ARI Motors released a camper van the size of a regular van — and it's now Germany's smallest production electric camper at €30,000. JAL decided its passengers hadn't traveled enough and offered a sequel: a motorhome pickup straight from Narita. The lawsuit against Stellantis over "cheat" diesel software, a yellow DHL van in the hands of a retiree, and 413 million campsite overnight stays across Europe — all in this issue.

New Parking Restrictions for Motorhomes and Caravans in Greece

Greek police have issued a clarificatory order establishing new parking rules for motorhomes and caravans. Within populated areas, motorhomes over 7.5 meters and all caravans are limited to 24-hour parking, while outside populated areas there are no time limits unless prohibited by signage. The order clearly distinguishes legal parking from illegal camping, prohibiting the deployment of additional equipment like awnings or chairs.
