TVL Security has triumphed in the Aftermarket Accessories category at the 2023 edition of the widely respected What Van? Awards, beating competition from across the light commercial vehicle industry thanks to a collaboration with Ford.
Working in partnership with the vehicle manufacturer, TVL Security has created three bespoke security packs available as both factory options on Ford Transit and Custom and as enhanced security solutions in the aftermarket.
The products impressed the judges for the quality of their design, innovation and durability.
What Van? editor, James Dallas, who sat on the judging panel, says: “Hard-pressed businesses are specifying additional aftermarket security measures for their vehicles in a bid to combat crime and TVL Security is fast becoming a byword for quality products in this sector.”
Securing Ford’s seal of approval guarantees that fleet operators and individual van owners can easily equip their purchase with TVL Security’s SlamHandle, HookLock and ArmourShell Security Packs even after vehicles have left the factory.
To secure Ford’s approval, TVL Security’s technology successfully passed a rigorous testing programme to ensure optimum security performance. For instance, internal test results show that the toughest range of HookLock options withstands the force equivalent to the weight of a rhinoceros and even then it doesn’t fail.
TVL Security’s products are also approved by independent industry certificate agency Sold Secure and have accreditation from the official police security initiative Secured by Design.
Laura Moran, TVL Security’s Managing Director, says: “We’re delighted and humbled that the What Van? Award judges recognised the work we put into designing, developing and building a holistic portfolio of products to help combat van crime.
“The fight is far from over, however. We’re determined not just to continue innovating, but also to develop on the positive dialogue we’ve had with manufacturers like Ford to make advanced security products more accessible.”
