Sherp ATV

The Sherp ATV is an amphibious all-terrain vehicle built by Sherp to cross snow, sand, marshes, and open water on a single tank. It is engineered as the most capable off-road machine on the planet, floating over obstacles that stop conventional 4x4s.

The Concept

Sherp designed the ATV around one uncompromising brief: go anywhere, come back on your own. The buoyant sealed body doubles as a hull, the deep-treaded low-pressure tubeless tires act as paddle wheels on water, and the skid-steer drivetrain turns the vehicle on the spot. Everything is built for reliability in expedition conditions, where recovery is not an option.

The Build

The Sherp all-terrain vehicle weighs around 1300 kg yet carries a 1000 kg payload. Construction is deliberately simple to survive remote use, with extra fuel stored inside the wheel disks for a total 232 litre capacity. Consumption stays at 2 to 3 litres per hour on any terrain, giving roughly 115 hours of continuous off-road driving. A 170 litre under-floor compartment adds sealed storage, and the interior fits four full-size beds for overnight expeditions.

Performance

Power comes from a reliable Kubota diesel engine delivering 44.3 HP through a 5-speed manual gearbox. The amphibious ATV tops out at 40 km/h on land, climbs inclines up to 35 degrees, clears vertical obstacles up to 70 cm, and floats across rivers, lakes, and marshland. It can even continue with two flat wheels, so a puncture never ends the trip.
