SIBIR is a utilitarian quad-swamp rover designed to operate in conditions where conventional wheeled vehicles lose their maneuverability.
The concept is based on the use of large-diameter ultra-low pressure tires, which provide minimal ground pressure and allow you to confidently move through swampy terrain, deep snow and waterlogged soils. Due to the high buoyancy of the wheels, the machine is able to overcome small water obstacles without the use of additional equipment.
The design is focused not on sports operation, but on daily work in expeditions, hunting farms, geological exploration, forestry and maintenance of remote facilities.
Wednesday
The project is intended for use in areas with no road network, including swamps, tundra, virgin snow, sandy areas and floodplains.
The machine is designed for long routes, where reliability, load capacity and the ability to transport equipment are more important than high speed.
Engineering study
The architecture of the machine is built around ultra-low pressure tires, which determine both the cross-country ability and the overall layout of the product. The large diameter of the wheels ensures high ground clearance, reduces ground pressure and increases buoyancy when overcoming wetlands and shallow waters.
The driver's seat is as close as possible to the center of the car, which helps reduce the center of gravity and improves stability when driving on difficult terrain.
Full-size cargo platforms are provided on both axles, and a roomy sealed luggage module for transporting equipment and gear is located in the rear. Tubular protective elements simultaneously perform the functions of a power frame, body protection, and additional cargo attachment.
The design provides for the installation of additional lighting, navigation equipment and expedition equipment without changing the basic architecture of the machine.
Project result
The concept of an expeditionary quad-swamp rover has been developed, focused on operation in areas with extremely low soil bearing capacity. The project demonstrates an approach to the creation of utilitarian off—road vehicles, where the design, layout and equipment are subordinated to one task - reliable operation away from roads and service infrastructure.
