Written Question
Large Goods Vehicle Drivers: Regulation
Tuesday 15th November 2022

Asked by: Baroness McIntosh of Pickering (Conservative - Life peer)

Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask His Majesty's Government what mechanism they will use to ensure that small operators are aware of the changes introduced under the Drivers' Hours, Tachographs, International Road Haulage and Licensing of Operators (Amendment) Regulations 2022.

Answered by Baroness Vere of Norbiton

Under the Drivers’ Hours, Tachographs, International Road Haulage and Licensing of Operators (Amendment) Regulations 2022, from 1 July 2026 operators of small goods vehicles (weighing between 2.5 and 3.5 tonnes), when used for hire and reward for international journeys into the EU, will be required to comply with the retained EU drivers’ hours regulations and install a smart tachograph 2. In advance of this date, my Department will continue to engage with industry stakeholders, including smaller operators, on the changes that will be required.
