Melbourne Truck and car technology is evolving rapidly. Electronic safety systems, engine technology, tyres, aerodynamics and other aspects of vehicle design mean that today’s vehicles are safer, quieter, more productive and far more fuel efficient. The Safety and Productivity Drive Day will feature many of these new technologies including demonstrations of:
- Electronic braking systems
- Rollover stability systems
- Innovative vehicles designed using Performance Based Standards (PBS)
- A range of hybrid transport vehicles
- Fuel efficiency demonstrations
- Safety demonstrations of lane assist, collision avoidance, adaptive cruise control
- Electronic Stability Control
The morning will feature track demonstrations of this technology followed by displays and discussions in the afternoon. There will be an opportunity to ride in some of these vehicles and talk to the drivers about the impact that these emerging technologies have on their workday. Expert opinion will be provided in areas of braking, safety systems, aerodynamics, tyre technology and maintenance, fuel systems and fuel efficiency and more. Who should attend? This day is aimed at informing fleet purchasers, regulators, enforcement personnel, policy and standards organisations, and all levels of government.
