Policy background
High productivity motor vehicles (HPMVs) “have the potential to significantly increase the efficiency of road transport and generate large economic benefits…” Productivity Commission, 2012
What is a HPMV? Meet the whanau……
Heavier - specific routes (44-58 tonnes)
Longer - network (aka ‘Proforma’, 22/23 meters)
Longer - specific routes (22-25 meters)
Heavier + Longer - specific routes (25 meters, 62 tonnes)
50MAX - network (up to 50 tonnes, 22/23 meters)
Must be a suitable vehicle permitted to a suitable route or network, with a suitable operator…..
What is a HPMV? Built that way….
What is a HPMV? Before & after……
Not a HPMV Now a HPMV
What are the benefits? Estimated economic benefits….
Heavier (20% fewer trips) Longer (14% fewer trips)
Heavier + Longer (30% fewer
trips)
50MAX (15% fewer trips)
Improving truck safety Newer, fewer, safer trucks
Newer trucks
Higher safety & environmental standards
Better visibility requirements
Lower roll-over risk
PLUS
Reduced crash risk (in context of increasing freight volumes)
Enabling HPMV uptake
Importance of accurate information
Better customer experience
Faster, more certain permit experience
More information, especially route information (MAPS!)
Regulatory amendments

5200 Kms
Deliver the network…
50MAX If you can’t fix the network, fix
the truck….
