Armoured GMC, GMC / Chevrolet / Cadillac F6-GMC
The F6-GMC offers a spacious and upscale interior without compromising on its off-road capabilities, as it is also suitable for extremely difficult terrain. The vehicle can be individually configured, making it suitable for use in applications as diverse as a tactical emergency vehicle or even a luxury VIP car.
This armoured vehicle can be based on a GMC Yukon, Cadillac Escalade or Chevrolet Suburban, since all of these models have the same bodywork.
The armoured F6-GMC has been certified by the "Beschussamt Mellrichstadt" according to the current VPAM guidelines BRV2009 and ERV2010.

Blasting specification
Protection class VPAM ERV2010 / STANAG 4569
Our armored vehicles are certified, among others, in compliance with VPAM ERV2010 and STANAG 4569. The testing procedures include the blasting of different types of hand grenades (DM51, HG85) on the vehicle roof and under the vehicle. In compliance with STANAG 4569 AEP-55 we also test protection against land mines of type AP DM31 and similar, and against 6-kg land mines. On request, we simulate the effects of a TNT or PETN car bomb blasting on the lateral sides of a vehicle. All tests are performed by state-approved proof houses (Beschussamt) or IABG, a German analysis and testing company.
