Heavy vehicle noise

Reducing heavy vehicle noise

There's been huge growth in the number of heavy vehicles on NSW roads. Since 2001, registration of heavy vehicles has increased by more than eight per cent.

Trucking is an important business. But the constant use of noisy engine brakes is hurting the industry’s image.

The Roads and Traffic Authority (RTA) and Environment Protection Authority (EPA) are keen to work with the road transport industry to reduce the environmental impact of heavy vehicles on the community.
