Frontiers North Adventures will be given $149,000 to convert the buggy to electric power from diesel.
On Tuesday, the Manitoba government announced it would give eight groups a total of $600,000 in new grants under the conservation and climate fund. This first EV Tundra Buggy will help to reduce our carbon footprint while relying on 100 per cent renewable energy generated right here in Manitoba. I can’t wait to deliver guests a silent touring experience among Manitoba’s wild polar bears and under our amazing northern lights, said John Gunter, president and CEO of Frontiers North Adventures, which owns and operates Tundra Buggy vehicles for polar bear tours.
