Singapore Technologies Engineering and Gibbs Amphitrucks are working together to introduce the Humdinga, an amphibious vehicle that can move from land to amphibian mobility without any preparation. Humdinga is a full-time 4WD Amphitruck powered by a 300BHP turbo diesel engine. It is capable of highway speeds on land and over 30mph on water. With the touch of a button Humdinga transitions between land and water in seconds. On water Humdinga utillizes GIBBS Amphibians proprietary HSA twin water jet propulsion technology. Humdinga was developed to access remote destinations and has robust marine, highway and off-road performance. Photo: Noam Eshel
