The amphibious Terramare was developed by Milan-born engineer Maurizio Zanisi. The latter modified the Iveco Daily 4x4 by adding an internally welded steel hull and a waterjet propulsion system along with supplementary fuel tanks with a total capacity of 300 litres or about 80 gallons that guaranteed a successful sea crossing without the need to refuel. Iveco says that the Terramare is capable of achieving a top speed on the road of 100 km/h (62 mph) and 10 km/h (6 mph) in the water.
