                                                                                                                       Single Rear Wheeled Version                                                       Dual Rear Wheeled Version

 

  

Single and dual rear wheeled versions are based on Ford 550 series. With either a civilian or paramilitary body style, it is a most excellent replacement for overloaded up-armored civilian vehicles.

It has superior levels of lightweight armored protection over any other off-the-shelf civilian commercial vehicle that presently exits. For the first time ever in a civilian vehicle, an armored engine bay is standard protection.

 The opaque armor weighs in at less than 39 kilograms per square meter. It has a protection level able to defeat all 7.62 variants of AP rounds, while at the same time affording excellent protection against side load blast.

Armor is mounted within the body cavity and is attached to a rigid interlocking 1x2” steel interior frame.

As mentioned it uses the Ford F550 4x4 chassis with a modified rear axle having single rear wheels.

Its wide track, gives an unequaled low center of gravity.

The design is flexible enough to fulfill many security applications in the internal security role for the civil powers.

The spacious passenger compartment is designed for a crew of five with standard driver controls and high quality electrically controlled car seats for the driver and front passenger.
In addition, the rear cargo compartment ceiling is high enough so that, with a minor adjustment, an optional bench seat arrangement will allow for a further crew compliment of four more persons.  
The client can order from an exterior body design that is either ruggedly discrete or more overtly paramilitary.

The interior trim may be ordered as a bespoke finish, using luxurious leathers, fabrics and high-grade wood laminates or a more utility version, using FMVSS approved vinyl.  
Side and rear widow apertures may be selected from a number of different designs to meet with the client’s operating needs.

Extremely powerful gasoline or diesel engines give impressive acceleration and handling characteristics.
Road handling is very similar to a standard 4x4 vehicle.
The braking system is well able to accommodate the weight of armoring, as we have been able to fully armor the vehicle while at the same time keeping well within the GVWR set by the Ford Motor Company.

Service costs and scheduled maintenance periods are well within the norms as set by the chassis manufacturer.  
The company’s strategic partners have set up vehicle maintenance facilities in most operating areas in the world, including those areas subject to civil unrest.
