Work purchased a new UTV, I'm in love

Cool!

I'm from the arctic (Cambridge Bay) and I've been reading up on Arctic vehicles or at least vehicles that could useful up here.

UTV's are definitely cool, but there's also tracks for heavier vehicles too from an oilfield company out of Alberta. Company is Right track systems. There's also Mattracks/Camso tracks on Suzuki Carry's, or what I think would be useful something like the small diesel snowmobile that the Russians developed.

However, lately with EV's experiencing a technology period of enlightenment I'm wondering if the LeTourneau land train shouldn't be revisited. Electric hub motors powered by batteries powered by renewable wind and solar for transport of TEU's over snow/tundra.
