Mahindra Armored Vehicles Jordan (MAVJ)

Mahindra Emirates Vehicle Armouring offers wide-range of up-armoured sport utility vehicles (SUV) based on Mahindra, Toyota, Lexus and Nissan platforms with ballistic protection as per client requirements.
MEVA armoured Toyota Land Cruiser 300 is tested and certified to VPAM VR7 BRV &amp; ERV Edition-3, PAS 300, PAS 301, CEN 1522 and CEN 1063.

Civilian Armoured Vehicle (CAV)

Armoured SUVs with advanced blast and ballistic protection.

Our armoured personnel carriers protect crews who work where the threat is: police units on urban patrol, border teams covering long distances, and defence units that need a protected platform they can fit out to the task.

<h3>Choosing between the eight</h3>
The range splits by size and by chassis. Compact carriers work streets a larger vehicle cannot use. Double-cab carriers move a full team with its equipment. The largest carries a crew of twelve.
<ul>
<li>MEVA Marksman &mdash; compact, Mahindra monocoque chassis, for city patrol and quick response.</li>
<li>MEVA Valor &mdash; single cab, Land Cruiser 79, seats eight, for narrow routes.</li>
<li>MEVA Valor Plus &mdash; double cab, Land Cruiser 79, seats eleven, for border and paramilitary units.</li>
<li>MEVA Maximus &mdash; double cab, Land Cruiser 79, in Light Armoured and Light Tactical versions.</li>
<li>MEVA Maqaba &mdash; Land Cruiser 79, for command, surveillance and communications work.</li>
<li>MEVA Lynx &mdash; Land Cruiser 79 with a 3.4-litre petrol V6 producing 415 hp.</li>
<li>MEVA Straton &mdash; monocoque light carrier, converted inside to each unit's role.</li>
<li>MEVA Straton Plus &mdash; Ford F-550 chassis, crews of twelve, V-shaped hull.</li>
</ul>

<h3>Protection levels</h3>
Carriers are built to CEN Level B6 or B7, the European standard for ballistic resistance in vehicle armour and glass, and to NATO STANAG Level I or II. Higher levels are available to order. The level fixes the glass, the steel and the weight the chassis has to carry, so it is the first decision, not the last.

<h3>Fitting out the interior</h3>
Rear seating, communications, cameras and crew equipment are specified per order. Common choices include a roof hatch with turret and gun ports, run-flat tyres rated to Finabel standard for 50 km, engine, battery and fuel tank protection, blast-attenuating seats and a secondary electrical distribution system.

<h3>Where they are built</h3>
Carriers are built at our plants in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, and in Aqaba, Jordan, and shipped to buyers across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Latin America and Asia. Export documentation and end-user certification are handled with your clearing agent.

<h3>Armoured personnel carriers: questions buyers ask</h3>

<details open>
<summary>What is the difference between CEN B6 and B7?</summary>
Both are European ballistic resistance standards. B7 stops a heavier threat than B6 and adds weight, which is why it changes the chassis and suspension specification.
</details>
<details>
<summary>How many people does an armoured personnel carrier seat?</summary>
From eight in the single-cab Valor to twelve in the Straton Plus. Rear seating is configured per order.
</details>
<details>
<summary>Which chassis are the carriers built on?</summary>
Toyota Land Cruiser 79, Ford F-550, and Mahindra monocoque platforms, depending on the model.
</details>
<details>
<summary>Can a carrier be fitted with a turret or gun ports?</summary>
Yes. A roof hatch with turret and gun ports is among the standard options across the range.
</details>
<details>
<summary>How much does an armoured personnel carrier cost?</summary>
Price depends on the model, the protection level and the fit-out. <a href="/contactus">Send us your requirement</a> for a quotation.

Ask the support team

Questions we are asked about support

Support for the life of the vehicle

What customers say

You see the vehicle take shape. We send production and quality updates with photographs and video, and we handle the compliance and shipping paperwork that comes with an armoured vehicle.

While we build it

We arrange the route and the paperwork to your country, and we teach the crew to drive a vehicle that weighs more, stops later and may have to move under threat.

When it reaches you

Our engineers travel to the fleet, or you bring the vehicle to a support hub for work that needs lifting gear. Servicing runs to a plan built around how the fleet is actually used.

While it is in service

Armour, running gear and electrical parts ship from Ras Al Khaimah and Aqaba, and an older vehicle can be stripped and rebuilt for a second life rather than replaced.

For years after

From the production line to years in service

Two plants and a network of hubs stand behind the programme. Find the hub that covers your country, or read what we already do there.
