Tracked articulated vehicle

If the soil is however very weak and stressed to the point of slippage, and no momentum is attained, turning can only be accomplished by decreasing thrust on the opposite track.

An early example would be the Canadair RAT, which was developed to transport infantrymen and tow toboggans across the frozen lakes of the Canadian north.

[citation needed] Within the UK and Dutch militaries, the amphibious BvS 10's are used by marines to traverse sandy beaches, but have also been used in the War in Afghanistan.

[4] In the logging, drilling, and mining industries, tracked articulated vehicles are used to move loads and personnel in remote locations.

[5] Such vehicles are marketed as being lighter and easier on the terrain due to their low ground pressure,[6] and disturb the ground less when making sharp turns compared to tracked vehicles with differential steering,[7] making them usable in areas with strong winter conditions or vegetation that protects the soil against unwanted erosion.

[6] In the Arctic and Antarctic, tracked articulated vehicles are used for general logistics purposes in support of remote research bases.

The Singapore Civil Defence Force deploys modified military Bvs-206's, dubbed the Tracked Firefighting Vehicle (TFV), for this purpose.
