Honda unveiled the N-Van Compo, a camper under 3.5 m based on a Kei car, while German Ari Motors introduced the electric Ari 458 Pro, 3.5–3.82 m long. Both models are not sold in Europe but offer compact travel solutions.

Two new micro-campers have emerged, each claiming to be the smallest motorhome.

German company Ari Motors developed the Ari 458 Pro, ranging from 3.5 to 3.82 meters long. It is based on an electric light commercial vehicle with a range of up to 230 kilometers, designed for relaxed rural trips. The camper is delivered without furniture but includes pre-installed wiring, solar panels, and water connections.
