In times of housing shortages and rocketing rents in urban areas, alternative living concepts are becoming increasingly popular among the public. One such trend is Tiny Houses. The small mobile houses on wheels promise a life with freedom and offer everything you need to live: A shower, toilet, bed as well as a living area with a kitchenette. The AL-KO Vehicle Technology Group is also keeping abreast with the new living trend and is offering high-quality chassis as the foundation for various Tiny House body concepts.

Expertise in chassis building pay off
With decades of experience in chassis building, AL-KO Vehicle Technology Group also helped when it came to developing the AL-KO chassis for Tiny Houses. Thanks to a modular framework concept, this allows different body lengths and customized bodies without compromising safety. Thanks to the chassis’ high dimensional accuracy, the body for the Tiny House can be prefabricated to fit exactly. The hot-dip galvanized chassis components and multi-stage inspection process guarantee sustainability and the highest degree of safety. Quality characteristics, which the first German retailers have already experienced for themselves. A rising trend.

The AL-KO chassis can also be used in a multifunctional manner and proves ideal as a good foundation for sales offices and trade fair stalls.

Minimalism, mobility and sustainability combined
With a living area from 15 m² to around 45 m², a Tiny House in comparison to an average flat in Germany, which according to the Federal Bureau of Statistics is over 90 m², means minimalism and concentrating on the essential things in life. At the same time, the reduced floor space offers considerable benefits in terms of ecology and sustainability. As: The smaller the area in which one lives, the lower the CO² emissions, which are generated in the house. For example, through heating.

“New, modern living environments call for innovative solutions. Tiny Houses are a splendid example of how sustainability, minimalism and individuality can be combined”, says Mirko Trefzer, Senior Vice President Sales & Marketing at AL-KO Vehicle Technology Group. "We see this trend as an important future market and would like to use our chassis to form a secure foundation for high-quality Tiny Houses - whether while driving or in the stationary mode".
