PORTAL OVERHAUL – NHVR ANNOUNCES MAJOR REBOOT FOR WEB PORTAL

The NHVR has revealed it  is gearing up for the future, with a rebrand of its NHVR web portal, which will be known as ‘NHVR Go’ from  14 April this year.

The  national regulator claims the refreshed design and brand of the its portal will see NHVR Go become the heavy vehicle hub driving customers forward.

NHVR executive director, Michelle Tayler said the rebrand reflected the NHVR’s commitment to providing a single, online destination for industry and road managers to access an array of tools and services.

“One of the most important resources we offer our customers is the Portal,” Tayler said.

“We’re committed to soon providing all regulatory services through our online hub, and the rebrand to NHVR Go forms part of an ongoing transformation to see the platform become our heavy vehicle business centre,” she said.

“Our customers will still be able to access all the existing offerings through NHVR Go, with the changes improving the look and feel of the site to create a better user experience,” Taylor added.

The regulator said its NHVR Go’s suite of tools for road managers and industry will remain as route planning, access information, compliance data, accreditation schemes and more.

It said that while operators will still use NHVR Go for tasks such as retrieving a permit application or submitting a Performance Based Standard Vehicle application, Tayler said the rebrand would ensure the platform would better meet modern expectations.

“With a refreshed name and identity, NHVR Go embodies our commitment to innovation,” she said.

“Australia’s trucking industry has undergone a significant digital transformation over the past few years and both industry and government are embracing new technologies to improve efficiency and safety.

“Our online platform is no different, and we’re reflecting a more modern and digitised industry in 2025.

“The improved look and feel of NHVR Go will help us support an adaptive and fast-growing heavy vehicle industry.”

The regulator said its NHVR Go portal will continue to embed growing technological offerings in 2025, including the National Network Map which offers a single and authoritative location for the heavy vehicle industry to map journeys across state and territory borders for their entire fleet.

The NHVR says it will soon also roll out an improved intelligent route planner, integrated within the map, to enable faster journey planning and better efficiencies for operators.

It claims this foundational work will integrate over time with its National Automated Access System, providing industry with a seamless experience through NHVR Go for all access information.

it said that NHVR Go will also see added tools for road managers, to assist with road network access decisions.
