It is notably the first [fully electric and towable teardrop camper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tiny-camper-stubby) which pushes the brand's sustainable efforts even further. It is only 510 kg in total, making it the most lightweight and eco-friendly model that has been produced by the brand yet. The previous models relied on diesel heating and gas stoves and the MINK-E is [entirely electric](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ae1). The design language nods to its Nordic roots, which is no new route for the brand. It has a large panoramic skylight and rounded side windows to connect to the surroundings.
