Insert:
maximum overall width, in relation to a Safer Freight Vehicle, means the manufacturer's nominal value for the overall width, plus upper (positive) manufacturing tolerance, of a vehicle of that design variant.
maximum permissible overall width, in relation to a Safer Freight Vehicle, means the highest value for the overall width of a vehicle of that design variant that is permissible under the road vehicle type approval or concessional RAV entry approval that applies to the vehicle.
power (kW): see section 5A.
SAE J2908 202301 means SAE International Information Report, Vehicle Power and Rated System Power Test for Electrified Powertrains (SAE Standard J2908_202301, as issued September 2017 and revised January 2023).
Safer Freight Vehicle means any sub-category NB2 or category NC vehicle, whether or not the vehicle has an overall width exceeding 2,500 mm at the time when it is entered on the RAV, that meets all the national road vehicle standard requirements specified in the Vehicle Standard (Australian Design Rule 43/04 – Vehicle Configuration and Dimensions) 2006, or a later version, necessary for the vehicle to exceed an overall width of 2,500 mm.
              Note 1: At the time when this definition was inserted, clauses 6.1.5.2, 6.1.5.2.1, 6.1.5.2.2 and 6.1.5.2.3 of the Vehicle Standard (Australian Design Rule 43/04 – Vehicle Configuration and Dimensions) 2006 specified the requirements that must be met for a sub-category NB2 or category NC vehicle to exceed an overall width of 2,500 mm.
              Note 2: Where a range of widths may apply to a model, some national road vehicle standards will require the intended range of vehicle widths to be accounted for during testing. A vehicle may be manufactured with an overall width no greater than 2,500 mm but still be a Safer Freight Vehicle, as defined in this instrument.
Safer Freight Vehicle Identification Code, in relation to a Safer Freight Vehicle, means a string of information about the vehicle, expressed in the following format:
SFV-XX-Y1Y1Y1Y1-Y2Y2Y2Y2
where:
 (a) the letters 'SFV' are short for Safer Freight Vehicle;
 (b) the letters 'XX' are:
 (i)  for a prime mover—replaced by 'PM';
 (ii) for a chassis-cab—replaced by 'CC';
 (iii) for a partially completed vehicle other than a chassis-cab—replaced by 'IO';
 (iv) for a vehicle of any other kind—omitted;
 (c) the characters 'Y1Y1Y1Y1' are replaced by the maximum overall width (in millimeters) of the vehicle; and
Note 1: The actual overall width of the vehicle may be less than its maximum overall width, due to manufacturing tolerances for the design. See the definition of maximum overall width.
Note 2: The maximum overall width that is entered for a vehicle should reflect the design specifications it was manufactured to, and stage of manufacture, at the time it is
