International recognized certification of pgam armored verhicles
Georgsmarienhuette, October 12th, 2004 –
A car in total armored by pgam advanced technologies AG (Prime Standard, SDAX,
ISIN DE0005138408) achieved first-time certificate of the German Ballistics
Laboratory for the protection class VR6. The tested car, a Toyota Landcruiser
105-APS, armored by pgam was delivered directly ex production line to the
German Ballistics Laboratory in Mellrichstadt (Bavaria) for the comprehensive
test program.
After approx. 400 shots of rifle ammunition (caliber 7.62 and 5.56) from a
distance of only 10 metres, the explosion of two simultaneously detonated hand
grenades under the car and on the roof of the car each, the explosion of a
landmine and the explosion of an explosive charge consisting of 15kg
explosives detonating only 4 metres away (simulating a car bomb attack)
security of the passengers inside the car is given. The car showed no
failures, no ammunition and no penetration by fragments into the car and no
splintering on the inside of the car. Therefore this civilian car armored by
pgam withstood first-time a number of hardest requirements which normally are
only required in the higher military standards.
Test of cars in total for the open market were unusual in the past. pgam had
proven with this vehicle that the full protection based on the high quality
level of the materials used will be given only because of the professional and
leading technology of the manufacturing methods created by pgam.
Presentation of this vehicle on the fair “Security” in Essen and on the
international military fair in Qatar in the past week resulted in considerable
response of authorities and institutions from several countries and in
significant interest of the military sector. pgam is convinced in having
created the basis for an increase in business for the Specialty Vehicles
business unit and expects also significant sales growth in the coming years.
