Armored Vehicle Regulation and Varying International Traffic Laws

International Armored Group offers armoring services for Right Hand Drive (RHD) vehicles.

During the purchasing process of armored vehicles, it is important to consider the area of operation due to the varying regulations of the local authorities. Depending on which country the vehicles will be operating in, it may be necessary to use vehicles with right-hand drive (RHD) configuration as opposed to the more common left-hand drive (LHD) vehicles.

IAG Armored RHD Vehicles

In regions such as Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, South Africa, and various countries in East Africa (i.e. Kenya and Zimbabwe), RHD vehicles are required due to the fact that vehicles are driven on the left side of the road. This also applies to armored vehicles, and IAG is able to offer various armoring solutions based on RHD base chassis.

The Toyota Land Cruiser is perhaps the most popular chassis for armoring in the world. The 200 Series is available in RHD, with many variants such as the AX, AX-G, GXL and VX trim levels.

These vehicles combine a high level driver and passenger ergonomics with off-road capabilities. The rugged Toyota Land Cruiser 76, 78, and 79 are also offered in RHD, suitable for operations in rough environments. IAG can armor RHD SUVs from various other makes as well.

RHD cars and SUVs from luxury brands such as BMW, Mercedes Benz and Land Rover can be used by IAG for conversion into armored VIP vehicles, providing optimal security while retaining all of the luxurious features from the OEM base vehicle.

In addition, IAG can provide RHD armored cars based on vehicles that are common in a specific region, such as the armored Toyota Crown sedan. By using a low profile armored vehicle, it will enable the driver and passenger to blend in the local environment without attracting any unnecessary attention.

There are many truck chassis from companies such as Hino and Mitsubishi that are available in RHD. These trucks are versatile platforms that can be used to build armored cash in transit vehicles and armored buses, customized to the required specifications of the client to ensure that the vehicle will be suitable for the environment that it will be operating in.

In addition to the vehicles mentioned above, IAG can provide armoring solutions based on various other RHD base vehicles. All IAG armored vehicles can be equipped with armoring up to the CEN B6 standard, with certain vehicles also available with B7 level armoring.
