During the Kielce event, AMZ Kutno also showcased the amphibious 8x8 Hipopotam APC, developed not only for the military purposes (e.g. as a base for specialized platform which could be used e.g. as an engineering reconnaissance unit), but also in order to mitigate the effect of the natural disasters.

Vehicle’s own weight is 26 tonnes. It maintains its amphibious capabilities with a mass of 29 tonnes, while maximum permissible weight is 32 tonnes. The Hipopotam is capable of attaining the top speed of 110 kph, and its engine has a power output of 480 kW (643 HP). The vehicle is tailored to transport 20-feet containers. Scope of ballistic protection may be raised up to level 4, according to the STANAG 4569 norm.
