BEIJING, February 10 (Xinhua) — China's self-developed six-wheeled vehicle, dubbed "Xuebao" (or "Snow Leopard"), recently completed tests in Antarctica's extreme conditions, traveling over 10,000 kilometers without a hitch. The team of China's 42nd Antarctic Expedition announced this on Tuesday.
From December 5 last year to early February this year, the red vehicle conducted a series of tests at China's Zhongshan Station and on five typical landscapes in the Antarctic interior, including sea ice, gravel, soft and hard snow, and hard ice.
According to the expedition team, the success of the vehicle's testing has helped fill gaps in equipment for rapid ground transportation of personnel, support for scientific research, and emergency rescue in Antarctica. -0-
