Armor Specifications

Prakash Body Construction Company (PBC) uses the most technologically advanced material for their armored cars. PBC armored passenger vehicles are able to withstand a wide variety of attacks. To learn more about our differing protection levels, please review our ballistic page. On this page you will find just some of the cutting edge technology that goes into an PBC vehicle.

Transparent Armor (Glass): Referred to as Lightweight Transparent Armor is the material used by PBC for armoring the glass in all its vehicles. This glass provides a superior level of protection against the toughest security concerns, from random acts of street violence to Head of State protection. This is done to absorb the energy and penetration from various ballistic threats through a process known as "controlled de-lamination." The inner layer of polycarbonate is used to prevent spalling (fragment release - bullet, jacket or glass) upon ballistic impact.

The glasses we use are:

  • Distortion Free
  • Looks identical to original vehicles glass - maintains original appearance
  • Lighter and thinner than all-glass laminates or air-gap designs
  • Unaffected by temperature fluctuations
  • Offers dependable protection against a variety of lethal weapons

Run Flat Tires: PBC can modify all existing tires in an armored vehicle with Run Flat tire inserts. The Run Flat Tire inserts allows the vehicle to travel up to 60 miles/hr (depending on road conditions) on deflated tires. This insert is composed of a ballistic rubberized plastic “roller” ring that is designed, molded and installed inside each tire around the rim. Once the tires are deflated, the solid rubber ring acts as a backup tire, becoming an airless spare within the tire.

Suspension: The suspension of the vehicle (including shocks, springs and/or sway bars), along with the brakes should be modified when a vehicle is armored. International Armoring Corporation recommends its clients begin the armoring process with a heavier duty vehicle. This will help with the modification process of upgrading the suspension, shocks and brakes later on. The modification is done with a standard package that may vary depending on the needs of the client.

Bumpers: Dual Ram Bumpers can be added to a client’s armored vehicle. They are concealed behind both the front and the rear bumpers. This option allows each vehicle to ram its way out of a dangerous situation without causing inoperable damage to the armored vehicle. In addition, this modification prohibits corners of the vehicle from being rammed into the tires, thus making the armored vehicle inoperable.

3rd Hinge Door Support: 3rd Hinge Door support is added to level B7 armored vehicles and whenever possible. A complete door structure modification is done to support any weight added by the armor material. This includes reinforcement of pillar posts and hinges. All modification in the door is done to help the armored door maintain its original functionality.

We also undertake repairing & re-finish old bullet-proof vehicles to new.
