Polaris has introduced a low-emission, electric-powered Neighborhood Vehicle – the Polaris Breeze – which is the first new product to be launched by the recently announced On-Road Vehicle Division.
This unique, low-emission vehicle combines industry leading functionality with the fun and freedom that consumers have come to expect from Polaris. It represents the company’s initial product entry into the electric vehicle market.
The versatile Polaris Breeze is designed for varied consumer uses such as golfing, comfortably transporting up to four passengers or easily carrying light cargo loads. The vehicle is intended for consumers living in master planned communities. It will be available in limited quantities for test rides and purchase at Polaris Neighborhood Vehicle dealerships in select markets starting in September 2009.
“Innovation has always been a driving force behind the success of Polaris, and our new low-emission Polaris Breeze is a perfect example of that ongoing tradition,” said Polaris CEO Scott Wine. “Our ability to leverage Polaris’ rich history of designing and manufacturing industry leading products, combined with the creativity of our designers and engineers, is a hallmark of our company and a major component for our success. This vehicle is the latest innovation from Polaris and the first of what we expect will be a series of successful ventures into the on-road vehicle category over the coming years.”
With its entirely electric operating system, the Polaris Breeze is a fuel-saving alternative to automobiles for consumers making numerous short trips within their master planned communities.
“Polaris is constantly looking for new opportunities to deliver consumers innovative vehicles that make transportation easier, less expensive and more fun,” said Mike Jonikas, Vice President of the Polaris On-Road Vehicle Division. “Developing the Polaris Breeze accomplishes all three of these objectives, and is the first step in an exciting new market opportunity for Polaris.”
Additional details will be available soon at the Neighborhood Vehicles page of the Polaris website.
