Though designed to be used in all climates, the Bv206 has shown special features to be used in artic and alpine climates with its low ground pressure through full-length, wide rubber tracks and a lightweight body. The two sections of the vehicle are articulated, allowing it to keep contact with the ground over broken terrain. The ground pressure is low enough that the vehicle can traverse loose snow without sinking. The fiberglass body is even amphibious, and the vehicle is propelled in water by its tracks.
