The Safest Amphibious Passenger Vehicle in the World

Although the concept of amphibious touring vehicles is not new and some of you may have even experienced a ride in a vehicle of this kind, Amphicoach is ready to launch a new model that is thought to be "the safest amphibious passenger vehicle in the world," Autoblog reported.

Designed to be both extremely comfortable for tourists and to meet all relevant EU legislation, the Amphicoach is a fifty seat road coach, resulting after six years of hard work years under professional supervision. Apart from features like performance, level of finish, passenger safety and comfort, ride comfort, stability and maneuverability that are common to road coaches as well, the Amphicoach's sailing capabilities have been classified by the marine experts that have been involved in the project as "astonishing".

The Amphicoach uses a marine jet drive unit equipped with a choice of two diesel engines along with two- or four-wheel drive. It is built from marine grade aluminum for lightweight and superior strength. In addition, an electric propulsion system is also available. If chosen this feature, not only the Amphicoach will cause less harm to the environment, but it will also provide equal performance to the standard marine propulsion.

Since it is labelled as "the safest amphibious passenger vehicle in the world", the vehicle features  self inflating lifejackets, safety belts, the latest Pyrogen Patented Automatic - Manual Fire Suppressant Systems for instant eradication of danger in the event of fire in the machinery area. Banks of sensors which include visual and audible warnings constantly monitor every aspect of the vehicle to ensure smooth, problem free running and ensure complete passenger safety at all times.

What's more, the most innovative feature of the Amphicoach is a one-off wheel retraction system that retracts the rear wheels into the hull when under sail,  reducing drag. This allows speeds in excess of eight knots while fully laden in the water.
