TfL recognises upgraded FTA fleet excellence audits 30 June 2016

The FTA’s (Freight Transport Association) Truck Excellence and Van Excellence audits – if supplemented by additional checks – have been recognised by TfL (Transport for London) as valid alternatives for its work-related road risk (WRRR) checks.

However, although Truck and Van Excellence audits with the addition of ‘Section 7 – TfL contractual clauses’ enables full compliance with WRRR, it does not automatically grant FORS bronze accreditation.

“We are pleased that we have been able to agree a basis with TfL for offering an alternative scheme equivalent to FORS Bronze accreditation,” states FTA deputy chief executive James Hookham.

“This will provide a new way for operators to achieve the fleet operator recognition standards set by TfL.”

“We recognise the FTA’s Truck and Van Excellence schemes – when supplemented by additional audit items – as compliant with one of our contractual requirements,” confirms Ian Wainwright, head of freight and fleet at TfL.
