ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The formation of a new national advocacy group for heavy haulage operators is a clear indication that the industry is seeking to amplify its voice on policy and safety issues

What it means for regulatory reform

The group’s focus on regulatory reforms could lead to changes in safety standards, emissions regulations, and other areas that impact commercial vehicle sales

This, in turn, may require dealers to adapt their sales strategies and product offerings to meet new regulatory requirements

Impact on commercial vehicle sales

Dealers who sell commercial vehicles, particularly those used in heavy haulage, should be prepared to provide guidance to their customers on any upcoming regulatory changes

The new association may also create opportunities for dealers to engage with industry stakeholders and shape the development of new regulations

Taking action

This week, dealers can start by reviewing their current product offerings and sales strategies to identify potential areas of impact from regulatory reforms, and consider reaching out to the new advocacy group to learn more about their plans and priorities
