MERCEDES BENZ ARMOURED BUSES

Fast-Craft Naval Supplies provide two types of large capacity armoured buses for the protection of personnel in transit within dangerous and hostile environments:
 

  • 12 seater luxury executive bus

  • 24 seater general passenger bus


Manufactured to exacting high standards using B4, B6 or B6 Plus level products (depending on client preference) and full armouring certification to ISO 9001, the buses feature optimum armouring, with a high level of luxury, not usually associated with large capacity armoured transportation.

To avoid intimidation the buses mimic un-armoured standard production models, and it is only under close inspection that the difference is apparent. The Brazilian manufacturer of the luxury model has been successfully supplying such transport for many years and is one of the world's largest manufacturers of buses, providing full technical support and warranties worldwide. The 24 seater general passenger bus is manufactured to the highest standards in Mexico.

A range of additional options provide the opportunity to create bespoke passenger vehicles to overcome particular country-specific problems and for passenger comfort. Choose from a wide selection of options, from in-vehicle entertainment to the inclusion of personnel armour and gun/grenade ports.
