Land Rover: Play it safe with the 110
SPECIAL PROTECTION Specialists from the Trasco company exclusively equip the Land Rover Defender 110 with lightweight A-KIP protection against bullets and explosions. The optimizations are not visible at first glance.
The Land Rover Defender is already robust by nature. As a special protection vehicle with light armor to protect against bullets and explosions, it now offers even more safety. For this special version, Jaguar Land Rover has teamed up with a renowned supplier of special protection vehicles: Trasco Bremen GmbH converts the Defender 110 for customers with increased security requirements, with details that are barely noticeable from the outside.
Special materials for personal protection
The A-KIP concept developed by Trasco stands for Anti-Kidnapping. Behind it is a lightweight construction concept that allows as much protection as possible - while largely preserving the body design.
Conversions include the integration of special steel, glass or composite materials.
This means that government customers as well as companies or wealthy private individuals receive a particularly safe vehicle that complies with the ballistic protection classes VPAM 4 or VPAM 6 of the European Association of Testing Bodies for Attack Resistant Materials and Constructions (VPAM).
Additional window behind the second row of seats
VPAM-certified materials are used on the windshield, doors, door glazing, roof and footwells. There is also a new, ballistically optimized rear end with a window behind the second row of seats. The Defender 110 as a special protection vehicle can also be equipped with further safety features.
These include a fire extinguishing system for the engine compartment or a blue light integrated into the radiator grille as well as a siren, an intercom system, tires with run-flat properties or a self-sealing fuel tank.
