FFGR Belgium provides armoured Cadillac Escalade and Mercedes S-Class (B6/B7) with or without close protection officers for high-threat principals in Brussels.
Armoured vehicle transport in Brussels serves a smaller but critically important segment of FFGR Belgium's client base: principals for whom the standard threat assessment conducted by their security team identifies ground transport as an elevated-risk phase of their movement. This includes certain diplomatic clients, UHNW principals with specific threat profiles, and corporate executives visiting Brussels during sensitive business periods (M&A announcements, activist investor campaigns, contested elections in high-risk jurisdictions).
FFGR Belgium's armoured fleet: the Cadillac Escalade ESV in CEN 1063 B6+ specification (protection against 7.62mm rifle rounds, fragmentation grenades) and a Mercedes-Benz S-Class in B6/B7 configuration. Both vehicles are indistinguishable from standard executive vehicles externally — no visible ballistic additions, no altered ride height — which is operationally important for clients who require protection without the counter-productive visibility of an obviously armoured vehicle.
Close protection officer integration: armoured vehicles without trained CPOs provide ballistic protection during an attack but do not provide the pre-emptive threat mitigation, route selection, advance work, and immediate action drills that constitute professional close protection. FFGR Belgium's security team integrates trained CPOs (SIA licensed, with backgrounds in UK military and police close protection) with armoured vehicle movements for clients who require the full security package. CPOs operate in plainclothes.
The Brussels threat landscape: Brussels has the highest concentration of high-value targets per square kilometre of any European city — the presence of NATO HQ, EU institutions, the Belgian royal family, and 180+ embassies creates both a concentration of potential targets and a robust Belgian state security infrastructure. FFGR Belgium's security operations are coordinated with Belgian Federal Police protocols for high-risk movement notifications.
Booking security transport: armoured vehicle requests require 48-72 hours minimum for route assessment, vehicle inspection, and CPO briefing. For standing programmes (a principal in Brussels for a week with elevated threat level), FFGR Belgium configures a dedicated security team including advance work for each venue visit.
Security transport rates: armoured Escalade B6+ (vehicle only, without CPO): from €680 per day. Armoured vehicle + 1 CPO: from €1,200 per day. Full protection package (armoured vehicle, 2 CPOs, advance work): from €2,400 per day. Contact FFGR Belgium's security desk for assessment.
