Armoured Project Vehicles (APV) is a European supplier providing armoured Toyota vehicles to the UN, peacekeeping forces and humanitarian organisations worldwide. All vehicles are produced in NATO-approved facilities. APV has developed a focus on the requirements of the special forces, long-range monitoring patrols, command vehicles and VIP staff protection. Toyota general specification platforms ensure durability and straightforward field maintenance.
APV provides units based on Toyota Land Cruiser platforms for both 100 series SUV station wagons and Land Cruiser 79 pick-ups with either turbo-charged diesel or petrol engines.
THE PEACEKEEPER: B6 CERTIFIED ARMOURED TOYOTA LAND CRUISER
The Peacekeeper Toyota Land Cruiser is armoured to B6 level and fitted with key options according to each customer’s specific requirements. Based on the fully certified unit, the Peacekeeper enables buyers to tailor the vehicle to their specific needs by including design changes and incorporating extra equipment. This product has been constructed to include Electronic Counter-Measure (ECM) equipment.
Additionally, HF, UHF, VHF and satellite communications equipment has also been incorporated as well as differential locks to increase performance and enhanced blast protection for occupants. The Peacekeeper is built in close conjunction with APV and custom finished to meet the exacting demands of a modern stabilisation force.
The B6 certified Toyota Land Cruiser has gone through the full vehicle B6 ballistics and blast test certification process. An independent evaluation was conducted by the German government testing authority, Beschussamt Munich, involving 400 rounds targeted at the test vehicle to asses the protection level.
The B6 protocol tests not just the materials used to armour the vehicle, but most importantly the design and integration of the materials into the vehicle platform. The blast test simulates an attack by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) and uses 15kg of high explosive placed 15m from the vehicle.
The Toyota Land Cruiser B6 is a protected vehicle fairly priced for customers who must satisfy protection levels within budget constraints.
MAINTENANCE AND DRIVING TRAINING COURSES
Toyota Gibraltar Stockholdings (TGS) provide training seminars and courses in maintenance, fleet and workshop management, off-roading and expeditions.
In recent years TGS has run a number of training seminars (in Sierra Leone, Chad, and Germany to name a few) where customers have been invited to take part in a series of workshops over a one or two day period with the aim of increasing their expertise, particularly in the areas of basic vehicle maintenance, accessorisation, winching and off-road driving. These courses are conducted in several languages.
Any driver operating a vehicle in an environment that exposes them to natural and social hazards would benefit from professional training in order to safeguard themselves, their colleagues and their equipment. In response to this TGS are now offering specialised training courses to all of our customers.
CONTAINER FREIGHT AND AIRLIFT DELIVERY
APV is fully experienced in the international movement of cargo by container freight and airlifts for faster emergency delivery.
Once a vehicle order has been processed, a computer generated freight booking is sent to the respective shipping line and they are requested to confirm acceptance of our booking within 24 hours.
Additionally, we operate a computer driven vehicle tracking system which allows us to monitor the journey of your vehicle and keep you informed of its location and status. Once a freight booking has been established with the shipping line, you are informed about the key stages of the shipping schedule in the form of a shipping update.
APV prides itself on the quality of its aftersales service. An armoured unit is a complex machine and as such APV maintains close contact with users to ensure 100% serviceability. APV’s technical backup is second to none and calls upon a network of service partners to ensure that help is always available should it be necessary.
