Isbi Armor is aware that conventional armored VIP vehicles offer limited protection against IED's. Small strips of steel welded to pillars rip apart with blasts. Car hinges are not designed to withstand forces from explosions and implosions.

For the past five years we have built Armored Swat personnel carriers for Colombian military Army and Police. These vehicles have been constantly battle proven. They have been hit by gun fire, grenades and roadside bombs.

We mount our armored body on Ford 550 commercial chassis, it fits in a C-130.

To better cope with blasts large sections of steel, fixed windows (70mm thick multi hit) and very strong doors (including hinges and mechanical locks) are required. A truck chassis that is built from start to support the weight of the armored body, is a must.

The vehicles have proven very reliable. The 3/8 th inch mil spec steel holds very well after years in the field. Our polyurethane exterior paint lasts for years. Very little maintenance is needed.
