Vision 2035

The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator’s Vision 2035 project has been established to provide a clear-eyed vision of how the future of the heavy vehicle industry may evolve over the next decade, identifying key trends, opportunities and challenges. 

The NHVR has invited people from across industry within Australia to partake in dynamic and collaborative workshops, as we tackle key questions on how we can best prepare and plan for the heavy vehicle industry of the future.

Throughout February and March the NHVR will host workshops across the country, including in Sydney, Tamworth, Melbourne, Launceston, Adelaide, Perth, Brisbane and Townsville.

What is Vision 2035?

The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator's Vision 2035 Project has been developed to help inform the regulator’s future organisational planning and strategy. With Australia’s heavy vehicle industry rapidly evolving, the NHVR wants to ensure its practices and policies remain relevant, and continue to add value to industry.

Through a series of workshops across the country during the first few months of 2025, the NHVR wants to hear industry stakeholders’ insights about their priorities, potential risks, challenges, and opportunities to assist the NHVR in identifying trends likely to impact the heavy vehicle industry in a decade's time.

Why am I being invited to participate, and who else is invited?

The NHVR wants a broad range of industry stakeholders to take part in our workshops, to ensure we are getting as many voices assisting us plan for the future as possible.

Varied perspectives will help counter any potential “blind spots”, and create a space to access many viewpoints from a diverse range of stakeholders.

We will also be engaging with experts, jurisdictions, policing agencies and research institutions.

What will I get out of it?

Your participation in our workshops will be highly-valued, and give you an opportunity to share your insights on the future state of the heavy vehicle industry directly with the NHVR.

In turn, your important input will assist in the shaping a future-ready regulator, one which continues to support heavy vehicle innovation and progress.

What will I need to do?

Before the day, you will be asked to consider a few key questions about the future of the heavy vehicle industry, but no specific preparation for the NHVR’s Vision 2035 workshops is necessary.

Our workshops will be open and collaborative, and through a series of questionnaires and activities, you will be encouraged to share your valuable industry insights.

The event will be fully catered, and all necessary materials will be provided. Come ready to share your ideas and perspectives.

When should I arrive at the workshop?

Please arrive within the first hour, as we’ve set aside time for registration before the workshop begins.
