Where does the DVS zone apply?

The Direct Vision Standard (DVS) operates across Greater London and applies to HGVs over 12 tonnes entering or operating within the enforcement area.

Before travelling, fleet operators should check whether their route enters the DVS zone and ensure affected vehicles hold the appropriate HGV Safety Permit and meet the current safety requirements.

Check your route

Use the DVS zone map to see where the requirements apply and determine whether your vehicles will travel within the enforcement area.

Travelling within the DVS zone?

If your vehicle operates within the zone, check its DVS star rating and whether additional Progressive Safe System equipment is required. Brigade offers DVS compliant kits and upgrade solutions to help fleets meet the necessary vehicle safety requirements.
