What are the Exclusive Features of Armored Limos?

Basically, armored limousines are exotic vehicles that are fabricated with the CEN ballistic protection standards (CEN B4, CEN B6, CEN B7) to ensure greater safety to passengers from armor piercing bullets, IED attacks, fragmentation and blast mitigation threats. Their door and window apertures are fitted with ballistic glass and the body panels are incorporated with layers of steel armor plate to provide ultimate protection to the occupants during ballistic incidents. The armored limousines have semi-rigid armor plates mounted inside the vehicle to create a protective boundary for unseen dangers on the road. They look like standard limos but are finely armored to survive the bomb blasts, hand grenade attacks and multiple gunshots.

The USA president’s armored car is the best example of all exclusive features that come included with armored limos. From armor plated doors and fuel tank to sophisticated communication devices, many useful and invaluable features are built in the armored limousines to provide protection and comfort to diplomats, royals, business tycoons, celebrities and other high-profile individuals and their families.

Whether you are seeking armored limousines or armored SUVs, there are many expert coach builders in the market to cover you with a wide range of features that can offer more confidence and safety. A finely-built, custom armored limo can make a big difference when it comes to passenger safety. So, we have discussed below about a few exclusive features that custom limo builders can incorporate to make your ride safe in armored vehicles.  

1.    Ballistic glass
The curved ballistic glass made of soft and hard types of glass is used in the window screen, rear bulkhead, rear quarter panel and passenger doors for ensuring the best level of protection. This glass can survive even when hit with a forcefully coming bullet or a weapon like a hand grenade instead of getting delaminated or distorted.

2.    Bullet proof armor
All armored limousines have their roof, doors, fire wall and side walls protected with bullet proof armor. These premium quality and heavy duty steel armor plates make armored vehicles safe from serious dangers on the road that would severely damage the doors or the undercarriage of the limo.

3.    Protective fuel tanks
The non-exploding, shrapnel protected and Aramid fibre material coated fuel tanks are used in armored limos. These fuel tanks are available with the best level of of ballistic protection to avoid the risk of fuel leakage, fire breakouts and explosions in armored limousines.

4.    Bead Locks and runflat systems
The tires of limos are the most susceptible part which can be a prime target for terrorists or attackers looking to make the vehicle immobilized To help the limousine passengers escape at great speed or arrive at a safe place even with one or more flat tires,  custom builders include bead lock protection and systems. Runflat tire inserts are made mostly bullet proof, provide added protection to the limo and its occupants, sustain mobility over any difficult terrain and run at high speeds.
