Project Summary
Short description
Tourism Holdings Limited (
thl) and Holiday Parks Association New Zealand (HPANZ)
embarked on a process to make an Electric Campervan trip a possibility in New
Zealand as a low emission alternative to the current options.
THL started R&D on EVs in 2017 and introduced a Nissan ENV 200 van for road
testing and user insights in Dec/Jan and worked on completing a first electric
motorhome which was on display for the first time for industry trade at Trenz in early
May 2018 and for the public at EV world in Aug and Big Boys Toys in Nov 2018. Thl
proceeded ahead of the EECA schedule and put 10 eLDVs on fleet in December
January to start getting further insights
Thl and HPANZ have been working on 2 itineraries based on user insights and to
create a new experience. Now bookable itineraries are here :

Overall project
The first pilot of the EV programme at
thl has now been completed. The insights have
success
been gathered around the 3 important parts of the thl business model: build- rent –
sell
thl is committed to electric vehicles going forward, and the question based on the
current insights is how quickly the customers, the products (batteries especially)
market and the infrastructure will catch up.
New EV strategy is being formulated.
