The Turkish-made YetX amphibious vehicle, renowned for its versatility and advanced engineering, conducted a demonstration and test drive in Ankara for various government institutions and organizations.
Exported to six continents, the YetX is utilized in diverse fields such as search and rescue, mining, civil defense, humanitarian aid, and defense and security. Notably, it can be converted into an ambulance when required.
Key Features and Specifications:
- Versatile Utility: The YetX caters to public agencies and private companies, boasting a payload capacity of approximately 2 tons.
- Innovative Fuel Storage: Each of the vehicle’s four tires doubles as a fuel tank, holding 58 liters of fuel each. Combined with the primary 95-liter fuel tank, the vehicle can store up to 327 liters, enabling 19 hours of continuous operation with the main tank and up to 60–80 hours with auxiliary tanks.
- Off-Road and Amphibious Capabilities: The vehicle can climb slopes of up to 35 degrees and traverse various terrains, including water, snow, mud, sand, and rocky surfaces, thanks to its adaptable tire pressure system. Users can adjust tire pressure from 0 to 100 PSI within a minute.
