The full-size electric UTV designed for
jobsite and heavy-duty applications
MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 13,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Give the workday 100 percent
with zero emissions, zero fuel costs and zero compromises. The
all-new, all-electric Pro XD Full-Size Kinetic utility vehicle
(UTV) from Polaris Commercial, a division of Polaris (NYSE:PII), is
engineered from the inside out to withstand tough jobsite duty
cycles and enable all-day operation with zero exhaust – taking
operational efficiency and sustainability to the next level. The
Pro XD Kinetic further expands the industry-leading line-up of
commercial work UTVs that boast durability, serviceability and
safety features while increasing the environments and areas these
all-electric UTVs can operate.
Polaris has been a leader in the electric UTV space with the
class-leading and award-winning RANGER XP Kinetic. The all-electric
RANGER has been called game changing and the gold standard for
battery EV UTVs. Polaris Commercial has leveraged that
industry-leading innovation for its Commercial customers with the
introduction of the Pro XD Kinetic, rounding out the Pro XD family
that also includes gas and diesel, full-size and mid-size, standard
and crew models.
"Going all-electric with the professional-grade Pro XD UTV
empowers customers to meet sustainability obligations without
sacrificing capabilities," said Aaron
Stegemann, vice president, Polaris Commercial. "In
everything we do, Polaris Commercial is committed to providing the
greatest value for our customers. That means genuinely listening to
their pain points, understanding the use-cases and applications for
our work UTVs and solving unmet demands where we can. With the
introduction of the Pro XD Kinetic, we're keeping the features our
customers love and rely on from the Pro XD family – superior
durability, serviceability and safety features – while addressing
the ever-growing environmental, operational and government
requirements for EVs.
The Pro XD Kinetic utilizes purpose-built features that rental,
construction and other industrial customers value from Polaris
Commercial and delivers them in a sustainable, reliable and
high-performing work UTV. Featuring an all-electric powertrain
through Polaris' exclusive 10-year partnership with Zero
Motorcycles®, the powerful Pro XD Kinetic offers the same 1,250 lbs
cargo and 2,500 lbs towing capacity as a full-size gas or diesel
Pro XD UTV, while its all-electric powertrain delivers
instantaneous torque and precise handling. An electric powertrain
also requires less maintenance, which means more vehicle uptime,
while its quieter operations enable access to restricted areas
where heavy-duty gas and diesel UTVs were previously excluded.
Minimal Maintenance
Downtime destroys
productivity resulting in costly delays – with minimal maintenance
requirements, the Pro XD Kinetic optimizes operations
and increases customer ROI. Scheduled maintenance
costs are roughly 60 percent less than average maintenance costs
for similar gas-powered vehicles like the full-size MY24 Pro
XD* meaning fewer replacements and less waste. The
all-electric powertrain makes oil changes, filter replacements,
spark plugs and clutch maintenance a thing of the past. The
Lithium-Ion battery in the Pro XD is designed to last
the vehicle's lifetime and is backed by a five-year warranty from
Polaris Commercial – providing more time to focus on getting the
job done.
Standard Safety Features
Safety is a founding
pillar of the Pro XD, and the Pro XD Kinetic is engineered with the
same features to meet and exceed jobsite compliance, improve worker
safety and provide peace of mind for crews and fleet managers.
Orange seatbelts, vehicle decals, and optional lighting accessories
improve visibility of the vehicle and surrounding workers, while a
standard horn and backup alarm provide audible alerts for the
operator and surrounding crew. Furthermore, the top speed of the
Pro XD Kinetic can be calibrated between 5-40 mph, with many
customers selecting a top speed of 25 mph for jobsite compliance.
The electric drivetrain also provides reduced sound levels that
improve the operator's situational awareness, allow easier
communications between crew members and enables quiet-zone
usage.
Dependability Customers Value
The Pro XD
Kinetic delivers jobsite must-haves in a
work-ready platform and an all-new electric powertrain. Heavy-duty
boots, bearings and bushings,
Kevlar®-backed seats, thick 8-ply tires and a
rust- and dent-free poly bed ensure the electric model
is built to last from the headlights to the tailgate – just like
its gas and diesel counterparts. A rugged, long-lasting 14.9 kWh
Lithium-Ion (Li-ion) battery and a powerful electric motor make the
Pro XD Kinetic as tough on the inside as it is on the
outside. And 140lb-ft of instant torque provide the power operators
need to effortlessly tow up to 2,500 lbs and haul up to 1,250 lbs.
Additionally, a range of up to 45-miles** ensures crews can go the
distance, all day, every day while providing an estimated five-year
savings of $2,800 in fuel savings
alone compared to the MY24 gas Pro XD.
No Infrastructure Needed
The Pro XD Kinetic from
Polaris Commercial is equipped with convenient charging options
designed to fit any electrification infrastructure, or lack
thereof. The vehicle's battery can be charged by a standard wall
outlet or even a similarly powered generator for remote jobsites or
until power is established. This ability to charge using 110V power
means no new infrastructure is required, however, the Pro XD
Kinetic is also compatible with 220V to enable fast charging
options.
The complete Pro XD lineup also provides unmatched versatility
and customizability with accessories that enhance productivity in
all climates, while also supporting jobsite compliance and safety
requirements. The expansive accessories catalog is available
to view on the Polaris Commercial website, where customers can also
experience the vehicle virtually. Additional information and tools

Pro XD models and accessories, view each in 3D and request a
