Logistics group chooses Durite for compliance with new safety standards

A fast-growing logistics group in the UK has chosen Durite to help it comply with new safety standards.

The BJS Family of companies runs a fleet of more than 100 HGVs in a range of combinations including curtainsiders, brick cranes, and tippers, providing a range of commercial and domestic logistics services.

The group has invested in Durite camera systems as well as new Durite technology designed to comply with the Progressive Safe System (PSS) regulations in London, with particular emphasis on HGVs (heavy goods vehicles)

The Direct Vision Standard (DVS) Progressive Safe System is an enhanced version of the current DVS legislation from Transport for London, in place since 2020. From 28th October 2024, all HGVs over 12t operating in Greater London must be PSS Compliant. The new standard aims to build on the existing direct vision capabilities by providing truck drivers with indirect vision, meaning the elimination of blind spots.

Durite supplied a comprehensive system of five cameras per truck, brake light cameras, DVR recorders, and live streaming functionality. This integrates with Durite’s Progressive Safe System (PSS) which can always detect moving objects in the nearside blind spot, and directly in front of the truck cab for when the vehicle moves off.

Durite says its PSS is a comprehensive package that uses AI camera technology and comes with a two-year warranty. It also includes an AHD seven-inch monitor, left turn speaker and blind spot warning sign.
