HOME / Medium Cash-in-Transit Vehicles
At The Armored Group, we build and configure medium cash-in-transit (CIT) vehicles to align with real-world mission needs, including options with secure compartments, reliable drivetrains, and armoring that matches your threat environment.
Cash-in-transit operations rarely fit into a one-size-fits-all vehicle category. Some routes demand more payload and interior volume than a light van can reliably support, but without the size, turning radius, and operating footprint of a heavy truck. That is where medium CIT vehicles make a difference; they combine practical capacity for currency, coin, and high-value goods with the maneuverability, serviceability, and “blend-in” appearance operators often need in dense urban and mixed-route environments.
A medium-sized and armored vehicle is frequently the best answer for cash-in-transit operations when you need:
Medium-sized CIT vehicle platforms are the workhorses that help teams and organizations stay efficient on route without sacrificing protection, drivability, or practicality. At The Armored Group, they can be customized to meet multiple rating systems, including CEN, NIJ, UL, and VPAM.
The Ford Transit is a global standard for modern commercial fleets because it offers multiple GVWR classes (including 250 and 350 series), multiple roof heights, and a large service network, attributes that translate exceptionally well into CIT use. Our armored Transit configurations are commonly deployed for valuables such as bullion, precious metals, coins, jewelry, and other high-value cargo, with the armoring and interior layout tailored to mission needs.
The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter platform is widely recognized for its cargo volume, payload capability, and flexible wheelbase/roof configurations, making it a strong foundation for mixed valuables transport where secure compartment planning matters. The Armored Group has extensive experience building Sprinter-based armored vehicles, including high-roof variants that maximize usable interior space and support custom layouts.
When your route requires a more compact exterior footprint while still maintaining a professional, discreet profile, the Mercedes-Benz Metris can be a highly practical option. We support varied armoring levels for the Metris platform, giving operators a smaller van format for selective route types, tighter access points, and lower-profile deployments.
The Chevrolet Express and GMC Savana remain favorites in many fleets due to their proven commercial duty cycles and straightforward serviceability. Our 2500/3500 builds can be configured around your target protection level and payload needs; we often advise choosing the 3500 chassis when higher armor levels are required due to the added weight of ballistic materials and the operational demands of CIT configurations. We also offer purpose-built Savana CIT options with armoring available across multiple standards to match differing threat environments.
For operators that maintain legacy fleets, the Ford E-Series continues to be a familiar and highly upfit-friendly foundation for specialized builds. The Armored Group supports E-Series-based configurations in security-focused use cases where durable commercial foundations and straightforward conversion potential remain important for real-world operations.
In regions where route conditions are harsh, infrastructure is inconsistent, or reliability is paramount, the Toyota Land Cruiser 79 and TLC 79 series serve as globally trusted work platforms. The Land Cruiser 79 is a rugged, maintainable CIT-capable chassis used by banks and security agencies that prioritize durability and dependable operation across challenging environments.
The most effective CIT vehicle is the one engineered around your operating reality, and at The Armored Group, our medium cash-in-transit vehicles are designed to deliver a balance that is capable, configurable, and built for the day-to-day demands of secure transport. If you are evaluating armored vans for medium-class CIT operations, our team can help you select the best chassis and specify the right protection level and equipment package for your deployment.
