SHERP is a Ukrainian[1] UTV designed for rough and soggy terrain. The company is certified with international quality standards ISO 9001 and its headquartered in Kyiv (Ukraine). Its vehicles are sold all over the world through a wide dealership network including ARGO[2] and STREIT Group.[3]
The key feature of SHERP vehicles is the large wheels with an onboard system to inflate or deflate them, which allows vehicles to travel through water, cross brushwood, scramble and climb up thin ice.[4]
This design concept is copied by other manufacturers like BigBo[5] and Shatun (articulated steering).[6]
History of creation
The Sherp all-terrain vehicle is based on a design developed by the late 2000s inventor Alexei Garagashyan from Saint Petersburg.[7] One of his all-terrain vehicles was bought by Ukrainian entrepreneur Vladimir Shkolnik.[8] Seeing the prospect of sales, Shkolnik created the production of all-terrain vehicles.[9][10] In 2012, he set up a design office in Kyiv to refine the concept into an industrial product. Assuming the main sales in Russia, in 2014 he organized production in St. Petersburg.[11]
In 2014, Sherp LLC (Russia) was established,[12] serial production of snowmobiles began in 2015.[13] In the same year, the Sherp was presented at the crossovers and off-road vehicles Moscow Off-Road Show 2015 held in Moscow. In March 2022, the Ukrainian company terminated the license agreement with Sherp LLC, which granted the Ukrainian company the right to use the Sherp LCC (Russia) trademark and patents.
In the summer of 2022, the company announced the SHERP N1200 modification. This version is intended for use in arctic climates: it is insulated, the windows are closed with special protective bars against polar bears, snow removal equipment and roof racks for luggage have appeared.[14]
