If you run or manage commercial vehicles, you’ve probably dealt with the annual CVR test. But there’s another document worth paying close attention to - the CVRT Risk Rating Report. It doesn’t just tell you whether your vehicles passed or failed; it gives an overview of how well you’re staying on top of maintenance and safety.

If you’re a commercial vehicle operator in Ireland, it’s vital to ensure that your fleet is roadworthy. However, rather than simply being about ‘passing tests’, maintaining your vehicle is also about making it as safe, efficient and reliable as it can be.

If you’re managing a fleet of vehicles in Ireland, ensuring that each one undergoes commercial vehicle testing so it’s roadworthy and meets is good practice. However, it’s much more than that, as it’s also a legal requirement. That’s because in order to drive on Irish roads, they must undergo vehicle type approval. 

At Argent Equipment, we know that your vehicles are the backbone of your business, and ensuring they’re safe, compliant, and secure is a top priority. It’s one of the reasons why many companies across Dublin choose to trust us with their commercial vehicle testing needs.
