Gibbs | The Humdinga
The Humdinga illustrates the scalability and versatility of High Speed Amphibian (HSA) technology. Developed specifically to access remote destinations, Humdinga transitions from land to water in seconds. At a touch of a button the wheels retract and the power train transfers from 4WD to GIBBS Amphibians proprietary HSAÂ twin jet propulsion system for on-water use. Humdinga, fast on land and on water. Rapid in transition.
