New Hamburg, Ontario, Canada: What must be the most Canadian of police vehicles made its debut on the world stage at this year’s G8/20 summits.
Over a dozen ARGO amphibious 8x8 off-road vehicles were on lease to provincial and federal police forces during the international summits in Huntsville and Toronto, helping police with perimeter control and emergency response.
These amphibious all-terrain talents provided security forces with a cost-effective way of maintaining unrivaled tactical flexibility in any terrain - water, bogs, forests, challenging urban situations - and kept response times to a minimum.
Spearheading the ARGO presence at the summits was the 750 HDi, ARGO’s top-of-the line amphibious 8x8, powered by a 31-hp fuel-injected Kohler LH 775 engine that
comes with an innovative steering transmission, comfortable bucket seats and carries up to 6 passengers. In addition, this all season off-road machine offers outstanding fuel economy, reliable cold-weather starting and strong high-altitude performance.
ARGOS, and their CENTAUR heavy-duty commercial cousins, have a proven record in utility management, natural resource exploration, the public sector, defense and forestry - in Canada and abroad.
