Absolutely NOTHING! Its just a name change. We don’t actually know why they changed the name, but it was changed in 1992. LGV is the new name for HGV, instead of Heavy Goods Vehicles they are now named Large Goods Vehicles. HGV Class 1 (Artics); is now called LGV Category C+E (Minimum age 21 years) HGV Classes 2 & 3 (Rigids); is now called LGV Category C (Minimum age 21 years) 7.5 Ton lorry; is now called Category C1 (Minimum age 18 years) 7.
