Key facts

Protection level	B-level ballistic protection to the Chinese public-security standard
Crew	Ten personnel including driver and commander
Base chassis	High-mobility off-road chassis with reinforced suspension and run-flat capability
Body	Welded armored steel hull with overlapping panel joints and protected glazing
Tactical features	Firing ports, roof hatch, ram bar, external storage for entry equipment
Delivery	Complete vehicle with driver and operator familiarisation

An armored personnel carrier is a system, not a heavy body on a truck. The protection has to be continuous: a B-level hull is only B-level if the door seals, the window frames, the roof hatch and the floor joints all hold the same standard. Gaps at the joints are where the whole specification collapses, and they are exactly what buyers cannot see in a photograph.

The Zhenhu hull is welded armored steel with overlapping joints, and the glazing is protected to match the hull rather than to look impressive. The interior is arranged for ten: a driver and commander forward, a rear bench for the assault team, weapon and equipment stowage that does not become a projectile under braking, and firing ports positioned for the seated posture rather than a standing one.

Mobility matters as much as protection. A heavily armored vehicle that cannot climb a kerb or cross a ditch is a fixed position. The chassis runs reinforced suspension, run-flat inserts and a ram bar, so the vehicle can push through a barrier and keep going rather than stopping to become a target.

Questions buyers ask

What exactly does B-level protection stop?

B-level is a defined ballistic standard; the exact threat profile it defeats should be confirmed against your procurement specification. We supply the test documentation for the hull and glazing so your evaluation team can verify it rather than take our word.

Can the protection level be increased?

Higher protection is achievable but it adds mass, which changes braking, suspension and mobility. We will tell you honestly when the chassis is at its limit rather than sell an upgrade that makes the vehicle undriveable.

Is the vehicle export-controlled?

Armored vehicles are controlled items in many jurisdictions. Buyers must provide end-user documentation, and we will not proceed without it. Please state the end user and the destination at first contact.

How many can be delivered at once?

The line is order-driven and can build in batches. Delivery schedule is set in the contract once the specification and end-user documentation are complete.
