Durite's Progressive Safe System (PSS) complies with TfL's DVS Requirement
Following the release of the Blind Spot Information System (BSIS) and Moving Off Information System (MOIS) technical specifications from Transport for London (TfL), we have video documented the required tests to highlight our system is fully compliant.
We have tested our system as instructed in the specification documents below, and we can confidently say that our system has met all the requirements and upcoming changes in DVS Phase 2.

Question of DVS?
WHEN DO I NEED TO HAVE THE DVS PROGRESSIVE SAFE SYSTEM FITTED?
If your HGVs weigh over 12T, are rated 3 stars or below, and you are travelling or operating within Greater London, then you will need a DVS Progressive Safe System in place from 28th October 2024.
The Direct Vision Standard (DVS) Phase 2 application opens on 24th June 2024. HGVs with a DVS star rating of 0, 1, or 2 applying for a DVS Safety Permit after this date will need to have a Progressive Safe System (PSS) fitted to their vehicle before it can be granted.
From 28th October 2024, all HGVs over 12 tonnes travelling through Greater London will need to have a DVS star rating of 3 or higher, or a PSS fitted if their rating is lower. Operators who can prove they have ordered a PSS or booked an installation, and register this with Transport for London (TfL) before 28th October 2024, will be granted a grace period until January 31st, 2025 to get the system fitted.
