In Brief

On May 23, 2026, Marcopolo Motorhome delivered the first NOMADE camper van. The model is designed and built in Brazil, featuring a 175 hp Cummins diesel engine, all-wheel drive, and an Allison automatic transmission.

Marcopolo Motorhome, a division established in late 2024, handed over the first NOMADE unit on May 23, 2026, at its factory complex in Caxias do Sul. The first owner is an entrepreneur from Santa Catarina.

The NOMADE is a 7.5-meter integrated camper van, designed from scratch without using a truck chassis or converted van. It is equipped with a 175 hp Cummins diesel engine, an Allison automatic transmission, and a 4×4 system with low-range gearing. The model is intended for off-road and long-distance travel.

Features include a slide-out section that expands living space by 16 m², 4G/5G satellite internet, solar panels up to 800 W, and a lithium battery. Further deliveries are planned throughout 2026, potentially reshaping Brazil's motorhome market, which has been dominated by imported models.

The Fernandópolis City Council approved in an extraordinary session on September 3 a bill officially naming the public space in the parking area of the Dr. Querton Ribamar Prado de Souza Municipal Gymnasium ('Beira-Rio') as 'Motorhome Support Point Valdecir Aparecido Carreteiro'. The bill's author, councilman Lucas Biazotto Ferreira, stated it is a posthumous tribute to the local citizen, who died on April 17, 2025, at age 61, and was known for his contributions to the community and his passion for roads and travel.

Marcopolo has unveiled the Nomade motorhome, priced from R$ 1.5 million. The 7.5-meter model offers 12 m² of interior space, including a bedroom, bathroom with shower, living area and a kitchen equipped with refrigerator, oven, microwave and wine cellar. An additional kitchen is located outside. The vehicle comes with air conditioning, washing machine, TV, 360-degree cameras, solar panels and Starlink satellite internet. It produces 175 hp, paired with a six-speed automatic transmission and 4x4 drive. According to Marcopolo, the entire 2026 production run has already been sold.

In Brazil, the market for luxury horse trailers used in vaquejada competitions has reached prices comparable to high-end real estate, with costs exceeding R$ 50,000 per square meter. These vehicles, such as the one owned by singer Wesley Safadão, valued at over R$ 1 million, feature gold-plated faucets, automatic doors, and outdoor leisure areas. The industry classifies these trailers on a one-to-five-star scale based on comfort for riders and animals. One of the most expensive trailers at the Expofeira event in Bahia included two full suites, a kitchen, and air conditioning. The economic rationale is tied to the growth of vaquejada as a business: a single event creates about 100 direct and 300 indirect jobs, and the record sale of a horse reached R$ 6.5 million.

From September 4 to 7, the Atafona resort in São João da Barra will host the 5th Expocampismo of Rio de Janeiro State.

The municipality of Parauapebas carried out an operation to remove nine trailers and one tent that occupied public parking on Avenida Liberdade between JK and Santa Maria streets. The action, held on the morning of Thursday, the 27th, is part of the regulation of public space use.

Under the rules, such structures may remain in parking lots only from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., and spaces must be free during the day. Violations may result in fines and administrative removal.
