Alpine Armoring Unveils First-Ever Armored Electric Pickup Truck

CHANTILLY, VA, UNITED STATES, September 25, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Alpine Armoring today announced the launch of the Typhoon®, a new electric armored pickup truck. Built on the Ford F-150 Lightning chassis, the Typhoon® armored EV pickup truck is the first vehicle of its kind to be armored to Alpine Level A9 (CEN B6+) ballistic protection standards.

The vehicle combines electric mobility with ballistic protection, offering up to 580 horsepower with zero emissions through Ford’s dual eMotor system. Designed for quiet operation and long-range travel, the Typhoon® aims to meet growing demand for secure and sustainable armored transportation.

The Typhoon® armored EV pickup truck features Alpine Armoring’s certified ballistic materials throughout key structural areas, including doors, pillars and body panels. All original windows have been replaced with multi-layered ballistic glass, including a custom transparent sunroof. At Level A9 (CEN B6+), it withstands rounds from 7.62x39 (AK), 5.56x45 (AR-15), and 7.62x51 (M80) rifles, with floor protection against up to two DM51 hand grenades.

Fred Khoroushi, CEO of Alpine Armoring, said, "Besides being a high-performance EV, the Typhoon® is a testament to our dedication to excellence in both security and sustainability. We designed this truck not only to meet our clients' needs but to set a new benchmark in our industry."

The interior offers leather seating, advanced connectivity, and a digital interface, maintaining the Ford Lightning’s spacious layout. Optional features include two-way intercoms, multi-siren systems, satellite phones, Starlink Wi-Fi, night vision cameras, and secure weapon vaults.

The vehicle's conversion includes run-flat tire inserts, upgraded heavy-duty suspension, reinforced doors and hinges, and an enhanced braking system to accommodate the added weight of the armoring.
