London DVS Compliant Lorry Transport

Operating in London means meeting strict safety regulations — and at London Lorry Courier, we take compliance seriously. Our fleet of London lorry transport vehicles meets the Direct Vision Standard (DVS) requirements for operating within Greater London.

Whether you need same day HGV delivery, haulage contractor services, or traction work by London lorry courier, our DVS-compliant vehicles and trained drivers are ready to get your goods where they need to be — safely, legally, and on time.

What is DVS Compliance?

The Direct Vision Standard was introduced by Transport for London to reduce road danger involving heavy goods vehicles. It measures how much a driver can see directly from the cab without using mirrors or cameras.

  • Star Rating – vehicles are rated from zero to five stars

  • Safe System – vehicles with lower ratings must be fitted with additional safety measures to operate in London

  • Applies to – HGVs over 12 tonnes entering or operating in Greater London

Our lorries either meet the required star rating or are equipped with the Safe System, including side sensors, cameras, and audible turning warnings.

Our DVS-Compliant Fleet

We operate a modern, well-maintained fleet designed for both efficiency and safety:

All our vehicles are inspected daily, kept roadworthy, and maintained to meet TfL HGV Safety Permit requirements.

Local Expertise with Nationwide Reach

Being based in Charlton, South East London puts us within minutes of major transport networks, allowing us to serve:

  • East London – fast access to Docklands and Canary Wharf

  • West London – including Heathrow and surrounding logistics hubs

  • North London – covering industrial and wholesale delivery points

  • South London – easy connections to the M25, A2, and European routes

  • No risk of fines or delays due to non-compliant vehicles

  • Peace of mind knowing your transport partner operates responsibly

At London Lorry Courier, we ensure every vehicle entering the capital is fully compliant and permitted — so your deliveries run smoothly.
