AI Transformer Home Trailer: A New Solution for the Affordable Housing Crisis
LAS VEGAS, NV, UNITED STATES, January 7, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- At the 2026 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), AC Future, a leader in sustainable smart living and intelligent housing solutions, today unveiled its first product, the AI Transformer Home Trailer (AI-THt), a CES Innovation Awards® 2026 Honoree in the category Vehicle Tech & Advanced Mobility. The company’s first product to market is a smart, expandable electric home on wheels, signaling a new category of intelligent, self-sufficient living. Designed in partnership with legendary Italian design house Pininfarina, the AI-THt brings together artificial intelligence, clean energy, mobility, and modern residential design into a single, deployable solution.
The AI-THt marks a major milestone for AC Future as it transitions from vision to execution with initial customer deliveries in the second half of 2026. Purpose-built for extended living, not only weekend camping, the AI-THt expands to approximately 360 square feet using AC Future’s patented expansion system, transforming a compact road profile into a multi-room living environment when parked. With a starting price of $158,000 for the premium trailer, the AI-THt is designed for customers seeking flexibility, resilience, and independence without compromising comfort or aesthetics.
CES attendees can participate in today's unveiling event: Wednesday, January 7th at 2 pm PST, located in LVCC North Hall, Booth 10321. AC Future’s leadership showcased the product’s intelligent systems, UI UX interface, and specific details about the company’s go-to-market strategy. The AI-THt’s architectural flexibility and premium materials converge to create a new standard for mobile living.
“This is a defining moment for AC Future,” said Arthur Qin, Founder and CEO of AC Future. “With the AI-THt, we are introducing our first product to market: a fully expandable smart home travel trailer that reimagines how people live, move, and connect. Partnering with Pininfarina allowed us to pair visionary design with real-world engineering to deliver intelligent, sustainable living without compromise.”
Designed for Production, Built for Real Life
Developed in close collaboration with Pininfarina, the AI-THt represents a significant evolution from concept to manufacturable product. Recently recognized with a Red Dot Award 2025 – Design Concept, the AI-THt reflects a shared commitment to human-centered design, usability, and long-term livability.
Key highlights of the AI-THt include:
A fully developed, patented expansion system enabling nearly 2× livable space, expanding to approximately 360 square feet for true multi-room residential living
A refined interior layout engineered for daily use, featuring premium Italian-inspired materials and modern home finishes rather than traditional RV styling
A newly developed chassis and exterior architecture, optimized for performance, aerodynamics, durability, and weight efficiency
True off-grid capability, combining high-capacity solar generation (2300W+), high-voltage battery storage (up to 90 kWh), EV DC fast and home AC charging, and integrated water recovery technology to reduce reliance on external hookups
A fully electric architecture enabling advanced functionality, including tow assist, auto-hitch capability, EV charging, and home backup power generation—unlocking capabilities not possible in ICE platforms
An AI-driven smart living system that manages energy, water, climate, and connectivity, learning user behavior to optimize performance in real time
Always-connected intelligence and safety, featuring satellite internet connectivity (Starlink), integrated security and remote monitoring, trailer self-parking, 360-degree surround view, blind-spot monitoring, active hitch monitoring, trailer-to-home power capability, and trailer-to-cloud and trailer-to-trailer connectivity
Meeting the Moment
As climate volatility, grid instability, and housing constraints accelerate globally, demand for resilient, flexible, and intelligent living solutions continues to grow. The AI-THt directly addresses these challenges by delivering true self-sufficiency, premium residential comfort, and smart automation in a mobile form factor.
Visitors can experience the AI-THt at CES 2026, Booth #10321, North Hall, Las Vegas Convention Center.
