INNOVATION AS LIFESTYLE
The world of vehicle-manufacturers, where "vehicle" means every kind of machine moved by an engine and able to run through land, water, air or snow, is divided in two different branches, depending by the philosophy that the designer adopts: Conformists and Innovators. Conformists bring an innovation only after others did it. They think they have just to offer at least the same value of their competitors, and there is no sense to spend more resources for innovation. Innovators are always looking for new and better solutions, sometimes swimming against the tide, but always looking for a new idea to satisfy the customers needs. Our feeling is to belong to this category, since we have a lot to tell about innovation. There are a lot of works that, until now, have been made with less success with traditional light-utility snowmobiles. Innovation means also to design a new machine especially for these works. And if someone promises you that he can do the same, we just tell you that we do it better. Why? Take a look here:
