Polaris® is 1st Off-Road OEM to offer Overseas U.S. Troops Vehicles at The Exchange

Minneapolis, MN (March 26, 2018) – Polaris® has signed on exclusively with the Army & Air Force Exchange Service and Military AutoSource® to be the first and only off-road vehicle manufacturer to offer military members privileged pricing on vehicles purchased on overseas U.S. military bases. Orders of Polaris® vehicles are sent to the military member’s U.S. Polaris® dealer of choice.

 

“We are thrilled to be adding Polaris® to the family of brands available through Military AutoSource,” said Ken Engberg, senior vice president of marketing, Military AutoSource®. “Polaris and their incredible products exemplify the passion, personal freedom and leadership that truly reflects our men and women in uniform. As always, Military AutoSource stands ready to enable our service members to make the most of their well-deserved downtime in pursuit of their own personal adventures on, and now off-road!”

 

Polaris® off-road vehicles will be available for purchase exclusively at overseas Exchanges later this Spring. Parts, garments and accessories can be ordered directly through the military member’s U.S. Polaris® dealer of choice. The full Polaris® off-road vehicle line up will be offered.
