Unique amphibious truck by Gibbs Amphibians
The famous and unique amphibious car record company Gibbs Technologies has showed two new machines. The company was founded in New Zealand, then moved to the UK, and now became Detroit based. It is called now Gibbs Amphibians, and, fortunately, makes no less impressive vehicles than before. New items from the Gibbs Amphibians are a jeep Humdinga II and the truck Phibian. Developers call these models the best examples of high-speed amphibian technology (HSA).
We are primarily interested about the Phibian truck, which could reach 26 knots (48 km/h) on water, and out from water to land is just 10 seconds. Phibian claimed to be a completely new kind of amphibious truck. It features a 500-horsepower turbo diesel, resulting in either the wheel (on the ground drive can be rear, front or all-wheel-drive), or water cannon, and takes on board the three crewmembers and 12 passengers or 1.5 tonnes of cargo.
