Armoured Vehicles We provide protection by armouring with composite material. Our state-of-theart facilities assure high volume production with consistently superior quality.
Lightweight Transparent Bullet Only the top Quality ballistic glass used with custom features included to Resistant Glass maintain ballistic protection at higher temperature.
Ballistic Steel
Only Pre-certified ballistic grade steel is used which is fully traceable back to factory production lots.
Floor Protection
Flexible multi-layered ballistic Kevlar速 is sealed to the entire floor, roof and body of the vehicle. Designed to absorb bomb and ballistic fragmentation.
Run Flat Tyre System Run flat device in all tyres. These tyres continue to run even after a tyre is punctured or burst Up to 60 miles at 60mph after a bullet hit.
Suspension, Shocks and Brakes
Front shocks replaced with custom made coil over shocks fully tested in off road conditions. Smoothes out ride over all terrain and provides stability to offset increased load due to armouring. Rear Brake shoes replaced with high performance material for improved braking and increased safety.
Dual Ram Bumpers
Concealed behind both the front and the rear bumpers, this option allows each vehicle to ram their way out of a dangerous situation without causing in- operable damage.

Design and Engineering All Hard Shell protected vehicle products are fully designed and engineered using the latest CAD systems.
All CAD data is generated and critical section data is generated to ensure no ballistic leaks are apparent, the optimum fitting and attachment strategy has been adopted and that critical materials and system interfaces are achieved with zero ballistic leak. CAD data also generates data for production tooling, laser profiles, work instructions and process data sheets. This ensures all vehicles are produced to a consistent process and provides full traceability. Edges and seams are designed to feature armoured overlap system to prevent ballistic, and spall penetration. Bullet resistant glass with polycarbonate anti spall liner film is used at all glazed areas.
Manufacturing All Hard Shell protected vehicles are manufactured in strict compliance to our Quality Standard and follows strict process controls to ensure high product quality, materials traceability and product repeatability. The Hard Shell resembles a normal civilian vehicle. It is low profile – meaning that the vehicle is nearly visually identical to a standard vehicle. Therefore unwanted attention while traveling is avoided.
Fuel System Protection Fuel tanks are protected from all sides with ballistic steel
Run Flat Inserts All 5 wheels (4 driven and 1 spare) are supplied with a FINABEL approved run-flat insert band providing the ability to travel a total distance of 50Km.
Suspension In order to ensure the vehicle handles and reacts in a safe a predictable manner all Hard Shell have a complete upgrade to the suspension system. The revised system includes Coil Springs and Shock Absorbers. These components are specially developed after much R & D.
Brake System
The braking system has been modified to ensure the fully laden vehicle reacts as close as possible to the OEM Vehicles. Hard Shell have a slotted disc design which allows for better braking performance and to dissipate the heat created due to braking.
Door Hinges
All original door hinges are replaced with our in house designed and manufactured heavy duty door hinges. The vehicles body structure is reinforced at the door hinge locations. The heavy duty hinges and the body upgrades ensure the vehicle can take the additional weight of the fully armoured doors.
