China North Vehicle Research Institute is working on a new multi-role amphibious vehicle which will be able to reach relatively high speeds in water. Claimed to be the world's fastest amphibious vehicle among its kind, the four-wheeled vehicle uses a V-shaped hull to minimize the hydraulic drag and propelled by compact pump jets in waters with the wheels retracted.
The vehicle weighs 5,5 metric tons and reached a top speed of 50 km/h in calm waters during a test earlier this year, according to the institute. The institute has not published other specs about the vehicle such as its land speed and operational range.
