leader in powersports and off-road innovation,
to include more all-electric utility vehicles.
These RANGER XP Kinetic vehicles help make
job sites cleaner, more environmentally
friendly and quieter - helping customers
meet sustainability initiatives and reduce
maintenance requirements.
" There used to be a concern around
electric vehicles that they were less capable
than their combustion engine counterparts
- and that's just not the case anymore, " said
TJ Mahoney, vice president, supply chain,
United Rentals. Electric vehicles provide a lot
of benefits on the job site and it's important
that United Rentals' customers have access to
them, without sacrificing the task at hand. "
The all-new RANGER XP Kinetic offers
uncompromised capability to help customers
get more done and features the most
horsepower and torque ever found in a
utility side-by-side. A class-leading
110-horsepower and 140 foot/pounds of
instant torque deliver maximum capability
for confidently hauling and towing heavy
loads, even over the toughest terrain.
Together, the unmatched power and
torque deliver the power operators need,
when they need it, for the ability to
effortlessly tow 2,500 pounds and haul an
industry-best 1,250 pounds.
RANGER XP Kinetic also features a
class-leading 14-inch ground clearance
to confidently rise over obstacles, and is
equipped with 29-inch, 8-ply Pro Armor
X-Terrain tires for added traction and durability
to crawl over job site debris and ruts. And
with 10 inches of suspension travel, XP Kinetic
smooths out the bumps so customers can
ride comfortably in challenging terrain -
no matter where the job takes them.
It also delivers unrivaled durability, so
riders can maximize their uptime and improve
productivity. An electric powertrain features
fewer moving parts than gas-powered
models, meaning less maintenance and more
time to focus on getting the job done.
Scheduled maintenance costs are expected
to be 70-percent less than average maintenance
costs for similar gas-powered vehicles.
Smart performance features help maximize
productivity. Convenient charging options
are designed to fit specific customer needs
and are as easy as plugging into a standard
wall outlet. A 12-volt cargo box outlet is
convenient for powering accessories like
tools, electronics and communication devices
or charging portable batteries.
A new shifter design includes high,
low, neutral and park, and features a new,
integrated switch for forward and reverse,
enabling customers to change direction
with the flip of a switch. This makes tasks
like plowing fast and efficient.
In addition to high and low gear, RANGER
XP Kinetic also has three drive modes for
maximum versatility optimized to driving
conditions and range management:
* Eco+ optimizes torque and top speed for
maximum range and light-duty jobs
* Standard optimizes throttle response for
everyday driving and moderate-sized jobs
* Sport optimizes throttle response for spirited
driving and the toughest jobs
