Direct Vision Standard (DVS)

The UK has taken the lead to enforce the world’s first safety legislation, the Direct Vision Standard (DVS) from Transport for London (TfL), on Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) above 12T travelling through the capital city and its surrounding area, Greater London. This safety legislation is derived from the leading industry safety standard, the Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS); bringing best practice to all operators.

From 28th October 2024, all 0-2 DVS star rated HGVs over 12T travelling through Great London will need to install a Progressive Safe System (PSS) before applying for a DVS Safety Permit.
