Stoof International - Armoured Vehicles

Stoof International is a worldwide-recognised leader in armoured-vehicle production, with a range featuring armoured saloons cars – including a new design based upon the Mercedes-Benz S500 / S600 – all-terrain 4x4s such as the Toyota TROJAN® Land Cruiser and Hilux; VW Touaregs; Cash In Transit (CIT) vehicles; and armoured trucks.

ARMOURED TROJAN TOYOTA LAND CRUISER

The armoured TROJAN offers a specially designed platform providing ideal mobile protection for international organisations on diplomatic missions; humanitarian aid organisations; NGOs; and Foreign Office / Ministry of Defence (MoD) fleet requirements worldwide.

TROJAN VR6-level armoured Land Cruisers and Hiluxs are built beyond recognised ballistic standards and renowned worldwide for their quality, finish and proven track-record in saving lives.

ARMOURED CITS AND SPECIALIST TRUCKS

Stoof International is a leading manufacturer of cash-in-transit / money transporters. Customised vehicles can be built upon request for international central banks and security companies providing these particularly high-risk value services.

Armoured CIT trucks for the regular high street, or specially made vehicles conforming to CEN B7+ level, can also be built for specific demands.

ARMOURED SECURITY LIMOUSINE

Stoof International's armoured security limousine is internationally recognised and available in various levels of ballistic protection. Its main applications are prevention of street-crime and kidnapping, and security in high-risk war zones.

Our armoured security limousine is manufactured to provide a level of resistance against modern day weaponry and technology incorporated into assault rifles, including hand grenades and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) used in urban warfare or kidnapping attempts by terrorists or criminal elements. A Vehicle Resistance (VR) level will allow the occupants adequate time and opportunity to escape and survive a planned attack.

VEHICLE DELIVERY LOGISTICAL SUPPORT

Stoof International provides vehicle delivery support for every order received according to individual customer requirements.

Whether they are diplomatic, cargo, corporate, NGO or privately owned vehicles, our logistics forwarding department will organise the most effective and efficient means of delivery available. By land, sea or air, we guarantee that your vehicle and spares will arrive safely.

Within Europe we can detail a dedicated driver to deliver your vehicles to the required destination. Each vehicle is professionally prepared for a safe passage, with tool kits, first aid equipment, spare parts and loose equipment securely stored in locked containers.

Stoof International has a constant stock of special parts that can be delivered to worldwide locations upon request. Important documentation, spare keys, user manuals and certification can be forwarded upon request using an international courier service.

SECURITY-DRIVER TRAINING

Driver training is strongly recommended after the initial purchase of an armoured vehicle. Only a trained security driver can operate a vehicle safely within its limits and still obtain the maximum performance.

Many international organisations are already familiar with their original OEM base vehicles, but Stoof International provides experienced driver training for the transaction between soft-skin vehicles and hard-skin armoured vehicles. We cover all levels of security-driver training from beginner to professional level.

The role of a security driver extends past controlling an armoured vehicle from point A to B. It is the driver who is responsible for the safety of all passengers whilst the vehicle is in motion, and it is the driver who must respond immediately to any incident; whether this be controlling the vehicle, or driving evasively in the event of an emergency.

It is important that the security driver is educated in the methods and tactics used by terrorists, in order to be able to hinder their objective. Recognising an attack even just seconds prior to it being initiated will help save the lives of the vehicle occupants.
