@armynationph_0117: Tatak Pinoy! Gawang Pinoy! Local manufacturer Francisco Motors Corporation (FMC) has released the prototype of their LAKAN amphibious rescue vehicle, which is aimed at Civil Defense agencies for flood and rescue operations, as well as for the Armed Forces of the Philippines for military amphibious transport/utility applications. Powered by a 2.8L diesel engine, it can carry up to 6 people, has a road speed of up to 95kph, and is propelled via a propeller allowing water speed of up to 14kph. The new RA12009 now provides leeway for local manufacturers to bring in their new products for procurement by government agencies, despite being unproven. This will give the product a chance to prove itself and improve further. The vehicle is small, which is more applicable for loval government unit's rescue services, although FMC getting experience in building such vehicles would allow them to improve and build larger vehicles that could have significant impact for military application, especially once the SRDP gets revived.
