Prinoth: Sustainable Preparation With The Husky Emotion

In 2022, PRINOTH launched the world's first electric snow groomer. It is emission-free and can help ski resorts reduce their ecological footprint.

The HUSKY eMOTION has been on the market for less than a year, but is already grooming slopes and trails in Norway, Sweden, France and Italy. The first buyer was the city of Oslo, where all vehicles and machines are to be emission-free by 2025. At the beginning of the year, the HUSKY eMOTION was put into operation at Holmenkollen and has since been in daily use, supporting the preparation of the World Cup trails. "The HUSKY eMOTION is ideal for use at Holmenkollen," says Håvard Ellingsen, department manager at Oslobygg, the municipal company responsible for operating the national ski arena.

The HUSKY eMOTION is emission-free - and even more powerful than the diesel model. The electric motor delivers 245 hp and an instant torque of 1,000 Nm. This benefits the vehicle's thrust performance in particular. In addition, the electric motor requires less maintenance - saving service costs and increasing the time the snow groomer is available. With a runtime of up to three hours, most cross-country trails and smaller slopes are groomed before the 208 kWh battery needs to be recharged. In addition, the HUSKY eMOTION is quieter than any other groomer. All of this makes it perfect for cross-country trails, smaller runs, indoor ski slopes, or slopes close to town.
