The Road to Innovation

摘要

The RV industry is massive. An estimated 10 million households in the US own an RV while conservative estimates place the industry's economic impact around $50 billion per year. At RVX, the industry trade show for recreational vehicles that happened for the first time this year in Salt Lake City, you'd notice a seismic shift towards electric battery tech, connected home devices, and groundbreaking design elements. One of the companies leading the charge in innovation is Winnebago, which recently debuted an all-electric, zero-emissions Commercial Vehicle. By utilizing a Ford F53 EPIC all-electric chassis, the 33-foot-long vehicle uses an array of lithium-ion batteries to give the vehicle a range of 85-125 miles. That means this EV is meant for more commercial applications. Think: blood-mobiles, mobile classrooms, and food trucks.
