Introducing CBE
In our blog series, we regularly introduce you to brands from the AL-KO Vehicle Technology Group portfolio. Look forward to fascinating insights and innovative products! For over 40 years, CBE has helped make motorhomes and caravans even more comfortable and safer with its electronic components. By acquiring the Italian specialist in 2018, the AL-KO Vehicle Technology Group expanded its core business to include system solutions for electronics.
Who is behind it?
The CBE Group is a leading European company for the production and sale of electronic components and wiring harnesses for motorhomes. Caravan owners can trust a wide selection of high-quality products that can be installed by anyone.
In addition to its headquarters in Trento, CBE operates facilities in Arco on Lake Garda, as well as in Soliman, Tunisia. The company develops and manufactures electronic solutions tailored to the specific needs of recreational vehicle manufacturers. With over 40 years of expertise, this specialist stands out through excellent product quality and extensive know-how.
A Leader in Electrical and Electronic Equipment
A recreational vehicle without electrics? Unthinkable! Control panels, distribution boards, battery chargers, wiring harnesses, switches, sockets, frames, test panels, inverters — just a selection of the electrical components in use. Today, CBE products are installed in more than half a million motorhomes. One third of all vehicles manufactured in Europe are equipped with control units, 12-volt fuse boxes, and battery chargers from Trento.
Photovoltaic Modules & Mounting Kits
With CBE photovoltaic modules, you can easily generate your own electricity — cost-effectively and environmentally friendly. These modules are manufactured using the highest standards and advanced technologies. Their rated output is covered by a 25-year guarantee. The modules, made from either monocrystalline or polycrystalline silicon cells, are available in 100 or 135 watt versions.
Special high-quality aluminium mounting kits designed for motorhomes and caravans make installation on your vehicle both simple and completely secure. No drilling is required. For wiring — including for cameras or antennas — CBE roof cable entries are the optimal solution, providing maximum watertightness. Suitable for roof thicknesses up to 60mm.
Battery Chargers
Battery empty? Don’t worry — with the CB516-3 and CB522-3 battery chargers your power supply is ensured. These intelligent chargers can automatically charge lead-acid, gel, and AGM batteries using innovative 6-phase charging curves. Even battery pairs with different characteristics are charged reliably.
The chargers are protected against overheating, and the 12V outputs are secured against short circuits and reverse polarity. High-frequency switching technology delivers excellent performance at low weight and compact dimensions.
