Centigon France
customised by Centigon France, for the close protection of high military authorities.
FED 2019 - Centigon France announces
today the acquisition by the Integrated Structure for the Structure
Intégrée du maintien en condition opérationnelle des Matériels Terrestres (SIMMT) of several armoured SUVs.
Presented for the very first time at FED
2019, the Centigon Fortress is an armoured 4x4 designed for armies and special
forces operating in external theatres of operations; the armoured vehicles will
be used to transport high-ranking military authorities in the context of
specific close protection missions. Thanks to Centigon France's expertise in
ballistic protection, the integration of electronic equipment and the
development of mechanical solutions, the FORTRESS 200s retain a discreet
civilian exterior appearance while offering the highest level of armour.
Referenced at UGAP for more than two
years in the multi-purpose, all-terrain, 4-wheel drive vehicle market, with a
GVWR of 3.5 to 6.5T, the vehicle is designed on a Toyota Land Cruiser 200
chassis rigorously selected for its performance, robustness and reliability; it
is easy to maintain in the manufacturer's global assistance network.
"The Centigon 4x4 has passed all
the tests and we are very impressed with the acceleration, braking and passing
performance of the Toyota Land Cruiser. The armoured FORTRESS offers the performance
and mobility expected for the missions to be accomplished," said one of
the Army representatives. "It is through the active participation and
strong involvement of all the players - SIMMT, the French Army Staff (EMAT),
UGAP and the industrial company that has been entrusted with the management of
the project - that we were able to design a vehicle that meets our needs, based
on a standard FORTRESS 200 from Centigon France".
The President of Centigon France said
she was "very proud to contribute to the protection of the high
authorities and thus enable them to carry out their missions in optimum safety
conditions; I would like to associate all the staff at the Lamballe site with
this success, without whom none of this would have been possible.
