MEET the Sherp All Terrain Vehicle – an amphibious vehicle that can tear through ice, mud and deep water. The all-terrain ATV is built to tackle conditions that other off-road vehicles can’t handle. The Sherp can travel through extreme and remote areas in the harshest of weather. Powered by a Kubota V150T engine and weighing 3,527lbs, the Sherp is equally at home on land or in water.

00:00The Sherp can cross swamps, water, it's fully amphibious. It's made for really, really remote
00:06areas. It can get you pretty much anywhere.
00:24The Sherp is the ultimate go anywhere ATV, built to tackle terrain that other off-road
00:30vehicles just can't handle.
00:32The idea comes from Russia. We have a recreational market for sure, but this vehicle was made
00:39to do your job. It's not a toy. The Sherp is being used with many commercial applications
00:45such as mining, exploration, geology, surveying, hydro, pipelines.
00:51Eight years ago, the team at Sherp decided to put their years of all-terrain vehicle
00:55construction experience into an exciting new project.
00:59In 2012, that was a prototype. After that, they started the mass production in 2015.
01:06Since 2017, we sold over 200 units in North America, and we have six dealers in Canada
01:13so far and 15 in the U.S.
01:16The Sherp is built in Ukraine, and we assembled it here in Canada.
01:21Powered by a Kubota engine and weighing in at 3,527 pounds, the Sherp is equally at home
01:28on land or water.
01:30The Sherp can cross swamps, water, it's fully amphibious. Any type of weather can get you
01:36pretty much anywhere.
01:38And it has a neat trick to handle different terrain.
01:42The main thing about the Sherp is the tires. The tires are self-inflated with the exhaust,
01:46which allows you to control the pressure. You can deflate and inflate it within 30 to
01:5140 seconds, all the way down and all the way up.
01:54Depends on what you want to cross. If you want to inflate the tires with the exhaust,
01:59you just close the valve, hit the right button, use the gas, and the exhaust's going right
02:05into the tires, all four wheels even.
02:10And if you need to go long distance, the vehicle has a pretty impressive fuel capacity.
02:16In each tire, you got the additional fuel tank. If you need to work in really remote
02:22areas with no gas stations, with no civilization, it could feed up to 55 liters per one tire.
02:30So in total, it gives you around 280, 285 liters, the whole unit, including the main
02:36tank. If you fill up, it allows you to go 3,000 kilometers. It can feed up to four people
02:42in the back with comfort, but in an emergency rescue situation, you can feed up to six or
02:47eight people in the back.
02:49With 44.3 horsepower, a top speed of 24.5 miles per hour on dry land, and 3.7 on water,
02:58the Sherp isn't going to break any speed records, but it will take you just about anywhere.
03:05It was not made for the highways, for just a regular road. It was made mostly for commercial
03:10use for those companies and people who has some need to use that type of equipment in
03:16really, really remote areas and tough terrains where just any regular ATVs or any other equipment
03:21cannot do. Oh, it feels amazing, especially when you're going from the ice to the water.
03:28A standard version of Sherp is $107,000 U.S. dollars. My very favorite thing about the
03:35Sherp is the tires. I love the tires. We've been in situations where we thought, this
03:42is it, this is over, this is where we cannot cross, but the Sherp has never got stuck.
03:48When you're struggling to cross this particular terrain, the Sherp will get you where you
03:53want to go.
