An Electronic Work Diary (EWD) is an electronic device or system approved by the NHVR, to monitor and record the work and rest times of a driver and is a voluntary alternative to the written work diary.
The public consultation period on the draft EWD Policy Framework and Standards has closed. The NHVR received majority support for commencing EWD services and has released a Notice of Final Rule Making (NFRM1702) to advise the outcome of all feedback received.
The NHVR has commenced assessment and approval of electronic recording systems.
