1. The mission of the project
GRIZLY is being created as a universal off-road platform for use where there are no roads.
The main task of the machine is to ensure reliable transportation of people, equipment and goods in the most difficult natural conditions without the need for complex special equipment.
The project is operation-oriented:
- taiga;
- northern regions of Russia;
- tundra;
- logging areas;
- mountainous area;
- wetlands;
- virgin snow;
- river floodplains;
- emergency areas;
- oil and gas fields;
- geological exploration;
- energy industry;
- construction of infrastructure;
- rescue operations.
GRIZLY should work equally effectively in winter at -50 °C and in summer at +50°C.
2. The idea of the GRIZLY project
A force of nature. The power of engineering.
The grizzly bear is a symbol of absolute strength, endurance and the ability to overcome any obstacles.
These qualities formed the basis of the project's philosophy.
GRIZLY is a technique that does not fight against nature.
She becomes a part of it.
The basic principles of the brand:
- Maximum reliability
- Easy maintenance
- Real passability
- Functionality without unnecessary details
- Modern industrial design
- Maximum maintainability
- Long service life
The car's design reflects the character of a true predator.
Calm.
Powerful.
Sure.
Without aggression for the sake of aggression.
3. General concept and design
GRIZLY is designed according to the principles of RenderWorks Industrial Design.
There are no decorative elements in the structure that do not fulfill a functional task.
Main design features
- powerful vertical front ("grizzly face");
- wide fit;
- large entry angles;
- short overhangs;
- large ultra-low pressure tires;
- high body line;
- strict geometry of surfaces;
- minimum number of stamped parts;
- simple flat panels;
- a single design language for the entire family.
All exterior panels are designed in such a way as to maximize the use of:
- laser cutting;
- sheet bending presses;
- welded spatial structures.
This significantly reduces the cost of production and repairs.
4. Engineering solutions
The GRIZLY project is built around a universal carrier platform.
Basic engineering solutions:
Spatial frame
High-strength welded construction with the possibility of installing various modules.
Modular body
The body is installed as a single replaceable module.
Quick replacement is possible:
- passenger;
- cargo;
- residential;
- medical;
- command;
- workshop;
- laboratories.
All-wheel drive 6×6
Permanent all-wheel drive.
Locking of all differentials.
High safety margin of the transmission.
Ultra-low pressure tires
Provide:
- minimum ground pressure;
- driving in the snow;
- movement through the swamps;
- movement on the sand;
- overcoming a deadfall.
Independence of systems
All the main units are located as easily as possible.
Any repairs can be carried out in the field.
Production adaptability
All panels have a minimum number of complex radii.
Most parts can be manufactured:
- laser cutting;
- flexible;
- welding.
5. Key advantages over existing machines
Compared to traditional all-terrain vehicles
- more modern architecture;
- lower production cost;
- simple construction;
- high level of unification.
Compared to imported expedition vehicles
- significantly better maintainability;
- adaptation to Russian conditions;
- the possibility of operating away from service centers;
- high localization of production.
Compared to classic cargo platforms
- significantly higher throughput;
- less specific pressure on the ground;
- better maneuverability;
- modular architecture.
The main advantage of GRIZLY —
not the maximum speed, but the ability to move confidently where the roads end.

8. Project Results
GRIZLY is not just another off—road vehicle.
It is a new generation engineering platform designed specifically for use in extreme natural conditions in Russia and other regions with no road infrastructure.
The project combines three key qualities of modern technology:
- maximum passability;
- simplicity of industrial production;
- modern industrial design.
The philosophy of GRIZLY is built around the idea of absolute reliability. Each design element is subordinated to a practical task, and each body line reflects the character of the car — calm strength, stability and confidence.
Thanks to its modular architecture, the platform will form the basis of a whole family of specialized machines, from expedition and rescue complexes to mobile workshops, medical modules and Arctic laboratories.
GRIZLY is a modern Russian all—terrain vehicle designed for places where roads end and real work begins.
