Cartuator’s Electric Roof Lift System Powers Volkswagen ID.BUZZ Camper Debut at Tuning World Bodensee 2025

Cartuator, a pioneer in precision electric linear actuators, today announced its collaboration with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles on the revolutionary ID.BUZZ Camper “Vagatio 2024”. The vehicle made its global debut at Tuning World Bodensee 2025 – Europe’s premier automotive tuning exhibition – featuring Cartuator’s advanced electric roof lift system for campers.

Engineered specifically for electric camper vans, Cartuator’s waterproof linear actuator system delivers unprecedented performance:

• 1050mm lift height (40% greater than conventional systems)

• 100kg dynamic load capacity (supports sleeping units + solar panels)

• 98-second ultra-quiet operation (fastest in-class)

• IP67-rated all-weather protection (-30°C to 80°C range)

"Our 14-month technical partnership with Volkswagen focused on solving critical EV camper challenges," said Cartuator’s Chief Engineer. "Through dynamic current optimization, we reduced power consumption by 30% to minimize range impact. Our dual-safety sensor technology ensures millimeter-precision movement control, while the compact patented slide rail design saves 15% installation space versus competitors."

Strategic Market Impact
This landmark installation positions Cartuator as the first Chinese actuator manufacturer to penetrate Europe’s premium camper conversion market. Rigorously tested through 200,000 lift cycles, the system sets new benchmarks for:

• Automotive-grade safety compliance (ECE R107 certified)

• Over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates

• Seamless CAN bus integration

"Beyond camper vans, this technology platform is scalable to marine applications and smart shading systems," noted Cartuator’s European Business Director. "We’re currently developing IoT-enabled solutions for 2026 model-year RVs."
