With the introduction of the new Progressive Safe System (PSS) from midnight on 27th October 2024 for all zero, one and two-star rated vehicles operating in London, Transport for London is taking another significant step towards its Vision Zero target of zero deaths or serious injuries on the city’s roads by 2041. As a business that operates HGVs in and around London, it’s essential to ensure your fleet is compliant with these new regulations. As experts in DVS systems and PSS solutions, we at Simplytrak can help you navigate October’s upcoming changes with ease.
From midnight on 27th October 2024, all HGVs entering London must meet the updated DVS requirements, which now include the PSS. This is phase two of the DVS initiative and is designed to further enhance the safety of HGVs by reducing the risk of accidents caused by blind spots. Any non-compliant vehicles will face automatic daily fines, so it’s vital to take action now.
If your HGVs don’t meet the new DVS and PSS standards, they will not be allowed to operate in London without facing significant penalties. But this isn’t just about compliance, it’s about ensuring the safety of your drivers and the general public. The latest DVS systems and PSS technology are designed to prevent accidents and protect vulnerable road users like cyclists and pedestrians. At Simplytrak, we provide certified DVS and PSS solutions to help your business meet and exceed these requirements.
To comply with October’s upcoming regulations, each vehicle entering London must be equipped with the following components:
Once these components are installed, you’ll need to register your vehicles as compliant on the TfL website. This ensures your fleet is recognised by TfL’s automatic number plate recognition system, which protects your business from any potential fines.
Simplytrak’s DVS kits offer a modular system that covers all aspects of these new requirements. Our systems are not only compliant with the current legislation, but are also future-proof, meaning your fleet will be ready for any further tightening of DVS regulations in the coming years.
At Simplytrak, we pride ourselves on offering more than just standard DVS systems. Our DVS solutions are built to meet the highest safety and reliability standards, ensuring that your fleet not only complies with the law but also benefits from cutting-edge safety technology. Our systems are robust, designed to last, and offer long-term protection against the evolving demands of Vision Zero.
We understand the importance of avoiding disruption to your operations. That’s why our installation process is quick and convenient. We offer on-site installation at your premises, reducing downtime and ensuring that your fleet is back on the road as soon as possible. Our expert technicians will commission and test each system, ensuring full functionality before your vehicles are registered for compliance.
Simplytrak also offers comprehensive support, including a full warranty on all equipment, covering both parts and labour, as well as expert advice throughout the entire process. We’re with you through each stage, making sure you’re always prepared for the latest regulatory changes.
Whilst the October deadline is quickly approaching, it’s essential to remember that the PSS is just one part of London’s long-term Vision Zero strategy. Future legislation will likely further increase safety standards, and our modular DVS solutions are designed to adapt to these changes. By choosing Simplytrak, you’re not just meeting the current requirements, you’re investing in a system that’s ready for the future.
We understand that the October 2024 deadline is fast approaching, and many businesses are concerned about meeting it in time, due to lead times on delivery and the availability of engineers to install the necessary PSS kits. The good news is, it’s not too late.
If you place and pay for an order with Simplytrak before the October deadline, we will issue you an Order Confirmation Certificate. This certificate allows you to apply for a grace period of up to six months with TfL, meaning you can continue operating in London as long as we have your PSS kit installed by 4th May 2025. So, even though the deadline is around the corner, we can help you stay compliant and avoid fines.
Ensuring your fleet is compliant with the new DVS and PSS requirements is about more than avoiding fines — it’s about protecting your drivers, your business, and the public. By choosing Simplytrak’s DVS kits, you’re opting for a trusted, reliable, and future-proof solution.
Our expert team is ready to guide you through the compliance process. We offer DVS systems and PSS solutions with fast installation, comprehensive support, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing you’re fully prepared for the road ahead.
