EVs On The Tundra

EV Conversion

Noble Northern is a company that was created to help companies bring their EV ideas to life.   

Together in collaboration with Red River College (RRC), we assisted in the transformation of a diesel-powered Tundra Buggies into a battery-powered vehicle. The custom-built, diesel-engine, 40-passenger Tundra Buggy emits zero emissions and minimal sound, making it ideal for visiting polar bears and other wildlife as it is less invasive and not remotely polluting. 

 

Noble Northern has completed three electric tundra buggy conversions for Frontiers North Adventures and has also recently delivered a brand-new electric Tundra Buggy built from the ground up in collaboration with Polar Bears International and Frontiers North Adventures.

EV Tundra Buggy® One

 Tundra Buggy One was proudly manufactured by Noble Northern in collaboration with Polar Bears International and Frontiers North Adventures. Built to perform in one of the world’s harshest environments, this next-generation, all-electric tundra vehicle supports critical polar bear research, conservation, and education while minimizing environmental impact. 

EV Tundra Buggy®

 Noble Northern is working in collaboration with Frontiers North Adventures to convert existing diesel-powered tundra buggies into fully electric vehicles.  The result is a quieter, zero-emission vehicle that reduces environmental impact, enhances wildlife viewing, and extends the service life of tundra buggies operating in extreme conditions.
