BAAVA HVM BARRIER 
 

BAAVA 1800PL: World-Leading Temporary Security & Hostile Vehicle Mitigation Solutions  

 

​The BAAVA 1800PL is a world-leading Hostile Vehicle Mitigation (HVM) barrier, engineered to stop large, high-mass vehicles and protect people in locations exposed to vehicle-borne threats. 

 

Certified to stop an 18–19 tonne vehicle travelling at up to 50 km/h, the BAAVA 1800PL delivers one of the highest levels of temporary perimeter protection available.

During independent BSI PAS 68 crash testing, the system achieved the shortest stopping distance in its class, just 17.9 metres at 50 km/h setting a global benchmark for temporary vehicle mitigation performance. 

​

Designed for deployment at major events, crowded places, city centres, pedestrianised areas, critical infrastructure and high-profile public gatherings, the BAAVA 1800PL provides robust protection against unauthorised vehicle incursions, including articulated heavy goods vehicles and other large commercial vehicles. 

​

Its modular design allows rapid installation and deployment, enabling security teams and event organisers to establish secure vehicle exclusion zones without compromising operational access or event logistics. 

​

Accredited by the National Protective Security Authority (NPSA) and fully certified to IWA 14 and BSI PAS 68 standards, the BAAVA 1800PL provides independently verified protection trusted by security professionals, event organisers and infrastructure operators worldwide.1800 PL | NPSA
