The "Rusak K-10" with a hydrogen refueling station was developed at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (MIPT) together with the companies "All-Terrain Vehicles for the North", "Kubo" and "Hydrodgen Energy". The project for the development of the Arctic was first shown at INNOPROM.
The "Rusak K-10" is an impressive five-axle all-terrain vehicle with dimensions of 12 x 2.9 x 3.6 meters and a weight of 12.5 tons. Its low-pressure tires ensure minimal impact on the soil cover, which is important for working with the fragile nature of the Arctic.
This machine can become a mobile base for working in the North — according to developers from MIPT, it is capable of:
- carrying up to 8 passengers;
- transporting cargo up to 2.5 tons;
- reaching speeds of up to 60 km/h;
- covering up to 400–500 km without refueling while driving on a winter road at cruising speed;
- crossing water obstacles.
The "heart" of the "Rusak K-10" is a hybrid power plant. It runs on a hydrogen fuel cell. The system powers a group of traction lithium-ion batteries with a capacity of more than 120 kWh, which provide power to 180 kW synchronous electric motors with permanent magnets. The refueling complex is capable of refueling the all-terrain vehicle's hydrogen systems with a pressure of up to 700 bar, ensuring a high level of safety and energy efficiency.
The experimental model of the all-terrain vehicle, which was shown at the Yekaterinburg exhibition, is awaiting running tests. In particular, the "Rusak K-10" will be tested in Yamal.
