“Using our years of experience in cruising, we made sure that nothing was unnecessary, lost or inappropriate,” says EarthCruiser founder Lance Gillies. This partnership with GMC gives us a great opportunity to show how leisure tourism and travel can marry with zero emissions. »

At the heart of the conversion by EarthCruiser is a carbon fiber housing that is fully integrated into the vehicle’s chassis and that extends over it thanks to a triple-insulated lifting roof. The overall height thus increases from 2.29 meters to almost 3 meters.

The outer storage on the left contains emergency and emergency supplies. Drinking water connection (with 51 liter tank), additional and ambient lighting as well as utility hooks complete the package.

Inside, the space reaches a height of 2 meters. There is a double bed, sink, induction cooktop, refrigerator, water heater, indoor and outdoor shower, 12 V and 120 V outlets, several storage solutions and toilet. A 7-inch touchscreen control panel is also included.

No worries about power: 12-volt batteries and a solar power system on the roof can provide electricity for about seven days, the company says.

The GMC Hummer EV EarthCruiser will be available next year through EarthCruiser, but it’s already possible make a reservation. Pricing has not been determined at this time. Important fact to mention: the conversion is not covered by the General Motors new car warranty.
