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 multi-wheel 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.
