Canada’s Pursuit has converted one of its old diesel ice explorers to electric.
The refurbished EV is powered by a huge, 528 kWh battery, which is big enough for about 30 trips up and down the Columbia Icefield.
The old cabin was kept, but the chassis and the driveline are completely new.
Canada’s 10,000-year-old Columbia Icefield can now be explored in complete silence, thanks to the world’s first all-electric ice explorer.
The huge, eight-wheeled truck was converted from diesel to electric by Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality with the help of Manitoba’s Noble Northern as part of a pilot program that kicked off for this year’s exploration season.
