The company "Euracom," engaged in production in Balashikha, has created and designed a unique vehicle: an executive-class armored bus. The basis for the development was the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter all-metal van of the latest VS30 model.
Under the familiar Sprinter body hides an armored capsule that meets the Br3 standard. This means that it can protect passengers from being fired upon by a Kalashnikov assault rifle using steel bullets.
The development and creation of the bus took seven months. In the future, production will be faster.
The floor is also protected from RGD grenade explosions, withstanding up to two grenades per square meter. The armored glass has a protection class of 3. The tires and wheels are reinforced, with an increased load index and the possibility of emergency running.
The car is equipped with perforated brake discs, as well as ceramic pads. In addition, reinforced brake hoses were replaced. To improve the handling of the car, the suspension and anti-roll bar were reinforced.
The interior is made using leather and natural materials. The cabin has individual seats providing an increased level of comfort (from W222).
For the convenience of passengers, the rear seats are equipped with a microwave oven, refrigerator, TV, washbasin and toilet. The car has 6 seats, including the driver's seat. This means that to drive the car, it is sufficient to have a category C driver's license for trucks.
To protect against drones, a radio-electronic warfare system is installed on the roof of the bus. The armored bus has been assigned a new identification number.
Earlier in Moscow, a unique large-sized "Buran" armored vehicle was put up for sale. It was created on the basis of a GAZ cargo chassis, which explains its impressive size and impressive off-road capabilities.
