9. Fuel Tank Protection: Safeguarding Vital Mobility
Fuel tank protection is a critical safety feature in armored vehicles. Modern armored cars use lightweight, self-sealing coatings that comply with strict fire-resistance standards to prevent leaks if the tank is punctured. Some tanks are filled with explosion-suppressant foam or lined with multi-layered ballistic materials like Kevlar composites, minimizing the risk of fire or explosion. This ensures that even under attack, the vehicle’s mobility is preserved, and occupant safety is maintained.
