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. 

Currently we are building the third EV Tundra Buggy for Frontiers North, one of Canada’s sustainable tourism operators, who plans to move forward with their vision of shifting their Tundra Buggy fleet of 12 to electric vehicles which could reduce their our GHG emissions by more than 3,600 Tonnes of carbon dioxide over the next 25 years.
