Escort vehicle classes
BF2 · BF3+ · BF4 · The authorised escort
Escort vehicles (BF) are classified according to their equipment. This determines which tasks can be performed during transport escort – from securing the route to independent traffic management.
BF2 – Securing
Escort vehicle with warning markings and a yellow all-round beacon. Secures the transport, warns other traffic, and assists the driver along the route.
BF3 / BF3+ – Traffic control
In addition, equipped with a variable message sign (WVZ) on the roof: Other traffic is actively informed and guided. As BF3+, all requirements of Autobahn GmbH can be reliably met.
BF4 – Traffic guidance
The highest class with a large WVZ system. Specially trained drivers in special vehicles ensure safe traffic management outside of motorways. BF4 operate according to official regulations and plans.
More about BF4 →The authorised escort
An authorised transport escort represents the future of transport escort services and takes over all police measures required for the transport.
