It is no secret that Australia’s heavy vehicle industry is rapidly evolving, as emerging technologies, trends and disruptions continue to change the industry landscape and impact on the sector.
The ability to identify the changes which will have an ongoing imprint on the heavy vehicle industry’s safety, productivity and sustainability is one which is crucial to the success of all of us – including the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator.
At the NHVR, we have strived to evolve into a modern, forward-thinking regulator which stays abreast and in-tune with the real-world challenges and opportunities within the sector.
Because of this, we have developed a new project we are excited to share with you – Vision 2035.
Our Vision 2035 project has been created as an opportunity for the NHVR to work closely with industry stakeholders to “look over the fence” and assist in preparing for the predicted changes which will shape the heavy vehicle industry in a decade’s time.
We are doing this because we want to ensure our future practices remain relevant, and that through our strategies and approaches we continue to add value to industry.
With so many fast-moving technologies and practices affecting the heavy vehicle sector now and into the future, at the NHVR we believe it is more important than ever to ensure we are ready and willing to adapt where we need.
We want our Vision 2035 project to be a key cornerstone in our ability to do just that – and we cannot do it alone.
Over the coming months we will be inviting a diverse range of stakeholders from across the country to join us in participating in a series of workshops, to gain real-world insights on exploring and planning for the future heavy vehicle industry.
These workshops will be inclusive and include a broad range of voices, foster critical thinking and be used to assist the NHVR in developing future strategies and priorities which are truly representative.
We want to look to the next decade with a strong and wide-reaching understanding of industry views on future priorities, risks, and opportunities, to ensure the NHVR continues to evolve into a regulator supportive of innovation, and remains one which acts proactively.
Our Vision 2035 project will also be shaped with extensive input from experts in strategic and future foresight, with the goal of ensuring our approaches are grounded in the latest and most effective methodologies.
And in addition, we will also work closely with jurisdictions, policing agencies and research institutions to ensure we are getting the full picture of the trends, challenges and opportunities.
By making the most of the extensive knowledge of our stakeholders and industry partners, we believe Vision 2035 will help shape a future-ready regulator.
