A protective buffer 1 on the rear of a vehicle 2 comprises a sealed protected passageway between the rear of the vehicle and an opening in a wall of a building (fig 5) or an opening in another vehicle (fig 6) against which the vehicle can be reversed. The protective buffer is detachably attached to the rear of a vehicle. The buffer comprises an inner layer 10, an outer protective layer 12 and a reinforced layer 11 sandwiched between the inner and outer layers. The reinforced layer 11 can be bulletproof such as carbon fibre or sheet steel as an armoured shield. The inner layer 10 is a continuous layer extended essentially around the whole outer edge of the top and sides of the rear of the vehicle and can be constructed of fibreglass, carbon fibre, steel or aluminium. The outer protective layer 12 can be compressive weather resistant elastomer material or biodegradable natural rubber. An upper section (1a, fig 3) extends horizontally along the top of the rear of the vehicle and two side sections 1b (1c, fig 3) extends vertically down along each side of the rear of the vehicle into which rear light are set. A separate buffer section 1d extends horizontally below a structural T-bar at the rear of the vehicle 2. |
