Transport for NSW: AIS Update

R-Safety digital upgrade underway


A new R-Safety app is now being used by Mobile Safety Check Examiners to perform eSafety inspections. This marks the first step in a broader plan to eventually roll out the app to all fixed station examiners. 

 

A new R-Safety web portal is also in development. It will eventually replace AIS Online and give proprietors and nominees a more intuitive, accessible platform to manage their stations. 

 

Both the examiner app and proprietor portal are key parts of Transport’s digital transformation strategy. The goal is to deliver tools that are future ready, easy to use and fully supported.

At the forefront of this momentum is a notable development from Mitsubishi Motors Corporation. In a bold move to strengthen its EV credentials, Mitsubishi has recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Foxtron Vehicle Technologies, a Taiwanese electric vehicle manufacturer backed by tech giant Foxconn. This strategic alliance aims to co-develop and launch a new electric vehicle model tailored specifically for the New Zealand and Australian markets

Apology for April Fool’s Day Joke – The “Scania Ute”

by Antonella Abbate • 11 June 2025
We’d like to come clean… The “Scania Ute” is, unfortunately, not a real product—yet! This concept was part of an April Fool’s Day joke. While we know the idea of a heavy-duty Scania truck combined with a ute bed and powered by our iconic V8 engine might sound like a dream come true, it was all in good fun. We apologise if this caused any confusion or got your hopes (or engines) running a little too fast.  Thanks for being such great sports, and who knows? Maybe one day…
