The Chinese company Shaanxi Baoji Special Vehicles Manufacturing Co., Ltd, a large manufacturer of light armored vehicles, presented an amphibious vehicle for the needs of the PLA’s special forces as part of a public-private partnership. This Chinese amphibious vehicle is a “clone” of an American one, the WaterCar developed by Panther for the leisure market (roughly USD 155,000 apiece) and relevantly proposed for a military use by the Chinese, an example to follow by other armies. The use of amphibious light vehicles, all with 4x4 transmission, dates back to World War 2.
