Technology-focused website NewAtlas.com shines the spotlight on the Vanderer Urban Camper.

With a modular, multifunctional rear lounge so comfy it puts most full-size camper vans to shame, the Vanderer Urban Camper was easily one of the coolest mini-campers of 2021. A year and a half later, it’s getting even better. The homey tiny lounge-on-wheels is going fully electric atop the Peugeot e-Rifter and Citroën e-Berlingo. It’s hard to tell what’s most efficient about the new van – its zero-emissions powertrain or its ability to work as a daily driver for up to seven passengers before morphing into a camper that sleeps four and allows prep and clean-up of all meals.

Back in January, Stellantis announced that its compact and midsize European passenger van lines would be going all-electric, losing the gas and diesel options. The Peugeot Rifter small van, and its Citroën Berlingo and Opel/Vauxhall Combo Life Stellantis siblings, were among the vans to make the move. With a dwindling number of ICE models left on the market, camper van makers that work with those vans are following suit and going electric, too.

Though the e-Rifter Vanderer package is currently available directly from Vanderer, Peugeot was eager to announce the new electric camper this week, on the heels of announcing some minor updates for its smallest van. The e-Rifter Vanderer serves as an intriguing early preview of the future of city-friendly zero-emissions MPV leisure vehicles.
