SVI’s ‘battering ram’ Toyota Land Cruiser revealed

With its current project being an armoured version of the new Toyota Land Cruiser 300, local engineering firm, SVI, has unveiled a unique battering ram attachment for the Land Cruiser 70-series.

It’s latest specialty model based on a Toyota after the riot personnel carrying Hilux from two months ago, the new snowplough-like ram dubbed the anti-riot scraper, has been integrated into the central section of the front bumper with the standard plastic item’s flanks now replaced by steel plates.

Controlled by hydraulics via a switch inside the cab, the 100 kg scraper, which SVI claims takes four weeks to produce, can be moved in order to take action based on the “angle of attack”.
