Hi Chris,
I have followed up on your suggestion to have a panel discussion on regulatory reform at HVTT14. The program has not be formalised yet but my hope is to have this as the opening plenary session as a scene-setter for the whole conference. We are hoping to have the Minister of Transport open the conference and so it would be good to have a general overview session like this at the start which he could find interesting and useful.
I am envisaging that there might be about six presenters on the panel and thus, necessarily each will only have a relatively short time slot. We would set each of them a set of four or five questions to address regarding the regulatory reform process in their jurisdictions. Some suggestions for these questions are:
1. What regulatory reform processes are currently occurring?
2. What are the primary motivations for these reforms? (safety, productivity, consistency, compliance etc)
3. What are the stakeholder engagement processes used?
4. What outcomes are you hoping to achieve?
I am happy to receive further suggestions.
Regards,
John

Great questions Johan
And I am wondering if it might be possible to have a session at the next HVTT in NZ where we can discuss where regulation of weights and limits for heavy vehicles is going across different countries and regions across the world, and then consider what factors are supporting or blocking such limits. The list that Joop is preparing would be a great starting point for this discussion and could lead into a general discussion about key issues in heavy vehicle policy and regulatory reform across different countries and regions.
John de Pont, do you think there is space within the HVTT program to schedule a session on this?

Dear all,
In addition to benchmarking regulations for weight & dimensions as Joop P is doing, it would be interesting to compare how different countries justify their policies upon limit values.
WHY have vehicles been restricted to lengths X1, X2 etc and to weights Y1, Y2 etc?
For example:
- Political ambition to limit road haulage competitive advantage over rail transport,
- Accessibility / urban planning,
- Road safety,
- ...
Cheers,
Johan Granlund

Dear Joop,
Thank you for your note and please find attached from our IRU database the listed weights and dimensions that we collected from our members, which could be of great help to draw up your list.
Best regards,
Jacques Marmy

Subject: regulations in non-European countries
Dear colleagues
In Europe (EC countries) we have the EC regulations concerning legal measurements and weights for trucks and trailers. These regulations are not valid in other parts of the world. We are interested in (references to) information on regulations (legal measurements and weights) and registration of trucks and trailers for non-European countries. We are happy to draw up the list of responses and share that afterwards.
Thanks in advance
Joop
