Freight

The Department of Transport and Planning Victoria has announced 30 June 2023 as the final deadline to have smart on-board mass (OBM) systems fitted to certain high productivity freight vehicles (HPFVs).

Beyond this date, the mass limits of the below classes of vehicles will be restricted if not fitted with Smart OBM:

• vehicles more than 26m in length, with a Gross Combination Mass (GCM) in excess of 68.5 tonnes
• quad-axle semi-trailers with a GCM in excess of 46.0 tonnes

This webinar, presented by Gavin Hill and Ian Mond, covers:

• the changes and how they will affect transport operators traveling in/to Victoria
• the steps required for signing up to Smart OBM
• the importance of Smart OBM for the Victorian road network
• the ways mass data from Smart OBM is being used by road managers.
