Wamar Technologies Armored Truck!

Wamar Technologies is a company that builds something very badass. Excuse my language but that is the ONLY way to describe this vehicle. I cant really go into a lot of detail because of who buys these things but I can tell you that this started life off as a Ford F-450 truck and was converted into this $200,000, bullet proof, 22,000 pound armored truck you see today. Here is some of the info they do provide about their vehicles….

The Design

Wamar is able to armor commercial vehicles to B6 and B7 classifications, which means a vehicle that can withstand an attack from a high-powered assault weapon such as an M16 or AK47 rifle.

All armored vehicles manufactured by Wamar follow a design keep the safety and security of the occupants as a priorty. Our designs feature custom suspensions, secondary protection units and performance packages which can increase horse power by 50 to 100 percent. For emergency situations, we equip our vehicles with gun ports that have a rear drop window set up for automatic belt-fed weapons, in addition to a quick release rear window for shooting or to act as an escape hatch.

Our designs also feature unmatched customizability options, allowing clients to completely modify the interiors of vehicles to meet their needs and to add additional specific security systems, such as infrared lights or blackout systems. Moreover, we pay extra attention to aesthetics, so the final product not only performs admirably but also has a sleek, presentable exterior.

The Manufacturing Process

Our Security and Defense Division follows a seamless manufacturing process that allows it to armor commercial vehicles with superior quality and in record time. The process can be outlined as follows:

* The commercial SUV is procured from its dealers in the USA (e.g. Suburban, Excursion or Tahoe) and shipped to our facilities.
* The vehicles are stripped and prepared for armor installation.
* The vehicles are armored using either B6 or B7 ballistic steel as requested by the client.
* The interiors are then re-installed or entirely modified based on the client’s preference.
* Specific systems are installed, such as infra-red lights, blackout systems, etc.
* Transparent armor is installed, such as bullet proof glass, normally of B6 standard.

Pretty wild stuff right? It is the most original vehicle I have ever shot thats for sure! In the end they were very happy with the photos I provided for use on their website and from what I have been told we might be doing more work together with a new model they are producing.
