Innovative Vehicle Approvals

  • PBS Applications (Performance Based Standards)

  • NSFV Applications (Non-standard Freight Vehicle)

  • Swept path analysis, Dynamic performance reviews.

  • Manage Government authority applications

 

The Performance Based Standards (PBS) Scheme provides industry additional opportunities to innovate, resulting in improved productivity for a given freight task, safer performance and the least possible effects on roads and bridges. Smith Global Pty Ltd is certified to compile applications for assessment of product innovations and new product designs by the PBS Review Panel.

 

Non-standard Freight Vehicle Applications are for high productivity vehicles which fall outside both of the PBS and standard vehicle regulatory frameworks.

 

Smith Global has extensive experience with creating innovative vehicle concepts and with successfully managing the promotion of these PBS and NSFV applications through the lengthy bureaucratic process.

 

We are able to coordinate the creation of Swept path analysis and Dynamic performance of vehicle combinations, ensuring that all relevant technical criteria from all parties have been included and that the vehicle combination is a viable & feasible option.
