What UTV International does

UTV International is a privately held Canadian manufacturer of specialty tracked off-road utility vehicles, headquartered in Mont-Royal, Quebec, and founded in 1995 by Andy Sztroc. The company operates with 51–100 employees and has served more than 500 clients over a thirty-year operating history. Its product portfolio spans multiple distinct platforms: the Achiever tracked digger derrick, the Kodiak crawler carrier (featuring a patent-pending walking-beam articulated suspension), the Voyager amphibious personnel carrier, the Hercules truck-mounted digger derrick, the Fire Tracks wildland firefighting vehicle, the LoggerTrack and PlanterTrack forestry platforms, and the Trak Lynx traction-enhancement product line. These platforms share underlying track and chassis technologies adapted to vertically specific duty cycles.

The company's customer base spans electric utilities (including a publicly disclosed Duke Energy relationship), defense, mining, construction, fire and emergency response, vegetation management, forestry, oil and gas, Arctic operations, telecom, beach cleanup, and public security. UTV International goes to market through an authorized dealer network that now covers the United States, Mexico, South America, and Indonesia, supported by a minimum advertised price (MAP) policy. Pricing is quote-based per equipment configuration, consistent with a build-to-order specialty manufacturing model. Recent strategic activity includes a defense partnership with Rheinmetall presented at CANSEC 2026 and the 2026 launch of new forestry (LoggerTrack, PlanterTrack) and higher-capacity utility (Kodiak DLT2-60, Achiever RT-02 HD DD) product lines, signaling active diversification across both verticals and geographies.

Product overview

UTV International is a manufacturer of tracked utility vehicles founded in 1995, offering multiple product lines across distinct sub-brands. The Achiever Series provides tracked digger derricks, aerial lifts, and carrier units with 5-ply belted track systems for electric utility and telecom applications. The Kodiak Series features heavy-duty crawler carriers with one-piece steel-reinforced rubber tracks for rocky terrain and construction. The Voyager Series delivers amphibious and articulated hybrid-electric personnel carriers for defense, Arctic, and public security missions. The Hercules Series offers truck-mounted digger derricks with OEM components. The Fire Tracks sub-brand provides purpose-built fire response vehicles. The LoggerTrack and PlanterTrack sub-brands target forestry operations. These product lines share core technology platforms (tracked mobility, low ground pressure, all-terrain capability) but serve distinct industry verticals from utilities to defense to forestry.
