SVI Armoured Vehicles opens a office in Cape Town

By: CAR magazine

SVI Engineering specialist and manufacturer has officially opened its second national office in Cape Town. The key consideration to this decisions was made to expand the Mother City as there was a local growth in the armoured vehicle industry.

According to Quickpic, the office gives those interested an opportunity to discuss their armouring needs in person. The office also offers sales, rental and maintenance support. The office is based in Killarney Junction, corner of Blaauwberg and Postdam Rd and all appointments must be made.

AccidentGuru has been an approved repairer of SVI armoured vehicles in the Western Cape for more than a year. All personnel received training at the SVI facility outside Pretoria to instal Stopgun V2.0 kits. This training was put to the test with the very first B6 armoured Toyota Hilux Double Cab built in Cape Town. SVI has approved AccidentGuru as the installer of the Stopgun kits on Ford Ranger and Toyota Hilux models.

Security and mining industries need a cost-effective B6 (assault rifles including AK47 and R1) armouring solution on commercial bakkies to be used as robust support or valuable-in-transit vehicles. SVI recognised this need and developed the semi-discreet, B6 Stopgun V2.0 armouring solution replacing the widely used double-door system with integrated door armour including flat armoured glass fitted in window frames with the option of gunports.

A first for this armouring segment is a fully functional curtain airbag (when standard on the bakkie) to compliment the other standard safety systems of the vehicle. A single kit takes around four weeks to prepare and installation time is only three weeks.

Single Cab: From R 223,000.00 Ex VAT
