ABSTRACT:
A vehicle capable of going on public roads, on dirt roads, as well as over water. The vehicle includes two aft tracks and one front track, each track being powered by a hydraulic motor. The wheels are removably mounted to the tracks, and the wheel axles are operatively coupled to the corresponding hydraulic motors of the tracks. The tracks have a trapezoidal shape, which promotes the difficult transfer displacement of the vehicle from water to land, at the river bank edge. The tracks enclose buoyant material. Over water, the vehicle is powered by an outboard motor.
