Das Konzept-Wohnmobil VisionVenture

Wie wird das moderne Reisen im Jahr 2025 aussehen? Diese Frage haben sich HYMER, der führende Hersteller von Premium-Reisemobilen und -Wohnmobilen, und BASF gestellt. Die Antwort lautet: VisionVenture.
Der VisionVenture ist ein seriennaher Ausblick in die Zukunft des Reisemobils. Mit mehr als 20 innovativen BASF-Kunststoffen und der Entwicklungskompetenz des BASF Creation Centers ist eine neue Fahrzeugklasse entstanden, die völlig neue Maßstäbe in Sachen Leichtbau, Autarkie, Reiseerlebnis und Design setzt.

Seats and bench seats are subject to particular loads in the VisionVenture. They serve for eating, playing, sleeping and the cushions are often used as steps to reach the high shelves. The specialists at BASF therefore selected the tried and tested polyurethane foams Elastoflex® and Elastofoam® for the cushions. These foams are very frequently used for chairs, armrests and backrests in the furniture and vehicles sectors. The system’s good flow properties give designers ample design freedom and also make it possible, for example, to foam-seal the inner parts of the upholstery cushions. Photo: Hymer GmbH & Co. KG

The slate walls in the wellness area of the VisionVenture are a world first. Up until now, it has not been possible to work with natural stone in the vehicle interior due to weight considerations. This is changing with the advent of VeneoSlate®, which is manufactured using the compact, non-foamed polyurethane Elastocoat®, as the material has a thin and incredibly lightweight layer of slate on its surface. Thanks to its low mounted height of only 1 millimeter, it can be installed in a highly spacesaving manner. The material also combines the silky and natural appearance of the natural stone with the light weight and flexibility of polyurethane. This gives a huge degree of design freedom. Convex and concave shapes can be produced without any problems and the material’s water resistance makes it ideal for use in bathrooms and wet rooms. Photo: Hymer GmbH & Co. KG

With Elastoflex ®, natural materials in the living area of the VisionVenture can be seen and felt in a new way. The polyurethane foam system is actually known as a glass fiber reinforced material for structural components; in the campervan, it accentuates the natural fiber hemp on decorative surfaces such as cupboard doors or kitchen fronts. The VisionVenture, co-created by BASF and HYMER, is a near-production glimpse into the future of van life. Using the development ex-pertise of the BASF Creation Center, a new class of van has been created that blazes a trail in lightweight construction, independence, travel experience and design.

Robust seat cushions for the VisionVenture. Seats and benches are a special feature of motorhomes. exposed to stress. The polyurethane foam used for the upholstery Elastoflex® W has proven itself for such applications and contributes to weight reduction in the vehicle due to its low density.

One of the several world-first innovation in the VisionVentureis is the self-inflating tent roof, which creates additional space in the living area in under 60 seconds. The roof is coated in Elastollan®, creating a waterproof and windproof, lightweight and stable exterior wall, which generates the ideal atmosphere for a comfortable night’s sleep. Due to its high elasticity, excellent mechanical strength and particularly high tear resistance, Elastollan® has been selected for this application. Due to the UV resistance of the material, the VisionVenture does not heat up as much as ordinary motorhomes. In addition, Elastollan® has good resistance to ozone, which helps to maintain full elasticity. As a result, Elastollan® not only offers a long service life, but also features that were not yet available to motorhomes in this way. Photo: Hymer GmbH & Co. KG

Von der Inspiration bis zur Lösung: Das BASF Creation Center in Aktion

Mit der Entwicklungskompetenz des Creation Centers der BASF ist eine neue Fahrzeugklasse entstanden, die neue Maßstäbe in Sachen Leichtbau, Autarkie, Reiseerlebnis und Design setzt. Während eines gemeinsamen Workshops von BASF und HYMER wurden in kreativer Atmosphäre Visionen entwickelt, Materialien physikalisch und digital entdeckt und dank Trendberatung, Materialkompetenz und einzigartiger Simulationstechnik erste Ideen umgesetzt.

Von der Inspiration zur Lösung, alles an einem Ort. In Rekordzeit ist das futuristische Reisemobil entstanden, das neue Maßstäbe für das Caravaning der Zukunft setzt.

Dieses Ergebnis zeigt: Das Creation Center ermöglicht neue Wege der Zusammenarbeit und schafft Innovationen wie den VisionVenture.
