The present invention relates to an amphibious vehicle comprising a vehicle frame and a cab supported by said vehicle frame, said cab being connected to said vehicle frame via hinge means so as to allow tilting of said cab about said hinge means between a closed position and an open position, wherein said vehicle comprises a sealing arrangement comprising sealing means arranged to provide liquid tight sealing between the cab and the vehicle frame in said closed position, wherein in the closed position, the sealing arrangement is arranged to provide a confined space for protecting components of said vehicle enclosed inside said space.
An amphibious vehicle comprising a vehicle frame and a cab supported by said vehicle frame, characterized in that said cab being connected to said vehicle frame via a hinge so as to allow tilting of said cab about said hinge between a closed position and an open position, wherein said vehicle comprises a sealing arrangement comprising a seal arranged to provide liquid tight sealing between the cab and the vehicle frame in said closed position, wherein in the closed position, the sealing arrangement is arranged to provide a confined space for protecting components of said vehicle enclosed inside said space, wherein the seal comprises an electrically conductive electromagnetic sealing element with an electrically conductive surface that makes an electrical contact with a second electrically conductive surface when the vehicle frame and the cab are in the closed position such that a Faraday cage is formed by the vehicle frame and the cab through the electrical contact in the closed position so as to control an emitted electromagnetic signature within said confined space.
