MONTREAL, May 13, 2024 /CNW/ - Taiga Motors Corporation (TSX: TAIG) ("Taiga" or the "Company"), the leading electric off-road vehicle manufacturer, is thrilled to announce that it is expanding its footprint across Scandinavia with the delivery of additional NomadTM snowmobiles to its key customers SkiStar and Motorbutiken Kl?vsj?. In addition, Taiga is continuing its expansion in the European market with snowmobile deliveries at French and Italian ski resorts and tour operators, revolutionizing the winter recreation industry with its sustainable and high performance electric sleds. Indeed, Europe accounts for 20% of the global snowmobile market and, with EV adoption having risen tremendously since 2019, the timing was ripe for Taiga to focus on the region as it initiates its next growth phase.

SkiStar, the leading Scandinavian ski resort operator and an early adopter of Taiga's technology, is set to acquire additional electric snowmobiles for their resorts in Sweden and Norway. Cementing their commitment to sustainable practices and spearheading the ski hill industry's transition to electric power, SkiStar's goal is to achieve carbon neutrality at all their resorts by 2030. "We've tried all the electric snowmobiles out there and nothing beats Taiga's Nomad," remarked Per Gr?nas, Head of Procurement at SkiStar, emphasizing their satisfaction with Taiga's superior range, performance and reliability. "Taiga has contributed to positioning us as leaders in the electric transition in Sweden and ensuring we meet our customers' expectations by putting sustainability at the forefront of our decision making."

Taiga snowmobiles are now available to retail customers

In Sweden, Taiga is also proud to enhance its relationship with Motorbutiken Kl?vsj?, as its first local authorized retailer and service provider, marking a significant step towards making the Nomad electric snowmobile accessible to individual customers in the region.  "We're proud to be taking this next step in representing Taiga in Sweden", said Mattias H?glund, Chairman and co-owner, of Motorbutiken Kl?vsj?. "After assisting Taiga with the first major delivery of more than 40 electric snowmobiles in Sweden last February, we are delighted to be Taiga's official retailer and service provider in Sweden and to help customers fulfill their dream of owning an electric snowmobile".
