ARTSA was well represented at the recent VTA Awards night with Executive Members Martin Toomey, Luke Cullaway, Simon Humphies. Rachel Michaud, Wayne Baker and Bob Edwards and their partners attending the 30th Anniversary of this important industry event.
The introduction of legislation seeking to delay the commencement of the Road Vehicle Standards legislation was passed by both the Senate and the House of Representatives.
The amendment postpones the commencement of the Road Vehicle Standards legislation to a date to be decided, but no later than 1 July 2021, This is a very important win for the industry which has lobbied long and hard to this postponement.
ARTSA and its members will continue to input into the significant changes in government policy and procedures that affect the industry.
The current status of the review of the PBS Standards being conducted by the NHVR is that the NHVR is reviewing and analysing the feedback from industry and jurisdictions. The draft paper PBS Standards Review (Paper 0) produced by Dr. John de Pont from TERNZ Transport, proposes 3 changes to the standards including Directional Stability Under Braking.
