Triple trailers added to new PBS combinations allowed in Victoria

A host of new vehicles have been added to the approved list for high productivity road freight work in Victoria

B-triples general freight, B-triples volumetric, AB-triples general freight and AB-triples volumetric will be eligible to operate in Victoria under upgrades to the National Class 2 Performance Based Standards (High Productivity) Authorisation Notice 2022 (No.3).

NHVR CEO Sal Petroccitto said that, since the notice was introduced in Victoria and New South Wales, it had replaced thousands of Class 2 permits, saving administrative time and cost and improving productivity.

“In Victoria, this notice has streamlined access for most of the 1,500 PBS vehicles that meet the requirements to run on the state’s 8,000 kilometre High Productivity Freight Vehicle Network,” Mr Petroccitto said.

“The release of the NHVR National Map in the new year will continue to support improved efficiencies and get safer and more productive vehicles on the roads sooner, including the ability for road managers to update gazetted networks in real time.

“The new map will remove the need for industry to access multiple state and territory maps when planning their journeys and access requirements, with end-to-end and cross-border networks displayed in one location.”
