A Fair Rich in Innovations

Whether regarding safety at the wheel or adopting a more eco-friendly driving style, manufacturers are heavily investing in driving assistance equipment directly inspired by the automotive industry. The trend towards compact and maneuverable vehicles is also confirming, and to add a touch of aesthetics and comfort, the elevating roof is becoming mainstream on vans and campervans.

We can also sense a growing trend for vehicles with an all-terrain look, Crossover vans, or 4×4/off-road vans.
