With the support of London Councils, the DVS forms part of the Mayor of London's Vision Zero plan to eliminate all death and serious injuries from London's streets by 2041.
The vital lorry safety scheme is now operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is enforced on all roads in London, with standards set to tighten further in 2024.
All owners of heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) over 12 tonnes now need a valid permit to operate in London. Those without a permit face a new penalty charge notice (PCN) of up to £550.
