191. Continuous track
Continuous track is a vehicle propulsion system in which a continuous belt or chain runs around a series of wheels or rollers instead of the vehicle travelling on conventional road wheels. It is commonly used on construction machinery, agricultural vehicles, military vehicles and other machines that need good traction on soft or uneven ground.
Continuous tracks spread the vehicle's weight over a relatively large contact area, which can improve traction and reduce ground pressure. Tracks may be made from metal, rubber or a combination of materials, and their suitability for use on public roads depends on the vehicle and applicable regulations.

Are tracked vehicles recognised in Belgium?
Yes. Belgian vehicle rules recognise certain vehicles equipped with continuous tracks. Agricultural and forestry tractors, for example, can be constructed with wheels or tracks.
Can a tracked vehicle use a public road in Belgium?
It can when the vehicle satisfies the applicable registration, approval, technical and road-use requirements. The exact conditions depend on the vehicle type, its use and its technical characteristics.
Does a tracked agricultural vehicle automatically fall under driving-licence category G in Belgium?
No. Category G depends on the vehicle being an agricultural or forestry tractor used for agricultural or forestry activities. When the same vehicle is used for another activity, the appropriate driving-licence category is determined according to the vehicle's characteristics rather than simply because it has tracks.
