As the world leader in armored prestige vehicles, CARAT-Duchatelet counts sheiks, kings, presidents, CEOs, and other wealthy VIPs among its customers. Before stretching and armoring luxury vehicles, CARAT-Duchatelet engineers remove seats and trim, and scan the entire vehicle body using Metris K-Scan MMD. The geometric 3-D scan acquired by this portable metrology solution forms the basis for drastic vehicle modifications and detailed craftsmanship. The portable Metris K-Scan MMD enables them to ergonomically capture vehicle interior and exterior in one go.

Far away from mass and series production, CARAT-Duchatelet integrates the highest level of security and luxury into prestige sedans, limousines, and off-road vehicles. Currently, over 40 heads of state from Africa, Europe, the Middle East, the Far East, and former Soviet republics are driven in CARAT-Duchatelet vehicles. Next to integrating armoring into VIP vehicles, CARAT-Duchatelet engineers and craftsmen stretch vehicles both in length and height, and create personalized luxury interiors. Today, the Belgian company is recognized as the world leader in armor integration and the manufacture of specialty vehicles in the automotive industry.
