Precision Control
The ability to make precise control movements that result in vehicle movement that precisely reflect the operators intention.
Manoeuvrability
The ease with which a vehicle is able to move and change direction, in this case over difficult terrain.
Stability
In the context of an extreme terrain vehicle, having a low and central Centre of Gravity in a wide footprint so as to resist tipping on ground and to remain stable when afloat.
Step Climbing
The ability to overcome rapid changes in gradient or ground level without losing traction, bottoming out, fouling extremes of the vehicle or turning over.
Slope Traversal
The ability to move across a slop safely without slipping or overturning, whilst retaining the ability to manoeuvre and deal with or avoid obstacles or changing ground conditions.
Slope Climbing
The ability to ascend or descend steep slopes safely, without losing traction, retaining the ability to manoeuvre to avoid obstacles or changing ground conditions, including the ability to back off safely and under control if necessary.
Agility
The ability to deal rapidly and effectively with any form of terrain challenge, and to adapt quickly to changing operational demands. A complex emergent capability.
Autonomous Action
High stability, precision control, impressive load capacity and the ability to go anywhere. Add to that the pure simplicity of seamless skid steer and pretty much all the boxes for remote, semi-autonomous or autonomous...
Expeditionary
The Agile vehicle system is designed with deployability in mind, this implies a vehicle that is not only transportable, but which can be supported and sustained through arduous use over extended periods in remote...
Exploration
Whether considering hydrocarbon exploration and extraction, surface mining operations, or renewable energy development, the transport of personnel, tools, and equipment over either wilderness terrain or ground churned-up by heavy equipment requires vehicles with capabilities...
Land Management
National Parks, Forests, and Conservation Preserves that encompass wilderness areas are, by definition, natural environments that have not been significantly modified by human activity, and are almost entirely free of development of roads, buildings,...
Patrols and Reconnaissance
Agile Vehicle Technologies manufactures ultra-light class extreme-terrain vehicles that have mobility capabilities far beyond those of 4-wheel drive vehicles and “militarized” all-terrain vehicles and side-by-side utility vehicles (UTVs). Air-transportable and amphibious, Agile 6×6 and...
Logistics Support
The art of supply, irrespective of barriers. Agile vehicles can provide this at the pointy end, but the pointy end is part of a bigger game and we understand the part we must play...
Sports and Leisure
Agile vehicles are about more than just serious work and business – their extreme mobility, amphibious capability, stability, and built-in safety also add-up to serious fun when trail riding or, better yet, leaving the...
Vector Control
In the perpetual fight against vector-borne diseases, the extreme mobility of Agile 6×6 and 8×8 vehicles will get your vector-control crew and equipment deep into mosquito breeding habitat and out again, time after time....
Firefighting – Wildfires
Wildfire: “Any unplanned and uncontrolled wildland fire that, regardless of ignition source, may require suppression response or other action according to agency policy.” United Nations FAO The incidence and severity of wildfires has had...
Emergency Response
The severe disruption to normal modes of transport following extreme natural events such as hurricanes, tornadoes, floods, earthquakes, and blizzards can jeopardize survival for victims needing rescue by first responders. Whether you are facing...
Utilities
The transport of personnel, tools, and equipment over newly-broken and difficult terrain and the need to access off-grid utility infrastructure, regularly requires vehicles with capabilities far beyond those of 4-wheel drive trucks, ATVs, and...
