Brevard, NC – August 31, 2021 – SylvanSport, the Brevard, NC-based maker of innovative camping trailers and gear, announces the development of a 100% electric motorhome line. To accomplish its vision, SylvanSport has partnered with Zeus Electric Chassis, Inc., a fully configurable class 3-8 electric work truck manufacturer. The companies are collaborating on new product development to realize their shared vision of a more sustainable outdoor adventure experience.

“From the inception of SylvanSport in 2004, we knew that our innovations in product design would one day lead to the creation of a class-leading, all-electric motorhome,” says Tom Dempsey, Founder & CEO of SylvanSport. “Zeus’s technology advances, from chassis design to energy storage and management, are helping us to achieve this in the most forward-thinking, environmentally clean way. This is a phenomenal partnership!”

SylvanSport envisions a new line of all-electric RVs, currently code-named “Leading the Charge”, with new technologies to eliminate emissions, reduce waste, provide water recycling solutions, and more.

“As we look to the future of transportation and clean energy, our vision is to bring vehicle electrification to the outdoor recreation and RV industry,” says Wayne Kugel, Zeus Electric Chassis CEO.  “With SylvanSport’s experience and leadership in these industries combined with our expertise in electric vehicles, this collaboration is the best of both worlds.”
