The New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) has announced the rules around vehicle dimension and mass (VDAM) are changing from February 1, 2017, but the current law remains in place until that time.
NZTA says the changing rules governing heavy vehicle size, weight and operation limits are mostly small, but may have an impact on how the industry operates, inspects, manufactures or permits heavy vehicles.
DIESELtalk will feature a full report on the implications of the VDAM announcement in the December 2016 magazine publishing on December 8 but for now here are the links to NZTA details below.
