The vehicle armoring process timeline depends on protection level, vehicle type, and customization requirements, with Alpine Armoring delivering armored vehicles faster than industry standards. With over 30 years of serving United States federal agencies and the Inter-American Development Bank, Alpine Armoring maintains an inventory that enables quick starts on bulletproof vehicle manufacturing projects. The time needed for vehicle armoring primarily depends on the desired protection level:
1. Light to Medium Armoring: Armor levels from Alpine A1 (CEN B1) to A9 (B6+) (light to medium protection) require 30-45 days and 200-400 armoring man-hours.
2. Heavy Armoring: Armor levels from A10 (B7) to A12 (B7+) need 45-60 days with 400-700 armoring man-hours.
3. Armored Specialty Vehicles and Complex Projects: Custom builds with surveillance systems, communication equipment, and defensive countermeasures extend to 60-90 days and 700-1,000+ armoring man-hours.
NOTE: Although 4-12 weeks is the standard time for vehicle armoring, it can be extended further due to various factors affecting the duration, including:
We always have a good selection of quick-delivery armored vehicles to meet urgent security needs, while the vehicle customization process for client-provided vehicles begins immediately. The custom armored vehicle turnaround time increases with specialized features, while ready-to-deliver armored cars bypass material waiting periods. Our manufacturing schedule for armored vehicles prioritizes urgent projects by offering priority production slots and rapid deployment services, ensuring the armoring timeline is met.
The bulletproof car completion timeline maintains quality regardless of speed. Our efficiency in law enforcement, ultra-luxury, and civilian vehicle armoring stems from streamlined processes and experienced technicians, ensuring every vehicle meets Alpine Armoring's ballistic protection guarantees and production commitments for safety and peace of mind.
