Zusammenfassung:An amphibious vehicle includes: an engine; at least one land traveling device; at least one water propelling device; a power distribution device configured to distribute power outputted from the engine between land travel power to be supplied to the at least one land traveling device and water propulsion power to be supplied to the at least one water propelling device; a slippage-amount detection device configured to detect a slippage amount of the at least one land traveling device relative to ground; and a controller configured to adjust at least the land travel power, of the land travel power and the water propulsion power, on the basis of the slippage amount detected by the slippage-amount detection device. The controller is configured to reduce the land travel power if the slippage amount detected by the slippage-amount detection device is greater than a threshold while the land travel power and the water propulsion power are supplied respectively to the at least one land traveling device and the at least one water propelling device for landing from water to land.
