PBS Masterclass for Sydney and Melbourne

HVIA will deliver Performance Based Standards (PBS) training in Sydney and Melbourne next month in partnership with Advantia Transport Consulting

Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia Chief Executive Brett Wright says the PBS scheme allows innovative engineering to achieve much greater productivity from heavy vehicles with even greater safety benchmarks.

“The National Transport Commission’s (NTC) recently released marketplace report, Assessing the effectiveness of the PBS Scheme, provides compelling evidence of the type and magnitude of benefits the PBS scheme also delivers to the community and to road managers." Mr Wright said.

“The PBS Masterclass fills a void for engineers, management and sales staff of truck, trailer and body manufacturers and dealers, as well as operators and fleet managers involved in specifying or purchasing PBS vehicles.

“HVIA are delighted to have partnered with engineering consultancy firm, Advantia Transport Consulting to provide this training.

“Rob Di Cristoforo is a pre-eminent PBS expert and a skilled presenter.”

A twenty-year veteran of heavy vehicle industry engineering, regulatory policy and consulting, Mr Di Cristoforo founded Advantia Transport Consulting in 2008 to work with the road transport industry and government agencies to improve heavy vehicle productivity and safety.

"There has been a lack of practical, usable, real-world information available regarding the PBS scheme," Mr Di Cristoforo said.

“This one-day course is designed to help manufacturers, dealers and end-users understand what can be achieved, and how to go about it.

“The Masterclass will provide detailed insights into the opportunities offered by the PBS scheme.

“We’ll then walk participants through the process of getting vehicles from concept onto the road, achieving great productivity benefits.”

The PBS Masterclass will be held at Bundoora in Melbourne on Friday, November 3 and in Blacktown, Sydney on Thursday, November 9.

Registration is open to HVIA members and non-members. Places are strictly limited.
