Benefits of Using Armored Cars for Protected Transportation

Our armored vehicles perform well in the following critical roles:

• Passenger protection
• Law enforcement
• Cash-in-Transit
• Armored personnel carriers
• Specialty & custom armored vehicles
• Military vehicles & more!

Passenger Protection

In these extraordinary times, it's critical to protect your most valuable cargo and the lives of those you love. If you reside in a dangerous region, an armored car can help deter criminals and protect you and your family against live rounds, ballistics, fire, and even kidnapping attempts. Our passenger sedans and SUVs are discrete and blend seamlessly into ordinary traffic.

Law Enforcement

Crime rates are skyrocketing in many of the world's biggest cities. Significant amounts of illegal firearms are coming into the hands of criminals, and law enforcement authorities face considerable obstacles in their daily work. Our armored vehicles are custom-designed to confront these threats head-on and enable law enforcement to perform business safely and effectively.

Cash-in-Transit

Transporting cash is probably the role that armored vehicles are most closely connected with. The task generally involves moving large amounts of money from one financial institution or business to another. Cash-in-transit trucks are a desirable target for robbers and other nefarious characters who relish the opportunity to intercept trucks en route. Our cash-in-transit armored vehicles protect your cash from external threats and help to ensure that it reaches its destination securely.

Armored Personnel Carriers

Our armored personnel carriers are a critical component of military, law enforcement, and other contractor operations in the world's troubled regions. We can customize the carriers to repel live ammunition and ballistic threats, helping troops and officers carry out their tasks efficiently.

Specialty & Custom Armored Vehicles

Given their unique nature and sensitivity, some operations require specialized vehicles. At The Armored Group, we can customize any sedan, truck, or van to meet individual security and transportation requirements based on your specifications. We also provide custom upfitting to your current vehicle, or you can purchase an armored car directly from us including one from our used armored vehicle inventory.

How Do Our Armored Vehicles Offer Protection?

Overall, our armoring technology has been renowned for its reliability and resilience. Our vehicles have survived even some of the most potent threats. Here is a list of some of the features you can expect from our armored vehicles: 

• Bulletproof windows and doors
• Ballistics and fire protection using metal and alloy
• Reinforced suspension system
• Reinforced brake system
• Reinforced frame to help it withstand even missile and grenade attacks

The post An Overview of How Armored Vehicles Can Protect You, Your Teams, & Your Cargo appeared first on The Armored Group.

Before we delve into the benefits of using armored vehicles, let’s explain why armored cars are becoming increasingly necessary.

Why Invest in an Armored Vehicle?

Nearly every time you turn on the television or read a newspaper, the news is rife with global turmoil. There’s an overall climate of insecurity everywhere you look, and the number of violent crimes, such as armed robbery, is increasing. According to data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, there were upwards of half a million violent crimes in the U.S. in 2020 alone. So as a VIP transporting precious cargo through high-risk areas, it makes sense to invest in an armored vehicle. And our vehicles are intentionally designed to blend in with standard street traffic.

In such a chaotic world, VIPs and other high-profile individuals must take precautions to protect themselves and their loved ones against robberies and even kidnappings. One of the most effective ways to do so is to invest in high-quality armored sedans and armored SUVs from a reliable vendor, such as The Armored Group.

How Do Armored Sedans & SUVs Protect VIPs & Their Cargo?

VIPs, like celebrities, politicians, and CEOs, are often targets of violent criminals due to their social and material status. This makes them and their families especially vulnerable while traveling. That is why investing in the right personal armored transport is critical in this day and age. Armored sedans and SUVs from The Armored Group offer several protective benefits and features, including:

Ballistics Protection

Ballistic protection, like Bullet Proofing, adds another layer of projectile protection to a vehicle. At The Armored Group, our state-of-the-art ballistic protection armor can help to safeguard VIPs and their precious cargo from improvised explosive devices (IEDs), missiles, and even fires.

How does ballistic protection work for sedans and SUVs? 

All glass must be engineered to resist live bullets and shrapnel. To do so, the windows and windshield are made up of two layers: one that is resistant to penetration and the other that is anti-reflective. This prevents light from reflecting into the eyes of the occupants. During explosions, this can help the glass prevent thermal radiation from entering the vehicle.

Other Features of Armored Sedans & SUVs

Armored sedans and SUVs from The Armored Group are designed to be inconspicuous in many surroundings. This helps to evade detection and, whenever possible, avoid confrontation. However, in the event of a confrontation or attack, our vehicles are equipped with a wide range of armoring features. 

Further enhancements can be made to customize or upgrade your armored vehicle. Allowing you to modify an armored vehicle to meet your unique wants and needs. Contact us to discuss in detail your security and armoring options.

Some of the custom options available for our armored sedans and SUVs include:

• Vertical panel protection
• Certified bullet-proof glass
• Roof protection
• Blast protection
• Door overlap protection
• Upgraded brakes and suspension systems

Contact Us to Get Started

The Armored Group offers our VIP customers resilient armored sedans and SUVs. These shielded vehicles can help protect you and your precious cargo, including friends, family, money, and other valuables. To order a custom armored sedan or SUV, contact us now, and one of our knowledgeable security specialists will be happy to walk you through every step of the process.

“It is important to identify industries that need armored vehicles and aren’t sure where to go to get the security they need to transport valuables, cash, coin and other liability.  The growing cannabis industry was one of those markets transporting valuable product and cash. The Armored Group saw this need and developed a vehicle perfect for this industry,” said Robert Pazderka, Founder and President of The Armored Group. “The vehicle is purposely non-descript retaining the OEM exterior with a safety cell within the “shell” of the vehicle. It also features critical items like infrared cameras inside and out, built-in safes, GPS, satellite phones and light shutoff switches as an extra precaution.”

The move into this segment has revitalized the cash-in-transit (CIT) industry. The earliest CIT modes of guarded transportation were stagecoaches which were mechanized around 1910. Around 2000, there was a massive corporate consolidation of CIT service providers operating within the most populous regions.  Today, more and more independent operators are entering the market again, giving he armored vehicle manufacturing industry a renewed revenue stream enabling more people to secure jobs, markets and territories in this growing industry.

Most armored vehicle manufacturers conduct blast tests at a farther range, typically 4 meters, which lessens the direct impact to the vehicle. The successful results of this recent test at such close range makes it a highly-desirable vehicle for those looking for the highest degree of protection for law enforcement, SWAT, military, government agencies and others that require added safety.  The TAG Research and Development Team created this new armored build design to raise the bar on vehicular safety for anyone in the line of heavy artillery fire and blast threats.

“Our team is constantly striving to find new and better solutions to keep first responders, military personnel and others safe from harm. The certification of the 15KG TNT blast test at just 2 meters on both, the driver and passenger side of the vehicle, achieves this goal. Because this same armor can be used on other vehicles, it enhances the versatility of our products and vehicles, offering the highest level of personal protection,” said Robert Pazderka, President and Founder of TAG.
