Post-Brexit UK vehicle approval challenges manufacturers & operators. Understand key issues & how to navigate them.

On 14th February this year, the DfT changed legislation to allow for and encourage the use of safer and more environmentally-friendly HGVs on the UKs roads.

HGV and LGV operators need to prepare for new rules for transporting goods to or through Europe from 2022.

London's Direct Vision Standards begin Oct 26, 2020. HGVs over 12T need safety permits. Check ratings, retrofit gear if zero. Apply to avoid fines. Don-Bur can assist.

From 28 March 2019, you must register commercial trailers over 750kg and all trailers over 3,500kg before they can travel through countries that have ratified the 1968 Vienna Convention on Road Traffic.

As of the 14th July 2018, HGV trailers are no longer to be issued with a physical MOT plate.

Whether you like it or not, VECTO (Vehicle Energy Consumption Calculation Tool) will be upon us from 2019.
