High Productivity Motor Vehicles – 2 years onFriday 3 Aug 2012
• 1876 HPMV applications have been received since1 May 2010 – 782 permits were issued for higher mass and 1094 were issued for over-length HPMVs. • They have investigated 4500kms of potential routes that will make up the strategic HPMV freight network. • Approximately 2900 kms has been approved for HPMV access. • Productivity gains in the first year showed a 20% reduction in trips for the same freight task under higher mass permits and a 14% reduction in trips for over length. Benefits to the economy were estimated at $9 million with no capital investment. • The NZTA has produced an HPMV manual setting out the current policy, standards, processes and procedures for the permitting of HPMVs. • We have started a project to simplify and integrate processes for permitting heavy transport vehicles as a means of improving customer service and freight productivity.

Some of the issues around working with NZTA and local councils on opening up HPMV routes will be covered by leading transport and forest products companies in the upcoming ForestTECH - Improving Wood Transport & Logistics event being planned for Rotorua on 4-5 December. Details will follow shortly. Source: NZ Transport Agency | ||
