In Brief

Japanese company LAC Holdings will debut two electric camper concepts based on the Kia PV5 at the Japan Camping Car Show 2026. The models use the vehicle's 71.2 kWh battery to power appliances without an additional auxiliary battery.

LAC Holdings will showcase two electric camper concepts based on the new Kia PV5 electric vehicle at the Japan Camping Car Show 2026, held at Makuhari Messe from January 30 to February 2, 2026. This marks the first public display of such models in Japan.

The key feature of the concepts is the use of the vehicle's standard 71.2 kWh battery to power all onboard systems, eliminating the need for an additional auxiliary battery commonly found in traditional RVs. According to the manufacturer, the battery capacity is sufficient to run the air conditioner throughout the night and power household appliances via outlets rated up to 1500 W. The models also offer low noise levels and CAN serve as an emergency power source.

Japan Tightens Oversight on Overloaded Trailers and Special Vehicles

Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is strengthening measures against overloading of trailers and other special vehicles. Data shows 140,000–150,000 overload violations annually from 2021 to 2023, with about 5,000 out of 9,000 offending operators lacking permits. The ministry plans to revise regulations: issue warnings after a first violation for unlicensed vehicles, lower the threshold for administrative guidance from 20 violations in 3 months to 20 in 2 years, and facilitate criminal prosecution when road infrastructure is damaged.
