SERCO HAS seen growing demand for its
custom designed events vehicles with the
latest initiative being a mobile bank to be
used as a backup or disaster relief unit in
emergencies.
The vehicle was ordered by a prominent
bank for use in a neighbouring country and
is part of an initiative to provide added
support in the event of a disaster. Should
a branch be impacted for any reason, the
mobile unit will be sent and can take over
the functions which it is fully equipped to
do.
The mobile unit, built and designed
according to the bank’s specifi cations in
Serco’s Durban factory using state-of-the-
art Protec steel panels, has capacity and
facilities for two ATMs and bulletproof
booths for three fully functional tellers. The
injected foam core panels with steel facings
have been increased from the standard to
ensure heightened safety and security.
Further features on the vehicle include
CCTV cameras, ablution facilities, tanks
for fresh and grey water, a kitchenette, air
conditioning, a generator and a fold-out
satellite dish on the roof.
“The mobile unit was built in a relatively
short period of three months, considering
the complex design work, and showcases
our ability to design sophisticated vehicles
and add custom features, equipment and
fi nishes taking into account the client’s
requirements and corporate image,” said
Serco Managing Director Clinton Holcroft. •
