LAND
Industry leader Jankel produces armoured vehicles
for police, international security forces and military
clients worldwide. Their armoured Toyota Land
Cruiser 200 offers extreme blast protection that
makes it popular with humanitarian and security
organisations operating in hostile environments
like warzones.
Its armour is hot-formed, meaning it is heat-
moulded to the vehicle from just 31 individual
pressed panels (as opposed to the hundreds of
pieces used in conventional armouring approaches).
This kind of armouring is quicker to complete and
the fi nished product is cheaper, lighter, and more
protective than any other alternative.
The entire vehicle goes through extensive
live-fi re and blast testing, including ballistic rounds
fi red, hand grenades detonated on its roof, mines
detonated under the seats, and 15 kilograms (33
pounds) of TNT detonated two metres (6.6 feet)
from the side door. Its performance in these tests
earns it a protection certifi cation at one of the
highest levels available: VR7.The armoured SUV 200 favoured by

Gutting
The vehicle is completely stripped. Everything on the
inside – seats, fl oor, roof, carpet, headliners and
dashboard – is ripped out, until the vehicle becomes no
more than a frame. It is then ready to be lined with
armoured materials.2
Opaque armouring
The body of the vehicle – including doors, fl oor, roof,
fi re wall and pillar posts – is lined with advanced
protective materials including lightweight composite
armour, high-hardened ballistic steel, Kevlar and aramid
fi bres, and ballistic nylon.3
Transparent armouring
The windshield, back glass, and door glass are all
replaced with fi ve-centimetre (two-inch) thick
bulletproof glass. As it is so deep, everything
surrounding these windows must be modifi ed to allow
