A small team from Hunt Forest Group, an Isuzu dealership, is preparing to embark on an Icelandic expedition.
Throughout the course of the expedition, the team will be visiting Iceland’s iconic natural landmarks such as waterfalls, geysers, glaciers and beaches, in order to put the AT35 through vigorous outdoor testing in Arctic Trucks’ ancestral homeland.
Leading the trip will be Gareth Thomas, Hunt Forest Group’s Isuzu and Arctic Trucks sales manager, who will set off in the demonstrator vehicle on Thursday the 16th of March, arriving in Iceland on Tuesday the 21st of March.
The trip will cover over 5,000 miles and 10 countries, with the team travelling from England to Calais, then to the top of Denmark where they will sail to Iceland, before returning to England on Monday 3rd April.
The purpose of the trip is to understand, test, and evaluate the Isuzu D-Max Arctic Trucks AT35 model, with the team even taking a visit to the Arctic Trucks workshop to further comprehend the process behind creating an AT35 model.
Graham Joll, regional sales manager of Isuzu UK, said: “The immense effort and preparation made by Hunt Forest Group for this expedition really proves their commitment to the brand, making them stand out amongst Isuzu Arctic Trucks dealers. Following this journey, it will be great to see the AT35 tackling the exact landscapes it was built for, and following their journey across their various social media channels.”
Gareth Thomas, Isuzu and Arctic Trucks sales manager at Hunt Forest Group, added: “It’s going to be an epic road and a real chance for us to showcase the AT35 in its natural environment. The AT35 is designed to be comfortable and extremely capable both on & off-road so the journey is the ideal route to explore both. It’s taken months of careful planning to get the project off the ground and it’s exciting to be about start the journey! I hope it inspires customers and future owners to get out there and enjoy their own adventures.”
