Escort vehicle
Explanation:
Escort vehicle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
An escort vehicle is an automobile used to escort trucks with large loads, convoys of large vehicles, guide motorists through construction sites, and assist aircraft in taxiing from the runway to the tarmac at many airports.


[edit] Oversize vehicle escorts
Escort vehicles will typically take positions directly in front and behind the truck or convoy being escorted. For overwidth or overheight trucks one escort vehicle will ride several miles ahead of the truck to ensure the road ahead can accommodate the truck's oversize dimensions.[citation needed] This lead vehicle is usually equipped with a long pole that extends upward from the front bumper; its length can be adjusted to match the height of the truck or the tallest vehicle in a convoy.[citation needed] If the pole strikes any overhanging objects such as bridges, overhead signs, or power lines, the truck or convoy can be alerted and stopped long before an accident occurs.

agree  Jack Doughty: Seems to me that a pilot car/vehicle must be in front to lead the way. Escort vehicles can be the same but can also be at the rear & possibly sides as well.

Pilot Car
472. A "Pilot Car" is a motor vehicle except a motorcycle, motorized bicycle, or motorized quadricycle, which is issued to escort one or more other vehicle, when required, due to the vehicles' size or character of load, in accordance with conditions set forth in a permit issued by the appropriate state agency or by a local authority.

Насколько можно увидеть с помощью поисковиков, машины сопровождения обычно сопровождают кортежи с высокопоставленными лицами и т.п.. Однако Ваш случай совсем не таков, и потому полное соответствие с pilot car/escort vehicle.
