THAN JUST PARTS

If it’s great service and high-quality aftermarket body panels and lamps you’re looking for – Moore Truck Parts has you covered The story of Moore Truck Parts (MTP) is a story that’s been more than four decades in its making.

The family business first opened its doors in 1980, determined to offer customers great aftermarket parts to help businesses keep the wheels turning, without charging too much and breaking the bank.

MTP is owned by Peter Moore who works alongside his son Luke, who today works as the company’s manager.

The duo has clocked up more than 50 years’ experience between them when it comes to sourcing and selling parts to fit all manner of trucks.

They are also both qualified panel beaters and know firsthand how important it is to have the right parts on hand at the right time.

From a single shed 43 years ago, the business has grown to have offices at Smeaton Grange in New South Wales, Stapylton in Queensland and Adelaide in South Australia.

Over time they’ve built strong relationships with suppliers and loyal customers and constantly expanded and honed their range to match the needs of the market.

MTP is now the largest supplier of quality aftermarket truck panels and lamps in Australia – carrying a wide range designed to suit Japanese and European trucks such

as Hino, Isuzu, Mitsubishi, DAF, Scania, Volvo and more. All of MTP’s new parts are checked for quality and come with a lifetime replacement warranty guarantee (T&Cs apply) that allows customers to have confidence in their purchase.

With a thorough knowledge of the demands of the industry, Moore Truck Parts offers next day delivery to Sydney metro areas for orders placed before 9am and “the most cost effective and/or free delivery on selected multiple parts to the east coast of Australia (NSW, VIC & QLD) for all orders placed online”.

A small fee is charged for delivery to the rest of Australia and/or overseas, and delivery times in these cases depend on each individual freight company.

The friendly team at MTP continuously goes above and beyond to help their loyal and new customers.

If MTP does not stock the part or parts you are after, the team will do their utmost to find it for you or to point you in the right direction to get you back on the road ASAP. So, if there is a truck part or some truck parts you’re after, it is always worth a call to MTP on 1800 044 909 or an email to sales@mooretruckparts.com.au to see how they can help.

News One of the bio-gas powered Volvo trucks operating in Europe

Volvo’s cooking with gas The new Volvo range of trucks now provides more power and range while still running on environmentally-friendly biogas Global heavy vehicle brand Volvo Trucks has announced the launch of a new, stronger gas-powered truck that can run on liquified biogas.

Volvo says the new truck is able to carry out long distance transport tasks while still reducing carbon emissions for operators.

Five years ago, Volvo launched trucks that run on liquified biogas, known as bio-LNG, with the fuel source being produced from many types of organic waste, such as food scraps.

Now, the new truck is four per cent more fuel efficient as a gas-powered truck, with the model getting a new power level of 500hp together with a 10 per cent larger gas tank.

“Biogas is a great complement to electric transports, helping hauliers with their sustainability ambitions and aims towards climate neutral transports,” Volvo Trucks

gas-powered truck product manager Daniel Bergstrand says.

The gas-powered trucks in the Volvo FH and FM are getting a new power level of 500 hp, joining the previous 420 and 460 hp engines.

The gas engines also get major technical upgrades that makes them up to four per cent more fuel efficient, which, together with a new 10 per cent larger gas tank, contributes to a longer range.

“Our efficient gas-powered trucks have a performance comparable to their diesel equivalents.

“Fueling up is almost as fast as a diesel truck and the growing network of more than 600 fuel stations for both bio-LNG and LNG in Europe makes them ideal for long-haul transports,” Bergstrand says.

Volvo says the strengthened gaspowered line up fits well with Volvo Trucks three-path strategic roadmap

to reach zero emissions: battery electric trucks, fuel cell trucks and combustion engines that run on renewable fuels like biogas, HVO or even green hydrogen.

“Several technical solutions are needed because the availability of energy and fuel infrastructure differs greatly between countries and regions and also because the requirements for each transport assignment can vary,” Bergstrand says.

European production of bio-LNG is expected to ramp up quickly to shift away from the use of fossil LNG. The EU Commission has put forward a plan called REPower EU, where the focus is on creating greatly increased domestic production capacity for different kinds of energy.

The plan is to boost annual biogas production ten times by 2030 and the sector has already started a rapid growth phase.

Pressure on for prototypes Mack Trucks has won the right to produce three prototypes for evaluation by the US Army ahead of a modernisation of its heavy vehicle tactical fleet of more than 35,000 vehicles Mack, via Mack Defense, has until January 24 to present an on-road tractor, an off-road tractor, and a load-handling system truck for testing and evaluation by the US Army.

The trucks are to be considered as part of the Common Tactical Truck Program which aims to build a modern, scalable, commercialbased platform for the army fleet.

The CTT Program is also seeking advanced safety technologies, increased off-road capability, advanced cybersecurity, open systems architecture, improved fuel efficiency and commonality across the fleet to make it more sustainable.

Mack Defense president David Hartzell says his business has the experience to get the job done.

“We were confident in our ability to meet the needs outlined by the U.S. Army when we submitted our initial bid,” Hartzell says.

“Being chosen for the prototype phase of this program confirms that the Army recognises Mack Defense

has the experience, in adapting our commercial based products, technologies and global value chain, needed to meet the strict requirements outlined for the CTT.” Upon completion of the prototype evaluations and testing in 2025 the Army is expected to launch a separate competition which will lead to production contract for the modernisation of the heavy tactical vehicle fleet.

The US Army has stated that an initial production contract could be over 7,000 trucks, valued at more than $5.1 billion.

Mack Defense is currently performing two major defense programs, each with a scope that directly aligns with the CTT. Both projects use modified, commercialbased vehicles from the extensive global Volvo Group network.

The first is the U.S. Army’s M917A3 Heavy Duty Dump Truck (HDT) based on the commercial Mack Granite model.

The second is the Canadian

Mack Defense has been chosen to build three prototypes for the U.S. Army’s Common Tactical Truck (CTT) Program.

Medium Support Vehicle System - Standard Military Pattern (MSVSSMP) based on the Renault Kerax 8x8 truck.

Mack Defense brought together expertise from the U.S., Canada, and France to successfully deliver 1,587 vehicles during a five-year production contract from June 2015 to June 2020 and is currently in the third year of a sustainment contract for the MSVS which includes parts, field service, maintenance, and repair.

As a part of the Volvo Group, Mack Defense is part of a global truck brand network, including Mack Trucks, Volvo Trucks and Renault Trucks, with manufacturing facilities in 19 countries, operations in 36 countries, and servicing customers worldwide through its global parts and servicelogistics capabilities.

Makeover for Iveco line-up Iveco has updated its latest Daily van and cab chassis range to offer more comfort for drivers New seats with memory foam and a taller head rest are just a couple of the changes Iveco has introduced into its MY22 Daily range for the Australian and New Zealand market.

The latest MY22 Daily range offers larger drivers memory foam in the seats for better comfort and a slightly deeper bulkhead to accommodate taller drivers.

Other changes to the cabin include longer seatbelts to accommodate Aussie and Kiwi bodies and lengthened seat rails to allow greater adjustability.

A shift to electric power steering across the range – from hydraulic in preceding models – delivers several benefits for operators too.

Iveco says the change now enables both tilt and telescopic steering wheel adjustment for improved ergonomics compared to earlier models’ telescopic-only adjustment.

In slow speed driving situations, or when negotiating tight loading zones or carparks, drivers can actuate the new ‘City Mode’ button on the dash, which reduces steering effort by up to 70 per cent to help reduce fatigue.

A further benefit of the new steering is that allows for the introduction of Proactive Lane Keep Assist to complement the already present Lane Departure Warning feature.

Proactive Lane Keep Assist uses a windscreen-mounted camera that recognises road markings and sounds an alarm if the vehicle strays from its lane without the driver first signalling. If this occurs, the system will autonomously intervene and correct the vehicle’s trajectory.

From a maintenance and functionality perspective, electric power steering means there’s no additional energy absorption from the engine reducing fuel consumption, while lowering vehicle weight and eliminating the chance of oil leaks.

In the load space, previously black grab handles are now yellow for added visibility and safety.

Positioning and manoeuvring the

The MY22 Iveco Daily and cab chassis models have had a makeover

latest Daily range is also now easier with adoption of a high-resolution reversing camera for all van models.

The new camera features dynamic lines for extra guidance and provides feedback of the distance to objects at the rear of the vehicles at low speeds (0 to 30km/h).

This camera is also offered as an option on cab chassis models in conjunction with standard reversing sensors – these sensors are a first for the light truck cab chassis segment and integrate with the instrument cluster, providing visual distance and acoustic indication.

Van boost for Sixt When the time came to add more vehicles to their fleet the team at Sixt Rentals opted to buy 45 Iveco Daily vans Sixt may be a newer name to Australia’s vehicle rental market, but some 14 months since launching in the country, it’s already achieving significant cut-through thanks to its modern fleet, bold branding and emphasis on customer service or ‘above and beyonding’, as the company refers to it.

Commercial vehicles make up a considerable portion of the SIXT fleet and include utilities through to light trucks, tippers and mine spec vehicles.

A recent addition to these offerings are 45 Iveco Daily 35S vans, which were purchased predominantly to meet the growing needs of Sixt’s long-term rental customers working in pick-up and delivery applications.

The 12m vans feature Iveco’s 2.3l Euro6 turbodiesel engine, coupled to the market-leading 8-speed full automatic transmission, along with a raft of standard active and passive safety features including four SRS airbags, Advanced Emergency Braking System and Iveco’s ‘ESP9’ program, a suite of nine electronic driving aids.

Sixt National Commercial Fleet Manager Ian Moore has been with the company since its inception in Australia, but has almost 25 years’ experience in the rental industry.

He says that the Daily vans were a great fit for Sixt and the requirements of its clients.

“From a specification standpoint, the Daily offered an extremely close match to what we seek in a van,” Moore says.

“The vehicles we select need to be practical and flexible to suit varying final mile delivery duties and must also align with Sixt’s broader requirements around safety and emission performance. The Daily meets stringent Euro6 emission levels and is also well equipped from a safety standpoint – it’s important we can provide these benefits to our customers as well as other road users.”

Another major consideration for Sixt is the comfort and user friendliness of its fleet.

“Users of the Daily will typically spend long hours at the wheel each day and often in city areas where

Sixt has boosted its fleet with a swag of new Iveco vans

there’s traffic congestion, so it’s vital that we chose a model that was comfortable and easy to use,” Moore says.

“With the full automatic transmission, a long list of driver appointments and car-like seating position, the Daily is simple to drive; access to the cabin and load space is also good, which makes it less tiring for drivers who are regularly getting in and out of the vehicle to make deliveries.”

Another area of emphasis for SIXT is what it terms ‘the green mobility transformation’ – it’s a transformation that’s already begun with the company boasting one of the country’s largest passenger EV rental fleets.

Commercial fleet electrification is also on SIXT’s agenda with interest being shown in Iveco’s new eDaily.

“We’re well aware of the eDaily model and its availability in Europe and know that the range is also slated for launch in Australia later in the year. On paper these models would meet a lot of our requirements in the commercial EV space. We look forward to them landing,” Moore says.

Innovator’s hydrogen vision for Europe

The Europa, by zepp.solution, will be powered by hydrogen

Dutch fuel cell company zepp.solution is venturing into the heavy vehicle market with the imminent release of its hydrogen fuel cell powered truck, Europa.

A zero-emission hydrogen fuel cell truck offering the same ease of operation and payload capacity as a diesel truck, is set to hit the market in Europe by Q4, 2023.

The truck is the work of a young Netherland’s based business zepp. solutions that specialises in new fuel cell technology.

Named Europa, the hydrogen truck is designed to replace the diesel 4x2 tractor unit most commonly used in European transport tasks.

The hydrogen truck is able to cover a long range on a single tank, and also has a sleeper cab, quick refuelling and the ability to pull an ISO trailer (13.6m container).

The first vehicles will enter operation in Q4 2023 as 4×2 tractor units with 350 bar hydrogen storage systems.

With more than 50 kg of usable hydrogen on board, the vehicles will have a range of more than 700 km.

In late 2024, the truck will also become available in a 700-bar

hydrogen storage version (>80 kg usable H2), pushing the range to well over 1000 km on a single fill.

The usable electrical energy content of the hydrogen after conversion is more than 900 kWh and 1450 kWh for the 350 and 700 bar versions respectively.

The current infrastructure mix in Europe in terms of re-filling hydrogen trucks favours the 350 bar version of the truck rather than the 700 bar variant – making the 350 bar the vehicle of choice.

Zepp.solution says its hydrogenelectric powertrain could also be fitted to other vehicle configurations such as box trucks, other axle configurations and cabs.

“The heart of the powertrain is a single zepp X150 fuel cell module, with the option to integrate further stacks and/or modules for increased efficiency and range,” it says.

“The X150 fuel cell module and zepp’s hydrogen storage systems are also available as standalone units for integration into other

vehicles or applications.”

The Europa truck design is optimised for the European transport sector with strict EU regulations guiding its development.

In most EU countries, the maximum gross combined vehicle weight is 40 metric tons. EU legislation increases this weight limit to 42 metric tons for zero-emission N3 articulated vehicles. Because the Europa tractor weighs less than 2 tonnes more than its diesel counterpart, it will offer a similar payload capacity.

“The Europa truck is another shining example of our commitment to providing sustainable transportation solutions to the market,” says zepp.solution cofounder Kevin Schreiber.

“And this is just the beginning.

The integrated hydrogen fuel cell system X150 and our hydrogen storage systems are also available for integration by other manufacturers.

We’re looking forward to their applications of our systems.”

Hyundai’s mighty electric push Hyundai has added to its EV range with its newly announced Mighty electric truck model Global vehicle brand Hyundai has announced that its Mighty electric truck will join Hyundai’s local electrified vehicle fleet this year.

The zero-emission Mighty electric will join the Kona Electric, IONIQ 5 and the soon-to-arrive IONIQ 6 electric vehicles, with Hyundai’s Australian arm currently coordinating expressions of interest for customers.

A continuation of Hyundai’s sustainable commercial vehicle momentum, Mighty electric follows on from XCIENT Fuel Cell, the brand’s first-ever hydrogen-powered heavy truck, currently deployed in Switzerland and California.

Mighty electric has an estimated laden range of approximately 240km and Hyundai says it’s the ideal zero-emission workhorse for metropolitan and last-mile deliveries.

Mighty electric’s 120kW, 320Nm traction motor is powered by a 114.5kWh battery system with rapid charging capability allowing the battery to go from 10 per cent to 100 per cent in under 70 minutes.

This technology gives Mighty electric capabilities that complement those of the long-haul, heavy load XCIENT Fuel Cell prime mover, which Hyundai is studying for a potential trial in Australia.

Mighty electric will help drive an expansion in emissions-free commercial transport options by

demonstrating its driveability and everyday practicality, while helping to reduce the carbon footprint of transport and logistics operations in Australia.

Hyundai says heavy vehicles make up only four per cent of the national vehicle fleet, yet ICE heavy vehicles are responsible for 25 per cent of all vehicle emissions in Australia. This means each Mighty electric will have a disproportionately large impact on total emissions reduction.

The arrival of this efficient and effective electric truck will mark another important step towards Hyundai Motor Company’s global ambition to be carbon neutral in products and operations by 2045.

“We are excited to announce Mighty electric truck for Australia as a key step in driving growth in emissions-free commercial vehicles,” Hyundai Motor Company Australia CEO Ted Lee says.

“Mighty electric will bolster our growing EV line-up and underlines Hyundai’s continuing commitment to developing sustainable mobility solutions.”

In addition to its efficient EV technology, the Mighty electric represents the latest in cab, including comfort and convenience features such as a digital dash display, a multi-function steering wheel and a suspended driver’s seat.

Hyundai says Mighty electric

Production of the Hyundai Mighty electric truck is set to start later this year

comes packed with safety technology features including: • Forward Collision-avoidance Assist (FCA): On detecting a collision risk with the vehicle ahead, FCA will warn the driver, and then apply the brakes to avoid or reduce the severity of a collision • Lane Departure Warning System (LDW): The front camera monitors the painted lane markers and if the vehicle begins to drift out of the lane LDW alerts the driver with an audible alarm and a visual alert • Electronic Stability Control (ESC): On detecting tyre slip, ESC stabilises the vehicle to prevent loss of directional control • Electronic Air Brake System (EBS): A full Electronic Air Brake System in Mighty electric features an air-activated wheel parking brake, for optimal performance Mighty electric is classed as a Light Duty Heavy Truck (3,501 - 8,000kg GVM) and has an approximate cargo capacity between one and 3.5 tonne, depending on the variant and upper body specification.

From launch, the Mighty electric line-up will be available in a single 7,300kg Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) variant, in 4x2 configuration with a 3,300mm wheelbase.

Mighty electric production for Australia is set to start in Q2 2023, with final specifications and pricing to be confirmed closer to launch.

Allison Transmissions star in Dakar top 10 winners list

Allison Transmissions featured on the stars of the show in this year’s Dakar Rally

Perfectly timed automatic gear changes, with no loss of power, helped the elite truck teams in this year’s Dakar Rally to land in the top 10 Every truck in the top 10 of this year’s Dakar rally was fitted with an Allison Transmission Through the sand, the heat and the tough terrain of the 8,549km 2023 Dakar Rally the trucks from Team De Rooy pushed on relentlessly as part of their mission to bring home a win.

Truck number #502, driven by Janus van Kasteran, Marcel Snijders and Darek Rodewald, completed that mission in first place for the Team De Rooy, followed by truck #506 driven by Martin van den Brink in third and #511 driven by his son Mitchel in fourth.

Just like all of the top 10 finishing trucks to compete in this years rally along the shores of the Red Sea across Saudi Arabia and into Dammam, Team De Rooy’s vehicles were all fitted with Allison Transmissions.

Team captain and owner Gerard De Rooy, said the transmissions played a big part in the reliability of the vehicles and their abilty to keep powering through the 15 day event.

“This Dakar was one of the toughest ones I remember and one with many surprises,” De Rooy says.

“With the Allison fully automatic transmission the teams were able to drive full speed and with full power to the wheels through the toughest terrains.”

Sjored Vos, Allison Transmissions’ director of marketing for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, says the business has been involved with the rally for many years, working alongside its authorised distributors including Drive Line Systems in the Netherlands and NIMDA in the Czech Republic.

“Allison is proud to provide Dakar competitors with robust fully automatic transmissions that deliver superior reliability, maneuverability, acceleration and industry-leading performance,” Vos says.

“There’s no motorsport rally more demanding than Dakar, and Allison automatic transmissions once again

demonstrated their proven ability to perform in a variety of demanding conditions, including steep hills, sand dunes and soft ground”.

Allison Transmissions draw on a range of patented technologies to produce their award winning results include a torque convertor that smoothly multiplies engine torque, “delivering more power to the wheels for faster acceleration and greater manueverability, specifically on sandy and muddy terrain”.

It’s trademarked Continuous Power Technology is another factor, enabling the transmission to automatically shift at the right time by taking into account payload, surface grip and grade. It means no loss of power or speed when changing gears.

The retarder built into the transmission package is another highlight, designed to help the trucks slow down with less reliance on the braking system.

Feature Mckyla Hull with her custom rig

Livestock shuffling with FUSO Tamworth’s JM Pastoral has a new kid in the flock in the form of its customised Fuso Fighter For Mckyla Hull the wait has been worth it.

As the proud owner of a new Fuso Fighter, complete with a custom livestock tray, Hull is riding in comfort hauling stock from place to place.

Fuso says Hull selected a quality livestock crate from JM Welding, a company she owns with husband John.

Despite her unique position, Hull waited for her build slot like other JM Welding customers but was thrilled with the result when it was ready to hit the road after six months.

“No jumping the queue for me. I had to wait in line like everybody else,” she says.

“But it was worth the wait, and it was so nice when it was finished.”

Hull loves truck driving, which probably should not come as a surprise.

Her father Darren drove a livestock

truck and Hull and her brother spent a lot of time washing it, as well as going for the occasional ride-along.

Now, her ‘mostly-retired’ father comes along sometimes and shares driving duties with Hull to make sure she doesn’t run out of logbook hours.

“Dad loves that I ended up driving a livestock truck,” Hull says.

Given the livestock industry has been so traditionally male-dominated, it is no small achievement.

Hull and her husband buy and sell

Proud to be part of the JM Pastoral team

cattle, which accounts for some of her cargo, but most of the work for the JM Pastoral transport arm is moving cows, sheep and goats for others all over New South Wales.

Her old Fuso Fighter served Hull well, but it had recently notched up 800,000km and was ready to leave the road and take on a new role as a farm truck.

“It was a great truck that never let me down and it also went like a scolded cat which was nice.

“We didn’t have to touch the engine or gearbox or even change a clutch, but given its mileage I didn’t want to take the chance that it would give up out in some really remote location,” she says.

Hull didn’t hesitate to head into JT Fossey in Tamworth to buy a new Fuso Fighter because her family has known salesman, John Saint, for decades.

“John is such a great guy and we have always had fantastic service from the guys at JT Fossey, they are always keen to help,” she says.

Hull chose a 1627 Fighter, which gets along using a 270hp/784Nm, 7.5-litre six-cylinder turbo diesel linked up to a nine-speed manual.

Hull wants her gear as simple as possible so that if ever anything does go wrong, it can be fixed anywhere at any time.

The Fighter also comes with a manufacturer warranty that covers the truck for five years or 350,000km, whichever comes first, which provides additional peace of mind.

The Fighter was fitted with a JM Welding 24-foot single deck antibruise stock crate that features in-floor drainage, a drop ramp and a rear-slide gate.

It can carry around 80 to 100 sheep, 35 smaller cows (weighing approximately 200kg) or 18 large cows and Hull covers a lot of ground moving stock to all corners of the state.

“One of the best things about my job is travelling to all these wonderful places. I just love it,” she says.

Handy to have JM Welding in the family to knock up a custom stock cage for the new Fuso Fighter

Figures don’t tell the whole story Statistics are just numbers that need context “Lies, damned lies, and statistics” is a quote attributed to American author Mark Twain.

It’s meant to be about the way some people use numbers to prop up a weak argument.

The team at NatRoad read volumes of reports and studies, most of them based on statistics.

It’s part of our job.

We do it so you don’t have to.

And as hard as it is to believe, some of us even enjoy it.

The fact is that you need statistical evidence to support policy change.

No policy-or law-maker, or politician for that matter, should act without it.

It’s interesting then to reflect on some recent statistics that appeared in mainstream media as we focussed on a new year and some of the challenges our industry is facing.

One of them is access.

According to Federal Government figures, in 1976-77, rail moved 22.8 per cent of domestic non-bulk freight in Australia, while road transport took 65.5 per cent.

By 2021-22, rail had dipped to 16.7 per cent of domestic non-bulk freight, with trucks taking 79.8 per cent.

Coastal shipping’s share of the freight task has also fallen - from roughly 13 per cent four decades ago to under four per cent.

States and Territories across Australia have set targets over the last decade to increase the use of rail by up to 30 per cent of the freight task.

Despite best efforts, rail’s share of freight movements in and out of

Rail, sea and road freight need to work together

Warren Clark, CEO of the National Road Transport Association

container ports sits at between two and 17 per cent.

Let’s not play one mode off against the other.

Road, rail and shipping will always have differing roles to play in the freight task.

Road can’t move bulk freight in the volumes that rail and shipping can.

Rail doesn’t have the reach of road.

And most rail freight runs on lines shared with passenger trains and can only pass through built-up areas at off-peak times.

The Last Mile is becoming increasingly important in the logistics chain as consumers demand more convenience.

We’re familiar with the Climate Change Authority’s statistic that road transport of all kinds accounted for 16 per cent of Australia’s total emissions) in 2018.

All governments need to do more to make the transition to net zero easier for our sector.

According to the European-based International Transport Forum, only four countries (Canada, China, Japan and the US) currently have fuel economy standards for trucks,

covering 51 per cent of the global road freight market.

The Australasian Railway Association says rail is expected to meet almost three quarters of the growth in demand for freight to 2030.

The construction of Inland Rail could be a driver of that - but I’m not so sure.

Its primary objective is to move bulk and container freight more easily between Brisbane and Melbourne.

It has the potential to boost economies in inland cities where intermodal terminals will facilitate mode shift to road.

NatRoad is supportive of improving efficiency and safety across all modes - but more needs to be done to make them operate in synch.

Let’s ensure that when those goods trains arrive at inland terminals, they are operated in a way that makes the mode shift to road as seamless as possible, so operators don’t take on more cost.

Improving road access around major seaports should be another priority. Road transport needs to operate around the clock to make the best use of these expensive facilities.

High handling costs, new and mysterious access charges and penalties for delays that aren’t the fault of heavy vehicle drivers are all barriers to improving waterfront productivity.

News An artist’s impression of the autonomous hydrogen truck from Heavy Vehicle Systems (HVS)

No driver, no emissions A hydrogen fuel cell specialist based in the UK has been granted $6.6 million pounds to develop a world-first autonomous zero-emissions hydrogen truck for their local market United Kingdom based hydrogenpowered commercial vehicle innovator Hydrogen Vehicle Systems (HVS) has revealed that the consortium it leads Hub2Hub will be awarded a $10.6 million grant to develop a world-first autonomous zero-emissions Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) for the UK market.

The Hub2Hub consortium will create a self-driving heavy goods tractor unit that will begin vehicle trials in 2024 with major UK retailer ASDA. HVS hopes the autonomous vehicle will increase the adoption of zero-emissions vehicles in the freight sector. The $21.3 million venture was

selected by the Centre for Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CCAV) as a recipient for the joint industry and government funded project that aims to showcase autonomy in the transport sector.

HVS demonstrated the hydrogenelectric powertrain technology in November last year before receiving one of seven grants from the CCAV program.

The first hydrogen-electric HGV prototype will be fitted with a driver’s cab and tested on the road in autonomous operation with a human safety driver at the wheel.

The second prototype will have the cab removed and replaced by

an aerodynamic fairing before it gets tested on tracks, while a remote human driver can operate the vehicle from afar.

“A transport revolution is taking place in the UK and HVS together with the consortium to remain at the forefront of the innovation,” HVS CEO Jawad Khursheed says.

“We’re engineering the world’s first autonomous hydrogen-electric powered HGV to demonstrate hub-tohub logistics to a leading retailer.”

HVS says autonomous, self-driving vehicles have the potential to revolutionise haulage and logistics sectors, particularly the long-haul, heavy-duty goods vehicle market.

ASDA senior fleet manager Sean Clifton says: “Reducing our fleet emissions is a major part of our plan of moving towards net zero, so we’re keen to look at innovative new technology, such as autonomous HGV tractor units, which can make a real difference to our carbon footprint.”

“We will continue to work with like-minded partners on projects such as this to reduce our environmental impact.”

FUSO Canter recalled Daimler has recalled 50 Fuso Canters due to a manufacturing defect with its ABS Daimler Truck Australia has issued a recall for 50 affected Fuso Canter truck models due to an issue with its Anti-lock Braking System (ABS).

Daimler says 50 Fuso Canter 2022 models, with variants FEA61 and FB51, have been recalled due to the manufacturing defect.

The issue means the ABS ring may

not be securely fitted to the ABS rotor, possibly resulting in the ABS rotor dislodging.

This could cause ABS system faults and possible brake failure, increasing the risk of an accident and danger.

Daimler Truck Australia says owners of affected vehicles will be contacted by them once parts are available.

The brand will then ask them to contact their nearest authorised Daimler dealership to arrange having the work carried out free of charge to fix the issue.

Fighting for country roads A new Rural Road Alliance is lobbying the federal government for a mulit-billion dollar boost to rural road spending The newly-formed Rural Road Alliance is calling for an emergency funding package totalling nearly $5.5 billion in the upcoming federal budget.

The Alliance – which represents diverse stakeholders from across regional Australia including farmers, transporters and local councils – has been formed in response to the critical challenges facing Australia’s rural road network in the wake of recent flooding and high rainfall.

It includes GrainGrowers, the National Farmers Federation (NFF), Australian Local Government Association (ALGA) and Australian Livestock and Rural Transporters Association (ALRTA).

Since January 2022, there have been 23 flood events, with 429 declarations across 277 local government areas (LGAs).

In January and February, the ongoing east coast flooding event saw more than 82,000 kms impacted by flood-related closures across New South Wales, Queensland, Victoria and South Australia, while Western Australia experienced the devastation of Cyclone Seroja.

The Alliance says recent flooding has taken a wrecking ball to regional

roads, including the nationally significant Hume, Newell, Calder, and Western highways.

GrainGrowers chair Rhys Turton says the rural road network was now at breaking point.

“We’re already seeing recently repaired roads crumbling,” Turton says.

“It’s thrown a challenging grain harvest into disarray as farmers and transporters struggle to move grain from paddock to port.”

ALRTA executive director Mat Munro says the damage was already undermining productivity and safety in the regions.

“Severely damaged roads are dramatically increasing the time and cost of moving freight to and from our rural production centres,” Munro says.

“It’s harder on our vehicles, it’s harder on our drivers, and it’s harder on our livestock.

“It’s holding back development of our regional communities and undermining safety and welfare for all users of country roads.”

ALGA National President Councillor Linda Scott says the ongoing impacts of climate change

Farmers, Councils and transport associations are lobbying the federal government for more money for rural roads

should prompt a fundamental shift in the way Australia funds, delivers and maintains its roads.

In the lead up to the 2023-24 Federal Budget, the Rural Road Alliance is calling for an emergency funding package totalling nearly $5.5 billion, including: • A one-off injection of $1 billion over four years directed at regional road and infrastructure reconstruction for councils impacted by flooding and other natural disasters to ensure the rebuild is to a standard more resilient to future disaster events; • $800 million a year over four years for the Roads to Recovery Program; • $300 million a year over four years to address first and last mile freight productivity; and • Targeted funding through the Roads of Strategic Importance program to improve the longterm climate resilience of freight networks.

The Alliance says its proposed funding package is an opportunity for the Federal government to stem the rapid deterioration of Australia’s rural road network and reduce the cost to the budget of future climate events.

Acusensus was a proud recipient of the Excellence in Research and Development Award

Road safety focus rewarded Acusensus has been recognised for its high tech monitoring platforms

New electric vehicle rules The HVIA says two new Australian Design Rules have been proposed for zero-emissions vehicles The Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia (HVIA) says the federal government has released two proposed Australian Design Rules (ADRs) for consultation relating to the safety of electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles.

The two proposed ADRs include ADR 109/00 relating to electric power train safety requirements and ADR 110/00 for hydrogen fuel cell vehicle safety related performance.

The ADRs will be applicable to all zero-emissions vehicles of vehicle categories MA, MB, MC, MD, ME, NA, NB and NC. The HVIA says both proposed ADRs address safety issues in areas of high voltage as well as the highpressure storage systems associated with hydrogen fuel systems.

The purpose of the ADRs will be to ensure the safety of zero-emissions vehicles, including the protection for occupants, first responders and the wider community.

The HVIA says ADRs 109/00 and 110/00 will harmonise with the relevant international standards, including UN Regulations Number 100 and 134 respectively.

The proposed application dates include November 1, 2023 for all

New design rules are being considered to enhance the safety of electric and hydrogen vehicles

new model vehicles and then November 1, 2024 for all vehicles.

The HVIA says new ADRs for electric vehicles and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles propulsion systems technology have been prioritised due to strong advocacy by industry and other stakeholders.

The Office of Impact Analysis has assessed the introduction of these ADRs as unlikely to have more than minor regulatory impact.

Therefore, no impact assessment has been prepared and the consultation is limited to the relevant ADRs and associated Explanatory Statements.

These instruments are open for public comment from February 1, 2023 for an eight-week period.

Road safety developer Acusensus received the highest accolade in the recent ITS awards, winning the ‘Excellence in Research and Development’ award.

ITS Australia, an independent not-for-profit organisation, uses the awards to showcase the best transport technology development and deployment in the country, reinforcing the nation’s ITS capability and position as a world leader.

The Excellence in Research and Development Award – which was presented at an awards ceremony in Sydney in February, recognises organisations for their ground-breaking transport technology, research, development or innovation.

Acusensus founder and managing director Alexander Jannink says he’s honoured that his company was acknowledged for its contribution to reducing road trauma and fatalities.

“Our goal is to make the roads as safe as possible. Despite improved vehicle designs and road safety improvements, road fatalities have actually been increasing since 2013, largely attributed to distracted driving,” Jannink says.

“Our technology is designed to prevent hundreds of thousands of deaths and road injuries worldwide.

“It’s deeply gratifying for our technology to be recognised by the industry for its ability to efficiently change behaviours of road drivers on a larger scale.”

Acusensus launched its world-first ‘Heads-Up’ safety solution in 2018 to drive behavioural change on road networks, enabling authorities to more easily prosecute drivers for illegal mobile phone use.

Acusensus ‘Heads-Up’ technology automatically detects illegal phone use via fixed or roadside smart cameras that autonomously capture high-resolution photographic evidence of driver behaviour.

The AI-based system can also simultaneously detect speed, seatbelt compliance, incorrect lane use and unregistered vehicles.

Billion dollar rail deal Aurizon and Team Global Express have committed to an 11-year, $1.8 billion, rail freight deal In a landmark deal, Aurizon and Team Global Express (TGE) have signed an 11-year contract to deliver containerised rail freight services along multiple Australian networks.

The partnership, worth around $1.8 billion, will deliver rail linehaul services connecting the east-west (Sydney, Melbourne Adelaide and Perth) as well as the north-south (Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne) networks.

Aurizon says TGE will be a cornerstone customer for them as they help support the expansion of its services into growing interstate containerised freight markets.

Aurizon will use seven train services for the operations with TGE. “This is our biggest non-coal revenue contract ever and Aurizon is delighted to be TGE’s rail provider for its containers transported interstate,” Aurizon managing director and CEO Andrew Harding says.

“Together with TGE we have designed an innovative transport and logistics solution to best meet their end customer needs.

“We both share a strong commitment to helping achieve a net zero emissions future and recognise the significant role rail can play in helping achieve that goal.”

Aurizon’s services for TGE will commence in April 2023 and ramp up to a full service offering by April 2024, including five weekly rail services east-west and two north-south.

TGE will account for around 70 per cent of the capacity of these services, with TGE saying the partnership will significantly improve Australia’s rail freight capacity.

“Our partnership with Aurizon is gamechanging for Team Global Express customers, securing them important extra capacity and more choice, in what to date has been a very limited rail market, with restricted capacity and rising tariffs,” TGE CEO Christine Holgate says.

“Through this partnership, we are able to offer our customers much-needed capacity along crucial routes linking major cities across our country.

“This presents significant opportunities for reliable deliveries, service efficiencies and less carbon intensive transport solutions for customers, whilst helping ensure regional Australians are served.”

Five-day bridge rebuild Track traffic doubled in speedy bridge build In an ultimate knockdown-rebuild for the Botany Rail Duplication project, the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) has dismantled an existing steel single-track rail bridge and constructed a new concrete double-track bridge in just five days on Robey St in Mascot, NSW. The federal government says it is fully funding ARTC to deliver the $400 million rail duplication project, which will deliver better access to global export markets via Port Botany, improve freight supply chains across New South Wales and help reduce the number of trucks on local roads.

The rail line is located in a constrained and high-traffic area, over a major road and situated next to Sydney Domestic Airport, making the challenging works a major achievement. Ultra-High Performance Concrete (UHPC) was utilised to ensure works were completed efficiently and safely.

The bridge works included moving and installing two 36.5-metre-long main bridge girders over Robey Street, weighing 330 tonnes each, during a five-day track closure.

Twenty-four planks were also installed to form the bridge deck using a 600-tonne crawler crane and

A speedy bridge build has double the rail lines to Port Botany in Sydney

a 650-tonne mobile crane.

The project will duplicate the remaining 2.9 km section of single line track to Port Botany and construct a passing loop on the Southern Sydney Freight Line at Cabramatta to accommodate freight trains up to 1,300 metres in length.

“The Botany Rail Duplication is a transformational project; the Robey Street bridge construction indicates major construction works are on track with the project expected to be complete in 2024. Completing the Robey Street bridge works in just five days in a busy urban environment is a major achievement,” ARTC group executive major construction projects Mike Zambelli says.

“Not only will this project increase freight capacity, it will also encourage more freight movements to be made by rail – helping to shift freight away from road transport and reduce truck movements and associated traffic congestion.

“Each extra freight train travelling on the Port Botany Rail Line will take up to 54 trucks off Sydney’s roads and that will be well received by local road users.”

Hapag-Lloyd expands into India German shipping company HapagLloyd has acquired a significant chunk of J M Baxi Ports & Logistics Ltd to expand its worldwide footprint

Geraldton Port powers ahead The WA government says work has begun a major project at the Geraldton Port The Western Australian government’s major investment to future-proof Geraldton Port is steaming ahead, with work beginning on a new $4.5 million roundabout to maximise grain movements from the port.

The roundabout at Marine Terrace intersection will improve traffic flow for trucks entering and leaving the port and improve safety for local road users, pedestrians, cyclists and port customers.

The project will help to support more efficient and effective supply chains for the state’s important grain export industry, with the grain harvest reaching record highs in recent seasons.

The new roundabout is among several significant WA governmentfunded projects being delivered at the Port, including the $350 million Geraldton Port Maximisation Project (PMaxP).

PMaxP is a major infrastructure project which will significantly boost the capacity of Geraldton Port and facilitate the export of new commodities from the Mid-West region.

Contractor BG&E Resources is well progressed in design work for PMaxP, including product handling systems and civil works, in addition to concept validations and vessel and marine simulations.

A critical project for the

Work continues on the redevelopment of Geraldton Port in Western Australia

Mid-West region, PMaxP could boost Geraldton’s export capability by almost 70 per cent, delivering billions to the region and the State’s economy.

“The WA government is getting on with delivering infrastructure that grows both state and local economies and helps new industries thrive,” McGowan says.

“The $350 million expansion project will massively expand the capacity of Geraldton Port and help drive new commodity exports across the Mid-West.

“Our investment will also help to futureproof the industries that our regions have relied on for decades supporting our grain farmers as they continue to deliver for the state.”

WA ports minister Rita Saffioti says expanding the capacity of the State’s ports is critical and the investment from government in projects like the Geraldton Port Maximisation highlights its focus on supporting the Mid-West economy.

“Being able to export new commodities out of Geraldton will also help to grow new industries and jobs, which will support local communities for many decades to come,” Saffioti says.

International shipping and container transport company Hapag-Lloyd has signed a binding agreement under which it will acquire 35 per cent of J M Baxi Ports & Logistics Limited (JMBPL) from a Bain Capital Private Equity affiliate.

Additionally, Hapag-Lloyd signed a binding agreement with JMBPL and its promoters, the Kotak family, to subscribe to a capital increase and raise Hapag-Lloyd’s shareholding to 40 per cent.

The contracting parties agreed to not disclose any financial details of the deal.

J M Baxi Ports & Logistics Limited is a leading private terminal and inland transport service provider in India. Its operations comprise container terminals, a multipurpose terminal, inland container depots, container freight stations and additional logistics activities, such as rail service offerings.

The company employs around 5,400 staff and handles a combined container volume of approximately 1.6 million TEU. J M Baxi Ports & Logistics Limited recently won additional concessions for operating container terminals in Nhava Sheva and Tuticorin.

“Terminal and infrastructure investments are a crucial element of our strategic agenda and India is one of our key growth markets,” Hapag-Lloyd CEO Rolf Habben Jansen says.

“Acquiring a significant share in J M Baxi Ports & Logistics Limited will significantly boost our presence in India with a trusted local partner and it is another important step to build up our terminal and infrastructure business.”

In driving its 2023 strategy, Hapag-Lloyd has continuously expanded its involvement in the terminal sector, most recently through an agreement to acquire the terminal business of Chile-based SM SAAM. Hapag-Lloyd also has stakes in the Italybased Spinelli Group, the JadeWeserPort in Wilhelmshaven, the Container Terminal Altenwerder in Hamburg, Terminal TC3 in Tangier, and Terminal 2 in Damietta, Egypt.

News Harvesting of Australia’s wine grapes rolls out from February to May

Push for safety as wineries hit vintage 2023 Australians love a good wine which is good news for transport operators called upon each year to move than 1.7 million tonnes of grapes from farms to wineries for processing As vineyards around the country start to harvest the fruits of their labour the push is on to ensure the grapey goodness is delivered to the crushing house safely.

The South Australian Wine Industry Association and the National Heavy Vehicle Regular launched Vintage 2023 with a seminar focused on how to ensure grape transport is a safe affair.

SAWIA business services manager Henrik Wallgren reminds wine makers that with heavy vehicle use comes safety risk. He says it also comes with Chain of Responsibility Laws that share the responsibility for safety between growers, contractors, transporters and wineries.

He says the obligations include ensuring that goods are not overloaded, that they are secured properly, that vehicles remain roadworthy and that drivers are not encouraged or pressured to speed or drive while fatigued.

Under the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL), individuals can be fined a maximum penalty of $354,639 or given five years’ imprisonment or both, and corporations can be fined $3,546,390 for breaches that cause risk of death or serious injury.

The NHVR has released a number

of tips for contractors and growers, including: • Ensure transport booking systems are flexible and allow for unexpected delays without penalty • Ensure reasonable arrangements are made to manage loading and unloading time slots • Ensure drivers and their schedulers can be contacted in case of delays • Establish contingency plans in advance in case of delays • Ensure vineyards and wineries have places for drivers to rest • Ensure loads are appropriately restrained and vehicles not overloaded before leaving a site • Establish a process to address overloaded vehicles, i.e., who or what caused the issue and how to avoid it happening again.

NHVR’s stakeholder engagement officer for South Australia, Steve Eickhoff, says the NHVR’s vision is to have a safe, efficient, and productive heavy vehicle industry serving the needs of Australia.

“Chain of Responsibility exists to eliminate or minimise risk to the safety of the heavy vehicle industry and wider community,” he says.

“It ensures everyone who works with heavy vehicles – from the

business that employs a driver to the place where goods are delivered – is accountable for safety.”

SAWIA says that to ensure a consistent national approach to Chain of Responsibility in the wine industry and to assist wine businesses meet their obligations, a Registered Industry Code of Practice is being developed by SAWIA and the NHVR, in partnership with Australian Grape & Wine Inc (AGW).

SAWIA and AGW held stakeholder sessions with wine industry representatives around Australia from 2020 to 2022 to source information and feedback to feed into the code, which will be drafted this year.

Once the code of practice is finalised, an educational program will be conducted across Australian wine regions and online, to educate parties in the wine supply chain about the code and how it can be practically implemented in their respective businesses.

Wallgren says it is important for the wine industry to have its own code of practice as it faced its own unique set of challenges.

“For example, grape spills, which are the most visible safety risk in the wine industry, can cause vehicles to lose traction, they are difficult to clean up, residue can make roads sticky and gluey and many of the spills are happening at night when they are more difficult to see,” he says.

“Across Australian wine regions there are different grapes being picked, different bins and trucks being used, and different distances being travelled, which all contribute different challenges.

“The code of practice must be comprehensive, practical and flexible to provide effective guidance to all members of the Australian grape and wine supply chain.”

For further information about heavy vehicle use in the wine industry or the development of the code of practice contact SAWIA business services manager Henrik Wallgren on (08) 8222 9277 or email henrik@winesa.asn.au.

The M7 motorway in Sydney

Call for NSW toll relief NatRoad has called on the NSW government to match Opposition promises and provide toll relief for truck drivers The National Road Transport Association (NatRoad) has called on the New South Wales state government to adopt the Opposition’s recent proposal to place a toll cap for heavy vehicle drivers on Sydney motorways.

NatRoad wants the government to match the NSW Labor party promise that trucks using the M5 East and M8 will pay a third less for their trips, for two years, if it is re-elected on March 25.

The Labor party promise is that the changes would be introduced alongside

NatRoad CEO Warren Clark

broader relief that would cap weekly tolls at $60 for motorists.

“We’d like to see the concession made on all toll roads, but any relief is welcome,” NatRoad CEO Warren Clark says.

We’re calling on the NSW government to at least match this and show it’s serious about tolling reform.

“Both government and Opposition need to address the underlying problem of high tolls by introducing rebates or incentives that encourage trucks to use them, especially in off-peak periods.”

NatRoad asks NHVR to support PBS changes NatRoad has asked the NHVR to support its proposed amendments to the PBS scheme The National Road Transport Association (NatRoad) says it’s time to address high Performance Based Standards (PBS) regulatory costs and expand the as-of-right access to agreed networks.

NatRoad has told the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) that it wants it to support these proposed changes to the PBS scheme.

NatRoad calls the NHVR’s Performance Based Standards 2.0 discussion paper a “mixed bag”, conceding that many of its proposed reforms are improvements.

But it says that reducing charges and expanding as-of-right access to agreed networks need to be higher priorities as the current arrangements stifle innovation.

NatRoad CEO Warren Clark says there’s no clear path for PBS vehicles to exit the PBS scheme into the ‘as-ofright’ fleet.

“We know that these are issues that the NHVR has to refer to the National Transport Commission (NTC) under current legislation,” Clark says.

“So let’s get on with that and change the scheme so it’s based on performance requirements and not prescriptive ones.”

Clark says NatRoad has members who have spent large amounts to have PBS vehicles designed and approved, only to mothball them because route access has not been granted.

“That does nobody any good,” he says. “We support the immediate development of a fast-tracked PBS approval for heavy vehicles that are built with safety features that allow a maximum vehicle width of up to 2.6 metres as-of-right access to the road network.

“Anything that allows manufacturers to take on assessor and/or certifier functions to minimise time and cost barriers to industry without compromising safety has to be a good thing.”

Clark says NatRoad also backs the NHVR proposal for a High Performance Fleet as a separate, quasi-prescriptive category of heavy vehicle, allowing older PBS vehicles to transition out of the scheme.

“Having a designated High Performance Fleet can achieve this, but allowing further access without requiring a permit remains our preferred option,” Clark says.

News The new bridge over Molonglo River will provide better access and road security for the future developments in the area

Bridging the Molonglo River The federal and ACT governments have secured a contract to construct the transformative Canberra bridge The federal and ACT governments say Canberra’s largest ever bridge project has hit a critical milestone as a contract was issued for the construction of the Molonglo River Bridge.

The contract for the design and construction of the bridge and associated road and public transport infrastructure has been awarded to B.M.D Construction.

The completion of this project will transform the region and better connect the growing suburbs of Molonglo and West Belconnen to the rest of Canberra.

In addition to the 227.5m bridge crossing over the region’s largest

river, 1.7 km of new arterial roads leading to the bridge and five new intersections will be built, providing access to the proposed Molonglo Group Centre from Whitlam and future northern suburbs.

Public transport has also been an important consideration, with the upgrade capable of supporting a future light rail connection.

Two new bus stops will be built and a southbound queue-jump bus lane (on the northern side of the bridge) will be erected to support better access to public transport.

The new bridge will be integrated with the future Molonglo Commercial Centre. Detailed design

will start shortly and is expected to be complete by the end of the year.

Construction will then start on the bridge and road approaches, which are expected to open to traffic around the end of 2025.

This project is jointly funded by the federal and ACT governments on a 50:50 basis and the contract awarded is worth $172.7 million.

“The federal government understands the importance of investing in infrastructure that supports growing populations, reduces congestion and improves travel times,” federal transport minister Catherine King says.

“This project will provide a major economic stimulus to the Canberra region, including supporting an estimated 560 jobs during the detailed design and construction phases.

“Projects like this are important to not only keep Canberrans employed and businesses running, but also to provide the community with better infrastructure and safer roads long into the future.”

ACT transport minister Chris Steel says the project is integral to building the right infrastructure for Canberra’s growing population.

“This project isn’t just about bridging the Molonglo River, it is about constructing the lead-in roads with intersections that link with the new suburb of Molonglo which will be the region’s commercial centre,” Steel says.

“The new bridge will provide a reliable connection for Canberrans in both directions to the City, Belconnen, Weston Creek and Woden and pave the way for expanded rapid bus routes.

“This is one of our city’s largest ever bridge projects, and I know the Molonglo community will be excited to see this next milestone reached and will be looking forward to construction getting underway as soon as possible.

Port Hedland project kicks off More than $600 million will be spent boosting the services at Port Hedland The Western Australian and federal government have announced that work has commenced on expanding the export and import capacity of the port of Port Hedland.

The governments say the project will unlock trade and investment opportunities, creating hundreds of new jobs and helping drive Australia’s net zero ambitions.

The federal government is investing $565 million to support common user port upgrades in the Pilbara, including expanding Lumsden Point in the port of Port Hedland, a project that the Western Australian government is contributing $96.5 million towards.

The WA government says the project will deliver new multi-user facilities to help diversify trade in the area while supporting the growth of renewable industries.

This includes increasing the capacity to export battery metals, like lithium and copper concentrates, as well as import renewable energy infrastructure such as wind turbines.

Growing the capacity of Pilbara Ports has been identified by Infrastructure Australia as a national infrastructure priority.

Lumsden Point forms part of the port of Port Hedland Development Plan Review, which was undertaken to maximise export capacity at the port.

The first stage of works on the project will construct two seawalls and a new causeway, which will connect the wharf to the proposed logistics hub.

MGN Civil was awarded the contract to complete the first of the seawalls, with a tender to soon to be released for the delivery of the second.

Pilbara-based businesses will benefit from the first seawall contract, with 90 per cent of materials and suppliers to be sourced within the region and additional sub-contracting and labour opportunities on offer.

This will include partnerships with First Nations businesses and economic opportunities for communities across the north-west.

“The federal government will deliver $565 million to upgrade port facilities across the Pilbara - this will help unlock trade and investment opportunities, local jobs and help drive Australia’s Net Zero future,” Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says.

“Demand is growing locally and overseas for clean energy sources

Port Hedland’s shipping capacity is in line for a welcome boost

and our government’s investment in the Lumsden Point expansion will help position Northern Australia to take advantage of the economic opportunities this demand presents.”

WA Premier Mark McGowan says the Pilbara will receive a much-needed boost to its shipping capabilities.

“This port expansion will help to position Port Hedland at the forefront of the future green industries that will drive our state’s economy for decades to come,” he says.

“We’re investing in projects to diversify our economy and create local jobs right across the state.”

WA transport minister Rita Saffioti says: “The Pilbara is the engine room of both the Western Australian and Australian economies, and it’s so important we have both levels of government working together to expand our export and import capacity.”

“We have a lot of natural advantages in Western Australia, but we must keep investing in the infrastructure that will drive our future growth and ensure our state and country capitalises on the opportunities that come from the transition to renewables.”

Newcastle Port powering ahead The Port of Newcastle says its diverse trade has allowed it to go from strength to strength despite supply chain issues The Port of Newcastle says trade volumes through the port remained strong in 2022 despite the impact of multiple flood events.

CEO Craig Carmody says the results are testament to the Port’s resilience during one of the wettest years in recent memory.

“In the first half of 2022 the Hunter experienced five flood events, which had implications across the supply chain,” he says.

“Unsurprisingly this contributed to an overall decrease in total import/ export trade volumes and ship visits through the Port compared to 2021 – handling 145 million tonnes of cargo and recording 4261 vessel movements in 2022.

“Through a collaborative response and making good use of the David Allan dredger and the Port’s new sweeper vessel Lydia, we were able to help reduce the impacts of the floods and return the channel to its designed depth, sooner and safely.”

Executive manager of Business Development Matthew Swan says despite the challenges of 2022, the Port continued to see strong trade volumes across a number of key export commodities.

“Meals and grain exports, predominately to China, Japan, and Pakistan recorded a 56 per cent year on year increase, buoyed by a rise in the export of sorghum, barley and canola, with 479,000 tonnes shipped through the port in 2022,” Swan says.

“Wheat continued to perform strongly. The 2.7 million tonnes

Despite unprecedented rain in 2022 the Port of Newcastle reported strong growth

exported being the second-highest year following 2021.

“Port of Newcastle continued to support major projects in the region with roll on, roll off, and project cargo including wind turbine components for the Rye Park Wind Farm, rail wagons for the Sydney Metro project as well as grain and coal haulers, equipment for the Snowy 2.0 Kurri Power Station, and mining equipment for customers in the Hunter Valley.”

The 2022 trade figures come at an exciting time for Port of Newcastle as it takes significant steps forward in its diversification.

“2023 will be an important year for the Port and our commitment to build a container terminal in Newcastle,” Carmody says.

“Once the valuation process for the Port of Newcastle Extinguishment of Liability Act is complete, we look forward to a future where businesses right across the Hunter, Western and Northern NSW can import and export their product through the Port more efficiently and cost effectively.

“We’re also taking further steps to secure jobs and the region’s future prosperity by developing a dedicated Clean Energy Precinct that will see the Hunter become a hub for the development, production and export of green energy like hydrogen.”

Sydney motorists are saving time with the opening of the M4 and M8 link on WestConnex

Sydney M4 and M8 Link opens early Motorists are already enjoying the benefits of Sydney’s M4 and M8 link One of the final major components of Transurban’s WestConnex project – 7.5km of tunnels linking the M4 at Haberfield and the M8 at St Peters – opened to traffic on January 20 – two months ahead of schedule.

The new link is expected to save users around 40 minutes on a journey between Western Sydney and Sydney Airport, allowing them to bypass 52 sets of traffic lights.

The M4 and M8 link is the third stage of the $16.8 billion WestConnex project being delivered in a partnership between the NSW government and the federal government.

Roads Australia says sustainability has been a key focus for the project, with the tunnels using sustainable materials and energy efficient technology. The project is complemented by 23km of new and improved cycleways and walkways.

Port Wakefield projects complete

Road upgrades at Port Wakefield have improved freight safety on the National Land Transport Network

The overpass and highway duplication works at Port Wakefield in South Australia are now open to traffic Wild Dog Creek culvert will be upgraded to be safer for large road trains

Bridging the freight gap A tougher bridge design will help boost freight productivity in South Australia Tenders have been called to replace a major crossing at Wild Dog Creek on the Horrocks Highway in South Australia to make it safer for the biggest road trains.

The SA department for Infrastructure and Transport says the gap between Wilmington and Gladstone will be bridged with the replacement of the Wild Dog Creek culvert.

The new structure will be a wider, stronger structure, with compliant bridge barriers that the government says will provide greater efficiency and improved travel times with adjacent regions.

It says the new culvert will also increase safety for all road users by reducing the likelihood of a crash occurring and by reducing the severity should a crash occur.

The $4.1 million project is funded by the federal and South Australian governments, with $3.28 million of funding through the federal Bridges Renewal Program and $820,000 from the South Australian government.

Work on the Wild Dog Creek culvert is expected to start in April 2023 and be completed in May 2024.

The Port Wakefield Overpass and Highway Duplication projects have officially opened to traffic as a solution to bottlenecks in the region.

The federal government says the $124.5 million overpass and duplicated Port Wakefield Highway have already proven to make a real difference.

Recent long weekends and school holidays saw traffic flowing smoothly through the town and on towards the Yorke Peninsula and the state’s north.

Work completed includes: • Two lanes in each direction through Port Wakefield, with allowance for safe U-turns • A new two-lane overpass for traffic travelling southbound from the Copper Coast Highway to Port Wakefield and for traffic travelling along the Augusta Highway to the Copper Coast Highway • The removal of hazardous turns at the intersection of the Port Wakefield, Copper Coast and Augusta highways • Improved pedestrian access and landscaping in the township of Port Wakefield • Realignment of the Balaklava Road intersection to allow for safer turns • New bridges over the Wakefield River The works have also improved parking through the town to support local businesses.

Port Wakefield Highway typically carries nearly 9,000 vehicles per day, however this can almost double during holiday peak periods and on long weekends.

“The completion of the $124.5

million Port Wakefield Overpass and Highway Duplication project is a major milestone for infrastructure in South Australia,” South Australian regional roads minister Geoff Brock says.

“The upgrade has passed its first tests and we’re looking forward to seeing it continue benefiting road users for many years to come.

“It has reduced congestion and improved safety and traffic flow for all motorists, including the thousands of South Australians who travel through Port Wakefield on their way to holiday destinations on the Yorke Peninsula or beyond.

“This has been a long-awaited project, and we’re thankful to both the local community and drivers passing through for their patience.”

The project was delivered by the Port Wakefield to Port Augusta Alliance, a consortium comprising of CPB Contractors, Aurecon and GHD, in conjunction with the South Australian Department for Infrastructure and Transport.

It was jointly funded by the federal and South Australian governments on an 80:20 basis.

Federal transport minister Catherine King says its completion is good news for the area.

“I’m thrilled to see the difference this project is already making for the region,” King says.

“Importantly, it has also improved safety and freight productivity along the National Land Transport Network, which will have flow-on benefits for businesses and communities.”

Terminal boost for Melbourne Governments are celebrating a major investment in Melbourne’s new intermodal freight terminal in the city’s north

A push to move shipping containers by rail rather than road is at the heart of the changes coming at Somerton Intermodal Terminal in Melbourne’s north

Both the federal and Victorian state governments have welcomed significant private sector investment to help build and operate a $400 million intermodal freight terminal in Melbourne’s north.

Intermodal Terminal Company (ITC) announced it would soon start construction of the Somerton Intermodal Terminal, which will be a key node in the federal and Victorian governments’ $58 million Port Rail Shuttle Network.

The terminal will create jobs, remove thousands of truck movements from suburban roads, reduce carbon emissions and increase efficiency as well as safety for producers, farmers, freight operators and exporters.

When at capacity, ITC expect the Somerton Intermodal Terminal to take 500,000 truck trips off Melbourne’s roads – equivalent to 454 million truck kilometres. Each year, it will also save 451 million litres of fuel and reduce carbon emissions by 189,000 tonnes.

Both governments want to move more freight by rail in the state.

By 2050, the Port Rail Shuttle Network is expected to move 30 per cent of Melbourne’s containers by rail from Somerton, Altona and

“The shuttle network will also deliver a huge safety boost for motorists by moving freight off the roads and onto rail. I’m thrilled to see this private sector backing for the landmark project.”

Victorian ports and freight minister Melissa Horne says the Somerton Intermodal Terminal is a city-shaping project and the private investment will “supercharge” job creation.

“These direct rail connections will get trucks off roads, increase safety, reduce emissions and cut the cost of doing business for producers, farmers, exporters and operators,” Horne says.

ITC founder and CEO Mishkel Maharaj says the investment in the terminal is a major win for ITC. “ITC is delighted to announce the Somerton Intermodal Terminal as the first independently constructed, maintained and operated terminal in our portfolio,” Maharaj says.

“We’re especially pleased that once operational, the terminal will deliver additional benefits to the people of Melbourne every single day of its operation – through reduced carbon emissions and air pollution, reduced road congestion and improved road safety.”

Dandenong South to the Port of Melbourne, avoiding thousands of truck trips on roads each year.

The Port Rail Shuttle Network will enable trucks to deliver or pick up containers from these hubs in outer metropolitan Melbourne instead of driving to the Port of Melbourne, which is in turn investing $125 million for on-dock rail infrastructure to cater for these shuttle trains.

The Somerton Intermodal Terminal will be built at the Austrak Business Park and is forecast to create 190 jobs during construction and a further 50 permanent jobs for Victorians once the terminal is operational in 2025.

ITC was launched in December 2022 and is backed by one of Australia’s leading super funds, Aware Super, which last year also entered into a joint venture operation with the Victorian government to operate the Registration and Licencing and Custom Plates businesses for VicRoads.

“The Port Rail Shuttle Network will not only enhance the strategic importance of local freight and logistics operators – it will also deliver efficiencies and cost-savings for businesses,” federal transport minister Catherine King says.

Executive appointments The Australian Rail Track Corporation has added Peter Duncan and Collette Burke to their executive ranks

ATRC makes two new appointments

The federal government says Burke is a highly qualified and experienced engineer with more than 25 years’ experience in the infrastructure construction sector.

She was the inaugural Victorian Chief Engineer and has a strong understanding of the rail industry. She also previously held various senior roles with Leighton Contractors and management positions with Thiess John Holland.

The appointments follow the recent

independent review of the Inland Rail project conducted by Dr Kerry Schott.

Schott’s report has been provided to the government. It reveals significant concerns about the governance and delivery of Inland Rail. The government intends to release Schott’s report and the government’s response to its recommendations as soon as it has been fully considered.

The government recognises the importance of the ARTC board having strong leadership and the experience and capability to effectively and responsibly manage the company’s operations, including the Interstate Network and government-funded infrastructure projects.

The federal government says the appointments of Duncan and Dr Burke are an important step in addressing the current capability gaps of the board.

“Duncan brings critical experience in governance and risk management, infrastructure and transport to the ARTC board. His experience will be invaluable in guiding ARTC through the coming years,” federal transport minister Catherine King says.

“Dr Burke’s extensive experience in engineering and infrastructure will strengthen the board’s ability to oversee ARTC’s operations, including its network maintenance regime, efforts to improve network resilience and in construction of new sections of the Interstate Network, including Inland Rail.”

Executive appointments Lindsay Australia is on the hunt for a new CEO with news its current boss will retire in June this year

Lindsay Australia CEO to retire The figurehead of giant Lindsay Australia plans to step away from the company throughout this year Major transport, logistics and freight company Lindsay Australia has announced that CEO and managing director Kim Lindsay will step away from the company as he transitions into retirement.

Lindsay Australia says Lindsay is retiring after first starting with Lindsay Australia in a stint from 1974 until 1983.

Lindsay Australia says that Lindsay’s leadership has been central to the company’s success.

“He has been central to the growth of the business and has given Lindsay

Australia 20 years of uninterrupted and distinguished service as CEO. During his leadership, Lindsay Australia has risen to become one of Australia’s largest transport companies employing more than 1500 employees,” Lindsay Australia says.

“Kim’s time as CEO has also seen Lindsay Australia grow from operating revenue of $144.3 million and EBITDA of $12.3 million in 2003 to revenue of $553 million and EBITDA of $60.1 million in FY2022 and is currently on track for a record year in FY2023 with EBITDA

forecast to be in the range of $68 million to $71 million.”

After Lindsay’s first stint with the company lasting until 1983, he established P&H Rural Supplies (PHRS), where he was able to grow the small local business to a major regional company that laid the foundation for Lindsay’s current rural sector.

Lindsay has since been managing director and CEO of Lindsay Australia since the merger of PHRS and Lindsay Brothers Holdings in December 2002.

Lindsay Australia says Lindsay will finish with Lindsay Australia on June 30, as the company now searches for his replacement.

“There is no question that Kim will leave Lindsay Australia well-positioned to achieve the group’s significant ambition of reaching annual revenue of $1 billion and EBITDA of $100 million whilst driving shareholder returns over the coming three to five years,” Lindsay Australia says.

“The board will consider internal and external candidates in its CEO search and has retained a leading recruitment firm to assist with the process. After an appropriate break, the board will engage with Kim regarding an on-going nonexecutive role with the company.”

WA’s southern ports have a new leader

New CEO for Southern Ports WA has announced who will take over as CEO of Southern Ports Authority in May this year Keith Wilks will take over the top job at Southern Ports from retiring CEO Steve Lewis on May 1 this year.

Western Australian Ports Minister Rita Saffioti Saffioti says Wilks brings a wealth of experience to the role, having spent more than 27 years in the ports and maritime sectors.

He has been the chief operating officer at Southern Ports Authority since

January 2020 and has previously held senior roles at the Port of Newcastle and Svitzer.

Southern Ports include Albany, Bunbury and Esperance ports and had a combined facilitated trade of more than 36 million tonnes in the 2022 financial year.

“I congratulate Keith Wilks on his appointment as CEO of Southern Ports

Authority, he brings valuable operational experience in leading complex port operations and proven strategic and leadership skills to the role,” Saffioti says.

“Wilks’s considerable expertise positions him well to lead Southern Ports Authority during this period of sustained growth, which also includes a record $59 million asset renewal program that will build and create future opportunities for Western Australia.

“Southern Ports Authority has a vital role in gearing our state for trade and investment and I look forward to working closely with Wilks to realise this potential.

“I would also like to thank Steve Lewis for leading Southern Ports Authority for the past four years, particularly his achievements in building the capacity and capability of our ports and the adoption of emerging technologies.”

New faces for Shippit Shippit is increasing its capabilities after two new appointments to its leadership team Australian logistics technology platform Shippit has announced the expansion of its leadership team with the appointments of new chief marketing officers and chief product officers.

Shippit says Brett Chester is its new chief marketing officer while Inga Latham has been hired as the new chief product officer to help the start-up accelerate its future in the retail, logistics and ecommerce space.

Founded by William On and Rob Hango-Zada, Shippit has grown exponentially since its inception in 2014 and the team has almost doubled over the past two years with more than 250 staff across Australia and Singapore.

David Gordon, an experienced retail industry leader, was appointed Chairman of the Board in November

2021 with a mission to help Shippit expand globally, enhance its already industry-leading platform and attract and invest in world-class talent and leadership.

“I first met Will and Rob three years ago and was instantly taken by them and the culture they had built. A welcoming environment and empowering culture is non-negotiable, but the opportunity and timing were difficult to ignore, too. I love this stage of a business; collaboration is high, people are excited and engaged and processes are being reinvented at scale in front of our eyes,” Latham says.

Chester, who arrives at Shippit in the wake of a landmark rebrand, says: “I’m generally satisfied with most website experiences, but I struggle daily with poor delivery experiences. Based on that

personal mission, and my background in retail, and experience growing fast scaling SaaS companies in Silicon Valley, it was a no brainer to join Shippit.

“Shippit is uniquely positioned to help both merchants and carriers realise their aspirations to get packages into consumers hands as efficiently as possible.”

Shippit has experienced exponential growth over the past 12 months.

It completed the acquisition of leading Australian last mile technology firm, Premonition, in February, launched a new brand in March, partnered with Uber to launch on-demand delivery for retailers, raised $50m of capital in May and in October acquired Southeast Asian startup, Luwjistik, to springboard its APAC expansion.

Prological appoints specialists Prological says it’s excited to have two industry experts onboard as senior members Australian supply chain consulting firm Prological has announced that it has strengthened its team with two new key appointments.

John Mills and Chris Hudson have been appointed to key roles at the supply chain group.

Prological says award-winning automation and warehouse design expert Mills joins Prological as senior consultant while Hudson will use his transport and logistics experience as a senior associate.

Mills has more than 30 years worth of experience in warehouse design and process engineering and has been working with Peter Jones on a projectby-project basis since 2004 before joining Prological as a permanent senior consultant.

Hudson has more than a decade’s

experience in supply chain and logistics operations, particularly in the manufacturing sector.

“We’re delighted to strengthen our team by securing some of Australia’s brightest and best talent in the logistics and supply chain space,” Prological founder and managing director Peter Jones says.

“John Mills is an industry heavyweight and one of the best warehouse designers in Australia. Similarly, Chris’s expertise across a broad range of freight types and organisations allows us to provide our clients with the latest innovation and thinking in freight strategies and operations.

“I look forward to working with Chris and John to help Prological’s clients create their unfair advantage.”

Mills says: “I’m delighted to join the Prological team as Senior Consultant.

Having worked with Peter and the wider team at Prological for a number of years, I’ve enjoyed being part of the team and am excited to join the growing organisation in a permanent role.”

“I’m passionate about helping clients navigate the challenges ahead and solve complex problems through innovative warehouse design and automation. With the logistics and supply chain sector facing a challenging year, I look forward to helping clients navigate the complexity ahead.”

Hudson says: “Prological has been going through an exciting period of growth over the past two years and as a result, I’m excited to join the team on a permanent basis. I look forward to helping our clients by delivering innovative freight and supply chain solutions across Australia and New Zealand.”

Rockhampton councillors at the Upper Dawson Rd intersection

Black spot fix for Rockhampton A dangerous intersection in the Queensland town of Rockhampton has been overhauled in the name of safety New turning lanes, kerbs, channels, asphalt and traffic lights have been installed at treacherous Rockhampton intersection as part of the Federal Government’s Black Spot Program.

The works, partly funded by a $676,000 investment by the federal government, were designed to improve traffic flow and boost safety for pedestrians, motorists and operators using the intersection of Upper Dawson Road and Caroline Street in Allenstown.

“This project exemplifies what the federal government’s Black Spot Program is all about – keeping everyone safe on our roads and supporting our local communities,” federal assistant transport minister Carol Brown says.

“We are providing $110 million each year to fund measures to reduce the risk of crashes at dangerous locations. I’m proud this project will help save lives in the Rockhampton community.

“I encourage all state and territory governments, local councils, community groups and associations, road user groups, industry and individual Australians to nominate sites for Black Spot funding.”

Queensland senator Nita Green noted that more than 200 people lost their lives on Queensland’s roads in 2022, and last year’s road toll from January to November was more than 14 per cent higher than the five-year average for the same period.

“By working together to fix black spots, we can reduce the impacts of road trauma on our communities nationwide,” Green says.

Rockhampton Region mayor Tony Williams praised his community for their patience during the upgrade procedure.

“I want to particularly thank the businesses, residents and schools in the area for their patience and understanding whilst these works were undertaken,” Williams says.

“These traffic signals have been a long time coming and will go a long way to making the area a lot safer.”

Wagga Wagga roadworks roll on Council workers have been busy in Wagga Wagga, NSW, rolling out much-needed roadworks on key feeder roads to the city Pavement renewal and road repair have been the focus of works in Wagga Wagga in the past six weeks.

Upgrade works are in progress on Mitchell Road, Copland Street, Old Narrandera Rd, Lloyd Rd and Inglewood Rd as the city works to improve its road network.

Director of Infrastructure Services Warren Faulkner says the works program follows on from the recent renewal and improvement of the pavement on a 2.4-kilometre stretch of Inglewood Road, immediately east of Mitchell Road.

“The process has involved using foamed asphalt, which involves mixing lime and bitumen additives into the pavement with a specialised soil stabilising machine to improve the strength and durability of the existing pavement,” Faulkner says.

“Mitchell Road was one of the routes identified as being in need of repair and renewal in the Wagga Wagga Roads report, tabled at the Ordinary Council meeting in November last year,” Faulkner says.

“It is one of our key distributor roads on the eastern side of the city, which carries a high volume of traffic, including heavy vehicles.

Expect some roadworks related delays around Wagga Wagga in NSW this month

“This project will include widening the road shoulders, stabilising the existing pavement, then overlaying it with a new 150mm thick base course and two-coat sealing of the new base work material.”

Asphalt overlays are also being applied to key intersections at Lawson Street, Hartog Place and Say Street.

The pavement upgrade and sealing of the five-kilometre section of unsealed road on Old Narrandera Road near Council’s boundary with the Narrandera Shire Council is expected to be completed in late March/early April if weather conditions remain favourable.

“The works will improve the vertical geometry of the road through this low section of the road for motorists and importantly will not change the path of stormwater flows,” Faulkner says.

“We’re asking road users in all of these areas to allow extra travel time, drive to the conditions and follow the directions of traffic controllers.”

Rail boost for western NSW Local freight operators are celebrating a major funding announcement to boost rail freight in western NSW The NSW government says it will invest more than $24 million into upgrading 96km of rail line between Gilgandra and Coonamble to help boost freight loads and lower costs.

Regional transport and roads minister Sam Farraway says the funding is part of the NSW government’s $400 million Fixing Country Rail Program.

“The NSW government is investing in the projects that matter to strengthen our supply chain, to keep our economy running and secure a brighter future for our great state,” Farraway says.

“A lot of work had been put into the development of this project and it is great news we are investing in infrastructure that will directly help freight operators and primary producers, such as grain farmers.

“It takes an average of 10 hours to load a freight train. By upgrading our rail network through our Fixing Country Rail Program, we will allow more freight to be transported per trip, reducing delays and allowing

goods and produce to get from farms and factories to our ports and supermarket shelves quicker.”

Farraway says the more efficient NSW can make its supply chain, the less it’ll cost the freight industry, ultimately reducing costs for families at the register.

“The rail line will be upgraded to a 25t axle load, to allow access for heavier trains and increase the total produce that can be transported through the region from the current 84t gross weight limit to 100t per wagon,” Farraway says.

“By upgrading the rail line between Gilgandra and Coonamble, we’re enabling the line to provide the same axle load capability of the Inland Rail alignment that will connect at Curban in the future.

“Big loads and long distances are where our rail network shines. Rail freight is the most cost-effective way to transport large quantities over long distances with one 600m long train carrying the equivalent load of at least 54 trucks.”

Manildra Group’s National

More rail freight for western NSW has been welcomed by local governments

Transport and Logistics Manager Mark Owens says the investment will be a positive boost for farmers, manufacturers and exporters in getting goods to the market more efficiently.

“We have been advocating for this project for some time. We are pleased to hear of the NSW government’s investment as this project will be consistent with alignment and load limit requirements of the Inland Rail,” Owens says.

Gilgandra Shire Mayor Doug Batten says this is a fantastic outcome in ensuring that 25t axle weight grain trains on the Gilgandra - Coonamble line would be capable of joining the Inland Rail line at its intersection at Curban.

“This is one of many Inland Rail initiatives Gilgandra Council has been advocating for since the announcement of the Inland Rail Project,” Batten says.

“The project is a game-changer for Gilgandra in connecting our farmers to the rest of the state and strengthening our local economy.”

Trucking election priorities Road Freight NSW is calling for candidates vying for spots at the State election on March 25 to declare their support for seven key transport policy ideas Road Freight NSW (RFNSW) has announced its list of election priorities that it says will deliver positive outcomes for truckies and all road users before the state heads to the polls on March 25.

RFNSW has identified seven critical issues facing members working across the entire NSW road freight sector, while also recommending what the NSW government must do to ensure a safe and sustainable industry.

The first priority is maintaining and strengthening the Port Botany Landside Improvement Strategy (PBLIS) in its current regulation, with minor improvements to be made to strengthen operations.

RFNSW says the government should be wary that any sale or administration of PBLIS by a third party could undermine productivity gains delivered across the supply chain and the broader economy, with the body wanting it to remain as a fully funded function of Transport for NSW. The second priority centres around port reforms. RFNSW says stevedores’ unfair landside port charges continue to compromise the viability of many NSW truck operators.

“RFNSW is calling on the incoming

NSW government to ensure that terminal access charges and other fixed fees or surcharges for delivering or collecting containers are regulated so that they can only be charged to shipping lines and not transport operators,” RFNSW says.

The next area RFNSW wants prioritised is pallets, as the group says the current pallet hire system hurts the state’s economy.

RFNSW says truck operators continue to deal with complicated and unfair contract arrangements from pallet companies for the use of pallets, with the body recommending the government consult the federal government about this inequity and call for a review to be launched.

Road repairs and safety remains another key pillar for the NSW industry.

RFNSW says the incoming government needs to invest in a new community road safety education campaign while collaborating to strengthen commitments around delivering an infrastructure pipeline that includes truck rest areas, bridge upgrades and rural and regional freight route upgrades.

When it comes to tolling, RFNSW says the government must consider a range of tolling options for heavy

Road Freighters New South Wales have called for more support for the transport industry

vehicles rather than using the current toll rebate scheme.

“Next, the lack of rest areas in the Sydney metropolitan area is of significant concern for operators in this state,” RFNSW says.

“RFNSW recommends that the incoming government convene a summit to examine the lack of rest areas in the area.”

The group’s final priority centres around skills and education, as RFNSW wants to see a review of the role of TAFE to help fix the skilled worker shortage.

“Our election priorities are informed by the day-to-day experiences of hard-working truck operators – they’re the critical issues which continue to impact the NSW freight industry,” RFNSW CEO Simon O’Hara says.

“Ahead of the March election, RFNSW is calling on all political candidates to listen to the concerns of truck operators and commit to actions which ensure better safety and economic outcomes not only for truckies, but the wider NSW community.

“As the COVID pandemic has shown, without trucks Australia stops – the new government will need to improve its support of the freight industry.”

The National Transport Research Organisation will tackle the future of transport at its conference in October

Tech conference set for October The latest innovations and research in road, rail, ports and airports will be on show at the National Transport Research Organisation conference in Melbourne in October The NTRO International Technical Conference will introduce and showcase the latest and greatest from around the world to businesses in Australia and New Zealand.

The three-day event will be held at the NTRO’s home in Port Melbourne from October 25 to 27 this year.

The NTRO says industry-leading experts and speakers will be present at the event, which it says will lead the way in the transport future.

Early-bird discount rates are currently available for the event, with registration now open.

In the meantime, the NTRO is also calling for submissions of abstracts of potential papers for consideration to be included as a 20-minute presentation in the conference program.

The overarching theme of the conference is transport – beyond certainty, a theme that the NTRO says looks at approaching challenges across the transport sector in the face of future uncertainties.

Empty containers boost Port The Port of Newcastle is expecting a major boost to operations after adding an Empty Container Park to its footprint The Port of Newcastle is set to continue growing its operations as its new Empty Container Park now forms part of the Multipurpose Terminal’s services at the Mayfield 4 Berth.

The Empty Container Park complements Port of Newcastle’s Multipurpose Terminal container capability and growth, with Empty Container Park storage ideally located adjacent to the Multipurpose Terminal minimising additional landside movements.

Port of Newcastle CEO Craig Carmody says in the financial year ending June 30, 2022, more than 60 per cent of NSW container export were empty containers.

“Empty container management is a vital function for efficient container trade operations,” Carmody says.

“Empty container parks aid in managing the imbalance between imports and exports that exists within Australian container operations by assisting container flow.”

Beneficiaries of the Empty Container Park will be agri-businesses throughout the Hunter, New England and NorthWest, who historically have found it challenging to access empty containers to package produce for export.

Port of Newcastle senior manager of business development Kate

A empty container park is set to boost services at Newcastle Port

McArthur says in the future, access to a ready supply of empty containers will allow farmers to export more.

“Having access to empty containers aids speed to market, which allows exporters to take advantage of opportunities and capitalise on good prices. We are hopeful by working with farmers, business owners and other key stakeholders we can continue to develop infrastructure to better serve the needs of our future customers,” McArthur says.

“A challenge for agri-businesses, particularly in the past few seasons, has been accessing empty containers to fill and send back to port.

“With growth of our operations and capabilities, we aim, over time, to fill this gap in the market and ensure our farmers and agri-businesses have every opportunity to take full advantage of large harvest seasons and export their product effectively and efficiently.”

Back-of-berth hardstand expansion works are currently underway at the Multipurpose Terminal, with waterside works to begin later in the year to accommodate larger vessels.

Once complete, the Multipurpose Terminal will be able to accommodate 85 per cent of container vessels that arrive in Australia.

News A seven-day search of a vast outback highway managed to find a tiny radioactive capsule, smaller than a 10 cent piece

Hunting radioactive treasure Did you hear the one about the radioactive capsule that fell off the back of a truck in outback Australia?

Life got pretty exciting way out west at the end of January this year when a tiny piece of mining equipment containing radioactive materials dropped off the back of a truck on a 1200km stretch of the Great Northern Highway.

The equipment and the material belonged to mining giant Rio Tinto.

It’s missing status was made known to the public on January 25, starting a seven-day search involving everyone from the emergency services to the army.

The tiny capsule, just 8mm high by 6mm wide, was said to be radioactive to touch, prompting fears it could contaminate the area where it fell and injure any person or animal who picked it up.

It contained Caesium-137, which can be used for measuring thickness of metals, liquid flows and also to treat some cancers.

The search operation, led by the WA Department of Fire and Emergency Services, spanned 1,400 kilometres from the outback to metropolitan Perth.

On the seventh day, a vehicle search crew using specialised radiation equipment, detected the capsule two metresoff the side of the Great Northern Highway near Newman.

The capsule was safely recovered and securely transported in a lead

container to Newman before being taken to a health facility in Perth.

Fire and Emergency Services Commissioner Darren Klemm AFSM commended the extraordinary efforts of all agencies and personnel involved in the operation.

“We have essentially found the needle in the haystack,” Klemm said.

“When you consider the challenge of finding an object smaller than a 10-cent coin along a 1400-kilometre stretch of Great Northern Highway, it is a tremendous result.

“I want to thank everyone involved in the search - we called on a large number of agencies to assist and this was a great example of working together to achieve an outstanding result.”

Western Australia’s chief health officer and chair of the Radiological Council Dr Andrew Robertson says the chances of anyone being contaminated by the source were extremely remote.

“As I have mentioned previously, to be at risk of radiation exposure you need to be close to the source for a period of time,” Robertson says.

“If you were one metre away from the source for one hour, that would be the equivalent of receiving the radiation dose of 10 X-rays.

“This is a great result for the community of Western Australia.”

Mining company Rio Tinto

expressed its gratitude for the services coordinating the successful search after the capsule was lost in transit from the company’s GudaiDarri iron ore mine in the Pilbara.

Rio Tinto also thanked the specialist search crews from the Australian Defence Force, the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency and the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation, as well as all other support agencies, for their crucial role in the search and recovery efforts.

The device that went missing was an industrial gauge which is commonly used in the mining industry to measure iron ore feed in the crushing circuit of the fixed plant.

The capsule is small (6mm diameter, 8mm long), round and stainless steel and forms part of a level sensor (gauge) that is used in some fixed plant assets.

The gauge, packed by a specialist radioactive materials handler, was collected by a transport contractor from the Gudai-Darri mine site on January 12.

Rio Tinto Iron Ore Chief Executive Simon Trott says: “We are incredibly grateful for the hard work of everyone involved in finding the missing capsule.

“While the recovery of the capsule is a great testament to the skill and tenacity of the search team, the fact is it should never have been lost in the first place. I’d like to apologise to the wider community of Western Australia for the concern it has generated.

“We are taking this incident very seriously and are undertaking a full and thorough investigation into how it happened.

“As part of our investigation, we will be assessing whether our processes and protocols, including the use of specialist contractors to package and transport radioactive materials, are appropriate.”

Feature Australian Truck Radio listeners chose Slim Dusty’s Lights on the Hill as the No.1 song in the recent Top 500 countdown. The Aussie legends’ Star Trucker took out No. 4 too, with Jimmy Barnes’ Driving Wheels at No.2, ACDC’s Highway to Hell at No.3 and Midnight Oil’s Beds are Burning at No.5.

Truck radio rolls on Life is rocking and rolling in the busy world of Australian Truck Radio as the new digital station continues to grow its fan base across the nation Six months after its official launch, Australian Truck Radio is continuing to evolve in line with its motto of “we listen to you, so you’ll listen to us”.

Founder and broadcaster Simon Smith says the station’s playlist is constantly updated in response to listener feedback and the station has also boosted its traffic reporting via a partnership with the Australian Traffic Network to provide regular national road reports.

“They provide reports for every State and Territory, seven days a week,” Smith says.

He says another welcome addition for the station is a partnership with trucking charity Healthy Heads in Trucks and Sheds (www. healthyheads.org) who will regularly share tips and hints on the radio to help drivers stay safe and healthy on the road.

Smith, who ran the Big Rig Road Show for 12 years before launching Australian Truck Radio, says it’s been

exciting to see downloads of the station’s App increase as the word spreads about the only nationally dedicated 24 hour, seven-day-a-week, digital station targeted directly at truck drivers.

He says the ability for listeners to lock on to the station and keep listening regardless of which borders they crossed was proving to be a big positive for drivers who were otherwise forced to constantly scan the airwaves to find a station they liked in the area they were driving through.

Fresh off the back of a successful Top 500 countdown over the Australia Day long weekend, Smith says the station is now busy planning a musical feature for the upcoming Easter break and is also working on something special for the upcoming Brisbane Truck Show in May. The station’s regular guest list is growing too with Transport Women Australia Ltd chairwoman

Jacquelene Brotherton and NatRoads CEO Warren Clark among the industry experts joining the conversation and sharing their take on the state of the trucking industry.

On a personal level, Brotherton has recently joined Australian Truck Radio team as Public Relations Manager, bringing with her a passion for all things trucking fuelled by her own transport industry career of more than 40 years.

For Smith, the radio journey is only just beginning. “We are all about supporting the trucking industry, the companies that work with it and the people who move the nation daily.”

He says it’s well known in the industry that radio is not a glass house and that at the end of the day delivering what the listener wants is the key to success.

Smith says feedback, whether it’s ideas for shows, song requests, shout outs, or dislikes, are always welcome via text on 0401 912 255 or by going online to www.australiantruckradio.com.au * Australian Truck Radio is backed by Prime Creative Media, who is also the publisher of Deals on Wheels

Showcase HRS Trailers draws on more than 40 years of experience in building tippers of all shapes and sizes

Growing a diverse future Penrith-based manufacturing specialist HRS Trailers has landed in Australia, determined to offer the best quality trailers at the best price For more than 40 years HRS Trailers has toiled away in South Korea mastering the art of building tipper trailers.

The business, built to serve a tough construction environment, expanded into Australia in 2019, keen to tackle the challenge of new environmental extremes and demand for a wider variety of trailer styles.

HRS Trailers CEO Eugene Cho says the company has been patiently building its volumes in the past three years.

“Coming to Australia, we had a plan to establish ourselves in a new place,” Eugene says.

“The first plan we set up was to catch two rabbits at once: A Good Quality and A Good Price.

“In other words, even if the sales scale was small, we tried to grow by making high quality trailers, one-by-one.

“After a few months, sales volume increased steadily from

the beginning of the business in Australia, and in the year 2019, we manufactured around two trailers or truck bodies a week.”

More than just a builder of trailers,

HRS Trailers also produces and develops specific parts such as a its own hydraulic hoist.

“Because of our developed and owned technologies that have

been passed down from Korea, the company is also able to optimise and produce stronger and more durable products at a lower cost,” Cho says.

“I think these heritages are one of driving forces of the company’s growth in Australia.”

HRS Trailers’ draftsman Bong Kyu Chong says the business is also able to be flexible in meeting customer needs. For newly launched products, HRS Trailers can design and test the products in Australia, but then partially manufacture in South Korea to reduce the development and production time.

Having the link to South Korea has also been valuable when it comes to sourcing skilled and experienced workers, either to help in Australia, or to carry out the work in South Korea.

“Many companies have found it difficult to find new skilled workers due to this pandemic.

“If the production takes too much time, or there is technical difficulty, our South Korea branch produces the main sections and ships them to

Australia,” Bong says.

He says this system had allowed HRS Trailers to maintain its lead time on trailer production, even during the pandemic.

“We have a lot of experience in Australia, and we believe that we have become a company trusted by customers by maintaining a certain level of quality and lead time through interactions with companies located in Korea.”

HRS produces a range of products including aluminium truck bodies and other various bodies and frames made of steel as well.

“We use plates with QT450 Grade, also known as HARDOX, to create the body parts,” Bong says.

“HARDOX is known as an abrasionresistant steel and is the most critical part in creating trailers that are sturdy and durable for a long time.

“Due to the use of wide range of materials, our products are suitable

for carrying various materials such as excavation, demolition, and grain.

“Moreover, our company can produce a wide range of truck bodies and trailers for different purposes due to the diverse materials we use.”

The company continues to evolve and innovate with its CEO saying a big focus of recent years has been to reduce the weight of bodies and trailers to achieve fuel efficiency and cost savings, without losing strength.

“We are researching designs that are sturdier, more durable, and much lighter, with the goal of successfully launching products that perform much better in terms of price and quality in the future,” Eugene says.

“Our goal is to become a company that grows even more and produces more diverse trailers.

“We aim to become the best company in Australia with the best price and quality.” visit www.hrstrailers.com.au

Truck driver safety still an issue While technology has helped reduce some of the safety risks truck drivers face as part of their job, a recent report indicates the number of serious truck crashes remains high.

Gallagher insurance’s Roz Shaw has dug deep into a recent report from the National Transport Insurance Group to see what it means for the industry Safety measures have proved effective in reducing serious truck crashes in Australia but statistics for some factors continue to cause concern, according to a recent report from National Transport Insurance group (NTI).

The National Truck Accident Research Centre (NTARC) 2022 report compares annual data going back to 2005 and reflects changes in the causes of incidents involving trucks in current data.

Overall, the proportionate

frequency of crashes is reducing, despite increases in freight movements and traffic volumes.

Since 2003, there has been a 55 per cent increase in trucks on the road and a 51 per cent increase in freight volumes. Against this growing freight transport activity there has been a reported decline in all heavy truck-involved road crash deaths over the almost 20-year period.

However, these statistics refer to fatalities in other vehicles impacted by freight transporter incidents, and

Despite truck safety advances, on average, 35 truck drivers have died on the road every year for the last decade

truck occupant crash deaths have remained largely static at about 35 a year for the last decade.

Drilling down into the detail underlying these figures reveals greater complexity in both positive and negative outcomes. Some of the factors involved in truck occupant death incidents include single

vehicle incidents versus truck and car collisions, type of vehicle, location: urban or rural settings and time of day.

Heavy vehicle safety measures that have proved effective Industry investment in improvements to safety functions including seatbelts, front under-run protection systems (FUPS) and anti-lock braking systems (ABS) technology, combined with advances such as in-cab monitoring have contributed to stabilisation and reduction in serious crash and fatality incidents.

Increasingly features like electronic stability controls, electronic braking systems and collision and lanedeparture warning systems are now standard on most makes and models, and have the potential to drive further gains.

The introduction of driving hours reforms and standardised log logbooks in most states and

territories in 2008 had an immediate impact: figures for fatigue-related incidents dropped from an all-time high of 27.3 per cent to 8.2 per cent in

the latest report.

The data shows that the biggest improvement over the past 20 years has been in the reduction in major incidents where fatigue and inappropriate speed for the prevailing conditions were found to be the dominant causes. Back in 2005 these were responsible for more than one in two serious truck crashes – a statistic that has declined by over 50 per cent.

Fatigue is still responsible for more than a quarter of serious incidents in remote areas, and the largest proportion of crashes in all areas occur between midnight and 6am.

The introduction of chain of responsibility legislation from 2014 placed a legal obligation on all parties in the transport consignment chain to take all reasonable steps to ensure Rigid trucks operating in urban areas represent an increased number of insurance losses in terms of frequency rather than severity

Driver distraction, especially mobile phone use, has been noted as a growing contributor to truck crashes

drivers do not commit a speeding offence and, indirectly, drive while fatigued.

Inappropriate speed doesn’t refer to exceeding legal limits as much as to driving too fast for the conditions.

Since most speed-related incidents result in vehicle rollovers it remains a leading cause of driver fatalities.

Interestingly a high proportion of inappropriate speeding incidents occur in 60-80kph zones, with factors like following distance playing a key role. The uptake of electronic stability control which can be applied to advanced driver assistance systems may facilitate future improvements.

New problem areas contributing to heavy vehicle safety incidents In sharp contrast to the long-term reduction in incidents caused by fatigue and inappropriate speed, the NTARC data exposes a dramatic increase in major accidents caused

by human factors, most significantly distraction and inattention resulting in inappropriate positioning of the vehicle.

These underlying causes are now responsible for almost one in six accidents and may be at least partly attributable to mobile phone use.

Devices linked to in-cab displays may also be a source of distraction.

Another factor is the vehicle type.

Rigid trucks, which predominantly operate locally in urban and surrounding areas with more traffic and vehicles than long haul truck routes, also represent an increased number of insurance losses in terms of frequency rather than severity.

Tippers are another class of vehicle involved in losses, including rollovers, with articulated combinations representing over half of rolling while tipping incidents. This may be due to low barriers to entry

for drivers and lack of regulation applying in the areas where they operate.

Safety takeaways for road freight transport operators These NTARC findings indicate that risk management considerations for transport operators might include: • technology used in the vehicle including safety functions, whether these demand interaction by the driver (sometimes the case with retrofitted devices) • vehicle type and where it is driven: urban areas and surrounds, long haul routes, rural or remote settings • mobile phone use protocols or monitoring • ensuring chain of responsibility compliance at each journey stage • business policy in respect to work hours and rest stops.

W Clint Whitaker with all his hard workers. The dogs, the horse and his Kenworth

elcome to ‘Marble II’ – A stunning Kenworth T410 SAR. Arguably one of the coolest T410s on the road, this exquisite piece of equipment is 50 years in the making. Born of hard work and dedication, it is a well-earned piece of luxury and a well-deserved reward.

It is also more than just a pretty face.

It is a hard-working practical piece of equipment that is making life a hell of a lot easier for a small family business. And on top of all that, it has come out of nowhere – allow me to explain.

The cool thing about this truck and the story is that it isn’t really a trucking story.

Yes, it includes a truck, and yes, it is an epic truck. However, the folks involved in its conception aren’t full-on truck people. Don’t get me wrong, they aren’t strangers to trucks either but when you see a truck as grand as the Whitaker’s T410 you kind of assume that driving and building cool looking trucks is in their DNA. Well, it’s not.

Care to take a guess what the Whitakers were traveling around in before they put this Kenworth on the road? A 1981 Isuzu SCR. Yes, you read that right. From a 40-year-old Isuzu into a state-of-the-art, Australian-

built masterpiece. Now you are starting to understand what makes this truck and story just a little bit different.

Clint and Robyn Whitaker are the couple behind this impressive rig and the couple behind Whitaker Beef and Whitaker Brahman Stud. Their passion is in breeding very fancy ‘moo moo’ cows. I’m not talking about the kind of thing you’ll see for $35 a kilo at Coles. I am talking about prizewinning Brahman, Charbray and Charolais bulls. The kind of quality cattle that people pay thousands for in order to enhance their own breeding stock.

For over 20 years now this family-run operation has been growing a name for itself on the back of some good-looking cattle. I’d love to quote you all the awards and prizes they have won from showing their bulls at different events, but it would probably go right over your head as it did with me. Suffice it to say they are very good at what they do.

Up until late last year, their emphasis has solely been on growing the herd, so to speak, and building their reputation and putting their resources into a quality product.

Transportation of themselves and their stock had never been a major factor in their

104

New DEALS

business. When Clint and Robyn first started their venture back in the early 2000s, they would transport their stock to shows using their farm ute and a gooseneck trailer. If they needed to move any of their stock to sales or between properties, they just utilised local cattle carters. It wasn’t until Beef Week 2009 in Rockhampton that the couple gave some serious thought to the transport side of their growing business.

“We used to go to all the shows in our gooseneck,” Robyn tells me. “We’d have to carefully pick our team ’cause we could only fit a few on. Then we decided at Beef 09 to buy a truck.”

Moving from the gooseneck to a small rigid truck would allow the couple to almost double the amount of cattle they could include in their show team.

Clint was left in charge of sourcing out Whitaker Beef’s first official stock truck as he was the one with trucking in his heritage.

Clint’s younger years had been spent around trucks; both his father and his grandfather were involved in trucking. He can still recall the memories of his grandfather’s truck.

“Admittedly it was about the same size as our ute,” Clint laughs. “It would fit one log on it and it would be done.

Clint’s father and his uncles also used to run trucks. “I remember the old petrol Perkins that used to take 23 hours to get from Eidsvold to Brisbane and back home,” he says. “There was one hill that Dad would get the local farmer to tow him over; he even got towed over it by a motorbike once.”

That same old Perkins would arrive in Brisbane around the same time everyone was crammed onto trams heading for work.

The trams were loaded with dolled-up workers and the Perkins was loaded up with cattle and excrement. Those two didn’t mix well whenever Clint’s dad would have to brake suddenly.

Back in those days Clint was like every good kid. School days were spent drawing pictures of trucks and then skipping homework to help dad in the truck and filling his weekends and holidays off-siding or cleaning trucks.

His dad ran several different truck manufacturers after the Perkins, the one that

Clint was drawn to though was a Cumminspowered International. It was a much more comfortable seat for young Clint to spend his extracurricular hours and a great truck for him to learn to drive. It also solidified Clint’s transport addiction.

However, by the time Clint was old enough to get his licence, his dad was out of the transport game. He still had the old International and had it converted it from a single drive semi into a camp draft set-up body truck for property work. Freshly licensed Clint spent a fair bit of time using the International to move stock around the family property, but instead of moving

forward with his love of trucks he followed the livestock path instead.

“What happened with me was I went to Gatton College and became a stock inspector,” Clint says. “Basically tick line clearance, any form of market access.”

Working with livestock created a passion for that lifestyle, but the love of trucks was always just sitting below the surface. “Here I was, all these years, taking the cattle off the trucks and dipping the cattle but to a certain extent I would much rather have been driving the truck,” he smiles.

Next thing you know Clint is all over Queensland as a stock inspector and trucking became a distant memory. His spare time, along with that of his wife Robyn, was spent laying the groundwork for the company that would eventually become Whitaker Beef.

Isuzu power As Whitakers Beef started to grow and build a reputation in the breeding arena, Clint found it was taking up more and more of their time.

They were required to show their cattle at more events and they also started running more cattle on their properties. This meant

106

DOW 490-102 Whitakers Kenny T410.indd 106

New DEALS

the addition of a gooseneck trailer to tow behind the ute. But they soon outgrew their gooseneck setup and the four to five cattle it could move.

Bring on Beef Week 2009 and Robyn’s call to look into getting a dedicated stock truck for the company. This was the catalyst for the re-emergence of Clint’s passion for trucks. His childhood love of all things diesel had been reignited. He would take those fond memories of time spent in the mighty International and get himself his own mighty machine. That mighty machine, the workhorse of Whitaker Beef would be … a single drive Isuzu! A 1981 single drive Isuzu at that, making it a 28-year-old second-hand truck. It didn’t exactly fulfill Clint’s childhood big rig dreams, but practicality had to beat flamboyance at that stage.

“It was an old truck that had always been around the area and the bloke that owned it said to take it to Beef Week and ‘if you like it, take it’,” Clint recalls. Robyn adds that they were all as keen as mustard, they loaded up about nine head of cattle in their team, she jumped in the passenger side, and off they went to Rocky.

“We barely made it out of town and the front wheel was making all kinds of noises, the whole thing just wanted to run,” Clint laughs. “We had a mate that ran a ‘one day

garage’ in Thangool. One day you drop your truck off and one day you’ll pick it up. So we called it to get him to check it out and found a whole bunch of broken stuff on the front end. Nothing bad, just didn’t sound good.”

It was able to get the Whitakers to Beef Week though and they left it at a local workshop to get it fixed up for the return trip.

The show lasted all week and the truck took that long just to straighten out the front end.

Seven days later the Whitakers returned.

Robyn recalls that trip fondly.

“Yeah, we picked it up, it was all fixed. We loaded the team back in and headed for home. We didn’t even make the roundabout on the way out. There was no way I was traveling in that, I’d have a heart attack, I would die.” It was not the joyous trucking experience that Robyn had envisaged.

“We ran it from 09 until 2021 and I drove in it twice,” Robyn laughs. “One other time I got the guts to drive in it, we went and picked up some cattle and were driving back and I started saying to Clint, ‘what’s that smell, that burning smell, quick pull up we need to get these cows off before we burn them’.”

It turns out in that instance someone had put too big a fuse in and it was starting to melt behind the dash. There are plenty more stories that make you wonder how the old Isuzu lasted, from Clint’s dad blowing the

motor up and just leaving it on the side of the road. To the fact that in the rain you had to sit sideways on the driver’s seat because the rain would come in from the side window.

It was a cacophony of catastrophes, yet at the same time it did exactly what it was supposed to. It helped the Whitakers get their prize-winning cattle to many a show and made moving stock between properties a lot more manageable.

“It’s still a good truck,” Robyn says.

“Mechanically the new motor is solid, it’s just the rust in the cab and stuff for the roadworthy that’s a bit iffy.”

That’s why, come 2021 the Whitakers

started looking at getting a replacement. “I was always looking to extend a prime mover and put a crate on it,” Clint says.

Party up front Even though he had long expressed the desire to have a cool bonneted truck, he had already written the likes of a new Kenworth off. The assumption being that it would be well outside his price range.

“We looked at a couple of second-hand ones and checked out a few options. By the time you extend them, you’re three parts of the way to a new truck.”

As much as Clint’s trucking fanaticism had him pining for a big, bonneted truck, common sense and affordability had the family looking closer at a very similar, yet more modern replacement to the old Isuzu.

“I sent Robyn and Sam off to Toowoomba to look at and drive a couple of the Japanese replacement options,” Clint says.

“After test driving a couple Robyn made it clear she wasn’t spending a thousand kilometres in those and packed up to come home.”

They called into Brown and Hurley in Toowoomba on the way and one of the parts people gave them a brochure for the T410. More out of curiosity than anything, Clint and Robyn followed up with salesman Angus Short and, to their surprise, found that a custom-built T410 SAR with a brand-new crate was actually a feasible option.

Although Clint was still a little sceptical, Robyn pointed out that Clint had always

108

wanted to have a cool classy, bonneted truck.

It would be a truck that would make their lives a lot easier and if they could take an old Isuzu from its 28th birthday through until its 40th, then a brand-new Kenworth would still be working when the kids were running the show.

Clint still remembers that call to Angus to discuss exactly what he wanted. “I’ve driven this old truck for long enough mate, all I want is when I drive out of Mundubbera, I don’t want to see that hill,” he says, referring to the long pull out of his hometown. It’s a hill that,

in the Isuzu, would allow Clint enough time to make a couple of sandwiches and boil the jug for a coffee.

But Angus assured him, a new T410 with a 510hp Paccar motor and 18-speed gearbox, he would not have time to finish a biscuit yet alone make a sandwich on the Mundubbera hill. With that, the truck was ordered.

The next step was to design the truck and crate for the back.

allow the Whitakers to load all manner of animals safely and easily.

The whole crate system right down to the dog boxes on the side has its own light system so work can be done whenever needed. There’s an extremely handy hay tray that sits on top of the crate and allows the Whitakers to bring their own feed on the longer runs.

Another lesson learned from those hardlaboured Isuzu days was storage. “No way did I want to be loading gazebos and stuff on top of the truck again,” Robyn laughs. “So we got an extra-long locker box down the driver’s side for all the tents and stuff like that.”

There are four separate dog boxes down the passenger side that allows Clint to take up to eight dogs when needed.

With the practical side sussed out, the next job was more about cosmetics and luxuries. “Robyn had two very specific stipulations,” Clint says. “One, it has to be maroon. If you notice, everything else around here is maroon, so the truck needs to be maroon. And two, it needs to have an air-ride seat on the passenger side.” Done and done, though the first wasn’t as easy as expected.

‘If we didn’t chase one truck we chased them all,” laughs Clint as he recalls them scouting out any maroon-looking truck. The couple spent months finding the perfect maroon and eventually stole the colour code off their good friend Robbie Mills

when they saw one of his maroon-coloured MFT Kenworths.

The trimmings The next challenge was the overall look of the truck. Round tanks versus square, wrapped or painted, polished bull bar or chromed – there were so many options. Thankfully for Clint, he had friends like Daltrans Bulk Haulage owner Dallas Kropp. That man has plenty of experience making trucks look cool and had no hesitation assisting Clint.

“I still remember Angus coming out to us just before the end with a brochure for all the extras available on a T410,” Robyn says, as she addresses the cosmetic side of the

Being able to cart his own horses around as well as having room to keep the cattle separated makes it all worth it

Why is it called Marble II, Robyn? “Well, the tractor is called Marble I and this is called Marble II ’cause after those two this is as close to my marble kitchen top as I am ever going to get.”

truck “I just handed it back to him and said, ‘you show me in there what we don’t have already’.” That pretty much sums it up.

This is a one-time truck for the Whitakers and they have deservedly gone all out on it. It was a truck built to work and just by chance has turned in to an absolute jawdropper. “I remember when we picked it up and were heading home there were people grabbing photos all the way,” Robyn recalls.

“We could actually follow our progress through Facebook as we were spotted in all the little towns.”

After years of flying below the radar in their 40-year-old Isuzu, it is a whole new experience for the couple. I can actually say ‘couple’ now as well, for while most of the Isuzu experience was bestowed upon Clint

as he travelled solo, Robyn has found the passenger seat of the T410 a lot more to her liking.

“I went twice in the Isuzu in about 10 years, and I haven’t been out of the Kenworth yet,” she laughs. Heck, Robyn is even driving the 410 as well.

Time to wrap up. All this talk of cattle has me yearning for a steak now. But seriously, like I said at the start, this isn’t your standard truck story. It’s the story of a farming couple and the rewards they have earned. It is the story of a stockman that grew up drawing trucks and dreaming of the open road who finally gets to bring to life his dream truck.

It is the story of an extremely cool Kenworth T410 SAR.

oohoo, 2023 is underway and I have kicked off my truck show calendar with my first ever visit to the Koroit Truck Show. The Koroit event was one of those truck shows I had heard good things about before and had always wanted to check out. I had made valiant attempts to get to it before it was added to the ‘fun things you can’t do because of COVID’ list. But when I realised the show would be returning in 2023, I was straight onto my editor imploring him to let me go.

One of my favourites from the show was Collins Transport’s stunning 1988 Western Star Cheyenne XL Classic, cleaned up beautifully by driver Glen Miller

Whether it was his reluctance to see a grown man cry or just the fact he was too busy to argue with me I was granted permission to travel to southwest Victoria on January 28, drown myself in Koroit country hospitality, and finally tick this cool country show off my to-do list.

For those wondering, Koroit is a tiny town about 300km west of Melbourne. It sits just off the stunningly picturesque Princes Highway and right next door to the difficult to spell Warrnambool. Koroit village dates way back to the days before TikTok, selfies, or even electricity.

The township sits at the doorstep of a longdormant volcano known now as Tower Hill.

The area is littered with historic buildings and landmarks reflecting its agricultural past.

All in all, it is a tiny little town in the middle of nowhere with almost more pubs than people, yet every year manages to put on a huge truck show that brings in truckies from far and wide. My question was how?

The answer came courtesy of Graeme Morris and Richard Allen, two of the Koroit Truck Show committee members that were

local guys who showed up at the last minute,” he recalls. “There was no judging or prizes or anything, just a show-up and show off.”

The success of the Koroit Show relies heavily on volunteers, including Robert Buckley who was helping out with parking directions

Local company Logan Contracting took out the Best Fleet award with its stunning Kenworth collection

happy to spare some time and fill me in on the history of the show.

“Our first kind of show was back in 2007,” Graeme says. “I was part of the Koroit Agricultural Society and every year we had our show.

“In 2007 it was the height of the horse influenza and two weeks before the show we found out that we weren’t allowed to transport horses around.”

Instead of letting a small thing like no horses ruin a horse show, Graeme raised the idea of replacing horses with horsepower. “That first year I think we had maybe 20 trucks, it was just a show and shine. It was mainly just the

Going it alone When 2008 rolled around, the horses were back but Graeme and the committee found several of the previous years’ truckies were asking if they were still going to do a truck show again. Just like that the Koroit Truck Show was established.

For the first couple of years, the show ran in conjunction with the Koroit Agricultural Show. However, by around 2010 it was getting a little too difficult to accommodate both.

“There were more and more trucks and the horses and stuff already took up so much room. So the decision was made to create a standalone event,” Graeme explains. Moving to a standalone event would allow the show to expand and then expand.

Although the actual truck show committee numbers only five, there is massive support from the entire township via the likes of the Koroit Irish Festival, Koroit Football Club

Andrew Derham took the Rig of the Show award with the outstanding restored Mack Valueliner

and Koroit Lions Club. It’s that community participation that resonates with local operator and committee member Richard Allen.

“What I really like about it is the village of Koroit and everyone that gets into it,” Richard says. “We also give all money raised to a local charity, this year we are giving to Foodshare.

It’s a local distribution place that gives food to the needy.”

Richard then pivoted into his transport manager hat as he explained the other part of the day that he loves.

“It’s a good opportunity to showcase transport and the industry in the district.”

The rural feel of the show is definitely one of the key ingredients in its continued success

and popularity. From the last-minute show of 2007 where around 20 trucks turned up to this year’s return to the truck show scene and in excess of 100 entrants, it is a show that just keeps growing.

It also doesn’t hurt that the prizegiving is like rolling into Santa’s shed with an A-double and rolling out heavy on every axle.

“We are extremely lucky with our sponsors, we are very lucky with sponsors,” Graeme adds. “This year, without exaggerating, we've probably given out over $40,000 in prizes.”

I do suggest they borrow some shopping trolleys for the winners for next year. There weren’t enough hands to cart everything away with all the prizes on offer.

“Where are we going to put all of these?”

Family fun While I have been rabbiting on about all the cool truck show stuff, we can’t neglect all the other activities going on during throughout the day. “It’s not only just trucks,” Graeme continues. “We have the car show, motorbikes, lots of kids’ entertainments … we try and think of something different every year.

This year we have the Victorian woodchop championships.”

In the centre of the showgrounds the exceptionally brave motocross team from Factory FMX put on several shows throughout the day. Although the unpredictable winds made it difficult, they still put on a gravity-defying display.

There was also a wheel stand bike for those game enough to test out their skill. I was not one of those. There are food trucks on hand and more than enough sweet treats on offer, along with trade stands catering for everything from polishes and tyre paint to T-shirts and truck art. And of course there was a well-stocked and well-frequented bar with all the right stuff on hand.

There was also an abundance of interactive activities available. Most were there to ensure a method of extracting energy from all the children but there were a couple of specific events designed to engage the adults as well.

First and foremost was the traditional Koroit Truck Show’s tug of war. This wasn’t just a handful of tough guys and a rope. We are talking full-scale professional tug-of-war apparatus, and teams very keen on taking out the title of ‘biggest tuggers’. It’s an extremely popular event and it got very serious very quickly. Let’s be honest, we all like to think what great tuggers we are and here at Koroit there is an official platform to solidify that claim.

In the end, it was the reigning champs, Wilsons Warriors that reclaimed their title and quite convincingly took the bragging rights to the title of Koroit’s best tuggers.

Alongside that feat of strength was the traditional Koroit trucker’s marathon.

Although not technically a marathon, the fifty-metre dash falls short by a little under forty-two kilometres.

It was still a titanic battle.

With plenty of top-class trucks on display, a pizza van that made the best calzone I have had in ages, Carlton Cold and Dry, and the support of hundreds of friendly locals, I can say the Koroit Truck Show lived up to expectations.

Big congratulations to all those involved, and I look forward to seeing you all again next year.

t was almost certainly the most lavish new model launch ever held by Paccar Australia. And fair enough! After all, K220 may be more evolution than revolution, building on the platform carved by its prodigiously popular K200 predecessor, but it nonetheless introduces levels of technology and digitisation which take Kenworth’s evergreen cab-over into a new and arguably overdue sphere of sophistication.

K220 starts a new page in the history of an

enduring icon of the Australian truck industry

And sure enough, we were keen as fleas in a foxhole to climb aboard for a long run. First, however, it’s worth recalling the factors and features which make this latest rendition so decidedly different and overall, so markedly more modern.

K220 is, as Kenworth bills it, ‘The Next Level’. Certainly not the highest level in the business, but definitely the next level in the continuing saga of a truck model which for more than 50 years has been at the core of Kenworth’s business.

Simply stated, K220 starts a new page in the history of an enduring icon of the Australian truck industry.

There are, of course, many reasons why Kenworth’s cab-over has stayed so strong for so long. Obviously, there’s the aspirational aspect of the brand with many drivers and buyers, but there’s more to it than that. Much more!

Even so, K-series has definitely had its issues. Big time - with a long list of earlier models making the driver’s existence, well, awkward at best, awful at worst. Yet despite the drawbacks, the model’s reputation for reliability and home grown engineering tailored to Australia’s various length and

A step ahead. K220 takes Kenworth’s classic K-series into the modern world

weight tolerances have kept it at the forefront of the bristling heavy-duty cab-over market, specifically for linehaul B-double duties.

Indeed, it’s no idle assertion to state that B-doubles are the prime reason K-series, in even its most archaic forms, has kept on keeping on.

However, the arrival of K200 in 2010 put Kenworth’s cab-over on a new footing, one which enhanced all the operational positives yet gratefully dispensed with the woeful ergonomics of predecessors.

As we’ve said before, given the incredibly long existence of the K-series cab, the achievements made by Paccar Australia engineers and product development personnel in creating K200 were nothing short of remarkable. In some estimations, perhaps the company’s greatest engineering achievement.

So, enter K220 mid-way through 2022. In some ways, it seemed Paccar Australia might have gone too early with the new model’s introduction. In a booming market, K200 was still selling extremely well and along with record demand for most other models in the Kenworth cache, production at the Bayswater (Vic) factory was stretched like never before.

134

New DEALS

But then, as a senior Paccar executive mentioned at the model’s launch, K220 would place Kenworth on a new pedestal in the premium cab-over market and for that, he insisted, the timing is always right.

In effect, it all boils down to a model which is both obviously and subtly different, and undeniably more relevant to a modern market where technology and digitisation are common themes. Still, K220 retains the design diversity to be many things to many people, able to be configured in three, four and five-axle layouts from 6x4 to 10x6, and with gross weight ratings from a nominal 97 tonnes to around 250 tonnes.

Typically Kenworth, options are prolific, starting with a 1.7 metre day cab to a 2.3 metre sleeper in flat-roof or high-rise form, and a 2.8 metre aero ‘big cab’, all available with side extenders and on sleeper sheds, heaps of storage and bunk options as well as roof fairings. And important to many, the choice of a single-piece or two-piece windscreen.

K220 also provides an upgraded electrical platform with the capacity to better integrate systems from Europe and the US in areas such as safety, telematics and powertrains.

It may not seem particularly exciting but talk to boffins at Kenworth and several

key suppliers – notably Cummins and Eaton – and the importance of substantially advanced electrical architecture hits home with absolute authority.

Yet despite this electrical leap, Kenworth strangely decided to keep a high-level safety package optional rather than standard. It appears an odd decision, particularly after Kenworth trumpeting that K220 has the largest range of active and passive safety systems ever offered by the brand, and the increasingly widespread view that advanced safety is more a prerequisite than a prerogative.

Anyway, the biggest outward change is obviously the grille. Gone is the dunny seat design of the K200, replaced with a new ‘face’ more in keeping with the look of the T610 and T410 conventionals. Less obvious yet more useful are a more efficient engine fan and new wheel-well shield to reduce spray and road debris reaching the engine bay and electrical connections.

There are also new LED headlamps with integrated indicators and daytime running lights but according to Kenworth, the most significant shift in exterior design is a more aerodynamic roof profile which also improves headroom and substantially

At ease. Paccar Australia chief engineer Brad May behind the wheel of K220

increases overhead storage space. Similarly, the deletion of vista windows on the top of high-rise cabs is a move aimed squarely at improving sleeper insulation and maximising performance of a new climatecontrolled air-con system.

From the driver’s seat, the most dramatic change is a 38cm (15-inch) digital instrument panel which is, to state the obvious, a complete departure from Kenworth’s typical array of gauges. Purists might poopoo the progress but seriously, Kenworth designers appear to have done a superb job with the brand’s first full foray into digital instrumentation. Excellent, in fact, with probably the most logical and likeable digital display on the heavy-duty market.

Moreover, switchgear and control functions have been heavily reworked with a long bank of easily identified switches across the lower edge of the fascia, easily understood switches on a revised steering wheel layout, and stalk-mounted indicator and retarder controls. Initially, there appears to be much for a driver to comprehend because K220 is so different from any of its kin but that said, it’s apparent a great deal of

thought went into making the new systems as practicable as possible. Consequently, familiarity comes quickly and one of the most appealing features is a comprehensive ‘Systems Check’ delivered by the press of a button to reveal a swag of maintenance detail, including the operation of truck and trailer lights.

Also, there’s a 20cm Audio Visual Navigation unit on the left of the dash with what Kenworth describes as intuitive controls on the dash and steering wheel for navigation, the audio system and phone pairing. Further left, there’s space for up to six optional ‘traditional’ gauges.

Meanwhile, the revised interior has seen brake and throttle pedals moved further forward to make more space in the footwell but perhaps even more critically for some, Kenworth’s interior image is retained with soft upholstery in traditional studded trim with updated colour choices.

And clearly, providing the punch for all this transformation is a Cummins X15 in either Euro 5 or Euro 6 form. The big difference here, however, is the coupling of Eaton’s allnew Endurant XD Pro 18-speed automated

transmission. Of course, there’s also an 18-speed manual ’box for the stirrers but the XD Pro is the big news, with ‘extreme duty’ clutches and components designed to make this latest generation of Eaton automation better in every way.

But that’s enough of the detail. Let’s drive.

On the move For a number or reasons, this trip was many months in the making, not least because most of the pre-production trucks built for the launch event were for a good while busy doing demos with dealers around the country. Plus, our idea was to do something more than just another run along the Hume or the Newell, even if it meant waiting considerably longer for a truck to become available.

Why not, we proposed, take a K220 B-double from Melbourne to Mildura, across the border to Wentworth then up to Broken Hill, do a spot of dirt work around Silverton’s stark saltbush country, and head back? All up, a round trip just shy of 1800km.

Gratefully, Paccar’s people liked the idea, including chief engineer Brad May who wrangled a busy diary to ride shotgun for a few days. ‘Busy’ would, in fact, be something of an understatement these days given projects on Paccar’s engineering agenda, not least a major Cummins-powered DAF exercise with the potential to propel Paccar even deeper into the premium cab-over class. Maybe, even, at the expense of an increasingly expensive K-series but that’s a story, a very big story, for another day.

138

New DEALS

Nonetheless, K220 is a critical foundation of Kenworth’s commerce and any delusionary thought that a few days in the cab with the chief engineer may divulge some secret insight on current projects proved to be exactly that – delusionary!

As anyone who knows him may attest, Brad is part of the Paccar faithful with KW etched deep into the May family history.

His exterior can sometimes seem abrupt, even brash, other times deeply thoughtful, but at all times resolutely confident and passionate of Paccar Australia’s abilities and achievements. Simply put, it was good to have him in the cab and for a few hours at least, share the driving as he, too, took stock of the new model’s road manners.

With Christmas just a few weeks away, we

left late one weekday morning after hooking up a B-double set at the Kenworth and DAF dealership in Laverton on Melbourne’s manic western rim. At 55 tonnes, gross weight was lighter than expected but still enough to gain some real world indication of the K220’s on-road character and likewise, an impression of a 565hp Euro 6 X15’s performance and fuel efficiency, particularly with Eaton’s new double overdrive Endurant box doing the shift work.

As for the truck, it was a high-roof 2.3 metre cab model which had notched a whisker over 23,000km on demo duties since first appearing six months earlier at the K220 launch event in Brisbane. Built on a 4.28 metre wheelbase and said to tare a tickle under 9.14 tonnes, the truck was

Icons in the outback

139

DOW 490-130 K220.indd 139

2/3/2023 4:24 pm

equipped with 750 litre rectangular fuel tanks each side and a 180 litre plastic AdBlue tank behind the driver’s side step. At the back, mounted on Kenworth’s Airglide rear suspension, Meritor diffs ran a 4.3:1 ratio while stopping power came from the same maker’s disc brakes front and rear.

Optional items were the immensely worthwhile ‘Hill Hold’ function along with the Bendix Wingman Fusion safety package consisting of an electronic braking system, electronic stability program, auto traction control and active cruise control braking.

The demo truck’s inventory also had Paccar Connect, a GPS telematics information system tracking the vehicle and monitoring performance and driver behaviour.

Predictably perhaps, the run north on the Calder Highway was uneventful in some respects, revealing in others.

Uneventful, for example, because the Cummins with the new Eaton ’box simply reaffirmed the opinion that the integration and synergy between the US engine and transmission specialists has evolved considerably since the 2017 formation of an Eaton Cummins joint venture and subsequent creation of the ADEPT (Advanced Dynamic Efficient Powertrain Technology) driving program. Mind you, they’re not yet in the same league as the fully integrated Europeans but definitely playing in the same ball park and over the next few days, the Endurant transmission would steadily reveal far smoother and more intuitive qualities than its Ultrashift-Plus predecessor.

On the other hand, and despite respectably strong pulling power, the Euro 6 X15 has a strange engine note under heavy lugging. For whatever reason, it is simply a significantly different and at first unsettling sound compared to the Euro 5 version.

Predictably, the Kenworth delivered what was expected of it with superb steering, good road manners, and a sleeper layout justifiably considered by many to be the best in the cab-over class. But then, lumpy ride quality wasn’t altogether unexpected either

due to the absence of air suspension under the rear of the cab.

The first few hours also revealed the usual quirks of a pre-production model. There was, for instance, a squeak in the passenger side of the dash which had a determined Brad May pressing and poking panels until the offending item was discovered and squished into silence. Not so easily poked into submission were areas of fit and finish untypical of Kenworth’s high standards of build quality.

But, as Brad May pointed out, that’s one of the prime functions of pre-production units; to find those points requiring adjustment and fine-tuning prior to full production, and as the day rolled on it was obvious the engineer’s ear was eager for anything even remotely resembling something less than

140

It’s much better than it once was but cab access has never been a strong point for K-series. Optional swing-out staircase makes entry\ exit much easier but it’s an expensive ‘extra’

ideal. Recent heavy rains had chopped the Calder badly in some parts, yet the distance ticked away easily with the Cummins running at 1570rpm at 100km/h through the tall 0.7:1 ratio of Endurant’s top gear. In an age where most brands seek the lowest possible engine speeds in the hunt for fuel efficiency, it seemed an unusually high rev count but the ADEPT program is purposefully designed to deliver the best compromise in both performance and fuel consumption.

Consequently, a fuel burn of 2.0km/litre (5.68mpg) from a responsive powertrain seemed entirely reasonable after almost 600km as the combination crossed into NSW over a heavily flooded Murray River and soon after, pulled up for the night at Wentworth along the equally deluged banks of the Darling River.

Out and back The night had passed quickly and we were keen to make a mile, checking tyres and turntables by the light of mobile phones before stowing bags and making the spiderlike stretch into the high cab. Key on, let the electronic systems run their checks and calibrations, fire the Cummins into life and fill in the log book.

Familiarity had come quickly and there was already an appreciable liking for the neat and logical layouts of the digital dash and surrounding switchgear. Again, Kenworth designers do their work well.

Still, it struck me – not for the first time – that climbing into and out of a K-series cab has never been the best, due largely to the model’s set-forward front axle. That said, a swing-out driver’s side step has been available for a number of years but it’s said to be an expensive option with relatively few takers, so in the great majority of cases, cab access remains a consistent bugbear of the K-series cab.

Anyway, dawn was still a hint of soft colour on the fringe of a star-sprinkled sky as the outfit ambled through town with Brad May at the wheel for the 300 or so kilometres north to Broken Hill and the quirky surrounds of Silverton.

Cruising across the open expanse, it was easy to just sit back and talk about the finer details of a model which will account for as much as 30 per cent of production at the Bayswater plant. K220 is, of course, the only cab-over of North American origin on the market and displays its cultural differences with European rivals in many ways. It is, for instance, not as whisper quiet as the continental contingent but that’s not to suggest in-cab noise levels are obtrusive or annoying. Not at all.

Likewise, convenience is a big factor and while detractors will rightly refer to K-series’ veteran status, there’s no question the Australian market is the sole inheritor of decades of local development which altogether make the model so consistently popular with owners and drivers alike.

Behind the wheel, there’s more than an inkling that many years of operator input have gone into making this truck more convenient and practical than any predecessors and indeed, even one or two contemporaries.

Still, like most cab-over competitors in this class, K220’s big mirrors provide excellent rear vision down the sides but at roundabouts particularly, the large housings impede the driver’s right-side view. All brands should perhaps take a look at Volvo’s mirrors for a better view.

And again, airbags under the back of the cab would be beneficial to take the lumps out on poorer roads, sealed or otherwise, rather than largely leaving ride quality to an excellent Isri suspension seat. And on driving position, while there’s ample adjustment on the seat and steering column for a bevy of body types, Kenworth’s assertion about K220 offering more room in the driver’s footwell is perhaps overstated.

There’s limited room for the left foot but the re-sited brake and accelerator pedals don’t deliver the gains suggested. At the helm, even the chief engineer nodded in agreement.

Anyway, after a day of different conditions, late afternoon saw the truck back in Wentworth and heading south with the overall thought that the modern and largely practical changes which make K220 different are accompanied by less apparent aspects, some which still need refinement, yet all designed to take Kenworth’s seemingly ageless cab-over further into the future.

The big shifts, of course, are a significantly more capable electrical package and the move to a digital dash and gauge layout.

In both areas, and to again push the point, Paccar Australia engineers and product designers appear to have done their work extremely well.

Meantime, the powertrain has been undeniably enhanced with the deployment of the Endurant XD Pro automated transmission, even though Eaton’s latest box of tricks initially seemed little different to its Ultrashift-Plus predecessor. After all, Ultrashift-Plus had evolved considerably over the years and was almost certainly at the peak of its capabilities by the time Endurant arrived.

But as the K220 pushed on and conditions over several days varied from quick freeway to questionable highways, ’roundtown teetering and secondary country roads, the new transmission’s affinity with the performance traits of the Euro 6 X15 became ever more apparent, through seamless and highly intuitive shifts, and a superbly stepped ratio spread from a 14.32:1 bog cog to 0.83 and 0.7 top slots.

It is, in short, simply a smoother, smarter powertrain but it, too, showed the need for further refinement, specifically to cancel what can only be described as an occasional and somewhat hefty ‘thump’ when coming out of cruise control. Odd! Back at Laverton, fuel consumption for the overall trip of 1790km according to the K220’s on-board trip computer (there are literally dozens of trip meters available through the updated electrical system) was more than respectable at 1.92km/litre, or 5.42mpg for us older folk.

It’s worth remembering though, the Euro 6 X15 is totally reliant on SCR for emissions compliance and subsequently uses higher levels of AdBlue than its Euro 5 counterpart, so fuel efficiency needs to be considered with this in mind.

All up, perhaps the most appropriate conclusion is to repeat our opinion after the launch event mid-way through last year: ‘It would take a fountain of foolishness to suggest the K220 will be anything less than a continuation of the incredible acceptance which keeps K-series the dominant model in Paccar Australia’s product portfolio.’

Even so, as a certain Paccar Australia engineer remarked some years back at an upbeat DAF function in Queensland when asked about the future of K-series: “Nothing lasts forever.”

Too true, but in our estimation the greatest challenge to the future of Kenworth’s iconic yet increasingly expensive cab-over will not come from aggressive competitors. It will come from within in the form of a model currently being developed by Paccar resources in Europe and Australia, specifically for the Australian and New Zealand markets, powered by an entirely new Cummins engine.

In the meantime, K220 will keep on keeping on. Simple as that.

The K220 has a striking presence on the road

S

trange how things sometimes develop. Like, Brisbane Truck Show 2021, and a casual conversation with a good friend from trailer group MaxiTrans.

Early morning at Martin’s Stock Haulage depot near Oakey. The Scone (NSW) based company runs 85 prime movers, around 260 trailers and Base Air is now a fundamental fitment because “it ticks all the boxes, and then some.”

“Have you heard of an air suspension system called Base Air?” he asked.

“The name rings a bell but that’s all. Why?” “Just curious. There seems to be a lot of interest in it. Wanna catch up for a beer tonight?”

Obvious answer, “For sure.”

Less than an hour later there’s an equally casual encounter with retired Boral engineer Merv Rowland. Merv’s a top man, respected far and wide, and what he doesn’t know about truck and trailer performance probably isn’t worth knowing, but out of the blue he mentions Base Air and its creator, a bloke named Matthew Vaughan. Long story short, Merv says he’s hearing nothing but good things about Vaughan and his air suspension system.

But this is the Brisbane Truck Show and busy as a check-out chick on Friday arvo, thoughts about Base Air and its boffins soon drift into the cerebral clouds.

So, fast forward a year or more, parked in a quiet, shady spot making notes about the truck I’ve been driving. The phone rings, and a

distinctly familiar voice says, “Hi Steve, it’s Ray Martin.”

Thinking it’s a mate who has caught me before with his voice impressions, I’m tempted to say, ‘Yeah, and this is George Negus,’ but something stops me. Just as well, because it actually is legendary media man Ray Martin.

Now what would this national icon, a man who has interviewed some of the world’s most famous people, even Bradman, want with a truck journalist who’s been around almost as long as he has?

Yep, you guessed it. Base Air! A long conversation starts and after unfurling a passionate appreciation for Australian initiative and ingenuity mixed with a surprisingly detailed understanding of trucking in general, he brings Base Air and its mastermind Matthew Vaughan into the chatter and it’s immediately apparent, Ray Martin’s a fan. A big fan, and it’s not long before he’s not only asserting Base Air’s performance and safety attributes, and its acceptance by an increasing number of fleets and drivers, but questioning why it’s not yet a production line option with local truck makers, notably Kenworth.

By now though, cynical suspicions are starting to stir. What’s behind this level of

146

DOW 490-144 DT Case for Base.indd 146

2/3/2023 4:34 pm

DEALS Tech

enthusiasm and even excitement from an Australian media legend about an aftermarket suspension system for trucks and trailers?

Is he angling an interview for 60 Minutes (I hope not, because I am certainly not a fan) or does he have a financial stake in the Base Air business? A harsh thing, cynicism!

Gratefully, neither is the case and the cynicism is unwarranted. As later discussions would disclose, Ray Martin met Base Air founder and director Matthew Vaughan in 2008 and became an ardent supporter of what’s best described as an air management system for heavy vehicle suspensions. So supportive, in fact, he has interviewed dozens of drivers about the system’s performance,

spoken openly on Base Air’s benefits, done voice-overs to explain the system’s operation and in May 2020, joined the Advisory Board of controlling entity, Base Air Management Ltd. Other than that, and the fact his son Luke Martin is employed in a marketing capacity with the company, that’s as far as the media luminary’s involvement goes.

Eventually, and with Merv Rowland’s comments from a year earlier bouncing around the brain box, the conversation ends with an agreement to talk with Matthew Vaughan and in a few months’ time, perhaps get behind the wheel for a comparison of trucks with and without the Base Air system.

That comparison took place at the end of

last year but before that, it didn’t take much research to reveal other unrelated Martins in the Base Air story, namely Martin’s Stock Haulage forthright founder Gordon Martin and his son Jason. And others of similarly candid character, with far more at stake than any media celebrity. People like Blenners Transport principal Less Blennerhassett, Wickham Freight Lines director Graham Keogh, former Toll Group (now Team Global Express) executive general manager Ross Longmire, and critically, a bunch of drivers with definite opinions on what works and what doesn’t. They’re all there on YouTube, citing the benefits of Base Air and not pulling any punches in their enthusiasm and support for the system.

It’s worth noting though, these high-profile and highly successful companies are all committed and long-term users of Kenworth trucks, yet there is no indication from Paccar Australia that Base Air will become a production line option at the Bayswater (Vic) factory anytime soon. Sure, the Base Air kit is now available through Paccar Parts but so far, senior Paccar Australia people insist they have more than enough on their production plate without adding yet another option to the Kenworth book of bits.

Consequently, in the majority of cases

where a new Kenworth is to be fitted with the Base Air system, the installation is done to Base Air’s direction by highly regarded Melbourne company, Australian Bus and Truck Modifications. But some, like Martin’s Stock Haulage, have been trained by Base Air to do their own installations.

Nonetheless, these fleet people are not walkovers when it comes to product promotion or endorsement. They call it the way they see it, whatever it is, so if they’re prepared to put their company and their name to a particular product, there must be something to it and more to the point, something beneficial for their business.

As Wickham’s Graham Keogh, a man wellknown for not mincing words, succinctly says of Base Air, “I’ve got no reason to say it works if it doesn’t … all round it’s a really good experience for us.”

Why go with air?

As for the function of the system, the text of Ray Martin’s voice-over on YouTube probably explains it best, first describing Base Air as

‘a revolutionary air management system … designed for heavy vehicles’.

Simply, it is not a new air suspension. It is a system which allows an existing air suspension to more instantly react to dynamic forces. Or, as Base Air states, ‘It actively and mechanically increases control over the air suspension – in real time – in response to changing vehicle dynamic driving conditions such as offset loading, chassis roll, cambered roads etc.’

Furthermore, ‘When the vehicle is not in a chassis roll condition, Base Air actively equalises pressure in all air springs to ensure load share and reduce overloading on suspension components. This is accomplished without electronics and adjustment is never needed.’

It’s worth mentioning the small print though, ‘Base Air is not applicable on vehicles fitted with electronic height control valves.’

Anyway, as the explanation continues, ‘Traditional methods of pressure control for air suspension are often static systems. They use one air circuit for two sets of air springs.

Trucks and technology have come a long way since Gordon Martin started business with one International and today, both he and son Jason are avid proponents of Base Air

Media legend Ray Martin pushing the case for Base Air at the 2022 Paccar Parts and Service conference.

The Base Air kit is available through Paccar Parts but there’s no sign yet it will be offered as a production line option on Kenworth

‘The Base Air system uses a vehicle’s existing air supply, connected to a dualpressure protection valve. It then runs two separate air lines of equal length and equal diameter, down to two bespoke height control valves. This creates a dual-circuit system.

‘Each valve operates independent of the other depending on road conditions. For example, when the vehicle enters a bend in the road, or the surface has become unstable, both circuits operate independently. Each set of springs responds to changes in loading, with the appropriate pressure for that side.

‘When the vehicle is once again on level ground, air pressure is equalised via unique cross-flow technology, which maintains perfect load sharing. This smarter control system reduces vibration for the driver, and for freight, along with more uniform loading, resulting in less tyre wear.’

Moreover, in a written response to our questions, Matthew Vaughan explained,

‘Separating a single-circuit air system into a dual-circuit system helps each lateral set of air springs maintain appropriate pressure for varying conditions.

‘This means what the driver feels is more consistent and predictable. Less steering correction is necessary to maintain the driver’s intended path, so the driver reaches the end of a journey less fatigued, with less tyre-wear and less movement that can damage freight.

‘Synchronising the two circuits via crossflow once the vehicle has returned to steady conditions, ensures load share is always maintained.’

Again, Vaughan cites reduced driver fatigue, less component wear, reduced vibration and freight damage, and increased tyre life as the benefits reported by operators of the system.

Tyre life has been a particularly big gain for Wickham Freight Lines with Graham Keogh reporting a 20 to 30 per cent improvement. “If you’re saving on your tyres, you’re generally saving on fuel, which is the big one,” he remarks, while further stating, “Drivers are really impressed.”

Likewise, Martins Stock Haulage national operations manager Adam Ross reports similar improvements in tyre life along with a slight gain in average fuel consumption from 1.62 to 1.67km/litre. He’s also adamant, “Drivers get out of the truck fresher.”

Meantime, at Tully in Far North Queensland, Les Blennerhassett says the company’s first driver of a new combination fully fitted with Base Air was Graeme Lyon. Les admits he was keen for unfettered feedback, so Graeme wasn’t told of the Base Air fitment.

However, just a few hours after leaving on the combination’s maiden run, Graeme rang to ask, “What’s different? This thing just stands up so much better.”

Much the same sentiments came from former Toll Group executive Ross Longmire (now a general manager with Followmont Transport in Qld) who saw improvements in tyre wear as a direct result of trucks and trailers simply “… standing up better.” There are, he added, “Lots of positives.

“Driving is an onerous job and anything we can do as an organisation, as an industry, to improve that, we need to explore it.

“If someone asked me about Base Air I’d definitely recommend they go explore it,” he concluded.

All these accolades are, of course, music to the ears of the team at Base Air and its principal, Matthew Vaughan, whose first foray with a dual height control system for airbag suspensions dates back to a concept originally developed by a Gippsland (Vic) truck driver

150

DEALS Tech

in 2005 and the subsequent formation of a company called Ride & Glide Pty Ltd. Since then, and despite no formal engineering background, Vaughan has been the driving force in the technical evolution of the product and the creation of Base Air Management Ltd, an unlisted public company with around 500 shareholders.

As he explains, the technology of an air suspension system with dual height control valves was patented in the US, Mexico, Europe, China, Japan, Australia and New Zealand in 2008 and by 2011, Ride & Glide had morphed into Base Suspension Pty Ltd. In case you’re wondering, ‘Base’ is an acronym of ‘Balance And Safety Enhancement.’

In 2014, Matthew Vaughan relocated to the United States and it was here in 2017 that the key to Base Air’s future emerged with his development of ‘cross-flow technology’ to equalise air pressure in a dual-circuit, height control valve (HCV) system, effectively reinventing the original technology.

From this point on, producing and testing proprietary components with the necessary performance and quality were the prime goals. Ultimately, after extensive field trials of prototypes in the US and Australia in

2019, as well as laboratory tests by Camozzi Automation in Italy, production of height control valves and dual-pressure protection valves built to Base Air’s exact requirements commenced in 2020 in Brescia, Italy.

As Base Air’s product information details, the core components of the system are ‘proprietary precision-engineered HCVs with crossflow technology, dual-pressure protection valves, full-flow US Dept of Transport (DOT) approved air fittings, and high capacity, low resistance, equal length DOT approved air lines.’

Things moved fast from 2020, starting with the first installations and field trials in Queensland. There were minor hiccups but early results were hugely positive and

by August 2021, the decision was made to relocate to Yatala on Brisbane’s outskirts to accommodate, as Matthew Vaughan put it, increases in staff and the supply of HCVs. In February last year, a supply agreement was reached with Paccar Parts Australia and little more than six months later, vital warranty approval was given by air suspension suppliers Hendrickson and SAF-Holland.

Operator acceptance appears to have come with even greater zeal. According to

Martin’s Stock Haulage driver Nathan McLoughlin.

Matt Lanagan. The experienced livestock driver admits to being a Base Air sceptic at first but now, “I can’t fault it. It just stands up so well.”

Matthew Vaughan, at the end of 2022 there were around 140 Base Air systems operating across Australia, with each standard system consisting of two HCVs and one dual-pressure protection valve.

Unquestionably, one of the most impressive combinations is the ‘Super Triple’ belonging to Queensland’s Emerald Carrying Company with all seven axle groups – from the steer and tri-drive of the T909 prime mover to the quad-axle trailer groups and tri-axle dollies – equipped with the Base Air system.

Meantime, one of the latest to join the growing list of high-profile companies adopting Base Air is Visy Industries, adding the system on an order for 10 new Vawdrey trailers.

‘It would,’ says Matthew Vaughan, ‘be safe to say the system has been run over 20 million kilometres.’

‘So far, we have had nothing but positive feedback on the system.’

Early one summer morning on the backroads beyond Oakey in southern Queensland, it didn’t take long to understand why this might be.

Transferable skills Base Air isn’t just for heavy trucks and trailers.

It can be fitted to air-suspended buses, caravans and utes, like the gutsy Chevy Silverado punching hard through the bends on the long climb up Toowoomba Range by Base Air technician Tony Thurgar.

It’s well after dark and predictably, the conversation inside the cab is all about the workings and attributes of Base Air. The Chevy is cornering flat as a toad on tar but rather than ramble on about how good it is, Tony flicks a switch (fitted for demonstration purposes only) which cancels the Base Air system and immediately, the Silverado reverts to its standard sloppy self, rockin’ and rollin’ around the bends.

A short but impressive demonstration for sure, but, Tony says, nothing like the difference we’ll experience tomorrow morning when two Martin’s Stock Haulage B-double sets demonstrate why Base Air has become fundamental in a company which puts high stock – literally – in stability and safety. *

The sun has just cracked over the hill at Martin’s Oakey depot and two drivers wait among a line of serious toilers, mostly T909s mixed with a few T610s. The two men seem a tad anxious at first, and fair enough. They are, after all, about to move into the passenger seat while a couple of journalists drive their T9s with double-deck cattle crates. Even empty crates, it’s a worry for drivers whose abilities and experience come from hard yards in a hard line of work where one mistake can quickly become one too many.

But over the rest of the morning an easy acceptance emerges, and Matt Lanagan and

152

DEALS Tech

Nathan McLoughlin seem happy enough with a stranger who at least knows how to change gear and steer straight. Still, they’re much happier talking about Base Air and the huge stability benefit it produces in notoriously topheavy cattle crates, loaded or empty.

The exercise is simple enough: Compare the ride and handling of two T909s hauling B-double crates, empty and loaded, one with Base Air controlling the standard air suspension of truck and trailers, the other without. Understandably, Martin’s draws the line at inexperienced people driving a combination with a heavy load of cattle on board, so we only drive the trucks empty.

Again, fair enough.

Besides, in reality there’s not a lot to be gained from short stints behind the wheel of either truck. The fact is, it’s the drivers who best know Base Air’s on-road attributes and as the day will define, the system’s merits become evident from either side of the cab.

From Martin’s yard, it’s a steady run on

typically rough-edged backroads to the Kurrawong feedlot where each outfit will take on board a full load of big Brahman-cross cattle headed for eternity at Kilcoy, about 140km away. And predictably, it’s on the loaded run where the Base system will show its strongest asset, physically and visually.

Indeed, following each of the loaded trucks in a car later in the day, the ‘lean’ factor was almost imperceptible in the Base-equipped combination while the other unit had, well, a typical leaning one way or the other.

Anyway, first up I climbed in with Matt Lanagan in the un-Based combination, a 2015 T909 with 1.1 million kilometres under its belt and truly, a credit to Kenworth’s build quality and critically, Martin’s maintenance standards.

We’re not going far, just 30km or so before swapping to the Base-equipped truck, but far enough for Matt to explain a few things while I steer. For instance, after many years chauffeuring cattle around the country, he’s

Even standing still, the difference was remarkable.

With Base Air, there was hardly any movement of truck or trailers as cattle shuffled and shoved each other. Without it, the rocking was constant

Locked and loaded at the Kurrawong feedlot west of Toowoomba. With heavy cattle on top and bottom decks, the difference in stability between the B-double with Base Air and the combination with a standard air suspension was dramatic

something of a fill-in driver these days and admits to initially being “a bit sceptical” about Base Air but after driving a number of new trucks fitted with the system over the past year and more, the scepticism has been replaced by high regard. “I can’t fault it,” he says simply.

From behind the wheel, the aging T909 is a nice truck to drive yet altogether typical of a model built for this type work.

It steers well, ride is a tad choppy and yes, even unloaded, the high centre-of-gravity is something to be aware of on sweeping bends.

A few hours later with 60 head of hefty cattle on board, Matt’s experience keeps the combination on an even keel but even so, it’s obvious a steady hand and keen sense are taking nothing for granted on roads that seem to change character and camber from one turn to the next.

“That’s what I like about the Base system,” he remarked quickly. “It’s the balance it provides.

This is a good enough truck but you’re always working at it. Even standing still, it rocks around with the cattle moving.” Right then, it was easy to appreciate the comments by some operators and drivers that Base Air has been a boon for minimising driver fatigue.

“You’ll notice the difference in Nathan’s truck.” Matt declared. “It just stands up so well.”

The truck is a 2021 model with near enough to 291,000 on the clock and as Nathan

McLoughlin explained, “I’ve been in it from new and it’s had Base Air on the truck and trailers from the start.”

With Martin’s for the past nine years, he seems content enough to sit in the shotgun seat for the next half or so to the feedlot, and agrees that even empty, the combination sits noticeably more upright than the standard suspension. What’s more, the ride’s not as harsh on broken bits of road, bitumen or dirt.

“But you really notice it with cattle on, especially big cattle on both decks,” he adds.

Indeed you do.

In fact, from the moment the loaded trucks pulled over for a passenger swap it was blatantly obvious that the Base-equipped unit was barely moving while the other combination rocked noticeably as cattle continued to shuffle and shove each other around.

“You should try sleeping when they’re moving around all night,” Matt Lanagan laughed.

Soon enough, Nathan had the Kenworth punching along sweeping country roads with an easy confidence, and much like Matt, a calm affinity with the metal and mass around him. It was good to just watch him work and there’s no question, this truck rides better.

“It’s definitely kinder on the cattle,” he says with absolute certainty, “but the big gain is stability.”

DEALS Tech It’s definitely kinder on the cattle, but the

He has good cause for the comment. Some time back, he explains, a truck came his way on the wrong side of the road. The only option was to ‘go bush’, putting his fully loaded B-triple into a table drain and it’s a totally convinced Nathan McLoughlin who believes the only reason the trailers stayed upright was the Base Air system. “No doubt about it,” he says, “a standard unit would’ve been on its side.”

Yet for all the merits of the Base Air system expressed by the two Martin’s drivers, Nathan concedes, “I admit that if I had to drive the other (non-Base) truck right now, I’d need to do a quick mental recalibration.

“It’d be easy to come unstuck if you thought everything stood up this well,” he says earnestly. Earlier, Matt Lanagan had expressed much the same thought.

The final word All too soon the day was done, leaving nothing but a hugely positive opinion of the Base Air system.

The final words, however, need to come from Gordon and Jason Martin, the principals of a company which runs 85 prime movers and around 260 trailers in an industry with little to no tolerance for the foolhardy or frivolous. It is, after all, Gordon and Jason who not only agreed to make their drivers, trucks

and trailers available for this exercise but most importantly, are fully committed to a system which they bluntly affirm, delivers immense benefits on so many levels.

According to Jason Martin, the story starts a few years back when “one of our trailer makers said check out this new Base Air system.

“I was sceptical, thought it too good to be true.”

There’s no sign of that scepticism now. Like his drivers, he says simply, the trailers just stand up better and the freight gets to the end in better condition.

With these attributes, company founder Gordon Martin was typically adamant about the decision to adopt Base Air. “Let’s just use it.”

And use it they are, on all new trucks and trailers and progressively retrofitting the system to existing equipment in their own workshop.

Jason doesn’t deny it’s a substantial investment “… but the impact it will have on our business will be massive.

“Our biggest costs are fuel, tyres and maintenance. Base ticks all the boxes and then some,” he insists.

For Gordon Martin, there’s an even higher priority. “The safety has just blown us away.

“The great thing is to send a bloke out on a job but the greater thing is to get him home.”

Indeed!

icking back, putting your feet up by a campfire and having the creature comforts of a modern caravan is part and parcel of the grey nomad experience.

It's no wonder that this lifestyle has become so popular over the past decade, giving people a chance to enjoy the endless beauty of the Australian landscape, and all at your own pace.

The duo managed motels and caravan parks in Rathdowney in Queensland’s Scenic Rim. But when state borders opened

as pandemic restrictions eased, the couple decided it was time for retirement and life on the highway.

After some serious deliberations, they eventually invested in a 2022 NPR 45-155 Tradepack to tow their New Age Big Red 22-foot caravan and carry everything they need to operate self-sufficiently on the road between stops.

“We try and get behind the wheel between six and seven in the morning, pulling up to have a cup of coffee somewhere on the road after a couple of hours,” said Helen Gault.

The Isuzu's cabin provides ample comfort and space for the couple

break and then we might get driving until around lunch time, and then we pull up stumps. We don't like to travel too much distance in one day because we savour the journey.

“A couple of hundred kilometres a day is enough for us.”

Terrific tow Even before retirement, the couple spent a lot of time together on the road exploring Australia’s highways.

Border closures and state lockdowns restricted their travels for a few years but also gave them time to reflect on the upgrades they wanted to make to their set up.

The couple wanted a new vehicle for their life on the road but Greg became concerned about ensuring their dream caravan was towed safely and legally. Caravan owners can get caught out if they exceed the towing vehicle’s gross combined mass (GCM), which

is the total permissible combined weight of the vehicle and caravan, including occupants, fuel and cargo.

Greg looked at a range of 4WDs but decided to talk to Brisbane Isuzu Archerfield about purchasing a light-duty truck.

The Brisbane Isuzu Archerfield team recommended an NPR 45-155 Tradepack for the task, putting the worry of exceeding weight limits into the rear-view mirror.

With a GVM (and towing capacity) of 4,500 kg along with the unit’s 5.2 litre, fourcylinder 16 valve 4HK1-TCN engine, the NPR has all the power required to tow the considerable weight of the deluxe caravan that Greg and Helen have fitted out with a series of impressive extras.

The couple has enjoyed quite a few jaunts on the road in their NPR since collecting it in early 2022, including trips to Sydney, Melbourne and a stop-off at Phillip Island.

“When you're going along the highways,

The NPR 45-155 Tradepack is more than qualified to tow the Gault's van

you don't even know the van is behind it sometimes,” Greg Gault said.

“The NPR has been the best towing vehicle I've ever used.”

Bells and whistles Modifications were made to the NPR so that it resembled Helen and Greg’s dream vehicle with all the added conveniences needed for life on the road.

“We got a solar panel put on the truck and we've wired it up for 12 volts, so it will run our fridge,” Helen said.

“We've just put a 200-litre tank on it so if we happen to find cheap fuel somewhere, we can fill it up. Not to forget the airsafe tow hitch which stops any damage to the caravan while towing.”

The couple has also ventured to Yowah in Queensland, a town known for its opals.

“When the NPR is on the bitumen and you're driving it up the highway, it just purrs along,” Greg said.

“The truck has been able to handle all kinds of weather, we’ve had no issues driving in wet conditions or into the wind.”

At this stage the couple and their beloved NPR have travelled 12,000 kilometres and there are plans in the works for longer trips and more sightseeing.

Greg who has a bit of experience driving trucks has had no complaints.

“I really like it, I've driven a few trucks in my time as I did some years in the fire brigade.

Helen drives it as well, and neither of us

needed a heavy vehicle license as the NPR can be driven with your standard car licence,” Greg said.

From its renowned visibility, the height of the cab and the storage for food, clothing, tools and knickknacks, Helen and Greg have been over the moon about upgrading from a 4WD to an NPR 45-155 Tradepack. Even the couple’s Cavoodle pup enjoys going along for the ride.

“The Isuzu reliability and guarantee of quality and service keep us feeling safe and sound on the road no matter where we are in beautiful Australia,” Helen said.

Helen and Greg share the driving duties with the NPR able to be driven on a standard car licence

Plant & Equipment

The “Truck Wash Special” model offers less pressure and a greater water flow.

Pressure down Haulotte trains its apprentices in a series of rotations across the company.

New heights Haulotte is beefing up its apprenticeships program as its Compact scissor lift range rolls out across Australia Haulotte is looking for additional apprentices to join its teams in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth and Brisbane this year, having recently implemented a formal training program across its bases nation-wide.

The elevated work platform (EWP) and telehandler manufacturer now has one apprentice in each of its locations across Australia, each taking part in a structured training program.

The program starts with tasks like painting and applying decals, before moving onto pre delivery inspections.

After one-year apprentices rotate to service where they learn the diagnostics and maintenance of the machines, and finally, they work with experts to complete the 10-year refurbishments that completely refresh a machine.

The program is led by Brad Kennaugh, who says each apprentice is assigned a mentor to guide them through their rotations, in a bid to help them develop skills across all the company’s departments.

“It is a unique set of skills that go into servicing an EWP, and we face tough competition from other industries,” he says.

“The Hire Industry is a great place to work and provides great opportunities. That is why we want to get the message out there and help get as many apprentices trained up as possible.”

The program also features incentives as the apprentices move from first, to second and third year, including access to the Haulotte Academy – a globally awarded training platform full of intuitive programs designed to provide detailed expertise on EWP equipment, safety and operations.

Haulotte’s added investment in apprentices comes as the company’s Compact scissor lifts start arriving in Australia.

Company national sales manager Paul Sultana says Australian hire companies were impressed with the unit’s design and technology updates – including its battery management system – when they were first displayed at the Hire22 event last year.

“Customers… are loving the smooth AC drive, ease of maintenance and overall strength and robustness of the machine,” he says.

“Along with the Activ’Screen on board diagnostics, the ease of maintenance and accessibility to componentry has been well received by the customers, helping them with reducing their maintenance costs.”

Featuring five working heights, from 8 to 14 metres, and with load capacities from 250 to 450 kg, Haulotte says the new machines add flexibility to hire fleets.

The “Truck Wash Special” high pressure water blaster from Aussie Pumps is built to lift mud faster from vehicles across industry Australian Pump Industries, also known as Aussie Pumps, is offering more water and less pressure in its newest water blaster.

An extension of its Scud range, the new ‘Truck Wash Special’ has a “Big Berty” Bertolini slow speed heavy duty triplex pump that delivers a flow speed of 21 litres of water per minute at 2,600 psi pressure.

The Truck Wash models use higher flow and less pressure to get muddy jobs done faster, making service work easier and enhancing the appearance of vehicles.

Aussie Pumps chief engineer John Hales says the company’s 4,000psi, 15 lpm pump gearbox drive Scuds are at “every major rental company in the country”.

“The machines, either Honda petrol engine drive or Yanmar diesel, are widely used in earthmoving, transport, professional cleaning and similar applications” he says.

The Honda 13 horsepower GX390 industrial petrol engine is the standard drive system, available in either recoil or electric start configuration, while the 10hp electric start Yanmar diesel engine is popular in construction and mining applications.

The finned crankcase on the Big Berty pump helps provide cool running, while its solid ceramic pistons and 316 stainless steel valves prevent corrosion and enhance high fluid dynamic efficiency.

“The pumps are made to last and come with a four-year warranty”, Hales says.

The Truck Wash Special model comes with up to 30 metres of high pressure hose and an optional stainless steel high pressure hose reel, rated to 5,000 psi.

Also available are long wands for under carriage cleaning, turbo lances for enhanced effective working pressure and even a telescopic wand that gives the operator the ability to clean up to 5 metres in height without the use of ladders.
