ARGO has released the 100% electric Atlas EV amphibious XTV.
The Atlas EV stands out not only as a fully amphibious, go-anywhere vehicle but is also a testament to ARGO’s advancements within the electrification field. The newly launched Atlas EV XTV touts a 28-kilowatt-hour battery pack powering a single electric drive motor as well as an independent steering motor, while the ARGO Admiral E-steer transmission incorporates steer-by-wire technology for seamless and progressive maneuvers. The Atlas EV demonstrates the vast knowledge and understanding ARGO has accrued in electrification and drive technology for over a decade being a key player in the electric unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) and autonomous driving markets.
The Atlas EV introduces ergonomic updates with an adjustable split front seat and contoured seating. The sleek cosmetic refinements to the headlights and internally recessed winch retain all the function while making this Sky Silver Metallic 8×8 one eye-catching, very capable machine. The Atlas EV also comes standard with a comprehensive 12-inch touch screen display equipped with vehicle location technology, intelligent terrain mapping and on-demand vehicle health reporting.
Previewed a few weeks ago at the 55th annual SnoBarons HayDays in North Branch, Minnesota, ARGO held an exclusive intro event to a select group of attending powersports veterans, providing an opportunity to jump in and feel the instantaneous acceleration of the newly unveiled, go-anywhere product. Statements like, “This is the most powerful, easy-to-operate, maneuverable and competent XTV Argo has ever produced,” and “ARGO has another winner with the Atlas EV 8×8,” are just a couple of the responses we heard.
Brad Darling, president and CEO of ARGO, stated, “When ARGO started making electric UGVs over a decade ago, we knew the demand to put people in one would come in the near future, which is why we developed our UGVs to easily accommodate that need while keeping all the functionality that has proven successful in the autonomous drive markets.”
Continuing to differentiate themselves from industry competitors, ARGO once again shows what it means to “Know No Boundaries.” ARGO’s reservation program for the Atlas EV opened Sept. 28, and customers can claim their production slot at ArgoXTV.com.
