The trucks for sale on these pages either hold a rating of direct vision three stars or above, which means that they automatically qualify for a permit to enter London OR they have a suitable DVS kit fitted and the permit applied for.
Please note that a truck that has a kit and approval for the first stage WILL NOT comply for stage 2 from October 2024. Any trucks with zero, one or two star ratings (and there are lots of them) will have to have a new or revised DVS kit fitted and the operator must photograph the vehicle and upload these as part of the application.
