Technical Bulletins
These technical bulletins, developed by the ATA, are tailored for the trucking industry. The technical bulletins provide a vital source of information, updates, operational guidance and technical support for operators, drivers, and maintenance providers. These bulletins are published to keep you, and your team informed about the latest developments, technical improvements, compliance requirements and maintenance recommendations across heavy vehicle systems and components.
Technical bulletins are advisory in nature, they are not intended to be comprehensive or universally applicable. Their adoption remains voluntary, and users must assess the suitability of the content relative to their specific operational requirements.
All operators remain legally obligated to comply with the applicable statutory and regulatory requirements, including but not limited to the Australian Design Rules (ADRs), the Australian Vehicle Standards Regulations, the National Roadworthiness Guidelines, and any manufacturer-issued specifications or instructions regarding vehicle systems and components.
