Armoured bus

One of the first armored vehicles to be used in combat was the Schneider-Brillié which was built from the chassis of a Schneider P2-4000 bus[1] During World War I, civilian buses were pressed into service, especially by Great Britain and France, fulfilling several roles: to transport troops, supplies, and livestock, and as ambulances and mobile surgeries.

It was found that the windows were frequently broken by troops' equipment, and the glass was eventually removed.

Wooden planks were fixed over the apertures, offering protection from the weather but not from hostile fire.

As a result, they use more fuel, are prone to mechanical breakdowns, have very high maintenance costs and wear out faster.

Its manufacturing facility in the Caesarea industrial park produces a wide range of buses for the local and international markets.
