Fat Truck Featured in CBC Coverage of Canada’s MSPO 2026 Debut as Lead Nation

National Grid has turned to the FAT TRUCK®, a purpose-built amphibious utility vehicle for power grid maintenance, to support major upgrades at the Rotterdam Substation in New York, one of the largest and oldest stations in the National Grid system. With crews working in areas where a wheeled vehicle would sink instantly due to wet and soft ground conditions, the FAT TRUCK proved to be the right tool for the job, carrying up to eight people and powering through terrain with up to three feet of water. CBS6 Albany Before using the FAT TRUCK, crews sometimes had to wait for mats to be laid down just to safely reach a structure. Now, the vehicle glides over rough terrain without leaving deep ruts, reducing environmental impact and saving valuable time on the job site. CBS6 Albany The story was covered exclusively by CBS6 (WRGB Albany), highlighting how purpose-built amphibious technology is helping utility providers modernize critical infrastructure while keeping crews safe and operations on schedule. We are proud to see the FAT TRUCK making a difference in the field.

While some might lament this season’s deep snow, it proved fertile ground for Canadian Armed Forces members to train in this week. Taking advantage of both the deep snow and slushy conditions, four members of the Canadian Armed Forces from southern Ontario visited the Coniston Industrial Park to engage in Fat Truck off-road utility vehicle training. The eight-wheel, 16-passenger vehicle is 6,350 kg, carries a 1,816 kg payload, a top speed of 40 km/h on land and is designed for all manner of weather and ground conditions, with the amphibious vehicle able to traverse deep snow and marshy swamps. Its on-water top speed is five km/h. The Defense FAT TRUCK® Arctic Mobility Amphibious Vehicle (AMAV) offers even greater payload and top speed options.

The Columbia Icefield in the Canadian Rockies is one of the most breathtaking natural wonders in North America, and now, thanks to the FAT TRUCK®, it's more accessible than ever. The FAT TRUCK® amphibious glacier tour vehicle is at the heart of the Ice Odyssey, a premium experience offered by Pursuit's Banff Jasper Collection that takes guests deep into terrain no ordinary vehicle could ever reach. Guests climb aboard the FAT TRUCK, a remarkable all-terrain vehicle designed to conquer rugged terrain effortlessly — for a personalized adventure shared with a small group of fellow explorers. As they traverse the stunning Athabasca Glacier, guides share the story of the icefield, from its ancient glacial formation to its recent role as a NASA testing ground. Banff Jasper Collection With a maximum of 10 guests per vehicle, the smaller group size means less impact on the glacier and a more intimate experience compared to larger tour vehicles. It's the kind of up-close encounter with nature that leaves a lasting impression. Banff Jasper Collection We are thrilled to see the FAT TRUCK delivering unforgettable experiences in one of Canada's most iconic landscapes.
