The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) has approved a seventh Electronic Work Diary (EWD) option, with Bustle Technology’s EWD now available.
NHVR CEO Sal Petroccitto said operators are starting to reap the benefits of EWDs – and not just through better fatigue management and driver safety, but also through productivity gains.
“For example, Bustle’s EWD complements its existing end-to-end Transport Management System solution, which includes compliance, workshop, operations and finance modules,” Sal said.
“By wrapping as many solutions as possible into their software and aligning it with the Industry Master Code of Practice, Bustle is enabling transport operators to run compliant operations with fewer systems.
“When we developed the model for EWDs, we set the performance standards, not the type of technology, and enabled the market to meet the standard.
“It’s great to see the range and diversity of solutions that are now on offer to the heavy vehicle industry, allowing them to choose the most suitable EWD for the size and complexity of their business.”
Drivers are reminded that, when switching to an EWD, they must continue to carry their written work diary for a transition period to comply with the requirement to carry 28 days of records.
It’s also important they check the NHVR website to ensure they’re using an NHVR-approved EWD.
