Mercer & Dunbar’s very first armored car outlived its own truck. A 1923 Federal supplied its first set of wheels. When that chassis wore out, the steel body found a second working life on a 1937 International.
In this business, the shell could be worth saving even when the truck beneath it was finished. Bellamore’s 1910 design had already paired secure transport with another ambition: a bank branch that came to you.
Brink’s built its reputation over generations. The company began moving luggage by horse and wagon in 1859, then carried its first cash shipment in 1891: six bags of silver dollars. During the Great Depression, a truck bearing its name was said to reassure worried depositors outside a bank. In 1956, James Dunbar Sr. opened Federal Armored Express in Baltimore with a single GMC armored truck.
Today, electric power is finding its way beneath the steel. Loomis says its trucks stay running throughout each route, spending roughly half that time idling. That helped make the case for adding electric armored trucks built by Xos.
