Toyota Hilux

The Toyota Hilux has been used in very hard conditons for over 40 years. It is used and abused almost all around the
world. In Iceland it has gained reputaton as the everlastng car. The choice for reliability and the vehicle to get the job
done.
Arctc Trucks ofers modifcatons to upgrade the Hilux and make it ready for use in Antarctca, from various tasks
around the coastal ares to trans Antarctc expedtons. All with the simplicity and reliability of the old Hilux.

AT38 Conversion
With the AT38 modifcaton the Hilux is ready to tackle most snow and ice conditons in Antarctca. The tre pressure
can be adjusted to changing conditons, from sof snow to hard ice. Ice screws give the vehicle great tracton on blue
ice and the sofness of the tres smoothens out uneven terrain providing a comfortable ride. While the capabilites have
been improved the service and running cost is stll similar to a standard Hilux.
The Hilux AT38 is a great vehicle for most coastal areas in Antarctca and is considerably less expensive than the Hilux
AT44. Based on our experience, expected fuel consupton is 0.15-0.3 litres pr. kilometer in coastal areas.
Toyota Hilux AT38 was used to drive to the Magnetc North Pole with the Britsh TV show Top Gear in 2007 where it
carried the flm crew 1400 kilometers, over sea ice, bolder felds and number of small islands. Toyota Hilux AT38 will be
statoned at SANEA, the South African research staton in Antarctca from 2011.

Toyota Hilux
Toyota Hilux AT44
AT44 Conversion
The AT44 modifcaton was initally designed for support vehicles for long distance expedtons in Antarctca.

The large tres with low air pressure provide large footprint giving good fotaton in sof snow and sof ride over the
sastrugies. The vehicle is set up to carry up to 1.3 tons, plus 1.5 tons on the optonal trailer. Fuel capacity (280L in tanks
and up to 800L on deck), gives the AT44 Hilux a very long range even on the high plateau.
These vehicles are fted with safety equipment for crevasses and optonal radar can be fted to search for safe routes.
Using the side steps and the winch, a crane can quickly be assembled to work with fuel barrels or other things that
need lifing.
Based on our experience, the average fuel consumpton on the high plateau is 0.5 to 0.7 litres pr. kilometer using Jet
1A fuel. The fuel consumpton is greatly afected by the conditons and the load, but in areas closer to the coast the
fuel consumpton is considerable lower than mentoned above.
Four vehicles, all with the optonal trailer, drove almost 5000 kilometers from Novo airbase to the South Pole and back
during the period of December 2008 to February 2009. The cars acted as support vehicles carrying flm crews and
doctors in the Amundsen Omega 3 Pole Race, as well as carrying heavy loads. In November 2009 these vehicles/trailers
drove from Novo to 83 degrees, 1500 kilometers each way.
During November and December 2010 Toyota Hilux AT44 will make three more trips from Novo to the South Pole.

AT44 6X6 Conversion
Building on a proven 6X6 Hilux with 33 inch tres, Arctc Trucks is now adding a 6x6 Hilux with 44 inch tres (AT44 6x6) to
the product range. The benefts of the 6x6 version over the 4x4 are higher load capacity and improved towing ability.
The large deck can be fted with various modules for carrying people, equipment, sleeping arrangement etc. The
large deck, as well as extra large fuel tanks, will double or more the driving range. With more tracton the 6x6 will have
greater pulling capacity in difcult conditons. The new drive line of the 6x6 has been designed to keep the exceptonal
reliability already known.
The AT 44 6x6 will make its maiden trip in Antarctca in December 2010 end January 2011, driving from Novo to the
South Pole and back, supportng a German/Austrian ski race.

Arctic Trucks Trailers
The trailer can be built in various versions depending on use. The design goals are reliability and compatbility to the
towing car. Many of the parts, such as wheel bearings, are the same as in the towing car. Parts from the trailer can
therefore be used as spare parts in case of emergency. The dimensions, length, width and weight can be adjusted to
ft the requirements of the customer and the towing car.
Total load can be up to 1500 kg in normal confguraton and more if needed. The weight of the trailer plays important
role in of-road ability and should be designed at the same tme as the modifcatons of the towing vehicle.
Designed to ft each towing vehicle,
Track width same as on the towing vehicle
Load bearing parts (suspension and axle) same as the parts in the towing vehicle
Designed to prevent overload on the towing vehicle
The connecton between trailer and towing vehicle is very fexible to improve of-road ability.
