Polaris will represent its developing commercial division with ranges of UTVs and electric vehicles at SALTEX.

The Polaris Brutus is the world's first UTV with front-end power take off; the side by side Brutus is designed to drive accessories to lift, sweep, mow, blow, scoop and plough, with hydraulic controlled attachments and hydrostatic drive. The Polaris Ranger EV, launched as the first true 4x4 electric vehicle, offers full off-road capability with the ecological benefits of silent running and non-polluting electric power.

Complementing the EV and being launched at the show will be the new Polaris GEM eM1400 light utility vehicle. It is the first GEM model to be completely designed and engineered by Polaris and is built to be a customisable work vehicle. The eM1400 leads the off-road light utility vehicle category with a 1,400 lb/635 kgs payload capacity and a rear cargo-carrying capacity of 1,100 lb/498 kgs.

With zero-emissions, the vehicle is an ideal fit for facilities and grounds maintenance, indoor warehousing, lawn and landscape, farm utility, hospitality and property upkeep.

GEM eM1400's powerful 7.0 HP AC motor, independent rear suspension and front IFS MacPherson Strut ensure the safe and efficient transport of people and cargo, even when towing up to 1,250 lb/566 kgs. Featuring a top speed of 19 mph, the eM1400 can be driven both indoors and outdoors and has a range of up to 45 miles per charge depending on temperature, gradients, payload and driving style. Available options and accessories make it easy for customers to configure the eM1400 for specific applications. Factory installed options include removable bed sides and a fully enclosed max box. The GEM eM1400 also supports Polaris' innovative Lock & Ride and Lock & Work accessories.
