Engineering & Technology

Armored Capsule

  • The design is fully certified and tested as a complete system (not just individual panels).
  • Manufactured from a single, continuous armored steel plate.
  • All critical areas, including the floor and roof, are fully protected.
  • Completely sealed — no weak points.
  • Laser-welded or overlapping joints.

Glass

The glazing is 80 mm thick and provides protection in accordance with VPAM APR 2006 (Level 10 / STANAG 3). All windows are multi-layered, including splinter-resistant polycarbonate, ensuring maximum visibility and protection without distortion. Our bonding process guarantees full adhesion to the frame and eliminates the risk of gap formation.

Wheels

Equipped with run-flat tires that remain functional even after complete pressure loss. Combined with reinforced rims and inserts, these systems allow continued driving for up to 50 km at speeds of up to 80 km/h, even with a completely flat tire.

Upgraded Suspension and Braking System

The suspension and braking system are fully upgraded to support the increased weight of the armor without compromising ride quality. Components are recalibrated or replaced to ensure optimal performance and durability under load. The enhanced systems provide safety even during evasive maneuvers.

Our vehicles provide the maximum level of protection available for civilian vehicles.
