There are plenty of places not even the most capable of Land Rovers or Jeeps can reach.

This is where the Viking 29031, an “Advanced All-Terrain Amphibious Vehicle” with tremendous cross-country capabilities, comes in. According to the manufacturer, it also features class-leading amphibious operation.

It uses a powerful water-jet propulsion while riding the waves, helping it reach speeds of up to 12 km/h (7.4 mph). Also, it can take up to seven crew members or 850 kg’s (1,873 lbs) worth of cargo, making it ideal for rescue and emergency services.

This 5.25-meter (17 feet) long monster can of course handle its business on the road as well, especially with its decent turn radius of 8.6 meters (28 feet).

As you can imagine, there’s very little the 29031 can’t drive over. In the video you’ll see it make its way up and down a bunch of steps and even over what looks like a series of concrete pillars.
