As the NHVIM is revised and

NHVR Director Safety Daniel Elkins told today’s Technical Maintenance Conference in Melbourne that the Regulator would tyre inflation, brake systems and the on-going work around coupling safety. “We recognise that technology has a growing

very little evidence which proves a link between vehicle maintenance and major incidents due to a separation between key areas were examined in the report, including brakes, couplings, steering and suspension, wheels and tyres, of claims for transport companies with poorly maintained couplings. For wheel and tyre defects, the frequency was 32%
