Amphibious vehicle is a car for all
seasons.
by Williams, Robert H.
* A Covington, Tenn., company following four years of research and
development is now marketing Hydratrek--a heavy duty emergency response
vehicle that can endure hazardous conditions.
The 2,500-pound multiwheel amphibious vehicle can swim through
swamps, mud, and water, and negotiate rough off-road terrain.
A Hydratrek LLC spokesman says the aluminum clad vehicle is suited
for a range of missions that span disaster response, emergency rescue,
law enforcement, environmental research, geological surveying and, for
the average Joe, hunting and fishing.
