Snowmobiles of the Taiga model range were developed specifically for rescue services and can go even where there is no way to land a helicopter. In 2015, transport appeared on free sale.

Taiga snowmobile specifications

The engine power of the vehicle is 60 horsepower. This allows you to move through impassable terrain at speeds up to 80 km / h.
