Genesis GV60 sprouts tracks to help mountain rescuers

The Korean premium car brand has attended the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland with a rather peculiar GV60. Dubbed the MIV (Mountain Intervention Vehicle), it was introduced as a specialized vehicle for rescue operations at ski resorts. Mass production won’t be a thing, but those who need one may commission a similar build.

The SUV rides on tracks partly concealed under carbon-fiber fender flares, an essential modification if you need to traverse snow slopes quickly and reliably. It also features additional equipment like an expedition rack, towing eyes and a tailgate rack for carrying rescue and medical gear.

Inside, the front seats are bucket-shaped now, while the rear end is designed as a mobile emergency room for rendering first aid to any unfortunate skiers.

During the presentation, Genesis claimed that the all-electric powertrain of the GV60 meant it would only leave a minimal impact on the nature of the mountain resorts. The traction battery on board doubles as a mobile power source for any external appliances or equipment.
