NHVR launches Vision 2035 Project to anchor future planning
Over the coming months the NHVR will host inclusive workshops with a range of diverse stakeholders to together explore and plan for future challenges and opportunities, particularly those likely to impact on safety, productivity and sustainability.
Vision 2035 will help shape the NHVR’s future practices and ensure they remain relevant, continue to add value to industry and foster innovation in an evolving heavy vehicle landscape.
Please keep an eye out for opportunities to attend these workshops in your area.
Route Planner pilot launching this month
The NHVR’s Route Planner is being updated in 2025 to combine it with the National Network Map, providing clearer network routing for the heavy vehicle industry and increasing efficiency and productivity for operators.
The Route Planner is an interactive online mapping service that displays routes for heavy vehicles.
The pilot will provide operator feedback on routing directly via the National Network Map for Class 2 vehicles. This means industry will be able to access more accurate ‘routing’, including turn-by-turn directions, a printable route card and the ability to share route plans.
Stay tuned for further updates as this project progresses in the coming months.

Industry reminded about how to clear defect notices
Safe and well-maintained heavy vehicles are critical to a safe, productive, and reliable transport industry. When a heavy vehicle is found to be non-compliant to vehicle standards, a vehicle defect notice may be issued. The notice contains specific information, including:
- how the heavy vehicle is defective by identifying any faults,
- whether the defect notice category is major, minor, or self-clearing,
- the corrective action that must be taken.
