The anti-riot Hilux provides the security industry a cost-effective option of carrying up to 8 people in areas with a high ballistic threat level. Applications include mining security, moving of guards, extracting people from a dangerous situation and controlling riot action.

This was put to the test as a unit, part of the SVI Secure rental fleet, did duty during the week of unrest in South Africa and it passed with flying colours.

The Hilux solution provides a nimble and reliable alternative compared to large, older-generation armoured personnel carriers at an affordable price.
