Built for Extreme Environments

World's First Electric Ice Explorer in Jasper National Park

 

Noble Northern partnered with Pursuit to help bring the world’s first electric Ice Explorer into operation at the Columbia Icefield in Jasper National Park.


Designed for glacier travel in one of Canada’s harshest operating environments, the Electric Ice Explorer combines proven heavy vehicle capability with advanced electric power systems, reduced environmental impact, and a quieter guest experience.


Operating off grid at high altitude and in extreme cold, the platform demonstrates how electrification can be successfully integrated into heavy commercial tourism operations without compromising performance.

 

The world’s first Electric Ice Explorer joined the Columbia Icefield Adventure fleet — an electric Ice Explorer developed in Canada
