New Atlus offered a look at Trakka’s 2025 Torino camper van, which returns to the company’s lineup after a short hiatus.

Trakka has long been building some of Australia’s most rugged, agile off-grid adventure campers, from its original Volkswagen T2s, to its pop-top Toyota Land Cruisers, to a modern lineup of nomadic workspaces, modular camper kits, and Outback-ready exploration machines. Now it’s kicking off what might just be its most luxurious lineup yet. It starts with the 2025 Torino, a 599-cm (236-in) Fiat Ducato that’s ready to take off-grid living to new heights with a 48-V electrical system that makes possible premium features like a washing machine, big screen smart TV, and slide-out wood-fire BBQ grill.

The big foundational element of the new Torino, and Trakka’s 2025 camper van lineup at large, is a 48-V electrical system developed in conjunction with EcoFlow. The new system is being integrated into the lineup as standard, bringing enhanced electrical capabilities that provide for an unprecedented level of upgrading.

Trakka takes advantage of EcoFlow’s modular RV electrical architecture, offering a single lithium base battery with 106 Ah and 5,120 Wh. Those looking for more capacity can add a second and third stackable battery for up to 300 Ah and 15 kWh. The system also includes a 3,600-W inverter and 460-W solar charging system as standard.

In addition to supporting new features and add-ons, including a standard induction cooktop and electric water heater that cut down on diesel usage, the new 48-V system boosts safety by increasing efficiency and reducing electrical waste heat. It also lessens the necessary supportive hardware for the full camper amenity set, running power through a central hub with 240-V, solar, inverter and charger hookups.

Beyond the water heater and cooktop, the upgraded electrical system also powers a standard microwave oven, tall 150-L fridge/freezer, and lighting array with large overhead LED panels.
