Gareth Llewellyn, DVSA<\/abbr> Chief Executive, has officially launched the DVSA<\/abbr> earned recognition scheme at the Commercial Vehicle Show at the NEC, Birmingham.<\/p>\n

The launch follows a successful year-long pilot involving more than 60 commercial vehicle operators from various sectors of the industry.<\/p>\n

The launch event was attended by pilot operators, audit providers, IT systems suppliers and trade associations.<\/p>\n

How the scheme works<\/h2>\n

DVSA<\/abbr> earned recognition is a new way for organisations with lorries, buses and coaches to prove they meet driver and vehicle standards.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll regularly share performance information with DVSA<\/abbr>, such as their MOT initial pass rates and if their drivers have broken drivers\u2019 hours rules.<\/p>\n

In return, their vehicles are less likely to be stopped for roadside inspections, saving them time and money. DVSA<\/abbr> will still stop vehicles if they\u2019re in an obviously dangerous condition.<\/p>\n

This will allow DVSA<\/abbr> to target more of its enforcement activities at the high-risk traffic who put other road users in danger.<\/p>\n
