London Compliance Audits: Why They Are Essential for HGV & PSV Operators
Regular audits do more than evaluate compliance—they build resilience into your entire transport operation in London’s strict regulatory framework. Key benefits include:
- ✅ DVSA & London-Specific Compliance – Ensure your fleet meets all licensing and operational standards, including driver hours, tachograph monitoring, and vehicle maintenance, alongside London-wide requirements like the DVS star rating or Progressive Safe System (PSS) installation for trucks over 12 tonnes.
- ✅ Enhanced Safety on London Roads – Reduce risk through compliance with TfL’s safety permit regulations designed to protect vulnerable road users such as cyclists and pedestrians.
- ✅ Operational Efficiency – Optimize fleet routing within London’s congestion zones, LEZ, and ULEZ, improving fuel use and compliance with emissions standards.
- ✅ Risk Management – Early identification and correction of compliance gaps before DVSA audits or London Safety Permit inspections threaten your licence or business continuity.
