Chasing a 100 year-old dream
Hyundai's vision is that people can go anywhere,
at anytime by automobile. We found the answer to our

Portal Gear

installed on the vehicle by rebuilding and reengineering the suspension, suspension links, mounts, and axle shafts. As a result, we lowered the gearing ratio to 1.5:1 to achieve the best performance in the soft snow environment in Antarctica.
Tire

Key factor is floatation on snow, AT38 tires, used with tire pressure as low as 0.14 bars, were mounted to the vehicle. The body and fenders were altered and trimmed to accompany the larger diameter of the tires with minimized lift. The tires were designed for the best performance in snow and ice road conditions.
Fuel Tank

The standard fuel tank has been replaced with a 230-liter aluminum fuel tank filled with JET1A for the expedition. The hefty size supports the operation as it minimizes the refueling stops during the expedition.
