Launch of the coveted Maintenance Provision Rating Scheme (MPRS)
On 29th April at 11:10 am, IRTE will officially launch the Maintenance Provision Rating Scheme (MPRS) – a pioneering initiative designed to assess and recognise the performance and quality of maintenance workshops and facilities. Supported by industry bodies such as the DVSA, and the Office of the Traffic Commissioner as well as some of the biggest names in the road transport industry, the MPRS provides a unified rating system that helps businesses maintain high standards and workforce excellence. By offering an independent and transparent evaluation, MPRS aims to enhance industry credibility, improve safety standards, and ensure ongoing compliance with best practices.
Attendees at the CV Show will have the opportunity to learn more about MPRS, ask questions directly to IRTE representatives, and understand how this scheme can benefit their workshops or fleets.
