At the CMT exhibition in Stuttgart, Dethleffs presented the C-Fold folding caravan concept, designed for electric vehicle owners. When folded, the trailer height is 1.65 m, reducing aerodynamic drag and potentially increasing EV range by 100 km, according to the company.

German manufacturer Dethleffs has unveiled the C-Fold (also referred to as C.Fold or c.fold) folding caravan concept at the CMT 2026 show in Stuttgart. The 5.5-metre-long trailer weighs 775 kg and is designed to be towed by electric vehicles.

Design and aerodynamics

When folded, the trailer stands 1.65 m tall (some sources say 1.6 m) and 1.9 m wide. A pop-up roof doubles the interior volume. The body is made of aluminium composite and features self-levelling air suspension. According to the company, the improved aerodynamics CAN increase EV range by 100 km compared to towing a conventional caravan.

Features and prospects

The interior is modular: a compact kitchen, a toilet that slides out from the floor, and a front lounge that stows away. The trailer is equipped with integrated solar panels and lithium batteries. The concept weighs 775 kg, with a target of 600 kg for the production version.
