Can you add this to the HVTT site under news
Also I am not happy about the sponsor acknowledgement at the bottom

I gave Lu the logos off the site but she said they would not fit
We now know we have 14 sponsors (vic govt is one via DoT and NSW RTA is the other - I will send the

Balancing competing needs in heavy vehicle transport technology - 14 -17 March, Melbourne
HVTT 11 Newsletter - January 2010
Sign-up Now and Reserve a place
Ever wondered who invented the B Double or air suspension, or how the Euro emissions
standards came about? Have you thought about where this and many other heavy vehicle
topics are heading and who is laying the ground rules for the future?
Many of the world’s leading heavy vehicle thinkers, legislators, administrators, suppliers, academics
and transport organisations will meet in Melbourne in March for four days of the 11th Heavy Vehicle
Transport Technology (HVTT11) symposium. They are coming to share their knowledge and debate the
key issues around a theme of “balancing competing needs.” Many of the attendees were instrumental
in shaping our current vehicle designs and operating rules. They continue to grapple with how we can
handle a growing freight task in a way that meets community expectations.
Plenary sessions will highlight:
o

OECD and International Transport Forum’s report on improving
safety,environmental and productivity of heavy vehicles
Performance based standards & the Australian experiment with PBS
Fast tracking innovative vehicles – experience from around the world
Energy and the environment – what is driving heavy vehicle policy,
design and operations
Answering the question – how do we balance competing needs?
