Across all categories, as reported by the Transport Industry Council, 3,181 vehicles were sold in July 2023, more than 300 sales July less than the 3,494 sales recorded in July 2022.

314, Volvo 502 to 180 and Kenworth 473 to 180.

With COVID instant asset write offs of up to $150,000 coming to an end on June 30 the market was expecting a big push in the first six months of 2023 as businesses rushed to take advantage of the deal and have trucks delivered before the incentive returned to pre-COVID instant asset write-off levels of around $20,000.

Even with the drop in July, Isuzu still clocked up 1009 sales in the 31-day month – or about 32 sales a day. At this rate, with 8,108 vehicles already sold in 2023 and five months left to see out this year, the brand could exceed 13,000 sales for the year.

Between the top five there have already been more than 18,500 sales this year, across the light, medium and heavy categories.

Hino sold 325 trucks in July and hit 3,491 for the year. Fuso sold 314 in July with its year-to-date total coming in at 3,012.

Heavy Duty category For Volvo and Kenworth, the battle for supremacy in the heavyduty category continues with just two sales separating Kenworth (1976 YTD) from Volvo (1974 YTD) in first and second spots.

Bring out the cake, Australian Truck Radio is turning one It’s been a big year for Australia’s only radio station created with truck drivers in mind Broadcasting live from the Brisbane Truck Show, counting down the top 500 songs in January and an ever-increasing number of listeners’ song requests and shout outs are the highlights of the past 12 months for Australian Truck Radio host Simon Smith.

Smith, and his Australian Big Rig Radio Show aimed at Australian’s long haul truck drivers, joined the Prime Creative Media family in August 2022.

With the backing of Australia’s leading business to business publisher the station has notched up a number of memorable milestones, including its re-launch and re-branding as Australian Truck Radio, the release of its own mobile App on Google Play and Apple stores, and wide-ranging media coverage in titles such as Big Rigs, Owner Driver, Deals on Wheels, Prime Mover, PowerTorque, Trailer Magazine and Fully Loaded.

As we head into the second half of 2023 the digital station is averaging 20,000 listeners a day, with new App download numbers growing every week.

“It’s the best 12 months I’ve ever had,” Smith says. “It’s been great, the contact with listeners at the truck show, to have people come up and say they love what you do.

“This year I’ve been in radio 43 years. The music is still at the heart of everything we do, but the technology and how we’re able to use it to reach people has totally changed – for the better.”

Being an internet-based service Australian Truck Radio reaches truck drivers all over Australia via their mobile devices – allowing them to simply lock on the station and stayed tuned in for as long as they like. No more twisting the dial to find the next radio station every few hundred kilometres.

Smith says the station has broadened its offerings over the 12 months, adding comedy to the line-up, along with regular news bulletins covering the news of the day, traffic conditions and road conditions.

With truck drivers in mind Smith also has regular chats with industry and business leaders who support and supply the companies and drivers who keep Australia moving.

Regular guests include Senator Glenn Sterle, musician Jayne Denham, Truckie Nutrition Chick Tracey Marley, Truckright’s Rod Hannifey and Transport Women Australia Ltd chair Jacquelene Brotherton.

“We’re working with the Associations, NatRoad and NHVR and have had some great commercial support too.”

Looking forward to the next 12 months Smith says Australian Truck Radio will continue to grow its reach, attending more events and truck shows and listening to listeners to ensure they are delivering the music and entertainment they want.

“It’s a mix of country, classic rock, Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Barnes, 70s, 80s, 90s,” he says.

“Great songs are like old friends. They’re always happy to see you and they bring back old memories.”

Australian Truck Radio General Manager Peter Hockings says the station has continued to evolve over the past 12 months with the strong support of foundation partners within the trucking industry who are keen to talk directly to drivers and operators.

Hockings says there’s been plenty of support from trucking industry associations and organisations too, with one highlight being a partnership with the Healthy Heads in Trucks and Sheds charity which has taken on the mission of helping share information and assisting drivers and transport workers in looking after their mental health.

Caltex returns Caltex has been serving Australians for more than 70 years

WITH FIRST CLASS BUSINESS SOLUTIONS

Caltex has been a dependable partner for generations across Australia, with the brand ready and committed to support customers, partners and suppliers in a whole new way.

Backed by Chevron – one of the world’s leading energy companies with more than 70 years of history in Australia – Caltex offers its customers high-quality fuels, engine oils, lubricants and more, including the new fully adaptable StarCard fleet management system.

Supporting this, Caltex is currently strengthening its distribution network, ensuring the prompt supply of products, to keep the country moving.

Following Chevron’s acquisition of Puma Energy (Australia) Holdings three years ago, which included a national network of retail locations, they’re now embarking on a rebranding project which will see most Puma Energy sites change to Caltex by the end of the year.

Beyond the retail experience, Caltex offers innovative industry-leading technology, such as the specially formulated fuel systemcleaning ingredient Techron®, which is available in every fuel grade – helping your car’s engine deliver maximised power, better fuel economy, better acceleration, a smother drive, and reliable performance.

On the lubricants side, diesel engines will experience Caltex Delo® ISOSYN Technology, the brand’s high-performance diesel engine oil offering, while Havoline® will be available for petrol engines.

By offering a comprehensive fuel and lubricant offering, Caltex is a one-stop-shop,

with solutions available for every kind of application, from construction to mining, agricultural, power generation, transport, and global marine.

Top-tier lubricants and fuel that keep you moving Protecting your investment in plant equipment with high-quality lubricants simply makes sense.

Caltex Delo® with ISOSYN® Technology, helps protect vital diesel engine parts, provide engine durability and extend service intervals, to help minimise operating costs.

Drawing on over 88 years of expertise, ISOSYN® Technology combines premium base oils with high-performance additives to deliver engine component protection rivalling synthetics.

This high-performance additive formulation helps provide exceptional soot dispersion and prevent deposit build-up, ensuring vehicle performance which can contribute to extended service intervals and minimised downtime.

The road to the modern-day Delo® range is one based on marketplace innovation.

In 1935, Chevron, then known as Standard Oil of California, partnered with Caterpillar Tractor (CAT) to formulate an oil to lubricate the high-speed diesel engines that CAT was planning to build.

This joint venture between the two companies resulted in a multipurpose motor oil known as Delo®, an acronym for Diesel Engine Lubricating Oil. In the 1940s,

StarCard streamlines business operations The new Caltex StarCard is a power-packed fuel management card offering a convenient way to increase fleet management efficiency.

It provides a wide range of adaptable features to manage fleet and personal expenses and is perfectly suited to the ever-changing requirements of working in the construction industry.

It has two main options, either ‘open’ or Delo® was the first brand in the world to develop compound diesel engine oil that could be used in any diesel engine, and in the 1950s, it pioneered the first successful multi-grade engine oil, with innovations over the following decades setting industry benchmarks for long-term engine performance.

Adding further confidence, Chevron has the capabilities to manufacture lubricants by producing its own base oil, maintains 21 individual blending plants, globally (including joint ventures) and owns Oronite, one of the world’s biggest additive companies.

Delo products are sold in 155 countries, and importantly, Chevron internally controls the three pieces required to manufacture lubricants, by producing its own base oil, it controls Oronite, one of the world’s biggest additive companies, while it also maintains 21 individual blending plants globally, including joint ventures.

Today, Delo® products are sold in 155 countries and the Caltex Delo® product family includes lubricants, coolants, greases, and construction equipment system consumables such as engine oils, hydraulic system oil, transmission oils, engine antifreeze/coolants, gear drive fluid, grease for bearings and other lubrication points and more.

Similarly, this offering extends to all other fleet vehicles, including trucks, trailers, and passenger vehicles, with the Havoline® brand of oils covering the full spectrum of petrol engines.

‘close’ loop. Open loop provides the ultimate coverage allowing access to all Caltex and Puma Energy service stations, and being welcome wherever WEX Motorpass cards are accepted, meaning you can use it at over 6,000 service stations and industry partners Australia-wide. Open Loop StarCards can also be used wherever Cabcharge is accepted and for services at Magic Hand Carwashes.

A closed loop card means businesses can avoid paying transaction fees while enjoying access to the full range of Caltex with Techron® fuels. Both options can be set up for specific drivers and vehicles, with PIN protection available too.

Additionally, StarCard provides a range of perks and discounts from leading tyre retailers, vehicle parts and accessory retailers, vehicle servicing providers and accommodation houses.

StarCard is another solution offered by Caltex to keep businesses in control and allow operations to run smoothly.

Caltex with Techron® is available across all petrol fuel grades and contains an innovative formulation that has been scientifically proven to help clean and protect engines. Techron® not only removes dirt, but also helps prevent deposits from forming on critical parts of your car’s engine.

This helps your car’s engine to function at optimum, delivering maximum power to your wheels.

Caltex Diesel with Techron D helps keep fuel injectors clean, protect against corrosion and reduce foaming while filling up.

In diesel engines, the fuel injector nozzle can be as narrow as the width of two human hairs, and with these injectors usually located inside the combustion chamber, they are exposed to extreme heat, and are, therefore, more vulnerable to deposit formation than those experienced in a petrol engine.

Caltex offers

innovative industry-leading technology

Caltex: your business partner to move forward Caltex is committed to the Australian market and making its products available to customers where and when they need them.

Whether you’re running the family car, the construction site or the company fleet, Caltex is there to support you with expert advice and fuel equipment solutions, quality bulk fuel supply, premium engine oils and reliable lubricants.

Iveco’s heavy electric move IVECO is preparing to produce and market heavy-duty battery and heavy-duty fuel cell electric vehicles under its own brand The latest vehicle evolution from Industrial Vehicles Corporation (IVECO) has been announced and it’s a step into the zero emissions future for heavy vehicles.

In the next step since taking full control of German company Nikola, IVECO has announced it will release heavy-duty battery electric and heavy-duty fuel cell trucks under its own moniker in the coming months.

The decision is in line with the company’s ethos of simplification of brands and structure that been key to the development of IVECO since its launch in 1975 with the merge of five different European brands.

While the brand retains its Italian heritage, based on the dominant origin companies of Fiat, OM and Lancia Veicoli, it is now headquartered in Amsterdam, with operations that stretch across the world.

The announcement of the new heavy-duty alternative energy vehicles follows on from the local launch of the S-Way series of heavy duty trucks featuring a total overhaul of IVECO’s heavy duty offering.

The IVECO HD BEV and FCEV feature an electric axle co-designed and produced by FPT Industrial, IVECO’s specialist powertrain sister brand; batteries are supplied by Proterra, and fuel cell technology and key components by Bosch.

These born-electric vehicles are based on the IVECO S-Way platform, which has been specifically redesigned to support both fuel cell and battery propulsion technology, thanks to a modular architecture.

The battery electric truck is marketed as having a range of up to 500 km with a total battery capacity of 738 kWh, with charging power up to 350 kW.

Iveco will maintain its own brand on a line of heavy electric trucks in Europe

IVECO says the truck would suit hub-to-hub delivery applications, a wide range of regional work, and even applications requiring extended mileage with charging opportunity during mandated driver stops.

It says the Artic 4x2 configuration will be the first to enter the European market in the last quarter of 2023.

The IVECO fuel cell truck has a range of up to 800 km and a refuelling time of under 20 minutes.

It has been designed to hold up to 70 kg of “H2 usable” energy at 700-bar pressure and is being hailed

by IVECO as “a real game changer in zero tailpipe emissions long-haulage applications”.

The first units of the IVECO HD

FCEV will be delivered in France, Switzerland and Germany at end of 2023, as planned in the H2Haul European project co-financed by the Clean Hydrogen Partnership, aimed at accelerating the deployment of hydrogen solutions in the commercial transport industry and enabling the large-scale fuel cell truck market in the coming years.

Both vehicles are produced in the Ulm manufacturing facility, Iveco Group’s multi-brand German site.

Vehicles will be marketed and supported through the extensive IVECO dealer network which includes 254 sales and service outlets around Europe.

In Australia and New Zealand the heavy trucks are a way off.

At this point IVECO has the 70C eDaily pre-production unit previewed at this year’s Brisbane Truck Show continuing to undergo testing at IVECO’s Customer and Innovation Centre (CIC) and on local roads.

It says the the first of five full

production eDaily vehicles – a combination of van and cab chassis variants – will soon arrive in Australia and New Zealand and will be placed within key customer fleets for evaluation and to gain real world operator feedback in local applications and conditions.

The additional eDaily models will also provide further opportunities for key partners to further familiarise

The Iveco e-Daily is currently being tested in the Australian and New Zealand market

themselves with the vehicles.

These partners including several tertiary institutions, Government departments and private enterprise, who will assist IVECO with training, tooling and recharging infrastructure in support of the model roll-out.

Super-sized cabs The GigaSpace cab created for the Actros 25 Driver Edition Mercedes-Benz prime mover has proven so popular it has been added to the options list in Australia and New Zealand With 2.13m of interior height, more storage and options for a pull-out microwave and two pull out fridges, the Mercedes-Benz Trucks GigaSpace cab has captured the imagination of truck buyers.

The new cab, which made its debut at the Brisbane Truck Show in May, brings a big boost to driver comfort, and the capacity to add a second bunk if the trucks are tackling journeys requiring drivers to double up.

Mercedes-Benz vice president Andrew Assimo says the new cab options were added to the local line-up in response to customer feedback.

“We are always looking for ways to further refine our trucks for the very specific needs of our Australian and New Zealand customers,” Assimo says.

He says he is pleased to add the GigaSpace option, which has proven popular in Europe.

“We like to offer our customers as much choice as we can and we think the GigaSpace cab will really hit the spot for some operators with the additional storage and additional interior height.”

The cab height, measured from the floor between the seats to the ceiling,

provides ample room for the tallest drivers.

Other benefits of the GigaSpace include the increased storage with three large cupboards built into the front of the truck, sitting above the windscreen.

These cupboards are in addition to the space under the bunk, and the standard Actros fixed bed which provides a width of 750mm, topped with a locally-sourced thick inner spring mattress. A second fold down bunk bed can be added too.

While the GigaSpace cab is taller, it is no longer than the standard

Actros cab, maintaining its versatility regarding overall length regulations.

Another addition to the new trucks is the optional MirrorCam system which replaces traditional side mirrors with cameras relaying footage onto screens in the cabin.

Apart from reducing drag, the cameras also improve visibility by removing the traditional mirrors from the driver’s field of view.

The exterior camera wing has been redesigned and is now 100mm shorter, while the screen resolution has been improved along with the low-light visibility.

Kenworth races to the front with Supercars Keys to new Kenworth trucks were handed to the chiefs at Supercars to celebrate two decades of work

Kenworth and Supercars have continued their strong partnership

When the Supercars organisers roll into the racetracks around the country this season, they’ll be arriving in two of Kenworth’s latest model trucks.

A T610 and a K220 truck were handed over to Supercars recently to take on the transportation roll for the race series.

One truck pulls a trailer carrying the safety and medical cars for the events, that also acts as Supercars’ mobile office, and the other truck hauls the Supercars media hub and CEO boardroom.

During the delivery of the keys last month Kenworth and Supercars confirmed the partnership would be extended until at least the end of 2025.

The Kenworth’s will cover more than 35,000 kilometres each season as they travel Australia to attend every Supercar event.

The new trucks feature a full suite of safety options, including adaptive cruise control, stationary vehicle

“We look forward to the next chapter of our partnership, delivering world-class experiences to our passionate fans.”

PACCAR Australia sales and marketing director Michael Long says the partnership remains strong.

“We are thrilled to be continuing to support Supercars with two new Kenworth prime movers as part of our long-standing relationship.

The partnership between the two organisations is in its third decade and continues to grow, creating excitement for everyone who’s involved.”

Race fans will be able to check out Supercars’ new Kenworth prime movers at next week’s Beaurepaires Sydney SuperNight, taking place July 28-30 at Sydney Motorsport Park.

The event hosts Races 18 and 19 of the 2023 Repco Supercars Championship season, with live coverage available on Foxtel and streaming via Kayo.

braking, collision mitigation, driver alerts, lane departure warning, highway departure warning and braking autonomous emergency braking (AEBS) and multi lane autonomous emergency braking.

The T610 prime mover has been delivered with fuel economy in mind. It is loaded with the very latest Euro 6 engine that delivers ample power and minimises pollution too.

Kenworth has also retained the exclusive rights to the official Kenworth Drivers Parade at the iconic Repco Bathurst 1000.

Supercars CEO Shane Howard says Kenworth has been part of Supercars for as long as he can remember.

“We are delighted to extend our partnership with Kenworth as the Official Heavy Duty Truck of Supercars. Their unwavering support and dedication have been instrumental in the success of our events for over 20 years,” Howard says.

Hino’s tour keeps on rolling While it might not be selling as many tickets as Taylor Swift’s concerts, the Hino Australia promotional tour is bringing plenty of cheer to truck lovers around the country Rural and regional towns are at the heart of a 130,000km journey currently being undertaken by Hino Australia.

The 2023 leg of Hino Australia national roadshow aims to bring the latest in Hino trucks to all corners of the country to provide customers with the opportunity to drive and experience the vehicles for themselves.

The roadshow, which started in 2022, rolled into Toowoomba in Queensland in August and will conclude in Canberra in January.

“In 2022, we were proud to bring our range of next-generation vehicles to over 500 customers as the roadshow travelled to various locations in Queensland, Victoria,

South Australia and New South Wales,” says Richard Emery, vice president of Brand and Franchise Development for Hino Australia.

“For Hino, it was important that our rural and regional customers were provided with the same opportunity to engage with and drive our trucks – as part of the roadshow’s 130,000 kilometre journey, the 2023 leg will travel as far north as Mackay, as far south as Mt Gambier and will cross the Nullarbor to Perth.”

The roadshows are custom designed in conjunction with local dealers to ensure the right trucks are delivered for testing in each market.

“Each dealer will handpick the

most appropriate trucks for its market from our range of awardwinning light, medium and heavyduty on and off-road trucks for customers to engage with both static displays and personalised drive opportunities,” Emery says.

A key focus of the roadshow in all locations will be the heavy-duty 700 Series, which is the safest Hino truck ever and meets Euro 6 exhaust emission standards.

“With over 80 years of global experience in design and innovation, the roadshow is an opportunity for Hino to demonstrate our complete line-up of nextgeneration transport solutions and customer-focused support to our customers.”

The delivery includes the largest model to come out of Volvo’s Wacol factory

Matic Group goes with Volvo Matic Group has updated its growing fleet with the largest Volvo truck ever to roll off its Wacol assembly line Transport service solutions specialist Matic Group has looked to update its modern fleet of more than 200 trucks with new Volvo prime movers.

Matic’s order of the new Volvo FH16 XXL 700HP twin steer tri-drive prime movers is the largest Volvo XXL to roll off its Wacol assembly line to date.

Matic Group operates a modern fleet of 200-plus trucks of predominantly Volvo prime movers along with more than 750 pieces of trailing equipment.

“It was a proud moment for Matic Group founders Danny and Katia to receive the keys for the first Wacol built FH16 XXL cab, twin steer tri- drive,” Volvo Group Australia Regional Commercial manager Anthony Raisch says.

“It was also great timing, as this truck marks Matic Transport’s 20th anniversary this year!”

The new Volvo FH16 10x6 prime mover has a GCM of more than 200t and will be transporting cement in pressurised tankers based out of Geraldton to remote mining sites around Western Australia.

General manager of Volvo Sales at Truck Centre WA Kevin Kelly says the truck signifies 20 years of dedication that Danny Matic has devoted to Matic Group, of which

Truck Centre WA has partnered with Matic since its inception.

“Danny can be described as a man who has a genuine respect for all and has always had a dogmatic approach to find better ways to service his customers, which in turn has allowed Matic Group to be at the forefront of providing innovative transport solutions,” Kelly says.

Matic says it is the team spirit and the dedication from his people that drives him to do the work he does.

Truck Centre WA sales representative Ken Dowsen says Matic was looking for a truck that had high GCM, high horsepower and a big cab for driver comfort, but it had to be safe for his driver Tony Watson.

One of Matic’s company values is safety and this truck ticked all the boxes.

The Matic Group was established in 2002 by Danny and Katia Matic and operates several business entities under the group umbrella.

This includes Matic Transport Australia, Matic Resources and Bibra Lake Trailers with offices in Perth, Geraldton, Newman, Tom Price, Karratha, Darwin, Alice Springs and Adelaide.

It is a family owned, diversified transport and logistics company that specialises in servicing the resources, construction materials and oil and gas sectors. Matic Group is committed to safety, their customers, teamwork and performance.

The company invests heavily in safety resources and undertakes multiple campaigns to drive the safety culture across its entire operations. Campaigns include Safety First 24/7, Stop the Job and RESPECT (Home, Workplace, and Community).

From trucks to T’s

T-shirts and Trucker caps are just a few of the Mack branded options available from Cotton:On

With a heritage stretching back 123-years the Mack Truck brand has plenty of history to draw on for its latest fashion collaboration with Cotton:On “Built like a Mack Truck” is just one of the t-shirt slogans set to roll out across the world as part of a new deal between Mack Trucks and Australian clothing brand Cotton:On. The collaboration will see the creation of an exclusive line of Mack-branded menswear including t-shirts and trucker caps, capturing the aesthetics of the 1960s and 1970s.

The collection will feature past Mack logos and typefaces dating back to the arrival of the first Mack truck in Australia in 1919.

“We’re very fortunate to have the storied history that we do,” David Galbraith, Mack Trucks’ vice president of global brand and

marketing says. “Our heritage and place in American culture affords us many opportunities to work with other brands.

“Cotton:On is one of Australia’s defining clothing brands, so we jumped at the opportunity to collaborate and celebrate Mack’s international presence.”

Cotton:On category buyer Guy Cortis says when the group started thinking about potential partners for its Americana / workwear range the Mack brand stood out from the crowd.

“When we were workshopping the idea of a brand partnership to go with our Americana / workwear range, there was one brand that stood above all others – Mack Trucks, ” Cortis says.

“Mack is a massive part of American popular culture and globally recognised well outside the borders of the U.S. With such a rich and interesting heritage, it just made sense. And to put the icing on the cake, the logo is the world-famous Bulldog!”

Mack Trucks first opened its Queensland, Australia factory in 1963 – only about 50 miles from where Cotton:On would find its beginning 25 years later. Mack, now part of the Volvo Group, has since remained one of the country’s largest heavy-duty truck manufacturers, while its trucks and bulldog mascot have become recognisable cultural icons around the world.

DSE Transport continues with Iveco The Iveco S-Way heavy truck is building its fan base with a trio of models joining the DSE Transport fleet With 50 employees and more than 300 subcontracted drivers DSE (Delivering Service Excellence) Transport is a growing forced in the road transport industry.

Based in New South Wales and with a mix of local and intrastate deliveries in mind for the new trucks, DSE went looking for an option that best suited their fleet needs.

For DSE Transport State Manager Mitch Sherry, the safety and service offered by Iveco and the new S-Way model won the day, encouraging him to add three new Iveco’s to the fleet, in a first for the company.

“We evaluated several contenders but ultimately were attracted by the features of the S-Way, the added safety compared to others in the segment along with the styling of the trucks was attractive,” Mitch says.

Having started as a driver himself and about to celebrate his 16th year with DSE, Mitch has a thorough understanding of the daily freight tasks the company manages.

“My early life as a driver helps me better understand the challenges drivers face out on the road and from an operational perspective with things such as delays and other factors that are out of their control,” Mitch says.

“I can also appreciate how important it is to have the right vehicle for the application.”

The three new S-Way trucks added to the DSE fleet are fitted with 14 pallet

curtainsider bodies, ‘StrapNGo’ load restraint systems and three tonne tail lifts.

The curtains feature the company’s distinct livery and the cabins have also been wrapped to match.

The trucks feature 360hp / 1650Nm Euro6 (Step E) engines coupled to 12-speed Hi-Tronix automated manual transmissions and will be servicing a range of permanent and ad hoc customers, travelling anywhere between 500 and 1,000 km per week.

Mitch says safety is a major consideration for DSE and this greatly influenced the purchase decision as well as how the trucks were specified.

“Safety and compliance is front of mind for us, it’s one of the reasons we went for the larger AT cabin rather than the day cabin.

“Having a spacious and quality cabin allows for proper rest should the drivers need it, whether as part of their fatigue break requirements or if they feel tired and just need to stop for a rest.”

Standard safety features in the S-Way include Advanced Emergency Braking System, Brake Assistance System, Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning System, Electronic Stability Program with ABS (disc brakes all round) and ASR (Anti-Slip Regulation), Hill Holder and Driver Style Evaluation plus Driver Attention Support (DSE + DAS).

So far, the response from drivers has been great, Mitch says.

B According to DSE drivers, the latest S-Ways are better appointed than their own passenger vehicles!

C All three of the new vehicles are fitted with 14 pallet curtainsider bodies, ‘StrapNGo’ load restraint systems and tail lifts.

“They love them. I’ve had feedback from them saying that the trucks were more comfortable and well-appointed than their own cars. They comment on how quiet, smooth and easy to steer they are as well,” he says.

One thing that sets DSE apart from many competitors is an operating structure that sees a team of trained operators / allocators also act in a customer service capacity. This means that when customers contact the company, the person they speak with will be responsible for all aspects of handling the load, from booking, allocating, job monitoring to financial processing.

This customer-centric approach, transparency and accountability is something Mitch says he has also experienced with the dealer he bought the S-Ways from.

“We’re enjoying a good relationship with Sydney Iveco. It’s the friendly staff, and they always get back to me promptly and effectively. We’ll also use the dealership for ongoing servicing and maintenance of the trucks,” Mitch says.

US money for hydrogen trucks H2X Global, based in Sale, Victoria, is about to mix it with the big guns in the vehicle game through an investment worth more than $80 million Australian-based hydrogen powered vehicle maker H2X Global has secured funding worth $85.5 million from the US-based clean transportation company Verde Mobility to continue building hydrogen heavy vehicles.

The funding will help drive the rapid deployment of H2X Global’s vehicle range to customers in Asia, India, Australia and Europe.

H2X Global CEO Brendan Norman says the deal with Nebraska-based Verde Mobility was formed to develop zero emissions vehicles and manufacturing capability and would provide immediate growth.

“Our hydrogen fuel cell and powertrain means our vehicles are able to offer the same performance as traditional fuels and outperform battery electric,” Norman says.

“Combining this with Verde’s established manufacturing network to lower the cost of hydrogen vehicles, we are offering one of the world’s first commercially viable avenues to decarbonising the transport sector.

“Through this, we are providing a solution to cost and performance challenges associated with carbonfree transport, which is a proposition that will transform the automotive industry.”

H2X will gain access to manufacturing facilities that would

allow it to deliver $US25.7 million (A$38.5 million) in firm vehicle orders at a commercial scale and competitive cost.

It would also allow H2X, which is based in Sale, Victoria, to unlock its book of global purchase intent agreements covering 800 vehicles.

In May, H2X secured a $US23 million (A$34.5 million) to supply 37 of its Paroo hydrogen fuel cell powered trucks to Renova, which collects waste for local councils in Gothenburg, Sweden’s second largest city.

The H2X range also includes the Warrego utility vehicle, with a 130km/hr top speed and a range of 500km and the Swan passenger bus.

The investment by Verde Mobility will also support H2X’s planned listing on the London Stock Exchange.

Under the terms of the cornerstone investment deal: • H2X will have the option to accept up to $US57 million (A$85.5 million) from Verde Mobility from 2023 to 2024.

• Verde will make an initial $US3.4 million (A$5.1 million) investment in H2X. • H2X will continue to get access to capital as it delivers on operational milestones.

The deal will provide H2X with access to a wide range of industry

H2X Global, which is based out of Sale in Victoria, is bringing hydrogen power to the market with major contracts in the US and Sweden

experts, shared resources and manufacturing capabilities as it collaborates with Verde Mobility’s other extensive investments aimed at developing zero emissions transportation.

H2X will also gain access to several major manufacturing and distribution facilities across the greater European region, which will allow the company to begin delivering its hydrogen-based vehicle range to the market at a commercial scale and competitive cost.

H2X believes this will place it at the forefront of the transition to hydrogen vehicles and give it a first-mover advantage that will allow it to take significant market share.

The company plans to sustain its growth through the launch of the Darling van / Taxi, which will be the Company’s first fully-designed and developed vehicle, giving it greater market speed and increased profitability.

“The agreement with Verde will allow us to accelerate the launch of our fully developed Darling van, which we expect will ramp up vehicle production to 25,000 units a year and provide a solid financial base for the company,” Norman says.

Knight’s journey as a trailblazing female heavy diesel mechanic Paris Knight’s early passion for engines and her journey as a female heavy diesel mechanic in a traditionally male-dominated industry serve as an inspiring example of breaking barriers and empowering women. ATN sat down with the apprentice to hear how it all started Paris Knight says she knew from an early age that when she got older, she wanted to work on engines.

Growing up in rural northeast New South Wales (NSW) Knight learnt from her father how to fix the cars and four wheel drives they drove around the bush when something went wrong.

“Growing up in Corambah near Coffs Harbour and wanting to go out driving in the bush, you learn pretty quickly that out there you have to be able to depend on yourself and your own mechanical skills.

“I liked the feeling of working on the

cars and understanding how they worked,” Knight says.

Knight quickly sought out more opportunities to get herself closer to cars and engines. During high school she began helping out at her family friend’s businesses by washing trucks.

From there Knight did some work experience at a truck dealership and then after school became a heavy diesel mechanical apprentice at Mavin Truck Centre in Kempsey.

As part of her apprenticeship Knight is also enrolled in a Heavy Vehicle course at Coffs Harbour TAFE. She attends classes in between

her work as an apprentice and says the two modes of learning greatly complement each other.

“I love how varied mechanic work is, every day is different and no two trucks or engines are the same.

“Going from learning in the classroom to learning at the workshop is also really helpful. Often, I’ll come across something at work and realise we just learned about this exact problem in class,” Knight says.

Knight says she has had a positive experience at TAFE so far and is encouraged by the higher number of female students in the course.

“But it’s great to have the theoretical knowledge when you’re back in the workshop trying to work out what’s wrong with an engine,” Knight says.

Knight’s employer has also been pleased with the knowledge the TAFE course has been giving her.

Dealer Principle at Mavin Truck Centre Dean Mavin says Knight has a great skills base through her TAFE NSW training - and a positive attitude, which makes her a valuable employee.

“This is a fast-evolving industry with huge technical and environmental advancements being made all the time. We have several female apprentices, and they each adapt to new knowledge quickly. We need people like that in this industry,” Mavin says.

“It’s a great time to be an apprentice, with strong incentives in place to accelerate their career and a strong pathway to more senior roles. We are fortunate to have Heavy Vehicle

Paris Knight is enjoying her time learning the ins and outs of heavy vehicles

courses here in Coffs Harbour through TAFE NSW, as there is strong demand in this region for these workers.”

Knight says she is very focused on getting settled into a career as a heavy diesel mechanic and would encourage any other women who are interested in the trade to give it a go.

“If you’re keen and willing to learn then just go for it. Do some work experience first and see how you like it.

“It’s a great career, it’s very satisfying working with your hands and rewarding to know that if you get into any trouble out on the road you can just get down and fix it yourself,” Knight says.

Paris is enrolled in a Certificate III in Heavy Commercial Vehicle Technology at the Coffs Harbour TAFE

The semester one 2023 class at TAFE NSW Coffs Harbour had six females enrolled in Certificate III in Heavy Commercial Vehicle Mechanical Technology.

“It’s been really good learning alongside other women in the course, we’ve become good mates as a result.

“It makes me happy to see other women also stepping up to pursue something they’re interested in and getting out of their comfort zones.”

Knight concedes that theory and classroom-based learning isn’t usually her strong suite, but says she has enjoyed the challenge the course has offered her.

“The auto-electrical units are definitely the most challenging parts of the course for me.

Diagnostics: Open Road

When taking a break from the grind makes perfect sense The year is well past the midway point and many of us are at least vaguely thinking about our next holiday.

If you’re on social media, it’s hard to miss endless happy snaps of friends and acquaintances having a great time in the Northern Hemisphere.

Reality isn’t social media and not many of us will grow up to be an “influencer”.

Statistics firmly say those people sunning themselves in the Greek Islands are in the minority.

Australians don’t take enough holidays.

There. I said it.

Data from Roy Morgan from early this year showed that 8.1 million Australians in paid employment had banked more than 185 million days of annual leave.

That’s an increase of 149.5 million days on the same time a year before, and a record.

Whether you’re an employer, an employee, self-employed or a contractor, numbers like that make the mind boggle.

Perhaps inflation, a relatively weak Australian dollar and interest rates have something to do with it.

The pandemic isn’t officially over but it’s not like nobody can travel, even domestically.

OK, I hear you.

I realise that with driver shortages, this isn’t a topic that’s top of mind with most employers. It’s hard

NatRoad is reminding employers that managing staff leave is key for both financial and safety reasons

Warren Clark, CEO of the National Road Transport Association

enough finding drivers to deliver on a freight task that’s always increasing.

And with NatRoad largely being an employer group, advocating for employees to take more time off when economic times are tight doesn’t sound quite right.

It’s not that black and white.

Ours is an industry built on safety, however, and common sense says that not having annual leave isn’t conducive to great mental or physical health.

Most employers aren’t at the coalface driving day in and day out, but stress is a common denominator for us all.

So I’m not just talking about employees flying the coop.

The Fair Work Commission stresses that an employer can only direct an employee to take annual leave in some situations.

These include when the business is closed during the Christmas and New Year period or an employee has accumulated excess annual leave.

How and when these rules apply

vary depending on the award or registered agreement.

At this stage I’ll put in a plug for Fair Work’s leave calculator https:// calculate.fairwork.gov.au/Leave And if you’re a NatRoad member, navigating the award system and correctly calculating entitlements is as simple as a phone call to one of our advisers.

NatRoad has publicly said that there’s never been a more important time for employers to have common sense and a degree of sensitivity in dealing with employees.

Negotiating annual leave with a driver who wants to keep working is one of those situations.

From an employer perspective, it doesn’t make business sense to carry large liabilities from one financial year to another.

A study by the America’s International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans has found that employees who take their annual leaves are 40 percent more productive and less irritable, depressed, forgetful and easily fatigued compared to employees who don’t.

Refreshed, happy and alert employees are productive employees, whether they’re behind a wheel or doing the books.

News Country music star James Blundell has leant his support to the NHVR’s latest road safety campaign

Safely way out west After more than 35 years touring Australia’s country towns James Blundell knows what the nation’s truck drivers are up against With the help of his trusty guitar, Australian country music star, James Blundell has teamed up with the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) for its We All Need Space road safety campaign.

The singer knows what it’s like to spend hours at a time on the road and understands the plight of the country’s long-haul truck drivers.

“After touring for the past 35 years, I’ve clocked thousands of kilometres travelling right across the country,” Blundell says.

“Along the way, I’ve witnessed and experienced my fair share of close calls, driving through both major cities and remote areas.”

The country star, who also runs a hemp farm in Queensland’s southwest, has urged drivers to be safer around heavy vehicles.

“Whether you’re a truckie, car driver or a touring artist like me, we all share the road and we all set out to get to our destination safely,” Blundell says.

More than thirty years on from releasing the original song, Blundell has put a creative new spin on his smash hit ‘Way Out West’.

New lyrics for the catchy tune emphasise the importance of giving trucks the space they need, so all drivers can share the road safely.

“Way Out West holds a special place in my heart, and over the years it’s become an Australian country classic,” Blundell says.

“I’m proud to put a new spin on the song, helping motorists understand a truly important message.”

When he’s not on the road or in a recording studio, Blundell works

on the same farm he grew up on, in Stanthorpe.

“I relate to this campaign in more ways than one,” Blundell says.

“Having had my Heavy Vehicle Rigid licence since I was 19 years old, it’s safe to say I know my way around trucks and heavy machinery.

“Way out west in regional Queensland, you see hundreds of road trains on the roads.

“When a motorist is unaware of their surroundings, or doesn’t know how to share the road, things can go devastatingly wrong.

“It’s crucial to keep your cool and give truck drivers space.”

NHVR Executive Director Michelle Tayler said the number of fatal crashes involving a heavy vehicle was significantly higher in regional areas compared to metropolitan areas.

“Across Australia this year, there’s already been 53 fatal crashes involving a heavy vehicle in regional areas, compared to 20 in metropolitan areas,” Tayler says.

“These figures clearly tell us that we need to do more to get the message out there across all parts of the country to help save lives on our roads.

“It’s critical to give trucks the space they need, particularly on long, rural roads.”

Tayler says the NHVR was committed to educating road users to be more cautious, with the new Way Out West lyrics sharing a catchy but important message.

“We are always looking for new ways to educate drivers, and so the NHVR is extremely excited to welcome James to the campaign,” Tayler says.

“By combining his farming knowledge and musical talent, James is helping spread the word on heavy vehicle safety – so all road users can make it home to their loved ones.”

Feature The convoy in Brisbane

Convoys roll for a better industry A long line of trucks, including some bearing the brands of some of Australia’s biggest transport operators, rolled into Canberra on Saturday with a message for the country’s politicians Fears for the future viability of Australia’s transport industry brought truck drivers, employees, union representatives and industry associations together in Canberra on August 5 to push for industry reform.

Operators and drivers from throughout Australia were on hand as part of a series of convoys organised by the Transport Workers Union (TWU).

Those involved in this year’s event included operators Global Express, Toll, Linfox, Bevchain, ACFS, FBT Transwest, and transport associations including NatRoad, Australian Road Transport Industrial Organisation (ARTIO), and the National Road Freighters Association (NRFA).

Their mission is lobby politicians to vote in favour of legislated reform including the recent commitment by the Federal Government to empower the Fair Work Commission to set enforceable standards in transport to make the industry safer, fairer and more sustainable.

ARTIO Secretary Peter Anderson says common concerns have brought the industry together.

“The industry has come together like never before because we share the same frustrations, we have the same fears for the future of transport, and we know this reform committed by the Federal Government would unlock the industry’s potential,” Anderson says.

“Employers and workers alike know that transport supply chains have lost accountability, productivity and

are becoming progressively more dangerous.

“Operators are closing their doors, and workers are leaving the industry, or worse dying on the road.

“The gig economy’s entrance and rapid expansion only spells further doom for our essential industry.

We urgently need transport reform The convoy in Melbourne

The Sydney convoy en-route to Canberra

passed into law to give all industry participants a fighting chance.”

Anderson’s thoughts were mirrored by fellow industry association spokespeople.

NRFA Board Member Gordon Mackinlay and former fleet owner says conditions are dire.

“In 2016, I was one of the owner drivers leading a convoy to Canberra to get the Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal abolished,” Mackinlay says.

“Since then, our industry has been overlooked and things have got worse.

“I have experienced firsthand what the lack of standards in transport can do to an owner operator.

“In 2019, I sold my trucks and went back to being a mechanic. Today, I’m joining a convoy calling for reform.

I want the industry to be viable and make full time driving attractive again. There are dozens of others like me. That’s why we need reform, and we need it now.”

For NatRoad CEO Warren Clark, reform cannot come quickly enough.

“Our industry is at a critical point.

We need wide-ranging and sensible change that bolsters our viability, builds productivity and enhances safety for everyone,” Clarke says.

“As a point of principle, we support measures to ensure the safe performance of work, as long as they are evidence-based and able to be practically implemented in the workplace.”

TWU National Secretary Michael Kaine says a spate of transport operator closures, and a growing death toll of drivers reflected an industry in turmoil.

“This industry convoy is about showing Federal Parliament that transport is beyond breaking point and the solution is soon to be on the table before them,” Kaine says.

“Transport operators like Scott’s Refrigerated Logistics, Rivet Mining Services, Milkrun and 325 others

have collapsed over the last year under the strain of uncommercial contracts, untrammelled supply chain pressures and unfair competition from gig models like AmazonFlex.

“People are being slaughtered on our roads under the deadly commercial pressures that lead to unrealistic deadlines, delayed vehicle maintenance, and staying on the road too long.

“Already this year, 132 people have been killed in truck crashes, including 34 truck drivers. A further two transport gig workers have been killed – and there may be more that have fallen through the cracks of underreporting.

“This is an industry in utter disrepair. Federal Parliament will soon be asked to give this industry the regulatory lifeline it needs, and the hundreds of workers, employers and industry groups participating in this convoy are asking them to pass transport reform into law without delay.”

Female truckies fear rest areas A new report has recommended a variety of options to make truck stops a more inclusive environment for all drivers A new industry study completed by TMX Global has found that women driving heavy vehicles on Australian roads do not stop at rest areas if they don’t feel safe.

Female drivers surveyed for the study said poor lighting, unenclosed shower facilities, a lack of security and the risk of vandalism to vehicles prevents them from stopping at or using existing rest stops.

Women make up only three per cent of heavy vehicle drivers. Survey respondents say these conditions must improve if the industry wants to employ and retain more women.

Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds (HHTS), a not-for-profit which aims to improve the wellbeing of national transport, warehousing, and logistics workers, commissioned TMX Global to evaluate heavy vehicle rest areas across Australia.

“It is critical that heavy vehicles drivers are as mentally healthy

as they can be so that they can maintain concentration and deal with the stresses of the road,” a HTTS spokesperson says.

“To achieve this, it is critical that we provide the support they need while on the road: suitable rest areas are an important part of this support.”

The study, which included surveying men and women drivers, a literature review, industry consultation, crash data analysis and route analysis, found there are not enough fit-for-purpose rest areas for heavy vehicle drivers, which is impacting driver safety and mental and physical health.

Most survey respondents say they stop at rest areas due to fatigue and to use the bathroom. Fatigue and distraction, or inattention, are the two leading causes of heavy vehicle accidents in Australia.

“How a rest area is designed influences not only whether a driver

TMX has suggested ways to make truck stops safer for everyone

gets the rest they need, but whether they stop at all,” TMX Global associate director James Sheerin says.

“Without adequate space for turning and bitumen for parking, or well-lit, clean, and comfortable facilities, we know drivers are discouraged from using the rest stop.

“Improving this infrastructure for heavy vehicle drivers across the country will reduce the number of accidents on the road every year.”

Some of the report’s recommendations included: • The establishment of a National Heavy Vehicle Rest Area Strategy • Ongoing consultation of an industry ‘action group’ • Adding clean toilets and adequate parking to current minimum design standards for Heavy Vehicle rest areas • Design and implementation of a Heavy Vehicle Rest Area pilot stop.

Wallan derailment report lands The final report into the Wallan derailment that claimed the lives of two people has been released The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has released its final report into an investigation of a Wallan trail derailment in 2020.

The ATSB says a breakdown in risk management processes contributed to the derailment of the XPT passenger train in Victoria.

NSW Trainlink XPT passenger train ST23 was operating a service from Sydney to Melbourne on February 20, 2020, when it derailed entering a crossing loop at a speed of between 114 and 127 km/h, when the maximum permitted speed to enter the loop was 15 km/h.

The train’s leading power car overturned and slid on its side before coming to rest, and the driver and an accompanying qualified worker (who was in the power car alongside the driver to manage activation of a level crossing) did not survive the accident.

Eight passengers were admitted to hospital with serious injuries, while a

reported 53 passengers and the five passenger service crew sustained minor injuries.

An ATSB transport safety investigation into the accident, led by Victoria’s Chief Investigator Transport Safety and supported by the New South Wales Office of Transport Safety Investigations (OTSI), details 37 findings including 15 safety issues (an organisational or systemic safety factor with an identified on-going risk to safety).

The investigation says that a fire in a signalling hut earlier in the month meant led rail track infrastructure manager ARTC to put in place administrative arrangements whereby train authority documents gave train drivers permission to travel through a 24 km section of track between Kilmore East and Donnybrook while the signalling system was inoperative.

At Kilmore East, where the AQW

also boarded the train, the driver of ST23 was provided with a modified train authority document that included information on the routing of the train through Wallan Loop.

Trains were being sent through Wallan loop on February 20 to remove contaminants from the track prior to testing of repairs to the signalling system.

“In the 12 days prior to the accident, the driver had operated the XPT service through Wallan eight times and on all occasions the crossing loop was locked out of service, this has led us to believe they probably expected to remain on the straight track, where the speed limit was 130Km/h through Wallan,” ATSB Chief Commissioner Angus Mitchell says.

“However, there was no protocol in place to confirm the driver’s understanding of the revised instruction, with no requirement for the driver to read back or confirm the

instructions to the network control officer.”

Train working arrangements to manage traffic while the signalling system was not functioning deviated from ARTC network rules and there was ineffective management of the risks introduced by this deviation, the investigation found.

“We identified that several safety factors increased safety risk including weaknesses in ARTC risk management, the train working arrangements, risk controls including a reliance on manual processes, and stakeholder engagement,” Chief Investigator of Transport Safety Mark Smallwood says.

“There were several available and practical risk controls that were not used and there continues to be a high reliance on administrative controls and a slow take up of technological solutions by the rail infrastructure manager to improve safety.”

The investigation also highlighted that the design of the XPT driver’s cab contributed to the adverse outcome for the driver and accompanying qualified worker and that passenger

briefings, onboard guides and signage did not provide a reasonable opportunity for all passengers to have knowledge of what to do in an emergency.

The investigation also found that NSW Trains did not have a functioning process for obtaining safety critical information for its Victorian operations from the ARTC web portal.

“Critical to successful risk management in degraded network conditions is the involvement of network users in the identification and assessment of emergent risks, and user participation in the development of appropriate risk controls,” Smallwood says.

“This investigation highlights the importance of effective risk management for managing planned and unplanned track and infrastructure works, such as in this instance the loss of signalling through Wallan.”

The Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) has announced it will be carrying out crucial freight rail enhancement works between Narrabri and Turrawan in New South Wales throughout August as part of the 35km Narrabri to Turrawan Line Upgrade.

The works will surveying, drainage works, re-sleepering and re-railing the track.

Further enhancements are planned within the existing rail corridor between Narrabri Coal and Turrawan, with works occurring between over two weekends, including August 26-27.

The $44.7m Narrabri to Turrawan Line Upgrade involves the upgrade of 35km of track between the Hunter Valley Coal Network, which will create a connection into the future Inland Rail project.

“There will be works at several locations within the rail corridor at sites including Narrabri Station (Reid Street and Logan Street), Spencer Street, Narrabri and Turrawan Road, Turrawan,” ARTC group executive major construction projects Mike Zambelli says.

“ARTC will replace existing steel and timber sleepers with heavy duty concrete sleepers, replace the existing rail with upgraded rail, replacing ballast and conduct necessary earthworks for the project at various sites.

Our work teams always endeavour to minimise any noise and disruptions the works may cause.

“As part of the works, road users may experience longer waits at the Fitzroy St Level Crossing in Narrabri for the duration of the works to allow for the enhancement works to be completed safely and efficiently as possible. We apologise for the inconvenience and as always we appreciate the patience and cooperation of motorists, commuters and customers.”

Zambelli says the ARTC has limited opportunities throughout the year to safely access the track, with the ARTC making the most of short windows to carry out jobs in a planned approach.

“We also ask members of communities close to the rail corridor to be cautious during the shutdown period and keep an eye out for increased vehicle movements in and out of work sites,” Zambelli says.

Clean energy for Newcastle Partnerships will help the Port of Newcastle become a zeroemissions leader in the Australian port industry The Port of Newcastle has released details of 30 supporting partnerships that will catapult the port towards its world-class clean energy economy goals for the Hunter Region.

The partnerships include domestic and multi-national organisations and complements recent federal government funding into these partnerships, with the Port last securing a $100 million grant in 2022 for the Clean Energy Precinct.

Port of Newcastle CEO Craig Carmody says the project is one of two key developments in the Port’s 2030 diversification strategy.

“Our dedicated 220-hectare Clean Energy Precinct offers the perfect platform for large scale clean energy production. It will be supported by common user, open access, shared infrastructure across clean energy storage, transport and export facilities servicing production from the Precinct itself and from right across

the Hunter Region,” Carmody says.

“We are standing at the forefront of the development of a new industry. Partnerships, both local and international, which bring together infrastructure, investment, knowledge, skills and resources, will be critical in the establishment and scale-up of a domestic clean energy economy and export trade pathway at Port of Newcastle.

“Creating a place for local, Australian and international commercial expertise and research knowledge to work collaboratively, ensures Newcastle and the Hunter remains Australia’s energy powerhouse.”

As the federal government’s priority hydrogen hub in NSW, to date, Port of Newcastle has signed 15 Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) agreements to support the development, storage and export pathway enablement of a clean energy economy at Port of Newcastle.

Representatives from the organisations who have signed the Memorandum of Understanding with Port of Newcastle gathered on site recently

Memoranda of Understanding agreements have been formalised with the likes of coNEXA, EnergyCo, Energy Estate, Eurus Energy, Fortescue Future Industries, Hunter Hydrogen Network, KEPCO (Korea), Lake Macquarie City Council, Lumea (Transgrid), Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (Japan), MOL Group (Japan), Orica, Origin, Platform Zero (Rotterdam) and University of Newcastle.

Among those to also pledge their support formally for the Port’s Clean Energy Precinct plans are AGL, Ampcontrol, Aurizon, bp Australia, Business Hunter, Hunter iF, Hyundai Australia, Infrabuild , Jemena, Keolis Downer, Linde Engineering, NewH2, Newcastle City Council, Snowy Hydro and Westrac.

Report unveils port risks External pressures and weather patterns are potentially causing global ports billions of dollars

Big lift for Patrick Terminals Patrick Terminals has made its Port of Melbourne container handling operations more sustainable through new Kalmar hybrid straddle carriers Australian container terminal operator Patrick Terminals has announced that Kalmar, part of Cargotec, will supply 10 new Kalmar hybrid straddle carriers to Patrick Terminals’ site at the Port of Melbourne.

The order was booked in Cargotec’s 2023 third quarter intake, with delivery to the operator, that handles more than three million TEUs annually, expected to be completed during the first quarter of next year.

Patrick Terminals operates some of Australia’s most technologically advanced terminals at four ports, including Brisbane Terminal, Sydney Terminal, Melbourne Terminal and Fremantle Terminal.

Patrick Terminals CEO Michael Jovicic says Patrick Terminals is proud to be the first container terminal operator in Australia to invest in the Kalmar hybrid straddles and set benchmarks for more environmentally friendly container handling.

“As a leader in the industry, we understand the importance of

New hybrid straddles will save costs and improve productivity at Patrick Terminals in Melbourne

reducing our carbon footprint and promoting environmentally responsible practices,” Jovicic says.

“Together with our trusted partner, Kalmar, we have a shared dedication to building a more sustainable industry. By investing in these hybrid straddles, we are making a strong commitment towards our decarbonisation journey.”

Kalmar APAC Horizontal Transportation sales director Allan Baker says Kalmar is pleased to continue its collaboration with Patrick Terminals.

“We are delighted with the order of the first 10 hybrid straddle carriers for Patrick Terminals, Melbourne,” Baker says. “The hybrid straddles, which can cut fuel consumption by up to 40 per cent compared to equivalent diesel-powered machines, will play an important role in supporting Patrick Terminals with their decarbonisation strategy.”

The latest report from Oxford’s Environmental Change Institute suggests more than $122 billion of economic activity, including $81 billion in international trade, is at risk at the world’s ports courtesy of extreme climate events.

According to the paper in Nature Climate Change, systemic impacts – those risks faced due to knock-on effects within global shipping, trade and supply chains network - will hit ports and economies around the world, even if the local ports are not directly affected by extreme events.

In fact, according to the study, some $81 billion per year maritime trade is at-risk, around 60 per cent of which is because of cross-border knock-on effects; those outside a country’s own jurisdiction.

Parts of northern Europe, the western United States, Southern Australia, the Middle East and West Africa are particularly expected to feel such effects, mainly because of dependencies on East Asian ports. This is important because the risks faced as a result of foreign dependencies on ports are often overlooked. This became dramatically visible when Ukraine grain ports suddenly closed due to the Russian invasion, and it all has a flow-on impact on Australia’s ports.

When the spill-over disruptions to dependent ports, trade flows, global supplychains are taken into account, this adds up to a total potential at-risk cost of atleast $122 billion of economic activity – say the researchers.

“This clearly highlights the importance of quantifying these so-called systemic risks, as only looking at localised damage to infrastructure can hide the wider economic losses that could materialise during extreme events,” the paper’s lead author Dr Jasper Verschuur says.

The paper calls on countries to consider regulation to mitigate potential impacts of climate extremes, the research team suggests identifying alternative trading routes or partners and improving the resilience of port systems to such shocks.

A previous analysis by the same researchers already revealed that physical damages to ports from storms, floods and other climatic extremes can add up to almost 8 billion USD of losses each year to global ports.

Overheight breaches hit hard The NSW government has named the six companies were punished for recent overheight breaches in Sydney tunnels The NSW government has acted following the recent spate of overheight breaches by heavy vehicles in Sydney tunnels this year.

The government has announced it has suspended the registration of seven trucks due to overheight breaches.

The seven trucks will be removed from the road for six months with suspended registrations as the NSW government raises the pressure on companies and owners to stop overheight vehicle incidents in Sydney’s road tunnel network.

Since July 14, six companies and one owner-operator whose vehicles breached height clearance rules and stopped traffic have been served with registration suspensions as part of the government’s zero-tolerance approach to overheight incidents.

BG Drilling has been issued with a suspension notice for an incident on June 16 in which a truck registered to the company struck sprinklers in the Airport Tunnel, activating the deluge system. A northbound lane had to be closed and traffic held in both

directions while the truck was taken out of the tunnel.

Absperex Services will also be without a truck after an incident on June 29 when its truck fitted with a self-loading container arm hit the physical barrier ahead of the Cooks River Tunnel before the driver lowered the arm inside the tunnel and proceeded to a breakdown bay on the M5, disrupting traffic.

The other five companies that will have one less truck in their fleets for the next six months are Brisbane Transport, Recycling Metal Industries, Transpacific Superior Pak, D & H Group Australia and an individual operator.

These follow the first registration suspension in late June since a deal between the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator and the NSW government which sees all overheight breaches automatically referred to Transport for NSW for investigation and sanction.

“The NSW government is a supporter of the freight industry and the overwhelming majority of

truck drivers who do the right thing, know the height of their load and plan accordingly. These registrations suspensions are necessary because our message of zero tolerance has unfortunately not yet got through to all drivers,” NSW roads minister John Graham says.

“The message to those who own and operate trucks is if you do not plan properly and your drivers find themselves overheight and being backed into a slip lane then there are severe consequences for your business - not just the individual driver’s licence and bank account.

“Registration suspensions are one way to ensure we see fewer cases in which Sydney traffic is brought to its knees. We have also formed the Overheight Truck Taskforce, bringing together NSW Police, the freight industry, transport and the Transport Workers’ Union to formulate new strategies to address this persistent problem.”

Adam Copp

Infrastructure Australia’s new CEO Acting CEO appointed to the top job for three years After 12 months acting as CEO of Infrastructure Australia (IA), Adam Copp has been confirmed as the substantive CEO for the next three years.

IA, the Commonwealth Government’s independent adviser on nationally significant infrastructure investment, appointed Copp as interim CEO in August 2022 after Romilly Madew resigned from the role.

Copp has more than 15 years’ experience in the federal government holding a range of policy, strategy and engagement roles across infrastructure, workplace relations and the Council of Australian Governments.

He was appointed CEO by the IA Board after it undertook a publicly advertised and merit-based selection process.

“The appointment of Mr Copp will enhance the critical role IA plays in delivering quality independent advice to the federal government on infrastructure that supports the economy, builds the nation, and provides for the future,” federal transport minister Catherine King says.

“The appointment of the CEO complements broader work underway to restore IA to its rightful place as an expert advisory body following the independent review of IA commissioned by the government last year.”

Infrastructure Australia interim Chair Gabrielle Trainor says IA is pleased to have Copp onboard to continue his strong leadership in a permanent capacity.

“At a time when the infrastructure sector in Australia is facing significant and complex challenges, Adam’s leadership will ensure Infrastructure Australia is positioned to provide the trusted, rigorous and expert independent advice the federal government needs to address these challenges and, in turn, drive better outcomes,” Trainor says.

Rail authority CEO search begins The federal government is on the lookout for a CEO to lead the new High Speed Rail Authority The federal government says it has begun the search for a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) to drive the nation’s new High Speed Rail Authority.

The Authority commenced operations in June, with its first day of operation on June 13, to progress the government’s election commitment of establishing a High Speed Rail Authority to plan and develop a high speed rail network along the east coast of Australia.

Now the organisation has begun recruitment for a permanent leader to steer the Authority, whose board is chaired by Jill Rossouw and supported by Gillian Brown, Dyan Perry, Ian Hunt and Neil Scales.

The CEO will be sourced through a merit-based process with key criteria including high level leadership and a demonstrated track record in complex transport related infrastructure. The appointment will be for a period of up to five years.

“Advertising for a permanent Chief Executive Officer is an important new step in progressing high-speed

The federal governments wants a High Speed Rail Authority CEO

rail in Australia,” federal transport minister Catherine King says.

“With all the moving pieces starting to take shape, the High Speed Rail Authority continues to gain momentum, led by a team of rail and infrastructure experts.

‘We are on the lookout for an accomplished and respected leader, with the experience and expertise in managing large and complex transport infrastructure operations to progress high speed rail.”

The CEO will work closely with the Board to lead the newly established Authority to advise government on the planning, construction and operation of a transformational high speed rail network with the first stop being planning and corridor works for the Sydney to Newcastle section of the network, backed by a $500 million federal government commitment.

ATSB appoints new Commissioner

The federal government is welcoming the latest ATSB Commissioner, who brings with him a wealth of transport and aviation experience The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) has announced its latest Commissioner, with Peter Wilson appointed to the role.

The federal government says this appointment recognises Wilson’s significant operational and senior executive experience in leadership and corporate roles across transport, including the aviation sector.

Wilson has accumulated around 17,500 professional flying hours over his operational career of almost 30 years at Qantas along with senior leadership experience at Virgin Australia and Tiger Air. His experience in these roles include being Chief Pilot, General Manager and Chief Operating Officer.

The federal government says

Wilson will bring to the ATSB high levels of technical expertise, experience and credibility, having served on a number of boards already.

“This appointment ensures that the ATSB’s Commission continues to have high levels of experience across rail, maritime and air transport – the three modes of transport for which they have investigatory responsibility,” federal transport minister Catherine King says.

“I look forward to continuing to work with the ATSB Commission to ensure the highest transport safety for the Australian public through independent investigations and influencing safety action.”

New CFO for Volvo Mats Backman has been appointed as Chief Financial Officer and a new member of Volvo Group´s Executive Board.

He will succeed Jan Ytterberg, who will continue as a Volvo Group senior advisor.

Volvo says Backman has held many senior positions in Swedish industry and has extensive international experience. He has been the Chief Financial Officer for several well-known companies such as Sandvik, Autoliv and Veoneer.

Mats Backman is the new Volvo Group CFO

He will take on his new position during the second half of 2023 with Volvo saying the exact date is yet to be decided.

Brown and Hurley has begun the hunt for a new CEO as its current leader announces retirement plans Brown and Hurley is now on the lookout for a new Chief Executive Officer as outgoing CEO Paul Hurley has announced his retirement.

Hurley will retire at the end of the 2024 calendar year, giving the commercial truck and trailer dealer plenty of time to find a replacement.

Hurley became CEO back in July 2018 and has been a highly regarded leader who significantly contributed to the company’s extensive growth across the truck and trailer category of the business and also in the agricultural machinery segment.

The company currently has a presence in 21 locations in Queensland and Northern NSW with more than 600 staff.

It is expected Hurley, who is a thirdgeneration family member, will take up a director’s role on the Brown and Hurley board, joining Rob Brown, Jim, Kev and Doug Hurley and John Casey.

“The company’s board has decided to explore all options in finding a CEO to take over Paul’s role,” a Brown and Hurley spokesperson said.

“Recruitment for the position will commence shortly, with the aim of having the new CEO in place mid-2024 to allow a seamless transition to the new CEO.” The company, which has been in business for 77 years, is, at present, evenly split in its ownership by the Brown family and the Hurley family.

With a healthy order book deep into 2025, the company has several new facilities in the planning stages to replace existing facilities that have outgrown their current sites.

“The board is committed to the company maintaining its business philosophy, work culture, financial position and customer service to the highest standard, and will be seeking a CEO to maintain and enhance that,” a Brown and Hurley spokesperson says.

Executive moves Pillay has earned the CFO role after more than 15 years with DHL

New CFO for DHL Supply Chain The new CFO of Australia and New Zealand will draw on years of experience within the organisation Contract logistics company DHL Supply Chain has announced the appointment of Brindha Pillay as its Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Australia and New Zealand.

Pillay will succeed Craig Roberts, an invaluable member of the DHL Group for nearly three decades, who will be relocating to a DHL role overseeing Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA).

DHL says Pillay has been a strong contributor to the organisation for more than 15 years, having started her DHL career as Australia’s finance manager. Prior to this role, she was the Senior Vice President, Global Head of Accounting and Process Digitalisation Finance at DHL. During her time in DHL, Pillay championed a number of strategic initiatives, including the creation and implementation of the first key milestones of the overall strategy for the Accounting Function globally.

“I am excited to take on the role of CFO for DHL Supply Chain in ANZ and continue to champion excellence in the office of finance across the business,” Pillay says.

“Craig has built a strong finance organisation, and I’m committed to driving value for the organisation,

focusing on strong financial performance, process innovation and transformative growth.”

Roberts says he is proud to be passing on the role to Pillay.

“It gives me great pleasure to pass the torch to Brindha, whose exceptional skills and dedication will undoubtedly drive continued success for DHL Supply Chain in ANZ. I couldn’t think of a better person to succeed me and have full confidence in her ability to continue driving strategic value for the business,” Roberts says.

“I’ve been working very closely with Brindha to ensure a smooth and successful transition.”

DHL says Roberts has been a valued member of the DHL group for almost 30 years, first joining in 1995 as a Financial Accountant in South Africa. He held various CFO positions in APAC and EMEA before relocating to Australia in 2017 to lead the financial operations across ANZ. Throughout his time in Australia, Roberts was instrumental in the strategic acquisition of the Cameron Group, the development of several strategic projects and made a significant contribution to the growth of the business.

DHL Supply Chain Asia Pacific CFO Kwok-wai Lee says the company has confidence in Pillay stepping into the role of CFO. “I have worked closely with Brindha and Craig over the years and have seen first-hand their excellent contributions to the DHL Supply Chain business,” Lee says.

New funding from the Victorian State Government will be used to update old truck fleets around Melbourne

Victorian government pushing to upgrade truck fleets The Victorian government has announced massive new funding that will help clean Melbourne’s air The Victorian state government has announced it is delivering on a pledge made at last year’s election as it seeks to improve air quality in Melbourne’s inner western suburbs by modernising truck fleets and sealing local roads.

As part of a $20 million package, $15 million will target truck operators who regularly use inner western roads and make grants available to support a transition to trucks that produce fewer emissions.

A further $5 million in grants will be made available to local councils to seal local roads, reducing dust pollution.

The state government is already taking action to reduce air pollution through its investments in climate change and renewable energy.

“We promised we’d make air cleaner in Melbourne’s inner west and that’s what we’re doing: replacing emissions-heavy old trucks and sealing roads to reduce dust pollution,” Victorian ports and freight minister Melissa Horne says.

The state’s Zero Emissions Vehicle Roadmap is supported by a $100 million investment to ensure Victoria is a leader in adopting zero emissions vehicles.

Melbourne’s inner west

experiences significantly higher volumes of heavy vehicle traffic than other parts of Melbourne due to its high concentration of industrial uses, including empty container parks and its proximity to the Port of Melbourne.

The Victorian government is working with community and industry to reduce the environmental impact of heavy vehicles, while making roads safer for pedestrians by lowering speed limits and banning trucks on some roads.

The completion of the West Gate Tunnel Project in 2025 and the introduction of truck bans will remove 9,000 trucks from roads in the inner west and cut congestion for local communities.

The government also continues to implement Clean Air for all Victorians, the state’s first overarching air quality strategy. It’s invested $2.8 million to establish two air quality improvement precincts in the Inner West and Outer West of Melbourne, reducing air pollution and address emerging environmental challenges, in partnership with the community and business.

“Through this important package and the implementation of our Air Quality Strategy, we’re taking action to improve air quality and tackle pollution in the west,” environment minister Ingrid Stitt says.

Recycled roads

Melbourne university, RMIT, says roads mixed with recycled plastics at sites across Victoria will demonstrate a viable circular-economy solution to the nation.

An RMIT University-led project – supported by the Australian Research Council, Austroads and 10 Victorian councils – is set to incorporate recycled plastic from consumer and industrial waste, including notoriously stubborn soft plastics, into asphalt as a performance enhancer.

RMIT says Australians generate 2.6 million tonnes of plastic waste each year and are rapidly filling landfill space, its project aims to help address this urgent challenge.

Project lead, RMIT Associate Professor Filippo Giustozzi, says the team will also produce best-practice guidelines on the use of recycled

plastics in asphalt roads.

“These guidelines will enable local governments, which control 80 per cent of the nation’s roads, to begin widescale adoption of this innovative recycling solution,” Giustozzi says.

The City of Melbourne and nine suburban and regional councils will be involved in the project, each having sections of recycled road up to 900 metres long to be paved over the coming months.

The 10 project sites will use an estimated 21,000 kg of recycled plastic, but RMIT says the potential scale of this solution is considerable given the several hundred thousand

kilometres of roads across Australia.

“If Australia’s 537 local governments each used a small amount of recycled plastic in the many roads they resurface each year, then nationally we’ll have created a large end-market for recycled plastic,” Giustozzi says.

Extensive laboratory studies conducted by RMIT for Austroads – the collective of Australian and New Zealand transport agencies – show these mixes are mechanically, chemically, and environmentally sound.

“The performance of roads can actually be improved with the

additions of recycled material, such as plastic and rubber, to be more durable against traffic and resistant against ageing,” Giustozzi says.

The team’s latest study, funded

by Austroads and published in top journal Science of The Total Environment, found the recycled plastic asphalt mixtures had 150 per cent less cracking and 85 per cent less deformation under pressure testing than conventional asphalt.

“These studies tell us that adding specific types of plastic in the right way can generate greater rutting and fatigue resistance,” Giustozzi says.

“In some instances, the performance of the mix was similar to some of the more expensive polymers used in roads and substantially higher than

conventional asphalt mixes.”

RMIT says the partnership with Victorian councils and Austroads will translate these findings into applied solutions that enhance the sustainability of our roads.

“This is a critical step in demonstrating the feasibility of this approach to tackling a problematic waste stream in Australia, while establishing a trusted network for plastics recycling in road applications,” Giustozzi says.

Austroads Chief Executive, Geoff Allan, noted increasing interest in exploring the viability of repurposing recycled waste plastic, and said Austroads was leading ground-breaking work to investigate the most suitable types of plastics for use in roads.

“This project builds on the work completed last year that confirmed recycled plastics can be successfully incorporated in road infrastructure without detrimental effects on the environment, the health and

safety of the workers, or the future recyclability of plastic-modified asphalt,” Allan says.

“A major contribution of this project will be to develop evidencebased guidance that will provide certainty to road managers about the use of recycled plastics in road surfacing applications and thus lay the foundations for this solution to be embraced nationally.”

Along with Austroads, the collaboration includes Australia’s leading pavement authorities and specialists, including public works and building bodies, recyclers and contractors. It will be coordinated under the ARC Industrial Transformation Research Hub for Transformation of Reclaimed Waste Resources to Engineered Materials and Solutions for a Circular Economy.

Local government areas involved in the project include City of Melbourne, Banyule, Bayside, Moonee Valley, Hobsons Bay, Baw Baw, Latrobe, Casey, Mornington Peninsula and Wyndham.

Siemens will work with State and Federal ministers on rail improvements

Siemens to improve rail interoperability Manufacturer Siemens has signed an MoC that is set to boost rail technology around Australia The National Transport Commission (NTC) has announced that rail and technology manufacturer Siemens has signed a historic agreement with Australian ministers to commit to improving national rail interoperability.

In a major boost for the rail industry, Siemens has agreed to work with Australian transport and infrastructure ministers on this task.

Siemens Australia and New Zealand CEO Raphaelle Guerineau signed the Memorandum of Cooperation (MoC) for rail interoperability alongside NTC CEO Michael Hopkins at Siemens’ Port Melbourne manufacturing facility.

This facility already supplies locally built rail infrastructure and technology across Australia and Asia.

The MoC is part of the National Rail Action Plan and supports government and industry efforts to consider national interoperability when planning future rail investments.

The NTC says working together with Siemens and government will be the catalyst that delivers an Australian rail network that works smoothly across state borders while using technologies and systems.

“Thank you to Siemens and other MoC signatories, which includes transport ministers from the Commonwealth and state governments, Alstom, Aurizon, ARTC and rail operators,” the NTC says.

Inland Rail back on track An Australian owned company has won a $403 million contract to deliver the next phase of Inland Rail The federal government says it is delivering on its commitment to get Inland Rail back on track starting with completing the line between Beveridge in Victoria and Parkes in New South Wales by 2027.

Australian owned company Martinus Rail has been awarded a $403.5 million contract to design and deliver enhancement works on the 183 kilometres of track between Albury to Illabo and the 170 kilometres of track between Stockinbingal to Parkes.

These vital works include enhancements to station precincts in Albury, Wagga Wagga and Forbes, bridge upgrades, track lowering and slews, and an additional crossing loop at Daroobalgie to create the height and width clearances required for doubled-stacked freight trains.

“The federal government is committed to getting the delivery of Inland Rail back on track,” federal transport minister Catherine King says.

“With this contract we are living up to our commitment to prioritise the completion of Inland Rail south of Parkes by 2027.”

Martinus Rail will help complete the next stages of the Inland Rail

On-site works are planned to commence between Stockinbingal and Parkes by late-2023 with works between Albury and Illabo planned to commence by mid-2024.

Construction will only proceed once final approvals are obtained.

The government’s continued investment in Inland Rail is creating new opportunities for local businesses and communities in New South Wales to participate in and benefit from the delivery of Inland Rail.

“Progressing the Inland Rail stages south of Parkes will unlock the benefits of Inland Rail sooner, creating local jobs and boosting regional communities,” finance minister Katy Gallagher says.

“Inland Rail is supporting Australian companies, with more than $2.7 billion in contracts already awarded to more than 400 suppliers and businesses across the country.”

Local governments increase infrastructure cost The WRF has commissioned an AI study revealing an alarming trend for urban policies around Australia An AI study released by the Western Roads Federation (WRF) says current policies being rolled out by state and local governments are only adding congestion and emissions while increasing freight costs.

The WRF-commissioned AI pilot study says planning policies from local governments aimed at creating greater urban density are resulting in more congestion and emissions in Australia while freight costs are increased by nearly 20 per cent.

The study was undertaken by Sydney-based AI company Hiroco, who deployed their flagship product, MARTAS, to assess the impact of operational constraints on freight logistics in the Perth greater region.

MARTAS is a sophisticated planning and task allocation tool that efficiently solves complex logistics problems under constraints.

WRF Chief Executive Cam Dumesny says the Hiroco study validates the ongoing concerns from members of WRF’s Metro Logistics Group, which includes transport stakeholders from all sectors of the urban freight task, retailers, town planners and academics.

“Increasing the population density means more freight being moved in, around and out of built-up inner-city areas. Our Metro Logistics Group is ‘on the ground’, telling us this increase in road movements is leading to additional safety risks for freight operators, light vehicles and the wider community,” Dumesny says.

“Like many governments around Australia, the WA government has a strategy to increase the population density of inner city areas by up to 47 per cent. The study shows this will lead to a significant increase in the demand for everyday freight tasks, such as the supplies to supermarkets and retail stores, general business supplies, household removals and online shopping, right through to waste collection. In turn, this will inevitably lead to more freight vehicles, more emissions and more complaints from local communities.

“If our MPs and mayors truly want liveable, sustainable and prosperous cities, we urge them to work collaboratively with the transport and logistics industry to deliver better urban planning policies and regulations that remove barriers to

productivity, emissions reduction and community safety.

“We believe we can develop a progressive freight system which has cleaner or zero emissions and lower noise impacts on the community, yet is more safely productive. While we support changes to alternative energy vehicles, these won’t be the full solution and in fact, could drive up costs in the short to medium term.”

Dumesny says the WRF’s Metro Logistics Group is now working with Curtin University’s Associate Professor Liz Jackson on developing ‘practical solutions’ to address the impact of density on freight in urban areas and achieve connected, sustainable, liveable cities.

“This will require an integrated strategy that includes technology, process, regulation and even changes in residents’ behaviour,” he says.

“Given the complexity of competing challenges and constraints, we believe there is a major role for AI in helping address these issues and deliver best outcomes for freight operators, drivers and the wider community.”

Refuelling station opens at Port Kembla

Australian hydrogen refuelling history has been made at Port Kembla

The first Australian hydrogen refuelling site for heavy vehicles is now live in NSW Australian transport history was made recently as the nation’s first hydrogen refuelling station for heavy vehicles opened at Port Kembla, NSW. Coregas, the largest Australian owned industrial gases company, launched the Coregas H2Station to lead the clean mobility revolution and to stimulate Australia’s emerging hydrogen sector.

While Australia’s renewable energy revolution is underway, Coregas says the transport sector remains a largely untapped opportunity for emissions reductions. Unlike batteries for electric vehicles, Coregas says Fuel Cell Electrical Vehicles (FCEV) powered by hydrogen deliver heavy vehicles a lighter, longer-distance solution combined with fast refuelling and high payload capability.

Construction of the $2 million H2Station has been assisted by a $500,000 NSW government grant.

The H2Station will facilitate the introduction of zero-emissions hydrogen fuel cell trucks to the

Illawarra-Shoalhaven region and local heavy vehicles will be encouraged to access the H2Station, which can rapidly refuel up to 10 vehicles daily.

The H2Station is a low-cost commercial solution capitalising on existing infrastructure aimed to seed a future network of hydrogen fuelled transport.

“Locating H2Station alongside Coregas’ existing hydrogen production plant and transport hub for bulk hydrogen in Port Kembla creates operational and cost efficiencies,” Coregas Australia executive general manager Alan Watkins says.

“The H2Station will allow hydrogen trucks to access the majority of the Illawarra-Shoalhaven region and reach metropolitan Sydney.”

Wakins says transitioning Coregas’ diesel truck fleet to FCEVs is a cornerstone of the company’s decarbonisation roadmap.

“Coregas’ diesel truck fleet travels

almost six million kilometres every year, which is equivalent to driving 150 times around the world,” Watkins says.

“This contributes to 54 per cent of Coregas’ carbon emissions.”

Working with project partner Haskel, the H2Station will compress hydrogen from the existing Coregas plant up to 500bar, enabling supply into the 350bar cylinders on board the FCEV. The hydrogen dispensing system has the capacity to discharge 400 kilograms of fuel cell grade hydrogen.

“The hydrogen system utilises Coregas’ world-leading compression, storage and dispensing equipment specifically designed and optimised for Port Kembla,” Haskel Hydrogen business development manager (APAC) Stewart Anderson says.

By facilitating the introduction of hydrogen trucks in Australia, Coregas is building demand for its locally produced hydrogen gas and supporting the broader community to decarbonise their transport.

Earth movers Behind many of the country’s trucking operations are stories of motivated families determined to make a go of it in the world of transport, whatever it takes, as our writer Jacquelene Brotherton found out. Images by the Eather Group Peter and Sally-ann Eather made the decision to go into business because of their daughter, Divinia.

They decided on earthmoving, as this was Peters’ area of expertise.

I recently spoke to Sally-ann and Divinia on the Long-Haul Legends Podcast on Australian Truck Radio.

We spoke about the Eather story, how it started, how it’s going and their support of the community and industry.

Sally-ann says she and Peter were always risk takers and they decided that they wanted something more than what they had with the trajectory that they were on at the time.

They identified an opportunity to purchase a truck, so they went into full hock and got enough money together to buy an old 1995 Mack, exReady Mix. Nobody would drive the pink Ready-Mix truck and they had to repaint it white to find a driver – how times have changed. Divinia says she was devastated as she loved the pink truck.

Peter and Sally-ann continued to work at their full-time jobs and had a driver in the truck.

Then, after a year Peter, left his job

and from there the business started to grow. A couple of years later it was able to support both their careers, enabling Sally-ann to join the family company full-time.

Since the purchase of that first exReady-Mix truck in 2010 the fleet has grown to 20 trucks and more than 20 pieces of equipment and plant.

This is an example of trucking industry tenacity where a strong work ethic can eventually lead from humble beginnings to a successful operation.

Eather Group is not only a family company but an extended family company with many relatives having worked for the business throughout the years. It also extends this relationship to the local community with 92.1 per cent of the employees coming from the local area.

Divinia keeps a close track of the numbers and current statistics show that 31 per cent of employees are women, 39 per cent identify as First Nations, 25 per cent are under 25, six per cent are living with disabilities and 60 per cent are culturally and linguistically diverse.

Eather focus on providing and creating pathways and opportunities

The Eather family: From left, Peter, Divinia and Sally-ann

for people who make up their community and being a community provider. This approach creates opportunities for refugees and immigrants as well, giving them a diverse workforce that they are justly proud of.

Each person brings a different perspective to the business with varying areas of expertise and skills, as well as communication styles and ideas.

I think the biggest thing I see in the industry is a lot of people don’t see a pathway into it, especially for females. It can be very difficult to find a way in, even when they are keen to work in the industry.

Transport Women Australia Limited has a lot of initiatives to assist with showcasing the trucking industry and introducing it to the next generation. I know Eather Group is involved with that as they share the passion. The best way, of course, is to never stop talking about what an amazing industry it is and how different career choices are available

within the transport, logistics and supply chain industry. Once shown a pathway in, the training and retaining is a much easier prospect.

Becoming an employer of choice is about creating a great culture for the company, the kind of place where people are valued and supported to advance their careers or to stay in the job they love. Eather has focused on the environment and providing the support for their people, while also providing opportunities to take responsibility, and finding that employees are sharing the opportunities with their family and friends. In a time when everyone is struggling to find people, not only truck drivers, this may be also the company’s’ biggest secret weapon. It is a note of pride for the Eather family as no one is going to recommend a workplace to someone they care about unless they are already happy to be working there.

In 2022, Sally-ann won a Transport Women Australia Limited (TWAL) ‘Driving the Difference’ scholarship.

These scholarships, sponsored by Daimler Truck Australia Pacific, have been offered each year since 2019.

Sally-ann studied a course Planning Succession for Family Business offered by Family Business Australia.

With her husband, managing director Peter, at the helm of Eather Group, she was acutely aware of the potential impacts to the business if something was to happen to him. Alternatively, if something happened to her, it could also impact the business. Either of these situations require planning and a strategy to navigate the team handling the scenario during what would be a very emotional time.

Additionally, with Divinia working within the Eather Group it was time to prepare the business beyond the day-to-day activities, to ensure longevity of employment for their staff members.

Sally-ann is very passionate about this planning and it is something many family businesses and small sporting organisations fail to do. They fail to prepare for what is next. And it is not always a sad plan, maybe

the plan is to sell the business at a certain time and sail away into the sunset, but every company needs a plan.

We have seen so many family companies disappear over the past year and it is so sad to see as it affects their employees and their communities. Often, they are rural or regional carriers, so the ripple effect is quite large. Sally-ann, Peter and Divinia are doing everything in their power to spread the word and ensure the future of the Eather Group and their dedicated staff.

The Eather family and the Eather Group are very active in their community and the trucking industry associations, they are a corporate member and very active in Transport Women Australia Limited.

Sally-ann was nominated by TWAL and won the Road Freight NSW Transport Woman of the Year for 2023, a very deserving recognition of her contribution to

the industry. I am sure there will be many accolades to follow.

Divinia was part of the 2023 Teletrac Navman Driving Change Diversity program and already has several awards under her belt. The company has previously been awarded the FBA and FBNZ Sustainable Development in Family Business Award.

As always, towards the end of my interviews I ask if there are any words of wisdom to share.

Sally-ann and Divinia did not disappoint, their thoughts were: build good relationships, treat your staff well, invest in your community and love your family enough to have an exit strategy.

Deakin unveils advanced driving simulator Virtual environments offer a plethora of opportunities for cutting-edge research and design. ATN visited Deakin University’s Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation (IISRI) to take a look at its new Genesis simulator and find out what this advanced driving simulator means for the Australian transport industry Walking into Deakin University’s new Genesis Simulator is a bit like entering a sci-fi movie or a giant videogame. A 360-degree wall of five-metre-high screen displays a fully immersive virtual environment – when I visited it was a racing track – and in the centre of the simulator, sitting on a set of tracks, is a car cabin.

The Genesis Simulator is the only one of its type in Australia and the only one in the world located in a university.

Deakin says the simulator offers an immersive simulation experience and variable virtual worlds, while the system’s 12 video projectors offer high quality graphics. The cutting-edge high-fidelity motion and sound work together to create driving simulations that are as real as possible.

Indeed, sitting inside the replica cabin with all the normal car controls

in front of you and nothing but giant virtual screens visible from all sides, the Genesis simulator is incredibly immersive.

In addition to a light vehicle, Deakin also keeps a cab-over style truck cabin that it can connect to the simulator. Once again, the truck cabin is an exact replica, that aims to give users the most realistic driving experience possible.

Deakin has given plenty of attention to detail to make sure each session in a simulator feels like a real drive.

The vehicle cabins can move four metres in every direction as well as half a metre up and down, meaning it can simulate every sharp turn, bump and feelings of acceleration and deceleration a driver might experience. The seatbelts can even tighten over the driver’s body when

they engage the brake too quickly.

Genesis isn’t just one big toy however, Deakin says the simulator is a platform that will support research into a range of different fields, including: • Automotive testing and design; • Fast-track of vehicle prototyping; • Improvements in driver and other roads user safety through assistive technology and transport infrastructure; • Evaluation of drivers’ performance under a wide range of conditions; and • Driver/vehicle performance optimisation.

The new simulator is the latest addition to Deakin’s Institute for Intelligent Systems Research and Innovation (IISRI).

IISRI has more than 15 years’ experience in motion simulation research and houses Australia’s biggest multi-disciplinary team of world-class mobility researchers and PhD students.

With the addition of the Genesis Simulator, IISRI now houses more than seven cutting-edge simulators worth more than $40 million.

Deakin says IISRI has a strong track record in research, innovation and commercialisation, having worked

18/8/2023 5:52 am

Feature

with more than 300 businesses, industry and government agencies around the world, often in long term strategic partnerships.

One of the aims of Deakin’s IISRI research team is to better understand the human-machine interface, that is the way people relate to, and experience, the machines they operate.

This notion is essentially the way machines are designed to be ergonomic and user friendly and also helps designers and researchers to understand when a machine is poorly designed for human operation.

Deakin hopes to work with as many stakeholders and clients as possible.

Organisations that do partner with Deakin to make use of Genesis can remain the sole proprietors of the data produced by the simulator.

One of the many important applications for technology like Genesis is developing research that can help influence transport laws and regulation. For example, researchers can put drivers in Genesis to better understand how fatigue effects someone’s ability to drive.

The effects of sleep deprivation or certain medical conditions can be safely tested, and a wealth of data recorded.

Another important application is for heavy vehicle training. The Genesis simulator allows aspiring truck drivers to experience driving a truck in a very safe and controlled environment.

Technology like this can play

an important role in reducing the labour shortage for truck drivers, particularly by encouraging more women to get behind the wheel.

The Director of IISRI, Professor Doug Creighton, says that it could also lead to a scenario where people trying to get their heavy vehicle licence could accumulate equivalent hours in the simulator.

Advanced technology has so much potential that it can be difficult to truly appreciate what it is capable of without actually seeing and experiencing it for yourself, which is why Deakin is keen to attract as many people as possible to come see what it can do.

Creighton says at the end of the day it’s about working with key stakeholders to identify use-cases

for the simulator, and the team at IISRI, to help to improve the road transport industry in priority areas.

“We want as many people as possible involved from the transport industry in advancing safe integration of advanced technology,” he says.

At IISRI, the team has a positive approach to transport and road safety applications for this simulator. The simulator’s Manager Stu Robottom hopes to work with the Australian transport sector and encourage greater use of advanced technology for safer Australian road use.

“As a University we seek collaborations with and support of both government and industry to fully realise this goal,” he says.

Green light for safety tech New blind spot heavy vehicle technology will be trialled at a busy Victorian intersection In a major announcement for Australian truck safety, heavy vehicles operated by crews on Stage 1 of the Mickleham Road Upgrade in Victoria will be the first in Australia to benefit from new safety technology that will help more Victorians get home safer.

The MAX-SAFE technology has been installed in some heavy vehicles being used on the road project – with trials of the audible and flashing light alert system to help reduce the likelihood of an unexpected collision.

Without intervention, pedestrians, cyclists and scooter riders could be at a heightened risk of entering a heavy vehicle operator’s blind spot. Instead, this system aims to negate this risk and maintain a form of visibility, especially during left hand turns.

Powered by a highly advanced artificial intelligence based smart camera, this Side View technology as part of the MAX-SAFE system is specialised in detecting specific vulnerable road users and not other

objects or obstructions through a range of cameras and sensors.

Electronic flashing lights and alarms initiate inside and outside the vehicle, providing the operator the advanced warning they need to assist with avoiding an unexpected collision. It also acts to alert those outside of the vehicle.

Students dominate pedestrian traffic in the area during school terms, with close to 1000 students attending the nearby prep to year 12 Aitken College, with the Mary Queen of Heaven Primary School and other facilities adding to this local vulnerable road user population.

The system trial is the result of collaboration between Major Road Projects Victoria, construction partner BMD and SGESCO-MAX to find new ways to reduce the likelihood of safety incidents with members of the public during construction.

Success of the new technology will be closely monitored and evaluated,

The tech will help keep vulnerable road users safe around heavy vehicles

with a view to rolling this and similar systems out more broadly across more of the state’s road projects.

“Today’s trials are tomorrow’s business as usual. We’re so impressed by the technology that we’re looking to equip more of our heavy vehicles with this system to address blind spots for our crews,” BMD senior project engineer Todd Stemmer says.

The safety trial is part of Stage 1 of the Mickleham Road Upgrade, which is building extra lanes in each direction on Mickleham Road between Somerton Road and Dellamore Boulevard, along with new traffic lights, intersection upgrades and better walking and cycling connections.

Mickleham Road between Somerton Road and Dellamore Boulevard is used by more than 25,000 vehicles each day and is a key arterial route for Melbourne’s growing north-west.

Stage 1 of the Mickleham Road Upgrade is expected to be complete in mid-2025.

’m the first to admit I have a bit of a magpie personality. I get distracted and obsessed with bright shiny things from the result of years of my trucking addiction. It is what sees me being hypnotically drawn toward big shiny trucks, stacked with stainless and coated in chrome.

The ‘little bit of airbrushing’ was tremendously inflated by the end. But it was an amazing canvas for the AllStyles Customs crew to show off their skills

There is hardly a trucker out there that doesn’t have a similar personality flaw, and I know several truck nuts whose addictions make me look like a rank amateur. However, today’s feature attraction is a little different.

There is no stainless to shine, there are no alloy rims to rub and there is no bumper to buff. In fact, it is every anti-polisher’s wet dream. It is also every photographer’s worst nightmare.

Although this stunning anniversary show truck is dressed in a sleek black number from stacks to steps, it is also coated in layer upon layer of clear coat. Those multiple layers of clear coat aren’t there just to make photographing Auswide Transport Solutions’ 150th truck hard to shoot, they are there to protect the amazing, airbrushed artwork that adorns the entire unit.

There has been time and dedication put

into this truck; this anniversary model is an acknowledgement and reward for all that has come before it.

The ‘Karma’ T909 is a rig built to celebrate the success story that started with a 10-pallet Fuso nearly 20 years ago. A rig built to reward a company and its workers that have endured a mountain of keyboard warrior criticism from ill-informed people. A rig that acknowledges the effort Auswide Transport Solutions (ATS) has expended in not just becoming a leading transport operator, but a company that leads the way in safety, innovation and family values. All of that as well as it being a rig that just looks amazing.

Before we get onto this stunning truck and the fancy Frenchman that decorated its black panels, we need to run a bit of a timeline on how we got here. It’s a difficult story to tell if I am being honest. Not ‘difficult’ in terms of ‘I don’t know the story’ which revolves around good people, resilience and lots of hard work. No, I mean ‘difficult’ because the young man responsible for this anniversary truck and Auswide Transport Solutions as a whole is extremely shy and humble about his success. I damn near had to let the tyres down in his car to stop him

long enough to get his story. Thankfully I also had his top tier team on hand to trap him for an interview. That team consists of Tommy Pausic, Auswide’s CEO, Gabby Singh, Auswide’s general manager and Jeff Wright, Auswide’s safety and compliance head.

These guys play a pivotal role in the success of the company and most importantly played a pivotal role in getting the extremely shy managing director to sit and tell me his story. Amrit Kankar is the man in question.

Amrit is the man with the keys to the front door and the managing director of Auswide Transport Solutions. It is a role he has grown into, not applied for. Before he was managing director he filled the role of a driver, mechanic, technician, payroll clerk, recruiter … in fact, since he started the company there probably isn’t a job that he hasn’t taken a hands-on approach to. These days, however, he can leave all that to the good people he has fostered, and he focuses on the big cheese’s jobs – like looking after his workers.

The fabulous Fuso Like many Australian success stories, Amrit is an immigrant that chose to chase his dream

in the land of opportunity. The fresh-faced 21-year-old engineer landed in Australia back in 2007. He set up house in Melbourne where he applied for his HR licence and set about building himself a new life.

“It took about six months before I finally got a job driving an eight palleter for a Toll subbie,” recalls Amrit. He jokingly adds, “I reckon I was doing about 150 drops a day.”

Amrit spent a couple of years working for that subbie doing local drops as he honed his driving skills and fine-tuned his patience with Melbourne traffic.

In 2009, with help from his boss, he took the leap and bought his very first truck, a 10-pallet Fuso tautliner. Two years of running local and working his butt off afforded Amrit the means to jump on the owner-driver opportunity when his boss suggested it. Amrit had already established a reputation as a hard worker when he was on wages, that work ethic only strengthened when it was his name on the bank loan.

Within another two years Amrit would double the size of his fleet. Well, he bought a second truck. It just sounds more impressive when worded like that. The 10-pallet Fuso was joined by a 14-pallet Fuso. Amrit placed a

While the interior of the big 909 has all the bells and whistles, credit for the décor needs to go to Damian Tom’s daughter Freya and his much better half Recheal who destroyed their fingertips putting all the gold buttons on

driver in the 10-pallet truck and it continued to run under Toll colours, while he took the wheel of the 14-pallet Fuso and started working for Wettenhalls.

It was the bigger Fuso that became the catalyst for all that came afterward, including this incredible 150th-anniversary truck you see before you. More specifically it was the act of purchasing the second Fuso that would lead to where we are today.

See, when Amrit went shopping for the Fuso his gaze also fell on a tractor unit sitting alone in the corner waiting for a new owner.

“I’d always seen the big MC trucks on the road and just loved them,” Amrit says. “When I bought the 14-pallet truck there was a Freightliner Argosy for sale as well. It was a beautiful looking truck.”

He recalls the salesman asking if he wanted to buy it and Amrit admitted he would love to, but he didn’t have the work for it. He also skipped over the fact he also didn’t have a licence for it. “It was a dream for me

though,” he says. “I knew one day I was going to drive that truck.”

With two HR trucks already, and an unflappable determination, Amrit let neither a lack of work nor licence stand in his way. A few months after seeing the truck, Amrit had it sitting in his driveway, still without work or an MC licence.

“It sat for a few weeks then I got some work for it,” Amrit recalls. “I had already gone for my HC licence but put a driver on the truck and I spent six months sitting beside him training.”

That original Argosy, which is still in the ATS fleet by the way, went to work towing for Total Logistic Solutions, or TLS. The performance and professionalism shown

by Amrit ensured that when he purchased a second truck, there was work there for it as well.

“Once the trucks got busy, I would just buy another one,” says Amrit. “Mick at TLS used to say, ‘nope, we don’t need another one’. But I would get another truck and then they’d call me up asking if I could do a run.”

It was this kind of pre-emptive approach that stands behind the success of Auswide Transport Solutions, with ‘solutions’ being the keyword in the company title.

Coming up with solutions to assist customers’ logistical issues has been the platform ATS is built on. Amrit knew from the beginning if he did the job well and had the gear there when customers needed it, then the work would come.

In 2014 he saw that it wasn’t just about having the trucks and drivers to pull customers’ trailers, it was also about having trailers there for when customers needed them. Sure, it meant sometimes he had units parked up in the beginning, but it also meant he was able to help his customers when issues arose. That kind of forward planning has seen rapid growth in the company, led by customer demand. At one stage ATS were running as many as 160 prime movers on the road. Currently, they are sitting at 120 among their total of 700 moving parts in the whole fleet.

Another aspect of the Auswide team now is their manufacturing side. With such a shortage of equipment within our industry, Auswide is now investing heavily into Australian manufacturing by designing and building their own trailers here. This is a clear sign they are forging ahead to meet

104

their customers’ needs and continue to build their business in Australia for the long term.

Unsocial media It hasn’t all been plain sailing of course.

No success story is without its trials and tribulations. Unfortunately, a lot of the issues that have tested the strength and resilience of the ATS team have come from that other illness thriving in our industry at the moment – keyboard warriors with too much time and very little knowledge.

Auswide’s CEO Tommy Pausic addresses the issue very well. “In recent times few, if any, companies have been subjected to what we have been put through with social media.

If there was an incident running across the paddock it was falsely attributed to Auswide, anything involving a European truck, it was an Auswide. It didn’t matter if it was false, photoshopped or wrongly attributed. Social media drove public perception and with that came reputational damage and also harm to hard-working people and their families.”

In the face of all the negativity, Amrit and the Auswide team set about planning and chasing the company goals, developing systems and protocols that put maximum emphasis on driver well-being and company efficiency.

“Becoming the biggest isn’t a problem,”

Tommy says. “Becoming the best is where we want to be, and our focus is steadfast.”

As the company approaches its 15th anniversary next year, it’s well on track to do that and much more.

Amrit admits achieving these goals has been made easier by having the right people in the right positions. A case in point is Auswide’s general manager Gabby Singh.

Prior to starting with Auswide in 2015 as an operations manager, Gabby had done his time behind the wheel of everything from rigids to road trains. Driving was in his DNA and a manager’s position forced him to hang up the keys, trade in the work boots and high vis for shiny shoes and Chinos, although he always considers things from a driver’s perspective.

“One of the best decisions we made was to cut downloading and unloading by the linehaul drivers. Everything is now done by local drivers. The only expectation is to do your Ks safely, report any issues to us and manage your fatigue,” Gabby says.

Managing fatigue isn’t left solely to the drivers, as Amrit points out. “We have a team of 28 staff, working 24/7 that just monitors and checks on the drivers. They are trained to know the fatigue signs and are always checking the welfare of our drivers.”

As warm and cuddly as that all sounds,

Although the rest of the Auswide fleet sport the bright vibrant blue and white colours, the 150th imposes a much darker tone. Boy does it look cool though

‘People love when the bonnet gets tipped over” says Karma’s driver Damian Toms.

You can see why

the reality of it is that it’s in everyone’s best interests. “Keeping your drivers safe and on the road makes good business sense; Carrying out the freight task safely, reliably and efficiently will keep our customers more than satisfied,” Tommy adds.

Driver welfare is just one of the targets for Auswide. Another is to become leaders and innovators when it comes to transport safety and IT. A fair chunk of that task falls on the shoulders of Auswide’s safety and compliance guru Jeff Wright who came on board with the company in 2021 after four decades in policing and the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator. He has helped move Auswide towards the top of the food chain when it comes to safety and compliance that goes beyond the required standards. He has also helped oversee some major innovations

for both Auswide and the transport industry.

One example are the A-B triples Auswide are now towing directly from their Adelaide depot into Perth. Another is the B-triples now running between its Melbourne and Adelaide depots.

The 150th truck With our history lesson well covered we should move on to Auswide’s 150th truck purchase. The stunning Kenworth T909 looks nothing like the anniversary concept that Amrit first pinned to the boardroom chalkboard back in late 2020.

“When we got our 100th truck we went a little extra with that,” Amrit says. “So, when the 150th was ordered we decided to celebrate it as well. We wanted not only a show truck, but a working show truck.”

Amrit’s original plan was to have a black and gold truck. Base colour black with gold grill bars, tank straps and pin striping. Then the simple concept kind of escalated when Tom, Gabby and driver Damien Toms were consulted.

The black and gold idea was still a goer, but ‘a little bit of airbrushing’ was voted in.

As for the gold detailing? Well, that was kind of scaled back and replaced with ‘a little bit more airbrushing’. All of this was on the board even before the truck made its way to AllStyles Customs where artist Laurent Machado added in his two cents worth. “Let’s add more airbrushing” was the verdict. While it was a touch more than originally intended, it works. Add in the whole black on black façade and it comes together nicely.

“KDM, Kenworth DAF Melbourne, must be mentioned because they were great to deal with,” Gabby says. “And also, Wayne Hoffman from All State Truck Repairs. Wayne put a

lot of effort into this. He basically built the whole truck and did the custom interior with Pearlcraft additions. To build all the custom parts, prepare it ready for the airbrushing, then clear coated it afterward, was an enormous effort.”

Personally, Wayne doing such a fantastic job made my job as a photographer extremely difficult. Taking photos of a truck with this much shine to it is a massive challenge. As you can see by the images we had to wait until all the lights were out and the sun had packed up and buggered off before I could snap some shots that are able to show the amazing ‘little bit of airbrushing’ on the big 909.

The entire process lasted almost 14 months, although a lot of that was due to the difficulties in trying to do anything during COVID lockdowns. The rest of it was due to the fact of a ‘little bit of airbrushing’ evolving into an entire working art piece.

The attention to detail spreads past the exterior, with All State Truck Repairs fitting Pearlcraft accessories through the truck

As you can see, when the truck barrels past on any given day it is easy to assume it’s just a big black beast. The clear coats and shine mean you really do have to get up close to appreciate the detail

I must emphasise the working part as well. Yes, this truck is a show truck, but it is a working show truck. Damian ‘Damo’ Toms is the man entrusted with the custom 909 and although he previously covered all corners of the country in the 100th anniversary truck, the 150th truck has him now on a set run, Melbourne to Sydney return for one of Auswide’s major clients.

“When we first got the truck, we took it to a few of our big clients and all of them asked if it could be their dedicated truck,” Damo laughs. “Everyone loves it.”

One of the reasons Damo has the keys is because he happily spends just as much time on the wash bay as he does on the highway. It’s almost as hard to catch and photograph this truck, dirty as it is when it’s clean and shiny.

As I mentioned at the start, this truck is a celebration truck. Celebrating the company a young fella began with a Freightliner and a Fuso. Celebrating the small family atmosphere that has been fostered in a business with several hundred staff and celebrating the people that are able to brush aside the negativity and stay focussed on setting new standards and delivering innovation, while also setting new standards in creating working show truck art pieces.

All I ask is when the 200th comes along, can I photograph it before the clearcoat goes on?

A TRUCKING

Norm Hall doesn’t mind what Kenworth he drives, as long as it’s not pulling anything more than a single trailer Words & Images | Greg Bush

N Owner-driver Norm Hall: Looking forward to a laid-back life

Norm drove this log-hauling White 9000 for Barry Secombe.

“I thought I was king.”

Norm Hall has been doing the long haul for decades, first as a driver and then as an owner-driver. His loads have included livestock, refrigerated and general freight all over New South Wales, Victoria and South Australia. All the while Norm only pulled single trailers, he’s always steered away from attaining his B-double licence.

Nowadays, despite calling Coffs Harbour home, Norm confines himself to local runs for Lindsay Australia around Brisbane.

In an unusual situation, Norm works two weeks in the sunshine state’s capital in his Kenworth T410, then heads back to Coffs Harbour and his wife Julie for a few days break, leaving the truck parked outside

Lindsay’s depot at Acacia Ridge. However, he’s living the long-distance truckie’s life, despite rarely going out of town.

“I sleep in my truck, just like as if I was on the highway,” Norm explains.

“I’ve got all my own cooking gear, but I use their kitchen, their showers and their washing machines … everything.”

Being a subcontractor, Norm isn’t permitted to park his truck inside the Lindsay Transport yard. Instead, the truck spends its nights in a secure spot, just outside the company’s gatehouse.

“A couple of blokes said to me, ‘that’s wrong, kicking you out of the yard’. But I said, ‘no it’s not’. Because if I built a garage at my house, and somebody came and parked their car in it, I’d be kicking up a stink. I can see why they’ve done it.”

So, if the truck stays in Brisbane, and Norm’s home is Coffs, there’s the obvious question of the commute.

“I come up with one of the boys from the Coffs Harbour depot,” Norm explains. “If I wanted to take the truck home, they will organise a load for me to go back to Sydney with and bring it back to Coffs Harbour. So, I will stay home with the truck and take it to Brown & Hurley, they do all my services and anything that goes wrong.”

Kenworth has always been the go-to brand for Norm Hall, although it was an unlikely contender that initially enticed him into the world of road transport.

The first truck One of Norm’s first real encounters with a truck came about while working on a sheep property near his father’s house between Guyra and Inverell in northern New South Wales.

Not long out of school, on this particular day back in 1975, Norm was busy loading three decks of sheep onto the back of a trailer.

The truck was a Diamond Reo, owned by Campbell Bros out of Inverell with driver George Larry behind the wheel.

“I got in the passenger side to go from the yards to open the gate for him,” he recalls.

“That was a magic piece of gear, that Diamond Reo, even though they had the clutch and brake around the wrong way.”

Later, Norm hitched a ride with George to the Homebush saleyards, this time in a Kenworth K100. The livestock game beckoned, but not before Norm moved to Coffs Harbour, scoring a job with Barry Secombe hauling logs out of Lowanna and Ulong.

“Barry had two Whites, a White 4000 and a White 9000, and I drove the White 9000,” he recalls. “I thought I was king; it was amazing.”

In his Lewington Transport days, on his way to the Kempsey Truck Show

Norm soon returned to the Inverell area, scoring a job with Mackenzie Bros, this time in livestock haulage. Unfortunately, it also came with his first mishap with a trailer load of live freight.

“The turntable came off between Ebor and Dorrigo. There were 96 pigs on top and 36 steers on the bottom – and didn’t kill a single animal.

“Three pigs were taken into custody for further questioning,” Norm smiles. “I don’t know what happened to them.”

Back in Coffs Harbour and back to logging,

The T410’s traditional Kenworth dash

he picked up a job driving an R model Mack for Kerr Adams. Then he was off to Burgundy Heights, driving a W model Kenworth.

“That W Model was the ant’s pants,” Norm says. “Some of the places I took her, it would make your hair curl.”

But the smell of livestock beckoned and he eventually found single trailer work out of Lewington’s Transport’s Macksville yard.

“Barry Lewington rang me up one day and said, ‘What would you rather be doing, sheep or cattle?’

And I said, ‘Geez Barry, I’ve got two good dogs here … sheep’. That was the wrong thing to say ’cause I spent about three or four months on cattle.

“After that it was sheep or all over Victoria, New South Wales and South Australia.”

It was while at Lewington’s that Norm took the plunge, buying his first Kenworth. Driving a company K100, he phoned Barry and said, “Can I pretend I own this truck?”.

Norm wrote down all costs, including fuel, truck washing and maintenance. After three

months he asked Barry if he could buy the cab-over.

After a few dramas trying to attain finance, Norm, now an owner-driver, stayed with Lewington’s until the company went into liquidation, bought out by Ron Finemore in 2004. This led him to fridge van work with Charter Freightlines.

“I never found a better bloke to work for than (Charter Freightlines CEO) Paul Campbell.

Paul and I had a few blow-ups, but we’d always end up having a cup of tea and a tea cake in the lunch room.”

Norm stayed with Charter Freightlines for 10 years, selling his old K100 and buying a brand new K100 Aerodyne along the way.

With Paul Campbell selling up, Norm had a couple of employment options, including Scotts Refrigerated Transport. However, he

opted to apply for a subbies role at Lindsay Australia. It was an obvious choice as Lindsay’s Boambee depot near Coffs Harbour was right across the road from Norm’s home. That was 11 years ago. He’s been with Lindsay Australia ever since, initially driving to Sydney, and interstate to Adelaide and Melbourne.

Along the way he sold his Aerodyne but, instead of another Kenworth cab-over, he opted for a T410, taking his grandson Banjo with him to Paccar headquarters in Melbourne to pick up his new prime mover in 2014.

Changing times However, around 16 months ago, Norm started thinking about stepping back from the highway. He admits that one of the reasons is

When a couple of letters fell of the Kenworth badge on his T410, Norm improvised, turning the ‘W’ upside down

his growing disillusionment with the attitude of the new breed of truckies and the lack of friendship on the road.

Norm cites an incident when a driver, a new arrival to Australia, caught the side of his mirror, forcing him off the road and into a drain. The errant driver was later stopped up by police.

In another episode, Norm recalls being abused by a truckie for not flashing him back into the lane. “I said, ‘mate, it’s dual carriageway from Brisbane to Melbourne now. If you can’t see to pull yourself back in, you best be hanging the keys up underneath the bull bar’.”

He fondly remembers the old days of driving livestock and a particular situation when one of his mates had a flat tyre. “I pulled up behind him and, by the time I got out of my truck, another two on the other side had pulled up. We ended up having a barbecue under his truck.

“But those days are gone,” Norm laments.

“You get a flat tyre on the side of the road now, they’ll run over the top of you.”

In his search for the quieter life, he became aware that Lindsay Australia was stuck for subcontractors around Brisbane to handle local work, so Norm asked the question. “You can start now,” came the reply.

Norm is happy to be off the highway and onto local runs around Brisbane

Norm’s T410 was his first bonneted Kenworth following a couple of K models

On the day we caught up with Norm, he was picking up a load of cold meats at Wacol, hauling them back to the rail freight terminal at Acacia Ridge, a stone’s throw from Lindsay’s Brisbane depot.

Surprisingly, even though it’s local runs, Norm carries a logbook.

“I’m on BFM because I’m more than a 100km away from home,” he says. “But if I was on a standard book, I wouldn’t have to use it, I’d only have to use Lindsay’s.”

But Norm is planning to cut back even further, even to the point of selling his 2014 Cummins-powered T410. While there has been some interest from prospective buyers, Norm has no timeframe for the day when he finally leaves the industry behind.

As for advice for newcomers looking at getting behind the wheel, he says, “it’s there if you want to make a go of it”.

“But all the young blokes, they just want to go A to B. They want to be home every night.

“I’ve had blokes come up and ask me, ‘what it’s like to own my own truck?’ Back then it was good. I really wanted to own my own truck.

“Today, when you think about, the way things are going you’re better off just driving, I reckon. You go home of a night time and have nothing to worry about.”

Lindsay Australia has offered a couple of weekdays’ work out of Coffs Harbour when he returns home, but Norm has other ideas, such as fixing up his 1973 XA Falcon. And wife Julie is keen on travel, the couple not long returning from a holiday in Hawaii.

Another reason behind Norm’s retirement plans was his recent and successful battle against prostate cancer.

“I had to go and have a medical to get my BFM and my doctor said, ‘you haven’t had a blood test for a while, you’d better go for one’,” Norm recalls.

“Yep, I had prostate cancer. There’s a lot of blokes worse off than me, but I’m on the mend, I got mine early.

“That’s half the reason I went to Hawaii. No point taking it with you.”

One thing’s for certain, when the Kenworth T410 eventually finds a new home, it will bring down the curtain on Norm Hall’s long and fruitful career in the trucking industry.

here’s something delightfully ironic in the fact that a West Australian company which prides itself on being Australia’s oldest dairy operation has become a beneficiary of the biggest and possibly most advanced milk tanker combination in the country, if not the world.

Yet while the Brownes Dairy operation dates

back to 1886 when a farmer named Edward Browne hand milked a relatively small herd of cows, the company’s evolution over the past 137 years now sees more than 50 dairy farms in WA’s south-west producing around 150 million litres of milk a year.

Moving all that moo-juice on a daily basis from Brownes Dairy’s holding plant at Brunswick Junction near Bunbury to the

With an overall length of 32 metres, the 15-axle combination carries 73,000 litres of milk and grosses at 111 tonnes

In everything from single-trailer farm pick-up work to its latest and greatest tanker combination, Volvo has been the favoured choice of SRH Milk Haulage from the start in 1996

Until the recent arrival of its new tri-drive combination, SRH's biggest tanker outfit was an FH eight-wheeler pulling a tri-axle roadtrain unit. It still serves the company well in the Brownes Dairy operation

In fact, despite its core business still being single-trailer farm pick-up operations, the 70-strong SRH fleet today spans a wide swathe of country in everything from farm pick-up to regional bulk deliveries and linehaul runs, from bases as far afield as Rutherford, Raleigh on the NSW north coast near Coffs Harbour, Poowong in Victoria’s Gippsland and East Picton, about 160km south of Perth.

SRH Milk Haulage principal Scott Harvey.

The company's operations have evolved to span both sides of the country

company’s processing facility in the Perth northern suburb of Balcatta is, obviously enough, a major transport undertaking with miniscule tolerance for inefficiencies or interruptions.

It is, however, exactly the type of operation which has long fired the commercial and creative ambitions of SRH Milk Haulage principal Scott Harvey. What’s more, it certainly doesn’t deter the candid and pragmatic Harvey that Brownes Dairy operates on the opposite side of the country to SRH’s home base at Rutherford in the NSW Hunter Valley.

Mixing it up Flexibility is the key, Scott states, and depending on the job and the location, configurations range from single tankers to 19 and 20 metre doubles, 25 metre B-doubles and 26 metre A-doubles, or pocket roadtrains in WA. Typically though, the move into Western Australia more than a decade ago provided the opportunity for development of SRH’s biggest tanker combinations, including eightwheeler prime movers pulling two tri-axle tankers in the Brownes Dairy operation.

This combination, says Scott, legally carries 60,000 litres of milk and remains a highly

128

DOW 496-122 DT Mega Milkman.indd 128

productive unit on the 180km run from Brunswick Junction to Balcatta.

By his own admission though, Scott isn’t shy about looking for bigger, better ways to enhance productivity and with the critical technical support and engineering expertise of Tieman Tankers in WA and Volvo Group Australia’s Wacol (Qld) factory, SRH has since June this year added a combination which takes bulk milk haulage to an entirely new level.

Simply explained, the 15-axle road train combination is hauled by a tri-drive Volvo FH 700 built at Wacol, coupled to a quad-axle tanker linked to a tri-axle dolly and another quad axle tanker, with the dolly and Tieman tankers riding on BPW axles.

All up, the unit stretches over 32 metres and has a legal capacity of 73,000 litres of milk, with PBS (performance-based standard) approval to operate at a gross weight of 111 tonnes.

According to Scott Harvey, achieving PBS approval was a typically detailed process but equally, the exercise was “largely hassle-free”.

Tieman Tankers is, he remarks, one of only

two tanker brands (the other being Byford) used by SRH, further describing Tieman’s WA operation as “an extremely good company to work with.”

Likewise, Scott admits Volvo’s flagship FH 700 was the only truck considered for the new combination. The first truck he and wife Regina ever bought was a Volvo and of the 280-plus trucks purchased over the past 27 years or so, at least 250 of them have been various Volvo models, with FH 600s and 700s established as the standard for multiple tanker combinations on both sides of Australia.

In fact, after driving the new quad-axle combination on its maiden voyage, an obviously satisfied Scott Harvey said the 700’s road handling and performance with 3150Nm of torque on tap were exceptional. “It blew me away just how easy it did the job,” he insists.

Despite a relatively short return trip of 360km to Balcatta and back, the combination won’t be doing much idle time with Scott asserting that annual mileage will be around 300,000km a year.

“It’s designed to work long and hard, not just look good,” he says with a shrewd smile.

The tri-axle dolly and quad axle Tieman tankers are mounted on BPW axles while up front, Volvo’s FH 700 copes comfortably with the heavy workload

he small city of Gillette in the US state of Wyoming was the venue for the 2023 Shell Rotella SuperRigs Truck Beauty Contest. And, by Australian standards, the rigs were big … and bigger!

Regarded as the premier truck beauty contest for actively working trucks, hard working owner-operator truckers from across the United States and Canada competed for more than $US25,000 ($37,266) in cash and prizes.

In addition, 12 drivers were selected to have their trucks featured in the 2024 Shell Rotella SuperRigs calendar. It’s worth noting that there is no fee to enter SuperRigs and the

weekend is designed to be fun for the whole family.

Shell Rotella SuperRigs competitors compete for 24 awards including Best Chrome, Best Lights, and of course, Best of Show. Events are still being planned for the 41st celebration, leveraging the unique activities that Gillette has to offer.

Among the June weekend highlights were the truck parade, contestant dinner, truck lights competition, fireworks and live music.

Truett and Crystal Novosad, who drove up from College Station, Texas made the trip worthwhile by picking up the Best of Show award, which came with the cheque for $US10,000 ($15,000).

BIG BIRTHDAY

Bash

T Glen Lewis started the ball rolling for his long journey around two years ago

Mapped out: Glen’s itinerary for the ’round Australia trip is clearly marked on the map inside the living quarters

here’s plenty of inventive ways to celebrate big birthday milestones.

Throwing a party or heading off overseas for a dream holiday are two of the more obvious choices, but not for Glen Lewis. In previous big birthday occasions – his 40th and 50th – the now semi-retired ownerdriver participated in a couple of Variety Club bashes. For his 60th, however, Glen was looking for something special. And it involved his 1993 Kenworth T950.

“I came up with the idea of driving around Australia in six weeks,” Glen explains of the challenge. “But it sort of got a bit bigger.”

Around two and a half years ago he came up with the idea for his travel plans. But first he needed living space. This involved

spending two days a week for a year building a container to sit up the back on his Krueger trailer.

“I did everything myself except clad the outside,” Glen says. “Everything internal I’ve done myself, all the electrical, all the plumbing.”

It helped that Glen is an electrician by trade, an occupation that evolved from some fatherly advice years ago. His dad, John Lewis, had been a truck and dog driver in the cement industry so Glen had grown up around trucks in New South Wales’ Hunter Valley.

“I started washing coal trucks when I was a 10-year-old kid and did that until I was 16. Back in those days you could go to the workshop, jump in the truck and drive it out the back to wash it, and then drive it back and back it into the yard, before OH&S,” Glen smiles.

It seemed inevitable that he would follow his father and become a truck driver himself.

But that dream of driving trucks was put on hold.

“My old man said, ‘No, you’re bloody not.

Get a trade and then once you’re set up in life and you’ve got a house, then if you want to go and drive bloody trucks, go and do it’.”

Glen started is electrical apprenticeship within the coal industry in 1980. He went on to work at every level in coal, retiring as a mining company’s managing director at age

44. That’s when the truck driving urge kicked in again.

Truck ownership Although he admits to always wanting to own a Kenworth, his first truck was an N12 Volvo. Glen says he could still remember his father’s words when he bought his first brand new first truck, a 2008 Freightliner Argosy, which was followed four years later by a new Western Star.

“I got rid of that because there wasn’t enough work and I didn’t want to work full time, and the jobs I could get were all shitty jobs if you’re not doing it regularly,” he says.

It was then that he bought the ’93 Kenworth, not for working purposes but to be used solely as a project truck. It had taken Glen some time to track down the T950 down, with the proviso that it must have been a light worker and only pulled a single trailer, unlike most 950s which are double rated for roadtrain duties.

The Kenworth had started life with Fred’s Interstate Transport. It then joined the McKibbins Livestock Transport fleet for 16 years, with the luxury of having the same driver for its entire time there. Along the way the original Cat engine had been replaced with its current N14 Plus Cummins set at 525hp, hooked up to an 18-speed Roadranger ’box.

“It’s done about 700,000km on this engine,” Glen points out. “I’ve had it for nine years and it’s done about 45,000km in those nine years.

“It’s a beautiful truck to drive; tou wouldn’t think it’s 30 years old.

“It’s testament to Kenworth on how good a truck they do build. It’s really solid on the road, he says.

However, the Kenworth’s ‘project truck’

status is slightly misleading as the T950 is not only for show. It’s pulled its weight, so to speak, as Glen has driven it on Need for Feed charity hay runs. Before that it had taken part in the Burrumbuttock hay runs, but turning the T950 into a mobile holiday home was a major transformation.

Glen had bought the ’93 Krueger trailer early on in his around-Australia travel plans, rebuilding all the mechanicals and electrics where needed. The trailer was then resprayed, new brakes added, wheel bearings updated. “Anything that I didn’t have a good idea of its history, I’ve replaced,” he says.

Under the trailer’s red tarp sits two 1000-litre water containers, a generator, tool boxes, spare front tyre, while the box on the front houses all the electrics, including the water pump.

Sleeping in a container may not appeal to some, but Glen’s unit has all the comforts of home, including bunk beds and fridge.

On the wall is a map, showing the route that started in Maitland, then north to Brisbane, Rockhampton, Townsville, Cairns and on to Mareeba, Ravenshoe and then to Karumba in the Gulf territory, Cloncurry and the Three Ways Roadhouse.

Adding a little more distance was a detour south to Alice Springs before returning north to Darwin. The reason behind the Alice Springs stop is a photo opportunity outside the Kenworth Hall of Fame. In fact, anything Kenworth-related was included on the itinerary with the plan to photograph the T950 outside every Kenworth dealership along the way.

However, Glen wasn’t flying solo for the entire trip. For the Brisbane to Cairns section, long-time friend Dennis ‘Pugs’ Jones rode in the passenger seat. Glen then travelled travel alone to Broome where his wife Maree joined him for the journey to Perth and Adelaide.

“Six weeks sitting in a Kenworth wasn’t her idea of a great time, but two weeks (is okay).

And she loves the warm weather.”

The Melbourne stop took in the Kenworth factory at Bayswater.

While this was originally planned as simple photo opportunity for the T950 before returning to Maitland on August 6, Kenworth caught on to Glen’s journey and instead invited him inside for a private tour of the factory – an experience he says was a huge highlight of the journey.

All up, Glen’s lap of the country clocked up 15,588kms over 41 days, with 30 of those days including driving with an average of 518kms a day.

The truck used about 62,441 litres of fuel – at a cost of $12,182, averaging 40 litres per 100 kilometres travelled – most of that at 99km/h on 1700 revs.

Glen says the best roads were to be found in Western Australia, and some of the worst roads were along the south coast between New South Wales and Victoria.

He says the stunning scenery and the

fact he’d never been there before made the West Coast experience and across the Nullabor stand out among the many stunning memories he’s brought home from the trip.

While he also spotted wombats, wallabies, camels and wild goats, the closest he came to testing out the bulbar was in the first week of the trip when a black cat darted out in front of the truck. Glen says he swerved to the right to miss it, then it changed directions, forcing him to swerve the other way.

“I’m not superstitious, but I wasn’t going to run over a black cat a few days into the trip,” he jokes.

The scariest bit of driving he witnessed from high on the Kenworth seat came around Bunbury when an old bloke pulled out of a service station on to the highway, which was divided road, two lanes each way.

He says the driver turned right into the left lane of the two lanes closest to the service station, which meant he was driving the wrong way down the road and passed Glen and two other semi-trailers in a row making their way, the right way, down the left hand lane of the highway.

“It was scary not knowing whether he was going to panic and swerve when he realised,” Glen says.

In the end he says he watched in the mirrors as the guy did a u-turn and headed back in the right direction.

Back home and it’s back to work for Glen who explains that he is not exactly retired, but needs to something just to “get out of the house”.

“I do a couple of days a week for a local concrete company in truck and dogs. I normally drive an 18-speed Mack, but if I drive one of the new ones it’s normally one of the new N-drive Tridents.

“They are good and at the end of the day, doing the same job, you’re only half as tired. It is good from a fatigue point of view, but I like changing gears, always have.”

The 60th trip is sure to be relived for many months to come with Glen having recorded each day on his dashcam with plans to cut a movie out of the footage to share with family and friends and provide a lasting reminder of the trip for himself.

The journey’s not over for the Kenworth T950 quite yet either. Glen plans to take part in the hay runs again, while the container will come in handy for historic road events such as Crawlin’ The Hume and Haulin’ The Hume – and potentially a few more trips through the middle of Australia now his map has a big line around the outside of the country.

And don’t be surprised if it pops up at the Kenworth Klassic at Clarendon in the Hawkesbury region outside Sydney in September.

With the doubling of entrants, the 2023 North Coast Petroleum Casino Truck Show has claimed the title on the biggest truck show in the southern hemisphere, previously held by TMC Trailers Trucking Industry Show in Christchurch, New Zealand.

asino Truck Show organisers have reported judging of 580 trucks with a value of more than $300 million at this year’s record-breaking event.

The show has also eclipsed all records for attendance at a Richmond Valley single-day event, attracting a record turnout of 14,000.

NCP Casino Truck Show Organising Committee coordinator Darren Goodwin says he was still in awe of the record number

of entrants, being acutely aware of the effort and sacrifice drivers and companies go through to attend the event, which never goes unnoticed.

Goodwin says the feedback coming through was overwhelmingly positive, with many drivers planning their 2024 rosters to make sure they don’t miss what could be another history-making event.

volunteers and attendees, Goodwin says benefits to the local community from events like the Casino Truck Show could be extensive, particularly when the draw was from outside the region.

“The unwavering support from our sponsors and the broadening appeal of the NCP Casino Truck Show gives the organising team the motivation to keep going,” Goodwin says.

“We are already planning to make sure our operations run smoothly in 2024 and attendees receive the best experience possible.”

Richmond Valley Council’s General Manager Vaughan Macdonald says since taking over the running of this popular industry event in 2021, and with the support of a volunteer organising committee, Council teams across the board came together to deliver an event growing in stature.

Macdonald says delivering the event in the off-season month of August resonated strongly with local businesses and community members and provided visitors to the region a unique experience.

He says this had the knock-on benefit to not only to the Richmond Valley visitor economy but to that of surrounding local government areas.

“The event’s success proves it is a legitimate and significant economic driver not only for Casino and the Richmond Valley, but the wider Northern Rivers region with local accommodation providers booked out months in advance, and many attendees overnighting in Kyogle, Lismore, even Ballina.”

Richmond Valley Council Mayor Robert Mustow says for some local community

An aerial view that could be a truckies next Christmas jigsaw puzzle

groups it was their biggest fundraiser of the year and a boon for local tourism.

“The NCP Casino Truck Show identifies with the spirit of our local area and plays a significant role in building destination awareness,” Mustow says. “It has most certainly helped raise Casino’s profile.”

The Rig of the Show prize, along with a cheque for $1000, went to Luke Wilson of Bulmers Transport for a T908 with 1.9 million kilometres on the clock.

The premier award for the show also came

with some unique, one-off 6061 Billet goodies, crafted by Monkey Spunk Fabrications, as well as the towering Rig of the Show trophy and the winner’s name etched on the plaque.

A late, yet welcomed, contributor to this year’s Rig of the Show prize package was Rocklea Truck Electrical, which kindly provided a $5000 gift voucher as well as merchandise. Truly amazing and very much appreciated.

Event Ambassador Jon Kelly, from Heavy Haulage Assets, set the wow factor with an elaborate display of trucks. Casino Truck show organisers say Jon has been attending the Truck Show since its inception; his support and recent promotion via his Discovery TV series, Aussie Truck Rehab, has been immeasurable.

Engel Australia donated a 40-litre, 60th anniversary fridge, valued at $1500, for the Truck Show’s online entry competition.

Cummins provided prizes of an esky and merchandise.

Generation inspiration Hay’s own irrigation experts Crightons Rural Engineering celebrates its third generation of family workers With more than 40 specialised years in building, maintaining and supporting irrigation systems, the practice of Crightons Rural Engineering has aged like fine wine.

The business was founded by Frank and Rhonda Crighton in 1982, with Frank’s mechanically gifted mind and gentlemanly nature, combined with Rhonda’s drive, decision-making and ambitious energy helping Crightons to grow into the reliable company it is today.

In the face of emerging El Niño conditions in the early 2000s, Crightons sought out municipal, horticultural and commercial works, surviving the drought and growing the business against all odds.

Now well into the 2020’s, Crightons has not only survived, but grown with the times. Frank and Rhonda’s children now stand beside him to keep the dream of a family business for the people alive.

“Work is Frank’s happy place and purpose; you can’t wipe the smile and pride off his face each day when he consistently turns up to work,” Frank and Rhonda’s daughter Keryl Crighton says.

“Frank always guided staff to get the best out of themselves, loved sharing his knowledge while giving them space to grow and learn in an encouraging environment.”

“He allowed people to build their confidence without judgement.

Mistakes were always looked at as an opportunity to learn.”

With Frank’s son Jasen now managing Crightons, the NSW-based business has grown from two people working out of a 100 square metre

shed, to 31 members with a new 3,500 square metre facility and a 600 square metre office complex.

“As a result of Frank and Rhonda’s small, humble beginnings, Jasen has taken the business from four people to 31 and still moving,” Keryl says.

“Crightons has now become a major player in the irrigation industry Australia-wide. Jasen had the key, he had the perfect balance, belief, and vision. He analysed and worked hard to build a business with ethics, purpose, and real grit.”

“We really do it for the people.”

As organic development continued to thrive, Crighton’s management team has started to look towards scalability and its need to restructure as a result of continuous growth.

It was at this time that the third generation of the Crighton family became a part of the business, with Toby and Jock joining the team fulltime and Hughie commencing a school-based apprenticeship.

With Frank 89 years young, his passion for both his family and the business is written across the proud smile he greets life with.

“Relationships are the key in all aspects of life and business. Jasen has that gift, which he is now passing down to his children who are now learning and growing within the business,” Keryl says.

And what would a young man be without his toys – “Frank loves operating his 2.2.T digger,” Keryl adds with a satisfied smirk. “It’s his pride and joy!”

New control system all but guarantees a smooth finish With the country’s dreaded bushfire season drawing closer, the Kubota GL9000 is one of the many options that LK Diesel offers to prepare backup power for both everyday usage and critical situations.

Family-owned since 1970, LK Diesel’s managing director Bernard Kuhlwind has nothing but praise for Kubota’s products.

“Kubota generators are high performing, efficient and reliable,” he says.

“The generators provide reliable power when you need it most and are built for tough Aussie conditions.”

As a recent recipient of Kubota’s ‘Dealer Excellence Award’, LK Diesel not only delivers high-quality Kubota generators to its customers but provides energy solutions around Melbourne and beyond.

The Kubota GL9000 generator is a twopole, silent-type, direct-coupled, single-phase diesel generator with a capacity of 8.8kVA at 3000rpm, supplying 33.3 amps at 240 volts.

The generators are powered by Kubota’s D722 fuel-efficient, water-cooled diesel engines, which incorporate a TVCS combustion system to help improve the air/ fuel mixture, resulting in cleaner emissions and a more reliable power supply with minimum power loss.

The generator has an average running range time of 8.5 hours at full load and utilises single sided access for quick inspection and easy maintenance.

The Kubota GL9000 diesel generator is ideally used for off-grid and solar back-up for homes and businesses, mobile businesses like food vans and pop-up shops and hire or rental companies.

This machine also features a remote twowire auto start for solar back-ups and the GL Series comes with fork pockets and lift bar as standard for ease of transport and manoeuvrability.

Both the fork pockets and lift bar can be removed if required when the generator is in its final location for easy transport.

For LK Diesel’s full Kubota generator range, visit www.lkdiesel.com.au/ products/generators/kubota/ or speak with Bernard and the LK Diesel team in-store at 52 Woodlands Drive Braeside, VIC, 3195.
