Frequently Asked Questions

INKAS® Armored Vehicle Manufacturing specializes in the design and production of a wide range of armored vehicles, including executive SUVs, luxury sedans, cash-in-transit vehicles, limousines law enforcement vehicles and personnel carriers.

At INKAS®, we individually review each client’s request and offer protection level based on their geo-location, lifestyle, and threat level, among other variables. Please contact our representatives to determine the best protection level suitable for you.

INKAS® adheres to various ballistic standards dependent on the region where the vehicle will be in operation. Learn more about the various ballistic protection levels.

When armoring a vehicle, there are a wide range of materials that can be used in order to essentially serve the same purpose. That being, to improve the ballistic protection level of the vehicle and prevent harm to its occupants. While super-thick and heavy ballistic steel can be used to armor a vehicle, INKAS® makes use of revolutionary light-weight armoring materials that maintain protection levels equal or greater to that of traditional ballistic steel, but weigh much less and offer better flexibility.

On any armored vehicle, it’s very important to ensure that all openings are well-protected. INKAS® offers armored vehicles with functional automatic windows however, they are typically restricted to 6” travel distance. This size of opening is large enough to pass packages or documents but also minimizes exposure for the occupants.

INKAS® customizes the assembly process based on the specific vehicle model and level of armoring, so the manufacturing timeline varies. Based on complexity of customization, the production time can take from a few weeks up to several months. For non-custom orders, we carry a stock of most armored sedans, SUVs and APCs for immediate shipping.

The added weight varies based on the armoring material used, type of vehicle, protection level and the original chassis weight of the vehicle. We strive to always find the most optimal option to maintain the performance and maneuverability of our armored vehicles, regardless of added weight.

The costs involved in armoring vehicles highly depend on the specific vehicle’s model, level of armoring, optional features and the amount of special protection applications/technologies requested. The armoring cost may vary from $50,000 all the way up to $500,000 and beyond.

Please contact our sales team regarding technical specifications of your vehicle to determine its eligibility for armoring.

As a result of the added weight, adjusted vehicle dimensions and special features, you will find that operating an armored vehicle is slightly different than a “soft-skin” vehicle. Depending on the requested armoring package, special training may be required.
