The RN 110, the first successful
tracked vehicle developed by Calgary inventor and entrepreneur Bruce
Nodwell, was designed to carry a five-ton load in harsh off-road terrains
and extreme cold. It was built in batches, or on a custom basis. The 110,
also known as the Nodwell Tracked Truck, was introduced in 1954. The
innovative track was made of spliced conveyor belting which was cheaper
and easier to repair than continuous belting. It was widely used by both
civilians and the military for a variety of transportation uses.
