Polaris Industries receives first order for Indian Army

7754217914eec2f90922c9.jpg


BANGALORE (PTI): US-based vehicle-maker Polaris Industries on Friday said it has received its first order from the Indian Army.

"We have already received our first order from the Indian Army," Polaris India Managing Director Pankaj Dubey told reporters.

He, however, declined to throw more light on the deal with the Army. Polaris military vehicles would strengthen the security in border areas.

"Polaris Light Tactical Vehicles would help achieve quick movement in anti-insurgency and anti-terrorist operations," he said.


For Indian Army!!

NEW! RESTYLED DESIGN WITH RAISED RADIATOR
A restyled body gives the Sportsman 6x6 an aggressive new look and improved sight lines for the driver. And with a 3" / 7.6cm raised radiator, the cooling system stays out of the mud.

ON-DEMAND TRUE SIX-WHEEL DRIVE
True AWD keeps you moving, automatically engaging all six wheels when you need more forward traction and reverting back to the rear four wheels when you don’t.

HIGH GROUND CLEARANCE
A full 10.5" (26.67 cm) of obstacle-clearing ground clearance lets you tackle some of the tougher terrain that comes your way.

ACTIVE DESCENT CONTROL (ADC) AND ENGINE BRAKING SYSTEM (EBS)
Work together to monitor and control downhill braking to give you optimum control and smooth, even deceleration during descents (less than 15mph / 24kph).

SIX-WHEEL INDEPENDENT SUSPENSION
All wheels articulate independently of one another for maximum traction in changing terrain, with long suspension travel (6.1" / 15.5cm).

SPORTSMAN® 550 EPS

The 2012 Polaris Sportsman® 550 EPS ATV is engineered for extreme off-road performance. Our most powerful COTS Mid-Size model, it features mid-size performance, with the same terrain tackling features of the 850. For 2011: larger fuel tank, new gauges, tyres and more. Key features are:
42 HP 550cc SOHC EFI Engine
Optional Electronic Power Steering (EPS)
Rolled Independent Rear Suspension (IRS)
Superior Ergonomics

LEGENDARY SMOOTH ROLLED IRS
Years of innovation and relentless tuning have refined the ride to a level unmatched in the industry. Rolled Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) angles the shocks rearward for a smoother ride and less squat during acceleration.

MAXIMUM POWER AND FUNCTIONALITY
Enough power to tow 1,500 lbs. (680 kg) and carry 360 lbs. (163 kg) on the racks, plus the ability to accessorize in seconds with the Lock & Ride cargo system.

ERGONOMICS FOR YOUR COMFORT
With the engine rotated 90 degrees, riders enjoy 33% wider floorboards and narrower vehicle width at the knees (3.25" / 8.3cm) and ankles. The narrower seat reduces leg fatigue and increases rider comfort.

STRONG, POWERFUL ENGINE
The Sportsman 550 EPS is powered by a gasoline 550cc single cylinder 4-stroke engine with SOHC and 4 valves.

OPTIONAL ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING (EPS)
The smoothest, most responsive power steering available, with 30% more power assist than the leading competitor, plus Variable Assist for easier steering at lower speeds and greater responsiveness at higher speeds.

ACTIVE DESCENT CONTROL (ADC) AND ENGINE BRAKING SYSTEM (EBS)
Work together to monitor and control downhill braking to give you optimum control and smooth, even deceleration during descents (less than 15 mph / 24 kph).

ANTI-KICKBACK STEERING
Placing the steering axis near the neutral center of the tyre and having the long dual A-arm front suspension dramatically reduces kickback and minimizes rider fatigue that comes with jolts from rough terrain.

ON-DEMAND TRUE ALL WHEEL DRIVE (AWD)
Still the best automatic 4x4 system out there, the AWD engages all four tyres when the rear wheels slip and you need more forward traction. Reverts back to 2WD when you don’t.

Should have bought it from Pakistan:

argo_off-road_amphibious_vehicle_ideas_2008_international_defence_exhibition_pakistan_karachi_003.jpg


The Argo off-road amphibious vehicle from the Pakistani Company PAK ARGO:
The Pakistani Company PAK Argo showed at IDEAS 2008, the off-road amphibious vehicle Argo. Designed for those who truly appreciate the great outdoors, the amphibious ARGO is the ideal off-road vehicle for airborne units or support unit for the transport o equipment to the battlefield. ARGO allows the military unit to travel with ease through the toughest condition imaginable, over rugged terrain, hills, water, deep snow and ice. The ARGO is also amphibious, and can be used in all season. The ARGO combines many of the advantages you get from a snowmobile, 4X4 ATV, 6x6 UTV and a small boat. The ARGO is available in 6x6 and 8x8 configurations. The vehicle can carried 4 people on land, 2 people on water for the 4x4 version, and 6 people on land 4 people on water for the 8x8 version.

Why have you brought Pakistan into this?



And anyway India is right to go to the source (Polaris) and get quality products than go to Pakistan and get some knock-offs.

:azn: knock offs of what? its a snowmobile,a boat,an ATV all combined into 1 badass vehicle.. on topic... india has vehicle manufacturers ... cant they produce even a simple ATV?

on topic... india has vehicle manufacturers ... cant they produce even a simple ATV?

They are separate entities- you don't see Ford or GM or FIAT or Jaguar or Mercedes etc producing such ATVs. They are specialist vehicles produced by specialist companies ie Polaris which has no link to a major automobile manufacturer. India clearly lacks this kind of specialist depth as of now. In the future things will be different but today it is what it is- no bother!

But just because something is Indian, doesn't mean we should buy it.

I don't see Pakistanis driving this indigenous Pakistani car?
