Carryboy (Thailand) and Farizon (a Geely subsidiary) have unveiled an electric motorhome based on the Farizon Super Van at the Bangkok International Motor Show. The vehicle lacks a central pillar, creating a wide entry, and has a layout with a bathroom behind the entrance, a U-shaped dinette, and two sleeping areas for 4–5 people. It is powered by an 82 kWh battery (range up to 372 km) and 650 W solar panels. Starting price is about 2.8 million Thai baht (≈$77,000).

Chinese automaker Leapmotor has unveiled the flagship D99 minivan. It is available as a full electric with a claimed range of up to 700 km and as an EREV with a 1.5-liter petrol generator, offering a combined range of up to 1160 km. The vehicle is 5280 mm long. Features include a 17.3-inch screen, rotating second-row seats, and a fishing mode. Sales have started in China, with prices starting at 249,800 yuan (approx. 138,000 PLN). No European launch has been announced yet.

On June 29, Lynk & Co 07GT had its global debut and started pre-sales priced between 165,800 and 185,800 yuan. It is the first in its class to feature MRC magnetorheological suspension from supercars and passed the moose test with roof cargo and trailer. Deputy general manager Zhou Xing said that after seven touring car titles in nine years, the 07GT will compete in rally from Q3.

On June 30, 2026, CCTV-2's 'Economy Half Hour' aired a report on the motorhome industry in Chenji Town, Yizheng, Jiangsu Province, covering manufacturing, conversion, and camping. Key facts: from January to May 2026, Chenji sold 708 motorhomes worth 360 million yuan; one in ten motorhomes in China is made here. Local companies have built a complete domestic supply chain for key components, ensuring stability amid global fluctuations. A week earlier, nine Chinese ministries eased restrictions on motorhome travel, and Yangzhou (including Chenji) was selected as one of 40 pilot cities for auto market reform in the 'motorhome and camping' segment.

Nine Chinese government departments jointly issued policies to support the RV and camping industry, covering R&D, manufacturing, sales, conversion and camping infrastructure. After the announcement, RV sales in Chengdu exceeded 42 million yuan in 2025. However, owners face a severe shortage of designated campsites — only about 1,000 certified RV parks exist nationwide, forcing many to park in regular lots. The average RV price has dropped from 600,000 to 400,000 yuan due to localized parts production, with domestic components costing one-third of imports while offering comparable performance.

In June 2026, China's Ministry of Commerce and eight other departments included RV camping as a key area in the automotive aftermarket consumption for the first time. Jiangxi Province, leveraging its automotive manufacturing base and natural resources, is accelerating the integration of RV production, campsite construction, and tourism services. In 2025, China's camping core market reached 248.32 billion yuan, driving related industries worth over 14.4 trillion yuan.
