The RV and caravan furniture industry is going through a real revolution. The growing demand for electric vehicles and the focus on sustainability are pushing the market to look for innovative solutions to reduce the overall weight of vehicles without compromising the quality and strength of the materials used. This change is also reflected in the choice of interior furniture panels, a crucial aspect for both energy efficiency and traveler comfort.
The challenge: getting lighter without sacrificing quality
With the rise of electric vehicles, vehicle weight becomes a critical factor for range and performance. Electric vehicles, while offering significant emission and sustainability advantages, tend to weigh more than their internal combustion counterparts due to the presence of batteries. To compensate for this additional weight, the RV and caravan industry is moving toward the use of lighter furnishing materials, but without sacrificing the strength and durability that these vehicles require.
Maller’s solution: super light and strong panels
In this context, Maller offers a concrete answer with a range of wood panels specifically designed to meet the needs for lightness and strength in the RV and caravan sector. Two of the most innovative and popular solutions are:
Paulownia blockboard panels: these panels, available in thicknesses from 12 to 15 mm, are distinguished by their incredible lightness. Paulownia is one of the lightest wood species in the world, but despite its lightness, it offers exceptional strength and stability, perfect for vehicle interior design.
- Paulownia 5-ply Blockboard;
- Structure: veneer Fineline + poplar veneer + Paulownia Blockboard + poplar veneer + veneer Fineline;
- Composition/Material: outer face fineline;
- Specific Weight: 385 KG/ 3 with +/-10% tolerance.
Thanks to these characteristics, Paulownia blockboards allow for a significant reduction in overall furniture weight, improving vehicle efficiency and optimizing the use of energy resources.
