The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) was proud to this year attend one of industry’s biggest trucking and trailer events in the Brisbane Truck Show.
We are always keen to connect with operators, drivers, our industry partners and, of course, trucking enthusiasts, and the Truck Show provides an opportunity to strengthen these relationships and join some of the most recognisable names in Australia’s trucking landscape.
Importantly, it is also an opportunity for NHVR employees to showcase some of our most important and exciting projects underway, and present on what we are doing to address some of the challenges facing the transport and freight sector.
Spread over four days at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, we are continually amazed by the number of people who gather in South Brisbane for this mammoth event.
The NHVR had almost 60 employees rostered across three sites, with subject matter experts sharing their insights on topics ranging from road access, accreditation, data and technology, fatigue, safety and compliance, and Performance Based Standards.
In particular, we were proud to showcase our new rebrand to NHVR Go (formally the Portal) and chat to industry about the tools and services available through our single, digital destination.
The team also fielded a range of general enquiries, with some of the most common questions being around work diaries, fatigue and rest breaks, mechanical inspections, Safe-T cameras, load restraint, career pathways, and notices.
This year also saw us participate in the new outdoor pavilion, The Depot, with an activation centred on our well-known safety campaign, Don’t #uck With A Truck.
The NHVR showcased an old-school style video game, set up inside a custom-branded trailer for attendees to have a go at achieving a high score.
Opportunities like this allow us to get creative; embracing innovative and refreshing ways to educate young drivers on how to safely drive around heavy vehicles.
The response to each of our displays was extremely positive and it was fantastic to be involved in this event once again.
Thank you to every attendee who took the time to visit our displays and speak with our employees.
We appreciated the opportunity to chat to you all, and hope you gained some valuable insights into the work the NHVR is doing in 2025 to create a safer, more productive and efficient heavy vehicle industry.
And lastly, thank you to Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia for their efforts in producing this event once again and making it a wonderful and worthwhile occasion for all.
