More than a quarter of all commercial vehicles in London are now registered to Transport For London’s Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) – a programme designed to improve the safety and efficiency of fleet vehicles.

An estimated 27 per cent of commercial vehicles in the capital have been registered to the scheme and of the operators that have registered, 66,000 vehicles now come under FORS bronze level, 8,000 are under silver and 4,500 under gold.

FORS has seen a huge increase in operators wanting to gain the FORS badge, as accreditation is now an essential requirement when tendering for work with TfL and Crossrail, with a number of borough councils adopting the same approach. This is leading to more and more contracts being awarded to operators who can prove they meet the FORS standard.

As well as increasing the chances of winning work, FORS offers operators access to a range of other benefits that can help them maintain competitive advantage whilst improving their safety, such as funded Driver CPC courses. More recently, the scheme is has been using its buying power to negotiate exclusive discounts on a range of products and services which are solely available through FORS, including driver license checks, blind spot warning systems, tyres, anti-theft diesel dye and Fresnel lenses.

In another recent development, FORS is now being promoted in Tyne and Wear, so operators in the North East are now able to take advantage of the same benefits open to operators in the Capital. The Tyne and Wear Freight Partnership, whose objectives are promoting the safe sustainable movement of freight throughout the area, saw the benefits the scheme offered a local area and expressed an interest in taking it on board.
