High-Speed Amphibious Rescue Truck: From Truck to Boat in 10 Seconds

The Phibian from Gibbs Amphibians is a 30-foot high-speed amphibious truck designed for disaster relief, flood rescue, and military logistics.

Built to operate seamlessly on land and water, Phibian combines a 4×4 highway-capable truck, a 30-mph rescue boat, and the trailer that would normally tow it — all in one platform. With twin turbo-diesel V8 engines, water-jet propulsion, and hydraulically retracting wheels, it can transition from road to water in under 10 seconds at the push of a button.

Capable of carrying up to 15 people or over 4,000 pounds of cargo, Phibian is built for missions where time, access, and terrain decide outcomes. Would this change how disasters are handled?
