Perfect fit: materials to reinforce the vehicle body structure, and combinations of steel, glass and composites to offer protection.

Patently intelligent: ingenious design and overlapping systems provide particularly effective protection for critical areas.

Mobile in an emergency: special run-flat tyres can still function even when completely deflated.

Special glass: an additional layer of polycarbonate on the inside gives high strength and shatterproofing

Special suspension: reinforced components and a full suspension redesign ensure the safety and ride comfort of a Mercedes despite a weight gain of as much as 70 percent.

From ESP® to ABS: the electronic control systems in a Mercedes-Benz Guard have been newly developed and precisely aligned to the additional weight and resulting change in handling characteristics.

Mercedes-Benz integral safety system included: the Mercedes-Benz Guard models, just like their series-production counterparts, also offer optimal vehicle safety, which makes them very safe in traffic.

Whether ballistic tests, crash tests, or modified electronic control systems – specific changes required for special-protection purposes are explicitly spelled out in the specifications book for a Mercedes-Benz Guard.

Perfectly concealed under the skin of a standard car is a network of protective components which make Mercedes-Benz special protection vehicles safe houses on wheels.

People have been trusting our special-protection vehicles for over 80 years now. We take the greatest pains to justify this trust - and you can be sure that we’ll continue to do so in the future as well. With every Mercedes-Benz Guard. At every protection level.
