Armoured Toyota Land Cruiser 78 F8-TLC
The armoured F8-TLC offers certified protection against firearms and explosive attacks and never fails to impress with its reliable handling and braking performance. Its robust design, use of tried-and-tested technologies, and maintenance-friendly construction make this bullet-proof vehicle based on the Toyota Land Cruiser 78 a reliable day-to-day companion.
The armoured vehicle has been certified by the "Beschussamt Mellrichstadt" according to the current VPAM guidelines BRV2009 and ERV2010. The protective operator’s cabin of the armoured Toyota Land Cruiser 78 has a modular structure and is designed entirely as a bolted armoured version.

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.

WELP Group standard safety equipment:
Chassis/suspension and brakes
This vehicle only uses reinforced components on account of its increased total weight. These new reinforced springs, stabilisers and shock absorbers increase both driving comfort and safety. Our engineers have completely redesigned and developed the chassis and suspension components, and adapted them to the increased vehicle weight. Even the brake components have been replaced with high-performance alternatives. All wheels (including the spare) feature an emergency running system that allows 50 kilometres of driving at a maximum speed of 50 km/h.
