Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How often do heavy vehicles need safety inspections in NSW?

A: Under Transport for NSW regulations, all heavy vehicles over 4.5 tonnes GVM registered in NSW require an annual Heavy Vehicle Safety Inspection (pink slip). Vehicles used for passenger transport may require more frequent inspections. Additionally, vehicles operating under certain accreditation schemes like NHVAS Maintenance Management may have different inspection schedules. Our team can help determine the exact inspection requirements for your specific vehicles based on their registration category and use.

Q: What are the Chain of Responsibility (CoR) obligations for vehicle maintenance in NSW?

A: Under the Heavy Vehicle National Law as applied in NSW, anyone involved in the operation of heavy vehicles has responsibilities regarding vehicle maintenance. This includes operators, employers, and maintenance providers. You must take all reasonable steps to ensure vehicles are properly maintained, defects are promptly repaired, and vehicles comply with vehicle standards. This includes implementing regular maintenance schedules, conducting pre-trip inspections, maintaining records, and addressing defects promptly. Our maintenance programs are designed to help you meet these Chain of Responsibility obligations.

Q: How do I ensure my truck modifications are legal in NSW?

A: In NSW, heavy vehicle modifications must comply with Vehicle Standards Bulletin 6 (VSB6) and be approved by Transport for NSW. Significant modifications require certification by an Approved Vehicle Examiner (AVE) and may need specific modification plates. Our team can guide you through this process, helping determine what approvals are needed, coordinating with certified engineers, and ensuring all documentation is correctly filed with Transport for NSW. We recommend consulting with us before undertaking any modifications to ensure compliance with all NSW requirements.

Q: What emission standards must trucks meet in the Sydney metropolitan area?

A: Heavy vehicles operating in the Sydney metropolitan area must comply with Australian Design Rule (ADR) emission standards corresponding to their year of manufacture. Transport for NSW and the NSW EPA regulate these standards, which control both exhaust emissions and noise levels. Modern trucks typically need functioning emission control systems including SCR, DPF, and AdBlue systems. Our maintenance services ensure these systems function correctly and meet NSW EPA requirements. For older vehicles, we can help develop compliance plans to meet current emission standards for Sydney metropolitan operation.

Q: How does the NHVAS Maintenance Management accreditation affect my maintenance schedule?

A: The National Heavy Vehicle Accreditation Scheme (NHVAS) Maintenance Management module allows operators to manage their own maintenance programs instead of following the standard annual inspection regime. If your fleet operates under NHVAS accreditation in NSW, you must follow a documented maintenance system that meets NHVR standards. This includes scheduled servicing, fault reporting, records management, and regular vehicle inspections. Our specialised NHVAS maintenance programs help you maintain compliance with these requirements while optimising vehicle performance and reliability.
