Discover the iconic DUKW Amphibious Vehicle, a marvel of engineering developed in the United States. This versatile vehicle combines the robust engine and drive system of the CCKW 353 truck with a unique boat-shaped body. It features a 3-axle, 6-wheel undercarriage and is equipped with a screw propeller at the rear for efficient water navigation. Whether on land or water, the DUKW is designed to excel, reaching speeds of up to 80 km/h on the road and 10 km/h on water. It boasts an impressive capacity, able to transport 25 men or 2.5 tons of cargo on its bed, and double that - 50 men or 5 tons of cargo - when on water.

The DUKW's exceptional seaworthiness was proven when it crossed the English Channel unassisted. It played a crucial role in the Normandy landings and the Pacific War, demonstrating its reliability and strength in critical moments. Even after World War II, the DUKW served in the Korean War and continued to be used by Allied nations into the 1980s. Post-war, these vehicles found new life in the private sector, aiding firefighting organizations and coast guards in disaster relief efforts.
