There were 1,277 Light Trucks delivered, up just over 3 per cent on April 2022 – a new Light Truck record.

Truck Industry Council CEO Tony McMullan says the April results are good news, particularly in light of the already impressive year to date results for the market.

“It is encouraging to see another good result in April to follow the solid first quarter figures,” McMullan says.

“It is particularly encouraging to see Heavy and Light Duty Truck segment sales showing such continued strength.

“We are currently sitting on record sales growth and that is a strong position to be in as we head towards the end of the financial year.”

Across all categories, including heavy vans, 3,613 vehicles were delivered in April. This was down approximately 560 units on the previous month of March 2023, however up 307 vehicles, 9.3 percent, over April last year.

Year-to-date, 14,071 heavy vehicles had been delivered to the end of April, 1,948 vehicles more than were sold year-to-date April 2022 (up 16.1 per cent).

Just 15 trucks is all that stands between Kenworth and Volvo in the race to be Australia’s top selling brand in heavy trucks.

Volvo won the battle in April, selling 249 trucks to Kenworth’s 231, and year to date Volvo is on 994 deliveries to Kenworth’s 979.

The top two are more than 270 sales ahead of Isuzu which is pushing hard into the heavy vehicle segment, delivering 192 trucks in April and 707 for the year so far.

Rounding out the April results were Scania (96), Mack (87), Mercedes-Benz (77), Hino (73), Fuso (73), UD Trucks (72), DAF (63), Freightliner (26), MAN (20), Iveco (20) and Western Star (16).

Medium duty The Medium Duty Truck segment is tracking at about the same level as last year and April saw that trend continue. In April 609 Medium truck sales were recorded, that represents a 0.3 percent decrease (-2 units) over April 2022. The April result keeps the yearto-date 2023 Medium segment sales at 2022 levels to the same

AMBITION

A major step on the long march to carbon neutrality was taken

by Hyundai Motor Group as it unveiled its MIGHTY electric model light truck at this year’s Brisbane Truck Show The year is 2045 and Hyundai Motor Group’s carbon footprint on the world is zero.

It may seem to be a bold statement, but it is this ambitious target driving the Korean motoring company to innovate in the electric vehicle space as it chases a strategy that will see it have 44 eco-friendly vehicles under production by 2025, 23 of those as battery electric vehicles.

The same strategy aims to deliver 3.64 million EV trucks and cars by 2030 and to have all of the company’s major global markets fully electric by 2040.

The latest model to join the EV revolution took pride of place at the Brisbane Truck Show from May 18, as the Hyundai team shared their vision for the future.

At 7.3-tonne the MIGHTY electric light duty truck promises high performance and zero tailpipe emissions. It has been designed as a 4x2 light-duty heavy vehicle that can be used with a tray, tipper or Pantech. Its 200 km range is described as being perfect for last mile delivery or city travel needs, and it has already been tested on Sydney roads.

Available from July this year, with a price tag of around $150,000 (plus on road costs) the truck will be sold with an 8-year / 400,000 km high-voltage battery warranty.

Hyundai Motor Company Australia CEO Ted Lee says adding the MIGHTY Electric Truck to the brand’s range in Australia was a logical progression on the EV journey.

“The zero-emission truck market is gaining momentum in Australia, and as a key driver

of EV adoption in the passenger and SUV market, bringing this vehicle to local truck operators is a logical step for us,” Lee says.

Corporate Business Sales Senior Manager at HMCA, Damian Prescott says he has been fielding calls about the truck since news of its impending arrival went live earlier this year.

“Undoubtedly, the Australian market will increasingly turn to zero-emission solutions such as the MIGHTY Electric Truck over the coming years, driven by community expectation as much as operational requirements," Prescott says.

“We are confident that the MIGHTY Electric Truck will provide a perfect stepping in point for courier fleets, councils, and local retail delivery and vocational truck operators who are keen to show that they are trying to reduce emissions in our urban areas.”

The new truck’s battery will charge from 8 per cent to 100 per cent in 71 minutes on an 800V ultra-rapid charger. Its electric motor produces 120kW of power delivered via a single-speed reduction gear transmission.

Hyundai Motor Company's truck department has been busy working on zeroemission solutions for many years, laeding to the creation of the MIGHTY Electric truck and the forthcoming range of XCIENT Fuel Cell heavy duty trucks.

Hyundai says there will be a second test program opened up to customers in June this year to gauge the performance and seek feedback on the MIGHTY Electric Truck's role in the real working environment.

s d w o r c d or Rec IN BRISBANE

The 2023 Brisbane Truck Show is being hailed as the biggest ever

The latest trucks drew a crowd

The Melbourne Storm themed truck was a hit at the South Bank Truck Festival

Four days of all things trucking at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre attracted nearly 42,000 visitors and set a new attendance record for the biennial Brisbane Truck Show last month.

The show, which has been produced by Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia since 1968, continued the tradition of sharing the latest and greatest from some of the world’s biggest truck manufacturers, with a special focus this year on trucks powered by

alternative fuel sources such as hydrogen, electric or bio-diesel.

HVIA Chief Executive Todd Hacking says all sectors of the industry turned out in droves.

“This is the first time we have had over 40,000 people through the doors over the four days of the event,” Hacking says.

“Our members make up the vast majority of exhibitors, and while the original intent was simply to connect them with their customers, it has become much more than that.

“There are so many events that run alongside the truck show now, that make it a compelling opportunity for everyone to get together in Brisbane.

“The South Bank Truck Festival, the Heritage Truck Show, the Heavy Equipment & Machinery Show, and numerous other conferences, meetings and events have taken place alongside the show this year.”

Highlights were many and included a Kenworth T680 hydrogen fuel cell truck prototype from PACCAR and Deakin University, two of the latest Mack Trucks, Mack’s amazing full scale lego model,

an all-electric Iveco, Fuso’s eCanter, and Hyundai’s entrant into the electric market.

It was more than just trucks though with Shell showcasing the history of its brand in Australia and highlighting the path to a greener future on its stand, and Moore Truck Parts showcasing its large range of aftermarket truck parts designed to help owners and operators to get their trucks back on the road as quickly as possible.

The Brisbane Truck Show also partnered with Healthy Heads in Trucks and Sheds

this year to help put the spotlight on health in the industry.

“We have partnered with Healthy Heads in Trucks and Sheds this year, and we hope that has been successful in supporting its mission to shine a light on mental health and well-being,” Hacking says.

The truck show is the centrepiece of Heavy Vehicle Industry week, which aims to promote safety, innovation, sustainability, knowledge, careers and community.

It wasn't just a show full of prime movers

Kenworth's presence was certainly hard to miss

Icy Volvo test Volvo Trucks has taken to the public roads in the north of Sweden to test the abilities of its prototype hydrogen-powered electric heavy vehicles under the toughest of conditions Ice, wind and snow are just a few of the tough conditions Volvo’s hydrogen-powered electric trucks are facing in the cool climate of northern Sweden, above the Artic Circle.

The evolutionary vehicles have been tested on public roads in a bid to gather data and understand how the technology will perform in the tough European winters.

By using hydrogen to generate electricity and maintain battery charge, these new trucks are able to travel long distances before requiring refuelling.

“Trucks are operating seven days a week and in all types of weather. The harsh conditions on public roads in northern Sweden, with ice, wind and lots of snow, make an ideal testing environment,” says Helena Alsiö, VP Powertrain Product Management at Volvo Trucks.

“I am pleased to say that the tests are going well, confirming tests we carried out beforehand, both digitally and on our confined test track close to Gothenburg.”

Volvo says fuel cell electric trucks powered by hydrogen will be well suited for areas where charging infrastructure has not yet rolled out, such as rural area.

It says the trucks currently being

tested in northern Sweden should be commercially available sometime after 2025, and will be another addition to Volvo’s existing line up of low emission battery-electric trucks which currently features six different models.

To speed up the development of the new trucks Volvo Group has joined forces with Daimler to develop and produce fuel cell systems that are tailor-made for heavy-duty vehicles.

Volvo’s hydrogen-powered fuel cell trucks will use two fuel cells with a capacity to generate 300 kW of electric power.

Volvo Trucks president Roger Alm

Volvo’s hydrogen powered truck tackling icy roads with ease

says the world needs to act now and move towards zero emission transport in order to stop global warming.

“Regardless of the transport assignments or where in the world our customers are operating, waiting is not an option,” Alm says.

“In a few years, our customers will be able to completely eliminate CO2 exhaust emissions from their trucks.”

Volvo Trucks vice president of Powertrain Product Management Helena Alsiö is supervising testing on the new trucks

Japanese brands tackle hydrogen A hydrogen powered heavy duty truck is roaming the streets of Japan courtesy of a partnership between motoring giants Isuzu and Honda Hydrogen powered Isuzu heavy duty trucks powered by a Honda hydrogen fuel cell system could be available for sale in 2027.

At least that’s the plan Isuzu is aiming towards after announcing its partnership agreement with Honda last month in Japan, at the same time a truck the companies developed together received Japanese number plates and the ok to use public roads.

Isuzu and Honda believe fuel cell technology, utilising hydrogen as a fuel and resulting in no CO2 emissions, will be effective to achieve carbon neutrality of the heavy-duty trucks required to address large load capacity, long-time use, long-distance driving and the need for quick refuelling.

Since the signing of an agreement in January 2020, to conduct joint research on heavy-duty trucks utilising fuel cells (FC) as the powertrain, the two companies have been working toward the establishment of a foundation for basic technologies such as ensuring the compatibility of fuel cells and heavy-duty trucks and the development of vehicle control technologies.

The two companies are currently planning to start demonstration testing of a prototype truck on public roads before the end of the current fiscal year (ending March 31, 2024).

By fully leveraging experience and knowledge gained through the joint research, the two companies say they

Joint Isuzu-Honda fuel cellpowered heavy duty truck

will continue making progress in the development of products that “fulfill the performance and conditions required for heavy-duty trucks and satisfy customers”.

Moving forward, the two companies will take advantage of the respective strengths of each company and accelerate the development of clean, low-noise, lowvibration fuel cell- powered heavyduty trucks.

They predict this will contribute to the shift toward the use of clean energy such as hydrogen by the entire industry, including logistics businesses, and help both companies to achieve their shared goal – which is the realisation of a carbon neutral society.

Hydrogen-powered tip runs Remondis Australia is moving on its sustainability goals with a hydrogen waste truck Waste removal specialist Remondis Australia has announced it will trial one of the world’s first zero emission waste collection trucks as part of its commercial operations.

The company says the trial of the hydrogen-powered truck could be the precursor for a major roll-out of zero-emission heavy vehicles across Remondis’ global network and be a catalyst for other fleet businesses to follow suit.

Developed by Hyzon Motors ANZ (Hyzon) in Australia and made available to Remondis under an agreement announced in Melbourne, the truck’s fuel cell electric engine relies on hydrogen funnelled from specially made tanks, which combines with air to generate electricity that powers the truck.

Remondis says the hydrogen fuel-cell electric vehicle (FCEV) technology only results in water vapour emissions.

The truck is scheduled to be trialled in the Illawarra region of New South Wales from mid-2023, the first time such a truck has been trialled under commercial conditions in Australia.

“Remondis committing to this trial is a watershed moment as countries around the world try to shift to zero

emission transport outcomes,” Remondis Australia chairman Björn Becker says.

“It is a big step to invest in putting a zero-emission waste collection truck to the test in a commercial setting.

“Although we can’t pre-empt the trial outcomes, we’ve certainly placed a stake in the zero-emission space.

“A best-case scenario could be gradually replacing our global dieselpowered trucks with zero-emission trucks, which could set the scene for other companies to do the same.

“At the very least we’ll collect unprecedented information about what it takes to get closer to fleet decarbonisation.”

Remondis NSW South Coast Region Manager Chris Wade says the goal is to have the zero-emission truck match the capabilities of same-sized diesel-powered trucks.

“Efficiency is critical when it comes to waste collection, so we’ll be paying close attention to how the truck performs compared to our diesel trucks,” Wade says.

He says refuelling will be conducted at the Coregas facility at Port Kembla and is expected to take about 20 minutes.

Hyzon’s heavy-duty garbage

Remondis Australia’s Bjorn Becker and Hyzon Motors’ John Edgley

truck has been designed against the industry benchmark of a 200-kilometre range and 1,500 bin lifts per working day.

Last year Hyzon announced the development of Australia’s first purpose-built assembly plant in Melbourne’s South-East to manufacture hydrogen-powered trucks, including this one.

Hyzon president of international operations John Edgley says the trial is an Australian home-grown success story.

“It speaks volumes that Remondis, a global leader in the circular economy, has taken the lead by putting a zeroemission waste collection truck into commercial operation,” Edgley says.

“This particular truck – which we call our Heavy Rigid truck – has been developed in Australia as a global platform. It is adaptable for international markets with a multitude of vehicle use cases such as garbage compactors, tilt trays and flatbed trucks.”

The truck has been developed in partnership with Superior Pak, Australia’s leading manufacturer of world class mobile waste collection and compaction equipment.

UD is using the milestone to reflect on its decades of progress and innovation, and to look ahead to the next 50 years and beyond.

At this year’s Brisbane Truck Show, UD showed no signs of slowing down, launching innovative new products and features that were on display in and around the show.

From UD’s founding father Kenzo Adachi-san’s pursuit of Ultimate Dependability more than 85 years ago in Japan, UD says it’s extremely humbling for the brand to see its vision and mission remain as strong as ever in Australia since 1973 and UD’s continued commitment to going the extra mile to achieve better life for its people and the planet.

Over the decades, UD has proven time and time again that innovation is at the core of what it does, using industry challenges as motivation to develop, create and innovate.

The UD CK40 was the first model to hit Australia’s roads in 1973, and the decades to follow would see countless innovations including, among others, the release of its ESCOT AMT (Automatic Manual Transmission) that became the benchmark for the heavy-duty industry at that time, the world’s first commercialised radar laser collision prevention system, and the world’s

first selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system– a technology that revolutionised the industry’s emission reduction journey.

“Our latest products being launched here in Australia, and on display in and around the Brisbane Truck Show, is a clear sign that UD’s

incredibly strong history and drive to innovate is continuing,” UD Trucks Australia vice president Lauren Pulitano says.

UD had their new 8L Quon Agitator with ESCOT AMT on their stand, and also launched new advanced safety features and an enhanced 11L engine.

At the South Bank Truck Festival, UD displayed a new Quon CG 8x4 16 pallet extra-long wheelbase vehicle with an eye-catching curtain artwork and in Brisbane’s King George Square the brand set up a 3D artwork that showcased the brand’s 50 year journey in Australia.

Patterson Cheney stalwart retires Following 41 years of service, Patterson Cheney Trucks dealer principal Terry Jewson has announced his retirement In mid-April, on the same day Terry Jewson started working with Patterson Cheney Trucks, way back in 1982, he announced his retirement from the business.

The news marked the end of a 41-year stint with the dealership, and was celebrated with a number of presentations and events at the dealer’s Dandenong branch and Isuzu at Derrimut.

Reflecting on four decades of work, Jewson says early mentors like Alan Weston and David Cheney impressed upon him the importance of work ethic and maintaining relationships.

“With not only your customers but your staff also and the manufacturers you are dealing with,” Jewson says.

“A lot of that is absorbed early days when you first start work doing whatever it is you do and understanding what that work ethic is meant to be. There’s no magic pill.”

Jewson says loyalty and longevity of employment with one employer was not held in the same regard today as it was in previous generations.

“The younger ones tend to change jobs really quickly. I still struggle with that personally,” he says.

“There’s the thrill, for me, of dealing with customers both new and ongoing.

“We’re still dealing with customers that I’ve dealt with for 38 years.

We still have those wonderful relationships in place and that’s what it’s all about.”

As far as personal achievements go, Jewson is most satisfied with overseeing the construction of the Westar Truck Centre in Derrimut.

“It was a greenfield site on 17 acres of which we have developed 10 acres and it was state-of-the-art and it still is state-of-the-art dealership and it’s been in business for 13 years,” he says.

“It still looks the part and it means a hell of a lot to me.”

His career hasn’t been without its challenges, too. An example is in 2007 when Isuzu first introduced its Diesel Particulate Diffuser that required a whole new process put in place.

“They were first to market with that new technology and it was hard work,” Jewson says.

“That was not without its heartache, but we got over the hurdles very well because of the brand and the people we deal with within that brand.”

Jewson maintains that his favourite vehicle is still the Isuzu SBR422 series.

“It was the flavour of the month and really the favourite truck out there of nearly everybody,” he says.

“It was the truck to have. It was bulletproof and still is today.”

The advent of the internet and email has been the biggest seismic change in how business has been conducted in those 41 years.

“Back in my day when you were selling in you had to get off your bum and go visit the customer and go through the quote and all the rest of it,” he says.

Terry Jewson, pictured centre with his wife Julie and a commemorative trophy, celebrates his retirement with the Patterson Cheney team.

“Now everything is done by email, and you’ve got to make sure that you maintain those relationships in a different way.”

Prior to the conveniences of the internet, members of the sales team were not immune to extending themselves or their time to get a deal done in a physical world.

“Back in the day you’d be out at 10pm at night if you had to. I used to come into work and grab a truck and do demos on Sunday afternoons if I had to. Those are the things that you were prepared to do,” he says.

“I think things have changed to the degree that you no longer have to do those things either which probably is a better thing for your employees.”

The changes keep coming.

COVID redefined the business landscape. Jewson is still in awe how the business rallied to adapt to operations in Melbourne.

“How we coped for those two years without opening the front door was just amazing,” he says.

The future, for the moment, promises plenty of golf, more time with the grandchildren and his newfound hobby of making sausages.

In winter, he and his wife Julie will head to Cape York in Queensland for a well-earned holiday.

“We’re away all of July and August and come back just in time to see Collingwood play in the Grand Final,” Jewson says.

Super-sized cabs add a premium touch for Scania drivers Australia is leading the way when it comes to driving demand for up-sized cabs on the Scania R-Series trucks Depending on what you’re measuring, 270mm may or may not mean a lot.

In the world of truck cabins, an extra 270mm could be the difference between rolling into bed with minimum fuss, or spending time shuffling seats and folding out mattresses.

For drivers who spend a lot of time on the road, sleeping in their trucks, size does matter – at least that’s the feedback Scania Trucks Australia is receiving in the form of orders for its CR23 cab variant.

Scania Australia’s director of sales Benjamin Nye says the CR23 cab raises the bar for premium trucks in Australia to a new level.

“We have blended some of the capabilities from our four-door Scania CrewCab into our R-series premium cab, adding generous

space that brings extra comfort,” Nye says.

The CR23 cab has had 27cm added to the initial length of 200 cm (which is measured from the pedals to the rear wall), an increase of more than 13 per cent.

The extra space has been created

by Scania reconfiguring its existing cab components, made possible by the manufacturers use of a modular system.

In the CR23 cab, the Scania expandable bed can be pulled out to 100cm wide and no longer needs to be retracted to move the seats back into a driving position, allowing the bed to remain made up, all day.

“Since we announced the creation of the CR23 to the Australian market in 2021 we have received many serious enquiries from existing customers, such that we (Australia)

Aussie truckies’ desires for a bigger sleeper set up have been heard

are undoubtedly the biggest global market for this variant,” Nye says.

“The factory has been working flatout to meet our demand, and the first examples have already arrived and been delivered to their very excited new owners and drivers.

“Despite the extra length of the body and extra metal, the recent weight reduction programmes within the V8 engine and all new alloy transmission ranges, means we continue to comply with Australia’s front axle weight limits.”

Nye says Scania has listened to drivers across a range of markets, particularly Australia, when it developed the new cab variant.

“The most obvious benefit is of course for long-distance drivers, they are always on the lookout for comfortable premium solutions,” Nye says.

Weight savings in the new V8 engine and alloy transmission have helped Scania to offer a bigger cab and stay under front axle weight limits in Australia

Penske goes big in NZ Penske New Zealand has opened a massive new sales and service centre in Tauranga, New Zealand Heavy vehicle brand Penske New Zealand opened the doors of its brand-new Tauranga facility on May 1, providing full retail sales, parts and service support for the Western Star Trucks, MAN Truck & Bus, Dennis Eagle, mtu, and Detroit brands in New Zealand.

The purpose-built building comprises 2,548 sqm of workshop space, a 448 sqm parts warehouse and 745 sqm of retail and office space, including a drivers’ lounge.

Situated on 14,381 sqm of land, the state-of-the-art facility houses

eleven 30-metre truck bays, three pre-delivery inspection bays, a transport engineering workshop, a 30-metre drive-through wash bay, a full-length service pit and two flush-mounted 24-metre tandem full vehicle hoists.

“Our team in Tauranga is very excited to be relocating to our new branch next week and welcoming our customers to a bespoke facility,” Penske New Zealand branch manager of Tauranga Tim Geenty says.

“Our purpose-built infrastructure

will allow us to deliver exceptional customer service now and into the future.”

Penske New Zealand country manager Brent Warner says the new branch formed a key part of the organisation’s future plans.

“Further to the opening of our brand-new Christchurch facility in 2019, with our new Tauranga site we are demonstrating our commitment to the New Zealand market and our customers,” he says.

“Penske New Zealand has bold growth plans, and our investment in our people and locations is integral to that.”

Penske New Zealand’s new facility is located at 115 Kaweroa Drive, Omanawa, Tauranga.

Fuso has issued a recall for Shogun 525 models from 2021 to 2022 that inadvertently left the factory without a vehicle approval label

Missing stickers prompt Fuso Shogun recall The lack of a vehicle type approval label on engines has prompted a recall of certain models of Daimler’s Fuso Shogun from 2021 to 2022 Owners of 2021 to 2022 Fuso Shogun models have been encouraged to check with their VIN numbers against recall number REC-005656 to see if they need a visit to their local Daimler Dealer for a sticker upgrade.

A recall notice was issued on April 24 by the Department of

Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts (https://www.vehiclerecalls. gov.au/recalls/rec-005656) after it was identified that 525 trucks have been released without a vehicle type approval label affixed to the engines.

The statement reads: “In the absence of the necessary labelling, vehicles may not meet required standards in line with state and territories in Australia.

“This may impact a vehicle inspection or impact the sale of the vehicle. There are no safety hazards.”

The recall affects FP74, FS72, FS76, FV70, and FV74 variants of the Fuso Shogun, in the year range 2021 – 2022.

Owners of affected vehicle should contact their authorised Daimler Commercial Vehicle Dealership to make arrangements to have the work carried out as soon as possible, free of charge. Phone 1800 033 557 or email DTBCampaigns@daimlertruck.com.

Right truck helps with job weld done Keeping business on the roll for Outtasite welding in Hobart is as simple as jumping behind the wheel of the company’s light truck and hitting the road Have welding gear, will travel.

For more than 10 years Brendon and Amanda Wass have been rolling out to help customers with their welding and handyman needs in and around Hobart in Tasmania.

With a focus on mobile welding repair and field service work, their business, Outtasite, has built a

reputation for getting the job done, including small scale building services and carpentry too.

Brendon, or ‘Wassy’ as he is known is able to turn his hand to all manner of tasks, be it fabricating an excavation attachment or repairing plant equipment in the regions.

He’s backed by his wife Amanda,

who coordinates the back end of the busy business.

“Wassy does a lot of odds and sods.

Welding, of course, earth moving, repairs…he can do it all,” she says.

“We haven’t really had to advertise too much, it’s all word of mouth, which has been great.”

With business on the up the couple

have recently added another team member, Marcus, who has come on as a first year apprentice while finishing year 10 at high school.

“He’s doing really good work,” Amanda says.

“He only started with us this year because he did some work experience with us. We were pretty keen to put him on because he’s doing such great work already.”

On the equipment side, Outtasite operates off the back of an Isuzu NPS 75-155 4x4 cab chassis truck.

They bought it new in 2021, a milestone for the couple in their life journey.

“Of course, our first ever new vehicle was a truck,” Amanda says.

The truck has been kitted out to handle rough conditions – conditions Amanda says are all part of a day’s work around Tassie.

The NPS 75-155 features Isuzu’s automated manual transmission. It’s Australia’s first two-pedal 4x4 light duty truck and is extremely popular with Australia’s emergency services and fire-fighting community.

It is powered by Isuzu’s fourcylinder 4HK1-TCN engine, producing 114 kW (155 horsepower) @ 2,600 rpm and torque of 419 Nm @ 1,600 – 2,600 rpm.

The truck features a crane fitted to a custom-built tray, put together by none other than Wassy himself.

“I tell people the truck was made by a welder for a welder,” Amanda says.

“He knew exactly how he wanted it, and he likes things to be perfect. I think that attention to detail is why we’ve never had a great need to do much advertising. Word always spreads about the quality of his work.”

Wassy and their mobile welding truck were recently plastered across a giant billboard in Hobart, after the business won the Tasmanian division of the Isuzu 50th Anniversary Billboard Competition.

“We’re really happy with the billboard. It was a fantastic opportunity,” Amanda says.

“We took our young son out to see it and he was so excited.”

Wassy has been plying his trade for more than a decade, after completing an apprenticeship with the Tasmanian Fire Service. His tenure and experience are well known and his eye for detail and hard work are renowned in the area.

With Amanda’s knack for business strategy, Wassy’s deft hand on the tools and the recent addition of the NPS 75-155, Outtasite continues to go from strength to strength.

Volvo on top of EV sales The data is in and Volvo Trucks is dominating the global electric truck market Volvo Trucks says it is maintaining its position at the front of heavy electric truck sales after the first quarter of 2023 in both Europe and North America.

In total, the Swedish truck manufacturer has sold almost 5,000 electric trucks in about 40 countries.

Now, its electric product range is being made available in new markets in Asia, Latin America and Africa.

During the first quarter of 2023, a total of 600 electric trucks weighing 16 tonnes and more were registered in Europe – more than four times compared to the same period in 2022 (134). Volvo Trucks says it has the largest market share of this at 50 per cent, an increase compared on 2022, when the company’s market share for the full year was 32 per cent.

Volvo Trucks also maintains a leading position in North America, with nearly half of the heavy electric truck market.

“Our commitment to sustainable transport is clearly paying off. We are

determined to work closely together with our customers to decarbonise truck transport,” Volvo Trucks president Roger Alm says.

The markets with the most electric trucks registered overall (including all brands) during the first quarter of 2023 were Germany, France, the Netherlands and the US. Volvo Trucks saw a strong increase in new truck orders during the first quarter of 2023 with a total of 486 electric trucks ordered, an increase of 141 per cent compared to the same period in 2022. Most of these orders came from countries in the northern part of Europe, including the Netherlands, Germany, Norway and Sweden.

During 2023, the company will start to sell electric trucks to customers in South Africa, South Korea, India and markets in Latin America.

Last year, Volvo added the three most popular 44-tonne heavy-duty trucks to its electric lineup: the Volvo FH, the Volvo FM and the Volvo FMX.

With these new additions, Volvo Trucks has six electric truck models in series production, giving it the industry’s most extensive portfolio of zero exhaust emission trucks.

Currently, Volvo Trucks is scaling up production of electric trucks at three plants: in Gothenburg, Sweden; in Blainville, France; and in New River Valley, US. In the third quarter of 2023, serial production will also start at Volvo’s largest factory in Ghent, Belgium.

Volvo Trucks says thousands of public charging points for heavy trucks will be needed to scale up the volumes of electric trucks.

Volvo Group will, together with Daimler and Traton, build at least 1,700 high-performance green energy public chargers all around Europe. The group is also investing in a charging corridor in North America.

Volvo Trucks is aiming for 50 per cent of global sales of new trucks to be electric in 2030 and 100 per cent to be net-zero emission by 2040.

Diagnostics: Open Road A six per cent a year increase in Road User Charges for the next three years was an unwelcome element of the Federal Budget

Road User Charge hike puts spotlight on the bigger picture If transport operators are going to pay more to use the roads, let’s at least make sure the money goes where it’s needed most Now is the time to radically re-think the way government extracts its pound of flesh from the trucking industry.

By now you will be aware that the Road User Charge is increasing by six per cent in the 2023-24 financial year, and by the same percentage in the two years after that.

NatRoad’s preference was for the charge to be frozen for a year and for the increase to be limited to 2.75 per cent in the two years after that.

The RUC is the percentage government puts on top of the price of diesel fuel purchased for heavy vehicles involved in commercial activities. You pay it as you go.

The money raised, along with part of the registration charges levied by States and Territories, is funnelled back into road maintenance and repairs, and pays for the operations of the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator.

The rate of annual increase is collectively set by Federal. State and Territory ministers, and the distribution of funds is largely based on past expenditure.

NatRoad has long argued that it’s nuts to continue with a system that determines cost responsibility based on previous spending.

It produces a situation where RUC charges can be driven by how much a government can spend, rather than how much it should spend, based on need.

Let me give you an example.

Warren Clark, CEO of the National Road Transport Association

We all know the country has been lashed by extreme weather. Floods cut off sections of remote Western Australia and devastated freight routes connecting much of the eastern states.

The Feds and states have thrown hundreds of millions of dollars at the problem, pushing funding down to the local government level to patch and fill potholes and repair road shoulders.

There comes a time (and I’d suggest it’s now) when topping up annual road maintenance spending isn’t enough.

Money needs to go where it makes the most strategic sense.

A state’s slice of the RUC pie should not be determined by its size, and thus its ability to spend.

Sometimes the need to spend more on road maintenance or sealing outweighs the desire for nice new roads where a Minister can turn a sod or cut a ribbon.

The politicians would have it that determining the rate of annual rises in the RUC over three financial years enables our industry to plan ahead.

They’re correct but it’s the distribution method that’s not working.

There’s also the question of industry’s ability to pay.

Not every operator has the ability to pass on costs to their customers and, by default, consumers.

I don’t resile from saying that the hike in the RUC will be a death knell for those operators who are already struggling to make ends meet.

You only have to look at the barrage of issues that have confronted our industry over the last few years to understand why some are saying “enough is enough”.

State governments need to re-assess how they recover costs from all road users because their cut of fuel excise will quickly dry up as electric vehicles become the norm rather than the exception.

At the time of writing, there was a High Court judgement pending that would determine how states tax electric and hybrid vehicles.

Once that’s clear, it’s time for a special meeting of the states to make some hard decisions.

By all means give each of them a share, but what about consolidating a proportion of revenue in a fund and applying it to critical freight routes that need urgent attention?

The old arguments about each state looking after itself will surface, so let’s agree on a transparent formula.

Let’s use the expertise of road users, logistics experts, safety advocates, engineers and planners, and put Infrastructure Australia’s priorities into the mix.

It’s not a matter of state against state. If road freight doesn’t move efficiently through, say, South Australia, don’t consumers in Victoria and Western Australia suffer?

Casino show’s decade of fun With less than 70 days to go until the gates open on the 2023 Casino Truck Show the excitement is building among organisers and sponsors North Coast Petroleum has signed on as the major sponsor of this year’s Casino Truck Show as organisers plan for record crowds to mark the event’s 10th year.

To be held in the Casino CBD on Saturday, August 5, this year’s show promises to be a celebrating of all things trucks and transport, with extra entertainment on top.

Richmond Valley Council’s Service Delivery director Angela Jones says last year’s Casino Truck Show was the biggest yet with an estimated 8000 people attending, and the expectation was more entries, and more people would attend this year.

Jones says surviving 10 years as a regional event was no small feat, and even more impressive when you throw a global pandemic into the fray.

However, she says, that’s exactly what the Casino Truck Show was celebrating - an entire decade of showcasing an industry which kept the country moving.

“We couldn’t be prouder to host such a dynamic event, which over the past 10 years has opened up our beautiful town and the Richmond Valley to the rest of Australia,” Jones says.

“Since its inception in 2011 - we lost two years to COVID-19 - the Casino Truck Show has developed a reputation as the greatest truck show in the southern hemisphere.

“We are delighted to again welcome North Coast Petroleum as naming rights sponsor and are thankful for the support and encouragement of the many other

North Coast Petroleum owner Mick McKinlay and Casino Truck Show organiser Darren Goodwin shake on the local trucking company’s continued support for the event as Richmond Valley Council’s Events Team look on.

sponsors who have come on board this year.”

Entertainment for this year’s show includes the Country Mud Band, AirtimeFMX, and the Wildlife Twins.

There will also be plenty of kid-friendly activities such as amusement rides and face painting, a wide range of exhibitors showcasing industry-related products and services, and a range of food vans and market stallholders.

Online registrations and market stall applications will open Thursday 1 June.

Airport access road on track

Aerial view of construction on the M12 motorway.

Image: Transport for NSW

A new motorway to the future Western Sydney Airport has reached one year of construction The federal government says a new toll-free motorway for easy connection to the future Western Sydney International (Nancy-Bird Walton) Airport has reached a major construction milestone, with work now underway for a year.

The new 16-kilometre road is on track to open in 2026 and is a $2 billion investment in Western Sydney being funded by the federal and New South Wales governments.

Expected to carry 52,000 vehicles per day by 2036, the new road will have connectivity via Elizabeth Drive to the east and The Northern Road to the west.

Current works are being delivered by contractors Seymour Whyte along the central section and CPB-Georgiou Group Joint Venture through the western section of the future

motorway with more than 2000 people being directly or indirectly employed.

Major construction on the M12 will be complete prior to the opening of the new Western Sydney International Airport in 2026.

“This road is an essential part of the strategy to ensure Western Sydney International Airport enjoys good transport connections from the outset,” federal transport minister Catherine King says.

“It is also an important part of a wider plan to ensure those connections help the surrounding areas to encourage future employment opportunities as the Western Parkland City grows.”

NSW roads minister John Graham says it’s exciting to see construction underway, with road grading works

taking place and culverts and bridges being constructed while complex interchanges start to take shape.

“To understand why this road is essential to the success of the new airport you need to remember it will take more than a quarter of an hour off the journey if you were to use the existing road network which is primarily Elizabeth Drive,” Graham says.

“It has also been built to accommodate future freight movements and growing economic zones such as the Aerotropolis and employment zones stretching from Liverpool to Erskine Park and beyond.

“Importantly, the M12 will also take traffic off Elizabeth Drive, giving the road back to the local communities that rely on it for their day-to-day needs.”

Truckside safety messages Centurion trucks are displaying new safety campaigns to keep drivers on WA regional roads safe A fleet of 30 Centurion trucks have been fitted with new roving road safety billboards before they head off on regional and remote Western Australian roads.

The trucks, unveiled by the Road Safety Commission, will display the Commission’s latest campaigns, ‘Don’t drift off’ and ‘No one plans a crash’, on the side and back of the trucks to deliver important road safety messages where

they’re needed most – on regional roads.

The Road Safety Commission says every year approximately two thirds of the state’s road fatalities occur in regional areas and 2022 was no different, with 64 per cent of people who died on WA roads being killed in the regions.

Single vehicles crashing into an object, often a tree, were the most common type of crash, accounting for 48 per cent of fatalities. While there are many factors

that can cause a vehicle to leave the road, fatigue can and does play a role.

At 13-metres long, the trucks will be highly visible to regional drivers as they transport groceries and other essentials from Perth to the north of the state.

They will be on the road during the busy April school holiday period and visible to locals and were out and about for visitors travelling to view the Total Solar Eclipse in Exmouth on April 20.

The robust wrapping materials used by The Vision Group will allow the messages to be visible on WA roads for up to three years.

Heavy vehicle mods timeline The HVIA has helped the NHVR update the Heavy Vehicle Modifications National Code of Practice for the Australian transport industry The Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia (HVIA) has announced that the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) has updated its National Code of Practice when it comes to modifications.

After spending the past few years working with the HVIA on this, the NHVR has now released its update to the National Code of Practice for Heavy Vehicle Modifications (VSB6).

The HVIA says the changes to this version of VSB6 include new information on tipper body design, tow truck design and box or top hat chassis section modifications, plus updates to existing codes with new diagrams to address issues identified in previous VSB6 versions.

The work on finalising the changes to

Modifications on tow trucks and tippers are in the spotlight

the code was completed in 2022 but the commencement date has been under negotiation between the NHVR and the states.

The NHVR has now published version 3.2 and announced a commencement date of July 1, 2023, for the new version of the code.

The HVIA says its members using VSB6 should familiarise themselves with the changes to the code and any changes to Approved Vehicle Examiners (AVE) eligibility to sign of modifications which will result from the changes.

HVIA members who are not familiar with the proposed changes to the tipper and tow truck codes are welcome to contact Greg Forbes and Adam Ritzinger with any feedback or questions.

Fuel cost fears Transport operators have made it clear – fuel costs are their biggest concern The skyrocketing price of diesel fuel is the single most pressing issue of concern identified by transport industry operators in a recent economic viability pulse check survey by the National Road Transport Association (NatRoad).

Some 93 per cent of operators surveyed by the organisation identified fuel prices as “very important” or “important” when evaluating their biggest pain point.

Almost six-in-ten say complying with regulation rates as “important” (32 per cent) or “very important” (37 per cent), and labour costs are a “very important” or “important” issue for 59 per cent of firms.

NatRoad CEO Warren Clark says his organisation commissioned the work by economists HoustonKemp Economists last year to establish what factors are determining viability in the transport industry and how companies can be more successful.

The research canvassed the views of 169 firms, most, but not all, of them NatRoad members, and was sponsored by Ampol.

More than half of the respondents employ fewer than 10 drivers and earn revenue of less than $2 million per annum.

“These people are the heart and soul of our industry and their views count,” Clark says.

“We hear a lot about economic viability, so we wanted to use economists to define exactly what it means and where we are going.”

Clark says it was no surprise that the high cost of fuel is the top worry for so many businesses.

“The HoustonKemp analysis shows fuel costs increased by 45 per cent in 2021-22 with a sharp spike from March 2022,” he says.

“Diesel prices in 2022-23 so far are higher than those observed in 2021-22 and are likely to be even higher in 2022-23.

“This is an issue that is driven by global factors and isn’t going away soon. Governments can’t fix it, but they can consider the burden it imposes to what is an essential service and look to provide relief elsewhere.”

Brent Merrick, Ampol Executive General Manager, International and New Business, says Ampol will continue to support transport businesses as they navigate industry challenges.

“We understand that fuel is a significant expense for many transport businesses and that rising costs remain a challenge across the freight sector,” Merrick says.

“We continue to work with NatRoad to deliver fuel savings to member businesses, acknowledging that fuel prices are largely determined by global markets.”

The study examined labour costs between 2015- 16 and 2021-22 to run a 9-axle B-double travelling 250,000 km per year. It found they had been relatively stable, with yearly changes ranging from between 1.7 per cent and 3.5 per cent.

NatRoad says labour costs are expected to increase by five per cent in 2022-23, however, due to an increase in the award wage and a rise in the superannuation rate.

Help turn trucks green The HVIA has partnered with other associations to call for a National Zero Emission Truck Strategy following the recent zero emissions vehicle strategy The Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia (HVIA) has joined forces with the Electric Vehicle Council (EVC), Australian Trucking Association (ATA) and the Australian Hydrogen Council to advocate for government direction and support for electrification that goes beyond light vehicles, the focus of the government’s first National Electric Vehicle Strategy launched in May. While the strategy and commitment to a Fuel Efficiency Standard is a major step for Australia, the HVIA says the freight and transport industry believes trucks and logistics will be left in the slow lane to decarbonisation if the scope of government policy isn’t expanded.

The HVIA says the freight and logistics transport sector contributes 38 per cent of Australia’s transport emissions and that while Australia has a legislated commitment to net zero emissions, there is no plan for reducing emissions from road freight.

The Australian trucking industry faces significant barriers to the adoption of zero-emission trucks,

including vehicle design rules, lack of electric truck recharging and hydrogen refuelling infrastructure and a temporary, but significantly higher, upfront cost.

The HVIA says the federal government should: • Develop a national zero-emission truck strategy • Sign the global memorandum of understanding on zero-emission trucks to set clear climate ambition for medium and heavy vehicles • Fix the regulatory barriers (i.e. width and axle mass limits) to zero-emission trucks to increase vehicle model supply • Increase investment in electric recharging and hydrogen refuelling infrastructure for trucks • Implement a purchase price incentive for zero-emission trucks • Fund and implement an upskilling and reskilling plan to ensure the preparedness of the workforce to transition to a zero-emission fleet.

As an organisation in strong support of a zero-emissions future, IKEA Australia backs the industry’s call for government to support the

decarbonisation of the commercial logistics sector.

“Freight is a big part of Australia’s decarbonisation journey with unique challenges. It’s essential for this industry to have dedicated policy support that would enable retailers, vehicle manufacturers, transport service providers and owner-drivers to make the transition to zero emissions delivery,” IKEA Australia zero emissions delivery lead Alexandra Kelly says.

“As the first home-furnishing retailer in Australia to use electric vehicles for deliveries with our transport service providers, we are committed to achieving 100 per cent zero emissions delivery by 2025, but we cannot do it alone. More is needed to build confidence in the sector that now is the time to electrify.”

The freight and transport industry welcomes the opening of consultation on light vehicle fuel efficiency standards to improve the supply of low and zero-emission light vehicles, including for commercial fleets.

The HVIA says the industry directly employs more than 70,000 people and provides some of the world’s most efficient, safe, innovative and technologically-advanced vehicles.

In 2019, IKEA became the first home furnishing retailer in Australia to implement electric vehicles for home deliveries and assembly services.

Since then, the company has worked with its delivery partners including ANC Delivers, Kings Transport and All Purpose Transport to implement home deliveries with electric vehicles across Australia.

Their goal is for 100 per cent of transport for customer deliveries and services to use electric vehicles (EV) or other zero-emission solutions by 2025.

NSW toll review underway With temporary toll caps in place in NSW, the government has launched a review of the system The NSW government says an independent review of tolling in NSW will look to streamline motorway pricing across Sydney to make toll roads simpler and fairer.

The review, led by Professor Allan Fels and Dr David Cousins, will examine: • The structure and level of tolls in NSW in the future, looking at their efficiency, fairness, simplicity and transparency, existing agreements with providers and the impact on all forms of transport; • The extent to which tolls should reflect the capital and operating costs of roads, the impact different users have on road sustainability and the use of roads throughout the day; • The appropriate targeting of relief to provide fairness for the whole community and how to ensure the community, rather than toll road owners, benefit from toll relief; • Whether tolls are understandable, simple for motorists to pay and administratively efficient to collect; • The scope for competition and regulation to influence road tolls

and the efficiency of service performance by providers.

The NSW government says Fels and Cousins will lead a cross-agency steering committee guiding the review.

A public discussion paper will be released mid-year, followed by public hearings in the second half of 2023.

Submissions will be sought from the public and industry stakeholders.

A final report will be released publicly before cabinet considers its recommendations.

Separately, the NSW government is set to introduce a $60 a week toll cap for motorists in NSW from the start of next year. This will be on top of the existing Toll Relief Rebate Scheme, which provides eligible drivers the ability to claim a 40 per cent rebate up to a cap.

“As the terms of reference of the toll review clearly state, toll relief must be aimed squarely at motorists and the community, not the owners of toll roads in NSW,” NSW roads minister John Graham says.

“I expect the review and subsequent overhaul of the toll network to make

toll roads simpler and fairer for motorists who use them most.

“Addressing congestion and costof-living pressures, particularly for regular commuters without viable public transport alternatives, is another focus.

“Tolling in NSW is inconsistent, with different pricing rates, methods of calculating charges and vehicle classifications depending on the road, making it confusing for motorists.”

NSW treasurer Daniel Mookhey says the review will focus on negotiating with tolling operators to gain better deals for road users and providing targeted relief for those who use toll roads most, like transport operators.

“This is a significant policy review which will look at long term reform options to overhaul the tolling system including competition concerns, moving freight on toll roads at night and public transport on toll roads,” Mookhey says.

Volvo has discontinued the acquisition of a truck manufacturing operation in China

China deal abandoned A failure to come to agreement on key issues has led Volvo Trucks to step away from a planned acquisition of a Chinese vehicle brand and its manufacturing site Volvo Trucks has announced it has discontinued the acquisition of a heavy-duty truck manufacturing operation in China.

Volvo says it and Jiangling Motors won’t pursue the previously announced transaction involving the acquisition of JMC Heavy Duty Vehicle and its manufacturing site in Taiyuan, which is situated in the Chinese province of Shanxi.

It says the two parties won’t pursue the transaction due to the closing conditions of the transaction not being met.

In the meantime, Volvo Trucks president Roger Alm says Volvo will continue to export trucks to customers in China.

“Volvo Trucks has a long history of successful business activities in China. We have great opportunities in the Chinese market and we will continue the efforts to develop our presence,” Alm says.

“Our long-term ambition is to grow our business and continue delivering our high-quality trucks to customers in China, together with our dealer partners in the country.”

Smart motorways investigation Following a controversial smart motorway safety call in the UK, the NTRO says the designs are still the safest way forward for the transport industry The National Transport Research Organisation (NTRO) has provided its thoughts on the best way for Australia to go regarding smart motorways.

It has been widely reported that the building of new smart motorways in England has been cancelled as UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak acknowledges concerns about safety and cost. A total of 14 smart motorways will be removed from government road-building plans in the wake of drop in public trust after fatal incidents in which vehicles stopped in live lanes, without a hard shoulder, and were hit from behind.

The NTRO says smart motorway is a general term for three designs: controlled motorways (CM), that have signals on the on-ramps to measure the rate of vehicles entering the motorway and avoid oversaturation, dynamic hard shoulder running (DHSR), where the shoulder lane is only opened to traffic during high traffic demand periods and all lane running (ALR), where the shoulder lane is permanently open to traffic as a running lane, such as what is seen in the UK.

With differences between the designs, the NTRO says Australia uses the CM approach to maintain the shoulder and improve road safety by avoiding merging hazards.

The DHSR approach is frequently deployed in Germany and the Netherlands and has also been proven to improve road safety.

“Smart motorways, if designed and operated properly, increase productivity and also road safety,” the NTRO says.

“No shortcuts must be taken to avoid careful and sometimes timeconsuming planning and design or complex motorway operation.

“The mechanisms of crash occurrence and flow-breakdown leading to congestion must be understood to develop and apply suitable countermeasures.”

The NTRO says it’ll continue contributing to knowledge to help realising the best smart motorway approaches.

Based off its own experience, the NTRO says it has advice for the most suitable smart motorway designs and can train staff on all aspects of planning, design and operation.

HVIA feedback loop State committee meetings hosted by the Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia (HVIA) to provide focus for the rest of the year

Slow road of reform NatRoad says more needs to be done to progress changes to the Heavy Vehicle National Law in Australia The National Road Transport Association (NatRoad) says it has made slow but steady progress in the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) reform process.

The process, which aims to improve heavy vehicle productivity, access arrangements and safety regulations in Australia, has resulted in proposed reforms agreed upon by the federal government, NSW, Tasmania, SA, WA, Queensland, Northern Territory and Victoria.

NatRoad says now non-legislative agency leads have been appointed to implement recommendations and drive the reform agenda forward.

NSW is leading a working group for expediting the National Access Framework for heavy vehicles, with data collection underway to identify where access can be improved for the road freight industry.

The National Transport Commission (NTC) is part of this reform, updating the law to clarify roles with access decisions.

Queensland will coordinate the work, with participating jurisdictions responsible for updating documents in their areas, including the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR).

NatRoad says the NHVR is the lead agency for future recommendations with the HVNL, working closely with industry stakeholders and road managers to implement changes

that enhance productivity while maintaining safety standards.

The federal government, NSW and Tasmania will also be working with the Austroads freight taskforce to set targets to implement any new arrangements within three to five years.

NatRoad says improvements are also being promised to the Performance Based Standards (PBS) scheme, including fatigue detection and distraction technology.

The NHVR will facilitate access approval and accept input from participating jurisdictions, while legislative reform leads will be responsible for overlaps with legislative reforms.

This should improve the safety and productivity of heavy vehicles through modern technologies and updated standards.

“In summary, reform should deliver significant improvements in productivity, access arrangements and safety regulations. NatRoad will keep advocating for practical change grounded in the real-life experience of its members,” NatRoad says.

“After years of delay, we remain concerned about the pace of the process and the possibility of it becoming bogged down, so if you have questions or feedback please speak to a NatRoad Advisor.”

The Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia (HVIA) says it received strong engagement from members at state committee meetings held in WA, Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria recently.

HVIA Chief Technical Officer Adam Ritzinger says it was great to have members sharing their views on matters important to them at the committee meetings.

He said another positive was the chance the meetings presented for members to come together and get to know each other in a networking sense.

“Those in attendance both learned and contributed to a diverse range of key policy, technical, and regulatory issues,” Ritzinger says.

Several recurring viewpoints expressed by members included: • That the proposed new electric and hydrogen vehicle ADRs must not disadvantage Australian manufacturers; • That the lack of functionality in ROVER causes headaches and adds extra administration; • That progress on the HVNL review is frustratingly slow and lack of opportunity for industry voice is concerning; • And the lack of political decisions regarding truck/trailer width amendments are exasperating.

“HVIA staff will continue to advocate on behalf of members on all of these issues, and particularly truck/trailer width,” Ritzinger says.

WA attendees heard from David Hosie (Manager of Vehicle Safety and Standards, Department of Transport WA) on WA’s transition to the National Code of Practice for Heavy Vehicle Modifications.

Queensland, NSW, and Victorian attendees heard from Gavin Hill (General Manager Strategy and Delivery, Transport Certification Australia) on changes to Smart On-Board Mass Monitoring for states operating under the Heavy Vehicle National Law. The next round of State Committee meetings will be held in July after Brisbane Truck Show.

Short term fill in at ARTC An Inland Rail expert will take over as chair of the ARTC for three months to help accelerate the project The Australian Rail Track Corporation, combined with the federal government, has announced the appointment of Dr Kerry Schott as the new ARTC acting chair for three months.

Schott will take over the ARTC for the period following her involvement in the Inland Rail review. She will replace Peter Duncan, who told the ARTC last week he would be taking a three month leave of absence to serve as acting secretary of the department of the Premier and Cabinet in NSW. The federal government says it is a sign of how much Duncan’s expertise is valued that he has been asked to take on this role, with the ARTC sure his advice will be appreciated by Premier Minns.

Schott recently concluded a significant review of Inland Rail and is perfectly placed to oversee the initial implementation of the recommendations she made and the government accepted.

During her three-month tenure, Schott will focus on recruiting a permanent CEO of Inland Rail and addressing the governance and board capability shortcomings her report outlined.

“We are grateful to Dr Schott for agreeing to undertake this important task and we look forward to welcoming Mr Duncan back to the role later in the year,” the federal government says.

Calls for freight review ALC Summit finds more needs to be done to improve the nation’s freight routes if costs are to be controlled The Australian Logistics Council (ALC) is calling for serious problems across Australia’s supply chains to be addressed with an updated national freight strategy to ensure economic competitiveness and avoid significant costs for consumers, according to the leaders of the nation’s major logistics companies.

The ALC’s Supply Chain Summit held recently in Brisbane called for an urgent review of Australia’s national freight strategy with a focus on harmonising state border freight regulations and ensuring major infrastructure projects are properly connected to freight distribution points.

“The freight logistics industry kept Australia supplied during COVID, despite severe impediments,” ALC CEO Hermione Parsons says.

“Now we are facing ongoing increases in global supply chain costs, rising fuel costs, a need to decarbonise, skilled workforce shortages and significant impacts from climate change and shortcomings in infrastructure planning.

“Freight costs increased substantially during COVID and export and import air and sea freight will remain at least double 2019 prices for the foreseeable future.

Transport costs directly hit the cost of living and, if they are not addressed, every Australian will pay the price.”

CEO of logistics giant QUBE Holdings Paul Digney says it’s vital to act now to ensure the resilience of supply chains and refresh the National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy, “to ensure it is fit for the future, and acting to address gaps in infrastructure”.

Linfox Logistics CEO Mark Mazurek says: “for Australian supply chains to succeed in the global marketplace amidst rising fuel costs, we must prioritise the interconnectivity of critical hard and soft infrastructure”.

Parson says infrastructure planning was raised as a big issue in the last freight strategy in 2019 but little has improved.

“Inland Rail’s freight terminals in Melbourne and Brisbane should have been determined when the project began, we are still waiting, and now there are questions over funding.”

The ALC CEO says the amount of protected, vacant industrial land in Australian cities was the lowest in the world and falling.

“Land scarcity is forcing logistics facilities further away from transport routes meaning more trips, emissions and higher costs,” she says.

“The volume of Australia’s urban freight is projected to grow by 60 per cent by 2040.

“We cannot grow our economy without having industrial land in the right place, with the right infrastructure to enable it.”

Hydrogen hit at Newcastle Port of Newcastle is turning green and winning awards along the way Port of Newcastle has joined forces with 10 global energy enablers to commit to the Platform Zero Global Partnership for Hydrogen Innovation – a collaborative global partnership to support hydrogen innovation.

CEO Craig Carmody and chief commercial officer Simon Byrnes signed a Memorandum of Understanding at the World Hydrogen Summit in the Netherlands to accelerate the renewable energy transition with Platform Zero, Port of Rotterdam, the City of Rotterdam as well as key universities and innovation hubs from around the world.

“We are delighted to be collaborating with such a strong cohort of leaders in this space and to be a leading voice for our sector and region as the only Australian port represented among these global energy industry enablers,” Port of Newcastle CEO Craig Carmody says.

“This partnership is another milestone of our diversification strategy.

“It puts Port of Newcastle at the table alongside like-minded global leaders in the sector, enabling us to work together to develop and scale innovative hydrogen technologies

and overcome key bottlenecks to enable the hydrogen and clean energy transition and trade pathways.”

Chief Commercial Officer Simon Byrnes says partnerships like these will be key to scaling up a clean energy trade pathway at Port of Newcastle.

“Within the Platform Zero partnership, universities will contribute through developing the relevant new technologies and solutions, where ports, like Port of Newcastle, and innovation hubs, will develop infrastructure to support storage, transportation and scaling of innovative hydrogen technologies that enable the clean energy transition,” he says.

“As the designated NSW hydrogen hub, we are at the forefront of creating a new economy – one which faces many technological challenges in order to make it scalable, economical, reliable and safe.

“So, collaborating with other innovators who are developing and scaling new technologies will be the key enabler for a hydrogen economy.”

Platform Zero founder Mare Straetmans says he’s proud to bring together ports, universities

Port of Newcastle CEO Craig Carmody signs on for Platform Zero

“Australia is a critical partner in the development of a green hydrogen economy. By sharing knowledge and best practices on innovation ecosystems for hydrogen, these 10 organisations from around the world will share, scale and support hydrogen innovation and each contribute to the global acceleration of this economy,” he says.

Port of Newcastle was also recognised this week as one of four finalists at the World Hydrogen 2023 Awards in the Port of the Future Award category. The win went to the Netherlands Port of Rotterdam.

The other finalists were Denmark’s Port of Esbjerg, Port of Roenne, and the winner, Port of Rotterdam from the Netherlands.

“Although we did not win the category, the fact the world’s largest coal port is sitting alongside such progressive ports as a finalist at the World’s Hydrogen Awards, is a clear indication Port of Newcastle’s diversification journey is heading in the right direction,” Carmody says.

He will be building the foundations for the company’s strategic mission to accelerate smart, sustainable solutions for the road ahead.

“I am delighted to be appointed president of alternative fuels at such an

exciting time in Angi’s nearly 40 years’ history,” van Rensburg says.

“My team and I are looking forward to delivering truly best-in-class alternative fuel technologies spanning hardware, software and services to our valued customers around the world, as well as offering our expertise and advice on how to decarbonise road transportation and to maximise opportunities and move with the changing market trends”.

In his new role, van Rensburg will be leading a dedicated team focused on developing and delivering a range of solutions for a spectrum of alternative refuelling applications ranging from Light Duty to Heavy Duty Vehicles.

PACCAR Australia’s new boss The managing director’s role at PACCAR Australia is changing hands Leading truck manufacturer and technology company PACCAR Australia has welcomed Damian Smethurst as its new managing director, taking over from Andrew Hadjikakou.

Executive moves The campai

SEA presidency shifts A new president is leading the way for SEA Electric’s Asia Pacific business Daniel Scarpino de Castro has replaced Bill Gillespie as President of Asia Pacific at SEA Electric.

Scarpino de Castro comes to the business after Gillespie announced in March that he was moving on after two years at the helm.

Gillespie had come to SEA Electric from Hino where he was involved in setting up their electric vehicle project and the trial of the first electric waste management truck for Cleanaway in Melbourne.

Gillespie moved from Hino Australia in March 2021 to SEA Electric.

“Shortly after that SEA gained approval to bring SKD chassis in from Hino Japan, which was a world first for both Hino and SEA Electric,” Gillespie says.

“The Australian dealer network was established in 2019 to sell and provide after sales support in this new electric vehicle truck frontier.

“That structure exists successfully today and is a huge part in setting the SEA brand as something special in Australia with great customer support.

“In my view, the SEA business is ready to grow and take full advantage of the recent growth in zero emission trucks and move to its next phase of lag scale sales and production,” Gillespie says.

Scarpino de Castro comes to SEA Electric with a wealth of executive-level experience to his credit, following roles within the automotive industry, including bus and coach manufacturing, transport electrification, and zero emissions solutions.

Having previously worked within Oceania, Southeast Asia, South America and the USA, Scarpino de Castro joins SEA Electric from the position of President of Irizar USA, a multifaceted

company focused on passenger transport and electromobility.

He was also on the Board of Directors for Irizar Asia Pacific (Australia) since 2013, and has earned an MBA from the Melbourne Business School.

“It’s an honour to be joining the SEA Electric team, and play a part in taking the company to the next level throughout the Asia Pacific region,” Scarpino de Castro says.

“SEA Electric’s technology has an enviable reputation throughout the industry, with its credentials leading the way for what is possible in the

Daniel Scarpino de Castro is the new president of Asia Pacific at SEA Electric

space since the company was first commercially launched in 2017.

“As we have seen with the many major wins for SEA Electric in recent times, plus our existing portfolio of industry collaborations, people want to work with us, as we take the next steps adding fresh innovations to the electric transportation marketplace.”

News L-R Tim Jensen and Geoff Drucker

Hydrogen deal to cut carbon 7R Logistics has entered into an agreement with Countrywide Hydrogen that unleashes hydrogen on a scale not seen before in Tasmanian trucking history Logistics company 7R Logistics / Blu Logistics has announced the signing of a joint co-operation agreement with renewable hydrogen project company Countrywide Hydrogen to decarbonise the trucking industry in Tasmania.

The partnership will use green hydrogen on fuel-heavy transport vehicles in 7R Logistics’ Tasmanian fleet, with other states then planned to follow.

With 7R Logistics saying road transport accounts for at least 20 per cent of Tasmania’s emissions, in Hobart it estimates the number to be 30 per cent, meaning decarbonisation plans are vital.

Countrywide Hydrogen is aiming to have three Tasmanian hydrogen refuelling sites strategically located near Hobart, Launceston and Burnie, allowing the state’s major transport routes to be covered by a network of refuelling stations.

Countrywide says hydrogenpowered trucks deliver similar or better performance than diesel

equivalents in terms of power output, torque, payload, refuelling time, range and whole-of- life cost of operation.

“This partnership with 7R will help to promote the benefits and fast track the development of green hydrogen projects in Tasmania. To help achieve this, we are calling for support where possible from the state government to help enable the transition to zero-emissions road transport,” Countrywide Hydrogen managing director Geoffrey Drucker says.

“With government support, together we can promote the commitment to zero-emissions road transport, while actively encouraging and supporting others in the industry to transition to zero emissions.”

Hydrogen-powered trucks will be available in Australia to coincide with Countrywide’s first hydrogen production in Tasmania. As a result, 7R has become the first transport operator in the state to sign on to offer a zero-emissions option to customers.

7R has committed to offering

a zero-emissions heavy vehicle transport alternative to its customers currently using fuel cell trucks fuelled by renewable hydrogen from Countrywide.

7R currently operates 12 heavy vehicles powered by diesel in Tasmania, on average operating over 200,000 kms a year and each emitting 250 tonnes of carbon dioxide annually.

7R Logistics managing director Tim Jensen says extrapolating these numbers across this fleet will mean emissions reductions of 3,000 tonnes a year by converting to zero emission fuel cell vehicles.

“With so many Australian companies announcing their emissions reductions targets, there is a strong appetite among them to secure freight services that offer a zero-emissions alternative,” Jensen says.

“We are pleased to be partnering with Countrywide to offer our customers a critically fast-refuelling hydrogen electric option.”

The new FleetPartners logo

Eclipx eclipsed The leasing and fleet management company Eclipx Group has changed its name and logo as part of its growth and development strategy

Golden partnership Logistics giant Linfox has thrown its support behind an organisation promoting women in the transport industry Transport Women Australia Limited has secured a new Gold Partner in the form of logistics giant Linfox.

The group signed on with TWAL as part of its commitment to provide an inclusive, safe and diverse workplace – where people can bring their whole selves to work.

“Women have traditionally been underrepresented in the transport and logistics industry, particularly in operational roles,” Linfox Australia and New Zealand CEO Mark Mazurek says.

“We are committed to sustainable change through partnerships, education and training.

“We are proud of the progress we have made, but recognise that we still have a long way to go before we achieve the diverse and inclusive workplace we aspire to.”

Mazurek says Linfox has a staff education process underway that includes the rolling out of unconscious bias, diversity and inclusion modules in its leadership training programs.

“We have also established reference groups and mentoring programs dedicated to influencing positive change,” he says.

Linfox Australia and New Zealand CEO Mark Mazurek with Transport Women Australia Limited chair Jacquelene Brotherton

“We are serious about improving our female participation rate through increased opportunities and training and we are taking real steps to effect sustainable change.”

Linfox will partner with TWAL to provide mentoring, host networking events and contribute to government relations and advocacy activities.

TWAL Chair Jacquelene Brotherton says TWAL is delighted to have Linfox onboard as a Gold Partner.

“We welcome the opportunity to strengthen the bond between our organisations and the benefits it will bring to both,” Brotherton says.

“Linfox has long supported increasing female participation in the transport industry.

“We look forward to the opportunity to strengthen our leadership support and the additional benefits this partnership will bring to our advocacy for industry diversity and inclusion.”

There’s a new name in fleet management – FleetPartners Group.

The name is the result of a re-brand of Eclipx Group, and is part of the business’ three-year accelerate program.

FleetPartners Group says the objective of this program is to consolidate multiple operating systems, remove duplication of brands, systems and processes and enhance available synergies and maximise the profitability benefits for the grouped companies.

The program is expected to further improve customer outcomes, enhance employee engagement and deliver an annualised operating expense reduction of $6 million by mid-FY25, at an estimated total investment of $25 million.

“We’re very pleased by our progress under the Accelerate program,” FleetPartners Group managing director and CEO Damien Berrell says.

“The rebranding to FleetPartners marks a celebration for our 500 team members for our next phase of growth, and the promise of an unparalleled service experience for our valued customers.”

FleetPartners says the group’s new consolidated structure and FleetPartners brand launch represent the company’s commitment to becoming an icon for innovation and proactively shaping and adapting to change.

Berrell says FleetPartners Group is now very well positioned to continue to support and work with new and existing customers as they transition to low and zero emission fleets.

In addition to the name change and ASX ticker code update, the group has unveiled a new logo, websites (fleetpartners.com.au and fleetpartners.co.nz) and progressive web applications for its customers.

Together with the group’s contemporary new look and logo, FleetPartners has launched a suite of picture marks that will be used to enhance the brand’s appearance on digital communication channels.

“This suite of striking new marks has been met with great excitement from our team members,” FleetPartners chief people officer Zoe Hugginson says.

“The marks, which run across a variety of identities and causes, reflect the values and passions held by our team and provide an opportunity to showcase this through email signatures, on business cards and other channels.”

Automated distribution by Coles Coles says the largest single capital investment in its history will provide a safer, more efficient and sustainable supply chain in partnership with Witron Coles has opened its first Australian Automated Distribution Centre (ADC) using global leading Witron technology, and says it’s the largest of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk, Coles Group Chairman James Graham and the then Coles Group CEO Steven Cain officially opened the ADC at Goodman’s Redbank Motorway Estate in Queensland in late April.

It was the first of two Witron facilities to open in Queensland and came after Coles Group’s biggest investment into technology in the company’s 109-year history.

In total, more than $1 billion dollars has been put towards the automated centre, with second centre opening in Kemps Creek, NSW in 2024.

Coles says the ADCs are designed to create safer and more sustainable outcomes for team members and suppliers and better on-shelf availability for customers.

The state-of-the-art facility in Redbank is located 30 kilometres south-west of Brisbane and will service 219 Coles supermarkets in Queensland and Northern New South Wales, as far north as Port Douglas and as far south as Laurieton in NSW. When operating at full capacity, the site can process up to four million cases per week, the equivalent of 32 million units sold in stores. Over the course of a year, this is around 1.6 billion sales units.

Cain said at the time, the centre’s opening was one of the most

significant moments since Coles was founded in 1914 and was five years in the making.

“Modernising our operations is how we improve efficiency and availability in our stores and deliver higher service levels for our customers, team members and suppliers,” Cain, who retired on May 1, said.

“Our new ADCs can process twice the number of cases and hold twice the number of pallets compared to one of our current DCs. “The ADCs enable us to half our current total footprint, leading to a more productive and sustainable business model.

“Over 90 per cent of the cases processed in these automated distribution centres will be processed fully by automation or ergonomically which will be a step-change for the safety of our team as it eliminates almost 18 million kilograms of manual handling in the supply chain each week once the ADC is running close to full capacity.”

Coles Group chairman James Graham thanked all those involved for their dedication to the project.

“I’m proud of our team, partners and suppliers who’ve worked together for more than five years to create this state-of-the-art facility,” Graham said.

“More than 3,000 people came together, contributing more than 2.5 million work hours to plan and design the facility, construct the building and install and commission the automation.”

The Redbank ADC has LED and

sensor lighting to reduce energy consumption and is fitted with a 180,000 litres of harvested rainwater storage for toilet flushing and landscape irrigation.

There are plans for 3.5-megawatt solar installation, which will be among the largest rooftop solar solutions in the Coles network.

To minimise food waste, the edible food that can’t be sold in the ADC will be donated to Coles community partner SecondBite.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the world leading technology would help advance supermarket supply chains.

“This technology is not only a first for Australia, but also a win for the state of Queensland,” he said.

“As we’ve seen during the pandemic and natural disasters, resilient supply chains are essential when it comes to feeding our nation and providing Australians with essential supplies.

“Coles is one of the biggest employers in this country and its team was pivotal in ensuring food security during challenging times.

“A facility like this one in Redbank shows how retailers and manufacturers can look to the future to improve the productivity, safety and sustainability of their operations for all Australians.”

Eurocold grabs market share Eurocold has taken advantage of an open NSW refrigerated transport market by announcing major expansion plans in the coming months Following the recent collapse of Scott’s Refrigerated Logistics, Eurocold has taken advantage of the open refrigerated truck rental market to launch a Western Sydney expansion.

Eurocold plans to expand with a 3,500 sqm facility and major investment into Western Sydney, along with more plans to rapidly impact the NSW market.

The business is expanding out of its Brisbane headquarters where it has its assembly and operations base.

Eurocold managing director Avraam Solomon says the company is committing to have 100 trucks on the road from the Western Sydney facility

by December this year and to expand that to 150 by June 30, 2024.

The centrepoint of the operation is at 607 Great Western Highway, Greystanes, which positions Eurocold to efficiently service the Sydney market with easy access to the Blue Mountains, Central Coast and Hunter Valley/Newcastle.

Eurocold says its trucks will be available to rent or purchase from the opening day, with immediate delivery available.

It will provide both long term and short-term rental options too.

The Sydney facility will also perform on-site bodywork repairs on all manufacturers of refrigerated truck bodies including fibreglass, welding, hinges and seal repairs.

“Although Eurocold is known throughout Australia for its refrigerated transport solutions, establishing a large-scale footprint in Sydney will enable us to expand exponentially over the coming years,” Solomon says.

“The physical location of the Great Western Highway in Greystanes gives us the ability to connect with a broad base of customer and better communicate with our current customers in Sydney, given we will also be providing truck repair services from there.”

Solomon has recruited local experts with deep industry experience, supported by the company’s national team and he will be overseeing much of the operation firsthand through personally being on-site during the launch phase.

In March, Eurocold launched Revora - a sister brand that will

assemble electric refrigerated trucks in Australia with the aim of taking customers on a journey towards zero emissions.

Revora recruited experienced low-to-zero emissions consultant and expert, Nathan Gore-Brown as its general manager. Gore-Brown comes from a background with Aston Martin in Europe and established the first Tesla store in Brisbane.

Ultimately, Eurocold’s Sydney operation will take delivery of the Revora trucks as well and service that growing area of transport operations.

“We have intentions of growing quickly. We can do that by having trucks in the Sydney facility available for purchase and hire from day one. The team there are vastly experienced in their roles; they are local – so we’re committed to supporting Western Sydney – on top of that, the Sydney team has the full support of our national team,” Solomon says.

“We cannot wait to see the Eurocold brand being more prevalent in the Sydney market and helping operators move towards zero emissions with Revora.”

Toll turns to automation Toll Group is set to build a $200 million retail distribution centre in western Sydney A 67,626 sqm omni-channel distribution centre featuring $75 million worth of advanced automation technology is expected to open in Kemps Creek in 2025.

Construction on the state of the art building, commissioned by Toll Group, is scheduled to begin in August this year.

The facility has been designed to support both e-commerce and retail store fulfilment for retailers.

Major retailers have shown strong interest in the new facility, which is expected to be fully committed ahead of opening. It will have a storage capacity of close to one million cartons and, through the use of automated picking stations and connected zone-routing stations, will be capable of dispatching 37 million items each year.

Toll President Retail & Consumer Nick Vrckovski says the investment shows Toll’s leadership in developing leading solutions for the fast-paced retail industry.

“Our newest facility will give our customers fast, flexible fulfilment that integrates multichannel order management for immediate and accurate deliveries across all of Australia,” Vrckovski says.

“Whether it’s opening up new channels, offering more delivery options, or increasing warehouse capacity, our fulfilment solutions can adapt to the changing needs of retailers.”

The facility, to be developed by ESR Australia, will meet Toll’s sustainability requirements with a 5 Green Star Design and As Built rating and will be targeting a final outcome of 6 Star Green rating.

It will largely be powered by renewable energy through extensive solar panels, supported by battery storage.

Other sustainability features include LED lighting, rainwater harvesting and electric vehicle charging facilities.

New carton technology that customises a carton to the minimal size will reduce waste and transport space.

The investment at Kemps Creek is part of Toll’s broader strategy to grow the Australian business with $400 million of new investments planned over the next four years.

Qube buys growth Australian logistics company Qube has grown rapidly in Australasia with two new acquisitions Australian logistics and infrastructure company Qube has bought Australian bulk logistics provider Kalari Proprietary Limited and a 50 per cent stake in Pinnacle Corporation in NZ. The complete purchase of Kalari is set to deepen Qube’s exposure to the Queensland and South Australian resource markets while unlocking new opportunities in the region.

In NZ, Pinnacle operates both portbased and stand-alone facilities in nine locations throughout the country under its Specialised Group and MetroBox brands, providing customers with services including container storage and handling, refrigerated container maintenance and repair, container transport and warehousing.

Qube managing director Paul Digney says the transaction gives Qube a unique chance to gain an initial exposure to the NZ container logistics market, with a longer term focus on growth opportunities.

“I am very pleased that Qube has acquired a 50 per cent share in this very well-regarded and established player in New Zealand’s freight and logistics sector, with a high performing and quality workforce,” Digney says.

“This joint venture is consistent with our strategy for growth and geographic diversification within Qube’s core strategic focus and builds on Qube’s existing port logistics presence throughout New Zealand, under the ISO brand.”

Pinnacle Managing Director Grant Tregurtha says the joint venture is a significant and exciting opportunity that will result in a strong and dynamic presence in the NZ market.

“The combination of strengths from both companies will better serve customers, promote innovation and provide greater opportunities for future growth and expansion,” Tregurtha says.

“We look forward to the future and the many possibilities this will bring.”

Qube also announced that it has acquired Kalari Proprietary Limited from Swire Investments. This acquisition will enhance Qube’s existing resources logistics offering, with Kalari being a leading logistics provider to the Australian mining and resources industry, specialising in on road and remote bulk haulage through a fleet of predominantly performance-based standards (PBS) vehicles, materials handling and supply chain optimisation.

Kalari currently services a range of Tier 1 customers with significant mining operations, predominantly across Queensland and South Australia.

Digney says Kalari’s operations are complementary with Qube’s existing bulk mine to market and mine resupply operations and the acquisition offers a number of synergies, as well as an opportunity for Qube to strengthen the Kalari offering through its rail and port infrastructure.

Kalari managing director Peter O’Shannessy says he’s confident that Kalari’s record of success will continue under Qube’s ownership.

“I am very pleased for our people and our customers that we’ve been able to reach an agreement for Qube to acquire Kalari and I am confident that the business will make a significant contribution to the ongoing success of Qube,” he says.

Birthday building a bonus

An artist’s impression of the Northline HQ

Adelaide-based global logistics business Northline is celebrating its 40th birthday by announcing a future move into a purpose-built $16 million headquarters at Kent Town Two storeys of office space, two storeys of carparking and a rooftop entertaining deck are all part of the Northline’s future headquarters to be built at 68 King William Street, Kent Town.

The global logistics business has worked with South Australian architectural company Studio Nine Architects to design their new headquarters, in which they will take 1450 square metres of space.

As the business celebrates 40 years of operation the new space, expected to be ready in June 2024, will enable it to cater for growth across all of its business divisions including National Freight Management, Warehousing and Distribution, International Freight Management, Project Logistics and the Australian Customer Service Centre.

Key design features include large open-plan workspaces, breakout spaces for team collaboration, modern staff facilities including a café and lunchroom, and dedicated car parking. The building will also include solar panels and

motion sensor LED lighting, as part of Northline’s sustainability commitment.

Northline Chief Executive Officer Craige Whitton said the new headquarters marks the start of a new era for the company as it enters its 40th year with a clear strategic customer centric focus for the future.

“Northline’s values will always remain the same, but the company continues to evolve to meet an increased demand for our services, including further international expansion and the adoption of new technologies that provide greater efficiencies and transparency for our customers,” Whitton says.

“Our rapid growth domestically and internationally led to Northline outgrowing its current headquarters on The Parade, Norwood and needing to create an environment that reflected the future direction of the company.”

Northline is a 40-year South Australian and Australian success story built on friendship, loyalty, hard work and innovation.

Northline started operating in March 1983 and quickly grew into a national and then international transport and logistics business which today services more than 100 countries around the world.

Australasian Property Developments managing director Pep Rocca said he was delighted to be working with Northline to help support its future vision with a new, state-of-the-art headquarters.

“Australasian Property Developments will develop the project for Northline under a buildto-suit lease agreement, which will see us retain ownership of the new building,” Rocca says.

Sale of the site to Australasian Property Developments was managed by CBRE. Other project partners include Centina Construction, Future Urban, BSE, True Partners, and Triaxial Consulting.

Planning approval for the development was granted in June 2022 with construction expected to start in June 2023, and completion due in June 2024.

Feature The fast-paced nature of logistics work has proven popular with the Hammond family

Following the family FedEx executive assistant of operations Lorraine Hammond has created a family dynasty at FedEx, with her two daughters Lauren and Sophie following in her footsteps to succeed at the logistics giant When Lorraine Hammond first began working with a shipping container terminal operator in Sydney, she had no idea of the family influence she would have. After joining the operator in 2017 due to a passion for the machinery and the enormity of the work, Lorraine thrived on the fast paced nature of the job.

Six years later, she celebrated Mother’s Day this year uniquely after guiding her own two daughters into the logistics industry, all at FedEx. “I didn’t expect us all to be working at the same place,” Lorraine told ATN. “But I am extremely happy with how it’s turned out, especially for my daughters Lauren and Sophie, who have such bright futures ahead of them.”

Lorraine’s journey has been a whirlwind to now end up at as an executive assistant of operations at FedEx. In 2017, she was approached to work for TNT Express as the regional vice president’s executive assistant while TNT Express was in the midst of an integration process with FedEx. “I was just fascinated by the machinery and I loved being down on the port and viewing the ships coming in and out,” she says.

“I loved working in an industry where everyone thrived on the adrenaline.”

Lorraine was open to this acquisition due to the global outlook working for FedEx could provide for

her career. She worked for the vice president of FedEx Australasia for five years before being transferred in July last year to her current role.

Lorraine says this new role has allowed her to learn more about the business side of FedEx by closely collaborating with depot managers and spending more time onsite, where she’s revelled in reporting for duty at FedEx’s Botany depot once a week.

In her time at FedEx to date, Lorraine has loved the frenetic nature of the logistics industry.

“The logistics industry is fast moving, competitive and full of extremely passionate people who really care about providing the best level of service to both people and businesses,” Lorraine says.

“I love that we work across metro and regional communities, as the latter certainly need it.”

There’s another secret bonus behind Lorraine’s weekly visit to the Botany depot and working onsite.

When she gets there, she’s greeted by her youngest daughter Sophie, who works at the same facility.

Lorraine’s passion doesn’t make it too hard to see why her daughters were quick to join her in the logistics industry, particularly at FedEx. For Lorraine’s daughter Lauren, her career journey started by going to the airport to marvel at the planes taking off and landing for hours.

“Lauren is very passionate about aviation,” Lorraine says.

“As a teenager, her first job was at Sydney International Airport at a fast-food chain. I always thought she would end up doing something that has a connection to aviation.”

Lauren has very similar memories, and agrees with her mother that a career around aviation and transport was always on the cards.

“I always had a passion and interest for the aviation industry,” Lauren told ATN. “However, working in logistics wasn’t at the top of my career list as soon as I graduated from high school, it wasn’t something I’d seriously considered at the time.”

Yet when Lauren did finish high school, she was left stranded for opportunities through a myriad of reasons. This was when Lorraine stepped in, providing a guiding hand to suggest that Lauren work for the massive global logistics presence that is FedEx. Lorraine’s pitch to Lauren to work for FedEx in the logistics industry paid off, and Lauren took a “long shot”.

Lauren is now an account executive in FedEx’s field sales sector and is thriving in her role.

Lauren says she joined FedEx “with an open mind”, not expecting to experience the success she has had. Lorraine knew deep down that Lauren’s passion for aviation meant she would cherish working at FedEx, where she could still be connected to her love for planes.

“My mum has always spoken highly of the business, the people and the culture at FedEx,” Lauren says.

“I now believe I can go anywhere in this organisation, from progressing further in the sales department or moving into a completely new function. I’m very excited for what the future holds and I’m certain I want to stay within the industry and the business.”

Ever since heading into the logistics industry, Lauren has enjoyed it.

Although she admits being a female in the logistics industry does come with its challenges, Lauren says it is

Feature Sophie, Lorraine and Lauren Hammond share a love of the logistics world

playing a huge part in the person she is becoming.

“Even though the industry is mostly male dominant, I’m surrounded by and have been mentored by some of the strongest women I’ve met in this company,” she says.

“FedEx also recognises the challenges for women in this industry and never fails to ensure we’re seen, heard and appreciated.

“I’ve thrived in this industry because I’m genuinely passionate about it and I find it fulfilling to be able to develop logistics solutions to help our customers, which are predominantly local Aussie businesses, to grow and thrive.”

While a career in the industry always seemed destined for Lauren, the same couldn’t be said for Lorraine’s younger daughter in Sophie, who never expected to be working at the same place as her older sister and mother.

“I was unsure of what exactly I wanted to do with my career when I was 17,” Sophie told ATN. “I had just graduated and was presented with an opportunity to work in the customer experience department for FedEx. I saw it as a great opportunity since I’ve always considered myself to be quite the people person.

“We all do embrace the benefits of working in the same company now, as we’re able to help each other in certain aspects of our roles even though we’re in different departments.”

Sophie hasn’t looked back, now elevating to the role of operation supervisor. She says seeing Lauren’s success in her role drove her to consider the possibilities of following in her footsteps.

She’s now incredibly excited by how far all three have come, branching out into different departments across the business and striving to ascend into leadership roles.

Although the logistics industry isn’t traditionally considered an easy one for women to thrive in, the threeprong family at FedEx is proving that there is plenty of enjoyment and

development to be had for women at FedEx. “Luckily for us, FedEx is an extremely inclusive company that is welcoming to everyone, making it a desirable company to work for,” Sophie says.

Lorraine says: “Since I started my career, I’ve worked mainly in maledominated industries, so it’s had no bearing on my role here.”

“The industry is changing. If you look at where FedEx is today, the company has many very successful women in key leadership roles, so it’s extremely encouraging.”

These examples include the Africa, Middle East and Africa (AMEA) FedEx president, Kawal Preet, who started as an associate engineer in 1997 before ascending to her current role. It’s these role models that fuelled Lorraine. Lorraine is now the source of inspiration for her two young daughters emerging in the industry.

At the figurehead of this story is Lorraine, who wasn’t expecting to end up working at the same business as her two daughters.

“I’m extremely happy about it, especially for Lauren and Sophie as they have bright futures ahead of them,” she says.

“I’m extremely proud of what they

have achieved in such a short period of time, as well as the mature and intelligent ladies they’ve become.

“I often receive comments from colleagues who work with them and tell me how they are liked and well respected at FedEx.” The future appears bright for all three. While Lorraine feels happy and lucky to work for leaders that she respects and with colleagues that support her, her sentiments of wanting to continue her journey at FedEx are shared by the family.

Lauren says she believes she can go anywhere within FedEx, and is interested in continuing to study for her business diploma at TAFE NSW while expanding her knowledge within the sales and corporate side of FedEx. Alongside her, Sophie sums up the feelings that the Hammond family have for the opportunities presented to them by FedEx. “All I can say is time will tell what happens,” she says.

“There are endless possibilities for all of us and it’ll be exciting to see what we can all do with the passion we have for our roles and the departments we’re part of. For me personally, my goal over the coming years is to go into management within operations.”

Delicate touch a winner

IVECO badges take pride of place at Macknsons in Perth.

For Perth-based specialist sensitive freight transporter, Macknsons, there’s a lot more involved than just providing customers with an ‘A to B’ freight service – and there’s also a lot more at stake Take a peek in the back of Western Australia specialist freight hander Macknsons’ IVECO trucks or vans and there’s every chance you’ll see unique cargo carefully wrapped for transporting.

Macknsons count the Western Australian Museum, the Art gallery of Western Australia and private collectors as clients, so often what’s inside the truck is considered priceless.

Since Peter McDougall first opened the doors of Macknsons in 1995 the business has built a strong reputation for its care in transporting priceless artefacts, artworks and collectables, along with fragile freight for the medical, hospitality and mining industries.

McDougall started in the industry at 17 as a furniture removalist, where he plied his skills for several years before deciding to specialise in sensitive freight.

Now he leads a team of 25 people and operates 12 trucks, including two IVECO X-Ways and two Daily cab chassis.

“We’re a ‘people company’ that share a passion for providing a great service and moving our customers assets safely,” McDougall says.

“It’s a service-focused business and everybody who works with us has care factor; they also undergo long term on the job training – they’re highly motivated professionals always looking to improve all measures.”

The Macknsons’ business model is such that clients know their goods will be looked after solely by the team.

There is no cross docking, all vehicles are tracked and technology enables clients to see exactly where their goods are on their journey at any time.

Another important component in transporting delicate freight is having the right truck fleet. This sees Macknsons run vehicles with electronically controlled airbag rear suspensions, including the X-Way models. The airbag set-up is much gentler on the precious cargo while also allowing ride height adjustment for greater loading and unloading convenience if required.

The X-Ways are used for longer intrastate routes while the Daily cab chassis models are used throughout the greater Perth area.

According to Peter, his IVECO trucks are extremely quiet, comfortable and easy to drive.

Macknsons’ Daily models include a work-ready 45C Tradie-Made and a larger 70C curtainsider, which are predominantly used for deliveries in metropolitan Perth and surrounds.

“The Daily cab chassis have more equipment and features than our Landcruiser, they’re a great little truck,” McDougall says.

“I’ve also spent some time in the X-Ways, I drove one from our bodybuilder in Brisbane back to Perth and it was amazing – two pedal operation and so quiet, it just glides along. You can hop out of it after a long day on the road and still feel fresh.”

The 6x4 rigid X-Ways feature highroof sleeper cabs, 360hp Euro6 engines, Hi-Tronix automated manual transmission and are fitted with Pantech bodies.

The specification is well suited to longer routes, including journeys to mine sites and remote communities in central and northern areas of the state.

“The main things we look for when adding to our truck fleet are safety, fuel efficiency, driver comfort and dealer support, and we’re very pleased with what IVECO has been

able to provide in these areas,” McDougall says.

The latest vehicles are maintained by selling dealer, AV Trucks, with the X-Ways also covered by extended warranties of 4 years / 750,000kms, providing added peace of mind.

“Reliability and support is

important to us – we want to do business with like-minded service focused companies and I feel IVECO is certainly there for us.”

Peter said that the Daily models have even better standard features than his Landcruiser.

The transport industry will bear the burden of increased road user charges listed in this year’s Federal Budget

Budget bluster Changes to tax write offs and an increase in road user charges left the transport industry with very little good news out of the Federal Labor government’s first Budget in May While Labor’s first federal Budget is set to deliver a surplus for the country in the year ahead, transport and logistics operators will be battling to stay afloat as their costs rise thanks to increased government charges and reductions in tax relief.

Increases to the heavy vehicle road user charge, no extension to the popular COVID inspired instant tax write off scheme and no new money for road improvements have left transport operators facing a tougher future.

National Road Transport Association CEO Warren Clark says the industry knew the road user charge was going to be increased before the budget was released, but it didn’t make the pill any easier to swallow.

“The rise in the Road User Charge and a tightening of the instant asset write-off scheme were in line with expectations,” Clark says.

He says the government has applied the brakes to the amount small businesses can claim on their tax for a piece of new equipment, cutting it from a COVID-level of $150,000 to $20,000.

The effect of this tax change is sure to be felt in the new truck sales market which has hit record numbers is the past year as operators took

advantage of the tax write off to reinvest in fleet upgrades.

Clark says under the Budget changes operators who turnover up to $10 million a year can write off the full cost of assets worth up to $20,000, but that NatRoad had asked for that to be extended over a period of years to give businesses certainty.

“Equipment costing more than $20,000 can be placed into a depreciation pool, which allows businesses to immediately write off 15 per cent and a further 30 per cent each year after.”

In real terms, an operator who bought a $200,000 truck last year could claim $150,000 on tax that year for that piece of equipment. Under this Budget, they’ll be able to claim $30,000 in the first year, and about $50,000 in each year after.

Clark says the Budget papers showed the federal government would book $101.8 million from the Road User Charge in 2023-24, $369 million in ‘25-26 and $391.5 million in ‘26-27.

“That’s more than a billion dollars that trucking businesses will have to find somewhere and, if they can’t pass it on to customers, and ultimately consumers, they will go under,” Clark says.

NatRoad says there will be some

relief for operators with aggregated annual turnover of less than $50 million being able to deduct an additional 20 per cent of the cost of eligible depreciating assets that support electrification and more efficient use of energy.

Up to $100,000 of total expenditure will be eligible for the Small Business Energy Incentive, with the maximum bonus deduction being $20,000.

He says while there’s $1.1 billion in road funding earmarked for existing repair and improvement programs, it’s strung out over 10 years and much of it is for projects already in the pipeline.

On the positive side, NatRoad notes there is: • $64.2 million over six years for the delivery of transport and infrastructure priorities, including $35.6 million for IT systems supporting infrastructure investment and safety regulation • $43.6 million over four years for a new National Road Safety Action Grants Program to support community education and awareness, vulnerable road users, First Nations’ road safety, innovation and research.

On the new energy front, the federal government has set $2 billion aside to launch a clean hydrogen industry in Australia, with no details released yet on how it’ll be implemented, while $83 million will go towards the creation of a Net Zero Authority to transition workers out of highemitting industries.

This funding will help make it easier for transport companies when July hits and the sector is required to cut or offset emissions by nearly five per cent a year until 2030.

The Freight & Trade Alliance (FTA) and Australian Peak Shippers Association noted more than $1 billion in investment into strengthening Australia’s biosecurity systems over the mid to long terms as a highlight of the budget.

I Former driver, current operations manager and aspiring male model, Dave Sefton loves the challenge and satisfaction he gets working with QS Commodities and setting up the big Mercedes-Benz rigs

f you are like me, you have already perused the pages before you, checking out the photos and deciding whether they were interesting enough to entice you to read the accompanying article. If you have made it this far then I’ll accept the compliment that the photos have done their job. Or maybe you are just reading this because quite frankly the photos don’t align with the cliched vision of a hard-working Australian grain carter and your curiosity has peaked. I cannot argue with you there.

In days gone by if you headed inland from any of the major cities in pursuit of some grain carting road trains you would be expecting to lay eyes on some black smoke blowing, deep throat rumbling, big, bonneted beasts built for the tough Aussie conditions. Farmers and contractors with their tough-as-nails old Kenworths, Heritage Western Stars and Mack Super-Liners were the backbone of the Australian grain market. That’s what you used to find out in the paddocks and fields of Australia.

Over the decades those old-school cool trucks have all but disappeared, replaced with a lot less billowing smoke, but still the

regular gaggle of big-bonneted truck brands.

Where the smoke may have declined, the cosmetic appearance of the new-age grain trains has exploded. Seems almost every grain truck out there these days is sporting more and more chrome, miles and miles of stainless and, between the trucks and the A-doubles, they are responsible for ensuring truck wash manufacturers are permanently in the black. Big bonnets, long wheelbases and plenty of shine, that’s how a grain truck rolls. Until now.

In the Queensland city of Toowoomba, west of Brisbane and in the heart of the Darling Downs, is a company that, as you can see, has flipped the script on the grain truck image. This stunning big black MercedesBenz Actros 2663 isn’t a one-off, it’s the 10th Benz QS Commodities has put on the road.

QS Commodities are rewriting the whole idea of what works as a grain truck, and with massive fuel savings, top-of-the-line driver comfort, and the backing and support of Daimler Trucks, they are doing a fantastic job of it. Times are definitely changing.

How did we get here then? I’m not talking about here as in reading this article. That’s fairly obvious, you loved the photos, and my

witty attempts to amuse you previously have you coming back for more. No, I’m asking how we got to this story. How did QS Commodities end up with a spectacular fleet of German giants gracing the Queensland roads?

For the history I sat down with Dave Sefton, QS Commodities’ operations manager to learn the full story. Before you start assuming Dave is a suit-and-tie kind of operations manager let me correct you – he’s not. In fact, Dave hasn’t been off the road long enough to buy himself a suit and tie yet. He’s a lifelong truckie who happened to take a driving job where his boss, whom we’ll get to soon, realised Dave’s the sort of bloke that would make a great operations manager.

He knows trucks, he knows trucking and he understands drivers.

Ditch hopper Dave is a fellow Kiwi who travelled across the ditch in 2006 to chase the dream of driving road trains. “I’m a third-generation truckie, I’d never been on a plane in my life and in 2006 booked a one-way ticket over here so I could drive road trains,” he explains.

Dave achieved his dream. He’s towed all manner of road trains, done express freight, grain carting and fridge work. In fact, there

isn’t a lot Dave hasn’t had experience in during his three decades of driving. He’s seen it all, done it twice and is still smiling.

However, it was his proclivity for road trains and grain cartage that led him to take on a driving role with QS Commodities last year. However, as I mentioned, his boss Nick Slipper was a smart enough man to recognise and acknowledge that he himself may know a bit about trucks, but someone like Dave knows more about trucking and would be more useful to the company outside the comfy Mercedes-Benz seat and running the transport side of QS Commodities.

Now that we’ve introduced our protagonist for the story, let’s focus on the big QS Commodities on the side of the truck you’ve been admiring. The reason it doesn’t say ‘QS Transport’ is simple. QS Commodities isn’t actually a transport company.

I can see how many of you would be under the impression it is a transport company.

It has all the correct attributes, a fleet of stunning state-of-the-art trucks all paired with immaculate PBS-approved A-double tippers, all of which are dressed in black and sporting a proud QS Commodities logo.

However, QS Commodities is a grain trading company that happens to have its own trucks.

QS Commodities’ driver Craig might not be impressed with me taking photos before he did his housework but I couldn’t wait to show off the space inside the big Actros

As good as black trucks look, it doesn’t take much to get them dirty. Here’s the Benz heading away to drop off a load of cotton seeds, ironically driving past a field of cotton!

Nick Slipper, along with a business partner, began the company in 2017. Nick has been involved in grain since he left university way back in the days when it was almost a given that the grain trucks belched black smoke. It’s always been his passion, buying and selling cottonseed, coarse grains and pulses. Working with the international export market, as well as the domestic market and several major feedlots – that’s where QS Commodities started.

During the early years of the company, all the product that was being traded was shipped around the country on subcontractors’ trucks. That was until just a couple of years ago.

“We used to use a lot of subbies, but when the harvest was on we’d lose a heap of them,” Dave says.

So, one night over a few beers, Nick and Dave decided to buy their own trucks. They bought their first one in 2021 and since then they just kept getting more. By the time Dave came on board QS Commodities had seven units on the road and the eighth was just arriving.

From the ground up Nick had a less than ordinary route into the grain industry. Growing up on the Sunshine Coast, far from the nearest grain paddock,

It may be dwarfed by the silos it works around but the Mercedes-Benz Actros 2663 is far from a small fish. Big cab, big power and huge torque

Daimler Trucks took it upon themselves to dress up QS Commodities’ 10th Mercedes-Benz, adding a little bit of blackness to the tanks and bull bar

he had planned on becoming a lawyer. At 20 he took his first role in grain logistics with a multinational trading house. Now it has become a way of life.

It wasn’t all spreadsheets and boardroom negotiations though. It was a very hands-on education. From the harvest sample stand and grain receivals to the office, Nick has played a role. Hence, when the decision was made to buy his own trucks the choice to deviate from the norm wasn’t taken lightly.

Nick has driven them and he definitely appreciates the classic Australian bigbonneted version. His business sense however steered him toward a partnership with one of the leading truck manufacturers in the world – Mercedes-Benz.

“The choice to go to Mercedes was pretty easy,” Dave says. “It’s about costs. We can put a Mercedes on the road for a lot cheaper than the likes of the Kenworths, and then on top of that we save a heap in fuel and servicing as well.”

Dave wasn’t kidding about the fuel savings either. “We’ve done the figures over the past couple of years running the Mercs and on average we’re saving $40,000 a year per truck. When you can save that kind of money

on your biggest expense you can’t complain,” Dave says.

All the trucks are specced up identically with the exception of #10, the one you see before you. Courtesy of the team at Daimler Trucks in Brisbane and as a special thank you for the time and investment QS Commodities has put into these trucks, #10 turned up with a custom Black Kings bull bar as well as black tanks all ’round, giving it just a little extra.

Aside from those finishing touches on #10, Nick has kept all the trucks the same.

“They’re all 2663s and all fitted with the SoloStar interior. That has a full single bed that folds up and clips against the rear wall. When the bunk’s up it then has a lounge seat setup to it,” Dave says.

The trucks are all fitted with a sleeper air system, as well as a TV, microwave, dual fridges – the works.

“Our drivers are away Sunday to Friday, with some being away for a couple of weeks so we want them to have everything they need. There’s no shortage of space in the Mercs. We’ve got a couple of drivers that are six-foot-five and they can still stand tall in the big cabs.”

Now we can address the big black elephant

in the room. How are they holding up under the harshest Australian conditions? With Dave’s Kiwi roots you know he’s not going to mince words. He’ll call a spade a shovel if it is.

“We’ve had a few wee teething issues,” he admits. “The great thing though has been Daimler’s backup and service. If parts are wearing or breaking, they don’t muck around, they just throw new parts in.”

It seems the team at Daimler is just as invested as the QS Commodities’ team at seeing these trucks not just survive, but flourish in the grain carting came. As issues arise as a consequence of putting them into these conditions, Daimler is tracking and working with the QS team to find solutions.

“When I first drove one it really felt like it was wandering on the road,” Dave recalls.

Between him and Daimler though they remedied that by replacing the front-end springs with Daimler’s heavy-duty springs.

“We’ve done numbers one to four; five and six are getting done now and it’s made the world of difference.”

Obviously, the big Benz’s go up rather than out and as such their wheelbase is not the same as the big bonnets. “The downfall to the

short wheelbase is they don’t have the flex to walk themselves out of sticky situations like the longer wheelbase trucks do, but it’s only happened a couple of times and we just use the farmer’s tractor,” Dave says.

“The advantage though is we run under 30 metre PBS and can run into all major cities with them.” It’s very much a swings and roundabouts situation.

Dave’s happy to admit, teething issues aside, the Benz Actros is doing exactly what QS Commodities needs of them. Working closely with Daimler as well as the drivers, issues that crop up are easily handled. “We rely on the feedback from our drivers as well. The little bugs and teething problems are getting sorted as our drivers let us know. If you don’t know better, you don’t do better.”

This approach is ensuring that as new ones get ordered, the specifications can be altered to avoid previous hiccups.

That’s a good segue into the other big issue that needs to be addressed. How do the drivers feel about their big Euro workhorse? Well, that is an easier answer than I anticipated – “comfortable and content”.

of apprehension from some of the bonneted truck fans, however that is normally completely gone after their first week at work.

The notable difference in the driver’s fatigue from doing thousands of kilometres in a quiet comfortable Mercedes-Benz Actros cab is notable. Dave points out the drivers are just more relaxed, less tired and with less aches and breaks. It all comes down to the ease of driving the German giants.

“Fatigue is a big thing in our industry these days and driving these makes a huge difference. Our diehard American truck guys have easily been converted with the Mercs, they get to the end of the day and they are still feeling fresh and relaxed. That’s really important for fatigue management,” Dave says. “A lot of the other brands are built for Aussie conditions, but not for the driver.”

It also helps that the Mercs can pull harder than a busload of schoolboys as well. “It’s funny, you’ll come up behind one of the other grain trucks and start thinking I must be a bit light. Then you check the scales and they are sitting around 90 tonnes, but the Mercs are just so quiet and so much torque, they do it with ease,” Dave states emphatically.

“They might drop off against an 18-speed for the first couple gear changes, but once they get into the real pull they are just out and gone.”

Whether it’s a change in mentality or just the word getting around about QS Commodities in general, Dave admits he is now getting quite a few calls from drivers looking for work and he believes people are starting to appreciate the advantages that come with some of this European gear.

Personally, after hearing the driver of the month and driver of the year program that QS Commodities has instigated, I do believe that may have something to do with the desire to don the QS logo. But the big spacious Mercedes-Benz Actros cab would be a hell of an enticement as well.

In the end, times are changing, and QS Commodities is a company that epitomises growth and change. It’s a well-established grain trading company that has pivoted into carting its own products, from one truck to 10 now, working harder and smarter.

Nick Slipper may be the man at the top but he’s smart enough to know what he doesn’t know and has invested in the right people and the right products to ensure the company succeeds. Those investments include putting a Kiwi in charge (that’s never a bad thing). Plus, partnering up with one of the world’s leading innovative truck manufacturers.

Bring on more change if it’s all going to look as good as the QS Commodities MercedesBenz Actros.

Even without the added black that #10 sports, the black QS Commodities are impressive units, as seen here with the company’s #9 Benz

ou know what I love about our industry – about truckies as a whole? We do stick together. When times get tough that legendary brotherhood of the road is still there. It still exists. Sure, we operate in a different environment to what some class as the good old days of trucking. Yes, we are rapidly losing those roadhouse diners where there’s more BS around the table than there are potholes on the Newell.

Yes, there’s a higher chance of you hearing an “I’ve got a big …” over the two-way than you are receiving the traditional ‘truckies wave’ as you pass a fellow traveller. And it may be true that the ancient, practiced art of ‘creative logbook writing’ has been lost to the annals of history as our roads are swamped with Safe T Cams and our phones are inundated with Logbook apps. But when push comes to shove, truckies still look out for truckies. And

old school truckies have a bond that ties them harder and faster than the legendary rigs they used to fly down the highway in.

Today’s story is here to remind us that when the proverbial effluent hits the rotating arrangement of vanes or blades, truckies stand up.

On April 18 this year I received a phone call from a friend of mine, Craig Palmer. Craig works for Eastwell’s Haulage. A week before he called me, one of his workmates had his whole life turned upside down.

Shaun ‘Chucky’ Cronin had been doing what he was born to do, that’s drive trucks, drive trucks and drive trucks. He was up in the sparkling Queensland town of Emerald when the minor stomach pains he had been ignoring escalated. I’m talking bad enough that it took three paramedics to get him out of the truck.

While the boys at Eastwell’s had often said Chuckys’ Kenworth addiction was at a point you’d have to drag him out of the truck kicking and screaming, this was not the kind of situation they had joked about. Chucky was rushed to hospital where he was assessed and diagnosed. The hospital food and sponge baths may have been to Chucky’s liking, but the diagnosis wasn’t.

Chucky was diagnosed with Metastatic Mucinous Adenocarcinoma. Now most of us would have absolutely no idea how to pronounce that, much less understand what it is. Suffice to say, it isn’t good.

The Mucinous Adenocarcinoma part of that three-word sentence is bad enough

on its own. It’s a very rare cancer. Add in the Metastatic part and it basically means it’s spread. Far and wide. It’s a life-ending prognosis. In less than a week this lifelong truckie, who started his career in the flat-out flying days of the late ’80s, had his world turned upside down.

Hence why Craig rang me. He wanted to not just share the story but also give me the opportunity to share in a memory-making event.

Chucky had been torn from one of the loves of his life, his truck. But while he still had fight in him, he was determined to solidify the other loves of his life. His fiancé Hayley and their eight kids. Please indulge me as we share his story.

Where it all began Chucky ‘picked up’ Hayley almost a decade ago now – the picked-up part I mean quite literally. Chucky had run out of hours on his way south from Cairns. He was carting produce for S&G Transport and pulled into the Caltex in Rockhampton for his break when he saw the young Hayley hitchhiking.

“I spotted her there at Rocky, I checked to make sure she was all right, hanging out there

at night,” says Chucky. Being the truck-driving gentleman he was, he offered her the top bunk in his truck. He filled in his fatigue break while getting to know this lady who was hitching her way down to Brisbane. When the logbook was good to go Chucky escorted Hayley all the way back down the Bruce highway and, basically, the two of them have been together ever since.

“We’ve had some adventures along the way,” Chucky laughs.

“One time when I was doing the CairnsBrisbane-Melbourne-Adelaide run I flew Hayley down to Adelaide, we got a motel room down there and when we were there she told me the glass was a one-way glass so we could see out but people couldn’t see in. So I’d been wandering around starkers. I realised you could see everything when I went out to have a cigarette and looked back in the window.”

The two of them were made for each other, both independent, both hard workers and both madly in love. Along with Hayley, Chucky also became a stepfather to Hayley’s four young kids. That family soon grew, with Hayley recalling the exact moment she found out about child number five.

There was more than enough truckies keen to rock up and escort the bride and groom from the hospital to the ceremony.

Big thanks to all the drivers that cleaned up for the day

“Keep in mind when we met Chucky told me he can’t have kids,” Hayley recalls. “One day when he was on his 24-hour break in Brissy I went to see him and he said to me, ‘Your boobs have gotten bigger’. I brushed him off but later found out we were expecting Sasha.”

Being young at heart Chucky was stoked.

On the high side of 50 he was suddenly becoming a father. Hell, he enjoyed it that much he carried on, adding in child number six, seven and eight.

After driving for over 30 years, everything was falling into place for Chucky. He had

the woman of his dreams, he was a dad to eight amazing kids and the couple had just purchased a house big enough for their tribe on some land out near Jondaryan, north-west of Toowoomba. Top that up with Chucky having his dream job – driving a whopping big Kenworth hauling road trains for a company he loves – Eastwell’s Haulage.

Several of the Eastwell’s trucks made it home just for the wedding, including these two stunning rigs

married. A wedding had always been on the cards but even Hayley laughingly admitted, “He’s always been married to the truck; there was never enough time for anything else.”

Chucky’s diminishing health meant the organisation of the world’s fastest wedding.

There would be a small window when the hospital would be able to dose Chucky up enough to be able to leave the hospital and make it through the day, but it had to be soon. Hence the speedy organisation of the wedding. Six days to be precise.

Basically, that gets us up to the part where

Craig rang me, and this is the part I was most keen to share with our readers. Because this is the part where we should all be proud of the transport family we are a part of.

The trucking brotherhood and sisterhood stepped up. Hayley and Chucky’s mates took over the six-day planning schedule for the wedding like they were highly qualified allocators. They found a location available, organised a celebrant on short notice, managed to sort out all the seating and decorations, found suits and, most importantly, a wedding dress.

Chucky’s years in the industry meant there were countless people not just willing but wanting to help. It was an amazing effort.

His impact on the industry was never more evident than with his current employer, Eastwell’s Haulage. The family-owned company made sure that all those who wanted to get home for the event were indeed able to attend, fitting loads and schedules around Chucky and Hayley’s wedding. Some drivers had worked right up until the morning of the event and still put the effort in to clean up their trucks in order to participate in the surprise convoy that escorted the couple to the wedding.

However, I was thankful that I, along with partner Michelle Williams of Michelle William Photography, were able to volunteer to do the wedding photos for the couple.

Kenworth’s first sleeper appeared on the US west coast in the early 1930s

ome years back, I was involved in a TV and YouTube video about two trucks on a trip along parts of the old Hume Highway. Simply titled ‘Highway 31’, the exercise was the brainchild of Matt Wood, now a converted corporate man with Volvo Group Australia, but back then, a bloke keen as curry to sample life behind the wheel of one of yesterday’s big bangers.

No question, Woody’s a capable hand at the wheel, but he’d long wanted to sample the truckin’ life he missed as a boy. Or as he put it, “live the trucking youth I never had” with a snapshot of the so-called good ol’ days, even if just for a day or two.

Capturing the passage of trucks and linehaul trucking in general, and separated by more than 40 years of engineering evolution,

the two trucks featuring in the exercise were a remarkably well-preserved 1975 White 4000 and its modern-day descendant, a new Western Star 4900.

Typical for its time, and the absolute star of the story, the White was punched by one of Detroit Diesel’s famous screamin’ demons, an 8V71 stirring through a 15-speed overdrive Roadranger. Just as typical, you could hear it coming a mile off, the twin stacks belched soot almost every inch of the way, and Woody’s left arm had never been busier while his right ear rang like a car alarm. Still, and despite his obvious delight at briefly delving into yesteryear, I’m sure the thought of driving the ol’ cracker each and every day probably didn’t climb high on his wish list. A few days was more than enough.

Meantime, from where I sat, the workload

was lightyears easier, smoother, quieter and no doubt safer as the 4900 Star with its DD15 engine, automated 18-speed box and superb steering and road manners made driving a genuine delight compared to the veteran workhorse.

Yet it wasn’t just time behind the wheel which so starkly separated the old from the new. In fact, from a long haul driver’s perspective, the sleepers of the two trucks were arguably as indicative as anything else of the evolution in truck design and driver comfort which has taken place over the past half century and more.

Like, Western Star’s Stratosphere stand-up sleeper is spacious and superbly appointed, and still easily among the best in the business.

On the other hand, while the ‘dog box’ on the back of the White was good for its day and entirely typical of yesterday’s conventional big bangers, the modern-day mind boggled at the thought of shoehorning one’s self through the slot in the back of the cab, let alone imagining the difficulties of entry and extraction for a

driver of, let’s say, more generous dimensions.

Indeed, it was around this point in the ‘Highway 31’ exercise that memories raced back to much earlier experiences in iconic trucks like the R-model Mack, W-model Kenworth and White Road Boss, most with sleeper boxes proving that when you’re tired enough, any bunk is better than no bunk.

Then again, older timers will tell stories of a pillow on the steering wheel being a far better option than being dead-tired, if you get the picture.

Gratefully though, sleepers and attitudes to driver fatigue have come a long, long way, and they needed to, particularly given the vast distances and demands of linehaul trucking in our part of the world. But that said, some of the advances in sleeper design and space have been a surprisingly long time in the making, especially among European cab-overs and ironically, it was another Woody-inspired exercise which brought that point home with blunt clarity.

Sometime before ‘Highway 31’, we’d

DEALS Tech combined on a highly detailed production called ‘Clash of the Titans’ which ran two equally loaded B-doubles head-to-head; a 600 hp Cummins-powered Kenworth K200 and a Volvo FH16 600. Long story short, the K200 had the exceptional space and appointments of a 2.8 metre ‘Big Cab’ sleeper whereas the FH had Volvo’s standard XL cab with what can only be described as a modest bunk berth.

Sleeping in the trucks each night on the linehaul triangle from Melbourne to Sydney, Brisbane and back to Melbourne down the Newell Highway, and daily swapping trailer sets and drivers from one truck to the other, it seemed like punishment when it came time to overnight in the Volvo bunk. While performance and fuel efficiency of the two brands were almost identical, the Volvo sleeper was notably deficient compared to the Kenworth.

However, in 2019 and after years of complaints about the FH’s mediocre sleeper, Volvo finally reintroduced its extended XXL Globetrotter cab and after sleeping in an FH 700 for a few nights on a roadtrain run from Brisbane to Darwin, it was easy to conclude that Volvo now had the best sleeper of all the continental cab-overs.

Meantime, and despite an increasingly appealing model range, the other Swedish brand was copping its fair share of flak for

what some saw as a negligible sleeper for the Australian market. As we can now confirm though, Scania’s premium R-series range is offering its new and significantly enlarged CR23 cab for markets such as Australia.

Moreover, after recently spending a night in Scania’s bigger cab on an interstate trip, there’s no question each of the Swedish brands can rightfully claim the best bunks of all the continental cab-overs. Just whose is the best, well, that’s something of a dud question: the simple fact is that Volvo and Scania now have bunks better suited to the Australian market than ever before, and it’s for their continental competitors to decide if or when they want to catch up.

With an extended cab built by bodybuilder Wackenhut, 1955 saw the option of two beds in Mercedes-Benz’s LP315 cabover. The bodies in the bunks look like they’re headed for the morgue

Cab-overs are no longer offered in the US but with more liberal length laws than their continental counterparts, bigger bunks were always available

For Pete’s sake. A typical US linehauler comes with a generous sleeper section

Whatever, sleepers able to meet the complex requirements of length regulations and driver demands across vastly different international markets have long been a difficult issue. It is, however, more of a problem for European cabovers contesting low volume, high demand markets such as Australia than their US counterparts where conventionals rule.

Indeed, with the relatively recent demise of Freightliner Argosy, the only remnant of North American cab-overs for linehaul trucking is Kenworth’s classic K-series, built solely by Paccar Australia and well-equipped with various sleeper options.

As for bonneted trucks in our part of the world, length limits preclude the use of the cavernous sleepers available in the US but even so, there’s still a wide range of roomy, well-appointed, factory-built sleeper cabs to choose from.

On both sides of the Atlantic though, the history of sleeper cab development is a fascinating tale of innovation and invention, and perhaps nobody has told the story more completely than highly regarded UK commercial vehicle reporter, Brian Weatherley.

‘Clash of the Titans’ pitted Kenworth K200 head-to-head with Volvo FH16. Performance and efficiency were similar but Volvo’s sleeper left much to be desired

In the 1960s, Volvo’s F88 set a new standard in sleepers for European and UK drivers. Its popularity for longhaul work was immense

Britain’s esteemed trucking publication, Commercial Motor, Brian’s prime focus was understandably on the continental cab-over class where sleeper designs have ranged from the rudimentary to the radical.

What follows is an edited version of his original report but cab-over or conventional, we can all be grateful that sleepers have progressed far beyond the dreamtime.

Way back when So who built the first sleeper cab? The only thing we know for sure is they started to appear in the late 1920s, perhaps first in the UK where a 1928 draughtsman’s drawing shows a Foden Wagon cab with sleeping bunks. The following year, Mack introduced a sleeper section on its BJ model.

Then in the 1930s sleeper cabs started appearing in greater numbers, especially in the US. As trucks became more reliable, they

began traveling beyond the point where they could return home every night, thus the demand for a sleeper cab was guaranteed.

Early examples included General Motors’ T-51 tractor from 1931 while two years later, Kenworth’s first sleeper appeared on the west coast.

However, most of those early US sleepers were created not by the chassis manufacturers, but local bodybuilders. In fact, right up to the 1960s, thousands of sleeper cab and sleeper box conversions for both bonneted and cab-over trucks were produced by countless independent coachbuilders scattered throughout mainland USA. Meanwhile, shorter distances within UK road haulage along with the still-strong presence of the railways in longhaul freight meant demand for sleepers was smaller.

It was a different story on the continent. By the late 1930s you could buy an extended sleeper on a Mercedes-Benz LZ 10000 bonneted truck, though like their US counterparts, early German sleeper cabs were built by independent coachbuilders.

Then, with the war years interrupting road transport in Europe, it was left to the Americans to refine the breed in the 1940s but with the world slowly returning to normal, it was possible by the early 1950s to buy a bonneted MAN with a bed and an ‘improved sleeping position’. In 1953 MAN came up with another overnight innovation – a small sleeping compartment that stuck out of the top rear wall of a day cab. Known as a ‘swallow’s nest’, the concept wasn’t confined to MAN and pictures of other 1950s German trucks including Henschel, show them sporting the ‘swallow’s nest’ design.

Among the continental manufacturers, the Germans continued to set the pace. In 1955 Mercedes launched its first-ever factory-built cab-over, the LP315 which could be ordered with a sleeper cab containing not one, but two

132

In the late ’70s, Volvo again set a new standard with its high-rise Globetrotter cab but compared to the latest XXL version, the sleeping compartment was a compromise

beds, courtesy of independent coachbuilder Wackenhut.

The curvaceous LP315 cab had seating for four, with a brochure explaining, ‘During breaks or at night, the rear seats can easily be converted into two comfortable beds’.

Across the border in the Netherlands, 1957 saw DAF’s distinctive 2000-series cab-over appear with a factory-built sleeper cab, and the basic layout carried over to the 2600 model launched in 1962.

The Brits, however, were lagging behind for numerous reasons. For thousands of UK drivers, a night out meant bedding down in

one of the many traditional transport depots or ‘bed & breakfast’ houses across the land, while others simply slept across day cabs on beds made from old sofa cushions or ex-army stretchers.

Moreover, an early antipathy from the unions towards sleepers began but they weren’t the only ones, with one leading UK operator famously declaring: “When a man working in a factory finishes his shift would you expect him to go to sleep beside his lathe?”

It was a good point.

Yet by the early 1960s, plenty of sleepers were being built in the UK. Foden offered a

DEALS Tech factory-made sleeper on its S20 cab, albeit for heavy haulage or export markets like Australia.

In 1963, Mercedes struck a major blow for factory-built bedrooms with its LP1620 tractor offering the brand’s first integrated sleeper.

The LP’s boxy cab featured a wide entrance, large windows and relatively spacious interior thanks to a flat engine tunnel. The stand-out attraction, however, was a foldaway bed behind the seats.

Yet the LP1620 was only the beginning of factory-built sleepers. In 1965, the daddy of all classic sleeper cabs – Volvo’s F88 – made its European debut and the big Swede had it all.

It even looked like a proper sleeper, complete with a purpose-built bed, so no longer would drivers have to use odd bits of foam laid across the engine tunnel to fashion a bed.

Throughout the late 1960s and 1970s the F88 was Europe’s and the UK’s must-have sleeper, especially for drivers pioneering Middle East freight routes.

In January 1968, Scania hit back with its slabfronted LB110 model, followed a year later by the V8-powered LB140 and together they set new levels of comfort and space in sleepers.

When it came to new models with sleepers, the Swedes certainly got the ball rolling and the 1970s saw a bevy of factory-built bunks from all the major truck brands across Europe and the UK. Then in 1979, the world changed again with the appearance of the Volvo Globetrotter, arguably the first of the truly big European sleepers. Launched only two years after the original F-series cabs, Globetrotter (sold on F10, F12 and later, F16 models) ushered in a new era for high-rise flagship sleepers during the 1980s and 1990s, including DAF’s original Space Cab, MAN’s F2000 Roadhaus, Renault’s Magnum, Scania’s Topline, Mercedes’ SK Powerliner EuroCab and Iveco EuroStar.

Unquestionably the biggest of all the continental cab-overs was Scania’s eXc concept sleeper shown at the 2002 Hanover Truck Show in Germany. Based on a 4-Series Topline cab stretched by 1.3 metres, it provided a massive living room and snooze zone behind the driver’s seat. Its full-size bed was located lengthwise along the side wall, allowing space for an armchair, kitchenette, wash basin and ample storage.

A year later, eXc entered full production as the Longline, with Scania hoping to persuade road transport bureaucrats at European Union headquarters in Brussels (Belgium) to extend Europe’s overall length limits to accommodate bigger, better sleepers for drivers. Sadly, Scania’s arguments fell on deaf ears and Longline was dropped when the R-series range was launched.

Fast forward to today, looking at the latest cabs from Volvo and Scania in particular,

and those gigantic sleepers found on US linehaulers, driver accommodation has certainly come a long way from the days of wooden slabs and coffin-like boxes.

However, while the US applies limits to trailer length rather than the overall length of an articulated combination which allows for the extraordinary size of some sleepers, Europe’s cab-over class is still somewhat hamstrung by strict overall length limits.

Nonetheless, and no matter whose brand it is, the evolution of the modern sleeper cab still makes a great bedtime story.

To maximise volume loading, the industrious Dutch in the late ’80s devised the contentious top sleeper. Drivers, unions and ultimately bureaucrats didn’t like it. Gee, we wonder why?

Isuzu Australia dominates the light and medium markets in Australia, and now it's setting its sights on the heavy duty market too Words | Steve Brooks 137

iewed from outside corporate corridors, it has always seemed an odd arrangement. Like, why would Isuzu on April Fool’s Day 2021 spend 243 billion Yen – around A$2.7 billion – to buy UD from Volvo Group, yet agree to Volvo Group Australia (VGA) maintaining distribution of the UD brand in our part of the world?

Surely Isuzu’s Japanese masters knew how much its massively successful Australian offshoot, Isuzu Australia Ltd (IAL), yearned for a competitive prime mover model such as UD’s highly regarded Quon.

Surely they knew that with an effective prime mover in its line-up, IAL would be in a perfect position to add heavy-duty leadership to its vice-like grip on light and medium-duty mantles after 34 years dominating the overall Australian truck market.

And surely they knew the frustration and consternation it would cause among IAL’s loyal executives to allow VGA to keep the classy Quon in its ranks while their own prime mover portfolio effectively remained a void.

Like I said, odd!

New DEALS

Isuzu’s latest Giga is a direct derivative of UD’s successful Quon but as things stand at the moment, it’s only available in Japan. Locally, Isuzu has its fingers crossed for an Australian release sooner rather than later

However, there now appears light at the end of the tunnel for IAL. As things stand at the moment, it’s little more than a distant possibility, a dim glimmer of hope, but it is nonetheless a far brighter prospect than anything else which has appeared over the past two years.

Indeed, almost two years to the day since Isuzu acquired UD from Volvo, the two Japanese brands have announced their ‘first joint development’ which effectively sees both brands offering the same Quon-derived prime mover products in single-drive and tandem-drive configurations. With the

same cab inside and out, the only things distinguishing the models of each brand are different badges on different grilles.

Currently available in the Japanese market only, the trucks officially went on sale in Japan on April 4, with Isuzu and UD retaining their Giga and Quon model names respectively.

Perhaps the most surprising development of all though, the 6x4 models of both brands are powered by Volvo Group’s versatile GH13 engine with outputs up to 530hp. While single-drive versions use Volvo’s 11 litre GH11 engine – currently peaking at 460hp on the Australian market – the introduction of a 500-plus 13 litre in-line six for the Japanese heavy truck business is a major breakthrough for UD and potentially an even bigger asset for Isuzu.

For many years and through numerous Volvo-appointed executive regimes at UD, and despite repetitive pleas by Australian executives, the Swedish maker has steadfastly refused to allow its long-serving 13 litre engine to be used in anything other than Volvo or Mack product.

Predictably, and critically, these latest Isuzu and UD models stir through the newest version of the Escot 12-speed automated transmission which is, of course, Japan’s derivative of Volvo Group’s supersuccessful I-shift stirrer.

But Japan is one thing, Australia something else, and it would be a breathtaking surprise if VGA had plans to introduce the 13 litre Quon in our market. After all, a Quon with

139

DOW 493-136 ND Isuzu Quon.indd 139

26/5/2023 11:24 am

Except for the badges, the Giga cab is identical to UD’s Quon and that’s certainly not a bad thing

Underneath, the big news is the installation of a Volvo Group powertrain in both Isuzu and UD models, led by the 13 litre GH13 engine (left) coupled to the Escot (I-shift) automated transmission and hydraulic retarder combination (right)

more than 500hp and much the same powertrain and features package as its Swedish comrade would almost certainly infringe on the enduring popularity of Volvo’s FM range. And now, with Isuzu poised to pounce at a moment’s notice, there’s even less likelihood of Volvo agreeing to anything that may challenge the Swedish brand.

Isuzu, on the other hand, has no such qualms. Indeed, with not the slightest internal competition to worry about, IAL would welcome the revitalised Giga with unbridled enthusiasm, deploying its fierce marketing prowess and established dealer network to great effect in a bold bid to wrest

heavy-duty market leadership from big hitters Kenworth and Volvo.

It’s worth noting that IAL is already entrenched in third spot on the heavy-duty ladder. Furthermore, given UD’s strong acceptance on the Australian market under VGA’s stewardship, it doesn’t take much imagination to see an aggressive IAL making the most of every opportunity if it was to acquire a prime mover with a modern cab and efficient 500-plus powertrain.

Again though, as things stand at the moment, there’s absolutely no indication from Isuzu Japan that its Australian arm will be receiving the ‘joint development’ Giga anytime soon.

Moreover, the thought of a powerful competitor like IAL having access to the 13 litre powertrain would be anathema to VGA, so it’s a fair bet Volvo interests here and elsewhere will be working extremely hard to keep its hardware firmly ensconced in the Japanese market and nowhere else. Or at least, nowhere there’s the risk of whittling Volvo’s sales volumes.

Still, there’s little doubt that within IAL there’s now a wave of expectation that the tide might be turning and sometime down the track, a revitalised Giga may indeed land in Australia and with it, the ability to tackle the heavy-duty class with a truly effective model.

For Isuzu Australia director and chief operating officer Andrew Harbison and his team, it’s an expectation which has been simmering long enough.

In our exclusive interview last year, Andrew Harbison was surprisingly, uncommonly blunt when questions about Isuzu’s lack of a heavy-duty contender entered the

conversation. As recent events suggest, he was also remarkably astute in forecasting that IAL’s heavy-duty prospects are closely tied to developments between Isuzu and UD in Japan.

The simple fact is Harbison knows full well what IAL could achieve with an effective prime mover model and its continued absence fuels the fires of frustration in a man who, under the cover of cultivated corporate composure, harbours a fierce competitive streak.

It’s no secret, of course, that Isuzu’s former Giga model didn’t do the brand’s heavy-duty aspirations any favours and there were few – if any – tears when it was retired from sale. To say its acceptance on the Australian market was modest is an understatement of grand proportion. However, when asked if the previous Giga’s departure from the Australian market was effectively the end of Isuzu Australia’s heavy-duty ambitions, Harbison’s response was immediate.

“No, not at all. Absolutely not," he said.

“Yes, we’re very much in the hands of our parent company in terms of what product we’re able to get but I am as fiercely driven as ever to achieve what’s possible.

“I’d really like to have a decent heavy-duty product where we can have a real crack at that market. Give it a real shake.”

But if that was a question to stir the competitive embers, the next one threw fuel on the fire: Are you envious of Fuso with its 510 hp Shogun and Hino’s new 700-series heavy-duty models?

“Absolutely. It pisses me off.”

It was, by any measure, an uncharacteristic outburst which, more than anything else, demonstrated the depth of dismay at Isuzu’s lack of a suitable heavy-duty contender for its supremely successful Australian operation.

Soon after though, a thoughtful Harbison declared, “Isuzu obviously has a picture where the future product is going to come from and UD is certainly part of all that, and I think the future technology for the next generation of (heavy-duty) product will be a combination of Isuzu and UD.

“Unfortunately, I can’t give you a timeframe,” he continued.

“It could be tomorrow or it could be a couple of years. The Japanese will decide the timing but I genuinely believe that ultimately the Australian market will have an Isuzu/UD heavy-duty product.”

Asked what level of success could be achieved with the right heavy-duty product supported by Isuzu Australia’s extensive marketing and dealer strength, an adamant Andrew Harbison asserted, “We could deliver another thousand trucks a year, and I don’t say that with any arrogance.

“It is what I genuinely believe we are capable of doing, particularly looking at the success we’ve already achieved in the light end of heavy-duty with our 6x4 (rigid) and eight-wheeler models."

Gathering his thoughts for a few moments, a convincing Andrew Harbison concluded.

“Our target is to be number one in every market," he said.

“That hasn’t changed and with the right product, we’ll make it happen.

“Absolutely!”

Plant & Equipment

King move Kaeser Compressors’ Mobilair M120 compressor is easy to use and hard to beat.

The new facility is based at 253-281 Discovery Road, Dandenong South

Victorian era A new Melbourne branch for Toyota Material Handling Australia will take the company to the next level.

Toyota Material Handling Australia (TMHA) has opened a new Melbourne branch which it says will create new opportunities for its clients.

Located on TMHA-owned land in the Melbourne suburb of Dandenong South, the 17,000 square metre space is all under roof, and has a total of 12,140 square metres dedicated to warehouse and workshop space.

Designed to accommodate the assembly, sales, hire and servicing of forklifts, scissor lifts, skid steer loaders, sweepers and scrubbers, pallet jacks, elevated work platforms and automatic guided vehicles, the facility will also be the base of TMHA’s workshop and field services divisions.

The new facility also includes another 9,900 square metres of hardstand, specialised sealed and pressurised paint and preparation booths and a dirt demonstration area to showcase the brand’s Huski excavator range.

It also has 4,110 square metres of office space over two levels, including open plan areas, meeting rooms, lunchrooms, a board room and a spectacular new reception area with a statement staircase.

TMHA plans to use the new facility as the base of its major and corporate accounts operations, as well as facilitating the sales and rental of its forklifts and other equipment.

As well as its inventories of new material handling and Huski equipment, the new complex has 935 cubic metres of space dedicated to storage of spare parts as well as training facilities for staff.

TMHA general manager of corporate compliance and project development Bob Walmsley said the new branch will allow for a greater level of usability and innovation for the TMHA brand.

“Our new state-of-the-art facility will offer more for our valued Victorian customers,” he says.

Built tough for extreme conditions, Kaeser Compressors’ Mobilair M120 portable compressor is now available to order in Australia.

Kaeser says the machine can be used in quarrying, mining or blasting applications, able to deliver up to 11.3 cubic metres of compressed air per minute, or 400 cubic feet per minute.

It can run seamlessly on high-sulphur diesel, and continues operating in the green zone even when ambient temperatures reach above 50 degrees Celsius.

Equipped with a Tier 3 emissions Cummins engine, a certified spark arrester and an automatic engine shut-off valve, the compressor also features a new oil separator design with two spin-on cartridges, ensuring a low residual oil content for the compressed air.

Start-up is at the push of a button; the machine then runs unloaded, thereby ensuring safe cold starts in all conditions.

The display indicates the end of the warmup phase, after which the machine can be switched to load to begin generating compressed air.

The Mobilair M120 gives the operator two choices of pressure stages, one to a max. of 10.3 bar (125 psi) and the other up to 14 bar (200 psi), adjusting the maximum possible flow rate to match the pressure set at the controller thanks to its innovative pV control.

Depending on the desired application, the system can also be equipped with an aftercooler or a microfilter combination for technically oil-free compressed air.

Rather than being discharged from the machine, accumulating condensate is evaporated by the hot exhaust gases from the engine, ensuring eco-friendly operation.

The M120 is available as a construction site chassis equipped with parking brake, a road-going chassis fitted with a run-on brake and lights for towing on the public highway, or as a stationary version mounted on skids.

Integrated forklift guides and lifting eyes, which can be reached via climbing aids, are fitted as standard..
