Final Report - Inspection Standards for Hybrid Electric and Electric Heavy Vehicles
Numbers of hybrid electric and electric PSVs and HGVs are expected to increase in the coming years. This advancement in technology has meant that inspection standards used for PSVs and HGVs are no longer compliant. Adjustments to the roadworthiness standards will extend the scope of annual and roadside inspections to cover vehicles which are currently not covered and allow for better enforcement against vehicle defects. By acting now will mean that VOSA is prepared for wide scale adoption of these vehicles. The following report highlights changes required to VOSA Inspection Manuals and Categorisation of Defects sanction policy.
