Sleipnir 1: The Tailor-Made Titan

• Chassis & Build: Custom-engineered and built on a tailor-made chassis sourced from an American fire brigade truck.

• Dimensions: Measures a massive 15 meters in total length.

• Engine Power: Driven by a high-performance Caterpillar motor, engineered to deliver steady torque and reliability in harsh Arctic conditions.

• Tire Size: Equipped with massive 78-inch tires to navigate deep snow and uneven glacial surfaces.

• Onboard Amenities: Includes a fully functional onboard toilet within the enclosed, climate-controlled cabin for maximum passenger comfort during remote highland journeys.

• Panoramic Views: Large windows line the cabin, allowing clear views of the vast glacial landscape while keeping you protected from the elements.

Sleipnir 2: The Agile Explorer

• Main Fleet Vehicle: Serves as our primary operational vehicle, meaning this is the truck mainly used for our glacier tours.

• Tatra Suspension: Built on a specialized Tatra chassis, chosen specifically because Tatra is world-renowned for its independent suspension on each tire, ensuring a remarkably smooth ride over rigid ice ridges.

• Shorter Dimensions: Designed with a slightly shorter overall length to make it more nimble and optimized for the terrain.

• Seating Configuration: Features an efficient 3 + 2 passenger seating row layout.

• Tire Size: Runs on heavy-duty 65-inch tires.

• Onboard Amenities: Equipped with its own clean, accessible onboard toilet, ensuring self-contained convenience for all passengers out on the ice.

Advanced In-Cabin Tire Pressure Control

Navigating a glacier means constantly adapting to changing surface conditions, shifting from hard-packed ice to deep, soft snow.

Both trucks are equipped with a central tire inflation system that allows the driver to adjust the tire pressure of each wheel dynamically from inside the cabin while driving.

• In Deep Snow: The driver lowers the tire pressure. This flattens the tire's surface area, expanding its contact patch with the ground to significantly increase traction and grip.
• On Hard Ice: The driver increases the pressure back to standard operational levels to ensure efficient and stable tracking.

Cabin Design and Comfort

While engineered for rugged performance, the interiors are fully enclosed and optimized for passenger comfort.

• Panoramic Views: Large windows line the cabin, allowing clear views of the vast glacial landscape while keeping you protected from the elements.
• Climate Control: The passenger areas are fully heated to maintain a comfortable temperature regardless of the outside weather.
• Onboard Toilets: For peace of mind during long excursions into remote areas, both vehicles feature a clean, accessible onboard toilet.

Mind the Steps! Because these trucks require high ground clearance to safely navigate highlands and snowdrifts, entering the cabin involves climbing a few steep steps. Our guides are always on hand to assist passengers during boarding.
