Singapore Technologies Kinetics (STK) has received indications of interest from several Southeast Asian navies for the Humdinga convertible amphibious vehicle designed by UK-based Gibbs Technologies.

Under a partnership agreement, STK would build production quantities of the vehicle while Gibbs remains a design and fabrication house.

Speaking to IHS Jane's at the Singapore Airshow, an STK spokesperson said that the all-wheel drive amphibious truck has attracted the attention of navies in the region looking to eliminate land and water boundaries.

The Humdinga is an amphibious vehicle with retractable wheels and water jet propulsion and boasts highway-capable speeds on land and in excess of 50 km/h on water.
