First integral motorhome from Marcopolo Motorhome begins to hit Brazilian roads after presentation in 2024 and bets on 4×4 traction, 175 hp Cummins engine, Allison transmission, solar energy, satellite internet, complete kitchen, fixed bed, slide-out system, and structure developed to offer more comfort, autonomy, and capability to tackle different types of terrain during long-distance trips
Marcopolo Motorhome began delivering the Nomade, its first factory-integrated 4×4 motorhome, on May 23, in the city of Caxias do Sul, in Rio Grande do Sul.
The manufacturer delivered the first unit to a businessman from Santa Catarina, marking a new stage in the segment of complete recreational vehicles.
The model appeared to the public at the end of 2024, but now it is starting to hit Brazilian roads with a more robust and sophisticated proposal.

The integral design of the vehicle stands out as one of the main features of the project. The cabin and living area form the same structure, unlike many adapted models found in the market.
Integral project changes the motorhome proposal in Brazil
The Nomade bets on an integrated body, with a cleaner look and appearance far from the adapted motorhomes found in the market.
The robust front, full LED lighting, and modern lines reinforce the model’s identity.
Even with 7.5 meters in length, 2.36 meters in width, and almost 3.2 meters in height, the project preserves mobility.
This configuration allows travel in different scenarios without abandoning the vehicle’s adventurous proposal.
Marcopolo also developed the structure on a specific chassis for this type of application, with 8 tons of GVW.
Cummins Engine and 4×4 Drive Reinforce Adventurous Spirit
The mechanical set includes a 175 hp Cummins F3.8 engine, Allison automatic transmission, and 4×4 drive with reduction.
This configuration tackles more difficult terrains and enhances off-road capability.
Information released by Marcopolo Motorhome indicates that the project aims to balance performance, autonomy, and comfort in a single vehicle.
The combination of specialized mechanical components caters to travelers seeking more independence during their journeys.
Interior Offers Home Comfort on Wheels
The interior of the Nomade blends sophistication, functionality, and intelligent space utilization.
The dining area transforms into a bedroom with a bed, expanding accommodation possibilities.
The panoramic roof with LED lighting enhances the feeling of interior space.
The slide out system expands the usable area when the vehicle is parked.
With the feature open, the internal environment reaches up to 16 square meters.
Complete Kitchen and Fixed Bedroom Extend Autonomy
The kitchen includes a sink, Tramontina two-burner stove, 216-liter Dometic refrigerator, microwave, and oven.
Custom cabinetry improves the utilization of available spaces.
The bedroom features a fixed bed, wardrobes, TV, separate bathroom, and heated towel rail.
This configuration offers an experience similar to that of a compact residence during extended travels.
Onboard technology aims for safety and independence
The list of equipment includes a 360° camera with DVR, a feature that replaces traditional mirrors.
The energy storage system uses lithium batteries, extending the vehicle’s electric autonomy.
Connectivity is provided through internet via a satellite antenna compatible with 4G and 5G networks.
The flexible solar panels generate up to 800W, contributing to energy independence during travels.
External items enhance use off the asphalt
The adventurous nature is evident in equipment like a snorkel, front winch with a capacity of over seven tons, and an external kitchen.
Specific compartments for equipment enhance practicality during expeditions and travel.
The rear luggage rack transports motorcycles or bicycles, increasing exploration possibilities after reaching the destination.
The Marcopolo Nomade arrives in the Brazilian market combining 4×4 traction, onboard technology, solar energy, internet, and internal comfort in a single project.
