Nowadays, with a high rate of robberies and assaults on the road it is important to drive a high quality armored vehicle if your business is related to transportation of cash, precious metals or valuable equivalents. There are many armored vehicle manufacturers that offer integrated security solutions including vehicle\u2019s reinforcement with ballistic materials and bulletproof glass as well as implementation of electronic solutions that provide advance defence features to the vehicle.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Being in the top of the armoring industry for more than 20 years, INKAS\u00ae provides innovative technologies and products along with unprecedented quality and durability. With the extensive knowledge and accumulated experience of the INKAS\u00ae skilled engineering team the company ensures to design and produce armored cash-in-transit vehicles that meet any need requested by the client.<\/p>\n

Depending of the business nature and geo-location where the vehicle is deployed, INKAS\u00ae offers cash-in-transit vehicles with different ballistic protection levels that indicate to what extent a body armor can provide protection against bullets and different explosive devises.\u00a0 If you have any doubts regarding the protection level to match your requirements, a representative of the INKAS\u00ae\u00a0 sales team will gladly help you out to determine the needed protection level.<\/p>\n

There are many international classifications of protection levels depending on the country where the vehicle will be operating. Most of the time INKAS\u00ae utilizes EN 1063 or CEN 1063 standards created by the\u00a0European Committee for Standardization\u00a0to evaluate and describe protective capacity of bullet-resistant materials. Sometimes you can see that a sign \u201c+\u201d is added to the ballistic level, which simply means that additional caliber, other than the one already mentioned, has been tried out on the armor material and successfully passed the test.<\/p>\n

The chart below represents different protective classes depending on the type of weapon and caliber that is being used against the composites. It goes without saying that the higher is the level, the higher is protection provided. According to the tests, the body armor must prevent the penetration of the bullet with several strikes placed within 4.7\u2019\u2019 from each other.<\/p>\n
