Bulletproof Cars in SA - Price and fitment cost, how they're built, attacks and how they save lives

Bulletproofing of vehicles is becoming a big business in SA. In this wide-ranging and fascinating discussion with seasoned vehicle engineer and now Business Development Manager at SVI Engineering, we learn all about this booming industry.

SVI Engineering is at the forefront of bulletproofing cars in South Africa, supplying armoured vehicles to the security and mining industry (mainly Toyota Hilux), as well as out-fitting civilian cars such as Toyota Fortuners and Land Cruisers, Ford Rangers and Everests, luxury Mercedes V-Class people carriers, Ford Ranger Raptors and even Mercedes G-Class/G-Wagons.

SVI Engineering has also made great strides into the OEM space, and in South Africa you can now buy a Ford Ranger or Mercedes V-Class from any dealer and tick the box to have it armoured, and still retain the full manufacturer warranty and service plan, and you can even add the armouring cost to your vehicle finance deal.

And on top of all this SVI also proudly builds full spec military vehicles in SA for sale across the world.

We hope you enjoy this podcast and we'd love to hear your thoughts.
