MB RUS JSC presents armoured version of Foton View van

AO «MB RUS», the exclusive distributor of Foton pickups and vans in Russia, is expanding the brand's range of light commercial vehicles. Following the all-metal Foton View van, an armoured version has been introduced to the market, developed by the distributor in collaboration with a domestic body manufacturer. The new model is available to order from July 2026.

The factory van, with a gross weight of 3,495 kg, has technical specifications that allow for complex retrofitting without exceeding the vehicle's permissible loads or compromising its residual payload capacity. The body and glazing of the armoured Foton View have been reinforced and can meet ballistic protection classes Br1, Br2, and Br3. The vehicle is designed for transporting valuable goods, as well as for use by cash-in-transit services, security organisations, and special transport units operating under heightened safety requirements.

The vehicle can be equipped with a multimedia system featuring a 360-degree camera, heated steering wheel, heated driver's seat, heated rear-view mirrors, and air conditioning, as well as electronic assistants: blind spot monitoring, forward collision warning, and lane departure warning systems. This ensures the vehicle remains comfortable and intuitive for daily use, which is particularly important for drivers working on busy urban routes.

"The Russian market needs not only versatile vans for urban logistics but also specialised solutions for tasks where safety is of paramount importance. The armoured Foton View retains the manoeuvrability, comfort, and technological sophistication of the base model while offering an additional layer of protection for transporting valuable goods and operating in high-risk environments. We see potential for this modification among cash-in-transit services, security firms, financial institutions, and corporate clients who value a balance of protection, practicality, and operational efficiency," commented Alexander Parshutin, Brand Director of FOTON at AO «MB RUS».
