Decades ago, but long after the
invention of the automobile itself, private companies were some of the first
users of armored vehicles. Nowadays for many businesses, armored vehicles are
more of a necessity than ever. Originally, armored vehicles were developed for
asset protection which is till date on the primary purpose fulfilled by these
vehicles. Any business or organization that routinely transports cash or
valuables can use armored vehicles, such as Armored Toyota Land Cruiser,
to safely transport their assets to the intended place.
Armored vehicle manufacturers are also creating custom built armored vehicles for elite customers such as Armored Toyota Land Cruiser, which offers protection level of VPAM 7-9 and VPAM VR 10. The protection level VPAM VR10 is normally possible only for military vehicles. Protected inside the thick steel walls of a bank vault Armored Toyota vehicle can safely transport stockpiles of currency. Cash that’s being moved between secure locations is perceived as more vulnerable and criminal elements always try to make things easier for themselves by intercepting cash when it’s being transported, this is why VR 10 certified Armored Toyota Land Cruiser vehicle provides protection from all soft core bullets and most of the armor-piercing (AP) and armor-piercing incendiary (API) bullets. The Armored Toyota Land Cruiser 200 provides the highest protection among civilian vehicles.
HOW THE VALUABLE ASSETS ARE PROTECTED
Vehicles dedicated to the safe delivery
of money, known as cash-in-transit vehicles, are used by financial institutions
to drop off and pick up large quantities of money thousands of times daily
without incident. Fleets of CIT vans and light armored trucks, often
modifications of familiar everyday vehicles, routinely service the nation’s
ATMs. Without the security of armored vehicles, the banking industry could not
offer this convenience that we’ve all come to take for granted.
HOW THE VIPs ARE PROTECTED
Businesses across the world use armored
vehicles not just to protect cash and physical assets but to protect their human
assets as well. Regardless of what product you specialize in or what services
your business provides, all organizations need employees
to make them run. However, in today's world, high-class business executives
have frequently become the targets of assassination attempts or kidnappings-for-ransom
schemes. The reality is that business executives often need the same kind of
protection that used to be provided only to political leaders and diplomats.
Often in the movies, we have seen that
corporate officers are riding in limousines, but in reality, they might be more
likely to travel in less flashy armored vehicles or SUVs. Luxury vehicles, such
as Toyota and Lexus, have now been converted into armored, bulletproof
vehicles. Even compact cars are being custom-reinforced with armor in an
attempt to provide VIPs with very inconspicuous transportation that’s meant to
go unnoticed, but will offer greatly increased physical protection if the
“disguise” fails to avert an attack.

understand the importance of investing in risk reduction, Aurum Security
manufactures, sells and services a wide range of armored cars, SUVs and
vehicles such as Armored Toyota Land Cruiser and Armored Lexus
