Arctic Trucks

Arctic Trucks is an international company founded in Iceland and with operations in the United Kingdom, Norway, Finland, Poland, Russia and the United Arab Emirates. Arctic Trucks specialise in the re-engineering of four wheel drive vehicles to allow them to be used in challenging conditions.
They have supplied vehicles for a number of high-profile expeditions in the Arctic and Antarctic.
History.
In Iceland the difficult terrain led the locals to experiment with larger tires and low tire pressures on the snow. In the mid-1980s, practical solutions began emerging and in 1990 Toyota in Iceland (P. Samúelsson hf.) established their own re-engineering division, calling it “Toyota Aukahlutir” (Toyota Accessories). This division grew very quickly and soon 20% to 70% of all new Toyota Hilux, Land Cruiser and 4Runners were re-engineered before delivery to customers - and in 1996 this division became Arctic Trucks.
In 1999 Arctic Trucks Norway was established. In 2005 Arctic Trucks was separated from Toyota Iceland, and began working more with other brands.
Additionally, Arctic Trucks offers self-drive tours in Iceland since 2008 under the name "Arctic Trucks Experiences".
It also offers support services to explorers, broadcasters and scientific surveys in the Arctic and Antarctic regions.
Arctic Trucks Engineering.
Arctic Trucks was established in Iceland in 1990 and specialises in the re-engineering and conversion of four-wheel drive vehicles for extreme conditions.
Arctic Trucks have driven to both poles. They visited the North Magnetic Pole with BBC's "Top Gear", and in the Antarctic a fleet of four and six wheel-drive vehicles are used by scientists to support their work. Arctic Trucks vehicles also set the record for the fastest journey to the South Pole in 2010.
Vehicle Categories and Services.
Arctic Trucks offer 3 different categories of vehicle:
AT converts HiLux trucks to electric vehicles with 28 or 56 kWh battery for mining and construction.
Exploration Support, Training and Adventures.
In addition to vehicle engineering services and sales Arctic Trucks also provides logistical support, training and tourism services in the Arctic and Antarctic regions.
Expeditions.
Arctic Trucks has developed and built vehicles to take on some of the world's biggest extremes, in most cases the donor vehicle, that the expedition vehicle was built on, has been a Toyota Hilux setup for 44 inch tires "AT44". The list below has expeditions with Arctic Trucks vehicles and in most cases Arctic Trucks has also organised and with Arctic Trucks personnel.
