The new agency will be one of four in the Driver, Vehicle and Operator (DVO) group of agencies in the D for Transport (DfT).
The new DVO hasn’t yet been given a formal name but DfT is searching for a director general and expect to make an appointment by year’s end.
The other agencies in group are the Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency, the Driving Standards Agency and the Vehicle Certification Agency.
