Ulterio Motiv will exhibit a total of three vehicles at this year’s Hankook Land Cruiser Festival. Held annually, the Land Cruiser Festival caters not only to Toyota Land Cruiser enthusiasts, but also to various companies that supply products, upgrades and equipment for these vehicles.

Taking place at Sondela Nature Reserve & Spa, the event will feature over 50 exhibitors, a range of activities and another Land Cruiser Africa record attempt.
Ulterio Motiv will display three vehicles at their stand – all featuring chassis built by them. These include our Toyota Land Cruiser 79 2.8 GD-6 Single Cab 6x6, Toyota Land Cruiser 79 2.8 GD-6 Double Cab 6x6, and SVI Engineering’s Max 3 Six-Wheeler for military use. For the latter, Ulterio Motiv has converted the chassis to accommodate three axles and 6x4 capability.
It will also take part in the new Land Cruiser Africa record attempt. Ulterio Motiv’s mechanical expert and vehicle builder, Juan Vosloo, along with the company’s Business Development Director Nicol Louw, will be present during most of the show to engage with showgoers and interested parties.
The products offer specialist buyers the opportunity to acquire a vehicle that serves as a blank canvas and an ideal platform for civil, commercial and military applications.
