Armored Vehicles - Types of Usage

The use of Armored Vehicles are broadly categorized into military use and civilian use.

Armored Vehicles for civilian use employ light armoring than the Armored military vehicles, hence it is less expensive than the latter. They are not intended for heavy fighting, instead used for quick escape from a place of unexpected threats. Many of the civilian cars can be modified into Armored Cars. For the civilian use, Armored SUVs are preferred to Armored Sedans due to its better safety, comfort and off-road capability.

In this era where use of deadly weapons has increased substantially in conflict prone areas, in order to remain protected from any kind of security assaults, use of armored vehicle while transporting through these insecure areas is highly essential.

Use of Armored Vehicle in Commercial Sector

Some of the Oil & Gas Sector require the use of armored vehicles in their project in order to safeguard the safety and security of the people working in their project. For example recently Anadarko Petroleum Corporation wants a fleet of at-least 6 Armored Vehicles to stop AK-47 bullets at its natural gas project in Mozambique owning to an attack that killed more than 100 people a few kilometers near the company's worker camp, according to local media reports.

Use of Armored Cash-in-transit

Armored Cash-In-Transit is an armored van or an Armored Cash Transport Car, used in transporting valuables like cash in large quantities in order to resist robbery attempts, hijacking etc. These Armored Cash-In-Transit vehicles are mainly used by banks, certain commercial companies etc.

Use of Armored Bus

Armored Bus is used for transporting troops, large groups for eg: some of the schools in Israel is using Armored School Bus to ensure the safety of children. Armored Bus is also used in Police for transporting criminals, weapons etc.

We can conclude major demand for the use of armored vehicles are from Ministries, Embassies, Security Companies, NGO’s, Defense, Politicians, Celebrities, Security Organizations & even some Commercial Sectors.
