If you want to set off on holiday with your caravan, you should get a 100 km/h registration for your car-trailer combination. It allows you to speed along the motorway and motorways at up to 100 km/h instead of the usual 80 km/h.
In principle, the speed limit for trailers is 80 km/h. If you want to drive faster with a trailer, you can have it inspected at any authorised test centre (TÜV, Dekra). With this confirmation, you will receive the required 100 km/h speed limit sticker from your licensing authority.
This 100 km/h speed limit may apply to:
- Car and
- other multi-track motor vehicles (e.g. motorhomes) with a gross vehicle weight of up to 3.5 tonnes
The technical requirements are:
- Your car is equipped with ABS
- The trailer is suitable for a maximum speed of 100 km/h
- The trailer tyres are designed for 120 km/h and have at least the speed index L
- The tyres are less than six years old
In addition, certain mass ratios between the trailer and towing vehicle must be observed. Calculating the legally permissible total weight of the trailer is a little complicated. If this legal regulation seems a little complicated to you, talk to your inspection centre (TÜV, Dekra). They will certainly be able to advise you.
In the download area you will find the confirmations of the chassis manufacturers Al-Ko and BPW, which show that all components are designed for 100 km/h approval.
