The story

Founded in 1962 in Kitchener, Ontario. ODG helped design the transmission for the Amphicat. ODG manufactures 8×8 vehicles and 6×6 vehicles for recreational and industrial use.

In November 2009, volunteers in twelve communities in Nunavut were each equipped with an Argo Avenger, one of ODG's 8×8 vehicles, for local Search and Rescue.

Recently, ODG was asked to help the Canadian Space Agency in designing a lunar vehicle.

The Argo is an all-terrain 8×8 or 6×6 amphibious ATV / UTV / XTV. ODG has been manufacturing the Argos for over five decades.
