The HCS have exercised their option to purchase 350 TRV-34CDM Snowcat 2100 snow & ice optimised IFVs. The CDM was Dino funded (though there were little changes over the original Snowcat) and has been bought by the Dinos for operation in ice condition such as on Jeloka. The HCS need to recapitise their fleet which is now ageing badly having been originally built over 20 years ago. The first prototypes are due to begin testing early next year on Lomar and Jeloka.
The new Snowcat has a number of detail and equipment improvements over the original as well as a new engine based on the engine used in the TRV-5HD Tapir.
