360° Protection

The VPAM 7 Armoured Toyota Coaster Bus is the gold standard in secure passenger transport, purpose-built for high-risk environments where safety and capacity are critical. With seating for up to 18 occupants and certified VPAM BRV 2009 VR7 protection, this vehicle is engineered to safeguard diplomats, corporate teams, security personnel, and aid workers while in transit.

Trusted by governments, embassies, NGOs, and private security providers, the armoured Coaster balances functionality, comfort, and military-grade ballistic resistance—making it one of the most reliable secure mobility platforms for mass personnel movement.

This vehicle is certified to VPAM BRV 2009 VR7, the German ballistic testing standard recognised globally for its stringent protection criteria. It offers protection against:

  • 7.62x51mm NATO rifle rounds
  • Armor-piercing ammunition and automatic weapons fire
  • Grenade fragments and lateral blast effects (ERV 2010 compliant)

Each vehicle undergoes independent testing to ensure survivability in the event of armed attacks or explosive threats.

The passenger cabin is fully armored with large, uninterrupted ballistic plates composed of premium-grade armored steel for maximum protection.

Vehicles are equipped with fully armored doors, floor panels, roofs, and ballistic overlaps, creating an uncompromised level of security.

Critical structural points are reinforced for durability and reliability, while other modifications may be made to maintain vehicle characteristics.

BLS armoring materials are manufactured to reflect the vehicle’s original design while enforcing a high level of security that remains discreet.

All armoring designs are prototyped and subsequently fabricated by our engineers and are proprietary to our organization.

Ballistic standards are tested by accredited 3rd-party laboratories to certify bullet resistance to internationally accepted standards.
