AL-KO Vehicle Technology ensures fun driving, safety, and customer-focussed service at the Caravan Salon 2023

In addition, SAWIKO will present its proven wide range of carrier systems for vans and motorhomes, as well as towbars and frame extensions. E&P and AL-KO will showcase their proven LEVEL M and HY4 levelling support systems, respectively. The reliable manoeuvring, support and anti-snaking systems for caravans round off the range of products on display.

Under the motto “Comfort. Setting the benchmark,” the company presents a completely new driving experience with the semi-active AL-KO COMFORT DRIVE body. Motorhomes tend to pitch or wobble. Their high body raises the vehicle's centre of gravity and makes them more vulnerable. AL-KO COMFORT DRIVE elegantly counteracts these effects. This significantly increases safety and at the same time considerably improves driving comfort on uneven terrain as well as on long journeys. COMFORT DRIVE automatically adapts to each road surface, imperceptibly compensates for road irregularities, and reacts automatically when braking, accelerating, or cornering.

With VARIO SPACE, the low-frame chassis for the latest generation of motorhomes, AL-KO VT offers a new space miracle in its range for Fiat, Peugeot, Citroën, and Mercedes-Benz chassis cabs. Depending on the motorhome’s design, CO₂ emissions and thus fuel consumption can be reduced thanks to improved aerodynamics. Or customers can get more storage space thanks to a higher double floor. The lower centre of gravity provides more stability and thus more driving safety. A higher level of driving comfort thanks to lowered access is particularly pleasing for disabled and older drivers.

It’s not possible to ensure your caravan or trailer is one hundred percent protected from thieves. However, vehicle owners can make any potential theft as difficult as possible. The key here is to make it too much effort for thieves to steal the vehicle, for example because getting past the security devices would draw too much attention or take too long. And this is exactly where Al-KO VT comes in with its new wheel claw prototype – AL-KO PROSAFE. It offers professional security through the intelligent use of highly resistant materials, insurance benefits thanks to recognised certification as well as built-in scratch and contact protection for the rims, all with user-friendly, simple installation in the shortest possible time, plus it provides a visual deterrent with its warning colours. The product will be available to buy as of the mid-2024.

In order to offer end customers even more service quality, the AL-KO Academy has once again significantly expanded its range of training courses for workshop managers, fitters, service staff, customer service staff and retailers. The spectrum ranges from basic training to professional workshops.
