AMZ Kutno's CPKTO Hippopotamus

The CPKTO Hippo is a heavy engineer amphibious vehicle.  I can't tell from the website whether its still in development or not, but it is an interesting design.  One thing that is confusing is the relatively small payload.  The industry standard is at least a couple of tons more and for the designated role it seems inadequate.

Stats from AMZ Kutno.

Armor:
The use of newly developed armor using modern composite technology and protection systems to ensure the crew to the maximum possible degree of ballistic protection (up to four levels according to STANAG 456,914.5 × 114 mm B32 of 200 meters at a speed of 911 m / s) and warfare with a modern design floor vehicle.
Number of seats:
Hippos design characterized by versatility and ability to adapt quickly inside, depending on the type of activities carried out.
Currently Hippo adjusted to the version KTRI / Wheeled Reconnaissance Engineering / housing a 5-man crew (commander, driver-mechanic, two engineers and scouts scout-chemist).
Use:
Several military applications as well as the liquidation of civil consequences of natural disasters.
A few selected examples of applications of the chassis for any purpose other than CKPTO:
· The vehicle is equipped with a cab (armored least one level by STANAG 4569) manned and frame the container can be transported standardized containers 20 alloy, which today serve in the Army, as mobile laboratories and mobile command posts,
· When mounting on the chassis support specialized equipment (elevator, blade, towing equipment, lifting equipment, winch system), we obtain a modular car Technical Assistance
· When mounting heavy artillery weapons - we get such mobile howitzers,
· The vehicle also designed to integrate with it in the future systems and specialized equipment (sapper), such as induction detector, hydroacoustic devices, etc.
· In addition, using the capabilities of the vehicle towing heavy trailers are specialist increased the applicability of the chassis as a Heavy Vehicle Transport.
