New Ford ‘Nugget’ Smart Campervan Comes With Larger Kitchen, Personal Shower
Ford recently unveiled the all-new Transit Custom Nugget camper, a collaboration with renowned converter Westfalia, promising a host of modern features for an upgraded road-trip experience.
This next-generation Nugget incorporates the automaker’s latest vehicle platform, offering drivers a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain option, as seen in the Ford Kuga Plug-In Hybrid.
The interior of the camper is significantly different from its predecessor, now focusing on heightened comfort for travelers on their getaways.
Its distinctive layout features separate areas for cooking, living, and sleeping while remaining adaptable, with seats that transform into a dining and sleeping area when parked.
Campers can busy themselves in the brand-new L-shaped kitchen, boasting a practical new drawer fridge with an integrated hob and sink unit—providing 20% more worktop space than before.
A shower, offering both cold and hot water, can be accessed at the rear of the camper, with an optional tailgate tent available for extra privacy.
Another highlight of the new Nugget is the integration of smart features to enhance connectivity and convenience while on the road.
For example, passengers can make use of wireless charging and a standard 5G modem to remain connected even while off the beaten track.
Additionally, the solar roof option contributes to powering interior features or recharging the leisure battery as an eco-friendly energy solution.
Within the living space of the vehicle, one can find a dedicated seven-inch color touchscreen, providing easy control over heating, water levels, battery status, and lighting.
This touchscreen also enables advanced features like customizable color mood lighting and an inclinometer function to aid leveling on uneven terrain.
A Bluetooth-enabled application transforms any smartphone into a remote control for various cabin functions, adding an extra layer of convenience.
“Nugget is about helping owners discover new places—and with the extra comfort, connectivity and PHEV option of the new model, they can go further than ever,” said Hans Schep, general manager, Ford Pro, Europe.
“Customers tell us they use their Nuggets as family cars, to get friends and bikes to the next trail, or as a more exciting kind of retirement plan, so we designed our latest Nugget to do it all.”
