Zeal Motor Inc., headquartered in Cowansville, Québec, has announced that it has created five new additions to its FAT TRUCK lineup:
- 8X8 HAULER;
- 8X8 WAGON;
- 4 PICKUP;
- 8 PICKUP;
- 8 WAGON.
Its new 8X8 models are purpose-built to excel in the most demanding terrains, offering the capability to transport up to 5,000 lb (2,268 kg) of payloads or accommodate a crew of up to 16 individuals. The 2.4 PICKUP is a groundbreaking 2,000 lb (907 kg) amphibious vehicle, featuring a pioneering design with a hydraulic motor per wheel.
The 2.8 WAGON and PICKUP each represent the evolution of their predecessors—the 2.8C and 2.8P—and now boast an 11 percent power increase and over 40 new and enhanced features.
Notable improvements include impact-resistant windshields for heightened safety, an upgraded ergonomic and quieter cab, and the introduction of Power Take-Off capabilities.
Zeal now offers a comprehensive range of unmatched industrial off-road utility amphibious vehicles.
Its new FAT TRUCK series is engineered without compromise, setting new standards in value and performance for utilities, mining, pipeline operations, telecommunications, and search and rescue missions.
"Our vehicles display impressive capabilities with speeds of up to 25 mph (40.2 kph) on land and three mph (five kph) on water. Furthermore, they meet stringent safety requirements, providing a remarkable advantage that only the FAT TRUCK can deliver," stated Amine Khimjee, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing at Zeal Motor. "Even at maximum payload, their footprint remains five times less than that of a human walking."
The unveiling of the new vehicles took place at The Utility Expo in Louisville, Kentucky, September 26–28, 2023, at booth N929.
