Our DVS safe system kits provide your fleet with complete protection against potential hazards and obstructions while driving through Greater London. They also ensure that your vehicles are fully compliant with the Direct Vision Standard, helping you to avoid fines. Features like a camera monitoring system, side and front sensor detection systems, audible warnings, and more.
Everything you need to safeguard your fleet is included in our DVS kit.
The following capabilities are included in the AIDA DVS Systems to assist you in adhering to TfL's Direct Vision Standard and safeguarding your fleet and other road users when driving in Greater London:
NOTE: The Progressive Safe System will replace the current DVS kit as of October 2024, when DVS Phase 2 goes into effect. Get in touch if you are unsure about which kit you need.
Fleets will need to upgrade from the present Safe System when TfL releases its Direct Vision Standard Phase 2 regulations in October 2024.
Phase 2 of the Direct Vision Standard, which TfL unveiled in October 2023, is a new DVS law that modifies the requirements for safe systems in vehicles as well as the standard for qualifying vehicles. A DVS kit is required by law for heavy-duty vehicles (HGVs) weighing more than 12 tonnes and having a DVS star rating of 0 or lower. But starting with Phase 2 of the Direct Vision Standard, the bar for HGVs needing a safe system will rise to three stars.
Starting in October 2024, all cars with a DVS star rating of two stars or lower must be equipped with the new DVS Progressive Safe System.
In order for TfL to achieve its goal of having no road fatalities or serious injuries on London's streets by 2041, the Progressive Safe System—which will provide a safer, more intelligent means of ensuring the safety of HGVs and other road users moving in Greater London—must be implemented.
The requirements for vehicles needing a safe system will change under Direct Vision Standard Phase 2.
The minimum star rating for vehicles needing a DVS Safe System will rise as of October 28, 2024. Currently only vehicles with a rating of 0 stars are required by law to have a DVS kit. However, under DVS Phase 2, a new DVS Progressive Safe System must be installed in all vehicles with ratings of 0, 1, or 2 stars under the DVS star rating system.
Certain operators will also need to apply for new DVS safety permits as part of DVS Phase 2.
Being the top providers of DVS kits we can ensure a smooth transition on time for your fleet into phase 2. Speak to our team for more information.
Adding DVS kits to your fleet can help you avoid a fine in addition to increasing safety.
HGVs with a DVS star rating of one or less must have DVS Safe System kits, and starting in October 2024, 1 and 2-star vehicles must also have them. If an eligible HGV passes through Greater London without a DVS kit installed, they risk daily fines of up to £550.
Our DVS kits not only help HGV fleets comply with TfL's Direct Vision Standard, but they also improve fleet safety in several other ways. The kits' radars and side detection systems serve to cover drivers' blind areas, which helps prevent accidents. Improving overall safety for both drivers and pedestrians.
Installing DVS kits can lower your fleet's operational expenses.
DVS kits can help Fleet Operators in cutting costs associated with their fleet in addition to helping fleets adhere to the Direct Vision Standard and enhance road safety. The safety elements of the Safe System contribute to a decrease in traffic accidents, which in turn lowers the need for expensive maintenance and repairs.
DVS kits also assist in emphasising your fleet's devotion to safety, which, if acknowledged by insurance companies, may aid in lowering your fleet's insurance costs. In the case of an incident, the DVS Safe System's camera monitoring system, when used in conjunction with a DVR, also offers clear video proof, which speeds up insurance claims processing.
