In Krasnoyarsk, a snow and swamp crawler 'Varyag' was assembled, designed for the transport of people and goods in extreme conditions. According to the regional media 'NGS24.RU', it can carry up to 14 people, withstands up to -60 degrees Celsius and was developed from scratch by Krasnoyarsk constructors.

The snow and swamp crawler travels at speeds up to 70 kilometers per hour on diesel fuel, has two tanks of 140 litres each. This has been confirmed: on 280 liters of diesel fuel, it can travel 1700 kilometers without refuelling. The engine is currently installed in the basic configuration of Cummins 3.8, but there is an opportunity to put on it both D-245 and a gasoline engine.

'Varyag' has three-axle and two-axle modifications, differing in the volume of goods and people transported. Developers hope that the machines will find their demand in the North in the public sector and private companies. One 'Varyag' costs on average from 6.8 million rubles. Additional equipment at the customer's request is possible. But it can make the all-terrain vehicle more expensive.

Snow and swamp crawlers and transport for the Far North seem to be a promising direction for the Russian car industry.

So, in 2024, the 'Ural', SUSU and BMSTU named after E. Bauman release the first Arctic bus into serial production, capable of withstanding low temperatures.

In the next ten years, both KamAZ and other manufacturers are betting on snow and swamp crawlers. Meanwhile, unmanned snow and swamp crawlers are already being developed, for example, 'Kaluzhanin'.
