Nissan wants to demonstrate the potential of Nissan. of the electric and, specifically, of his Ariya, through a particular and extreme project of which he already had; mentioned some details in the past. In fact, the Japanese electric car will face a challenge. a journey of 27,000 km from the (magnetic) North Pole to the South Pole. The "Pole to Pole" will last 10 months and, if there are no hitches, he will leave the city. in March. At the command of this expedition there is; a team made up of Chris and Julie Ramsey (husband and wife) who are not new to challenges of this kind.

For example, they were the first to complete the 17,000 km Mongol Rally in an electric vehicle, a Nissan Leaf. Obviously, for this new expedition, Nissan has developed a special version of its Ariya so that the electric crossover is able to tackle any type of route.

In this way, it will be It is possible to exploit the strong wind and the many hours of light of the polar areas to generate electricity; with which to recharge the car.

All in all, a certainly curious marketing initiative that will enable however to put the mechanics of the Japanese electric crossover to a whip in extreme conditions. It will be It is also interesting to find out how the child will behave. this prototype generator with wind turbine and solar panels. Chris Ramsey, commented:

With our adventures we want to demonstrate the great skills of the team. of electric vehicles. We take production cars, make the strictly necessary modifications and then put them to the test. We did the same with the Nissan Ariya. The special Pole to Pole version is not available. very different from the production version, but we needed more suspension; powerful and comfortable 39-inch tires.
