正文(英文) | Amphibious vehicle helping to tackle flooding in EssexThe Environment Agency has been trialling a new piece of equipment in Essex to help reduce flood risk to homes and businesses. The vehicle, named Truxor, is designed to work both on the channel bed or whilst afloat. It has recently been trialled at river sections in Kelvedon and Heybridge in Essex having previously been used in Norfolk.
