A video from the military or possibly Volvo evaluation/development of an amphibious version of the TGB13. This version never made it into production.
While searching for more information I found a few pictures here: http://www.amphibiousvehicle.net/amphi/V/volvospecial/volvo.html (opens in another window)
Unfortunatelly the Dakar rallye 2008 (Lisbon-Dakar) was cancelled due to terrorist threats. Here’s a video with some of the trucks, cars and bikes in Park Ferme the day before cancellation and when they leave the Dakar area to go home.
When it isn’t possible to go back… the plan was to keep to the right and out of the water but the truck slided to the left. The only option left was to use the powerful Sepson PTO winch.
A few clips from the autum 2007
This was our first time in Rimbo.
