IRC Structure
The draft structure for the Automotive Heavy Vehicle IRC was published on this website on 10 October 2016, providing an opportunity for industry to comment on whether the structure would adequately represent the industry. The AISC welcomed the comments received from a range of stakeholders and there was general agreement that the structure was fit for purpose and should proceed to a call for nominations. One change was made as a result of this consultation – with the allocation of a position for the Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia (HVIA).
