Foundation & company history

Clever Vans was founded in 2012 by Ralf Gösser in collaboration with Pössl Freizeit und Sport GmbH. The brand was born out of the desire to offer practical panel vans with high quality and an attractive price-performance ratio. Clever Vans is headquartered in Gräfelfing, Bavaria. The vehicles are manufactured in a specialized plant in Tószeg, Hungary. Over 160 employees work there on a production area of more than 6,000 m². Since its foundation, Clever Vans has developed into one of the largest German panel van manufacturers. With an annual production of over 2,500 vehicles and a constantly growing international sales network, the brand has successfully established itself on the European market.

Clever Vans specializes in the development and production of panel van motorhomes that impress with their clever space solutions, high functionality and solid quality. The focus is on the practical design of the vehicles, which makes both everyday life and traveling with the motorhome as comfortable and uncomplicated as possible.

Price range

Depending on the model and equipment, the vehicles generally start at around 55,000 to 60,000 euros (RRP), but depending on individual options and expansion can be up to over 70,000 euros reach. What particularly sets Clever apart: Many features that are only available as expensive extras from other manufacturers often come as standard here - including, for example, high-quality furniture, Seitz framed windows, insulated water pipes or a solid heating system. The transparent equipment policy and a good basic equipment package mean that even newcomers have access to a fully-fledged motorhome without high additional costs.
