CVIAA is responsible for advocating on behalf of the commercial vehicle body building, manufacturing, and servicing sector.
CVIAA represents businesses involved in the manufacture, modification, distribution, and servicing of commercial vehicles and trailers. We are the national voice for this essential industry, providing advocacy, technical guidance, and support to ensure industry growth, safety, and compliance.
CVIAA’s mission is to promote a safe, innovative, and competitive commercial vehicle industry. We support members by developing policy responses, providing technical resources, and engaging with regulators to ensure our sector remains agile, compliant, and equipped to meet evolving freight and transport demands.
Australia’s commercial vehicle industry is critical to the economy, supporting freight, logistics, construction, and agriculture. As technology, emissions regulations, and customer expectations evolve, CVIAA plays a key role in guiding members through these changes and ensuring national harmonisation of standards across vehicle design, build, compliance, and repair.
CVIAA’s stakeholders include vehicle body builders, trailer manufacturers, component suppliers, industry regulators, fleet operators, and government agencies. We work collaboratively to develop and influence policies, improve industry standards, and address key challenges including vehicle safety, compliance, skills shortages, and decarbonisation of the heavy vehicle fleet.
