A Valtra “T” series tractor with 235 horsepower was delivered in the “Active” version to the research station of the Norwegian Polar Institute in Troll, in Antarctica, at the South Pole. Equipped with a crusher to handle excavation work on ice and soil around the research station, it was chosen for its cold adaptability and ease of use that characterizes all Valtras.
Customized with specific accessories by the Valtra Unlimited division, the tractor is also monitored in real time by the Norwegian dealership responsible for the machine via the “Valtra Connect” system, the brand’s telemetry solution.
It should be noted that Valtra has a long history in the field of services and assistance for operations carried out at the South Pole, an area in which in 1988 a Valmet “505” tractor entered service at the Finnish Antarctic research station Aboa and remained active for over 30 years. years in complete isolation in the geographic area of Queen Maud Land.
