All new full-size Polaris RANGER for sale will be the first electric vehicle issued in collaboration with ZERO Motorcycles, driving leadership in Powersports electrification and advancing Polaris’ rEV’d up plan.
Electrification of the side by side
Polaris UK today revealed plans to debut an all-new 2022 electric Polaris RANGER utility side-by-side in late December 2021, driving the Company’s strategic rEV’d up electrification policy. This full-size Polaris RANGER is the first electric vehicle Polaris produced through its powersports industry-exclusive partnership with Zero Motorcycles®, which the two organisations announced last September. The Company anticipates the new electric Polaris RANGER for sale UK to start arriving in dealerships in spring 2022.
“Our rEV’d up strategy places Polaris to help define yet another episode in powersports innovation,” stated Mike Speetzen, interim CEO, Polaris Inc. “With the growing interest in electrified vehicles, we are investing in electrification to meet the needs of modern customers as well as appeal to tomorrow’s Powersports riders. The all-new electronic RANGER is our latest effort aimed at leading the industry ahead in electrified powersports off road vehicles.”
As part of the Polaris rEV’d up plan, the all-new full-size electric RANGER spearheads the organisations long-term plan to stimulate its direction in powersports electrification. Design and construction efforts for the all-new electric RANGER are moving in Wyoming, Minn., with production for North American vehicles to take place at Polaris’ facility in Huntsville, Ala.
R&D shared with Zero Motorcycle
