ATON IMPULSE was founded in 2004 by its current co-owners and investors, Mr Arthur Touktarov and Mr Leonid Khripounov.

1. To date a small number of VIKING vehicles have been produced for Russian industrial, government and private customers, including one of Russia’s largest petrochemicals producers and Russia’s emergency and disaster relief agency.
   

2. ATON IMPULSE has worked closely with these early customers to optimize and refine our designs. Our numerous contacts within many corporate and individual customers who had an opportunity to test our off-road vehicle have convinced us that there is a real demand for our vehicles as they meet as closely as possible the requirements of all groups of potential customers who live and work in extreme conditions.
   

3. We have also thoroughly studied the market of off-road vehicles both in Russia and overseas before we managed to develop a vehicle which enjoys unique cross-country capabilities, stability and endurance. There are no similar vehicles compatible with the VIKING vehicle in terms of specification and utilities manufactured overseas.
   

We are confident that our product pioneers a new trend in off-road vehicles through combining the advantages of different types and classes of cars and off-road vehicles

1. Comfort and space of modern off-road vehicles you can operate on road and completely off-road
   

2. Space and payload of  standard vans and pick-ups
   

3. Outstanding cross-country capability  similar to tracked vehicles
   

4. Amphibious qualities comparable with top amphibians
   

5. Environmental friendliness which is provided only by wheeled super low tire pressure off-road vehicles
   

6. Reasonable prices which are between the upper end of SUV off-road vehicles and the lower end of tracked vehicles.
   

7. A wide range of VIKING vehicles to meet practically any requirement for the mid-term future.

1. ATON IMPULSE has secured a $1.5m co-investment commitment from AK BARS Capital, the investment arm of Tatarstan’s largest bank AK BARS Bank, and a co-manufacturing agreement with a strong local partner. ATON IMPULSE is currently looking to place a further $2.5m of equity, to close a current round of financing for its first serial vehicle production. With a growing order book from Russian and international purchasers, the company presents an opportunity to become a leading player in the lucrative specialist vehicle sector for professional, rescue and emergency services.
