Asmus believes, “how you get to your destination is as important as getting there.” Because of that, the mission at maltec is twofold: design comfortable, stylish vehicles and make them capable of going anywhere.
How you get to your destination is as important as getting there
Comfortable and Stylish
At maltec we don’t believe in form following function. We want our drivers to feel they have arrived at a destination in their own unique way, so we create each one of our vehicles with the drivers’ experience in mind. We understand you don’t need to sacrifice comfort and style for capability. Our vehicles offer luxurious cabins and interiors with unparalleled traveling, sleeping and living spaces. With our vehicles, the journey is as much a part of the adventure as the destination.
Reliably and Safe
At maltec we believe your vehicle should never be the reason you turn back. We know the reliability and safety of a vehicle is central to every successful overlanding adventure so we design each maltexplorer vehicle to the highest performance and safety standards and constantly put our vehicles to the test. We also design our vehicles with long range capabilities, including special chassis designs, extra fuel tanks and water reservoirs so they can go as far as your dreams will take you. They are the perfect vehicles for the modern explorer who wants safe, convenient and familiar overnighting.

Our vehicles offer ultimate Off-Road drivability and reliability allowing drivers to access destinations usually not reachable with other campers. They are the perfect vehicles for the modern explorer that also seeks safe, convenient and familiar overnight stays. Maltexplorers aim to fill the gap between a fully loaded RV which is not driveable in certain areas and the highest end Off-Road ability
