Bespoke Armouring for Your Existing Vehicle

Cost‑Effective. Secure. Professionally Managed End‑to‑End.

For clients who already own a vehicle and are seeking an upgrade to B4–B6 ballistic protection, AfricaCarTrader offers a seamless, fully managed solution. Through our trusted freight‑forwarding partners, we coordinate the entire logistics chain—from export to the United States, armouring at a certified facility, and return shipment back to your location.

This service is ideal for customers seeking maximum protection while maintaining cost efficiency. By armouring your existing vehicle, you pay only for the armouring work and round‑trip ocean & inland freight, significantly reducing the total investment compared to purchasing a new armoured unit

How the Process Works

1. Vehicle Assessment & Specification

Our team reviews your vehicle model, year, and intended protection level. We confirm compatibility from B4 to B6 armouring standards and outline the recommended configuration.

2. Export Coordination

AfricaCarTrader works with a licensed local freight forwarder to handle:

Vehicle inspection and documentation
Export clearance
Secure loading and ocean shipment to the United States

You remain updated at every stage.

3. Armouring in the USA

Your vehicle is delivered to one of our U.S. armouring partners—specialists in:

B4 to B6 ballistic protection
Composite armour systems
Transparent armour (ballistic glass)
Structural reinforcement
Run‑flat systems and tactical upgrades

All work is performed to internationally recognized ballistic standards.

4. Return Shipment & Delivery

Once armouring is complete, we coordinate:

U.S. export documentation
Ocean shipment back to your designated destination
Port clearance and final handover

Your vehicle returns fully armoured, inspected, and ready for deployment.

Why This Option Saves You Money

Choosing to armour your existing vehicle eliminates:

The cost of purchasing a new base vehicle
Local dealer mark‑ups
Additional import duties on a new unit

You pay only for:

Armouring cost
Outbound ocean freight
Return ocean freight

This makes it one of the most cost‑efficient pathways to owning a certified armoured vehicle.
