PBS (HPFV) Combinations

View Victoria’s network maps if you’re driving a: 

•   Performance Based Standards (PBS) Combination; or
•   High Productivity Freight Vehicle (HPFV) Combination.

Please refer to Victoria's PBS & HPFV networks information sheet [PDF 680 Kb] and Operating a Performance-Based Standards vehicle in Victoria [PDF 1.2Mb] prior to travelling on any of the PBS networks.

For all road closures, traffic alerts, roadworks and detours, or events causing road closures and/or detours, this Planned & Unplanned Disruptions map layer should be applied to the heavy vehicle network intended for use. NOTE: The route to be used must also be checked prior to travel. The Disruptions data will be viewable on the HV map network you are checking by toggling on once in the highlighted layers widget above the information panel.
