A Safe City Is the New Challenge

Modern cities face many challenges, but one stands out as particularly urgent: the safety of public spaces. In the face of growing threats—both accidental and intentional—municipalities, architects, and facility managers are seeking effective yet aesthetically pleasing ways to protect urban areas. The answer may lie in modern technology—and this is where Fancy Fence comes in with its groundbreaking HVM gate.

What is an HVM gate and why is it important?

HVM stands for Hostile Vehicle Mitigation—a technology designed to stop unauthorized or dangerous vehicles before they can cause harm. Today, HVM gates are a key element of security near government buildings, public facilities, plazas, and promenades.

Fancy Fence, a Polish company known for its innovative retractable gates, has developed a solution in this category—an HVM gate that is both effective and discreetly integrated into the urban environment.

A Test That Says It All

To prove its effectiveness, the Fancy Fence HVM gate underwent a crash test at the renowned CTS testing center in Germany. In controlled conditions, a 7.5-ton truck hit the gate at 50 km/h. The result? The gate not only stopped the vehicle but also pushed it back. The penetration rating of -2.8 meters significantly exceeded international standards.

Security Doesn’t Have to Be Obvious

What sets the Fancy Fence gate apart is its combination of performance and design. Unlike bulky barriers or concrete blocks, the Fancy Fence system is integrated into its surroundings—nearly invisible until activated. It’s an ideal solution for places where both safety and aesthetics matter.

Polish Technology for Global Cities

Fancy Fence continues to prove that Polish innovations can lead the way in the field of security. The success of the HVM gate is not only an engineering achievement but also a thoughtful response to society’s real needs—protecting people without disrupting their everyday life. If cities are to be safer in the future, they must also be smart and well-designed. The HVM gate from Fancy Fence is a step in that direction.
