A Carbon Footprint Shrunk

Frontier North operates 12 Tundra Buggies in total. The goal, Burtnick said, is to transition them to an all-electric fleet.

“We learned a lot from this first one,” she said. “This first one took us quite a long time. The second one should be a lot easier, like drag and drop.”

Transitioning the whole fleet to electric will save an estimated 3,600 tons of carbon emissions over 25 years. For a small tour operator, that’s no small feat.
