Armoured SUVs based on Mercedes Benz G-Wagen
- The original standard base car has been in production now for 25 years and manufacture has been extended for a further 10 years to 2010 by DaimlerChrysler. The car is extremely reliable and over engineered, which allows the carrying of the extra weight and a high additional payload, necessary for B6 capability with ease.
- The G270lCDI has substantial torque at very low RPM which gives the armoured version impressive levels of performance as compared to the standard vehicle especially on acceleration up to 70km/h Top speed is restricted to 160km/h due to tyres.
- The cars can be easily serviced in the field by any competent technician, and Mercedes dealers.
- Alpha has supplied multi-volume units worldwide with an absolute minimum of warranty claims.
- The vehicle although Mercedes Benz quality and luxury interior cannot be differentiated from a standard vehicle both from the inside and outside. (The armouring package is invisible)
- The vehicle is a true 4X4 SUV vehicle and not a truck with 4-wheel drive.
- Diesel models can travel up to 600 km between fuel stops with standard fuel tanks.
The fuel system has a factory electronically controlled filtering system to clean the diesel of water and other contaminates.
