Peugeot Partner Alpin Camper launched

One of the smallest vehicles to be unveiled at the 2019 Düsseldorf Caravan Salon was the Peugeot Partner Alpin Camper. Indeed, an overall body length of just 4.75 metres (15’ 7”) should mean that driving and parking this compact van are stress-free experiences.

The conversion, which is carried out in Bavaria, appears to be simple but well executed. A side-facing sofa transforms into a double bed measuring 1.95 metres (6’ 4”) by 1.12 metres (3’ 8”), while underneath there’s enough space to accommodate a compressor fridge.

Installed opposite is a slim kitchen unit. This houses a stove (fuelled by gas cartridges), a sink and tanks for both fresh and waste water.

For added comfort, the walls and ceiling are fully lined and insulated, plus the specification includes an auxiliary heater that’s controlled via an LCD panel. Also, the plywood floor is water repellent and a dedicated leisure battery is fitted.

Such compact dimensions do have their disadvantages, though. Clearly the habitation area is going to be rather cramped, storage is limited and off-grid camping for more than a couple of days could be challenging. Disappointingly, the maximum number of belted travel seats is three (and they’re all in the cab), so the Partner Alpin Camper might not be able to replace the family car.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
