# [NSW Leads on Heavy Vehicle Compliance Standards | SGESCO-MAX](https://sgesco.com.au/news/nsw-safety-guide-for-heavy-vehicles/)

 Written by [Admin](https://sgesco.com.au/news/author/admin) | September 28, 2022

In 2020, Transport for NSW released their [recommendations](https://sgesco.com.au/news/nsw-safety-guide-for-heavy-vehicles/?hs_amp=true#) for safety technologies for heavy vehicles on NSW roads and working on government projects. The 34-page *NSW Safety Guide for Heavy Vehicles* is still current today.

The recommendations were developed because NSW government consider heavy vehicle compliance standards a serious issue. While heavy vehicles make up 2.5% of NSW road fleet and 8.3% of kilometres travelled, they are involved in approx. 18% of all road fatalities. This is to not to say they are always the “at fault” vehicle, but their size and mass make any crash a serious one.

The recommendations for 57 safety technologies fall into 3 areas:

- Crash Avoidance Technologies
- Protective Technologies
- General Safety

Several of these safety requirements can be fulfilled by SGESCO-MAX Solutions as follows:

##### Safety Guide for Heavy Vehicles — Good Advice for other States

Given our experience with heavy vehicle compliance standards across several industries over several years, we see this Safety Guide for Heavy Vehicles as a minimum standard for fleet managers or operators in any state or territory of Australia to follow. Increasingly, companies that have the latest safety technologies typically are viewed positively when it comes to government contracts across Australia and New Zealand.
