DEALS Data

Isuzu leads the charge in a thrilling record-breaking February result for the light-duty segment

Heavy-duty The heavy-duty sector saw a huge boost on this time last year – up 27.8 per cent (224 units) on February 2021’s 805 to reach a total of 1,029. This is the second-best February result on record, just 31 trucks short of 2008’s 1,060, to make a total of 1,767 yearto-date (YTD) – 365 trucks ahead of the same time last year.

Kenworth retains top position with a total of 226 – a gain of 63 on February 2021 to give it a total of 389 YTD. Isuzu takes second place with 177, which puts it 68 ahead of last February's total, if still far short of 2020’s 606 units. Volvo is still in third place with 161, up 52 on February 2021 to reach 270 YTD. Mercedes-Benz takes over fourth place with a total of 58 – down 26 units on February 2021 but up from January 2022’s 36.

UD Trucks, Scania and Mack scrap it out with 55, 53 and 52 units, respectively, showing modest gains for the first two month-on-month, if a slight decline on January’s figure for Mack.

Of the remainder, it was Western Star and MAN that saw the greatest growth compared to February 2021; both up 10 units.

New truck sales figures for February 2022 reached 2,872 units, which was a welcome gain on last February’s total of 2,769 if not quite reaching the heady heights of February 2008 when the record of 3,017 was set. It is, however, the February strongest February total since 2018’s 3,001 recorded sales.

1029 Overall, the new truck market is 5.3 per226 cent, or 253 units, up on KENWORTH 2021, with 5,020 trucks delivered177 in the first two months of this year.

Isuzu is still top dog in the medium-duty segment, with a February 2022 total of 248 putting it 43 units ahead of February 2021’s total of 205. This is also a gain on January’s 210 total, putting Isuzu at a YTD result of 458 units. Hino remains comfortably in second place with 172 – up eight units on last February and an impressive 62 units up on January this year.

Third place is once again taken by Fuso with 102 – up from 2021’s February total of 89 and a boost of 29 units on its January result.

The remaining manufacturers all recorded under 10 units each but of note is SEA Electric’s first entry into the Truck Industry Council’s sales data, recording one medium-duty unit.

The light-duty segment is still forging ahead, setting a new sales record for February of 1,023, just ahead of February 2021’s 1,011. With two strong months of sales, 2022’s YTD total is now sitting at 1,791 – up nearly three per cent (51 trucks) on the same time last year.

Isuzu saw a massive gain on last February’s result of 205 to reach 346, which is also 61 up on its January 2022 result. Hino and Fuso swap positions, with Hino’s 272 trumping Fuso’s 240, though both also show significant gains of 108 and 151 units, respectively, compared to February 2021 figures.

Iveco jumped up the charts from last February’s seventh place to reach fourth with 62 units, compared to last year’s four, while fifth place Fiat with 43 didn’t appear at all in last February’s figures.

Gains were also seen by Hyundai (20 in 2022 vs. one in 2021) and Mercedes-Benz (16 vs. one).

OF THE BEST

50-year glow on Truck of the Year competition

Truck of the year; courtesy of Adelaide Waste Solutions

The honour of being chosen as the

Truck of the Year has become quite a notable achievement

2022 marks half a century of Isuzu Trucks in Australia and, to celebrate, the country’s top truck brand has announced its biggest ‘Truck of the Year’ competition ever.

Each year, Isuzu truck owners enter the draw in the hope of taking home the Grand Prize – a coveted $6,000 Visa gift card – and the glory of being crowned Isuzu’s Truck of the Year.

The search to find the king of Isuzus was first introduced in the earliest editions of the brand’s owner’s magazine, Truckpower, back in 1996 – making it the longest running competition of its kind in Australia to date.

IAL national sales manager Les Spaltman says the competition continues to bring likeminded owners together in celebrating their trucks and business.

“When people think of an Isuzu, they think of durable, dependable, consistent trucks that can perform at the highest level over years – a real investment for their business,” he explains.

“And we see that pride of ownership translating over into our Truck of the Year competition.

“As we enter the 50th year of selling Isuzu trucks here in Australia, it gives me great satisfaction to see our customers stand by the product so strongly… and indulge in a bit of friendly rivalry.”

IAL marketing and advertising manager Sam Gangemi chalks up the success of the long-running competition to Isuzu’s honest sales culture and the product’s famous reliability.

“This is a huge year for Isuzu Australia

and, in that spirit, we are keen to share the excitement with as many people as we can,” says Gangemi.

“We expect this landmark anniversary will draw out some of the most exciting trucks we’ve ever seen, so if you or anyone you know has a truck that might fit the bill, this is your year.”

Adding to a slew of ways to win big with Isuzu (including $1,000 Visa gift cards for Series winners and branded merchandise packs for monthly winners), the People’s Choice Award was introduced in 2019, giving the broader Isuzu community a chance to vote on social media for their favourite entry.

“We wanted this year to have some flair to celebrate our 50-year anniversary,” says Gangemi.

“It’s not only about the prize – the honour of being chosen as the Isuzu Truck of the Year has become quite a notable achievement.”

Entering the competition is as simple as visiting isuzu.com.au and following the prompts at: www.isuzu.com.au/news/ truck-of-the-year.

The form will ask for a picture of the applicant’s truck, as well as a short blurb on what makes it stand out from the crowd. Applicants are free to add pizzazz to their description and anyone speaking passionately about their vehicle will likely get an extra look from the judging panel.

Monthly winners are announced on Isuzu’s social media and the Isuzu Content Hub, with each of these winners in with a chance to take out a Series Prize or the Grand Prize as Truck of the Year.

’12 Freightliner Argosy 550hp Cummins w/rebuild 18-spd manual 1,500,000km $89,000 Craigieburn VIC 03 9998 4809

With the last Freightliner Argosy having been delivered to an Australian customer last year after US production of this model ceased in 2020 – superseded by the Cascadia – your only chance now will be to get one that’s used.

However, if a few years and 1.5 million km under the belt doesn’t scare you off, have a closer look at this example from 2012. It comes with a 550hp (410kW) Cummins engine, which has had a rebuild and comes with a full Cummins warranty. The updates include new pistons, liners, rings and bearings. This is complemented with the classic 18-speed manual gearbox and air brakes on 46-160 diffs as well as air bag suspension.

A set of new tyres has also been fitted for its next journey on the road, and those long hot days are taken care of with a Viesa air con.

For more information, call Hume Highway Truck Sales on 03 9998 4809.

’2016 Scania P440 PM + 2016 ATE Tri-axle 31,600LT aircraft refuelling semi tanker 440hp Opticruise 2 pedal auto POA Campbellfield VIC 03 8373 7111

An airport may not be the first place that springs to mind when spying a truck going about its business, but here we have two ex-Australian Royal Air Force 2016 Scania P440 prime movers fitted with 2016 ATE tri-axle 31,600-litre semi tankers for the refuelling of planes.

Unsurprisingly, the P440 has a Scania DC 13 440hp (328kW) sixcylinder engine @ 1,900 rpm, which brings torque of 2,300Nm (1,696 lb-ft) @1,000–1,300 rpm, mated to an Opticruise two-pedal 14-speed auto. An Octo touchscreen trailer management system helps manage the tanker on the back, which comes with top and bottom loading and two hydraulic hoses for underwing and overwing refuelling.

With under 8,000km on the clock, where will these two end up next?

’10 Western Star 4864 FX 525hp Detroit Series 60 18-spd trans 921,132km $90,000 Dandenong South VIC 03 9998 4948

Described by Western Star as ‘comfortable, sturdy, tough’, the 4800 series has been designed to cover a wide range of trucking applications and, in this case, we have one set up with a tipper.

Packing a Detroit Series 60 engine that provides 525hp (391kW), you get the classic 18-speed RoadRanger transmission and Airliner AL46K suspension. On the back of this 2010 model is a 4.6m-long Hercules tipper with grain doors, ringfeeder, electric PCV rollover tarp and load lights. Have a look inside the cab to see the wood grain effect dash and padded ceiling and doors, while there’s also a bit of flash on the outside with stud alloy rims, an alloy bumper and flourishes on the paintwork.

Coming in at just over 920,000km on the clock, there’s still life in it yet as it heads into its second decade.

SARTA calls for fuel gouging crackdown CEO Steve Shearer says it’s “un-Australian” for those profiteering from increased fuel prices The South Australian Road Transport Association (SARTA) is threatening to refer companies to the ACCC if they aren’t willing to pay the same in fuel levies to subcontractors as they get from their customers.

The calls come after petrol and diesel price increases following the current conflict in eastern Europe.

SARTA CEO Steve Shearer says the association’s main priority is ensuring truck operators are treated fairly and not extorted for money.

“Sometimes large operators charge clients a very significant fuel charge, when the subcontractor is actually doing the work and buying the fuel,” Shearer says.

Transport Worker’s Union in fuel fight The NSW TWU has headed to court to seek relief for owner drivers in transport

Steve Shearer

“When they contact the prime contractor and asks for more of a fuel levy to cover the increased prices, too often we find the prime contractor doesn’t agree to pay the subcontractor, which means they are profiting.

“If we get clear evidence of that, we’ll go to the ACCC, we’ve seen it happen too often in the past – it’s un-Australian and wrong conduct.”

Another issue arises with payment terms, where many subcontractors are given seven days to pay fuel companies but may not receive the money from their clients for up to 120 days.

“It’s straight-out skulduggery in our view, it’s not fair nor reasonable,” Shearer says.

“We’ll get through this as a country providing everyone is fair and no one tries to profit.

“If not, we could see a number of smaller truck driving companies hitting the wall and we will then see deserted supermarket shelves, like we saw last year.”

The New South Wales Transport Workers’ Union has filed a claim in the NSW Industrial Relations Commission for an increase in rates paid to essential owner-drivers carrying freight under the General Carriers Contract Determination.

The court action comes after fuel prices increased to over $2 a litre throughout Australia in March.

The NSW TWU argues the everincreasing cost of diesel is causing a financial crisis for contract carriers in the road transport industry.

The rates that contract carriers are being paid currently were set when diesel costs were around $1.23 a litre, compared to now, where they are averaging $2.18 a litre at the pump.

According to the NSW TWU, every litre of fuel that goes into a truck attracts a 44.2 cents per litre fuel excise, as they believe removing this could be the first step in helping transport operators stay on track financially.

“We are going to the courts to seek relief for owner-drivers under extraordinary circumstances,” NSW TWU state secretary Richard Olsen says.

“The inaction from the federal government, who should be finding a way to relieve transport operators, has forced our hand.

The NSW TWU are heading to court over petrol and diesel prices

“As an industry representative we are hearing first-hand the financial burden owner drivers are under – this is why the TWU is in the courts seeking relief.”

Having cited that they “do not trust that the varying levels of government will adequately respond to the needs of the transport industry”, the NSW TWU says it will represent ownerdrivers in court and fight for an increase in rates paid to drivers.

“The transport industry needs direct, targeted support for those who need it most in truck drivers and transport operators who are trying to keep alive, safe and viable small businesses whilst continuing to carry the goods,” Olsen says.

“Everything is moved by a truck – owner-drivers are no longer working to support their households; they are simply working to pay the costs of getting the job done.”

The NSW TWU is seeking a practical response from the federal and state governments, believing it is unacceptable that the federal government is absent in offering relief to small business operators driving Australia’s economy forward.

News Hino is currently testing Allison’s fully electric axles

Hino begins testing Allison fully electric axles Hino is looking to roll out the new battery electric heavy-duty vehicles soon Hino Trucks is commencing the testing and validating of Allison Transmission’s next generation fully electric axle.

The new axle technology, named the eGen Power 100D, is part of Allison’s XL series of heavy-duty battery electric vehicles.

Hino is progressing towards the start of production after completing the vehicle integration and commencing testing and

validating on the new electric axle.

“When evaluating the electric axles available in today’s competitive market, Hino selected the Allison eGen Power 100D due to its benefits, including electromechanical sophistication, a next generation controls system and industryleading packaging,” Hino customer experience VP Glenn Ellis says.

“Allison continues to be a true partner throughout the vehicle

validation and development process and we appreciate their willingness to adapt and refine the e-Axle to meet our needs.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Allison to bring Hino’s new fullyelectric heavy-duty trucks to market.”

Allison and Hino will jointly host a select group of customers for a ride and drive of the eGen Power 100D-equipped Hino XL battery electric tractor at Allison’s global headquarters.

The new fully integrated electric axle from Allison features two electric motors and integrates a two-speed gearbox within the central housing to enable the high torque required to get heavy loads moving.

Allison’s global network of distributors and dealers allows Hino and its customers access to training, service and aftermarket support needed to keep its vehicles running smoothly.

ATA joins zero emission memorandum The association joins truck companies in targeting zero-emission heavy duty vehicles The Australian Transport Association (ATA) is the latest member to sign the global Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.

The MoU endorsing the ambition to introduce a widespread wave of zeroemission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles is aiming for 30 per cent of new heavy vehicles being zero emissions by 2030, with 100 per cent of heavy vehicles being zero emissions by 2040.

This goal of facilitating a net-zero carbon emissions heavy-duty vehicle world by 2050 has recently been signed by the ATA. The ATA joins truck companies Scania, Volta Trucks and Irizar as members to sign the MoU and pledge adherence to the targets.

The MoU was first introduced by the global commercial vehicle Drive to Zero, which acts as representatives of subnational governments, businesses and other organisations with influence over the freight truck and transport industry.

The MoU focuses on accelerating the industry to transition into zero-emission vehicles as soon as possible, with each new member of the MoU working with

other signing companies and associations to implement a sustainable transport future.

All signing members will work together to overcome strategic, political and technical barriers, accelerate zero-emission vehicle production and deployment and increase investment in this technology to make the transition faster and more cost effective for everyone.

ATA joins several truck manufacturers in signing a zero-emissions MoU

The ATA will help to specifically ensure heavy- and medium-duty vehicles in Australia begin the transition to zero-emission to align with the MoU’s targets.

News NatRoad is hoping to have its say on the HVNL reform review

NATROAD welcomes HVNL review The review will look into the heavy vehicle law reform process The National Road Transport Association (NatRoad) has greeted the unveiling of a review into the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) reform process with open arms.

The review, which will be undertaken by former NSW roads and maritime services head Ken Kanofski, will be taken on by a productivity program after to implement reform outcomes.

NatRoad expressed its desire to work with Kanofski on the review, with the federal government stating its wish to make the review as independent as possible.

“We want a root-and-branch

examination of what’s a very broken process and while that hasn’t been granted, this is the next best thing,” NatRoad CEO Warren Clark says.

The federal government engaged Kanofski to provide the Infrastructure and Transport Ministers’ Meeting with an assessment of: • industry’s view of current jurisdictional supported reform proposals • additional items that industry seeks to have addressed by the review • an assessment of what can be done to resolve differences and provide a reform package that reflects the views of all stakeholders.

The review’s terms of reference seek the recommendations of how the industry should be engaged over the balance of the review, and what other work needs to take place to help fix any holes in the HVNL reform process.

The report is due by the end of April.

“The review is occurring in a very short time frame but we’re making sure we do all we can to deliver the views of our members,” Clark says.

“HVNL reform is an important issue that’s fundamental to how our industry operates.

“Reforms that make the freight task more efficient and the roads safer must go hand-in-hand and be based on evidence.”

Clark says the HVNL has become “more about petty enforcement, penalties and red tape with little in the way of real reform in the pipeline”.

“NatRoad’s strong view is that industry needs to be driving HVNL reform and not the bureaucracy and all proposals must be based on evidence and common sense,” he says.

ATA welcomes new HVNL developments The hub will highlight important information about freight on land, sea and air The Australian Trucking Association (ATA) also welcomed news from the latest meeting of the nation’s infrastructure and transport ministers regarding the review and development of the Heavy Vehicle National Law. After previously voicing dissatisfaction regarding the progress of the National Transport Commission review, which began in 2018, ATA is more positive after the February announcement that infrastructure and transport ministers had had a productive discussion about the review and emphasised the importance of close engagement with industry.

The ministers agreed there needs to be further consultation before bringing back more detailed policy work for consideration at their next meeting ATA chair David Smith says it’s a step in the right direction.

David Smith

“We welcome this announcement because it shows the ministers understand the need to consult with industry. Quite honestly, we’ve been very unhappy about the slow pace of this review, so let’s hope this latest development will speed things up,” Smith says.

“We believe it’s vital that the new Heavy Vehicle National Law delivers a safe and

productive working environment for the delivery of goods and services across Australia. It’s also very important that truck drivers are able to understand and abide by these laws.

“We want to thank the ministers for intervening ... especially the leadership from Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development, Barnaby Joyce.

“Maybe now, we’ll see some real progress. We will continue to develop a commonsense version of the Heavy Vehicle National Law for the Ministers to consider.

“The heavy vehicle drivers have continued to deliver for Australia no matter what’s been thrown at them, including Covid-19, bushfires and floods. We need this review to deliver for them.”

News Victoria, NSW and Queensland are collaborating on the hydrogen highway

Renewable Hydrogen highway to link eastern states The network will target three major highways along Australia’s eastern seaboard Australia’s first renewable hydrogen refuelling network will be built along the nation’s busiest freight route in a collaboration between Victoria, New South Wales and Queensland.

The Victorian government will invest $10 million to build at least four renewable hydrogen refuelling stations between Sydney and Melbourne in a historic step towards decarbonising the trucking industry.

The move also helps Victoria meet its target to halve emissions by 2030, with funding to be matched by the NSW government.

The overall $20 million funding will help build the network and provide grants for Australia’s first long-haul hydrogen fuel cell electric freight trucks, which take advantage of the greater efficiency for freight through faster refuelling, increased load capacity and increased range.

The three governments from Australian’s eastern seaboard will collaborate on the development of the renewable hydrogen highway by 2026, focusing on the Hume Highway, the Pacific Highway and the Newell Highway.

With transport being one of Australia’s largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for 25 per cent of Victoria’s total carbon footprint, the renewable hydrogen move shows potential to be cost competitive with diesel, which currently powers most of Victoria’s freight industry.

According to the Victorian government, the highway program is also expected to unlock new markets and create new jobs, driving investment through regional

and metropolitan areas across eastern Australia.

“While the Commonwealth government is failing to address climate change, Victoria, NSW and

Queensland are building pathways to a zero-emissions transport sector,” Victorian Minister for Energy and Environment Lily D’Ambrosio says.

NSW Treasurer Matt Kean adds: “Renewable hydrogen will increasingly become a competitive zero emissions fuel option for our heavy transport sector, giving our trucking industry the opportunity to decarbonise their fleets.

“The NSW, Victorian and Queensland governments are signing Memorandums of Understanding for the refuelling corridors, starting with the Hume Highway, the Pacific Highway and the Newell Highway.”

New energies Hydrogen servo for Geelong New Viva Energy-operated New Energies Service Station to support hydrogen and electricity-powered truck growth The federal government’s Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has announced that it will provide $22.8 million in funding to Viva Energy Group Limited (Viva Energy) to develop, build and operate the New Energies Service Station to be located in Geelong, Victoria, to support the uptake of hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEV) in heavy fleets.

ARENA states that the project will be built opposite Viva Energy’s petroleum refinery and incorporate a 2MW electrolyser along with hydrogen compression, storage and dispensing infrastructure. The service station will also include 150kW electric vehicle (EV) charging facilities.

ARENA says the funding will go towards both the renewable hydrogen and EV infrastructure, as well as to subsidise the purchase and operations of 15 hydrogen FCEVs to help fast-track FCEV uptake. ARENA funding for the FCEVs will be paid

upon the delivery of the vehicles.

Viva Energy’s $43.3 million project will allow for the procurement, delivery and operation of the hydrogen FCEVs to utilise renewable hydrogen from the New Energies Service Station.

Viva Energy hopes to add traditional diesel refuelling on-site over time to allow drivers to witness FCEV charging.

ARENA points out that all vehicles will be purchased and owned by project partners. Toll Group, ComfortDelGro Corporation Australia, Cleanaway and Barwon Water are said to have made a commitment to purchase hydrogen FCEVs for their fleets, which include prime movers, wastewater and municipal waste collection vehicles and buses.

The location of the project adjacent to Viva Energy’s Geelong refinery is said to provide a number of benefits including a high level of visibility, access to high voltage infrastructure and access to recycled water.

News Improving access for the livestock industry is a key focus

Investment in freight routes The development of better routes is on the government’s agenda The federal government says it is committed to enhancing freight routes across Australia, particularly improving access for the livestock industry.

After addressing members at the livestock and rural transporters association of Queensland recently, the federal government has committed $4.9 billion to 2029–30 to upgrade key freight routes through the roads of strategic performance (ROSI) initiative.

The announcement came after many of Australia’s key freight routes were deemed impassable, particularly along the east coast, due to torrential rainfall and floods decimated freight routes in February and March.

“Our government has not only committed to better infrastructure but has delivered it and we continue to deliver it,” Federal Assistant Minister for Freight Transport Scott Buchholz says.

“Across the heavy vehicle sector the federal government is working hard to build better roads, improve safety, drive productivity and support profitability for the road transport sector.”

The federal government’s recent $1.137 billion investment into the Toowoomba Bypass is one example of their funding drive, as the upgrades removed the need for livestock and rural transport to travel through Toowoomba’s CBD. Other projects on the horizon under the pledge include an $800 million upgrade of the Bruce Highway from Cooroy to Curra and more work with the Queensland government to duplicate and upgrade the safety of the Capricorn Highway between Gracemere and Rockhampton.

“These works, and the $600 million northern Australian roads program, is delivering upgrades to high priority roads in northern Australia essential to the movement of people and particularly livestock,” Buchholz says.

Supply chain resilience review launched The review will look into the resilience of Australian road and rail supply chains The federal government’s Department of Infrastructure and Transport has announced a new road and rail supply chain resilience review.

The review is to be led by the Bureau of Infrastructure and Transport Research Economics (BITRE) and will identify the supply chains most critical to Australian communities and businesses.

The process will also investigate the risks Australian businesses face and a stocktake of any work underway to mitigate risks, before informing government action on effectively mitigating supply chain risks for the benefit of Australians.

Taking into consideration supporting work including the Australian infrastructure plan and the national freight and supply chain strategy, the terms of reference outlines the Covid-19 outbreak and natural disasters as causes for the supply chain review.

Recent times have shown the importance of on-land supply chains

to the national economy, as well as the lives of Australians, as deputy PM Barnaby Joyce commissioned the review into how to make the country’s supply chain stronger.

The review will determine the major risks challenging critical supply routes, identify long-term risks and assess vulnerable spots in Australia’s national supply chain.

The most critical supply chains will be identified

Engaging with the freight industry reference panel, as well as key stakeholders, BITRE will report to government on the issue by December 2022.

HVIA calls for access permit system overhaul HVIA says many heavy vehicles are currently idle due to access permit delays The Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia (HVIA) is calling for an immediate and urgent overhaul to the access permit system for performance-based standards (PBS) scheme vehicles.

It says that currently hundreds of PBS heavy vehicles are sitting idle because of access permit delays.

“It is unfathomable that a fleet operator will invest in the PBS system, spending tens of thousands of dollars to make their million-dollar combination safer and more productive, only to see it penalised for 50 or even 150 days due to bureaucratic dithering,” HVIA CE Todd Hacking says.

“Never has it been so important to have trucks moving.

“I challenge every state and local government with outstanding applications to clear the backlog immediately.”

Under the current Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL), a road manager is given 28 days to decide on a PBS access permit application.

The HVIA say there are hundreds of PBS vehicles parked up, with road managers routinely not meeting the legislated 28day timeframe to decide on access permit applications.

“The PBS scheme is intended to facilitate access rather than be a barrier to access,” Hacking says.

HNVL access provisions are currently under review by the National Transport Commission.

The HVIA has called for a system where: • National Heavy Vehicle Regulator grant approvals are based on precedent whenever applicable • all permits approvals are published and there are appeals mechanisms for refused applications • a built-in statutory approval for the permit if the 28-day timeframe lapses • road managers can use third-party approved persons to approve applications • a call-in power for the NHVR to access and approve low risk applications • an urgent commitment to share bridge rating assessment data • automatic approval for applications that meet the Tier 1 or Tier 2 bridge formulae.

HVIA welcomes AEB rules The two new Australian Design Rules (ADRs) intend to prevent major incidents on Australia’s roads The Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia (HVIA) has welcomed two new ADRs that mandate advanced emergency braking (AEB) on heavy vehicles throughout the country.

AEB systems detect likely forward collisions, providing the driver with a warning before applying the brakes automatically if the driver fails to respond.

The new legislations bring into effect two ADRs: ADR 97/00 – AEB for omnibuses and medium and heavy goods vehicles; and ADR 35/07 – commercial vehicle brake systems.

In summary, these ADRs require all goods vehicles and buses above 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle mass (GVM) to be equipped with AEB, while the requirement of vehicle stability functions of electronic stability control (ESC) is expanded to cover all buses and goods vehicles above 3.5T GVM. Previously ADRs didn’t require

The new AEB standards will come into effect from November 2023

anti-roll and ESC on goods vehicles not used as prime movers, with this update mandating the technology to be included and used on all goods vehicles.

“The incorporation of advanced safety features into new heavy vehicles is irrefutably one of the most effective proactive strategies for improving road safety,” HVIA CE Todd Hacking says.

“Our industry is unrelenting in its quest to develop and promote the adoption of technology solutions to make heavy vehicles safer.”

Phase-in periods begin from November 1, 2023, when all new models must comply, from November 1, 2024 for all new buses sold and from February 1, 2025 for all new vehicles sold above 3.5T GVM.

News Damage to rail lines from flooding caused significant delays to freight transport

New task force for WA supply chains The announcement comes after flood damage to the east-west rail route severely interrupted the state’s supply chain The Western Australian government has announced a shipping and supply chain task force to examine the resilience of the state’s shipping industry and supply chains.

The new task force comes in the wake of flooding throughout Australia that led to the east-west rail link being closed for 24 days, causing significant disruptions to WA’s supply chain.

The task force will be led by Parliamentary Secretary to Minister for Transport and Ports Jessica Stojkovski and Kyle McGlinn, and will report back to the minister by March 31, 2023 on how to improve WA’s supply chain.

Alongside looking into how the supply chain can be improved, the task force will also train more WA citizens to play key roles in the

shipping industry to bolster the state’s supply chain.

Under the government’s plans, the task force will examine: • the role interstate and intrastate shipping can play as an alternative route for freight movements in the event of natural disasters or other supply chain disruptions • how to best support a national approach to interstate shipping so critical supply chains are strengthened • the sustainability of WA’s onwater maritime labour force, including any skill gaps, training requirements or critical worker shortages • opportunities to foster multimodal responsiveness to disruptions in vital WA freight supply chains • chances to improve supply chain communication and service quality at WA ports.

New container storage working group formed The working group will analyse pressures on shipping container storage The Victorian government has announced a new container storage working group as part of its continued work with the freight and logistics industry to keep the supply chain moving.

The working group’s meetings will analyse current pressures on the storage of shipping containers and provide possible solutions, while also monitoring ongoing challenges faced since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Chaired by Freight Victoria executive director Praveen Reddy, the group includes representatives from across the shipping industry, transport operators, peak bodies and the government.

A key role of the working group is to investigate Covid-related labour shortages that have affected the movement of containers through the supply chain at the Port of Melbourne, as well as at warehouse and logistics precincts.

An increase in consumer demand and container shortages due to the supply chain returning to normal has created disruption, meaning the capacity to store full and empty shipping containers has become more pressing.

The Victorian government says

collaboration between the government and industry leaders will help progress Victoria’s freight industry.

“The challenge is confronting the supply chain head-on and now is the time for government and industry to understand these issues and address them,” says Ports and Freight Minister Melissa Horne.

“We are regularly engaging with key industry representatives about these supply chain issues, which is allowing

The new group is looking into ways to improve Victoria’s shipping container and freight industry

Daimler received the WGEA yellow tick for 2022

Chill to run female-only trucking program

Gender equality in firms flagged

NTC launches National Women in Transport initiative as NSW business gears up for all-women trucking training program

Daimler been named as one of 120 organisations who are actively showing workplace gender equality

Refrigerated logistics company Chill has been given the green light to run a female-only training program for budding truck drivers – one of the first in New South Wales.

The business has been given an exemption to the NSW Anti-Discrimination Act, allowing it to advertise and run a femaleonly trucking training and education program.

Chill lodged the exemption application last year, in a bid to lead the charge for women in the transport industry, particularly in light of growing staffing shortages across both the transport and warehouse sectors.

The move comes as the National Transport Commission (NTC) welcomed a new national initiative to showcase women in transport and tackle some of the negative perceptions of a career in this fast-growing industry.

The initiative also aims to improve the gender balance within the transport sector.

The NTC is progressing a series a national-level actions as part of this initiative to increase the number of women working in transport and create a more inclusive modern transport industry.

This includes bringing together a network of senior women transport leaders to showcase the work of women in transport in both the public and private sectors.

Daimler Truck and Bus Australia has been included on the Workplace Gender Equality Agency’s (WGEA) list of employers of choice for gender equality in 2022.

The WGEA yellow tick is awarded to organisations who drive progress towards gender equality for their employees, with 12 organisations receiving the citation for the first time this year.

This citation sets employers apart from other organisations through a range of factors, including a lower gender pay gap, better paid parental leave policies and more women on their boards.

Daimler has now held the WGEA yellow tick for four years, while subsidiary Mercedes-Benz has received it for eight years, both with citation years ranging from 2021 to 2023.

According to WGEA’s data set, these employers have an average gender pay gap of 18.9 per cent compared to 23 per cent for other organisations, with 35 per cent having women on their boards compared to 28 per cent for others.

These companies on the list are more likely to have longer periods of paid parental leave, with 14 weeks available on average, pay superannuation to employees on employer-funded paid parental leave and have more male managers taking paid parental leave.

“Critically, these organisations are delivering on a formula that sees better support structures in place for working families, stronger actions to address pay inequalities and strategic recruitment practices that help encourage the full participation of women at work,” WGEA director Mary Wooldridge says.

Chill senior planner Liesel Croukam

Currently, women make up only 27.4 per cent of workers in the transport, postal and warehousing sector according to ABS data.

That figure is reduced to around 20 per cent for land transport alone.

Only 4.5 per cent of transport CEOs are women and the pay gap of more than 16 per cent is above the average gap of 14 per cent.

Chill senior planner Liesel Croukamp, who started her career as a driver and returned to the road during Covid-19, believes truck driving is a fantastic career for women.

“I absolutely love being out on the open road and spending time behind the wheel,” Croukamp says.

“It gives me time to think and reflect and I get to meet so many interesting people along the way.

“It’s a great career option for people who don’t want to be confined to an office, are deadline and outcome driven, and want something that works in with their lifestyle.

“As a woman, I love the idea that I’m shifting the gender balance within the industry and empowering other women to sign up and give it a go.”

Chill is now working with industry bodies to get the program up and running.

The changes aim to make the program stronger and safety

TruckSafe introduces Auditor registration The changes will lay the foundation for the future direction of TruckSafe Changes to the auditor engagement process of TruckSafe will make the program even stronger going forward, it states.

Under these new changes, auditors will need to be granted approval by the TruckSafe Industry Accreditation Council (TIAC) to be registered before they are eligible to be appointed by TruckSafe for each member audit.

This introduction of auditory registration intends to make the program stronger and safer, aligning with TruckSafe’s vision of being a risk management system that improves the safety and professionalism of trucking operators nationwide.

“These measures, together with our unique approval process, combine to make TruckSafe’s program the most rigorous and robust safety accreditation scheme within the transport industry,” TruckSafe’s Kevin Walsh says.

A new version of the auditor assessment tool will also be released soon in addition to the new registration of auditors.

This new tool follows a different format to previous versions and is designed to easier to complete for auditors than the current version.

Adelaide transport company in court The business allegedly didn’t pay a former truck driver all annual leave entitlements The Fair Work Ombudsman has commenced legal action against road transport and logistics company Schiller Transport Pty Ltd. The Adelaide company, which transports food and other goods between Adelaide and South Australia’s Riverland region, was investigated after a former truck driver requested assistance from the regulator.

A Fair Work Inspector issued a compliance notice to the company in August 2021 after forming the belief that the worker hadn’t been paid all annual leave entitlements owed under the National Employment Standards on termination of employment.

The former employee had been employed by Schiller Transport on a full-time basis between 2011 and 2021.

Allegedly the worker was entitled to be paid $15,906.05 for accrued but untaken annual leave entitlements but was only paid $5,000 by Schiller Transport.

The Fair Work Ombudsman alleges Schiller Transport, without reasonable excuse, failed to comply with the compliance notice, which required it to pay the former employee’s outstanding annual leave entitlements in full upon termination.

Schiller Transport faces a

maximum penalty of up to $33,300 for allegedly failing to comply with the compliance notice.

The regulator says it will continue to enforce workplace laws and take business operators to court when they don’t act on compliance notices.

“When employers do not comply, we are prepared to take appropriate legal action to ensure employees receive their lawful entitlements,” acting Fair Work Ombudsman Kristen Hannah says.

“A court can order a business to pay penalties on top of having to backpay workers.

“Any employees with concerns about their pay or entitlements should contact the Fair Work Ombudsman for free advice and assistance.”

The Fair Work Ombudsman is also seeking an order for Schiller Transport to comply with the compliance notice by paying the outstanding annual leave plus interest.

A directions hearing is listed in the Federal Circuit and Family Court in Adelaide on June 27, 2022.

including our staff, dealerships and national network.”

Isuzu Trucks is providing Gotcha4Life with a specially engineered Isuzu truck that will be used in a new campaign as it travels through Australia building mental fitness for all.

The truck is designed to act as a gathering point for programs and events, powered by the foundation throughout the year.

Recognising the importance of the design and build of the truck to this initiative, IAL called on the skill and capability of Service Bodies Australia (SBA), led by managing director JP Shelburn.

SBA is a long-term supplier to Isuzu Trucks and the manufacturer of the bodies featured on the manufacturer’s Ready-to-Work Servicepack range of trucks.

“We’re super excited to be a part of this great project – the mission of Gotcha4Life fits right alongside the way we do business and approach our culture of work,” says Shelburn.

“When Isuzu Trucks first approached me regarding our involvement, I knew it was something we wanted to do.

“We are fitting industry-best components and equipment as part of this build and automotive electrical equipment manufacturer, Redarc, is providing the all-important electrical nervous system to keep it all powered.

“The truck will feature a

widescreen TV, soundbar, fridges, coffee machines, and the ubiquitous Aussie barbecue.

“We have relationships with the best industry equipment suppliers and we’re building a truck that will be a focal point for discussions at Gotcha4Life’s community events.

“We look forward to seeing the truck on its mission for Gotcha4Life and Isuzu and wish the venture every success.”

Following the tour, the truck will be raffled off to one lucky winner with all proceeds going towards achieving Gotcha4Life’s goals.

“Our mission is to improve mental fitness in Australia, and we want everyone to have a Gotcha4Life Mate – a go-to person that you can rely on and talk to about anything when times are tough, so no one has to worry alone,” says Worland.

“We spread our message through presentations, workshops and training designed to build mental fitness and social connection, delivered to key contact points in the community including sporting clubs, schools, community groups and workplaces.

“It’s a lived truth that prevention is better than cure and that’s what drives us to get those hard conversations started sooner, across the country.”

WA goverment to reform reform tow truck industry The state’s government says community support is behind making the industry safer for both operators and road users The Western Australian government is reforming the tow truck industry to help protect people involved in traffic accidents and combat bad behaviour as well as price gouging.

Consumer Protection invited more than 6,000 stakeholders to engage in consultation on reforms for the industry, receiving 37 formal submissions and more than 400 survey responses from industry participants, consumers and government agencies.

About 90 per cent of survey respondents agreed the industry should be regulated.

The WA government says it will develop a regulatory strategy that ensures a fair and safe towing industry, including honing in on the licensing of tow truck operators and criminal checks.

The WA government says the state is one of two in Australia with the lowest levels of regulation of its towing industry.

“Regulation in WA is long overdue and is essential to ensure that consumers are properly protected

whilst improving safety and confidence in the industry,” transport minister Rita Saffioti says.

“The community consultation has identified a host of concerns that we want to address through the reform process.”

According to the WA government, the reform of the industry comes after strong community support for protecting vulnerable traffic accident victims.

Guidelines for the reform will be represented to the WA government for consideration by mid-2022.

The following suggested reforms received strong community support: • tow truck businesses and drivers should be licensed, with criminal background and associations checks being part of the application process • access to the road network should be controlled, with powers to suspend and cancel licences for breaching road laws, safety and fees included • set price caps and registered depots should be used for storage to

manage excessive towing • additional requirements on Authority to Towforms signed by consumers before a vehicle is towed to increase transparency about what the consumer is authorising The responsibility for executing these changes has been moved to the Department of Transport, which will be tasked with presenting reform options to the WA government this year. This could result in legislative changes.

“The views expressed as part of the consultation process indicated widespread community concern about the tow truck industry in WA,” Commerce Minister Roger Cook says.

“Ethical operators report that they are disadvantaged by the tactics of some unscrupulous drivers who threaten, mislead and harass people to get business.

“The consensus is that this behaviour needs to be stamped out.”

University of Sydney receives research boost The $7.9 million donation will be spent on research into sustainable transport International transport business owner Neil Smith is donating $7.9 million to the University of Sydney Business School to support research in driving government and industry action on sustainable transport.

The donated money will help establish a 10-year chair in sustainable transport futures in the Institute of Transport and Logistics Studies (ITLS) at the university.

It will fund research, education and scholarships in the field of sustainable transport technology, with the Neil Smith chair of sustainable transport futures working towards generating knowledge that underpins a transition to a green future for

Australia’s transport industry.

The chair will also provide leadership and translation of research with a view to influencing policy at all levels of Australian government.

“I believe Australia urgently needs to keep pace with other countries, such as Great Britain, on sustainable transport development,” Smith says.

“Through research and leadership there is an urgent need to stimulate action to address the ongoing issues of how transport contributes to climate issues.

“My greatest hope for this gift is that within a decade sustainable transport is no longer a politically polarising issue in Australia, but a shared goal instead.”

The aim of the chair is to: • advance understanding of the challenges and barriers government and industry face in adopting

Neil Smith (middle) with Professor Greg Whitwell (left) and Professor David Hensher (right)

green transport technology • encourage government and industry engagement, with each other and with other key stakeholders • promote optimum decarbonisation practices, technologies and strategies • suggest and foster the changes required to the regulatory environment “Neil Smith’s generous gift, the largest ever made to the Business School, promises to influence and educate policymakers through evidence-based research and providing education to the next generations of transport and logistics students,” vice-chancellor and principal professor Mark Scott says.

LRTAQ crowns young person in transport winner The award was announced at its conference on the Sunshine Coast last weekend The Livestock and Rural Transporters Association of Queensland (LRTAQ) has announced Luke Cannon of Frasers Livestock Transport as the winner of the 2022 LRTAQ Young Person in Transport award.

News Net sales for Scania increased by 17 per cent compared to 2020

Scania releases 2021 performance summary report Scania’s year-end report highlights strong increases in sales but supply chain challenges The year 2021 for Scania was characterised by record strong demand for trucks but challenges in meeting this demand due to a shortage of components in the supply chain, the company has announced on the release of its 2021 summary report.

Overall, net sales increased by 17 per cent to SEK146,146 million (A$21,124.9 million) while total vehicle deliveries increased by 25 per cent to 90,366 vehicles compared to 2020. Scania says the order intake decreased in the fourth quarter due to long lead times and customers waiting for the introduction of Scania’s Euro 6 trucks. Scania has stated that it now has halted deliveries to Russia following its invasion of Ukraine.

Specifically in the ‘Africa and Oceania’ segment of the report, the order intake for 2021 was 7,705 trucks, which was a 75 per cent increase on 2020’s total of 4,408, and the deliveries total reached 4,991 – a 33 per cent increase on the previous year’s 3,759 trucks delivered.

Operating income amounted to SEK11,294 million (A$ 1,634 million) for the full year 2021.

This was negatively impacted by a provision of SEK5,229 million (A$756.3 million) due to a General Court judgement relating to the

European Commission’s competition investigation. The 2011 investigation by the EC looked into allegations of inappropriate co-operation with other European truck manufacturers.

Scania’s appeal to the General Court was dismissed in February 2022 and the fine upheld. Scania is considering another appeal to the European Court of Justice.

“The year 2021 for Scania has been characterised by record strong demand for trucks while we faced an extreme challenge in meeting this demand due to a shortage of components in the supply chain,” says Scania President and CEO Christian Levin.

“Together with our suppliers, the organisation has made an extraordinarily strong effort to get so many trucks out to our customers in such a difficult situation. The shortage of components, in particular of semiconductors, meant that we were forced to reduce our production volume during the third and fourth quarters of 2021.

“The production disruptions led to a loss of volume of trucks and increased costs. We have also faced increased costs for materials and freight in our supply and delivery flows. [However] both sales and earnings increased in 2021 compared to last year.

“Despite a strong demand for trucks this is not fully reflected in the order intake as we were restrictive with the placing of orders in the fourth quarter due to already large order books and the production start of Scania’s new powertrain program. Vehicle deliveries decreased in the fourth quarter while the service business remained strong with an increase in revenue of 16 per cent.

“Scania’s sales and earnings in Vehicles and Services increased in the fourth quarter compared to the preceding year. Our customers’ high activity levels is also reflected in the growing portfolio and low credit losses in Financial Services.

“During the turbulent year of 2021, we remained focused on Scania’s decarbonisation commitment and we took several important steps towards sustainable transport. In the fourth quarter, we introduced Scania Super with a powertrain based on our new engine platform, which provides fuel savings of at least eight per cent. Just like all our vehicles, it is prepared for operation on renewable fuels.

“We also launched our second generation of hybrids and plug-inhybrids during the fourth quarter.

In innovative partnerships with customers, we have also developed fully electric trucks for the heaviest applications, demonstrating that all applications are possible to electrify.

Serial production of our e-offering; hybrids, plug-in-hybrids and fully electric trucks is now underway side by side with combustion engine vehicles on the production lines.

“We are continuing to invest in electrification in order to drive this shift. In 2021, we increased our R&D investments and we are now investing more in technology linked to electrification than in traditional combustion engine technology. We have pledged to bring our customers at least one new electric product application in the bus and truck segment every year.”

Crumb rubber has already been used on several resurfacing sites in Tasmania

Bridgestone and Eneos launch tyre project

Tasmania crumb rubber initiative

Bridgestone and Eneos launch joint project focused on producing raw materials from used tyres

Local government to set up new crumbing plant in Tassie recycling tyres for road material

Tyre manufacturer Bridgestone Corporation and petroleum company Eneos Corporation have announced the launch of a joint used tyre recycling project.

Synthetic rubber is one of the primary materials used in tyre production and is generally produced from petroleum.

Through this project, Bridgestone and Eneos aim to develop a recycling business that will convert used tyres to raw materials. The joint project will work to develop chemical recycling technologies for used tyres by merging the advanced rubber and polymer material design technologies Bridgestone has cultivated through its tyre and rubber business with the crude oil refining technologies and foundational basic chemical product manufacturing technologies of Eneos.

Specifically, the companies aim to achieve high-yield production of chemical products, such as butadiene – a raw material used in synthetic rubber. These technologies will entail breaking down used tyres through pyrolysis to produce petrochemical feedstocks (naphtha, etc.), which in turn will be utilised to manufacture petrochemical products.

The goal is to achieve large-scale demonstrations by 2030.

As part of its commitment to waste reduction and fostering a circular economy, the Tasmanian government is expanding the use of recycled rubber from truck tyres in road resurfacing this year.

About 1.3 million tyres reach the end of their life each year in Tasmania, most of which ends up in landfill or stockpiles.

Some of these tyres are now being processed into crumb rubber and blended with bitumen for use as asphalt in the state road maintenance program.

Crumb rubber has already been used on several resurfacing sites in the north of the state this summer, including on the Bass, East Tamar and West Tamar highways.

Currently the tyres are processed into crumb rubber in Victoria before being blended with bitumen at Fulton Hogan’s plant in Launceston for use in road resurfacing.

However, the government has committed $4 million to work with industry to establish a crumbing plant in Tasmania so the entire process can be undertaken within the state.

“We are also providing $4 million over four years to assist industry through the transition to using crumb rubber in road resurfacing and ensuring there is no disruption to our roads program,” Tasmania state development minister Michael Ferguson says.

“The Tasmanian Liberal government will continue to work with industry to look for opportunities to utilise crumb rubber in road resurfacing.”

This project is one of two research and development (R&D) projects under the initiative called ‘Developing chemical product manufacturing technologies utilising used tyres’ promoted by the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO) of Japan and adopted as part of the Green Innovation Fund of NEDO. The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) of Japan decided to develop the Green Innovation Fund to achieve Japan’s goal of being carbon neutral by 2050.

“This joint project helps to contribute to the development of a low-carbon, recycling-oriented society, one of the ENEOS Group’s envisioned goals stated in our LongTerm Vision to 2040,” says Eneos Corporation representative director and president Katsuyuki Ota. “We are confident that the joint research and development project with Bridgestone, a leading company in the tyre and rubber industry, will further promote the use of renewable resources.

“Working with our partners across the entire supply chain, we will continue to make every effort to achieve a recycling-oriented society using the technologies we have developed in our existing businesses over many years.”

Inland Rail aims to take 200,000 trucks off the road each year

Inland Rail to slash freight costs Modelling shows it could benefit road-based supply chains the most New CSIRO modelling suggests the Inland Rail could cut freight transport costs by up to $213 million a year, resulting in huge savings for businesses and industries that use the line.

CSIRO’s ‘Inland Rail Supply Chain Mapping Project’ found that a shift from road to Inland Rail could significantly drive down the expense of transporting 22 million tonnes of freight annually.

The modelling shows the Inland Rail’s efficiency could be the key to further driving the growth of regional Australia in coming years.

These potential cost reductions cover more than 12,000 supply chains and 94 commodities, including coal, steel, grains, vehicles, horticulture and livestock.

The modelling projects a 40 per cent reduction in transport costs for freight travelling to Queensland, a 31 per cent drop for New South Wales and a 37 per cent reduction for Victoria.

Businesses relying on road-based supply chain will benefit most from the switch, profiting an average transport saving of $80.77 per tonne, as the modelling shows savings will only increase as Australia’s freight task grows in the future.

“Inland Rail gives us the greatest opportunity for boosting economic development in regional areas, which is why we are delivering the project as quickly as possible,” deputy PM Barnaby Joyce says.

“Shifting freight from road to rail will drive down the cost of transporting goods and commodities to ports and better facilitate the sale of products, like coal, that underpin our standard of living.”

NSW launches Freight Advisory Council Expressions of interest are now open for those wanting to join New South Wales has launched the new NSW Freight Transport Advisory Council (FTAC) to oversee the state’s freight industry and supply chain.

The new council will replace the existing Freight and Logistics Advisory Council (FLAC) and Road Freight Industry Council (RFIC) to represent the entire freight chain across different transport modes as a single council.

The council will meet over supply chain and freight matters while also discussing new strategies and issues with the NSW government.

NSW regional transport and roads minister Sam Farraway launched the council in March to provide a more efficient process when evaluating freight needs.

“Freight is a priority for the NSW government and this council will be a place where members can exchange views and engage in frank and robust discussions directly with the government,” Farraway says.

“The new body will not only discuss freight and supply chain issues, but provide input into other

The new freight council will deliberate over NSW’s supply chain issues

government strategies, policies and projects.

“Industry insight will be critical to the success of our policy framework so we are looking for engaged leaders across the transport industry to be part of the new council and invite them to lodge their interest.”

Set to be comprised of 15 members selected through an open expression of interest process, the council will meet four times a year and will bring industry experts together to look at freight in NSW in its entirety.

“Our freight networks underpin the success of our entire economy – the challenges and opportunities in this space need to be considered holistically,” Farraway says.

“I thank those who were involved with FLAC and RFIC, their contributions have been considerable and I would encourage those council members to consider applying to be part of the new FTAC.”

News The Victorian government and the VTA’s new program will provide more jobs for Australians

Victorian investment to open up freight industry The Victorian government’s funding will help people enter the freight and logistics sector A new Victorian government employment project will provide a direct pathway to critical roles in the freight and logistics sector, allowing more women to enter the industry.

Freight Victoria is fast-tracking 125 jobs in the sector in partnership with the Victorian Transport Association (VTA) to fill workforce shortages with freight companies over the next two years.

The announcement comes as the freight industry contributes $21 billion to the state’s economy each year.

The new Freight Industry Training for Jobseekers Project will train candidates to secure long-term job opportunities to ensure essential supplies get to where they need to be.

The program focuses specifically on women, who currently make up

just 16 per cent of employees in the sector.

The $3 million employment project through Jobs Victoria will deliver freight industry-specific training programs in critical areas such as heavy vehicle driving, forklift driving and warehousing.

Upon completing at least two of these programs, job seekers will be job-ready for a career in the transport and logistics sector says the VTA, with it pledging to provide ongoing support to both employees and transport companies to ensure they are set up for long-term success.

A specific focus will be on recruiting those whose employment was heavily affected by the pandemic, for example women (specifically those over 45 years old), people under 25, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island people and people from non-English speaking backgrounds.

The changes came into effect on April 4

NT livestock loading rules change Vehicles will require authorised loading labels, with interim permits issued for instate vehicles New speed limits, adjusted concessional mass limits and a new permit process are among recent changes in the NT Livestock Loading Scheme amendment.

Key points of the changes, which came into force on April 4, include: • adjusted concessional mass limits

to provide for increasing unladen mass of modern prime movers and the use of auxiliary fuel tanks on trailers • a new permit process providing and administratively efficient way to apply the existing (unchanged) fee structure

The unladen weight of vehicles will be verified at a NT Vehicle Inspection Station or NT government-manned weighbridge.

Mass concession provided by interstate livestock loading schemes do not apply in NT. For vehicles registered interstate that have not been inspected and affixed with NT livestock loading labels, interstate interim permits may be issued, which allows 12 months for vehicles to be inspected and enter the NT scheme.

News Supply chains have been heavily disrupted by Covid, flooding and the impacts of the war in Ukraine

Unions call for mandatory consultation TWU, AWU and SDA also demand job security during uncertain times and free RAT kits for all workers A joint statement from three workers unions has called on the federal government to include worker representation in its floodresponse planning.

The Transport Workers’ Union (TWU), Australian Workers’ Union (AWU), and the Shop, Distributive and Allied Employees Association (SDA) have written to transport minister Barnaby Joyce to safeguard supply chains affected by external shocks and ensure worker representation in decision-making, with flood-ravaged communities cut off from essentials and global supply chains threatened by the situation in Ukraine.

“Unions and worker voices have been excluded from the federal government response to flooding, despite transport, agriculture and retail workers being some of the worst affected and most important to keep food and essential supplies reaching people in need,” a joint statement from the three bodies states.

“The lack of reprieve between major flood-damaged freight rail lines and highways to Western Australia, South Australia and

Michael Kaine

Northern Territory, and the current flooding disaster impacting Queensland and NSW, highlights an urgency that the government must act upon.”

The alliance warns that preparation must begin now to protect essential supply chain workplaces from future Covid variants and flu season this winter through the supply of free rapid antigen tests and workplace safety plans.

The unions recommend the government should: • secure jobs through regulation to

guard against the ‘Amazon effect’ • provide free rapid tests for all supply chain workers • focus on mandatory consultation on policy changes with a standing supply chain committee involving unions, workers and industry groups like ARTIO. “Recent knee-jerk political decisions made without consultation have deliberately exposed hardworking families to Covid and proposed weakening truck and forklift licencing rules in Australia’s deadliest industry.

“The unions are calling for federal regulation including an independent body to create and enforce minimum standards to stop gig behemoths like Amazon from squeezing supply chains, fragmenting work, and driving down safe conditions, making it harder to respond to crises,” it states.

TWU national secretary Michael Kaine says the absence of a national plan has left transport workers scrambling to pick up the pieces of supply chain chaos at great risk to their own safety.

“There’s been a sharp rise in truck crash deaths,” Kaine says.

“Last month we reported that a truck driver had been killed every six days since a Senate report was tabled in August calling for regulatory solutions to make trucking safer.

“The recommendations have still not been acknowledged by the Morrison government.

“Our supply chains remain vulnerable to external shocks which are going to keep coming.

“Essential industries will only bounce back when they are equipped to do so.

“That means workers need good, secure conditions, free rapid tests to prepare for the next variant, and a say over policy changes that directly affect their work and their safety.”

Prime movers the number one asset write-off item CBA data shows the instant asset write-off scheme is benefiting the financial growth of prime movers New data from the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (CBA) shows prime movers are experiencing the largest new lending growth courtesy of the federal government’s extended instant asset write-off scheme.

CBA figures show prime movers had a growth of 1,667 per cent as small and medium-sized businesses hold an increased demand for equipment and machinery financing from July to December 2021.

This coincides with the extension of the instant asset write-off scheme by the federal government, which is now available until mid-2023.

Forklifts (282 per cent) and heavy trailers (254 per cent) both had high lending growth, but prime movers were far and away the asset that has had the highest increase in demand

in the second half of 2021.

The data shows South Australia was the state with the highest demand for equipment financing in 2021, with lending increasing to 198 per cent. Small business owners in Victoria (181 per cent), Western Australia (84 per cent) and New South Wales (53 per cent) also had a rising need for equipment financing, particularly in prime movers.

CBA’s data suggests the demand for prime movers as an asset writeoff item is significantly higher in the second half of 2021, especially when compared with the same period of the 2021 and pre-pandemic 2020 financial years.

CBA executive GM business lending, Grant Cairns says businesses are planning for the future by investing in equipment.

CBA says small business customers can access up to $100,000 for business vehicles without needing to provide detailed financial statements

“While many have been cautious, we have seen strong demand for asset financing, largely driven by government incentives and businesses trying to manage supply chain disruptions,” Cairns says.

“Businesses – both small and large – are now buying equipment and machinery months in advance in response to supply constraints.

“After the government extended the instant asset write-off scheme last year, we saw a big uplift in financing for vehicles and equipment and we expect this to continue into 2023,” he says.

The CBA says small business customers can access up to $100,000 for business vehicles without needing to provide detailed financial statements.

Diagnostics: Open Road Transport operators need to be able to access driving licence information

Safety trumps privacy almost every time Operators need to be able to securely access driver licence records Our industry values safety, I’d argue, as much as any in the transport sector, and more than most.

Maybe it’s the high proportion of everyday men and women who are its fabric but, at the end of the day, we’re all focused on moving goods from A to B without injury or loss of life.

It’s frustrating to see the way red tape and rules have accumulated over the years to make the road freight task harder, without having much basis in safety.

While it’s hard to argue the good intent in strengthening Chain of Responsibility (COR) laws, it’s easy to find fault in the way they work, and almost every time that’s down to a lack of practical experience on the part of their designers.

The COR laws reinforce operators having a responsibility to prevent or minimise potential injury, danger or loss by ensuring their transport activities are safe.

Part of that duty is to ensure that drivers are fit for work and properly licensed to drive the heavy vehicle assigned to them.

Nice in theory. Impossible in practice.

Operators need to be aware, for example, if a driver has accumulated enough demerit points to lose their licence.

In most jurisdictions, transport authorities do all they can to stop an operator obtaining data about offences and other licensing details when taking on an employee or engaging a subcontractor.

Queensland now provides operators with information about

Warren Clark, CEO of the National Road Transport Association

offences for their vehicles but it took a Parliamentary enquiry to get there.

The Transport and Public Works Committee conducted an inquiry into the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018 (QLD) in 2018.

As part of this, the Queensland Council for Civil Liberties raised concerns around the risk of information disclosure of employees who are victims of domestic violence to their former partners.

The Committee examined the evidence and concluded that that victims of domestic violence are able to apply to the Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR) to have their personal details and record suppressed.

While that puts an onus on support services to inform the victims to make an application, the state government felt the privacy rules had to be amended in the interests of making the state’s roads safer.

Balancing the need for privacy with safety is always contentious and common sense needs to prevail.

The COR positive safety duties mean that operators must have adequate information available to them that enables them to assess

whether a driver does or does not have a current licence or has accumulated actual or pending demerit points that mean they should not be permitted to drive.

Our current laws require operators to be psychics. They can’t possibly know what they haven’t been told.

Let’s give them a system, with driver agreement, that flags a problem with demerit points that keeps everybody safe.

There is no uniformity in Australian law for operators to securely access driving records or information about road breaches by their drivers and that clearly needs to change.

More broadly, NatRoad has been saying for years the HVNL has increasingly been more about petty enforcement, penalties and red tape rather than real reform.

I know a review of HVNL reform processes is in place and I don’t want to pre-empt the outcome, but there are operational issues that defy common sense and need to be fixed now.

Why not get rid of fines for matters that no other industry has to put up with? Like not drawing a straight line in the work diary, or pressing hard enough or not getting the name of a town right?

These are mistakes for which NatRoad members have been heavily fined when a warning system for administrative issues should have been in place.

Being an expert at geographical names or an ace in school spelling bees back in the day has nothing to do with good fatigue management.

Streamlining the clumsy system of permits that is a drag on productivity for both industry and regulators is another long-running bugbear.

Surely we can better use digital technology to streamline the permits system and to be more freightfriendly without cutting corners.

The additional funding will help upgrade regional bridges and freight networks

$40M investment in regional roads The cash injection will be used on Bridges Renewal Program projects The federal government is investing another $40 million into upgrades to bridges on regional roads to keep freight moving and supply chains open, while also creating more jobs in the regions.

An additional $10 million each year for the next four years will be injected into the Bridges Renewal Program (BRP), increasing annual funding to $95 million in a massive boost for the freight industry.

With more than 85 per cent of projects funded under the BRP located in regional Australia, the extra funding will cater to improving regional roads and keeping regional communities connected.

Projects eligible for this support include replacing and widening bridges, strengthening existing structures and upgrading floodways to bridges.

According to the government, the extra funding will support more projects and jobs while also boosting regional industries across Australia.

“To make our country as strong as possible, as quickly as possible, we must support the growth of the industries that drive our economy,” deputy PM Barnaby Joyce says.

“The federal government recognises that many of these industries are in regional Australia, including the mining and agricultural exporting businesses that help pay for the services all Australians rely on.

“Building new bridges and upgrading existing structures will strengthen our freight network and ensure valuable commodities continue flowing to international and domestic buyers.”

Since the BRP commenced in 2015–16, the federal government says it has supported 730 projects, of which 495 projects have been completed, making this extra funding vital to the future of our country’s freight networks.

“The government’s ongoing support for the freight industry recognises its critical role in keeping the nation moving, both during the Covid-19 pandemic and recent severe weather events,” assistant minister for road safety and freight transport Scott Buchholz says.

Horrocks highway upgrade receives funding boost The additional upgrades will allow for increased accessibility for SA freight networks The Australian government has announced a $400 million funding boost to help make the Horrocks Highway upgrades safer.

The funding injection will improve the key freight route of the Horrocks Highway for local primary producers and will enhance the driver experience for those travelling to the Clare Valley and Mid North.

This latest funding increase from the Australian government brings its total investment to $84 million in an 80/20 split with the South Australian government on the $105 million project.

Additional upgrades to the region will help widen and strengthen bridges at Wakefield River, Hutt River and Rocky River.

The added funding will also be used to upgrade local road junctions, deliver shoulder sealing and curve widening, install safety barriers and audio tactile line marking and provide overtaking lane extensions at Tarlee and Templers.

These upgrades support the installation of new overtaking lanes and shoulder seals along priority sections between Clare and Auburn and south of Giles Corner, as well as other works on the area like the improvement of the Gladstone level crossing and a bridge and culvert replacement north of Melrose.

Upgrades planned for the Horrocks Highway

“Safer and more efficient highways mean freight can be moved to international and domestic buyers more quickly, ensuring these important sectors continue to drive our economy,” Deputy PM Barnaby Joyce says.

“It will also support 135 jobs during construction to provide a much-needed short-term economic boost.”

Finance minister and senator for South Australia, Simon Birmingham says the road upgrade will the safety and road quality of travelling on the highway, while also increasing accessibility for local freight networks.

“The Horrocks Highway is a vital rural route in South Australia and is a major gateway connecting primary producers and tourists alike from the Clare Valley to the Mid North of our state,” Birmingham says.

“Upgrading this key route will also improve access for our primary producers and local businesses to domestic and international markets, ensuring their local produce can get to where it needs to.”

Tooraweenah Road upgrade a step closer Last stage of Albany Ring Road works underway The upgrades are proposed to improve freight efficiency and reduce congestion The second stage of the Albany Ring Road project is officially underway, with work beginning on the final six-kilometre section between South Coast Highway and Princess Royal Drive.

The project will establish an 11-kilometre connection between Albany Highway and Princess Royal Drive that the federal government says allows for free-flowing traffic and greater freight efficiency.

After a month of pre-construction activity to prepare the site for earthworks and bridge works, which included the installation of new fencing, topsoil removal and services protection works, the final part of the Ring Road works is set to ease congestion in the area according to the government.

Following significant design changes last year to the final section of the Ring Road works, the overall footprint of vegetation clearing and local connectivity are improved features of the final section of the Albany Ring Road.

The federal government has committed $140 million towards the $175 million project, with the Western Australian government investing $35 million.

“The Albany Ring Road will

The road works includes adding bridges to connect drivers to Albany Highway

improve connections between major freight infrastructure, including airports and commercial and industrial areas, which will help industries grow and support more jobs,” transport minister Barnaby Joyce says.

“This will drive new and expanded economic opportunities in the local area and beyond.”

Construction of the first grade separated interchange in the Great Southern Region between Menang Drive and Albany Highway is set to open in April, with works on the bridge and road ramps in the region making good progress.

When completed, vehicles heading north from the Menang Drive intersection will cross over the new bridge and utilise a loop ramp to access Albany Highway.

“The Albany Ring Road will take heavy vehicles away from the town centre, making for improved commute times through the city,” WA transport minister Rita Saffioti says.

Works on the major freight routes complement the many projects being launched in the WA local region.

The federal government says additional funding will improve safety and congestion The federal government has unlocked $22.96 million in funding for the Tooraweenah Road upgrade, bringing the project another step closer to reality.

The project is fully funded under the government’s roads of strategic importance initiative and will deliver upgrades along approximately 56.8 kilometres of Tooraweenah Road, within Coonamble Shire, NSW. “This investment will improve flood resilience, safety, localised congestion and overtaking opportunities, and further demonstrates that our government is delivering the road infrastructure upgrades locals need and deserve as part of our $110 billion infrastructure pipeline,” transport minister Barnaby Joyce says.

The government says the upgrade will include widening the entire length of the road, sealing a 25.4-kilometre stretch and heavy patching and rehabilitation works on the remaining 31 kilometres of sealed road.

“These upgrades will improve access, reduce travel times and increase safety for all road users, ensuring motorists get to their destination sooner and safer,” member for Parkes Mark Coulton says.

“Our $60 million investment is delivering new overtaking lanes on the Newell Highway in partnership with the NSW government, while a further $12.5 million federal investment is jointly funding the Pooncarie Road to Menindee upgrade.”

Coulton says the project is a sign the government will continue to invest in infrastructure projects that matter to those in regional NSW. Major construction on the Tooraweenah Road Upgrade is due to start in July 2022 and is expected to be completed by May 2024.

CartonCloud index shows record optimism

Vincent Fletcher

Survey indicates companies are looking to hire more and more people as the industry booms Logistics IT firm CartonCloud’s recent survey of the warehouse and transport business suggests the industry shows a record high level of confidence in its future.

The industry report forecasts a hiring boom in 2022, as logistics businesses are planning greater investments in technology to seize opportunities to grow following the Covid-19 pandemic.

CartonCloud’s report measured the sentiments of warehouse and transport businesses in the final quarter of 2021, with 126 respondents providing feedback on operating conditions, workforce and hiring opportunities going forward.

The results recorded the highest quarter of optimism for 2021, with more than 75 per cent of respondents holding positive outlooks for the current economic climate, while 93 per cent of senior managers and business owners also responded positively.

According to the survey, companies say they are looking for roles grounded in industry experience and expertise, such as multi-licensed drivers, experienced

warehouse operators and supply chain management.

Not just focused on data automation and optimising workflow, businesses also say they are looking to increase their staff levels.

“The pandemic caused a lot of upheaval, but the index is showing that businesses are achieving positive outcomes as they adjust to the new norm,” CartonCloud CEO Vincent Fletcher says.

“The e-commerce sector is growing rapidly and has had a huge impact on the logistics industry; massive consumer spending in November and December led to the highest demand levels on record for logistics.

“Businesses are seeking to keep that momentum going in the months ahead by investing in technology to optimise operations and getting the most from the resources they have on hand.”

With 81 per cent of transport operations and 65 per cent of warehouse operations indicating a high likelihood of creating new jobs in the near future according to the survey, this high optimism for the industry follows a year of growth.

Cummins expands engine range

Cummins says it will offer a ‘fuel-agnostic’ variant of the X series

Cummins alt fuel strategy to include hydrogen, natural among other combustibles Cummins has announced that it is expanding its powertrain platforms, leveraging a range of lower carbon fuel types.

As the industry’s first unified, fuelagnostic engines, these platforms will use engine blocks and core components that share common architectures and will be optimised for different low-carbon fuel types.

“Getting to zero is not a light-switch event. Carbon emissions that we put into the atmosphere today will have a lasting impact. This means anything we can do to start reducing the carbon footprint today is a win for the planet. We need to take action now,” says Cummins engine business president Srikanth Padmanabhan.

“Having a variety of lower carbon options is particularly important considering the variation in duty cycles and operating environments across the many markets we serve.

There is no single solution or “magic bullet” that will work for all application types or all end users.”

These new fuel-agnostic engine platforms will feature a series of engine versions that are derived from a common base engine, which means they have a high degree of parts commonality. Below the head gasket of each engine will largely have similar components and above the head gasket will have different components for different fuel types.

Each engine version will operate using a different, single fuel.

This new design approach will be applied across the company’s legendary B, L and X-Series engine portfolios, which will be available for diesel, natural gas and hydrogen.

“This is a new way of designing and developing lower emission internal combustion powertrains that meet the unique needs of the

transportation industry while leveraging the benefits of a common product architecture and footprint where possible,” says Cummins engine business VP of engineering Jonathon White.

“This unique technology approach will allow end users to more seamlessly pick the right powertrain for their application with the lowest CO2 impact.”

Parts commonality will offer increased benefits for both truck original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and end users, including similar engine footprints, diagnoses and service intervals. This means it will be easier for OEMs to integrate a variety of fuel types across the same truck chassis and there will be minimal costs to train technicians and re-tool service locations, resulting in a lower total cost of ownership for the end user.

Multiple choice The new seven-seat Jeep Grand Cherokee L will arrive in Australia later this year The new seven-seat Jeep Grand Cherokee L is set to debut in Australia in mid-2022, for those who want a high level of style to go with their off-roading and have the cash to splash to achieve it.

Starting at $82,250 (plus on-road and dealer-delivery costs) for the Night Eagle model, the Grand Cherokee L Limited rises to $87,950 (plus on-road and dealer-delivery costs) and adds the Selec-Terrain traction management system and a 4x4 active single-speed transfer case.

The top-end Grand Cherokee L Summit Reserve comes from $115,450 (plus on-road and dealerdelivery costs) and upgrades to a Quadra-Drive 11 Active 4x4 System with Selec-Terrain and Quadra Lift Air Suspension plus a 4x4 twospeed active transfer case with low-range gear.

Its off-roading capabilities are due to Jeep’s three 4x4 systems – the

Quadra-Trac I, Quadra-Trac II and Quadra-Drive II with rear electronic limited slip-differential (eLSD). All three systems are equipped with an active transfer case to improve traction by moving torque to work with the wheel with the most grip.

Quadra-Trac I is a single-speed active transfer case that uses input from multiple sensors in the vehicle to pre-emptively adjust torque distribution and will continue to reactively make corrections if tyre slip occurs. When wheel slippage is detected, up 100 per cent of available torque is instantly routed to the axle with the most traction.

The Quadra-Trac II’s two-speed active transfer case with low-range gear reduction uses input from multiple sensors in the vehicle to preemptively adjust torque distribution and will continue to reactively make corrections if tire slip occurs.

The system detects tyre slip and reacts by distributing engine torque to tyres with traction. In some cases, the vehicle will anticipate low traction and pre-emptively adjust in order to limit or eliminate tyre slip.

Quadra-Drive II is available on the Overland 4x4 model when equipped with the Off-Road Group and comes as standard on Summit models.

The Quadra-Lift air suspension, with electronic adaptive damping, delivers class-leading ground clearance and water fording. The system automatically adjusts the shock tuning to changing road conditions for enhanced comfort, stability and control.

This system features five height settings that can either be set to automatic or be manually controlled and cover normal ride, off-road, park and the sporty Aero mode. With this suspension, the Grand Cherokee L features a 30.1-degree approach

angle, a 23.6-degree departure angle and 22.6-degree breakover angle.

And the driving options don’t stop there, with the Selec-Terrain traction management system letting customers choose different on- and off-road settings to modify performance, via five terrain modes – auto, sport, rock, snow and mud/sand.

This feature electronically coordinates up to six different powertrains, 4x4 torque split, braking and handling, steering and suspension systems, including throttle control, transmission shift, transfer case and traction control, stability control, anti-lock braking system (ABS) and steering feel.

Hill-descent control is standard on Overland and Summit models and works in forward and reverse.

“As the most refined and technologically advanced model we’ve released to date, the arrival of the all-new Grand Cherokee L

represents another landmark Jeep moment and sets the new standard for our brand,” Jeep Australia managing director Kevin Flynn says.

“The added versatility of its sevenseat layout goes hand-in-hand with an entirely new architecture, myriad safety and assistance systems, exceptional material quality and the latest advancements in our famed 4x4 capability, making the Grand Cherokee L a truly premium offering in every sense of the word.”

News Mitsubishi’s latest eCanter test vehicles

New eCanter test vehicle unveiled The new model will continue Mitsubishi’s turn to EV technology Mitsubishi has unveiled the test vehicle of its next generation eCanter for the first time at the company’s headquarters at Kawasaki City.

Japan’s first series-produced allelectric light-duty eCanter truck was launched in 2017, with Mitsubishi then introducing an improved model with advanced safety features in 2020.

Mitsubishi is now proceeding with the development and testing stages of its next generation eCanter ahead of its upcoming launch, with this

newer model coming with further upgrades in terms of range and safety features.

The next generation eCanter lineup will be expanded to meet various transportation needs and shows Mitsubishi’s wish to increase electric vehicle (EV) investment at its new EV-focused testing facilities.

The new eCanter range will go through a rigorous testing period of over one million kilometres of driving tests before the official

Hino Australia unaffected by data scandal Australian arm of the Japanese truck maker says local products unaffected by Japanese product sales suspension Hino Motor Sales Australia has issued a response to the emerging emissions data scandal engulfing the parent company since Hino Motors Ltd. made the revelation that it faked emissions and fuel consumption data for some Japan-only models.

The three engine types at the centre of the controversy were used in multiple Hino Japan models as well as for certain Isuzu and Toyota bus models.

Hino Australia says that there are no implications for Hino trucks in Australia but that Hino Motor Ltd is still looking into the matter.

The company says the misrepresented data affects at least 115,526 trucks sold in Japan since 2016.

Hino Motor Sales Australia’s statement is as follows: “On Friday 4th March 4, 2022 Hino Motors, Ltd. (HML) announced it has suspended the sale of three engine

models and their corresponding vehicles in Japan following HML identifying past misconduct in relation to its applications for certification concerning the emissions and fuel economy performance of its engines for the Japanese market.

“HML has identified misconduct concerning the falsification of engine performance data in emissions durability testing for one engine model and in the measurement of fuel economy performance in

product launch, with the various models going through hot and cold climates both domestically and abroad to be tested in all conditions.

Mitsubishi eCanters have been used since 2017 for many transport company’s logistics needs, with over 350 vehicles being introduced worldwide.

The eCanter is also part of Mitsubishi’s plans to continue electrifying all new models by 2039 and accelerating its shift to CO2 neutrality.

“We are proceeding with the development of electrified vehicles and further expanding our EVdedicated infrastructure,” Mitsubishi vice-president Hironobu Ando says.

“Our ultimate goal is to achieve CO2 neutrality in our commercial vehicles and we hope to contribute to the sustainability of not only our customers’ businesses but also that of society as a whole.”

Hino has suspended sales of some models in Japan

certification tests for two other engine models.

“In addition, HML has identified a problem concerning the fuel economy performance of another engine model.

“The announced misconduct and issues related to engine performance do not affect the drivability of the affected vehicles and raise no vehicle safety concerns.

“Hino Motor Sales Australia (HMSA) distributes Hino vehicles with many engine variants available for a broad range of uses across its light-duty (300 Series), medium-duty (500 Series) and heavy-duty (700 Series) trucks, as well as buses including the Poncho, RN and RK models.

“The suspension of sale in Japan affects engine variants certified by the Japanese regulator, which have not been sold in Australia.

“While there are no implications for the Australian market at this time, HML’s investigations are ongoing.

HMSA is committed to engaging with the relevant authorities about these matters.”

A mock-up of what the proposed Pure Hydrogen truck will look like

Hydrogenfuelled garbage trucks to hit Qld The partnership between Pure Hydrogen and JJ’s Waste and Recycling will begin later this year Clean energy company Pure Hydrogen has reached an agreement to develop Australia’s first hydrogen-fuelled garbage truck.

Under a new agreement with JJ’s Waste and Recycling, Pure Hydrogen will supply a hydrogen fuel cell sidelift RCV truck to the domestic waste collection provider.

This arrangement will begin later in the year, with the first truck set to be based on the Gold Coast and work across the suburbs of southeast Queensland.

Pure Hydrogen will also supply JJ’s Waste and Recycling with green hydrogen made from waste-to-hydrogen along with a refuelling service unique to Pure Hydrogen.

The two companies will undertake a trial program, with the first vehicle to determine how effective the partnering arrangement is going forward.

If the deployment is successful, it can benefit both companies, with JJ’s Waste having over 2,000 trucks in its fleet that could be replaced by environmentally friendly Pure Hydrogen trucks that require less maintenance as they reach their end of life.

The move to hydrogen could also be cleaner and more economical compared to using diesel, which is currently costing about $1.98 per litre based on current Brisbane terminal gate prices.

Volvo Electric passes testing phase

The new Volvo FL Electric was recently tested in Australian conditions

The new electric truck was subjected to Australia’s climate to observe battery performance The Volvo Group Australia has announced its latest FL Electric has passed a multi-faceted testing program.

The tests determined how fast charging and extreme heat can affect range, battery charging and vehicle performance.

The FL Electric, which is equipped with Volvo’s second-generation battery packs and has a total capacity of 265kW, was subjected to a series of on-road tests by local Volvo engineers in over 35-degree heat.

Testers loaded the FL Electric to a gross weight of 15,000 kilograms and then drove it for over 730 kilometres over a variety of traffic conditions and terrain, including climbing up to a six per cent gradient.

The FL Electric travelled on the Toowoomba bypass as well as other routes through inner-city traffic to test its performance in all conditions.

With a predicted energy consumption of 0.9kWh per kilometre, local testing found the consumption of the truck’s secondgeneration battery pack to be lightly lower at 0.73kWh per kilometre.

Another factor observed was the potential of the FL Electric’s regenerative braking, which came to the fore down the Toowoomba range.

Braking energy alone was enough to replenish the battery power by nearly five per cent.

“Temperature is the enemy of battery performance in any vehicle,” Volvo VP of technology business development Paul Illmer says.

“For our industry to go electric, our customers need to know we’ve tried and tested our technology in adverse conditions rather than report contrived figures derived from testing in a controlled environment.”

The Volvo Group Australia says it is “extremely happy” with the test’s results, which proves the FL Electric is a viable option for a range of urban distribution roles while also being able to tolerate Australia’s climate.

The test drive also included a 40-minute fast charge from 40 per cent battery capacity to understand how opportunity charging may be integrated into an everyday transport operation.

“This year marks the start of commercial sales here in Australia and I look forward to seeing an electric truck with real world usability hit the local market,” Illmer says.

Customer deliveries of the Volvo FL Electric are anticipated to begin during 2022.

The new electric truck will help BevChain transport beers around Sydney

Bevchain introduces first electric truck to fleet Linfox subsidiary bringing an electric beer truck to its Sydney fleet Beverage logistics partner BevChain is introducing Sydney’s first electric beer truck to its Lion fleet this week.

The wholly owned subsidiary of Linfox is trialling electric vehicles with its major customers after Linfox recently acquired a range of electric trucks for its partnership with Bunnings Australia.

The Fuso eCanter will deliver kegs and packaged beers from BevChain’s automated warehouse to a selection of pubs, bars and clubs in metropolitan Sydney.

Linfox says the Fuso eCanter will produce at least 60 tonnes less carbon dioxide equivalent emissions annually compared to a same-sized Euro 6 diesel-powered truck.

According to BevChain, the truck’s operation is underpinned by Linfox Logistics’ Leading the Way 2025 business strategy, as the company aims to act sustainably.

“BevChain is excited to introduce the first electric truck for Lion. This truck will be powered by clean energy from our automated distribution centre, which is situated strategically next to the Lion brewery in Auburn, New South Wales,” BevChain President Misha Shliapnikoff says.

“As Lion’s logistics partner, we’re committed to working with Lion to reduce carbon emissions and meet our shared sustainability targets.”

Linfox and BevChain will operate six electric vehicles for major customers across Victoria and New South Wales by March 2022.

Big kilometres on Bridgestone

Hi-Trans claims 364,688km from a set of M866 tyres

National transport company claims more than 360,000km from a set of drive tyres National freight provider Hi-Trans Express says it is reaping the efficiencies of the Bridgestone M866, with the new drive tyre exceeding mileage expectations across linehaul operations and lowering costs, off-road downtime, and its environmental footprint.

Brisgestone says its M866 has delivered on a promise of industryleading operating life, with Hi-Trans Express recording 364,688km from a set. Another set of M866 tyres involved in the trials were also projected to have a life of over 360,000km.

The net result of Hi-Trans Express’ experience with M866 is an average of five to 10 per cent improvement over the former class champion M766, and more than 20 per cent compared to its nearest competitor, says Bridgestone.

According to national workshop manager at Hi-Trans Express Andy Mickan, there were high expectations for the M866 based on the performance of the M766.

“These are the best tyres we’ve ever run. I’ve only got positive things to say since we started running them,” Mickan says.

“The M766 was a very good tyre overall, but we’ve never seen results like we have from the M866. We’ve always been a fan of Bridgestone’s products, but this is simply the best out there.”

The M866 was engineered specifically for Australia, with Bridgestone Australia’s local Technical Field Services team

taking the lead on the development to ensure the new tyre met the demands of the market. It was then proven with over 13 million kilometres of testing by Australian customers to validate the design concept.

Hi-Trans Express was one of 10 customers to conduct extensive real-world testing of the M866.

The trial was conducted on the company’s Adelaide to Sydney and Adelaide to Emmdale return linehaul runs.

Hi-Trans Express has more than 50 years of experience and operates an Australia-wide national road transport network with a linehaul fleet of Kenworth and Mercedes Actros prime movers. The fleet regularly runs between its company depots in Adelaide, Brisbane, Sydney, Broken Hill, Townsville and Melbourne, agents in Perth, Darwin and Hobart, and customers throughout the country.

“We keep track of every part on our trucks to evaluate cost per km, and ensure we are maintaining our fleet with longevity in mind,” says Mickan.

“The ability to keep our trucks on the road with less tyre changes is obviously a benefit for us, and we’ve never seen tyre lifespan like this before.”

M866 was introduced as the successor to both the M766 drive tyre, as well as the off-road skewed M722 product – which Bridgestone says combines the industry leading mileage of the M766 with the durability and versatility of the M722.

Mercedes-Benz releases improved Vito The first updated Vito models will arrive in May Mercedes-Benz has released new models in its Vito van range, which features an engine from the powertrain portfolio of other MercedesBenz cars.

Vito models will have an OM 654 four-cylinder engine, the benefits of which include: • It comes standard with the 9GTronic nine-speed automatic transmission, replacing the current seven-speed and bringing with it a wider ratio spread, which results in improved drive quality and fuel efficiency.

• It incorporates a diesel particulate filter (DPF) design, which is closer to the engine block, causing it to reach its optimum operating temperature faster to increase efficiency.

• An all-aluminium construction with low 90mm cylinder spacing, camshaft drive at the rear and Lanchester balancer shafts on the left and right, meaning it provides a compact and light design that contributes to engine durability and reliability.

• Improved noise and vibration characteristics, meaning it’s quiet inside the vehicle and disruptive vibrations are reduced.

This OM 654 engine now becomes

standard on all Vito 116 and 119 variants with the same power and torque outputs.

Other specifications, including the Distronic active drive assist system, tinted windows and allseason rubber floor mats, have been added to the new Vito line.

Mercedes-Benz has also changed the name of its Valente

The new Vito models will have an OM 654 four-cylinder engine

model to the Vito Tourer with changes made to the engine and transmission, with 17-inch alloy wheels also being added onto the model.

The renaming aligns it with the global naming convention for this product line and future products, including the eVito Tourer, which is set to arrive later this year.

An all-aluminium body provides a light and compact design. Inset: Noise and vibration have been reduced inside

Special milestone for Isuzu Australia Brisbane Isuzu sold Isuzu’s 250,000th Australian truck – a medium-duty FRR 110-260 MWB Auto Queensland-based civil and equipment hire specialists Sherrin Rentals recently became the recipient of the 250,000th Isuzu truck to be sold in Australia.

Sherrin Rentals took delivery of a brand-new medium-duty FRR 110-260 MWB Auto in Pinkenba, Brisbane.

The truck was fitted with a 13metre elevated work platform and processed through the Brisbane Isuzu dealership, bringing up a major milestone for the Isuzu brand as it celebrates 50 years selling trucks in Australia and 33 consecutive years as truck market leader.

Sherrin Rentals MD Grant Sherrin was delighted with the new addition, which was decked out in company colours to suit its purpose-built Pinkenba workshop.

“The reliability of the product and it being fit-for-purpose are key factors. We’ve been very happy with the performance of Isuzu as Sherrin Rentals continues to expand,” Sherrin says.

“This particular model was

chosen for its payload capacity and its suitability to match our body build with the correct distribution of weight over the axles.”

The milestone truck sale is especially important for Isuzu, which has been in a partnership with Sherrin Rentals for many years in Queensland.

Isuzu Australia Limited (IAL) fleet sales manager for Queensland and Northern Territory Steven Goulding had nothing but praise for the historic transaction.

“It’s fantastic to be standing here, having worked with the Sherrin family and the business for a long time,” Goulding says.

“The addition of this truck to their fleet reflects not only their support for us, but how strongly the Isuzu product has supported businesses over the 50 years we’ve been operating in Australia.

“For fleets like Sherrin, having the comfort of the market leader behind them and our broad product range of over 200 models to specify from gives them peace of mind you just can’t find elsewhere.

The truck was fitted with a 13-metre elevated work platform

“As far as Isuzu’s concerned, reliability is everything. Our dealer network, such as the team at Brisbane Isuzu, help us in making sure we live by those words.”

But the milestone 250,000th sale of an Isuzu truck to a valued customer like Sherrin Rentals wasn’t just momentous for the two parties.

Truck salesman at Brisbane Isuzu Eagle Farm Oscar Akbar says the dealership team were thrilled to facilitate the sale to a loyal customer who was important to the local industry.

“Being on this journey with Sherrin Rentals and being here for the delivery of the 250,000th truck is a very auspicious occasion for Brisbane Isuzu,” Akbar says.

“We’ve had a long, outstanding relationship with the Sherrin family, which I believe remains strong because our core values of conduct, capability, performance and integrity are well-matched.

“I hope I am involved in the delivery of the 300,000th Isuzu truck in the future!”

Truck makers are shunning Russia

Truck makes stop Russian production Truck makers band together to exert pressure on Russia Truck makers including Scania, Daimler and Volvo have turned a cold shoulder in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine with sales, parts and manufacturing capabilities frozen.

Daimler Truck says it will suspend production and parts supply to Russia’s largest truck maker, Kamaz, with which it has a joint-venture agreement for production of trucks in Russia. This halting of business is to have immediate effect according to Reuters who cited a Daimler internal memo shared with the news outlet.

Mere months after its spin-off from Daimler, Mercedes-Benz Group is also reportedly looking to divest its 15 per cent share of Kamaz according to German newspaper Handelsblatt.

Volvo has suspended all operations at its production facility in Kaluga, Russia, about 180km south-west of Moscow as well as freezing sales of truck and cars.

The Russian Volvo factory employs about 700 people and since opening in 2009 has produced more than 30,000 trucks, the majority of which being FH, FM and FMX models.

“We now have a bit more clarity on sanctions and security in the region ... this means all operations in Russia end,” a Volvo spokesperson told Reuters.

In line with parent company Volkswagen, Scania has also suspended deliveries of vehicles and spare parts to Russia with the Swedish truck maker’s media relations manager Erik Bratthall saying: “Relations with clients are important for Scania but the values of Scania were more important in this regard.”

This corporate confluence to put economic pressure on Russia is not limited to truck manufacturers either with companies such as Toyota, Apple, Nike, Boeing, Ford, General Motors, HarleyDavidson also announcing curtailed business operations with Russia.

Sweden sees first commercial Hydrogen trucks

Hyzon hydrogen fuel-cell truck

Hyzon hydrogen trucks to be added to 1,500-strong fleet Hyzon Motors has announced the signing of a vehicle supply agreement between MaserFrakt, a major Swedish transport group, and Hyzon Motors Europe BV, Hyzon’s joint venture with Holthausen Clean Technology Investment BV. The collaboration marks a milestone in enabling emission-free long-haul transport in Sweden, as it is expected to bring the first hydrogenpowered heavy trucks in commercial operation to the country.

Under the contract, Hyzon will supply two HyMax-250 fuel cell electric trucks, built on a 6×4 vehicle chassis. Through 98kg of hydrogen stored onboard, the 64-tonne trucks are expected to have a range of up to 680km.

Leading the transition to sustainable commercial transport in Sweden, MaserFrakt has already established a fleet of 1,500 vehicles, half of which already operate without fossil fuels; the Hyzon vehicles are expected to be the first fuel cell electric vehicles in the fleet. Further, MaserFrakt has already announced plans to support hydrogen infrastructure development, through agreements for hydrogen supply with Svea Vind Offshore and a hydrogen filling station with NEL.

Sweden has set a target of reducing fossil carbon dioxide emissions from domestic transport (excluding aviation) by 70 per cent by 2030. The Swedish government has identified hydrogen as a key enabler of zeroemission long-haul transport.

MaserFrakt has received support and funding for its hydrogen initiatives through the Swedish Energy Agency and the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (Klimatklivet and Naturvårdsverket).

As part of MaserFrakt’s participation in TRB Sverige AB, a network for sustainable fuels and heavy transports, the company has committed to reducing emissions by 70 per cent within its own operations by 2026.

“Hyzon is proud to be a chosen supplier for customers who are pushing their operations towards the emissions targets imposed by each country in Europe,” says Max Holthausen, Hyzon Motors Europe CEO. “MaserFrakt AB will be the first company to deploy a Hyzon hydrogen heavy truck on the road in Sweden. The initial order paves the way for future collaborations to expand hydrogen mobility in Sweden.”

Gavin Sutton’s 1989 Mack Super-Liner

obsmacked! That’s how Gavin Sutton reacted when informed his 1989 Mack Super-Liner had been announced as the 2021 OwnerDriver Truck of the Year. Sutton, who runs Gavin Sutton Transport out of Tamworth in New South Wales, knew his truck was lined up against 11 other hot contenders, including five Kenworths and a couple of Peterbilts. But majority rules and the old Mack came up trumps to take out the coveted trophy.

I was quite taken aback by everyone’s vote,” he admits.

“Most of the time people lean towards Kenworth rather than Mack. But, at the end of the day, it depends on the public’s view on what looks good and what doesn’t.”

The Super-Liner’s victory came via a winning tally where readers were invited to vote on the 12 Truck of the Month entries in 2021 through OwnerDriver’s website at www.ownerdriver.com.au/toty.

Interestingly, old model Macks have become the go-to truck for rebuild enthusiasts, to the point where their

popularity has made them as scarce as hen’s teeth.

“The last few years it’s probably become more prominent I think,” Sutton says.

“Ten years ago, it probably wasn’t as unique I suppose to do up an old Mack; you could pick one up without any trouble.

“You’ve got a job to buy one now because everybody’s on the same thing.”

His story on how he acquired the ’89 Super-Liner in 2017 was featured in Deals on Wheels' June 2021 edition.

Although sales of new Macks have slackened off in recent years, Sutton believes the brand’s legendary status was born decades earlier.

“The iconic part of it I think was the truck was brought here and sort of opened up the outback. They were fairly prominent in the central Queensland, Northern Territory areas with stock," he says.

“And a few of them made it into the fast lane of line haul work,” he laughs, “which was what mine originally started as.

“It used to do overnight express for the first five years of its life, then it did five years on

explosives and then it did 10 years as a tow truck recovery vehicle.

“It was a retired tow truck when I got hold of it,” he explains.

“The fellow that had it as a tow truck bought a new truck and retired that truck off and I bought it from him and just stripped it down and restored it.”

Cruising the highway Although the classic Mack has become somewhat of a show exhibit, it’s still out on the road doing the occasional local run, including moving machinery on weekends.

“No good having it and just sitting in the shed. How many show’s can we go to at the moment? Every second show keeps getting cancelled,” he laughs.

“I just get it out and take it for a drive just to have a bit of fun.

“It turns heads wherever you go. There’s always someone with a phone filming you wherever you go,” he adds.

One of the Mack’s most recent outings has been to Moree, around three hours from Tamworth.

“I’ll run a couple of trailers up there, take a road train up, or something like that, just to do a trip,” Sutton explains.

“Or I might even just go out to Gunnedah and do a changeover with one of the other drivers so they can swap trailers and don’t have to come all the way home. It makes their day a bit easier.”

However, when it comes to Mack-branded events, the ’89 Super-Liner tends to clock up a few extra kilometres. Before Covid struck, the old bulldog had appeared at the Kyabram Mack Muster in Victoria, and the Mack Muster at Gatton in south-east Queensland.

“Usually a handful of us go down to Kyabram. They have a Mack Muster every second year and a White Muster every other year,” he says.

“We’ve still got our plane tickets on hold somewhere; I hope they’re still there because it got called off at the 11th hour a couple of years ago when Covid first started.”

Closer to home, in fact right in town, the Super-Liner, along with a couple of other Gavin Sutton Transport trucks, has had the honour of taking part in the annual

Tamworth Country Music Festival’s Cavalcade down the city’s main drag of Peel St. Around 100 or so trucks, with country music stars riding behind on fancy floats, have taken part in the parade each year, although Sutton says truck numbers have at times reached as high as 160 entries.

It’s also had the honour of having country music royalty, Troy Cassar-Daley, on board, not only leading the cavalcade but playing its part in Troy’s ambassadorial role for Tamworth Regional Council’s ‘Tune In To Recycling’ campaign.

For Sutton, the cavalcade has been long been a labour of love for Tamworth’s local trucking companies and has always delighted the festival-goers lining Peel St. “All the other transport companies here

would donate a trailer and the driver would get the truck all washed up and put his kids in and see the cavalcade from the window of the truck,” he says.

However, with Covid postponing the 2022 event from January to April, the country music festival has been downsized. Hence, the truck parade will now not run.

Covid delays Covid has also infiltrated Gavin Sutton Transport, although so far only one of the drivers has contracted the virus. Sutton, himself, was not so lucky.

“I had two or three days of being knocked out on the lounge or in bed. The rest of the week I just had to serve my time,” he says.

My son Jake will probably

inherit it “I could have gone to work but obviously you have to stay isolated. I’m OK now.”

However, Covid has affected the business in other ways, with some clients suffering staff shortages due to illness. And, of course, supply issues have had an impact on new truck purchases and imported components.

“We’re waiting on a new Volvo, it should have been delivered six months ago,” Sutton explains.

“It’s actually the first new model FH 16.

I’m led to believe it’s the first one off the assembly line.

“The trouble is, the truck it was replacing, the trade-in, it’s got another 100,000km or more on it now. I try to get rid of them at around 700,000.

“Those European trucks, not like Macks

and Kenworths, they don’t go forever.”

No surprise then that he is fan of older models, hence his high regard for the ’89 Super-Liner. And he plans to keep it in the family.

“My son Jake will probably inherit it,” Sutton says.

“The majority of the mechanical part of the rebuild it we did here and Jake had a pretty major role in that.

“He’s a mechanic. He does a tiny bit of driving, but not much.”

Now the Super-Liner’s status has been elevated at Gavin Sutton Transport due to its OwnerDriver Truck of the Year success. The trophy now takes pride of place at the company’s Tamworth depot where it will undoubtedly sit for many years to come.

The beat GOES ON

As the news surfaced that Volvo Group Australia would start importing completely built-up units from overseas, what does this mean for its Wacol manufacturing facility?

Words | Steve Brooks

2022 is shaping up to be a

record market

A

s is often the way of events with a high degree of commercial sensitivity, casual whispers from customers and dealers rather than candid comment from corporate insiders were the first hints of Volvo Group Australia’s (VGA) intention to import completely built-up (CBU) trucks from factories in Saudi Arabia and Sweden.

Volvo Group Australia president and CEO Martin Merrick confirmed that CBU trucks would be imported to supplement supply

But whatever the source of the information, the reason for such a move isn’t particularly difficult to appreciate. Covid! That one word says it all and while all brands in almost all industries have been hammered to some extent by the impacts of the pandemic, VGA has perhaps been hammered harder than most in the supply of new trucks to a booming road freight sector.

It’s no secret that Volvo’s share of the heavyduty truck market slid significantly in 2021 and, while managing to hang onto second place behind market leader Kenworth, delivery schedules have been stretched to hugely difficult levels as VGA’s Wacol (Qld) factory struggles to keep pace with demand for both Volvo and Mack product.

Indeed, the inability to deliver new trucks in agreed or acceptable timeframes has seen several traditional Volvo customers resort to other brands, notably MercedesBenz and Scania.

As we reported in September last year: “While COVID-19’s influence has been brutal on everyone, everywhere, it certainly could not have come at a worse time for a truck maker (Volvo) on the cusp of launching a major new range of FH and FM models.

Indeed, several years of planning and investment in the lead-up to the new trucks had to be quickly reassessed and reorganised as COVID took hold, causing disappointment and, worse, disruption to supply lines across the entire network.”

But, as we also asked: “The impacts of the COVID pandemic are certainly not exclusive to Volvo so why has Volvo slid while others have improved or at least maintained their market position?”

Addressing the question during a phone interview in the back half of 2021, Volvo Trucks Australia vice-president Gary Bone explained that COVID’s effects on supply

116

DOW 478-114 ND Volvo Wacol.indd 116

31/3/2022 11:33 am

New DEALS

lines have caused a major makeover in how and where components are accessed for the Wacol production plant.

Moreover, Bone was quick to add: “We’re making some really big investments in the factory [and] when we get back to full strap, we’ll build more trucks at Wacol than we ever have before.”

As for when shortened supply lines might lead to a turnaround in Volvo’s market fortunes, he said the recovery was already happening.

“We will be back, and very strongly by the second half of the year,” he declared, insisting that as the last trucks in Volvo’s superseded range were being belatedly built and delivered in the latter half of 2021, the door was finally swinging open for the much anticipated new model line-up to play its vital role in Volvo’s recovery.

It’s now apparent, however, that the turnaround hasn’t been happening nearly as fast as VGA would like. Not even close.

Important imports At no stage did Bone indicate that VGA was pursuing the importation of fully built-up trucks in a bid to shorten delivery schedules and in the process, make the most of an astonishingly buoyant truck market.

Even so, given the discussions and processes required for such a move to take place, it now seems certain that a game plan was well entrenched in the second half of last year and Bone’s involvement would have been significant.

When the first hints recently emerged that VGA was well advanced with plans to supplement Wacol’s production with fully built-up models from Volvo factories in Saudi Arabia and Sweden, the first question on some lips was whether this was an early indication of a gradual winding down of Volvo and Mack production at the Queensland factory.

After all, previous VGA managing directors have on occasion conceded that constant assessment of economic viability is an ongoing exercise with all Volvo manufacturing operations, Wacol included.

Similarly, it was to be wondered what effect the fully imported models would have on Volvo’s proudly promoted ‘Australian Made’ mantra.

However, in a written response to a number of questions seeking confirmation and clarification of the company’s plans for fully

imported trucks, VGA president and chief executive Martin Merrick was candid and concise, most notably in firmly endorsing Wacol’s critical and ongoing importance to the future of Volvo and Mack brands in Australia, and unequivocally repudiating any hint of a reduced local manufacturing effort.

First asked if VGA was indeed importing fully built-up trucks, Merrick wrote: “Yes, Volvo Group Australia is supplementing the supply of locally manufactured vehicles with CBU units from Sweden and Saudi Arabia.

“Like many global businesses, VGA experienced severe supply chain disruption during 2021. This, compounded with unprecedented demand for our trucks, has proved challenging for our Wacol plant.”

On how the move to fully-imported trucks might impact the current and future viability of the Wacol production plant, he stated: “Volvo Group is completely committed to the future of Australian manufacturing and of our Wacol factory. Significant investment has been made over the last 12 months to increase our manufacturing footprint in Australia.

“This has included the installation of new manufacturing processes, significant growth in our workforce and a massive expansion in warehousing capability to shorten supply chains and future-proof this facility.

“Roger Alm, president of Volvo Trucks globally, also recently told Australian media outlets that Volvo intends to manufacture electric trucks at the Wacol plant as part of the group’s global sustainability strategy.”

Yet, as Merrick also remarked, this is not the first time VGA has looked to overseas factories for support.

“In the past, VGA has periodically imported low volumes of CBU trucks from Sweden to supplement local manufacturing in periods of very high demand. This is not a new strategy. However, on the back of this, 2022 is shaping up to be a record market.”

As for the number of trucks likely to come from overseas factories, he simply stated: “I’m not going to commit to actual numbers for commercial reasons. However, for 2022, it will be a significant number.

“As already stated, this year will be a massive year for the Australian market.

However, the number of locally built trucks will be considerably higher than those imported.

“By the end of 2022, with the recent expansion of our manufacturing and warehousing capability, Wacol production

capability will be at an unprecedented level.

The CBU models are limited spec, FM and FH, and Wacol will prioritise vehicle builds with higher levels of customisation.”

It’s our understanding that FH 16-litre models will come from Sweden and FM 13-litre units predominantly from Saudi Arabia.

Asked if CBU imports are a permanent or temporary measure, he explained: “This has always only been a temporary supplementary strategy. Our preference will always be to prioritise local manufacturing.”

Importantly, Merrick was asked if the imported trucks will be more commercially competitive than locally produced models?

“No, the intent of this strategy is to meet

unprecedented market demand during 2022. Customers have been given the choice of local or CBU trucks depending on their requirements. This is not a pricing strategy.”

But how will this development impact VGA’s ‘Australian Made’ and ‘Proudly Made in Australia’ marketing mantras?

“Of course, this does not apply to imported trucks. Clearly these trucks will not be badged ‘Australian Made’ and all customers who have placed orders are aware that these trucks are CBU imports," he says.

“We are still incredibly proud of our factory, which celebrates 50 years in 2022, and we will always promote the capability of this plant and its people.

We’ll build

more trucks at Wacol than ever before

“In fact, I would go as far to say that in a very challenging global environment, the agility shown by Volvo Group to rise to customer demand in this way is, in itself, no mean feat.

“In the case of Saudi-built trucks, components from Australian suppliers have been shipped to that plant [as well as Tuve, Sweden] and we have Australian staff on the ground there providing assistance.”

And, finally, Merrick was asked if a similar ‘fully imported’ initiative was being considered to address the ailing local volumes of the Mack brand?

“Absolutely not. In fact, I take objection to the word ‘ailing’.

“True, the brand has also had supply challenges during 2021, a reflection of the challenges that also affected Volvo.

However, we are starting to see market share improve already as customers take delivery of their trucks in 2022.

“The high level of local customisation of an Australian Mack makes it a unique product. There are some extremely exciting developments on the horizon for the Mack brand locally, which I can’t reveal now.

“However, the Australian-built Mack is here to stay and will be a brand to watch.”

And, without doubt, there will be plenty of people watching.

t’s no good beating around the bush.

Volvo Group Australia (VGA) boss Martin Merrick and I did not hit it off.

Not at all!

The pandemic highlighted production weaknesses at VGA’s Wacol factory but Martin Merrick insists more trucks will be built at Wacol this year than ever before

To my mind, blunt questions and dismissive answers were the first problem at the first meeting during a press conference some six months or more after his September 2018 arrival as VGA’s newest president and chief executive.

A clash of professional egos perhaps, or maybe different agendas and the desire for different outcomes. Or, most likely, just a case of uncompromising corporate intransigence banging heads with irreverent media intrusion.

Whatever, it didn’t go well, and went far worse sometime later when more than 130 jobs were coldly cut from VGA and a cynical editorial took sharp aim at a Scot obligated to doing Sweden’s dirty work.

But, onward and upward, and with a handful of hindsight and hint of empathy, it’s blatantly apparent and easy to appreciate that Merrick’s arrival was also a brutal blueprint of perfectly poor timing. No one’s fault of course, but unlike his predecessor Peter Voorhoeve whose ‘human headline’ persona would revel in a stable and vibrantly buoyant business climate throughout his tenure, Merrick’s mandate would be soon marred by

122

catastrophic circumstances beyond his, or anyone else’s, control.

Let’s face it, Covid-19 hit like a brick between the eyes in the early part of 2020 and, with little more than a year under his Antipodean belt, Merrick’s plans for the progress of VGA were pummelled into pearshaped pandemonium. Really pear-shaped.

Seated across the table, he doesn’t wince or whine when asked if he carries disappointment or frustration at the circumstances that followed his appointment. In fact, his response is enviably stoic and decidedly more upbeat than expected.

“Good question,” he says with a subtle grin. “I have been disappointed but certainly not disheartened.

“The priority had to be about keeping each other safe and there have been times of frustration but it has strengthened our resolve to look after our people, our customers and our business.

“It [Covid] has allowed us to collaborate, work together and solve problems together.

When I look back, it has been challenging times but the tough times have brought us closer together.”

But then, again with a wry smile: “Of course, we all would’ve preferred not to have had these challenges and tough times.”

Sure, the pandemic has been hard on everyone, every business, but why is production at VGA’s Wacol factory struggling to the point where it is now importing Volvos from overseas?

The question was obviously expected.

“We’ve been building trucks at Wacol for 50 years with the same [production] model and, suddenly, we had weaknesses highlighted in that model, specifically the supply lines.

“For 48 years Wacol worked like a welloiled machine, then there were delays everywhere.

“To build trucks you need to sequence parts to the production line at the right time and those parts come from overseas in containers to the [Brisbane] port, and then we have 90-plus local suppliers as well. So, getting those containers here and unpacked, added with the flow of components from local suppliers, to the warehouse and then onto the line at the right time is a massive logistical event.

“Towards late 2020, we could see signs of issues with the global supply chain, so decisions had to be taken to mitigate those issues. Then we had the container crunch when we would get no containers and then 100 would arrive quickly. We build on a just-

in-time production model, and suddenly we had to wait.”

In supply terms, a perfect storm.

“What we’re doing now,” he quickly continues, “is investing in extra warehousing and a new material handling system, and adding to a $30 million investment in those things to mitigate and build a more robust supply chain system in case global disruptions happen again.

“Coupled to all that, demand for trucks is so high. That’s why we’re importing some trucks, purely to satisfy demand.”

However, it’s an adamant Merrick who emphasises that VGA has certainly not been without strong support from Volvo’s highest levels.

“The Australian market is very important to Volvo Group and I’m delighted with the support we have.

“The support has been fantastic,” he says convincingly before declaring: “We will always build trucks at Wacol … and we will build more trucks at Wacol this year than we’ve ever built before, plus we have CBU [completely built-up] trucks coming in with optimised Australian variants.”

Still, it’s a forthright Merrick who agrees that VGA’s supply dramas have certainly helped some competitors – namely Mercedes-Benz and Scania – pick up market share with customers normally loyal to the Volvo brand. Nonetheless, he admits to being confident of winning that business back.

“Truck customers have their customers to serve as well and, if we have been unable to supply, then they’ve had to go to other brands. We understand that,” he asserted.

Indeed, a somewhat conciliatory Merrick

Mack Trucks' president Martin Weissburg.

According to Martin Merrick, the commitment to Mack in Australia is unwavering

123

DOW 478-120 ND Merrick.indd 123

31/3/2022 11:34 am

The Australian market is

extremely unusual

said: “It’s good for customers to try out and judge other brands.” But an instant later: “Yes, we’ve had disruptions for one year but we also have long-term relationships with customers and I feel a lot will stay loyal to us because of our new product and our organisation’s support.

“Of course, we have work to do, but I believe our very strong relationships with customers and dealers will get the business back.”

Bulldog business On another, blatantly obvious tack, why are Mack’s sales figures so poor?

“Pure and simple, the market grew 24 per cent last year and we couldn’t build enough trucks,” he said succinctly.

“We’ve always been able to bring in CBU for Volvo to supplement supply but we can’t bring Mack in CBU,” reinforcing the point that Australian-made Macks are an absolutely unique breed of bulldog with nothing commensurate in their US counterparts.

Nonetheless, it is an entirely optimistic, even bullish, Merrick who insisted a new day is dawning for Mack.

“We’re investing over a hundred million dollars over the next three years in the Mack product,” he said, eagerly adding: “I met with Martin Weissburg [Mack Trucks president]

just two weeks ago and the commitment to Mack in Australia is unwavering.

“Mack Trucks Australia is absolutely a key market.”

With blunt emphasis, a determined Merrick asserted: “We will get back to where we want to be with Mack.”

Typically, questions about new product plans were politely deflected. There was, however, a surprising concession on the development of a new Mack generation: “I can’t share with you the timeline [though sometime in the next three years would be a reasonable guess] or exact details but it will not be a makeover. It will be a completely new product. A new platform,” he said firmly.

Asked about speculation that any completely new Mack would be based on Volvo’s US conventional truck platform, he paused for a moment.

“If you look at our products – Volvo, Mack and UD – we have common architecture and shared technology. That’s the way it is.

“But the Mack brand will remain very strong in Australia, so there’s no plan to simply bring in a Volvo platform from the US and use that as a conventional truck here.”

Time was now running short, so questions and answers became sharper and shorter.

For instance, given the early praise for

124

DOW 478-120 ND Merrick.indd 124

31/3/2022 11:34 am

New DEALS

Scania’s new 770hp (574kW) flagship, is there a future for Volvo’s 750hp (559kW) in Australia?

“Yes,” he said without a moment’s hesitation. “There are plans already in that heavy, high horsepower end, and that is very important to us overall.”

Will Volvo jump beyond 770hp to keep the power race going between the two Swedes?

“Could be,” he fired back with a shrewd grin, noting that in his 34 years with Volvo: “We’ve seen it happen over the years … which is a good thing because strong competition is good for industry, our customers and our people.”

But, given that Volvo hasn’t been able to cool the 750 in Australia’s conditions, wouldn’t it be more feasible for that sort of power to be in a Mack rather than a Volvo?

Corporate caution ruled the response: “Our intention is to always test here, as you know, and see where we can leverage that across our brands.”

At the other end of VGA’s power parade, how important has it been to keep Quon in the ranks since UD’s sale to Isuzu?

“It’s fantastic to have our three brands,” he said simply.

“The Australian market is extremely unusual and, on paper, having so many

brands from Europe, America and Japan competing for relatively small volumes can seem totally wrong, but it works here where it probably wouldn’t work anywhere else.”

But again, given Isuzu’s ownership of UD, is Quon’s availability to VGA ongoing?

“Yes! It gives us a great product range.

There’s a good relationship between Volvo Group, Isuzu and UD,” he emphasised, but perhaps happy to see the subject move to a topic less mired in corporate complexity.

Alright, how long will be before Volvo gets back to threatening Kenworth for the number one spot in the heavy-duty market?

Thoughtful for a moment, a resolute Merrick commented: “Having number one in anything is fantastic. We will continue pushing, but will we knock Kenworth off from number one spot?

“That’s yet to be seen but we will give it a good go this year.

“The total heavy-duty market is going to be the highest ever, we will build more trucks at Wacol than we’ve ever done before and, from what I see in our order intake, we will have a record year.”

Pausing for a second: “As long as nothing dramatic happens in the world.”

There’s a bold new breed of Mack somewhere over the horizon. Still, local production problems have hit Mack hard

hen any brand commands a market as effectively and thoroughly as Isuzu Australia commands the total Australian truck market, it may seem odd to suggest that the introduction of advanced safety features to its most successful model range is largely a move to catch up with the competition.

That, however, is exactly the case with Isuzu’s revamped N-series line-up.

Sure, N-series is the undisputed and increasingly historic leader of the light-duty truck market, and so successful are the Japanese maker’s lightweights, they account for substantially more Isuzu deliveries than the combined sales of its market leading medium-duty range and popular heavyduty rigid models.

Figures tell the story with blunt indifference to the hopes and ambitions of any aspiring assailant to the Isuzu crown.

In 2021, for instance, Isuzu set a new record for a truck brand by delivering 10,175 units to the Australian market, almost 4,000 units ahead of second placegetter Hino. However, the biggest contributor to Isuzu’s exceptional market strength comes from a single salient fact: well over half of all Isuzu deliveries last year – 5,593 to be exact – were from its vast N-series light-duty ranks.

So vast, in fact, Isuzu says the latest N-series range offers 61 cab-chassis derivatives and, nowadays, more than 35 versions of its remarkably successful Readyto-Work troupe.

If there’s a gap in the light-duty market, no matter how slim or seemingly insignificant, it’s a fair bet Isuzu has tailored something to fit, either direct from the Japanese factory or a localised adaptation from Isuzu Australia’s Product Development Centre within its Melbourne headquarters.

Either way, there’s little doubt this policy of offering something for everyone continues to be one of the many factors keeping the brand glued to the top of the overall Australian truck market for the past 33 years in a row. A truly astonishing achievement.

Yet, until late last year, with the Australian launch of what Isuzu calls its ‘Intelligent Safety’ system on all N-series 4x2 models, the market leader was well behind its Hino and Fuso competitors in the safety stakes simply because it didn’t offer anywhere near the same level of advanced functions as its rivals.

Nonetheless, Isuzu’s little league was never in danger of losing its absolute leadership of the light-duty sector; a fact which might cause some to wonder if advanced safety features actually have any significant bearing on sales volumes in a commercial vehicle class where buyers and users are

more likely to be tradies or retail and service industry delivery drivers than true truckies.

Whatever, Isuzu Australia national sales manager Les Spaltman concedes the ‘Does safety sell?’ question is open to a bevy of beliefs and opinions. As for the assertion that most buyers would perhaps decline to pay extra for advanced safety features if they weren’t included in the standard spec, he politely suggests it’s a hypothetical question because the fact is N-series, in addition to existing features such as driver and passenger airbags, seatbelt pre-tensioners and crash tested cabs, now has a highly advanced safety package as standard equipment.

A system so advanced, in fact, that Isuzu Australia’s press blurb describes the revamped N-series as “the safest Isuzu truck to ever hit Australian roads”. And of course, it wouldn’t be complete without its

own corporate acronym, namely ADAS, or Advanced Driver Assistance System.

Crew-cab Tradepack is just one of up to 35 versions in the successful Ready to Work range.

Helping hand Despite being the last of Japan’s three powerhouses to implement a comprehensive and technologically advanced safety package in its light-duty line-up, and whatever the reality of the ‘does safety sell?’ topic in the commercial vehicle world, Isuzu Australia has unequivocally and somewhat expediently embraced the safety mantra with the introduction of ADAS. Overdue perhaps, but better late than never according to Isuzu’s Japanese research and testing, which deems “the highest incidence of light-duty truck

accidents occur at an average speed of 38km/h, making operators in urban hightraffic areas the most likely to be involved in a serious accident with pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists”. Or in simpler terms, the work environment is where the N-series rules.

Taking the safety subject further into the corporate fold, Isuzu Australia says Japan’s findings “can be tellingly correlated” into its own recently commissioned research “where road transport businesses listed vehicle safety as a primary concern ahead of issues such as reducing costs or increasing business efficiency”.

Moreover, according to a press statement from Isuzu Australia engineering chief

130

31/3/2022 11:34 am

New DEALS

The dash-mounted Hitachi Stereo 3D camera provides the eyes for Isuzu’s advanced ADAS safety package

Simon Humphries: “Over 50 per cent of Australian operators in road transport record that overall road safety and driver safety are key issues, with this figure increasing to 70 per cent for larger fleets.

“The desire for improved safety technology is a real and current concern for our customers, and we are responding to this with product that puts driver and road safety first,” Humphries states.

“This is particularly beneficial for businesses working in what we know to be the highest risk of collision – urban and metro areas – in applications such as trades, services, freight and last-mile delivery.”

Similarly, Isuzu isn’t shy about pointing out a significant point of difference between

its ADAS package and competitor systems, specifically the dash-mounted Hitachi Stereo 3D camera, which the company describes as “the eyes behind Isuzu’s new ADAS”.

And from the outside looking in, that’s exactly what the Hitachi camera appears to be: a pair of eyes scanning the road ahead.

As Isuzu’s press statement explains: “Unlike other trucks in the market that offer a single camera attached to the windscreen [usually at the top] and a radar sensor mounted lower on the cabin face or bumper, Isuzu has mounted the duallens Hitachi camera inside the cabin in a central dashboard position that does not obstruct driver view and is not attached to the windscreen.”

31/3/2022 11:34 am

Isuzu Australia’s pragmatic sales boss Les Spaltman

Furthermore, Isuzu insists the dual-lens design and mid-level mounting atop the dash give the camera a “superior field of vision to detect lower-height objects while in motion” and subsequently provide the necessary inputs for a high-tech safety system comprising: • advanced emergency braking (AEB) and forward collision warning (FCW) • lane departure warning (LDW) • traffic movement warning (TMW) • distance warning system (DWS) • auto lighting system (ALS)

Elderly Elf Spied recently in a back corner of Isuzu Australia’s national headquarters in Melbourne was this 1973 model ‘Elf’ light-duty truck.

The story goes this forefather of the modern-day N-series was bought new from the Suttons Arncliffe dealership in Sydney and worked loyally for the original owner until traded on a new model not so long ago.

Still fitted with the factory-fitted Japanese tipping body, Isuzu Australia acquired the truck and with its 50th year of Australian operations on the horizon, plans to bring it back to original condition to highlight the inherent durability and strength which have made N-series arguably Isuzu’s greatest success story.

Defining the merits of each function, Isuzu says its AEB with FCW work by way of the dual optical sensor camera, which monitors the environment in front of the truck. It can detect and determine the distance of three-dimensional objects such as vehicles, pedestrians, bicycles and other objects that appear in front of the truck.

“If the FCW system determines a collision is likely, and depending on the circumstances and severity of the situation, the system will respond with either audible and visual alerts, or autonomous activation of the vehicle’s brakes.

“Under normal operating conditions the system is designed to avoid a collision with a speed difference up to 50km per hour and can reduce the risk of a collision impact for higher speed differentials, even at night.”

Additionally, Isuzu states: “Similar to systems found in many modern passenger cars, Isuzu’s lane departure warning works via sensors that detect and monitor the vehicle’s trajectory in relation to lane markings on roads or the road edge itself, providing audible and visual alarms for the driver if the vehicle begins to wander out of the lane marking or over the road edge.”

As for its DWS, Isuzu claims it is a feature unique to the N-series package, designed “to ensure the truck operator is travelling at a safe distance from the vehicle ahead”.

“Allowing drivers to pre-set a desired minimum distance [depending on application or environment], the DWS will alert drivers with a subtle visual warning on the dash when an unsafe distance is detected. The system has been programmed to only activate when speeds exceed 30km per hour, which is particularly useful for highway driving and prevents spurious warnings in situations such as traffic jams.”

Meanwhile, the company adds that operators stuck in heavy traffic or working in metro areas “will also appreciate the TMW system, another feature unique to Isuzu’s ADAS [which] monitors stationary vehicles ahead and will alert the driver with a clear but subtle warning sound when forward traffic movement is detected more than five metres from a truck’s stopped position”.

Finally, there’s the ALS which, when activated by the driver, automatically adjusts headlight and tail-light brightness to suit changes in ambient light conditions.

Fortunately, none of the safety systems – other than the gratefully subtle LDW beeper – were put to the test during a few hours

behind the wheel of an NPR 75-190 single cab model in company with Isuzu Australia’s likeably pragmatic sales chief Les Spaltman.

On the run While several narrow and wide-cab N-series models in single and dual-cab form, including ‘Ready to Work’ derivatives, were offered for a test drive in and around Melbourne’s western rim, the versatile NPR 75-190 was an easy choice.

First, it’s a popular model with a gross vehicle mass (GVM) rating of 7.5 tonnes powered by a 190hp (142kW) (or thereabouts) version of Isuzu’s durable 4HK1 5.2-litre four-cylinder turbocharged engine coupled to Isuzu’s six-speed automated manual transmission (AMT). Second, the truck was fitted with a curtain-sided body and was the only one of the offerings with at least a partial load, providing a guesstimated gross weight of five tonnes or thereabouts.

It’s also worth noting the body width allowed for two pallets side-by-side, which in trucks of this size means the body is wider than both the cab and rear wheel track.

On roundabouts and the like, the effect on stability can be interesting.

There is, however, more to the updated N-series than ADAS with its peering ‘eyes’ on top of the dash. As Isuzu tells it: “Additional updates include an interior revamp in seat cover material and cabin appointments, and a new exterior lamp assembly with prominent fog lamps, giving the new range a distinctly different forward appearance.

“Behind the dashboard also comes a new CAN converter circuit and connector, making it a simple exercise to fit a fleet management or telematics system.”

Also, all models in the latest line-up have towing capacities increased by at least 500kg, allowing a 4,500kg tow rating on NPR, NQR and NPS models with the 4HK1 engine, and 4,000kg on all other models.

On some models, a ‘customisable speed limiter’ – with maximum speed set by an Isuzu dealership – is another part of the repackaged N-series range, along with what Isuzu describes as a “long-awaited suspension seat in selected narrow cab models”.

Down the track, Isuzu says it is well ahead with plans to expand the N-series line-up even further, including a new three-way tipper for the Ready-to-Work range.

Understandably, confidence is running high that with an advanced safety package

finally in its armoury, N-series is primed to etch its light-duty dominance even deeper into the market.

However, as Spaltman remarked, perhaps Isuzu’s greatest confidence is seen in the warranty applying to all N-series 4x2 models, covered by a six-year/250,000km factory warranty, six years of roadside assistance, and a comprehensive threeyear warranty on pre-built bodies.

“I genuinely believe one of our greatest assets is the way we look after customers,” Spaltman asserted, quickly adding: “Our biggest mistake would be to take something for granted, especially our customers.”

Meantime, the NPR test truck went about its work with no fuss. In a jaunt of just 150km, it coped easily with short stints among intermittent traffic flows, suburban streets, country backroads and fast freeways. At the end of the day, with just 1,000km on the clock and driven with little regard for fuel consumption, the truck returned a respectable figure of 5.7km/litre, or 16.1mpg for us more mature folk.

Performance of the utilitarian 4HK1 engine was certainly acceptable under the various conditions but its combination with Isuzu’s six-speed AMT shifter was the standout feature. Engine and transmission are ideally matched and while shifts through the automated box are not as crisp and responsive as a fully automatic transmission, evolution has certainly made it smoother and sharper than earlier versions.

Finally, and despite all the obvious positives, including the easy control functions for the various operational and safety features, there’s one safety aspect that seems to consistently escape the attention of some truck makers, Isuzu included. Mirrors!

It’s not that the mirrors on Isuzu’s N-series don’t provide an entirely appropriate and expansive view to the side and rear of the vehicle. It’s just that in the quest to provide that view, designers have developed mirror housings so large that in certain conditions – most notably, roundabouts – the driver’s right side line of sight is impeded by the size and position of the mirrors.

Again, Isuzu isn’t alone in this trait but it’s worth emphasising that while advanced technology plays a vital role in minimising accidents and injury, ultimate safety requires a broad view, literally and physically.

Evolution has improved the response and effectiveness of Isuzu’s automated manual transmission

THE GAP

With ongoing success in the medium and light-duty markets, the lack of a heavy-duty offering in Isuzu’s product lineup is an ongoing source of frustration. We speak with Isuzu Australia operations chief Andrew Harbison about what could be achieved in this market Words | Steve Brooks

Isuzu Australia’s Andrew Harbison. Still looking and waiting for a heavy-duty contender

137

A

s director and chief operating officer of Isuzu Australia, Andrew Harbison has plenty to be pleased about. Heaps, in fact. Record sales in 2021 are joined by the very real likelihood of an even bigger result this year as the Australian market continues a raging torrent of demand for new trucks.

And, all the while, Isuzu’s domination as Australia’s most prolific supplier of trucks grows ever more entrenched.

There is, however, a highly visible void in the Isuzu stable and it nags at the humble

yet sharply competitive Harbison like a lingering lurgy. The void, obviously enough, is the absence of a true prime mover model, made even more evident by the recent withdrawal of the lacklustre Giga and, more significantly, the debut of impressive new heavies from ambitious countrymen Fuso and Hino.

For the most part, Harbison suppresses the underlying frustration, maintaining a measure of carefully cultivated corporate composure. Every now and then, though, blunt conversation about Isuzu Australia’s

heavy-duty hopes causes disappointment to seep to the surface and, occasionally, very occasionally, flares to riled frustration at the ongoing inability to take the fight to Isuzu’s Japanese foe, and anyone else for that matter.

Our meeting was largely a ‘spur of the moment’ thing and over a quiet beer away from the office, Harbison’s fierce competitive streak swamped the otherwise calm and carefully considered company man.

Patience, it seems, is wearing thin.

First things first though, he conceded the

recently retired Giga was not the right truck for a broad assault on the Australian heavyduty market.

Heavy and lacking the performance and fuel economy of rivals, he confirmed: “The best year we ever had with Giga was around 200 units, which isn’t many, and, on average, we sold about 150 units a year.

“You couldn’t break it, but it was an old truck.”

So, with Giga’s departure from the model range and no replacement anywhere in the foreseeable future, could this be the end of Isuzu Australia’s heavy-duty ambitions?

Isuzu now owns UD but Quon remains part of Volvo Group Australia’s stable

139

31/3/2022 11:35 am

The response was immediate. “No, not at all. Absolutely not,” he fired back.

“Yes, we’re very much in the hands of our parent company in terms of what product we’re able to get but I am as fiercely driven as ever to achieve what’s possible.

“I’d really like to have a decent heavy-duty product where we can have a real crack at that market. Give it a real shake.”

But if that was the question to stir the competitive embers, the next one threw fuel on the fire: are you envious of Fuso with its 510hp (380kW) Shogun and Hino’s new 700-series heavy-duty models?

“Absolutely. It pisses me off.” It was,

by any measure, an uncharacteristic outburst which, more than anything else, demonstrated the depth of dismay at Isuzu’s ongoing inability to produce a suitable heavy-duty contender for its supremely successful Australian operation.

Pausing for a moment, a primed Harbison continued: “We are the market leader with a significant lead in both light- and medium-duty product. We have a sophisticated, established and highly professional dealer group to support and maintain that leadership.

“So, yes, with those assets it’s a real

140

shame we don’t have a competitive offering in that [heavy-duty] market against those competitors.”

Quiet for a few seconds, he continued: “I could give you any number of reasons why Isuzu is so strong in the overall market but that doesn’t change the fact that when a direct competitor has a product we can’t offer, of course I’m upset that we don’t have anything to compete in that [heavy-duty] market. It’s a market we could do very well in.”

Well, if Fuso and Hino can come up with strong heavy-duty models, why doesn’t your parent company supply a product

that will allow you to compete, specifically in the prime mover class?

This time, Harbison appeared to choose his words carefully.

“The world of Isuzu Motors is going through an enormous amount of change,” he explained.

“We have a president [Masanori Katayama] who has been in the chair for a number of years and it has taken some time for his skill and knowledge, and wisdom, to start to shine through.

“Isuzu is a big ship and I think he is starting to turn it around, embracing new opportunities.”

On show in Japan, Isuzu’s new Giga is an impressive improvement over its predecessor but lacks a suitable powertrain for the Australian market

141

DOW 478-136 ND Harbison.indd 141

31/3/2022 11:35 am

You couldn’t break it, but it was an

Soon after, a thoughtful Harbison declared: “The Volvo and UD tie-up is clearly something that will hopefully offer us something in the future.”

Does that mean you wish you had UD’s Quon in your stable now, particularly given its recent success for Volvo Group Australia (VGA)?

There was an undeniable hint of caution in his response and, at first, an apparent desire to change tack.

“Isuzu has a very good product in the new Giga in Japan,” he enthused, “but a big part of Isuzu Australia’s success is that we won’t take a product that won’t meet market

expectations [and] the Giga in its current form in Japan does not have the powertrain suitable for our market.”

Yet, given the much-publicised relationship between Isuzu and engine giant Cummins, it seemed reasonable to ask if there was still the touted possibility of a 12-litre Cummins X12 engine being engineered into the new Giga for our market particularly.

“The honest answer is, I don’t know,” he said, before adding: “There’s certainly an opportunity but I think the answer to that question is somewhere in the Isuzu and UD tie-up.”

Again though: does Isuzu Australia wish

142

DOW 478-136 ND Harbison.indd 142

31/3/2022 11:35 am

New DEALS

Isuzu’s original Giga failed to fire in the Australian market

it had Quon in its stable? After all, Isuzu now owns UD, not Volvo?

“Now you’re being provocative,” he replied with a wry grin before commenting: “Isuzu obviously has a picture where the future product is going to come from and UD is certainly part of all that, and I think the future technology for the next generation of [heavy-duty] product will be a combination of Isuzu and UD. “However, the decision on who will distribute that product in Australia [Isuzu or VGA] is made above my pay grade.”

Nonetheless, it was a decisive Harbison who insisted: “I’ve certainly voiced my

opinion and I believe Japan has listened, and there’s no doubt in my mind Isuzu Australia could do a very, very good job of distributing a UD heavy-duty product.”

Following Volvo’s sale of UD to Isuzu, is he disappointed that Quon stayed at VGA rather than transferring to Isuzu Australia?

“Like I said, those decisions are made above my pay grade but I know the Japanese play a very long-term game and, sure, I’d like to see UD come home to Isuzu [Australia] at some stage in the future. Sooner rather than later.

“Unfortunately, I can’t give you a timeframe. It could be tomorrow or it could be a couple of years. The Japanese will decide the timing but I genuinely believe that ultimately, the Australian market will have an Isuzu/UD heavy-duty product.”

Asked what level of success could be achieved with the right heavy-duty product supported by Isuzu Australia’s extensive marketing and dealer strength, an adamant Harbison asserted: “We could deliver another 1,000 trucks a year, and I don’t say that with any arrogance.

“It is what I genuinely believe we are capable of doing, particularly looking at the success we’ve already achieved in the light end of heavy-duty with our 6x4 and eightwheeler models.

“We have a very good relationship now with many fleets and whilst I’m not naïve enough to target linehaul-type applications, there’s no reason we couldn’t generate some very significant results in other areas.”

Gathering his thoughts for a few moments, a convincing Harbison concluded: “Our target is to be number one in every market.

“That hasn’t changed and with the right product, we’ll make it happen.

“Absolutely!”

In a bid to acknowledge Australia’s heritage, and a nod to his late World War II serving grandfather, Luke Ashton went all out with green and gold and a tribute to the Anzacs. However, it’s the ‘Star’ of the show – the big Western Star 4900 B-triple – that’s attracting most attention from east to west

reen and yellow, lemon and lime, emerald and gold – no matter which way you say it they are colours synonymous with Australia. Those two colours are intrinsically linked to Australia and Australian patriotism. That patriotism is an honourable trait and in the transport industry it can be seen on many trucks. From the Australian and Indigenous flags to kangaroos or crocodiles. There is all manner of artwork representing a deep-rooted love of Australia on display.

Then you have the likes of Luke Ashton, a fully-fledged card-carrying proud Aussie that took the green and gold and splashed it all over his logos, his offices and, most importantly, his expanding Ozwide Freight fleet. Not only has the green and gold been an integral part of the company’s aesthetics, but it’s also been a part of its approach to business.

That Aussie have-a-go, get-it-done attitude has seen the family owned and operated company grow from a 12-tonne body truck

to a full fleet of over 30 trucks in less than 20 years.

In the latest show of Aussie pride and passion, Ozwide has put an outstanding B-triple unit on the road that pays homage to both Ashton’s familial past and this country’s history with a brilliant Anzac tribute trailer set.

Exactly how did an apprentice plasterer, who’s childhood trucking passion had been ignited by garbage trucks, end up where he is today? Well, the plastering didn’t last long.

“Yeah, it was a trade I never wanted to keep pursuing,” Ashton admits. Instead, the qualified plasterer took on a job as a paperboy. No, not the pushbike with spokey dokeys kind of paperboy; it was the bulk delivery kind.

Working for Coast & Regional Transport on the Gold Coast, Ashton began his trucking career in a little puddle jumper doing very early mornings, delivering newspapers to distributors.

The newspaper deliveries soon progressed to general freight, still with Coast & Regional

146

Transport, and saw Ashton increase not just his hours, but his licences as well. From MR to HC, he soon ended up behind the wheel of an old Ford L9000.

With a single trailer in tow, Ashton was running from the Gold Coast up into Brisbane and back, and then down as far as Lismore in northern NSW. Although he was enjoying the driving and the work, he decided to take an unplanned three-month break, courtesy of a sliced-open hand and surgery to repair a tendon. Anyway, a threemonth hiatus was required; that’s what the doctors recommended.

Obviously coming back earlier than that could result in someone snapping the tendon again. Clearly, no one would do that, right? Ashton soon got bored sitting around, went back to work early and did exactly what the doctors warned him against.

There’s no such thing as light duties in general freight. This move, however, created an opportunity for Ashton. Instead of

hanging out at home mastering origami or perfecting his yoga poses, he ended up in the office of Coast & Regional Transport, learning all about running a transport company while annoying the office workers.

This move turned out to be a natural fit for him.

“I didn’t mind it,” he recalls.

“Because I couldn’t physically get out and help the boys, I knew this would the next best thing.” He was right.

However, even after he healed up, Ashton stayed mainly on the office side of the business.

“I did go back into a truck for about a month but then they dragged me back into the office,” he says. This would be the new normal. He had a grasp on how it all worked and was in his element. The role eventually saw him moving to Coffs Harbour, where he set up a new depot for the company.

meter maids brought Ashton back to Queensland. He tried his managerial hand at a flooring company before taking on an operations role with Region Peak. It was this role that would lead him to eventually branch out on his own. Well to be more precise, it was one of the contractors that he dealt with in his role that kept questioning him: “Why don’t you have a go with your own truck, mate?”

It may have been the long hours he was doing or the news from his wife, Rebecca, that they were about to have their first child, or maybe just Ashton’s green and gold giveit-a-go attitude, but eventually he started asking himself the same question – why don’t I have a go with my own truck?

In 2005, after a long discussion with Rebecca, they both decided to give it a go.

They purchased a second hand FL7 Volvo and Ozwide Freight began. Point of note, this wasn’t Ashton’s first business. Several years earlier he had formed Ozwide Freight Consultants, a freight brokering business that Rebecca was running when Ashton was

still fulltime on the road. Hence the Ozwide name was carried over from that company to be the basis of the new transport company.

Appearance counts Right from the get-go Ashton was focused on not just service but also on road appearance.

The second-hand truck he bought had a full repaint before hitting the road, breaking out the yellow and green stripes he’d perfected for each additional truck. Not just the truck, though, all new colourful curtains were also fitted to the old delivery truck.

With the brightly painted truck and a stack of business cards, he set about building relationships and finding work to keep his truck busy. From his home on the Gold Coast he established a regular run between the coast and Brisbane. It wasn’t easy but there was never a thought of whether or not it would be successful. For Ashton, it was just a matter of digging in and working towards it.

“It did get to a point where I was thinking ‘this is going to take longer than I thought’,” Ashton admits.

The big 4900 isn’t restricted to just running west. This time I caught it with the custom Western Star trailers loading produce out of North Queensland

“But I had help from the likes Rob Grant at RT Logistics, who would give me some overflow.”

Other customers and contractors that Ashton had formed relationships with were all willing to help out with work to keep the wheels turning.

The next few years were the hard graft for Ashton, building a reliable service as well as strengthening relationships with his clients.

That grafting paid off. Ashton ran the FL7 himself for couple of years before the decision was made to get a second truck. That was a little five-tonner, bought for a particular customer’s needs.

Wisely, Ashton soon added another 12-tonne body truck, this time a UD. As the work soon filled that truck, then another was needed.

Within two years he doubled the fleet from three to six trucks.

Lessons learnt The company growth has always been a well-managed plan.

“Even after I had one, two or three trucks there was that many times people would promise you work and you’d go get the next

truck, then nothing comes off,” Ashton says.

“I got to that point where, if I was going to buy another truck, it was up to me to make it work.”

This lesson meant, every time he put another truck on, he would shift into the new truck, putting one of his boys into an already settled and scheduled truck while he would go and build the work for the new truck.

By the time the fleet hit six body trucks Rebecca had forgone her role at another transport company and was wearing the Ozwide shirt fulltime. Along with Rebecca coming on board the company went through the biggest change to date – it moved into its first yard.

“That was probably the catalyst for growth,” Ashton explains.

“Up until that point the boys were all taking their trucks home. Once we got that yard things took off.”

He had leased 120 square metres of a large warehouse in Brisbane’s industrial area of Rocklea. By the end of the first week he saw the signs ahead and had to lease the rest

152

of the warehouse as well, giving him 1,000 square metres of warehousing and storage.

That warehousing area was not just for Ozwide customers, though.

All of a sudden, Ozwide had been approached by several companies to act as delivery agents for Brisbane. Some mornings the boys would arrive to find four or five interstaters parked in the driveway.

Ozwide’s reputation was growing as fast as its warehousing capabilities.

A year after the depot opened Ozwide Freight purchased its first brand new truck – a 2009 eight-wheeler Iveco and pig trailer. It was a big deal for Ashton and was bought to cover a regular run to Toowoomba for one of Ozwide’s major customers. That first new truck is still earning its keep in the green and gold, 13 years later.

Over the next four years a couple more body trucks were added. The customer base grew, therefore Ashton knew he had to as well.

In 2013, he purchased a second-hand Freighter trailer and went looking for a prime mover to haul it. That was his first Western Star, a brand new 5800. The truck was bought to run as far as Toowoomba, pulling just the single as he was adamant he was just a local company.

“I didn’t want to do interstate, nope, never,” he states.

Three weeks after the Western Star did its first run to Toowoomba it was on a regular run to Melbourne. Not long after that the single trailer was reregistered and an A-trailer thrown in front and Ozwide had its first interstate B-double.

By 2018, the company had three Western Stars doing interstate, a vast fleet of local trucks, a new yard and was getting beyond the small to medium business that Ashton and Rebecca could manage on their own.

It was decided that Ashton would hire a manager to run the expanding company.

“It was a big thing for us to hire someone to

Western Star's versatile 5800s are also popular in the Ozwide colours

One of the rare cabovers in the Ozwide fleet is this K200, here getting its trailers washed before heading off

do potentially what I should be doing myself,” he says. But he knew his own limitations. He was spending all day loading and unloading trucks, while trying to organise runs as well as finding time for his family.

It made sense, so Ozwide brought on board the experienced Mick Miller to run the show and help better utilise the growing fleet. At that stage the interstate work was suffering the effects of undercutting and cut-throat competitors and Ashton was looking to better utilise his fleet.

“Getting Mick on board has been one of my best investments I’ve ever made,” he says.

Miller’s contacts in Western Australia, combined with Ashton’s contacts in North Queensland, saw the company pull out of the NSW and Victoria interstate work and concentrate on the legs that it was strongest in, growing the company for the future.

From the three interstate trucks, the company is now sending eight to 10 trailers a week to Western Australia and a dozen B-doubles and a couple of road

trains into North Queensland. It has regular runs to Rockhampton, Mackay, Townsville and Cairns.

With the workload increasing so has the Ozwide fleet. Like everything with Ashton, it’s all about the relationships. In 2016, he purchased his first Vawdry B-double unit and the relationship he started with the company, paired with the quality of its work, has seen the Vawdry name as the predominant trailer brand in the Ozwide yard. A similar relationship exists with the principal manufacturer in front of those trailers – the mighty Western Star.

There is a couple of cab-overs in the fleet, however Ashton has always had a preference for a bonneted truck.

“I think the drivers prefer them,” he says.

“They ride better and feel safer.”

There are also a couple of other manufacturers represented, but the Portland, Oregon-built Star has always been Ashton’s preference. That comes back to relationships and service – two things Penske Australia has supplied.

154

DOW 478-144 ND Ozwide.indd 154

31/3/2022 11:35 am

New DEALS

Ashton’s first Western Star was bought through Joey Cahill from Brisbane Truck Centre back in 2013.

“My relationship with him put me onto the first Western Star and it went on from there,” he says.

“I bought one off Steve Rennie in 2015, a Brisbane Truck Show truck, then I got introduced to Kurt Dein and our relationship grew from there.”

A strong fleet of Ozwide Western Stars shows how much faith Ashton has in his salesman and the product.

“I think the suppliers get the shits with Kurt ’cause he’s so on top of everything. He’s one salesman I never have to call to find out where things are at.”

Right from the original FL7, he has appreciated the importance of on-road appearance. As each new truck arrives, he ensures they look the part when they hit the road. Not just with incorporating the Australian colours into the signwriting

but with added stainless, Mardi-Gras level lights and a few extra shiny bits. Like his strong relationship with Kurt Dein at Penske Australia, Ashton has built a solid relationship with Brock Macdonald and the team from Rocklea Truck Electrical, who are responsible for all those lights and stainless.

All the linehaul trucks get fitted with RTE’s custom air system as well; a necessity when you are servicing North Queensland specialists.

Across ‘the paddock’ With all that history up to date, let’s get on to the big bonnet at the centre of all these photos – Ozwide Freight’s first 4900 Western Star. In 2019, with the rise in WA freight, Ashton wanted a truck he could hook a B-triple behind and send across ‘the paddock’. Up until then Ozwide’s Western Star fleet was comprised of mainly 4800s and 5800s. A 4900 would be a big step up.

As well as being the fleet’s biggest, Ashton

This Freightliner, labelled ‘Don’t Ask’, is one of the newest trucks in the fleet, doing plenty of work for the linehaul rigs. As with the other Ozwide trucks, it sports personalised plates

155

Even the team’s local trucks look the part.

This is one of Ozwide’s Townsville-based delivery trucks preparing for another road run

wanted something to commemorate the Australian diggers. He had not long lost his grandfather, a veteran of World War Two’s Pacific campaign, so acknowledging the history and sacrifices of those in the service was extremely important to Ashton and his family.

He chose to have a dedication added to the new 4900 and then focus on using the new Vawdrey trailers as the conduit for his memorial. Designing a mural of this magnitude is a huge ask. Trying to capture so much and fit it onto the side of a truck can be challenging.

“I’ve got two brothers I grew up with, they’re part of OJO Design, they came up with it,” Ashton says.

“Mark Pearce and Cameron Pearce – I put it to them and they did it all.”

Knowing the truck would predominantly tow a B-triple, the design needed to be flexible enough to look good when an A trailer was removed.

Once the design was agreed to, all the information was sent off to Attards in

Melbourne, which prints all of Ozwide’s colourful curtains. To me it seems like quite a task, yet, to the team at Attards it’s second nature.

The big 4900 was getting prepared and prepped up at Penske Australia’s Brisbane workshop while the team at Vawdrey were working closely with Attards to put together the trailer combination.

As much as Ashton had wanted to keep it all under wraps it’s hard to keep something this visual quiet. So a few sneak peeks escaped.

The reaction to Ozwide’s tribute trailers has been extremely positive and extremely vocal. Photos of the unit flooded social media quicker than a Covid conspiracy theory.

“I think it’s a great tribute to our past,” Ashton says.

“It’s one of those set-ups that gives you goosebumps when it drives down the road.”

He often gets the feedback from drivers when the trucks pull up in a small town

156

DOW 478-144 ND Ozwide.indd 156

31/3/2022 11:36 am

New DEALS

and the local RSL empties out to grab some shots. These reactions, as well as the fact that people are talking about the Anzacs, are exactly what he wanted.

Ashton admits this won’t be his last tribute trailer set either. The pride and passion he has for Australia has seen him

grow from a single truck donning the Aussie green and gold to a fleet of stunning rigs that cover the country.

It’s a far cry from the man who was adamant he didn’t want to do linehaul.

I’m glad he got that wrong. Well done, Ozwide Freight.

It’s difficult to capture the entire Ozwide team in the one spot, but here’s a just a few from the office, workshop and warehouse

I just wanted

another experience

W Wombat Heavy Towing’s Donna Norton and Andrew Johnson with their revamped Kenworth T409

hen the opportunity arose to meet a young passion-driven family having a crack, I wanted to find out more.

What makes this story even more exceptional is that the single truck at the centre of this family’s endeavour is a tow truck. Andrew Johnson and Donna Norton are living in the ‘City of Tow Trucks’, naming their operation Wombats Heavy Towing.

It’s still a business in its infancy but, after a couple of years, it’s really starting to forage.

Sorry, I meant flourish – thought I’d try a little wombat-based humour.

A couple of things I need to clarify – yes, all those Lonely Planet tour guides and online travel pages refer to Adelaide as the ‘City of Churches’, but I disagree. When I was there recently, I honestly saw more tow trucks than churches. Red ones, orange ones, purple ones … it was like a tow truck version of a Benetton ad. It’s definitely the ‘City of Tow Trucks’.

Among all the tow trucks I spotted was a sharp Kenworth T409 SAR with a wombat on the side. My interest was piqued and in a completely non-stalkerish way I followed the wombat to get some more information. I’m so glad I did because it led me to the lovely Donna Norton and her partner, the extremely experienced (I’ll elaborate soon) Andrew ‘Wombat’ Johnson.

Growth opportunity As already mentioned, Johnson and Norton are the owners and operators of Wombats Heavy Towing. The company is a singletruck outfit with the aforementioned 2012 T409 SAR, an ex-Patrick car carrier, that was refurbished and turned into a tow truck.

The company is the culmination of Johnson’s career in the tow truck business, starting as a metal fabricator before spending time in several increasingly larger tow trucks.

His experience included time behind the wheel of one of Australia’s biggest tow trucks up in the North Queensland city of Mackay.

However, his transport lineage isn’t your standard ‘follow in my father’s footsteps’ kind of story. The family ties to transport were more manufacturing than behind the wheel.

His father owned Superior Sleeper Cabs back in the day.

Johnson entered the transport industry via Truckworks in Adelaide, the company synonymous with building big eye-catching tow trucks. That was back in 2005 and, from within Truckworks’ workshop, he learnt a lot about building and repairing all manner of vehicles, especially tow trucks. He also learnt that he really didn’t enjoy being in the workshop.

With Truckworks’ support, Johnson gained

160

DOW 478-158 DP Wombats towing.indd 160

31/3/2022 11:36 am

DEALS Profile

his heavy vehicle licence and would often go and assist on different jobs. Eventually he downed tools completely and picked up the keys as a fulltime tow operator.

“My first one I drove by myself was a Kenworth T350,” he recalls.

“It was just doing single or truck and trailer work. It was a 25,000lb wrecker.”

Truckworks really only dealt with the heavy towing side of things, hence, once he was licensed, he had to go straight into the big stuff. Years of building, repairing and assisting meant he had the common sense and acumen to handle that responsibility.

From the T350 he soon progressed to the bigger 4900 Western Star and, subsequently, the bigger tows. The next move up involved a change of truck, a change of location and a massive change in climate from Adelaide to Mackay.

Johnson left the Western Star behind and jumped into one of Australia’s biggest tow

trucks, a Mackay Heavy Towing twin steer, tri-drive Kenworth T408.

“Every time I’ve left somewhere it’s to gain more experience,” Johnson explains. His story so far makes it clear he’s a man yearning to learn more and advance his skills.

That drive for experience saw him facing the challenges of recovering some much larger vehicles in some much stickier situations. I don’t mean that metaphorically – the humidity in Mackay meant he was literally in much stickier situations.

Eventually, Johnson returned to his beloved South Australia where he opted for a complete change of pace.

“I just wanted another experience, I hadn’t done road trains and just wanted to go do road trains,” he says. That experience was courtesy of Wayne Betts and saw Johnson count up a fair few kilometres as he steered a Mack Super-Liner all around South

It was this awesome Wombat that caught my eye and led to me stalking the company

31/3/2022 11:36 am

Plenty of places to hide all the tools and equipment needed to get the job done

Australia doing remote work involving pipes, hay and general station equipment.

From there, he spent some time working for Farley Riggs in the oil and gas industry. His road train experience came in handy moving all of its gear around and he gained valuable experience on roads rough enough to make the Bruce Highway look almost comfortable.

“The bush tracks teach you a lot about driving and how to look after the truck,” he says.

It also meant experience in handling all manner of equipment.

“I feel like I could jump on anything now and be able to move it,” he says, though he’s quick to add: “I definitely wouldn’t be the best operator, but I could get it done.”

Time for a change Johnson had experienced a lot at this stage of his career. He’d worked for a couple of different bosses but, all the while, the desire to be his own boss had been fermenting away in his mind.

“The idea of not slaving away for someone else, wearing myself out for me rather than someone else,” was what he says was the appeal of undertaking such a huge commitment. The idea had always been in the back of his mind and, right in the middle of the unseen pandemic that is Covid, he had an opportunity thrown his way.

A phone call from Lyndon at Truckworks Adelaide led to a mighty big discussion between Johnson and his partner Norton.

Numbers were crunched, cents counted, and the decision was made by the couple to back themselves and have a go.

Lyndon had called with an ex-Patrick’s truck – just a cab, a chassis and plenty of opportunity. The good thing was that the

years of experience working at Truckworks meant Johnson was able to get in and build it himself, taking six months to construct his own custom tow truck.

“There’s heaps of custom stuff on there,” he enthuses.

“Like the dash panels, I pulled all of them out, painted all those. The guards in behind the front wheels are custom made.” That’s just a couple of the custom touches.

One of the first jobs, and one he chose to leave in the capable hands of the Truckworks team, was stretching the chassis. An extra 1.8 metres were added to accommodate the big Century KB55 towing body, which came out of the US. “The best way to explain it is, in America, they have rotators, right? Well, this is the underlift off a rotator spec truck.”

When it went on the Wombats’ Kenworth it was the first KB55 in Australia, giving it an exceptionally long reach.

The factory-fitted Cummins ISX had been rebuilt not long before the couple got their hands on it. However, the rear end wasn’t quite as well presented. To start with, Johnson had all new brakes and bearings fitted. After draining the front diff and being left with over a litre of fluid that can only be described as ‘tar, if tar was having a very off day’, it was decided to redo the diffs as well. All the shackle pins were gone in the front end, so the front looks pretty much new now. Then a couple of new wiring looms were fitted, as the little T409 SAR would spit out electrical gremlins like we wish a pokie machine would. After that it was basically a brand-new decade-old truck.

The final issue was the cosmetic approach to the truck. Having worked for companies with paint schemes bright enough for the international space station astronauts to spot,

164

It’s not just the exterior of the old car carrier that’s been overhauled.

Andrew and Donna gave the interior a complete makeover as well

31/3/2022 11:36 am

Johnson designed and built these stunning guards to fill in what is often a large gaping hole behind the steer axle

Johnson went the other way, keeping it simple and clean.

“I just wanted something stylish and subtle,” he admits.

“I’d rather drop 30 grand into equipment at the moment than on a paint job.”

That doesn’t mean it can’t look good.

Custom-made step boxes by Johnson’s brother Simon at Simon Built in South Australia add a touch of uniqueness. Different tanks on either side would never fly with ‘Mr Symmetrical’ (Johnson’s admission), so he customised the tanks and then had them wrapped so both sides to look identical. By the end of the six months, not only did the truck look nothing like an old bogie drive car carrier, it performed nothing like an old bogie driver car carrier either.

All this building and speccing of the big T409 SAR was done with immense forethought by both Johnson and Norton, though – they weren’t taking this ownerdriver thing lightly.

“I had in mind what I wanted to do; I wanted to focus on towing rather than recovery,” Johnson says.

“If you do recovery, you really need a holding yard, which I don’t have. If you go and clean up a B-double or something you need crews to do the clean-up, then you’re forking out thousands to crews.”

It showed the couple had really planned this thing through.

That leaves Wombats Heavy Towing concentrating and thriving in the moving of vehicles and towing of breakdowns. That also leaves Wombats Heavy Towing with a phone that never gets turned off. That’s what makes this company such a family ownerdriver business.

Johnson might be the one rolling out of

bed with keys in hand, but Norton is already downstairs with the jug on and the job information ready to go.

“You got to have teamwork,” she says.

“If you didn’t have teamwork it would be a tough road.”

The company is still only in its early stages, however. When you kick off in the middle of a global pandemic you really are making life difficult. Even Johnson admits that.

“There’s the easy road and the hard road, I think I took the most difficult road,” he explains.

Nonetheless, they are following their dream with passion and they are making it work. It’s a tough life as an owner-driver these days, so I tip my hat to them both and to Wombats Heavy Towing.

Origin story But wait! Did you really think I would sign off without enquiring about the ‘wombat’ in Wombats Heavy Towing? Hell no! Before I explain, I want you to browse through the photos and concentrate on the photo of Johnson. Then mentally put yourself in the shoes of someone helping to install a big electrical sign out the front of Truckworks in Adelaide. You find that the cord for the welder won’t reach around the garden, so you ask: “Andrew, could you bring the cord through the garden, mate?” Like a good employee he gets down on his hands and knees and crawls through the garden. At the same time the boss’s brother-in-law comes out, hears some rummaging, glances into the garden and screams: “God damn, I thought that was a wombat!” True story. From that day on, Johnson became wombat and eventually Johnson and Norton became Wombats Heavy Towing. Well done, guys.

Plant & Equipment Vadals says the new equipment has led to significant cost savings

Vadals Ikon Group gets help from Crown’s forklifts The food industry supplier says Crown’s equipment and systems have increased its productivity in the past year Family-owned food industry supplier Vadals Ikon Group has significantly increased its efficiency with the support of Crown’s forklifts, as well as its InfoLink operator and fleet management system.

Vadals Ikon Group recently moved to a new purpose-built facility in Richlands that has both warehouse space and a showroom.

When the new warehouse south of Brisbane was established, Vadals

took on Crown’s InfoLink system, which offers an increased insight into fleet performance to help maximise the efficiency of each piece of material handling equipment.

“Through using InfoLink, we can now analyse how long a machine is used for each day, week or month to make sure we’re getting the right productivity out of that machine, and whether we need to keep the machine or change it for something

that would be better used inside the warehouse,” Vadals operations manager Stephen Ireland says.

Having moved into the warehouse a year ago using all-new Crown equipment, Ireland says Vadals has “picked up 33 per cent in productivity through the Crown equipment and the set-up of the warehouse”.

“The racking and our dock levellers are supplied by Crown, even our sweeper that we use to sweep the floor was provided by Crown. We’ve found the machines to be reliable and excellent,” Ireland says.

Vadals also chose to utilise Crown’s DT Series double pallet stackers, which has provided an additional productivity boost.

“We thought we’d only want singles but with the information Crown gave us about them, we went with the doubles and found that because you can pick two pallets at one time, it’s almost like doing double the work,” Ireland says.

Toyota forklifts fuelling Simon National Carriers The Australian trucking company puts trust in Toyota forklifts Australian privately-owned transport company Simon National Carriers has invested in Toyota Material Handling Australia (TMHA) machinery to help keep its warehouses running at peak operational capacity.

Simon National Carriers recently purchased a fleet of 40 Toyota forklifts to be deployed among Simon’s depots across Australia.

The purchase included a split between 7700 electric reach trucks and 328FG25 gas counterbalance forklifts that will speed up the efficiency of Simon National Carrier’s day-to-day operations.

“Toyota was definitely one that I liked from a point of view of what they offered in their reach trucks,” Simon assistant fleet manager Scott Horwood says of the process of choosing which brand to buy.

“Toyota offers what is called a sit-standlean product where they can sit down or fold the seat up and stand up. For me that was a big bonus in the way it would suit our fleet – if we needed to move a forklift from depot to depot, we didn’t have to worry about where it is a sit-down or stand-up forklift.

“Some operators don’t like to sit down

all day; it can be fatiguing on their body.

Standing up all day can be the same, so it gives the operators flexibility on how they go about their day-to-day business.”

The reliability and zero operating emissions of the reach truck’s electric powertrain was another factor that fuelled Simon’s choice to purchase from TMHA. “From bumper to bumper, all the

Simon National Carriers assistant fleet manager Scott Horwood

parts are Toyota. That is an important thing when it comes to maintenance and no other product could offer that – Toyota genuine right throughout,” Horwood says.

Express delivery The team at CBC make sure to get spare parts urgently to the people that need them Sometimes, when it comes down to the crunch and there’s an issue with equipment, it isn’t feasible to wait on a replacement part to be delivered by an OEM, which is why CBC regularly manufactures components for customers as part of its Local Production Requisition (LPR) service.

According to Leon Stefanec, CBC national business development manager for food and beverage, this service entails either CBC manufacturing components to customer requirements in its own workshops or contracting the job out to local engineering companies.

In either case, the flexibility and adaptability to changing circumstances becomes a solution for customers who are in a tight spot.

“OEM parts are sometimes unavailable or have long lead times when customers require a custom solution,” Stefanec says.

“So, LPRs are a unique special offer that we provide. We have our own in-house qualified drafters or engineers who use the latest software to provide technical and manufacturing drawings, which can then, in turn, be used to manufacture custom parts for our customers.”

Stefanec points to a recent

example where a large-scale bakery, operating 24/7, required the services of CBC to supply a new 1.4-metrelong shaft for a robot packing machine that had broken one late afternoon.

“The broken shaft was preventing a large batch of finished baked goods from being packaged ready for distribution to a major supermarket chain,” Stefanec explains.

“We were called and were able to visit the site to collect the broken shaft and quickly prepare a manufacturing drawing. From there, we recommended a higher grade of material to prevent a repeat of such a breakage. We then contacted a nearby engineering company that had the material in stock and could manufacture the shaft to the Motion Australia drawing out of regular business hours.”

The shaft was completed by roughly 9:30pm and delivered straight to the bakery for installation.

“Had the site waited for a new shaft to become available from the OEM suppliers, the production line would have been out of commission for several days,” Stefanec says.

“The bakery’s maintenance team fitted the new shaft and completed

CBC’s LPR service can reduce wait times

the packaging process without any additional loss and no loss of product.”

This was an example of how CBC can quickly respond with its own talents and professional network to satisfy an immediate need by getting a broken piece of equipment replaced – although it’s more common for CBC to reverse engineer custom parts or manufacture entirely new items to rectify a precise customer problem, according to Stefanec.

“Each time we manufacture a new LPR item we identify it with a unique part number, which we file with our engineering department database along with relevant drawings, photos, and notes,” Stefanec says.

“This unique number then becomes the item part number and is maintained within our catalogue system. Should our customers require a repeat order of these LPR items our engineers simply extract the drawings and details from our database and issue a purchase order to any of our workshops to commence the manufacture.”

This service is of great utility to customers and has established CBC as a name to trust when the going gets tough.
