The Nurture Group is using advanced vehicle security products from TVL to help optimise security for its new Ford e-Transit electric vans.
The vehicles have been supplied through Northgate, which turned to TVL for the supply and installation of an array of security products to help Nurture Group keep both its colleagues safe and equipment protected.
Installed by ProtectAVan, TVL’s vehicle fit-out specialist arm, Northgate’s order includes TVL’s ArmourShell, which uses an external, semi-automatic lock with anti-drill inserts and a hardened steel locking bolt installed, all protected with a unique, angled body designed to deflect direct hammer blows.
TVL’s HookLock is also onboard, providing the installation of a secondary mortice lock – which works independently of the vehicle manufacturer’s main system – that throws a hook into a specially designed keep, making it incredibly difficult to force apart.
Rear- and side-door mounted ProtektaPlates have also been installed, which not only act as clear visual deterrents but also see internal anti-drill manganese steel plates installed to prevent thieves from accessing the vehicle using work tools.
Completing the build, ProtectAVan has also fitted a low-profile roof vent, grey phenolic floor, a VSWD lightbar, a Mounted Pro Step and a towbar to the 10 electric vans.
Spencer Davi, Northgate’s sales director, said: “We work with each of our customers to develop a bespoke solution for their specific operating needs and that includes vehicle security. The TVL security solution maximises vehicle security for the Nurture Group’s fleet of e-Transits.”
ProtectAVan was able to quickly complete Northgate’s order courtesy of its recent investment in its company headquarters, which added extra working, storage and parking space while enabling the return of ProtectAVan to the site.
Laura Moran, managing director, TVL Group, said: “Maximising vehicle security is critical for companies such as the Nurture Group given the diverse array of tools and equipment it transports every day, which is why we were delighted itself and Northgate placed their trust in TVL Group to keep these new vans protected.
“As more businesses accelerate their transition from diesel vehicles, this latest order underlines ProtectAVan’s ability to work on not just diesel, but electric and other alternatively fuelled vans too.”
