The THOR x Harbginer hybrid RV is positioned by the brand as being the first of its kind Class A vehicle engineered with the future of the recreational vehicle market in mind. The vehicle is built with the hybrid motorhome chassis that utilizes a low-emissions gas generator along with electric. This allows the gas generators to power the onboard 140kWh battery that will work in tandem to deliver up to 500-miles of range to curb concerns surrounding range anxiety for RVers.
The THOR x Harbginer hybrid RV also features the battery hooked up to a solar panel array on the rooftop that will provide off-grid campers with the ability to stay comfortable for extended periods without hookup. The platform is expected to start showing up as soon as 2025.
