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.

Strong Google-**** was required for this:

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):

Newer vehicles?

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!
