Pitagone UK specialises in mobile Hostile Vehicle Mitigation systems designed to protect people, places and public life. Our solutions are engineered for real world conditions, tested in fully operational settings and deployed across events, venues and public spaces where safety, accessibility and confidence matter.
We support councils, organisers and venue operators in meeting modern security expectations without compromising how places function or feel.

What is Hostile Vehicle Mitigation?
Hostile Vehicle Mitigation, often referred to as HVM, is the process of reducing the risk posed by vehicles that could be used deliberately or unintentionally to cause harm in public spaces. This can range from low level incidents such as loss of control or vandalism, through to more serious vehicle borne attacks in crowded environments.
Effective HVM goes beyond simple stopping power. It requires an understanding of the specific threat profile of a location, the surfaces and ground conditions involved, how pedestrians move through the space, and how authorised vehicles will continue to access it. It also considers how protective measures sit within the day to day function of a place, ensuring safety is achieved without creating unnecessary barriers to movement or public life.
In modern public space and event planning, HVM has become an increasingly important consideration. Solutions work best when they are proportionate to the risk, tested in real operational conditions and appropriate to the environment they are protecting. As Protect Duty continues to shape expectations across the UK, many organisations are taking a more considered, informed approach to how vehicle mitigation fits within their wider safety planning, focusing on reassurance, practicality and long term confidence.
Mobile HVM Systems
Pitagone’s mobile HVM barriers are engineered and manufactured in Belgium and tested in fully operational configurations. Each system is designed to be rapidly deployable, adaptable to different surfaces and capable of stopping vehicles with a disabled engine and no restart possible
Our barriers provide a scalable approach to risk, allowing sites to select the appropriate level of protection based on threat, environment and operational needs.
Our Solutions
Every site brings its own set of challenges, from how people arrive and move through a space to the level of risk that needs to be managed. That is why Pitagone approaches Hostile Vehicle Mitigation through complete solutions rather than individual products, focusing on what will work best in practice, not just in theory.
We support a wide range of public space protection scenarios, working closely with clients to identify systems that are appropriate to their environment, easy to operate and aligned with wider safety responsibilities.
