Operators are invited to attend a free-of-charge roadshow providing need-to-know information for fleets looking to comply with TfL’s Direct Vision Standard (DVS) Progressive Safe System, which comes into force in October.

This interactive event, hosted by Motor Transport and Brigade Electronics, will allow you to learn from the experts, ask relevant questions for your business and explore first-hand the latest DVS-compliant technology fitted on an HGV.

Taking place at The Stoop Stadium in Twickenham on 19 June, the half-day event is ideal for operators of any size that need to travel in and out of Greater London.

“We encourage operators to attend this event in preparation for changes to DVS,” said Emily Hardy, UK marketing manager at Brigade Electronics.

“Attendees will be able to see equipment fitted to vehicles and learn how the systems work; witness how manufacturers should conduct the TfL testing regime; and how operators can spot non-compliant systems, as well as hearing from industry experts. This is an event not to be missed.”

The roadshow is completely free to attend with lunch provided at the end, but places are limited, so make sure to register for a place today!
