Polaris Industries Inc. today announced the Company has completed first production and received orders from the U.S. Department of Defense for its newest military vehicle, the MV800 4X4 ATV.

The MV800 is Polaris’ first military machine to feature the Patriot Engine™ with Electronic Direct Fuel Injection, The 760cc, 40hp spark ignition engine is powered by JP8, the U.S. military’s standard fuel.

The new engine, developed in partnership with Australian based Orbital Corporation, provides the new MV800 ATV with a patented, unique technology that allows the engine to significantly surpass traditional, diesel compression engines in this size with almost twice the horsepower.

This produces an overall vehicle performance that is the same or similar to the Company’s gasoline-powered family of Ultra-light Tactical Vehicles for the military. In addition to running on JP8, the Patriot Engine™ can operate on emergency fuels including gasoline, JP5 and highway diesel.

“The JP8 powered MV800 and its Patriot Engine™ are major steps for Polaris as we continue to strive to produce cutting-edge products that meet requirements defined by those serving to protect our country” said Mark McCormick, managing director, Polaris Defense. “Our Warfighters are operating in some of the world’s harshest conditions. We are committed to providing them with vehicles that can make their job easier and increase their mission effectiveness. The MV800 is built to do just that.”

The MV800 follows in the footsteps of the MV700, the lead model in the Polaris Defense family of gasoline-powered tactical vehicles.

Polaris Defense has been successfully providing a family of vehicles to the U.S. Armed Forces since 2001. Established to provide vehicles, spare parts and training to the military, Polaris Defense is dedicated to supporting its customers with a total capability for the demanding needs they have in all environments worldwide.

GGB Exhaust Technologies has introduced a line of replacement mufflers for Sport-Utility ATVs and UTVs. Sport-Utility quads and UTVs are being used by millions of people throughout the United States and Canada.

The mufflers on many of these vehicles have decayed over time. This makes the exhaust system louder and can also rob the engine of horsepower. GGB offers stylish, rock-solid replacement silencers that have Quiet Ride Technology (QRT).

QRT is the result of more than 15 years of GGB experience in designing exhaust systems. Unlike many other replacement muffler brands, GGB’s mufflers with Quiet Ride Technology will meet or exceed the stock silencer performance as well as state and federal silencer regulations.

GGB’s mufflers fit most of the major ATV and three-wheeler models that have been produced since the early 1980s. GGB mufflers have a classic matte black finish, and they are zero-maintenance because their proprietary internal tube design requires no packing material.

The mufflers carry a no-questions-asked three-year warranty and every product is backed by great customer service. If you are interested in becoming a distributor for GGB, call Graham Barkey directly at (705) 384-2800.

Ask for GGB Exhausts at your local ATV dealer, or order direct by using their on-line store at Visit www.ggb.ca.
