Combine harvester no heavy transport: escort vehicle is still mandatory

Until now, agricultural and forestry vehicles with a width of 3.26 to 3.49 m had to be accompanied by an escort vehicle if they were to travel more than 20 km. The escort vehicle had to correspond to category 3 (BL3), i.e. such escort vehicles that are used for heavy-duty transport. These escort vehicles are expensive and only available in limited numbers nationwide and only at certain times.
