Argent - Meeting All of Your Mixed Fleet & CVRT Requirements

If you operate a business that has a mixed fleet of Large Goods Vehicles (LGVs) and Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs), you need to ensure that they’re well maintained and safe to be driven on Ireland’s roads. Part of your obligation in this regard is a yearly commercial vehicle testing (CVRT) that must be passed to continue driving legally. Carry on reading to find out more about it.

What Kinds of Vehicle Does This Include?

Well, to be classed as an HGV and LGV, the vehicle in question will weigh over 3.5 tonnes and this includes any other type of vehicle that’s built onto a goods vehicle chassis and they include:

• Driller

• Watering/sweeping machine

• Compressor

• Concrete pump

• Road tar sprayer

• Travelling machine or workshop

• Drain cleaner

• Hoist or crane

• Road gritter or chip spreader

• Road maintenance vehicle

Known in this case as an Heavy Commercial Vehicle Test (HCV CVRT), the test itself takes anywhere between 30-60 minutes and it involves inspecting all accessible and visible vehicle components. Once passed, it means that the vehicle in question satisfies the basic standards of safety on the day it’s carried out, however, it does not represent any kind of warranty of the vehicle’s condition.
