Perfect for two: the HYMER DuoCar prototype

Catering to the needs and wishes of its customers has always been very important to HYMER, the Swabian motorhome manufacturer. When the vehicle on a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis was being designed, HYMER therefore worked together very closely with the innovation company Venture Idea from Düsseldorf, which incorporated current trends, valuable best practices and inspirations from related industries into the development process. Above all, however, customers were involved in the process in the form of regular focus groups and on online platforms. Together, ideas were gathered and evaluated, and a new concept was developed in the end. The result of all the hard work was a total of eight new layouts, one of which will be on display at the CSD as the finished prototype: the HYMER DuoCar. Based on the feedback from dealers and end customers, which will be collected during the exhibition, HYMER intends to push ahead with the development of the DuoCar to get it ready for market launch.

The majority of motorhome enthusiasts travel as couples, so when it comes to purchasing a new vehicle, they focus on different features than families or single people. The HYMER DuoCar boasts a separate shower and toilet, making it possible for both to be used at the same time. The spacious bathroom is located at the rear of the vehicle and can be accessed from both inside and outside. The generous double bed has an impressive length of two metres, giving you all the legroom you need, without being restricted by walls or furniture. This can be easily folded away to create a couch in a few simple steps, taking up less space during the day as a result. There’s no need to make the bed every day either, as the bedding disappears into the folding mechanism. This creates a spacious lounge area featuring a two metre long sofa, which forms a cosy sitting area together with the two comfortable seats in the cab. The continuous windows on both sides, which are extremely rare in the industry, are another highlight of the vehicle. All of this glazing transforms the panel van into a bus. Combined with the new and tasteful lighting concept inside, the HYMER DuoCar invites you to enjoy long holidays for two.
