我国新一代“雪豹”车成功完成南极内陆测试任务

Core Insights - The new domestically developed "Snow Leopard" 6×6 wheeled vehicle has successfully completed over 10,000 kilometers of testing in Antarctica, filling a technological gap in China's polar inland wheeled vehicles [1] Group 1: Vehicle Performance - During a 75-day mission, the all-terrain six-wheel drive vehicle tested its performance across five types of terrain: sea ice, gravel, soft snow, hard snow, and solid ice, focusing on key indicators such as mobility, stability, and safety [3] - The average speed on soft snow was recorded at 28 kilometers per hour, while on hard snow it reached 42 kilometers per hour, and on solid ice, it achieved a maximum stable speed of 65 kilometers per hour [3] - In contrast, commonly used tracked vehicles in polar exploration have an average speed of no more than 20 kilometers per hour on soft and hard snow [3] Group 2: Operational Capabilities - The "Snow Leopard" 6×6 wheeled vehicle successfully completed four types of tasks during the Antarctic mission: rapid transportation within stations, quick travel between stations, rapid maneuvering for tasks, and swift rescue support [3] - This achievement signifies a transition for China from a "heavy load, slow movement" inland exploration model based on tracked vehicles to a new phase of high mobility, high efficiency, and high load exploration that leverages the advantages of both wheeled and tracked vehicles [3]
