Vehicles

  • Abnormal Loads

    The Abnormal Loads Group is for members who specialise in the transport of wide, long or heavy loads, which require special markings, possible attendants or need to be escorted. Some of these movements may fall within the C&U Regulations but many may well be subject to a Special Type General Order.

  • ABS Warning Lamps

    Following strong lobbying by the RHA and other trade associations, DVSA implemented changes to roadside enforcement policy, downgrading its response to situations where a yellow ABS warning lamp illuminates during a journey.

  • Conspicuity Markings

    From 10 July 2011, newly approved types of heavy goods vehicles operating in the UK with a mass over 7.5 tonnes and trailers with a mass over 3.5 tonnes, were required by law to be fitted with retro-reflective vehicle safety markings.

  • Vehicle Emissions

    Efficiency and environmental impact are the two most pressing issues to challenge the road haulage industry in many decades. Although road haulage has a core culture of safe, fuel-efficient driving, which is helping to limit emissions of CO2 and pollutants and keep costs down, more can still be done.

  • Vehicle Security

    Thousands of trucks are stolen every year in the UK, costing insurance companies up to £1 billion. Even a tiny share of this can spell disaster for an operator and negatively impact on profit, client goodwill and securing future contracts. Therefore, it is essential for operators to take security seriously and not treat it as an afterthought.
