The Airstream eStream concept travel trailer is battery-powered and self-propelled. (Airstream)
Airstream has built a self-powered electric travel trailer concept that can be maneuvered remotely without it being attached to a towing vehicle.
It's 80 kilowatt-hour battery pack can help drive the vehicle and provide stability control. (Airstream)
The single-axle eStream is equipped with an 80 kilowatt-hour battery pack that helps propel it while it's being pulled, which is particularly helpful for increasing the range of an electric tow vehicle. The electric motors can also help steer it on the highway as an advanced trailer sway control and provide regenerative braking that slows it down as it recharges the battery.
The eStream can be remotely parked using a smartphone app. (Airstream)
A smartphone app can be used to drive it to the tow vehicle to hitch up, rather than back the vehicle to it, and also steer it away toward a campsite parking space at low speeds.
The eStream's battery is large enough to provided up to two weeks of power for its fully electric appliances. (Airstream)
When stationary, the EStream can provide up to two weeks of power and is also equipped with a solar panel roof to help charge it in remote locations.
