	DAF Amphiroll (1960) NOT build by DAF Build by a private individual as a hobby. One of the interesting possibilitys is the ability to move side ways with high speed. See also the Chrysler Marsh Screw Amphibian (1964)
	DAF (1939) Traction DAF MC-139. Just before WWII DAF developed a special vehicle, an amphibious four wheel drive with 4 wheel steering.
	DAF PORTER (1964) Type 500 YE you can find this vehicle in the DAF museum in Eindhoven Holland
No picture	Dauphin "ANN PHIBI" (1960) This is an amphibious camper. It had al the luxury of it s time. The road front is the poop (deck) on the water. (it goes back wards in the water) The picture is in the book "Mit dem Auto baden gehen", (sold out).

	Dobbertin Surface Orbiter (1993) Then there was the American couple who built an amphibious vehicle out of an old milk truck tank! The Panamanians called it "the shrimp", since the front was made into a long point. They drove the vehicle to Key West from upstate New York, then island hopped to Venezuela, navigated through the Panama Canal to Panama City, and were laid over in the local yacht club. After a couple of weeks of servicing several systems that had become corroded from the ocean, they set off again to drive through Central America to Southern California. The entire RV/boat was make of stainless steel, but it was so cramped inside that you couldn't stand up. You literally had to crawl from the driver's seat over the engine to the small galley that contained a propane camp stove and tiny refrigerator. engine V8 Turbo diesel 6500 cc 250 hp top speed land 115 km/h top speed water  15 km/h weight 9000 kg al in. length 10 meter http://www.channel1.com/users/brosius/stuffbox.htm And for the video http://www2.rpa.net/~fredphoto/etrek.htm
	Doliner Go-Devil One of those funny things with powerful technical potential, it is called the Doliner Go-Devil. All wheels driven by chains that run in cases. Those cases can be turned 360 degrees. For water purpose its got a propeller in the back (where ever the back is). No further technical data is available. But if any info is send in it will be highly appreciated. Picture and info was send in by René Pohl the author of the book "Mit dem Auto baden gehen", ISBN 3893657029. Who has an amphibious site of his one.

Official US Army picture	Drake XM-158 (1956) This is an 8 ton 8 wheel truck with an aluminium hull and 2 husky engines. It is 42 feet long and 10 feed wide and was made by GM The right engine drives on hard surface the second and forth axle. On soft ground the left engine is also switched on and that drives the first and third axle. There are 12 forward gears and a torque converters on each engine. It does 45 m.p.h on land and 7 knots in water. In the water each engine drives a propeller that ascends and descends by two air lift cylinders. It was the successor to be for the Dukw, but only a hand full of prototypes where build. Picture was send in by Bob Rose
	DREDGE  (1960) This is a one off a kind item. Originally built for Department of Forestry to clean Salmon spawning beds around 1960. It was completely rebuild in 1983 and used for a year on domestic holding ponds. There are 2 Buick V6 motors and 2 huge pumps. There are 4 hydraulic  winches. There many water hook ups. This will travel on land and water. It is mostly made out off aluminium.
	DUKW The DUKW is a large six wheel drive (6x6) amphibious landing craft. The arm, tube and rotating seal on the wheel hub carry air to the tyre and allow the driver to vary the tyre pressure on the move. The dashboard has a dial indicating the correct tyre pressure for sand, coral and mud. The DUKW is equipped with a GMC 270 cubic engine (91 hp) and a Clark un-synchronized five speed transmission. Land speed is 50 mph on water 6 mph. Cargo space 149" x 49" x 27" Vehicle size 372" x 106" x 99" D stands for the year of introduction, 1942 U stands for utility truck K stands for front-wheel drive W stands for dual rear-wheel drive
Official US Army picture	Super DUKW In 1953 the prototype XM-147 SuperDukw with a 145 hp engine came to light. It could carry 4 tons of cargo. with a speed of 50 miles on road and 7,5 miles on the water. It has an all metal cab with sliding side windows and 15.50 X 20 tyres. The loading bay fits palletized cargo. Cargo space 182" x 88" x 29" Vehicle size 32' x 98" x 144" The Super DUKW had problems with breaks, steering and engine cooling system. The shape under water made that the water speed did not match the engine power. Picture was send in by Bob Rose
	Dunebuggy (1995)   Des prix à Mini-Baja. All vehicles in the race use an identical engine and must conform to rigorous safety and design specifications. Team members credit the success of there dune buggy to the lightweight but sturdy design, and a number of additional features including the power drive, two separate brake systems, a superior suspension system, an electromagnetic clutch, and retractable floats which provided better clearance on the underside of the vehicle .
	Dutton Came into high water in 2008 after he build an amphib for family tours that was leak and unstable. Latest news The Argus.co.uk If the link does not work click here for a txt version Operated after 2004 under the name AMPHIBIOUS CARS LTD that is now 2008 in Liquidation Works now under the name Amphijeep ltd. Date of Incorporation 2006 Dutton Marine was for a long time the only manufacturer of road legal amphibians. Upto now (2008) a total of 100 amphibious vehicles based on: Ford Fiesta Mk4 Suzuki Samurai and the Suzuki Jimny where build. for the Ford model. for the Samurai/Jimny model. for MY AMPHIB a Commander S2 The front wheels and the water jet do the steering in water. The water-jet unit of 44kW (60hp) gives water propulsion. The Jet gets his power from a PTO. http://www.timdutton.com
	Dutton amphibious kit car  (Mariner?) The company has now been wound up Just like eight other firms Dutton was involved with since 1991. Ad a Suzuki and a hand full of other car parts if you want to build it your self. Beter to do it your self. beter that Tim anyway. ;-) The body is looks the same as the Commander S2 Tim has informed me that the KIT CAR (Mariner?) is ONLY  SJ 413 and Samurai based. After that anouncement he started building kits for the Jimny. The kit price includes; the modification of the gearbox  and the rear drive shaft. http://www.amphijeep.biz
	Eagle That is the name it has on its nose. no further information.
	Engesa Urutu (Brazil) The basic version of this vehicle is an unremarkable 6x6 APC propelled in the water by it's wheels. The Brazilian Marines, however, have a much modified version, with propellers and high-level breathing pipes, which is allegedly capable of operating offshore, in an amphibious assault role. The info was send in by Harold Smith.
photo © Andreas Mehlhorn	Europajeep (1960) France, West Germany and Italy started a joint project for a 500 kg 4x4 amphibious vehicle, the 'Europa-Jeep'. Prototypes were built by two consortia, Fiat/MAN/Saviem and Büssing/Hotchkiss/Lancia. The project was cancelled in 1976. In the photo is a rare survivor of the Fiat-MAN-Saviem amphibious field car project.
	Evans (1804) In 1804 Oliver Evans constructed this steam dredge, it was the world's first amphibious vehicle, for the Philadelphia Health Service. The maiden voyage occurred in July 1805, on a one and a half mile journey, from Central-Square to the Schuykill coast. That was also the first route made by a steam vehicle in the USA. But it was also the only and the last time the Evans was on the road. The weight was 15 tons, and the vehicle moved more elegantly on water than on land. It had NO possibility of steering and a 5 HP steam boiler that drove the paddle and 1 wheel. The model in the picture was released in a series of steam vehicles by Brumm. http://sammler.freepage.de/dbeck/e/tour/spezial_kurios1.html http://people.whitman.edu/~bryanba/railroad/attitudes.html Steam & Engine
	EWK Alf-1 (Amphibisches LöschFahrzeug) (1968) The Alf was a request by the State of Rheinland-Pfalz to have an amphibious fire fighting vehicle at the Rhein river. First, EWK "Eisen Werke Kaiserslautern" tried to build that ALF on base of the M2 it became the ALF-1. But the ALF-1 had the problem of capsizing when they shot the water cannon to the side (action and reaction). To counter that, the width was increased, making the vehicle forbidden for roads. But the vehicle must be able to use the roads to get faster to the accidents than on waterway. Anyway, after a long time of try and error, the ALF-1 was usable, slightly wider than allowed (but got a special permission).
	EWK Alf-1 (Amphibisches LöschFahrzeug) In 1987 the ALF-1 had his wheels removed and the hull closed. making it "just" a boat. The ALF 1 had a system to make a cloud of water aerosol around the vehicle so it could swim through areas of burning oil/fuel. The Alf-1 is resting now in the "technik_Museum" in Speyer in Germany Much of the Info and de first photo was send in by Andreas also from Germany.
No picture	EWK Alf-2 (Amphibisches LöschFahrzeug) When the development of the Bison was finished, EWK started a second attempt on base of the Bison, for a fire fighting vehicle, the ALF-2, and where successful immediately. The Bison was narrow enough for the roads and by its inflatable floats stable enough to shoot a water beam to every direction while being afloat. Actually, these floats are not needed for floating, they are just for stabilization. For the ALF-2, the floats were not inflatable but were pontoons that were pivoted from the cargo bed (since there is no cargo) to their operating positions, which also opened the working deck with the water cannons and increased the working deck surface. ALF-2 also had a system to make a cloud of water aerosol around the vehicle so it could swim through areas of burning oil/fuel. The ALF-2 prototype was built on EWK's own costs. The strange thing is that since the ALF-1 did not fulfil the expectations, the ALF-2 was never bought by any fire service. Info send in by Andreas from Germany
No picture	EWK APE (1972) (Amphibisches Pionier-Erkundungsfahrzeug) In English that is an Amphibious Engineer Reconnaissance Vehicle. more to follow I hope.
	Bison (1980 to 1991) It was made in Germany by EWK "Eisenwerke Kaiserslautern" The Bison was built in their factory in Homburg/Saarland/Germany. Production ended in 1991 A modified Bison was used around 1980 by the Feuerwehr (fire brigade) in MAINZ This must be the ALF 2 The picture was send in by Willem from Holland and the info came from Andreas from Germany
No picture	EWK EFA (1985) Development started at EWK's daughter CEFA CEFA was a part of EWK until 1985. CEFA became independent in 1985 and since then it is autonomous. It has an improved SPJ55 pump-jet from Schottel. Wheels can be retracted with their frame inside the hull. The first contract for EFA was awarded to CEFA in 1989 from the French Army. There for the EFA can be found under CEFA
	EWK Gillois type I (2a) amphibian truck/bridge layer. Build by EWK which means "Eisen Werke Kaiserslautern" The vehicle was the brainchild of French General Gillois during the 1950s, and he chose EWK to realise his concept. Total weight incl. bridge sections ± 29.000 kg. It is a 4X4 with retractable wheels The Engine is a Deutz type F 12 L 714 air-cooled diesel. Capacity 19 Litre V-90.

	TM 5420 - M2 and M2B (Comet) (1954) Amphibious Bridging and Ferrying Equipment (M2) Build by EWK there partner in developing was Klockner-Humboldt-Deutz. The competitor model M1 was made by MAN and Krupp (which did not belong to Thyssen back then). But M1 failed and the army decided for M2.The M2 were developed 1954+ and produced until 1982 for many armies of the NATO and other "western" countries (389 vehicles). The M2 offers full cross country as well as floating capabilities. It is used to cross rivers and other inland waters with a water current velocity of up to 3m/s. It operates either as a single ferry or, in a combined configuration (several open- or close-coupled single ferries), as a multiple ferry, or as a single element within a bridge structure. The loading capacity of the single ferry provides for a 12 t useful load, allowing up to Military Load Class MLC 60 for multiple ferries and bridges. http://www.amphistage.co.uk/ http://www.joseph1.demon.co.uk/pgm2.htm http://geopages.com/SouthBeach/Jetty/2852/army4.htm http://www.ruddersboatyard.co.uk/hirecharter.htm
	M3 (1994) This is the successor of the M2, its full name is: AMPHIBIOUS EQUIPMENT M3 and it is optimised fore high availability and low operating costs than its predecessors. Faster readiness for operation, higher mobility, reduction in manning costs due to increased automation of the control functions. Development began in 1982 and lasted 10 years, in 1992, the last testing sample was delivered. A first order of 64 serial vehicles came in in 1994. The M3 is the result of 40 years of experience of EWK in the fields of design, development and production of floating bridges and ferrying equipment. The new equipment offers the following performance: A 100 m bridge able to carry MLC 70 T/MLC 100 W constructed in less than 20 minutes A two-bay ferry able to carry MLC 70 T A three-bay ferry able to carry MLC 100 W or two times MLC 70 T Ability to operate in current speeds of up to 3.5 m/s
No Picture	EWK "Eisenwerke Kaiserslautern" There is a difference between the M2 and the M2B and when I know what it is I put it on this page.
