SPECIALIST ADR RECOVERY
ADR Vehicle Recovery
When you need ADR Vehicle Recovery, NWVA should be the first people you call.
Specialist recovery expertise
With over 30 years of practical experience in Hazchem heavy vehicle recovery, Nationwide Chemical Assistance was established to provide vehicle recovery for HGV’s and LGV’s gas-fuelled or transporting ADR freight. Nationwide Chemical assistance is a specialist division of NWVA, one of Europe’s largest Recovery Solution companies.
Additionally, Nationwide Chemical Assistance has its own in-house Dangerous Safety Goods Advisor (DGSA). This means you have just one company to handle all aspects of your vehicle recovery.
Experienced incident management
As soon as you notify us, we appoint an experienced, qualified Incident Manager (IM) to oversee your ADR vehicle recovery – even if it is a minor breakdown. Your appointed IM will be experienced in all areas of vehicle recovery, including HGV and ADR licenced – an invaluable advantage as they can visualise the issue and a possible solution. This allows the IM to pre-approve additional requirements with you before deploying the recovery.
Nationwide Chemical Assistance is fully qualified and competent in the recovery of fuel tankers, chemical tankers and vehicles carrying ADR classified goods, including the following UN Classes listed below.

2.1 Flammable gas
2.2 Non-flammable, non-toxic gas

Qualified recovery specialists
Our driver team includes specilaiist recovery drivers that hold up-to-date ADR qualifications and appropriate Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC), HGV1 and LGV1 certification.
We operate a robust, audited network of over 10,000 recovery vehicles and 550-member recovery agents. Included amongst this network are carefully selected and fully audited ADR vehicle recovery specialists. Every associated company and vehicle recovery driver hold a current ADR licence. ADR requires that an individual undertakes 35-hours of training every five years to remain fully competent in their duties. Only approved drivers are employed in the recovery of ADR vehicles.
Training and traceability
To keep everyone up-to-date, we arrange various training scenarios throughout the UK. Typically, a training day will involve tanker hauliers, manufacturers, emergency services and client representatives in practical work involving a rolled-over tanker.
We live in a dangerous world. ADR-carrying vehicles have the potential to be used as weapons. Nationwide Chemical assistance works closely with The Governments Land Transport Security Team to ensure traceability of your ADR vehicle at every stage of the recovery process. You can have peace of mind knowing your vehicle recovery is in the hands of experienced experts.

MOBILE AND ON-SITE SUPPORT
On-site Vehicle Service
As part of our commitment to fleet operators, we are able to offer a nationwide mobile and on-site vehicle service for planned or urgent, reactive maintenance and repairs. Our aim is to keep vehicle down-time to an absolute minimum, reducing costs for our customers significantly.
What We Do
When one of your vehicles needs urgent attention, a mobile workshop and qualified technician can meet a driver on location to carry out planned maintenance and essential bodywork or mechanical repairs.
Rather than recover it to a depot for repairs, our trained and qualified technicians arrive quickly – generally within one hour of notification and take a pragmatic approach to get your vehicle legal and back on the road. If necessary, we follow-up with OE parts to fit them during planned down-time at a location convenient to you.
Support for fleet operators
This service is available seven days a week, 365 days a year, from over 1350 agent depots throughout the UK. It is also available throughout Europe and Scandinavia.
We work with contract hire and fleet management companies and large fleet operators for both planned and reactive maintenance and repairs for cars, Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV’s) and Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV’s).
Reducing vehicle downtime
Compared with delivering a vehicle to a workshop, Nationwide’s solution reduces lost vehicle and driver operating time, helping to mitigate the expense of vehicle downtime. Our clients tell us that this:
- Reduces wasted time
- Reduces lost revenue
- Increases revenue by keeping a driver and vehicle working during prime operating hours.
