Armored Cash-in-Transit Vehicles for Banks in Africa
B6 armored cash carriers, vaulted vans and cash trucks for banks, central banks and CIT operators in Nigeria, Kenya, DRC, Senegal, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana and Tanzania. Vault construction, time-delay locking and crew separation to operator specification.
Threat picture
What a CIT run has to survive
Cash movement is the most predictable target there is: fixed pick-up points, fixed windows, visible vehicles. The build assumes the attack is planned.
01
Armed robbery at pick-up
Branch forecourts and ATM sites are the attack point. Crew doors, gun ports and hatch layout are specified so the crew is never exposed on foot longer than necessary.
02
Vault attack
Separate vault construction with time-delay locks means the cash stays secured even when the cab is compromised.
03
Ramming and forced stop
Reinforced chassis mounts, run-flat inserts and protected engine bay keep the vehicle mobile after impact.
04
Insider risk
Compartment separation, independent locking and camera provisions limit what any single crew member can access.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
01Is the vault separate from the crew cab?
Yes. The vault is a separate structure with its own locking, so cash stays secured even if the cab is compromised.
02What locking systems are available?
Time-delay locks, dual-control access and compartment separation, specified to the operator’s cash-handling procedure.
03Which build suits branch and ATM routes?
A city van. It handles narrow forecourts and frequent stops, with crew doors positioned to limit exposure on foot.
04Can you deliver a full CIT fleet?
Yes. Fleet orders are built to one specification, which keeps crew training, spare parts and servicing common.
05Do the vehicles meet insurer requirements?
Each build ships with VPAM and CEN test certificates, which is what insurers and central bank tenders ask for.
