The Swimbus 12.01
We had not less ambitious aim but to create the best and safest amphibious tourist vechicle of the world. The task was not easy but with the many years of experience in constructing and operating of such special vehicles, collecting costumer opinions and suggestions, financial and marketing knowledge, finally we succeeded.
In our newest Swimbus 12.01 model we have invented two innovations (The new Swimbus 12.01 is a consequent development of the reliable 12.00 type and received further modifications such as:
- a special cooling device which makes the craft even more operational in very cold and hot outside temperatures (between -20 to +40 C)
- an advanced new propulsion setup with propellers and Kort rings that makes the vessel faster, safer and more economical
The Swimbus is the only available amphibious vehicle with all EU certificates and licences for road and inland waters. Special, official regulations are also fulfilled. That means your operation can kick off on the day of delivery.
The Swimbus 12.01 is Built by Swimbus International Ltd. in Budapest, Hungary with many years experience in building custom buses.
