DVS: An update

10 Apr 2024 Posted By Richard Smith

DVS:

Following our meeting with TfL in March, we have written to follow-up with TfL on how we can resolve the issues our sector has highlighted with the DVS specifications.

Our correspondence coincides with the Mayoral Election, where well-established protocols apply on what TfL can discuss. We believe however that technical discussions can take place during the election period, and we will continue making representations accordingly.

In addition, we continue to engage with kit suppliers and installers to inform the issues to be resolved with TfL. We are clear that operators must be fully supported so that clarity on how to comply with the new criteria is established, with the grace period extended appropriately to accommodate any changes.

We’re committed to improving safety standards on our roads, and we'll keep you updated.

As always, your comments are welcome.
