Armored cars are usually multifunctional vehicles designed to protect and ensure the well-being of individuals and/or transported content. Often, armored cars are resilient and can withstand extreme heat levels. This vehicle is mostly used by the military, but many companies such as Mercedes, Lexus, Toyota, Cadillac, Audi, and BMW have created armored cars for civilian use, usually to protect valuables and officials. Armored cars have shell and armored cabins, and are usually adjusted on a base van or truck chassis. This vehicle is designed to withstand attempts of robbery and piracy. Bulletproof glass and shells and reinforced cabins are designed to withstand bullets from most pistols and rifles.

Histori

The idea of ​​armored vehicles returning to Leonardo da Vinci's sketches of armored war vehicles, in 1485. It consisted of a circular platform on four wheels with an adjustable outward-looking cannon. This design, proved to be flawed.

The earliest forms of armored transportation for valuables that actually went into production were the "ironclad" treasure trolleys designed by Cheyenne and the Black Hills Stage Company during Old West America. At that time, a platoon of soldiers and cavalry was used to transport valuables like gold safely across the border without law. They do not always manage to escort their valuables and some robbers manage to hold and rob this transport, like what happens in Wham Paymaster robberies and Skeleton Canyon slaughters. In Deadwood, Cheyenne and the Black Hills Stage Company had a robbery along the creamy Deadwood into Cheyenne Street which also resulted in the death of one of their rifle enemies named Johnny Slaughter. To prevent bandits and prevent future robberies, the Stage Company built two armored treasure trainers named Slaughter (after former shotgun rifle) and Monitor (after the famous USS Watch in the Civil War ). Stagecoaches have 5/16 inch thick steel plates, peephole for guards to shoot from, and inside each coach is a strong box with three-inch thick walls bolted to the floor, and is said to withstand 24 hours of attack. Although stage coaches are impenetrable, they still leave their drivers and rifles unprotected. On September 26, 1878, the Monitor was attacked by Charles Carey Gang when leaving Deadwood. The gang killed one of the passengers, stopped the train and took gold and valuables worth $ 27,000.

Among the first armored cars to be built was Bellamore Armored Motor Bank Car, 1910, which was intended to function like a banking armored car today, but also as a mobile bank branch. It was built on Autocar Type XXI truck. It was not until Rolls-Royce came out with Rolls-Royce Ghost in August 1914 that the first armored vehicle was introduced to the British military. The vehicle proved superior in the war, creating demand for armored cars around the world. In 1930, Mercedes Benz introduced the Nurburg 460, which is an armored car used to protect Pope Pius XI. As armored cars became increasingly popular, vehicle manufacturers around the world began to make their own versions.

Industrial business use

The education industry: schools use armored cars to transport money safely made by school fundraisers or cafeteria profits. Many universities have university bank boundaries, and they may require the use of armored cars to handle large amounts of money.

Jewelry industry: many jewelry such as Jared, Kay, Rogers and Hollands, and Tiffany Co. use armored cars to transport their precious jewelry safely to their store. Jewelry works with precious metals and precious gems, and they need to make sure that their work can be safely taken to the person who has ordered it.

Vehicles

A shell and armored cabin are adjusted on the base of the van or truck chassis. This vehicle is designed to withstand attempts of robbery and piracy. Bulletproof glass and shells and reinforced cabins are designed to handle bullets from most pistols and rifles.

Traffic safety and security

Some armored cars in certain countries may be cleaned to light warning lights or sirens. Most armored cars have an extra strong bull or bumper blade for ram blockade or other road objects if attacked. They usually have CCTV cameras that are supervised by the driver, recorded in the van and also recorded in a remote control room in case the tapes in the van are stolen by thieves or assailants.

Access control

A number of tools are applied to prevent access to the van by non-security staff including removing external door locks.

Vehicles may or may not be manned by armed guards. Such armored cars are usually operated by security companies, and therefore are often referred to as "security cars".

Bodyguard

Most armored cars have two to three occupants:

  • A driver, who is normally never allowed to leave the vehicle until returning to the garage
  • One or two guards who provide cash or valuables

Their main task is to stay vigilant, and load and unload valuables as quickly as possible.

Depending on the jurisdiction, the guards are armed. Most guards carry pistols, submachine guns or assault rifles; These guards must have training before they can carry firearms, as well as training to respond calmly and in emergency protocols in case of robbery (confronting armed criminals, assisting injured colleagues and informing local law enforcement), to follow traffic rules and vote safer routes for transportation.

Six EU member states prohibit weapons during cash-in-transit (CIT) operations.

Some were also asked to wear bulletproof vests and sometimes ballistic helmets.

Other uses

Although their primary function as a safe means to transport valuable material from one place to another, armored cars are sometimes used for other purposes. For example, during the 1997 North Hollywood shooting, police in Los Angeles confiscated an armored car to extract injured civilians and officers from the scene near the end of the shoot-out. This then led to the introduction of specialist police vehicles for similar situations.
