Case Study: Taiga Motors creates connected electric powersports vehicles with Digi International

Taiga Motors launches electric power sports vehicles in 2020 with Digi International

Taiga Motors, a Canadian electric power sports vehicle manufacturer, sought to redefine the market with its first electric snowmobiles and personal watercraft. The challenge was to create durable, connected vehicles with advanced dashboards and over-the-air updates, moving away from noisy, high-maintenance gas-powered models. They turned to Digi International for an embedded computing and connectivity solution.

Digi International provided its Digi ConnectCore system-on-modules and Digi XBee 3 cellular modules. This pre-certified, plug-and-play ecosystem offered the logic, connectivity, and ruggedness required for extreme environments, enabling features like GPS navigation and wireless firmware updates. The solution allowed Taiga to bring its vehicles to market, attracting strong commercial interest from rental fleets who gained remote management, speed limiting, and maintenance tracking capabilities.
