MONTREAL, Nov. 7, 2023
/PRNewswire/ - Taiga Motors Corporation (TSX:
TAIG) ("Taiga" or the "Company"), an innovative Canadian
company transforming the powersports landscape, has reached a
significant achievement with the production of its
1,000th electric vehicle (EV). This milestone was
celebrated with the completion of an OrcaTM Performance,
a cutting-edge, fully electric personal watercraft that's making a
big splash in the industry.
Raising the bar for EVs
The 1,000th vehicle built since the opening of the
Montreal production facility in
2022 is testament to Taiga's unwavering commitment to accelerating
the electrification of the off-road industry. Taiga's CEO and
co-founder Sam Bruneau is thrilled
with this manufacturing triumph, saying, "There is nothing easy
about producing world-first electric vehicles at scale. I am very
proud of our team's perseverance to push through short term pain in
building the foundational production system for meaningful
long-term gains in leading the off-road EV transition."
Orca Performance: a crowning
achievement
Taiga Motor's passion for sustainable technology is evident in
the recently launched Orca Performance, a fully electric personal
watercraft that boasts industry-leading performance, silent
operation and zero emissions. Orca Performance has been
purpose-built to provide a thrilling on-water experience while
being eco-friendly. With an electric motor that delivers instant
torque and acceleration, Orca Performance is highly responsive and
fun to ride. The watercraft is powered by a sealed lithium-ion
battery that's been optimized to deliver maximum power across its
lifetime under high vibration and saltwater environments, providing
up to two hours of riding.
Orca performance is a crowning achievement for Taiga,
demonstrating what can be realized by pushing the boundaries of
innovation. The Company's success in producing its
1,000th unit is a significant milestone that will pave
the way for the future of off-road EVs.
NomadTM: a versatile
sport-utility snowmobile
Taiga has begun switching its manufacturing to its Nomad
vehicle, the world's first mass-produced 100% electric
snowmobile that utilize the same modular powertrain as Taiga's
watercraft. Nomad is changing the game for commercial operations
and ski resorts with its lower cost, quiet and emission-free
operation. Just like Orca Performance, the Nomad platform has been
optimized for more efficient manufacturability without compromise
on high performance.
Technology at the heart of every
Taiga vehicle
Last week, Taiga launched its new Cloud Connected Mobile
App bringing a rich set of new features to
NomadTM snowmobile and
OrcaTM Personal Watercraft owners, enhancing
their ownership experience whether for work or recreational usage.
With industry-first real-time vehicle localization, mode preference
