INTRODUCING SVI LITE
“WHEN ‘SMASH AND GRAB’ IS NOT ENOUGH”

Slotting in below the aforementioned 360-degree armouring packages but well above common smash-and-grab window film, SVI LITE was conceived with mainstream passenger cars and light-commercial vehicles in mind.

SVI MAX SWAT
The SVI MAX SWAT is a multi-role vehicle with the ability to carry a 12-person crew. Offering EN1063 BR6 protection, the MAX SWAT employs a Isuzu FTS 750 4×4 chassis and powertrain (the latter being a 7.8-litre, inline-six turbodiesel engine, here upgraded with a 6-speed Allison auto).
ARMOURED CIVILIAN VEHICLES
SVI Engineering offers discreet bullet-resistant civilian vehicles. Think of armour in a similar vein as other safety systems such as ABS, airbags and crumple zones – technology that blends into the background when not in use but is able to save lives when called upon.

The MAX 9 is our largest armoured personnel carrier (APC), capable of carrying eight and offering military levels of ballistic and blast protection. Sporting a 285 kW/970 Nm Cummins turbodiesel engine and Allison auto transmission, it promises extreme off-road performance.
ARMOURED SECURITY VEHICLES

DRIVER TRAINING
Recognising a growing need, SVI developed a comprehensive driver-training programme with the ultimate goal of protecting lives. Our course comprises five modules that shape participants into highly skilled armoured-vehicle drivers.
ARMOURED GUARDHOUSES
SVI identified a need for armoured guardhouses in remote areas of development. The solution is this B6 level (assault rifle) protected guardhouse. The layout and equipment fitted can be specified by the client.
