From April 2025, the UK’s Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) will begin enforcing new regulations that require commercial trailers to be either tested four times annually with a laden roller brake test or fitted with an approved Enhanced Brake Performance Monitoring System (EBPMS).
At Fleetly , we offer a powerful and compliant EBPMS solution tailored specifically for UK fleets. Designed to keep your operations efficient, safe, and audit-ready, our system allows you to monitor trailer brake performance in real-time—eliminating the need for frequent depot visits and reducing costly downtime.
EBPMS (Enhanced Brake Performance Monitoring System) is an automated, onboard system that monitors and records a trailer’s braking performance continuously during normal operations. Unlike traditional roller brake tests, which require taking the vehicle off the road and loading it to a specific weight, EBPMS captures live brake data every time the vehicle is in motion.
