ARMORED VEHICLES IN SENEGAL

As political, economic, and social situations become more intense, the need for armored vehicles in Senegal grows. And not just for high-value targets like politicians, military leaders, or businesspeople. Ordinary people also want to feel safe.

As demand grows, more companies are joining the market. But many of these companies are untested or under-utilized. They don’t have the years of experience customers look for when purchasing an armored vehicle. 

SchutzCarr has provided armored vehicle purchases and support for years, giving customers peace of mind in case of firefights, explosions, or other threats.

So, if you think you need an armored vehicle to protect yourself or your interests, keep reading to find out how this type of vehicle can keep you safe.

Armored Vehicles in Senegal

The security situation in Senegal has been aggravated for a few reasons. The north and east of the country have borders with Mali and Mauritania. Mali and Mauritania have high levels of terrorism, which the Senegalese government deems a threat to their territory. 

Senegal has also seen an increase in internal unrest, particularly in the Casamance region in the south. Since the 1980s, the Senegalese government has been fighting an intermittent conflict with separatists in the southern region.  

As these situations continue to develop, people in these regions need ways to keep themselves safe. One of the options to protect themselves while traveling is to purchase or lease an armored vehicle. 

Armored vehicles have specially-designed features to protect their inhabitants from gunfire and explosions. This type of protection is achieved through bullet-resistant glass and reinforced metal panels that can deflect or absorb bullets or shrapnel.

If you’re considering buying one of these vehicles, SchutzCarr is the right option since we’re one of the leading armored car providers in Senegal. Whether you need a stock armored car or a custom design, SchutzCarr can meet the specific needs of its diverse clientele.

What type of protection do Armored Vehicles offer?

SchutzCarr’s armored vehicles come equipped with features to protect passengers and drivers from a diverse array of potential threats. Whether the incoming threat to your safety comes from a gun or explosive.

SchutzCarr uses bullet-resistant glass and reinforced metal plates to protect the vehicle’s body if you end up in a dangerous situation. The metal plates can protect you from many different sizes of projectiles, including handguns, rifles, and shotguns. 

The bullet-resistant glass we use is sometimes known as ballistic glass or transparent armor. Thickness can range from 15mm to 225 mm. A ballistic glass that thick has the capability to resist most bullets. We only use ballistic glass compositions approved by certified laboratories. 

All Schutzcarr models come equipped with armored batteries, an essential feature for the safety of all occupants and the continued usage of the vehicle. 

Schutzcarr models have protection levels garnered from the highest levels of military standards. We base its protection levels on international standards, such as CEN, DIN, NIJ, and UL, which are standards used in North American and European markets.

SUVs

SchutzCarr provides various models of armored SUVs for customers in Senegal. Our top sellers tend to be SUVs, such as the Toyota Land Cruiser 300 or the GMC Denali Yukon. Some other models include the Chevrolet Suburban and the Mercedes Benz AMG G55.

Some customers prefer SUVs because they offer more versatility. With their ability to trek across diverse terrain, they offer buyers more options. SUVs also provide customers with better protection during operation, whether from accidents or targeted attacks.

But some customers need a sleeker or less noticeable option for their armored vehicle. That’s why SchutzCarr also offers armored sedans. These vehicles will blend into the other vehicles on the roads, but they offer the same level of protection as our other vehicles.

We offer our customers the option between some of the most popular sedans on the market. That includes the Peugeot 508, the Toyota Camry, and the Toyota Avalon. When you drive one of these vehicles around, no one will know it’s an armored vehicle—except you.

If you’re looking for an even higher level of protection, you can choose an armored personnel carrier. We designed these vehicles to have the highest level of protection. They are best utilized for transporting troops, police, or security workers through dangerous territory.

Although these vehicles are mostly purchased by governments, private security firms, or other high-value targets, some civilians in Senegal may need them for protection. We offer many models, including the APC MONO-Q 4x4, the APC Shark, and the GER 1.
