NHVR simplifies process to manage defect notices

The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) is making it easier for operators to view defect notices issued across their entire fleet with today’s release of a new online module within the NHVR Portal.

National Heavy Vehicle Accreditation Scheme (NHVAS) operators will be the first to experience the NHVR Portal – Compliance Module, which offers a comprehensive overview of defect notices issued to individual vehicles across an entire fleet, enabling more effective tracking and earlier management of defects.

NHVR Chief Operations Officer Paul Salvati said the new module reflects the regulator’s commitment to exploring innovative ways to make it easier and safer for the heavy vehicle industry to manage their compliance.

“Improving productivity and safety in one of the most important industries in Australia is a key objective of the NHVR and this new Portal module helps achieve this through timely and simplified access to important compliance related information” he said.

“Currently, operators face challenges with timely notifications of defects, which affects fleet management.

“By providing a centralised platform to view the defect history of the entire fleet, operators can identify defect trends, address issues promptly and enhance the maintenance of their fleet.

“This will in turn reduce the number of defects issued to operators and contribute to improved vehicle standards within the heavy vehicle industry.”

The NHVR is committed to leveraging technology to boost safety, promote productivity and increase heavy vehicle standards, ultimately benefiting everyone on the roads.

NHVAS operators can access the new module through their existing account, while non-NHVAS operators will be offered access to the module by the end of the year.
