After having faced the most earthy terrain on earth, Suzuki’s AllGrip 4×4 technology is ready to conquer space. The know-how matured in nearly half a century of compact wheel drive design is now being used in the realization of the vehicle that will have to move and collect moon images for Team Hakuto, the only Japanese team to participate at the Google Lunar X-Prize. The Moon represents, in the collective imagination, the unavoidable objective and achieving it is a difficult challenge. Turning this dream into reality is what competitors of the Google Lunar X-Prize have to compete, a $ 20 million prize for the first private team to send a rover on the Moon by December 31, 2017, which will have to go At least 500 meters from the landing point and send on the earth video and high definition images of the lunar surface. Suzuki has a key role: to put its expertise in compact wheel drive vehicles to serve the rover development.<\/p>\n<\/div>
