New Victron · METSTRADE 2026 · Campervans, caravans and boating
Victron has launched the Koro 640 GX S, a single unit that combines almost everything you currently have fitted separately in the 12 or 24 V system of a campervan, caravan or boat: solar charging, alternator charging, battery monitor, power distribution and the GX control unit. We’ll tell you what it is, what connections it has, what problem it solves and what we still need to find out.
Short answer
The Victron Koro 640 GX S is a direct current (DC) distribution unit for 12 V or 24 V systems which integrates, in a single unit, two MPPT solar regulators, a DC-DC charger for charging from the alternator, a battery monitor, 18 load outputs (6 adjustable at 10 A, 3 switchable at 15 A and 9 continuous outputs of up to 25 A) and a GX communication hub. It features an inverter-charger output, 9 digital inputs, 4 tank level inputs and connectivity via VE.Bus, VE.Can, Ethernet, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Victron has unveiled it as a preview at METSTRADE 2026; it has not yet announced a price or release date.
Key figures published by Victron:
In a single enclosure, you’ll find six modules that are currently purchased, wired and configured one by one:
01
2 MPPT solar controllers
Two separate solar inputs. Useful if you have panels on the roof and a portable one, or if they face in two different directions.
02
DC-DC charger
Charge the service battery from the starter battery (alternator) whilst driving or sailing, without the need for a separate booster.
03
Battery monitor
Charge status, current consumption and range, just like a SmartShunt or a BMV, without having to fit a separate shunt.
04
18 power sockets
Dimmable, switchable and continuous for lights, water pump, fridge, ventilation or electronics, plus 2 x 50 A.
05
GX Communications Centre
The system’s central unit, such as a Cerbo GX: it connects all the Victron devices and enables them to be viewed and controlled remotely.
06
Intelligent load control
Dimming and switching of loads, tank levels and automated controls, via your mobile or the GX Touch.
This is the official connection diagram published by Victron. It shows everything that can be connected to the Koro without the need for any intermediate equipment:

Power inputs and outputs
Signalling, control and communication
Anyone who has set up the electrical system in a campervan or on a boat knows this: the 12 V system ends up being a collection of boxes (regulator, booster, shunt, fuse holder, distributor, relays, Cerbo) connected by metres of cable, terminals and hours of configuration. Every connection is a potential point of failure, and every piece of kit means yet another app or setting to manage. The Koro brings all of this together in a single unit designed to work seamlessly from day one.
Installation by components (today)
With the Koro 640 GX S
Important: the Koro is not an inverter
The Koro manages the DC power supply (12/24 V) and has a dedicated output for connecting an inverter-charger. If you need 230 V for a coffee machine, microwave or power tools, you will still need an inverter or inverter-charger, such as a Victron, MultiPlus or Phoenix Smart, and the appropriate lithium battery.
Campervans and motorhomes
For anyone who wants power strips, charging from the alternator and power consumption monitoring without cluttering up the cupboard with boxes and cables.
Caravan
A clean system that can be controlled via mobile phone, featuring dual solar charging, a battery monitor and a tank level indicator.
Boat
Unveiled at the world’s largest boat show: DC distribution, batteries, digital inputs and remote control, all in a single unit.
Just to be clear
Victron has unveiled the Koro as a preview and has not yet published its full technical specifications. At present, we do not know the current ratings of the solar regulators or the DC-DC charger, the capacity of the battery monitor, the dimensions, the weight, the protection rating, the price or the release date. We’re not going to make up figures: as soon as Victron publishes them, we’ll update this article and notify anyone who has asked us to do so.
At FVComponentes, we already assemble Victron electrical installations pre-assembled on a panel For motorhomes, caravans and boats: inverter, battery, booster, regulator and protection devices, all wired and configured. The Koro does not replace this work, it simplifies it: when it becomes available, we will be able to integrate it into our dashboards as the core of the 12/24 V system.
Our approach is simple: if your system fits within the Koro’s capabilities, we’ll recommend the Koro; if you need more solar power, a higher charging current or 230 V, we’ll suggest the combination of equipment that works best. We always use genuine Victron components and provide a pre-configured system.
Conclusion
The Koro 640 GX S looks set to be the simplest way to set up the 12/24 V system in a campervan, caravan or boat using Victron: solar and alternator charging, a battery monitor, 18 power outlets, tank level inputs and GX functionality, all in a single unit. We’re still waiting for details on the charging currents, the price and the release date. If you’re interested, sign up and we’ll be the first to let you know.
