Nissan Ariya Pole To Pole Expedition SUV To Use Towable Generator via insideevs.com
Nissan has unveiled the adventure-ready version of the new Ariya electric SUV that will undertake a 27,000-kilometer trip from the magnetic North Pole to the South Pole starting in March., the custom Ariya has been unveiled by the Pole to Pole expedition team and Nissan in the Arctic-like conditions of Iceland, with additional details about the vehicle being revealed in the process.
Since the Ariya will need to take on extreme terrains and environments, including ice fields, deep snow, steep mountain climbs and inhospitable desert dunes, Nissan called on Arctic Trucks, the specialists in polar expedition vehicles, to prepare the electric SUV for the tough conditions ahead. says the modifications to the car have been"intentionally minimal," with no changes to the battery or powertrain. However, it's hard to ignore the raised suspension and wider wheel arches necessary to accommodate the 39-inch BF Goodrich tires.
But the most important feature by far is the portable, renewable energy unit that will be used to charge thein the polar regions. The towable prototype includes a packable, lightweight wind turbine and solar panels that will harness the high winds and long daylight hours to provide charge for the EV's battery when Chris and Julie Ramsey stop to rest.
Nissan previously said a second modified Ariya will act as a support vehicle, so we can assume it will tow the generator, which hasn't been shown yet. "We are doing something that has never been attempted before, a world-first, and ultimately that is what makes it so exciting," said Julie Ramsey, co-driver on Pole to Pole.
