Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged.

Direct Vision Standard (DVS) – is your fleet ready?

January 04, 2021

From 1st March 2021, all Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) with a gross vehicle weight of more than 12 tonnes will require an HGV safety permit to enter or operate in Greater London. The Direct Vision Standard (DVS) has been developed to address the high number of collisions in London involving HGVs and people walking and cycling. This regulation objectively measures a driver’s direct view through the windows of an HGV cab. The rating, communicated as a star rating from zero (poor) to five (excellent), indicates the level of risk the vehicle imposes to people walking and cycling near it.

The regulations will be enforced from l 1st March 2021, so there is still sufficient time to prepare appropriately. This is where we can help, we have partnered with Vision Track, a leading video telematics supplier, offering the most advanced, innovative, and reliable DVS systems in the market.
