FORS and Direct Vision Standard Solutions
Is legislation the reason for needing vehicle CCTV for your fleet? We are here to help you find the right solution for your business.
FORS is Voluntary – The Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) is a voluntary accreditation scheme encompassing all aspects of safety, fuel efficiency, vehicle emissions and improved operations.
FORS helps fleet operators to measure and monitor performance and alter their operations in order to demonstrate best practice. It is open to operators of vans, lorries, mini-buses, coaches and other vehicles, and to the organisations that award contracts to those operators.
DVS is Mandatory – The Direct Vision Standard (DVS) and safety permit for heavy goods vehicles (HGVs) requires all lorries over 12 tonnes gross vehicle weight to be granted a permit to enter or operate in Greater London.
The scheme was created to improve the safety of all road users, including pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists.
