The record
Alexei Garagashyan of Saint Petersburg drew the vehicle in the late 2000s. The Ukrainian entrepreneur Vladimir Shkolnik bought one, saw a business in it and set up a design office in Kyiv in 2012; serial production began in 2015. The tyres are the whole idea: an on-board system inflates or deflates them in under thirty seconds using exhaust gas, so the same vehicle can float, crawl over fallen trees and climb out of water onto ice. Fuel is 58 litres, with optional 50-litre canister tanks inside the wheels.
