The TMA Class 3 LZEHV Monitoring Scheme (VIC) uses the Telematics Monitoring Application (TMA) of the National Telematics Framework.
The scheme is made available by the Department of Transport and Planning, Victoria, to monitor road utilisation of eligible Class 3 low or zero emission heavy vehicles (LZEHV) on approved routes of the road network in Victoria.
An LZEHV is a heavy vehicle that has relatively low or no tailpipe emissions. Examples include battery electric vehicles, hybrid electric vehicles, fuel cell electric vehicles and diesel vehicles at Euro 6 or above.
To participate in the scheme, transport operators must conform with the requirements specified within an applicable permit, available on the NHVR website. The permit describes eligible vehicles for the scheme and any characteristics of those vehicles, as well as approved routes of the road network in Victoria.
Eligible vehicles must be fitted with a TCA-approved telematics device and a Smart OBM system.
Transport operators can enrol vehicles in the scheme by contacting a certified application service provider (ASP).
TCA must approve telematics devices and Smart OBM systems used in the scheme. The telematics device used in the scheme will generate position records and report them to TCA. The Smart OBM system used in the scheme will generate mass and configuration records. The ASP will report data records and enrolments to TCA no less frequently than weekly.
Unless required by law, TCA will destroy the telematics data it has received relating to the transport operator’s nominated vehicle(s) 12 months from its receipt of the data.
TCA will analyse data received through the TMA application, and reporting will be made available via the Telematics Analytics Platform (TAP).
