The Australian Government thanks outgoing National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) CEO Sal Petroccitto OAM for his leadership and dedication to the role.
After leading the national regulator for more than a decade, Mr Petroccitto will be finishing as CEO on 24 January 2025.
During his time as CEO, the NHVR has adopted an 'inform, educate, enforce' approach to its compliance activities, which has allowed them to work collaboratively with the industry to support policies and initiatives that advance heavy vehicle safety outcomes.
The NHVR has helped deliver more than $41 million in Government funding to 169 projects under the Heavy Vehicle Safety Initiative since the program began in 2016.
This program has made an important impact on the heavy vehicle industry, supporting much-needed training, educational campaigns and innovative new technologies.
I wish Mr Petroccitto all the best for the future, and thank him for his tireless work to achieve better heavy vehicle safety outcomes across the nation.
An extensive nationwide recruitment process, to be led by the NHVR Board, will start in the coming weeks to appoint a new CEO.
I look forward to continuing to work with the NHVR as we continue to drive a safe, efficient and productive heavy vehicle industry.
