Unprecedented motorhome in Brazil, powered by diesel and solar energy, promises freedom during travel and greater sustainability
Brazilians love to travel and the Motorhome is a type of vehicle widely used by the more adventurous. This “house on wheels” allows you to live experiences around the world, without having a fixed place to live. However, fueling the vehicle for household maintenance is still something that makes adventurers dependent on gas stations. But that will change with the motorhome, unprecedented in Brazil, which guarantees autonomy for consumption items based on solar energy.
This innovation was designed and developed by Estrella Mobil, which guarantees a comfortable motorhome with air conditioning, electricity and hot water, fully autonomous, with part of the house sustained by solar energy. Such technology existed only in vehicles produced by international companies, but now it arrives in Brazil.
The unprecedented vehicle produced has 2 main sources of energy that give autonomy: solar energy plates and coupled generating equipment. The solar panels produce up to 1.200 Watts of power and are enough to give you that much-desired freedom when traveling. When there is not much incidence of sunlight, however, there is the option of activating the generator with energy reserve. However, the movement of the vehicle is still guaranteed by means of diesel.

The idea came from customers who felt the need to be more independent while traveling
Finding motorhomes with autonomy is a complex and difficult task, according to lovers of this type of vehicle. Therefore, many Estrella Mobil customers suggested that the company produce this model here in Brazil, due to their interest in more independent travel. Furthermore, motorhomes with that kind of power are still scarce on the market.
Some customers also reinforced that trips to regions with little access to electricity or even to gas stations, such as the North and Northeast, were complicated due to this lack of autonomy of consumption items. In this way, Estrella Mobil's development and research team carried out surveys and tests and then produced this revolutionary vehicle in the sector within Brazil. Thus, there is less diesel demand to keep the vehicle running.
The autonomous motorhome powered by diesel and solar energy is already being highly approved by customers
One of the customers who bought this new model, Heloísa Mader Velloso, 56, tells how this vehicle is different and has a sustainability bias. She says that she was looking for a car that emits less greenhouse gases and is more autonomous on the road, powered by batteries or renewable energy. The meeting with Estrella Mobil's Sprinter Mercedes was a deal that worked out super well, according to her.
“The construction standard and the details of the car, weight distribution, internal space, in short, how to have an induction cooker, an electric oven, a towel dryer, hot water that didn’t take long to heat up, came with great consistency to use what the vehicle structure could give. Security was also very important, with locks suitable for Sprinter, monitoring cameras, alarm system, tracking, accessories and installations”
