Vehicle Details

Description

Vehicle Description

Are you thinking about an armored Chevrolet/GM 2500 or 3500 cargo van as your vehicle? At The Armored Group, LLC, we offer either chassis with the ballistic protection of your choice.  We advise if you are looking for B4+, B5, B6 armor or higher, the 3500 would be the best chassis of the two. If handgun levels are what you are looking for, then either chassis will work great.  These cargo vans make ideal cash-in-transit (CIT) vehicles for private security teams, government agencies, and other businesses. With a large amount of cargo space, a strong and sturdy frame, and plenty of features to choose from, this armored vehicle will not disappoint.

Chevrolet/GM 2500 and 3500 Cargo Van Vehicle Features

A proven full frame design, plenty of cargo room, and a powerful engine are just three benefits that come with this armored chassis. In combination with our exceptional armoring processes for CIT or standard armored vehicles, your team will have the ideal armored van in no time.

Choose from the 285-horsepower 4.8L V8 engine, 342-horsepower 6.0L V8 Vortec engine, or the Duramax Turbo Diesel engine with automatic transmissions.

The 3500 model has an extra leaf on its rear axle, slightly larger brakes, and slightly heavier axles than the 2500 model. The 3500 also has the 9600 GVWR, while the 2500 stands at 8600 GVWR. The differences between the two models are minor. After you choose your armored van chassis, our armoring engineer team will equip it top to bottom with custom-tailored ballistic protection equipment and features.

Specialty and Customization

One of the best things about coming to The Armored Group, LLC, for armored vans is the amount of personalization we offer on all our vehicles. The standard and additional features we offer for CIT vans, SWAT/police tactical armored vehicles, and personal protection vehicles are second to none in the armored car industry.

In Nato a Standardization Agreement (STANAG) defines processes, procedures, terms, and conditions, for a common military or technical procedures or equipments between the member countries of the alliance. Each NATO state ratifies a STANAG and implements it within their own military.

The purpose is to provide common operational and administrative procedures and logistics, so one member nation's military may use the store and support of another member's military.

STANAGs also form the basis for technical interoperability between a wide variety of communication and information systems (CIS) essential for NATO and Allied operations.

The Technology Assessment Program is sponsored by the Office of Development, Testing, and Dissemination of the National Institue of Justice (NIJ), U.S. Department of Justic. The progam responds to the mandate of the Justice System Improvement Act of 1979, which created the NIJ and directed it to encourage research and development to improve the criminal justice system and to disseminate the results of the Federal, State, and local agencies.

The Technology Assessment Program is an applied research effort that determines the technological needs of justice system agencies, sets minimum performance standards for specific devies, tests commercially available equipment against those standards and disseminates the standards and the test results to criminal justice agencies nationwide and internationally.

The purpose of the Association of Testing Centers for Anti-Aggressive Materials and Constructions (VPAM) is to promote the exchange of experience, mutual assistance in technical matters and mutual information.

Among other things, a common opinion will be made possible in central questions of the testing of attack-inhibiting materials (eg. in the development and introduction of new standards and guidelines).

Members of VPAM are independent and committed to neutrality. the testing bodies, which are members of the VPAM, work according to the relevant quality standards EN ISO / IEC 17025 (General requirements for the competence of test laboratories) and EN 45011 (General requirements for bodies which operate product certification systems.
