Medina, MN (1/7/2010) - Polaris
Defense today announced the introduction of
their Low Speed Vehicle, the Polaris EV LSV,
designed for on and off-road use."
We are excited to introduce the Polaris EV
LSV to the military market," said Mark
McCormick, managing director of Polaris Defense.
"The features and superiority of our
product will greatly benefit applications
that require vehicles with on and off-road
capabilities."
Based off the RANGER EV platform, Polaris'
first off-road, electric vehicle, the Polaris
EV LSV includes the necessary features including
horn, turn signals, automotive-quality windshield
and rear view mirror, for on-road use. With
its 30 horsepower electric motor, quiet operation,
50 mile range and 25 mph top speed, the Polaris
EV LSV is the most-capable LSV available for
military use. The unit features three modes;
High for speed, Low for towing and hauling,
and Max for maximum range to ensure the best
use of power and battery life for any application.
The Polaris EV LSV was built to be tough
and reliable. Its 1,000-pound payload capacity,
1,250 lbs. of towing and On-Demand True All-Wheel
Drive for harsh terrain makes it a strong
work partner; and its exclusive 48-volt, AC
Induction motor provides high performance
with low maintenance for maximum reliability.
For recharging ease, the unit can be charged
using a standard 110 volt AC outlet.
Polaris Defense also is offering the Polaris
EV LSV to all Federal Government Agencies.
Available colors include Red, Blue and Green.
