PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an amphibian vehicle capable of capturing water for cooling a power unit even in an inclined posture during landing.SOLUTION: An amphibian vehicle includes a vehicle body 7, a traveling part 5 for enabling the vehicle body 7 to travel on a land, a propulsion part 6 for generating propulsion force in water to navigate the vehicle body 7 on water, a power unit for applying power to the traveling part 5 and the propulsion part 6, and a cooling part for cooling at least the power unit. The cooling part includes a first cooling source introduction part for capturing air as a cooling source from the outside, and a second cooling source introduction part for capturing water as a cooling source from the outside. The second cooling source introduction part is configured by providing an opening 15 for capturing water on the rear side of the gravity center of the vehicle body 7 and in the draft part of the outer surface of the vehicle body 7.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2
【課題】上陸時に傾斜姿勢になった場合でも動力部などを冷却するための水を取り込むことを可能にした水陸両用車を提供する。【解決手段】車両本体7と、車両本体7を陸上で走行させるための走行部5と、水中で推進力を発生させ、車両本体7を水上で航行させるための推進部6と、走行部5と推進部6に動力を付与する動力部と、少なくとも動力部を冷却するための冷却部とを備えており、冷却部は、冷却源としての空気を外部から取り込む第一冷却源導入部と、冷却源としての水を外部から取り込む第二冷却源導入部とを備え、第二冷却源導入部は、水を取り込む開口部15を車両本体7全体の重心よりも後方側に、且つ車両本体7の外面のうち吃水部に開口して設けて構成する。【選択図】図2
