Our approach
London Lorry Courier runs a modern, well maintained fleet with a focus on cleaner operation and city safety. We plan routes carefully, recommend suitable vehicle sizes and keep vehicles in top mechanical condition to reduce fuel use and emissions. All work is handled by trained drivers who understand urban access, timed bookings and site rules.
DVS compliance and city safety
Our trucks carry TfL HGV Safety Permits and meet Direct Vision Standard requirements for London operations. Safety equipment typically includes near side and front cameras, proximity sensors with alerts, left turn alarms, Class V and Class VI mirrors and side under-run protection.

We receive regular questions about how our fleet meets London’s environmental and safety standards. These FAQs explain how we comply with the Direct Vision Standard (DVS), operate within the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ), and work towards more eco-friendly transport solutions across the UK and Europe.
What does DVS compliant mean?
DVS stands for Direct Vision Standard. It’s a Transport for London safety requirement designed to improve visibility for lorry drivers and reduce risks to pedestrians and cyclists. All our vehicles are fitted with DVS safety equipment, including front and side cameras, proximity sensors, audible alerts, and appropriate mirrors. Each lorry holds a valid TfL HGV Safety Permit, allowing compliant access throughout London.
Do your lorries meet the ULEZ emissions standards?
Yes. Our fleet meets the Euro VI emissions standard required to enter London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) without paying the daily charge. This means our vehicles produce lower levels of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulates, reducing environmental impact while staying fully compliant with TfL regulations.
What is the difference between DVS and ULEZ compliance?
DVS focuses on driver visibility and safety, while ULEZ compliance deals with vehicle emissions. To operate in central London legally and efficiently, a lorry must meet both standards. All our vehicles are DVS compliant and Euro VI rated, allowing us to travel freely through restricted areas without penalties or charges.
How does London Lorry Courier reduce emissions during operations?
We plan efficient routes to minimise idling and unnecessary mileage, maintain all vehicles to manufacturer standards, and train our drivers in fuel-efficient driving techniques. Where possible, we consolidate journeys and use the most suitable vehicle size for each job to keep emissions low. We also regularly review fleet upgrades to maintain compliance with future regulations.
Can you deliver inside the London Congestion Zone and ULEZ area?
Yes. Our fleet is fully authorised to operate within both zones. As our vehicles meet ULEZ standards and hold valid DVS permits, we can handle deliveries anywhere in central London without delay. Our drivers are also experienced in managing access times, loading restrictions and road layouts within these areas.
Do you provide eco-friendly transport outside London too?
Yes, our commitment to lower emissions applies to all jobs across the UK and Europe. Whether your load travels within the M25 or to a European destination, you’ll receive the same high standard of compliance and fuel efficiency. We also encourage customers to plan combined or scheduled deliveries to reduce unnecessary journeys.
How do I know if my job requires DVS or ULEZ compliant transport?
If your collection or delivery address is in Greater London, there’s a strong chance that both apply. Our office team can confirm this when you provide your postcodes during the booking process. We’ll automatically assign a compliant vehicle to make sure your job runs smoothly and within regulations.
Are all your drivers trained in DVS safety procedures?
Yes. Every driver is trained to use DVS safety equipment correctly, monitor blind spots, and respond to alerts during operation. We also carry out regular safety checks and refresher sessions to keep everyone up to date with the latest requirements.
Can I request proof of DVS or ULEZ compliance for my records?
Of course. We can provide documentation showing vehicle compliance and permits on request. Many of our business clients require this for tender or contract purposes, and our team is happy to supply the relevant details.
