The Webfleet Brake Performance Report, conceived to monitor trailer brake performance remotely, was declared compliant with the DVSA (Driver Vehicle Standards Agency) standard for Electronic Brake Performance Monitoring Systems (EBPMS).

Continuous data capture from a trailer’s EBS (Electronic Braking System) not only enhances road safety, but also helps cut the cost of fleet downtime by reducing the need for traditional quarterly rolling brake tests. The solution makes it easier to identify trailers with EBS issues, with a graphical report enabling performance values and trends to be tracked over time. From April 2025, laden roller brake tests or EBPMS will be the only accepted methods for brake testing, with few exceptions.
