The roadshow, presented by Motor Transport in collaboration with Brigade Electronics, is an essential opportunity for operators aiming to align with the Direct Vision Standard (DVS). This event not only educates attendees on the impending DVS requirements effective from October but also provides an interactive platform to explore compliant technologies.
Taking place on the 19th of June at The Stoop Stadium, Twickenham, the half-day session is structured to benefit operators, irrespective of fleet size, who manoeuvre through Greater London. The strategic timing and location make it convenient for operators to attend and update themselves on the necessary compliance measures.
Participants will gain hands-on exposure to the latest DVS-compliant technology fitted on heavy goods vehicles (HGVs). Emily Hardy, UK marketing manager at Brigade Electronics, emphasised the event’s importance as an unparalleled learning opportunity. She stated: ‘Attendees will be able to see equipment fitted to vehicles and learn how the systems work; witness how manufacturers should conduct the TfL testing regime and how operators can spot non-compliant systems’.
The agenda is comprehensive, starting with refreshments and networking to facilitate interaction among attendees. Key sessions include a spotlight on the ‘Direct Vision Standard 2024’ led by James Ashford from Brigade Electronics, thus keeping the delegates abreast of changes. John Moriarty from FM Conway and Geraint Davies from FORS will share their insights on safe urban driving and the integration of DVS principles respectively. These sessions provide crucial knowledge for fleet managers and operators.
Additionally, the event will culminate in a panel discussion focusing on the challenges and action points regarding DVS implementation within the operators’ fleets. This session is designed to address specific issues faced by the operators and offer collective solutions.
Concluding the event, participants will be treated to a networking lunch, allowing them to further discuss insights and forge beneficial connections.
This roadshow represents a pivotal opportunity for fleet operators to ensure their compliance with the upcoming DVS regulations.
