Description:

The HVSI is a single grant opportunity, for delivery for a minimum of 4 years from the 2026-27 to 2029-30 and maximum delivery of 6 years from 2026-27 to 2031-32.

A grant has been provided to the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) for Heavy Vehicle Safety Initiatives (HVSI) since the program commenced in 2016.

The NHVR facilitate the development of guidelines, application submission and assessment by a grant assessment panel, who recommend projects to the NHVR Executive Leadership team. The recommended projects are submitted to the Australian Government for consideration.

HVSI is an ongoing and indexed grants program to support the heavy vehicle industry to develop, trial, and scale cutting-edge solutions that not only address today’s safety challenges, but anticipate the next generation of operational, environmental, and technological shifts.

The HVSI program recognises that emerging vehicle platforms, data-driven systems, real time computational methods, electrification, decarbonisation and automation are redefining freight — and that industry must adapt alongside these technology advancements.

The program is designed to support industry to navigate this transition safely, sustainably, and inclusively by funding forward-looking, scalable initiatives that demonstrate how safety innovations can help future-proof freight and logistics operations.
