The X-Trail e-4ORCE has been extensively modified for its new role. The standard wheels are replaced with snow tracks that offer confident traction on slippery pistes. The interior sees the rear seats removed, making space for a stretcher and a seat for a medical professional.
Nissan X-Trail Mountain Rescue:
On the exterior, several alterations cater to its new function: it sports a bespoke roof rack, accommodating an evacuation stretcher and snow shovels; it includes a siren and flashing light bar; and powerful lights are mounted on the roof and hood for superior visibility. Wider fenders cover front and rear, while the front bumper has been enhanced to carry a winch. Reinforced towing hooks are present at both ends of the vehicle, and footboards have been added to facilitate access.
In addition to these modifications, this mountain rescue version of the X-Trail is 23 cm higher compared to its road-going counterpart, allowing for increased clearance.
Nissan X-Trail Mountain Rescue:
What sets this vehicle apart is Nissan's electrified twin-motor e-4ORCE all-wheel drive system. This system can react and adjust grip at each wheel in 1/10,000th of a second—1000 times quicker than traditional all-wheel drive systems.
Nissan has also launched a "Ride Responsibly" campaign at five European ski resorts. This includes digital signs placed on ski slopes that monitor rider speeds. If riders approach at considerate speeds, they are thanked. If they are moving too fast, they're prompted to slow down—aiming to encourage courteous slope etiquette and reduce collision risk.
As part of this campaign's promotion, an X-Trail Mountain Rescue is displayed in a glass box at the Italian ski resort of Cervinia to showcase Nissan's commitment to both innovation in rescue services and slope safety awareness.
