CATL launches electric RV on new platform: Xinlan and Kaiyue Ningjie A68

Chinese caravan manufacturer Compaks RV reduced its delivery cycle from 35 to 9–10 days after adopting the Haier COSMOPlat industrial internet platform. The entire production process is now online and standardized, enabling real-time tracking of all stages. Exports account for over 90% of output, mainly to Australia. The company's revenue multiplied several times over five years, and Rongcheng's caravan output reached 15,000 units in 2025, representing 30% of China's total.

China has over 200,000 registered camper vans but only 3,000 official campsites. Nine national government bodies led by the Ministry of Commerce have introduced measures to develop infrastructure: local authorities must optimize road management rules for non-standard vehicles and mandate dedicated RV spaces in new or renovated urban parking lots. Pilot cities like Yangzhou in Jiangsu Province are converting idle plots into RV havens with water, electricity, and service centers. RV sales in 2025 jumped 24.5% year-on-year, surpassing 20,000 units, making China Asia’s largest market.

Rongcheng Kangpaisi New Energy Vehicle Co., Ltd. has upgraded its caravan manufacturing by adopting digital technologies on the COSMOPlat industrial internet platform. Previously, assembling a single travel trailer with nearly 3,000 parts took 35 days, and custom orders required manual coordination. The new system automates the entire production chain, reducing lead times and increasing flexibility.

On July 27, 2026, a motorhome caught fire at an intersection in Laiguangying, Beijing, due to an electrical fault.

On July 27, a cultural tourism seminar was held at the Li'an Haigui Town conference center in Lingshui County, Hainan.
