Details
DVSA earned recognition for vehicle operators is a way for vehicle operators to prove they meet driver and vehicle standards.
They regularly share performance information with DVSA. In return, their vehicles are less likely to be stopped for inspections.
This list shows operators who have proved they meet the standards and have successfully joined the scheme.
There are currently 129 operators in the scheme, and 36 have been removed since the scheme started.
DVSA removes operators from time to time, for example, when they stop trading as an operator, change company status, no longer meet the criteria for the scheme, or choose to leave.
