Quite the suspension on the trailer I'd say.

Man, still no one with an answer? I'm really curious where I can find more info as well. I tried Googling the "sponsor" names and came up with pages in foreign languages.

Does anyone have more info? Those tires look like innertubes.

Since 1997 "Arctic" Foundation together with Belorussia partners were developing new means of transport – 6x6 wheel-drive cross-country vehicles with extra-low-pressure tires. Those vehicles received deserved approval on the results of examination in Arctic, 1996-98 and from that time on were widely used during Arctic and Antarctic expeditions.

It looks like there is a newer version out (based on photo dates):

Those are great
very purpose built, no tires just innertubes!

And it looks like they are using the new model weatherproof Pelican cases up on the roof rack!
