Excellent feedback from visitors and media

ALPS ALPINE EUROPE GmbH Work anywhere – be at home anywhere: Alpine Cross Cabin
All models in the Alpine Cross Cabin series offer a new mobility concept that combines the comfort of a traditional motorhome with an optimized space for remote work. In other words, a seamless combination for the perfect work-life balance, hence the name Cross Cabin. The Alpine Cross Cabin Signature is the brand new flagship version of the series, with further models to follow throughout 2024: The Alpine Cross Cabin Adventure will be based on the MAN TGE 4x4 and will focus on off-grid excursions, while the Alpine Cross Cabin GO based on the more compact Toyota ProAce allows maximum mobility even in crowded urban areas. For the interior design of all Cross Cabin models, Alpine has adopted the Japanese aesthetic of minimalism and order - items are within reach when needed, but stored safely or even out of sight when not in use. This guarantees a tidy, harmonious interior environment that feels professional and relaxing at the same time. The wall and ceiling paneling in a slatted design is made of Queenply real wood panels with bamboo surfaces. Integrated, soft LED lights create a very cozy, harmonious atmosphere. The floor is equipped with tatami-style mats to complete the feeling of minimalism and functionality - a design unique to camping vehicles or motorhomes.
Alpine Cross Cabin Signature: Lightweight made of aluminum
Using the NEXSD ONE as the base chassis with its aluminum frame for the Alpine Cross Cabin Signature offers customers a long list of great benefits: The lightweight construction allows the vehicle weight to remain under 3.5 tonnes, including 2 passengers and usual luggage. Overall comfort and room height are significantly increased by the vertical walls that do not slope towards the roof, allowing for larger upper cabinets. The reinforced frame is made of 3.5 mm thick KTL-coated aluminum and is also a game-changer in terms of road safety, repairability and durability. All furniture is attached directly to the frame. "With the introduction of the NEXSD ONE, we have created a highly unique vehicle chassis that is perfect for the Alpine Cross Cabin Signature. We are very pleased to be working with Alpine and VanWeekend on this project and supporting many people's mobile working lives," says Helge Dröge, sales manager at NEXSD Automotive Innovations GmbH.
ALPS ALPINE EUROPE GmbH - A fascinating 'out-of-office' vehicle
The Alpine Cross Cabin Signature was designed to create a mobile work environment on the go. The conference and dining area in the rear is equipped with a 1.30m long table that has USB, HDMI and power connections. Additionally, a large touchscreen monitor can be used to present files or as a digital whiteboard. The separate PC workstation next to the entrance door has a pull-out 27-inch LCD monitor to which an external laptop can be connected. The Alpine Cross Cabin Signature offers a high-speed 5G mobile router with an external antenna, enabling video calls, streaming and cloud-based work in perfect quality. The vehicle cabin is soundproofed from the outside environment to ensure uninterrupted video conferencing in noisy places or in heavy rain.
Home Sweet Home - Living in the Alpine Cross Cabin Signature
The kitchen area of the Alpine Cross Cabin Signature includes two 800-watt induction hobs, a sink and a 70-liter Dometic refrigerator integrated into the kitchen unit. There are multiple drawers and overhead compartments for kitchen appliances, cutlery and other household items. The side wall of the bathroom can be pulled out to almost double the size and reveal the hidden, high-quality shower cubicle in marble décor with rain shower and sink. When folded, the bathroom only functions as a toilet, giving users additional space in the entrance area. Converting the conference and dining area into a full bed for 2 people takes place in seconds: the conference table is pushed down, then the two bench seats slide down and meet in the middle to create a large lying area. There is ample storage space for linens and pillows under and above the bench seating. The Alpine Cross Cabin Signature also has a diesel auxiliary heater and an electric hot water boiler. The control and monitoring of the electricity and water management is done via an 'Arvikon' interface, which can be operated via a large touchscreen or the Alpine Halo11.
ALPS ALPINE EUROPE GmbH Sound, entertainment & driving assistance systems:
The installed sound system uses two extremely flat Alpine Adventure Audio In-Cabin speaker panels - perfectly integrated into the wooden wall paneling in the conference area, as well as an Alpine OPTIM8 multi-channel DSP amplifier and a powerful, hidden Alpine subwoofer. Alpine's largest motorhome infotainment system, the Halo 11 including a navigation stick, is also installed. Together with the Adventure Audio sound system for the driver's area, excellent entertainment and navigation is guaranteed during long journeys. With the brand new 360-degree HD camera system and top view technology, drivers can virtually see the Alpine Cross Cabin Signature from above and maneuver it safely. Customers can even see what's happening behind the vehicle using Alpine's new "Freeview" e-Mirror system.
