In the world of high-stakes logistics, a Cash In Transit (CIT) vehicle is more than just an armored van; it is a mobile fortress. Protecting valuables, currency, and personnel requires an uncompromising integration of ballistic engineering and advanced security technology.
At Infinity Chassis Units, we are a premier manufacturer of armored CIT vehicles based in Ankara, Türkiye. We specialize in transforming standard chassis into high-security assets that meet international ballistic standards (CEN 1063 / NIJ) while maintaining the vehicle's operational agility.
What Defines a High-Security CIT Vehicle?
A reliable CIT vehicle must balance three critical factors: Protection, Payload, and Technology. Our engineering process ensures that the added weight of armor does not compromise the vehicle's performance.
1. Ballistic Protection Levels
We offer various levels of protection depending on the threat environment:
-
B4 / BR4: Protection against handguns (.44 Magnum). Ideal for low-risk urban environments.
-
B6 / BR6: Protection against high-velocity assault rifles (7.62x51mm NATO). This is the global standard for high-security cash transport.
-
B7 / BR7: Maximum protection against armor-piercing rounds. Recommended for high-threat zones and military-grade logistics.
2. Specialized CIT Security Features
Our vehicles go beyond armor plating. We integrate active security systems to prevent unauthorized access:
-
Electronic Multi-Lock Systems: Programmable locks with remote override and dual-custody protocols.
-
Air-Lock Systems: Prevents the driver and cargo doors from being open at the same time.
-
Run-Flat Tire Systems: Allows the vehicle to travel up to 50km at 80km/h even after tire deflation.
-
GPS & Telematics: Real-time tracking with geofencing and remote engine immobilization.
-
Internal CCTV & Audio: 360-degree monitoring of the exterior and cargo area with cloud recording.
Chassis Options for Cash In Transit
We build on the world’s most reliable platforms, ensuring that spare parts are available wherever you operate:
| Chassis Model | Best For | Armoring Level |
| Toyota Hilux / Land Cruiser | Rural and high-threat areas | B6 / B7 |
| Ford Transit | High-volume urban logistics | B4 / B6 |
| Mercedes Sprinter | Large capacity / Bulk coin transport | B4 / B6 |
| Volkswagen Crafter | Secure logistics and mobile ATM support | B4 / B6 |

FAQ: Understanding "In Transit" and CIT Vehicles
What are in transit vehicles?
In the automotive and logistics industry, "in transit" vehicles refer to units that are currently being transported from the manufacturer or a central hub to a final destination, such as a dealership or a client's facility.
However, in the context of high-security logistics, In-Transit Vehicles (specifically Cash-In-Transit or CIT) refer to specialized armored vehicles designed to move currency, precious metals, or sensitive documents between locations (e.g., from a central bank to a commercial ATM) while maintaining a continuous chain of custody and ballistic protection.
What is the purpose of a Cash-In-Transit (CIT) vehicle?
The primary purpose is to provide a secure environment for the movement of valuables. This includes:
-
Ballistic Protection: Shielding personnel from external attacks (B4 to B7 levels).
-
Cargo Security: Protecting the money or gold from theft using electronic safes and ink-dye systems.
-
Operational Efficiency: Ensuring the vehicle can handle heavy payloads without losing speed or maneuverability.
Are there in-transit vehicles for sale ready for immediate export?
Yes. At Infinity Chassis Units, we often maintain a stock of common chassis (like Toyota Hiace, Ford Transit, and Toyota Land Cruiser) that are either already armored or ready for rapid conversion. This allows for faster "in-transit" delivery to international ports in Latin America, Africa, and the Middle East.
How much does a new CIT vehicle cost in 2026?
Standard armored CIT vehicles typically range from $45,000 to $150,000 USD, depending on the armor level (B4 vs B6), the base chassis, and the integrated security technology (GPS, remote locking, and surveillance).
