Monovolume Expedition truck

Monovolume expedition truck is Zocama’s answer to use cabin area as part of your house in order to improve the use of space.

After building some 4x4 Campers, we realized there was a big opportunity to improve the use of space, because in a 4x4 truck, you have 2 separate spaces, the driver cabin and the caravan body but:

• When traveling, you only use the cabin space, the caravan part is empty.
• When you stop, it's the opposite and all the passengers are using the caravan area and the cabin is useless . 

Therefore you never use all the space, as you can in a cheap 4x2 camper van.

The reason why nobody has joint the 2 parts before is because the torsion of the chassis is very high (18º) and it will broke in the first 4x4 area…

The challenge: make the impossible!

We've dedicated a specific R&D team, experts in simulation and in building 4x4 truck for the Paris-Dakar rally. A key decision was using Watts ‘s Paralegram and pneumatic suspension, combined with an elastic steel used in aeronautic. With 3 rules in top of mind : reliable, reliable, reliable.

A really amazing project: 3 year of work, lost R&D investments, two prototypes and 60 000 km of stress test in Mongolia and North Africa. 

But the work is done now and the Monovolume Expedition truck is a reality: it works with an amazing space. We have a fantastic solution for those who want to optimize space. Including all the unit we've produced, we sum now more than 100 000 Km without any problem in the body : high temperature of Djibouti ( 44º ) , under zero of Siberia ( -20º), corrugated and washed out tracks  … 

We have Monovolume vehicles done using  MAN TGM doka and  Unimog U5000 . If you prefer another base just tell us we can study it.

Key figure for the MAN TGM version: 

•  Total length of 6,4 m, and only 3,4m high.
• 7 permanents seat  (5 front side, 2 backside), 5 permanent beds ( 1 double, 3 individual in the pop ‘up room ), and a transformable double-bed using the table area.
•  650l of water, 550l of fuel, 2 spare wheels, 2 months of food stock.
