In the realm of vehicle customization and enhancement, one term that often arises is GVM upgrade. If you’re a vehicle owner in Victoria, Australia, and you’re curious about what this entails, you’ve come to the right place.
Understanding the GVM of your vehicle is paramount to your safety on the road and making sure you are meeting Government regulations. GVM (Gross Vehicle Mass) is the maximum weight allowed for a vehicle when it’s fully loaded. All vehicles have a GVM as part of the manufacturer’s Australia Design Rule (ADR) approval.
A vehicle GVM can easily be reached when fitting aftermarket accessories such as steel trays and bull bars, even with two or more large adults riding in the vehicle. As it is easy to reach the maximum GVM, it is important to understand your vehicle’s weight and the load weight you are carrying. Upgrading your GVM can help prevent safety hazards and make you susceptible to fines.
Bendigo Towbars & 4WD Centre are authorized to fit GVM Upgrades with an Engineer’s Certification.
