About Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia

As is implied by our Vision statement, HVIA’s role, as an industry peak body, is to clear the way - enabling members to prosper through their innovation, and ongoing quest to provide their customers with the safest and most productive heavy vehicles, equipment, and technology.

To achieve those goals, we advocate reform ideas to government, provide technical assistance, thought leadership on issues, information, education and training to our members and create awareness and support for the industry by highlighting the achievements and successes to the community writ large.

Providing these valuable services is now ingrained into our culture and is an ethos that we live by. It is a great honour and privilege to work with a team that has pursued this goal with dedication and vigour.

However, we must not rest on our laurels as the industry is on the edge of an exciting transition.

HVIA has this year been working with stakeholders to create awareness and an understanding of the future challenges. We know that EV is coming but to what extent and how fast is up for debate and discussion.

Currently, our focus is working with the training organisations and OEMs to ensure we have the right combination of recognised, available, and hopefully subsidised training qualifications. Those new skillsets must be in place to upskill our current workforce, and ready for new entrants to the industry.
