The Cook Government has responded to calls from Western Australia's motoring industry amid the rising popularity of four-wheel-driving and caravanning, and introduced standards to safely increase maximum weights, known as Gross Combination Mass (GCM) and Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) for light vehicles in WA.
The Department of Transport (DoT) worked in conjunction with the Motor Trade Association of WA and the Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association (AAAA) to develop and release to the public Vehicle Technical Bulletins VTB-180A and VTB-181A.
