Performance Based Standards (PBS) high productivity road freight vehicles are revolutionizing Australian supply chains.
Over 15 years champions from industry, community and Australia’s National Transport Commission have worked together to develop the 16 rigorous standards that a PBS vehicle must meet to be allowed on our road networks.
Today, the PBS program operates under the auspices of the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator and these vehicles are delivering up to 33% better environmental performance, 50% fewer road accidents and 100% improved productivity.
