Armoured vehicles for hire, for sale and built to specification.

PTC Specialised Vehicles designs, manufactures, leases, repairs and sells armoured vehicles, from discreet executive sedans to personnel carriers and cash-in-transit trucks. South African, operating globally, with protection from B4 to B7.

A civilian armoured vehicle must not look out of the ordinary.

We armour low and high-profile civilian vehicles that carry government officials, heads of state, VIPs and executives, with no major difference from the standard vehicle's appearance.

We also supply armoured personnel carriers and tactical support equipment for troops, contractors, staff, relief workers and anti-riot personnel, and cash-in-transit vehicles for moving valuables.
