TAIGA POSITIONS ITSELF AS A LEADER IN SNOWMOBILE FLEET ELECTRIFICATION IN SWEDEN

Taiga Motors Corp. is increasing its presence at Swedish ski resorts. After debuting its electric snowmobiles at SkiStar in Salen, Sweden, in April, 2022, Taiga is proud to be providing its award-winning Nomad snowmobile at an increasing number of prestigious resorts such as Idre Fjall, BranasGruppen and Hemavan Alpint, as well as utility provider Skelleftea Kraft.

Sweden continues to lead the transition to EVs (electric vehicles), on and off the roads

Sweden represents a huge winter sports market and Swedish customers are known for their high level of environmental awareness. This is particularly true when it comes to ski resorts, where Swedish customers have shown a clear preference for resorts taking action to make their operations greener.

SkiStar, the largest ski resort operator in Scandinavia, first put Taiga's electric snowmobiles through their paces in 2022. Now, the company is thrilled to be expanding its fleet as part of its goal to have a net-zero climate impact by 2030.

Stefan Sjostrand, SkiStar's chief executive officer, expressed his pride in adding even more of Taiga's electric snowmobiles: "We're proud to be increasing the size of our fleet of Taiga's electric snowmobiles to our operations. Taiga's technology is revolutionary, and in addition to using the machines for ski patrol and other mountain operations, we're excited to expand our fleet to offer our guests a more sustainable and eco-friendly experience."

"We are very grateful for SkiStar's renewed commitment and trust in our brand," said Sam Bruneau, CEO and co-founder of Taiga. "Putting the Nomad through its paces at their mountain operation has provided the perfect testing ground for our vehicle's capabilities, and we look forward to working with other ski resorts and operators to electrify their fleet."

The perfect sport-utility snowmobile with quiet, emission-free operations

Nomad, the world's first mass-produced 100 per cent electric snowmobile is a game-changer for mountain operations and ski resorts. This versatile sport-utility snowmobile is emission-free and operates quietly, ensuring that the natural beauty of the area is not disturbed by loud revving or exhaust fumes. Additionally, it requires no powertrain maintenance and does not require gas or oil, making it a cost-effective option over time.

Nomad is also highly functional, with a battery that can be fully charged in up to three hours on a 220 V (volt) charger, or to 80 per cent in about 40 minutes with the newly enabled DC (direct current) fast charge capability. With a range of up to 100 kilometres, it also boasts an impressive towing capacity of 511 kilograms (1,125 pounds).

Fleet owners benefit from lower costs of ownership over the lifetime of their snowmobiles. Each Taiga snowmobile represents a 12-per-cent saving in the total cost of ownership, a 78-per-cent decrease in operating costs and a reduction in emissions of up to 86 per cent over five years.

Mattias Hoglund, chairman and co-owner of Motorbutiken Klovsjo, said, "We're proud to be the first Swedish rental operator to offer customers guided or non-guided tours with our very own fleet of electric Nomad snowmobiles."
