With a worldwide network of businesses and multi-national workforce, Armor Holdings, Inc. is well positioned to satisfy the growing demand for its solutions and services of Armored vehicles, security cars, bullet proof vehicle and other light weight security vehicles.
The country, the political situation and the position of each client determine the danger potentials. They match their predefined armoring types to your specific exposure risks based on our assessment of your needs.
People whose personal safety is threatened usually have a prominent position in government, society or industry. Armored security vehicles do more than satisfy the demands that a position of this kind makes in regard to safety and comfort. That is why they don't build on any base vehicle model. TRASCO vehicles must meet high standards in regard to automotive technology, performance and comfort right from the start. And none of these features can be diminished once the armoring is installed. For this reason, they restrict themselves to selected models produced by well known manufacturers.
From its very beginning, TRASCO set the standards in the development and manufacturing of heavyweight limousines for government agencies, major organizations and the top management of major companies. TRASCO transforms the new vehicle into a special protection vehicle, armored off-road vehicle or armored limousine and sells it directly to the customer or their security adviser.
Yet at first glance you cannot see just how much know-how goes into a armored vehicle. They attach great significance to an inconspicuous appearance which comes as close as possible to that of the base vehicle. A vehicle which attracts no attention is less likely to be the target of an attack!
However, beneath the outward appearance, each Armored automobile is distinctly different. And individualized - because nothing is as relative as security. People face many dangers – in widely different countries and under a variety of professional and private circumstances. As their requirements vary completely, they must adjust solutions to their personal protection needs.
Which is why they use modular, individual and situation-oriented solutions precisely tailored to the requirements of each client. To this end they examine the methods, concepts and effects of terrorist attacks, criminal acts and other dangerous situations throughout the world and adapt vehicle designs accordingly.
In addition, they offer a complete range of relevant defense measures, from anti-kidnapping features to heavy armoring. Together these elements combine to form the complete all around armored protection package, most notably exemplified in the armored Safety Cage.
To be sure comprehensive protection concept delivers what it promises, they regularly submit materials to the most stringent of weapon firing and explosion tests carried out by the Staatliches Beschussamt Mellrichstadt (German National Ballistic Labboratories).
Irrespective of the protection measures, the base vehicle remains the most important factor. After all, a car which is heavy with armor and unwieldy simply will not completely protect you. Which is why Armor will not work on just any base model. The base vehicle, which later leaves workshops as a TRASCO armored car, must meet very high standards in the first place. It must possess excellent driving qualities, ease of handling, outstanding maneuverability, and of course the highest degree of comfort.
And they always keep a selection of vehicles from various security classes available for immediate delivery. Because safety cannot wait.
It's tough luck for the car jackers, however, if their target happens to be a TRASCO vehicle. The automatic start door locking system doesn't give intruders any opportunity to force open a door. The Alarm Siren and Intercom will attract more attention than they would ever want. And, the TRASCO Safety Cage is not the only part of the vehicle that gunfire can not affect: with Emergency Running Inserts in the tires, a TRASCO automobile just keeps on moving as if nothing had happened.
People subject to threats of this kind can protect themselves effectively with a TRASCO vehicle. The TRASCO Safety Cage - the heart of all TRASCO personal protection vehicles - protects you from attacks. A TRASCO Bomb Detector, for example, locates every magnetically attached explosive device. And a Remote Starting Device detonates from a safe distance any bombs connected to the vehicle's ignition system or sensitive to vibrations without endangering human life.
Personal protection vehicles are used by many clients ranging from private citizens, business people, diplomats to heads of state. To meet their needs, TRASCO protection automobiles are based on selected vehicles of the upper middle class and above. One of the most important safety criteria for us is that, once the armoring is applied, the vehicle still looks inconspicuously like the standard model, so as not to attract any undesired attention. And we insist on short delivery times so that we can provide the fastest possible safety and security.
