This 8-wheel drive amphibious off-road vehicle is powered by a 4-stroke OHV V-Twin liquid cooled 674cc, 24 hp (17 kW) Kohler Aegis LH 690 engine. It has a load capacity of up to 1000 lb. / 454 kg on land or 850 lb. / 386 kg on water, can transport 2 passengers on land/water and features towing capacity of 1,800 lb. / 816 kg. European Union Road Approved.
ARGOs are designed as extreme terrain and amphibious vehicles, but sometimes have to operate on roads as well. This Argo fulfills all the requirements to be licensed as a road vehicle anywhere in the European Union. The ADMIRAL transmission makes this machine a joy to drive. After crossing the road, it is easy to control running at top speed on a gravel road, yet it can haul big loads through extreme terrain and water. Rubber tracks are available for better traction in soft terrain or snow.
