Fleet Operators turn to Fleetclear for DVS-2 compliance   

Following the launch of its own Progressive Safe System (PSS), Fleetclear has been inundated with fleet operators seeking a speedy solution to ensure their fleets meet the regulations of the next phase of Transport for London’s Direct Vision Standard (DVS).

As the 28 October deadline for DVS-2 has now passed increasing numbers of operators are being subjected to large fines due to non-compliance.  The new regulations state that only HGVs rated 3 stars and above, or those fitted with a Progress Safe System (PSS), are now permitted to operate in Greater London. 

Long-standing partner and contract hire company Endurance Vehicle Solutions already has Fleetclear safety technology installed across its fleet. When it came to DVS requirements for Greater London it was natural for Endurance to turn to Fleetclear.

Neil Jeremiah, Managing Director, Endurance said: “A lot of our equipment was already DVS compliant, but we had some vehicles, which needed PSS fitted. The Fleetclear team ensured that our fleet was ready for the DVS deadline in London.

“Fleetclear’s equipment is superb and comes with a good warranty. We very rarely have issues, but it is important to us that if there are ever any concerns, a partner will address them thoroughly.

“Anyone can fit a camera system, but it is the aftersales, warranty and support which sets Fleetclear apart. When you have a large rental fleet, you need to ensure that all the technology installed can be relied upon.

“We only use Fleetclear for retrofit work and try to spec their equipment when ordering new from manufacturers.”

Another well-established existing customer specialist vehicle rental company CTS Hire, also turned to Fleetclear to ensure its London-bound HGVs are fully DVS compliant. CTS Hire has already adopted Fleetclear camera systems on its fleet and uses Fleetclear Connect software to monitor and track its vehicle safety technology. 

Shamek Kowslczyk, Head of Hire at CTS said “When we needed to install PSS I didn’t think twice about contacting Fleetclear. The service has always been good and there was no need to look elsewhere. They have everything I need.”

Will Harris, Fleet and Compliance Manager at White Logistics & Storage agreed that ‘it was clear who our choice would be regarding the fast-approaching London PSS upgrade requirements.’

Fleetclear has earned a reputation for designing and manufacturing market leading and innovative vehicle safety systems and software that stand the test of time.  The Fleetclear PSS system provides fleet operators with a simple, fully integrated, and compact solution, which ensures their entire fleet is fully DVS compliant. Enhanced with AI-based camera detection technology, the system comprises both a Blind Spot Information System (BSIS) and a Moving Off Information System (MOIS) for full DVS compliance.

Mike Crowther, Business Development Director, Fleetclear said: “It’s always great to get such positive feedback from our customers and we are very happy to have been of service. Our PSS system is easy to install and provides full DVS compliance. We encourage any fleet operators who haven’t yet ensured their fleet is compliant, especially those at imminent risk of being fined, to call our team immediately.”
