Buses wading into the water conquer the world
AmphiCoach has just launched a convenient bus, which can go on the ground and on the water, helping passengers 'cut off' the period of waiting for the boring ferry.
Made of aluminum material, corrosion resistant, can move on live, lake or sea, this bus can carry up to 50 people. AmphiCoach, Scotland, said the car could work well for 3,500 hours in a row without any problems.
After 6 years of development, the buses of AmphiCoach are on their way to conquer the world. The first market of these vehicles was Belfast, United Kingdom and Budapest, Hungary.
CEO, Steve Smith, said: 'Since the first photo of the AmphiCoach car was launched on the Internet, there are a lot of people who are interested, the number of visitors to our website has increased by 700 people. each month up to more than two million times. We also receive orders from many companies from around the world in quantities up to 20 '.
Like all regular buses, it can travel on roads at a speed of 112km per hour. The interesting thing is that when it comes to water, it can easily go on the water just by pressing the control button lightly without stopping the car, then the wheel will shrink into a cover and create gas pistons. force to bring the car across the wave. At that time, the bus was no different from a wooden raft with a traveling speed of up to 6-8 knots.
Steve Smith said: 'When it comes to water, the steering wheel automatically adjusts, without having to stop, while the wheel is lifted and the jet movement replaces. The special thing is that this boat is more 'flexible' than a real boat '.
The price of each special bus is over 400,000 USD and each year Amphicoach can produce 12 units. "By creating this kind of special vehicle, we hope to promote tourism in port cities," Smith added .
