100 km/h approval for vehicle combinations and buses




    	    

		    
Procedure

            			
If no data confirmation is available or can be issued by the manufacturer of the trailer, or if the general operating permit for 100 km/h is only to be determined subsequently, the trailer must be presented to an officially recognized monitoring organization. 

There it will be checked whether your trailer meets the technical requirements for this speed. If this is the case, a certificate will be issued there for the registration office. 

The registration office will then make a corresponding entry in the trailer's vehicle documents and issue the 100 km/h sticker. The sticker must then be affixed to the rear of the trailer. 

The same applies to buses and coaches.

More information
  • If the ZB II is in the possession of a third party (e.g. leasing bank), it must be sent to the licensing authority. The change can only be made once the document has been received by the authority. As a rule, the ZB II is available at the licensing authority 2 to 3 weeks after it is requested. After completion, it is returned to the sender. The costs for storage and return are usually borne by the owner.
  • There is no fixed link between the towing vehicle and the trailer.
  • An inspection of the towing vehicle does not take place. The owner or user of the vehicle/trailer combination is responsible for ensuring that the requirements - in particular the mass ratios - of Section 1 of the 9th Exemption Ordinance to the German Road Traffic Regulations (StVO) are met. At the request of the vehicle owner, the officially recognized monitoring organizations will also prepare a registration proposal for towing vehicles (indication of the permissible total weights of the different trailer types) in accordance with Section 27 of the Road Traffic Licensing Regulations for field 22 of the vehicle documents with regard to the 9th Exemption Ordinance to the StVO, which in turn will be adopted by the registration authority in the vehicle documents.
