Heavy Vehicle National Law

The Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) is a regulation in Australia that sets standards for the safe operation, maintenance, and management of heavy vehicles like trucks and buses across participating states. It aims to improve safety, efficiency, and consistency in the heavy vehicle industry by establishing rules on vehicle standards, driver licensing, fatigue management, load limits, and compliance. The law helps ensure that heavy vehicles are operated responsibly, reducing accidents and environmental impact, while facilitating interstate trade and transport. It is enforced by relevant authorities to promote safe and effective freight movement nationwide.
