Industrial designer Oliver Bell understands the growing desire for experiences to improve the environment, and what better way to do so than in a futuristic laboratory on wheels. Introducing the Land Rover Antarctic Research Concept (ARC), which combines modern and sustainable technologies with a template for a cleaner future. This vehicle would be parked at Land Rover’s Global Research Base, or hubs located in and around Antarctica.
The fully sustainable base would run entirely on solar and wind energy, while the ARC can be used as an additional power source. When inside the ARC, you’ll discover that it has a luxurious, yet minimalist, design, with the main focus being research and discovery. It boasts two room modules, a living / dining area, research laboratory, and a large storage bay to store smaller land vehicles.
- Eye-catching black design, compact at 28 lbs, 220 lbs max load. Age: 16-50. Height: 3.11-6.6".
- High-performance battery: Dual 400W motors, 10 mph max speed, 13.7 miles per charge, 15° slope.
- Illuminating LED lights for visibility.
By joining a group of researchers and acting as volunteers supporting the group on environmental missions as well as excursions, living and cooperating on the vehicle over a week to two week duration,” said Oliver.
