  • National Code of Practice
    I SEPTEMBER 2007 NATIONAL CODE OF PRACTICE Retrofitting Passenger Restraints to Buses Prepared by Vehicle Design & Research National Transport Commission National Code of Practice for Retrofitting Passenger Restraints in Buses Report Prepared by: Vehicle & Design Research ISBN: 1 921168 04 8 2 NATIONAL CODE OF PRACTICE: RETROFITTING PASSENGER RESTRAINTS TO BUSES FOREWORD The National Transport Commission (NTC) is a statutory body established by an inter-governmental agreement to progress regulatory and operational reform for road, rail and inter-modal transport to deliver and sustain uniform or nationally consistent outcomes. Following the research that was commissioned for the NSW Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) into the retrofitting of seatbelts for buses and coaches, as well as advice from the Bus Industry Confederation, it was concluded that the original guidelines (“Guidelines for the Voluntary Modification of Existing Buses and Coaches to Improve Occupant Protection”) needed to be revised. These guidelines were originally developed in 1994 by the National Road Transport Commission, the Federal Office of Road Safety and the Australian Bus and Coach Association. The NTC led the review and a Bus Seatbelts Steering Committee was involved in providing key input and overall direction on the review. A Code of Practice, which is intended to replace the original guidelines, has been prepared. It sets out requirements for modification of existing buses with the intention of improving occupant protection in crashes. The Code of Practice has been endorsed by the Bus Seatbelts Steering Committee and by Transport Agency Chief Executives after a period of public/stakeholder consultation. It was approved by the Australian Transport Council in August, 2007.

  • Buses – Global Market Trends
    2017 BUSES – GLOBAL MARKET TRENDS Markets – Competition – Companies – Key Figures Extract from the study BUSES – GLOBAL MARKET TRENDS Markets – Competition – Companies – Key figures In all regions across the globe, buses remain the most widespread public transport mode. Their demand goes hand in hand with several, mostly region-specific factors, including demographics, increasing mobility of people and environmental awareness, as well as public funding. Buses are comparatively to other transportation modes cheap and easy to use, since their use does not necessarily require the implementation of a specific infrastructure. This makes buses ideal vehicles for both short- and long-distance services. Based on the current developments, this Multi Client Study offers a comprehensive insight into the structure, volumes and development trends of the worldwide bus market. In concrete terms, the market study “BUSES – GLOBAL MARKET TRENDS” includes: A look at the worldwide market for buses differentiated by region An analysis of the relevant market data including present and future market volumes Information concerning the installed fleet and future procurement potential until 2022 An assessment of current developments and growth drivers of the worldwide bus markets in the individual regions An overview of bus manufacturers including an analysis of the market shares, financial backups as well as a brief description of the current product portfolio and strategy outlook A list of the major production facilities in each of the regions including product range as well as production capacities Presentation of the development stage of alternative propulsions, their manufacturers and their occurrence worldwide The study is available in English from the August 2017 at the price of EUR 3,400 plus VAT.

  • Destroy My Jeep ACCC New Car Retailing Industry Market Study
    Destroy My Jeep ACCC New Car Retailing Industry Market Study. New car retailing industry market study. My name is Ashton Wood and I run the Destroy My Jeep campaign. I started this campaign as a warning-shot to Fiat Chrysler Australia that I would not put up with a $50,000 lemon vehicle. This campaign ended with the total destruction of the vehicle at an event that was attended by hundreds of Queenslanders and streamed on-line to millions of people around the world. Fast-forward 2 years and I have been involved in three viral campaigns which each received worldwide attention. I have been joined by others who have experienced similar concerns and we have spoken in parliament, run petitions and pressured the ACCC to investigate Fiat Chrysler Automobiles Australia (details of this investigation are at the end of this document). We have been approached by countless consumers who are being misled on their consumer rights, so with no support offered through the formal channels, we have given guidance, contacted the media and given consumers a voice through direct coverage on the Destroy My Jeep Facebook page which has resulted in over $900,000 of refunds to-date. While we are proud of our achievements, we are very concerned that everyday consumers such as ourselves have to take these matters into our own hands. We need an overhaul of the Australian Consumer Law and we need the ACCC to support the consumers who are left out in the cold when it comes to consumer protection. Below are my responses to the market study in RED: Questions on the structure and operations of the new car retailing industry 1.

  • Automotive Industry Takes Lead to Support Apprenticeship Education with Launch of Multimillion Dollar Donations
    Media Release For immediate use 13 April 2015 Automotive Industry takes lead to support apprenticeship education with launch of multimillion dollar donations This evening VACC will launch a multimillion dollar donation program designed to support vocational trainers that deliver quality automotive training that meets industry needs. VACC with the support of a diverse group of vehicle manufacturers has developed the Automotive Industry Donation Program of parts, components and vehicles to assist training organisations that meet industry standards. The Program is designed to support the training of apprentices and school based VET students on the latest of technology, which is costly and difficult for trainers to secure. “The Automotive Industry Donation Program is a great example of an industry led initiative for a community outcome,” VACC Executive Director, Geoff Gwilym, said. “Stakeholders have come together to address a pressing need and the spirit of cooperation has been outstanding. Our motivation is to ensure automotive training is of the highest order and that Australia’s vehicles are as safe as possible,” Mr Gwilym said. The Program aims to assist in attracting and training more technicians, of which Registered Training Organisations and secondary schools are central to the automotive technical training resource equation. The fast pace of change in the automotive industry requires a consistent renewal of training resources in learning institutions. To date, responsibility has fallen on the places of learning which is unsustainable and creates pockets of inconsistency when cost of investment in new technology is high. “Vehicle manufacturers and VACC which represents more than 5,000 automotive businesses recognise the need to support our quality trainers with access to quality learning resources, this means having our future technicians learn their trade with current vehicle componentry and vehicles.

    PARLIAMENT OF VICTORIA PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES (HANSARD) LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY FIFTY-EIGHTH PARLIAMENT FIRST SESSION Wednesday, 8 June 2016 (Extract from book 8) Internet: www.parliament.vic.gov.au/downloadhansard By authority of the Victorian Government Printer Following a select committee investigation, Victorian Hansard was conceived when the following amended motion was passed by the Legislative Assembly on 23 June 1865: That in the opinion of this house, provision should be made to secure a more accurate report of the debates in Parliament, in the form of Hansard. The sessional volume for the first sitting period of the Fifth Parliament, from 12 February to 10 April 1866, contains the following preface dated 11 April: As a preface to the first volume of “Parliamentary Debates” (new series), it is not inappropriate to state that prior to the Fifth Parliament of Victoria the newspapers of the day virtually supplied the only records of the debates of the Legislature. With the commencement of the Fifth Parliament, however, an independent report was furnished by a special staff of reporters, and issued in weekly parts. This volume contains the complete reports of the proceedings of both Houses during the past session. In 2016 the Hansard Unit of the Department of Parliamentary Services continues the work begun 150 years ago of providing an accurate and complete report of the proceedings of both houses of the Victorian Parliament.

  • 2020 Zero Emissions Bus Forum Report and Key Findings
    2020 Zero Emissions Bus Forum Report and Key Findings FEBRUARY | 2021 Foreword It has been an incredible opportunity to work with our members Transport for NSW, Arup and L.E.K. Consulting to bring together local and global expertise in a virtual forum format in which we shared examples, case studies, best practice and lessons learned to inform Zero Emission Bus (ZEB) transition pathways for Australia and New Zealand. Through the ZEB Forum we considered the key questions that government and industry need to solve for in order to integrate ZEB fleets into transport networks in our region. This report captures and analyses what was shared at the UITPANZ ZEB Forum in late 2020 and offers key insights to power the way forward in our region. We have an opportunity to emerge as global leaders in the zero emissions technology and sustainable transport space. While in some ways we’re playing catch up to Europe and Asia, we also have an opportunity to leap ahead by investing in the latest technology and learning from the lessons of our peers from countries around the world including China, Singapore, the United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, Norway, the United States and Canada. This is the benefit of the global UITP network, where we can harness the expertise, lessons and case studies of members from 100 countries around the world, to inform the ZEB transition in our region and support the sustainable mobility agenda more broadly. I’m delighted by the proactive response of many state and territory governments in Australia, as well as the regional and national governments in New Zealand, to move towards an accelerated ZEB transition in our region.
