In collaboration with a leading automotive electronic company, REDARC Electronics, this new adventurer is equipped with state-of-the-art technologies. This [off-road truck](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/overland-campers) has a built-in camping platform, an alloy canopy, and two dual battery systems. The dual battery system is completed with REDARC's top technology - which displays power consumption monitoring, temperature, water levels, and accessory control. TDR off-road wheels and rear airbags are used which ensures ultimate passenger safety while driving along uneven terrain. The batteries can be charged using the [built-in solar rooftop panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/auriga-explorer) - making this vehicle a sustainable choice. While the stored solar energy is also used to power an air compressor, a fridge, and a sine wave inverter - used to charge laptops and other household devices.
