Structured disassembly
Interior, exterior, trim, access points, and vehicle systems are opened for armoring access.
Armored Vehicle Build
Armored Vehicle Build Process and Manufacturing
A complete build pathway for transforming selected vehicles into protected mobility assets with controlled disassembly, reinforcement, fitment, finishing, and inspection.Capability Overview
How an approved vehicle becomes a protected build.
Controlled armored vehicle manufacturing, disassembly, reinforcement, ballistic glass installation, finishing, and inspection.
Reinforced protection areas
Doors, hinges, pillars, cabin, glass, roof, and floor are treated as one protection envelope.
Controlled final fit
Finishing, reassembly, electrical checks, usability checks, and presentation are handled before delivery.
Process
A consistent service flow from first review to final specification.
- Vehicle review
- Disassembly
- Armor integration
- Finishing
- Inspection
Service Detail
What this service covers before a vehicle is approved for build.
The goal is to turn a security requirement into a practical specification that can be manufactured, inspected, exported, and used confidently.
Controlled Build Path
Each vehicle moves through teardown, reinforcement, glass fitment, finishing, and inspection with a clear build sequence.
OEM Usability Preserved
The final vehicle is planned around door operation, visibility, electronics, seating, comfort, and long-term serviceability.
Export-Ready Handover
Documentation, configuration notes, and delivery planning are aligned before the vehicle leaves the facility.
Specification Planning
Vehicle choice is reviewed before weight, armor, and mobility decisions are locked.
The armor package is matched to the expected threat profile and daily use.
Optional equipment is planned early so integration stays clean.
Shipping, documentation, and destination requirements are considered during specification.
Service Questions
Clear answers before the project starts.
Can SchutzCarr armor an existing vehicle?
In many cases, yes. The vehicle must first be reviewed for structure, condition, mileage, serviceability, glass geometry, and suitability for the requested protection level.
What happens during the build process?
The vehicle is reviewed, disassembled, reinforced, fitted with armor and ballistic glass, reassembled, inspected, and prepared for delivery or export documentation.
Does armoring change daily usability?
Armoring adds weight and changes some vehicle behavior, so door operation, visibility, braking, suspension, cooling, and service access are reviewed during planning.
What should a buyer prepare before asking for a build?
Share the vehicle type, destination country, protection level, passenger profile, preferred options, operating region, and expected timeline.
