Heavy Duty category The clash of the titans at the top of the heavy duty truck category in Australia fell Volvo’s way in August with the big Swede reporting 302 sales to Kenworth’s 284. If you were to put an average price of $300,000 per truck into the calculator – that’s more than $175 million worth of machinery right there.

Rounding out the Top 10 in this category for July were Isuzu with 168 sales, Scania on 116, Mack with 92, Mercedes-Benz, 90, UD Trucks and DAF on 78 a piece, Hino on 49 and Iveco at tenth with 38 trucks sold.

Year to date, 11,256 trucks have been sold in the heavy duty category.

Medium Duty category August marks the month where the medium duty category topped 5,000 sales for the year, with the 693 sales recorded for the month bringing the year to date total to 5,227.

Isuzu topped the chart for August with 368 sales, a rise of 37 for the brand from its July result of 331.

Hino sold 187 medium duty trucks, followed by Fuso with 95, UD Trucks with 12, and Iveco, Hyundai and Volvo with six each.

The final three in the Top 10 for August went to SEA Electric, 5, Mercedes-Benz, 4 and MAN with 2.

Light Duty category 11,114. That’s the total number of light trucks sold in Australia to August 31 this year.

5,111, is how many of those trucks have been sold by the most dominant player in the light duty market, Isuzu.

As at August 31, Isuzu has sold 46 per cent of the trucks in this category this year, followed in the Top 5 by Hino on 18.4 per cent (2049), Fuso on 17.8 per cent (1978), Iveco on 6.7 per cent or 743 trucks sold and Fiat on 4.4 per cent (492 sales).

NRL legend backs NHVR safety cause We all need space, whether that be on the road, in our day to day lives, or even on the football field The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) and rugby league legend Sam Thaiday are coming together to spread an important message – ‘We All Need Space’.

The NHVR has launched the campaign to encourage road safety for drivers around heavy or oversized vehicles no matter where you are driving or what conditions you are driving in.

The campaign has drawn the voices of comedian Jimmy Rees, Australian country artist James Blundell and now Brisbane Broncos champion Thaiday to speak out on the issue.

“So many of us get behind the wheel of a car every day; to get to work, do school drop offs and for me, back in the day, head to training,” Thaiday says.

“But unfortunately, we often forget to stop and think more deeply about our behaviour behind the wheel.

“In rugby league, especially as a second rower, I always aimed to give my opponents as little space as possible and break down their defence.

“While the opposition may not need space on the field, trucks sure do on our roads!”

The NHVR is supporting safety campaigns such as this one and Rural Road Safety Month to try and educate road users about how to best approach driving around heavy vehicles.

NHVR CEO Sal Petroccitto says that the regulator is fully committed to the cause.

“As the heavy vehicle safety regulator, we work very closely with all truck operators and drivers to ensure their safety right across the heavy vehicle supply chain,” Petroccitto says.

“The launch of our We All Need Space campaign is now about bringing all road users in on the conversation around what they can do to stay safe when out and about on Australian roads.

“Since it began in June, our We All Need Space campaign has already reached over

four million people online, bolstered through our partnerships with influential talent across Australia.

“Now, having someone like Sam, who has transitioned from an NRL fan favourite to a wonderful community ambassador, come onboard to help us spread this important safety message is fantastic.

“With more than one million registered heavy vehicles across the country, it’s essential all road users understand how to drive safely around them.”

The NHVR has put out material across its website and social media channels on how to best share the roads with heavy vehicles, and how to overtake trucks safely.

The regulator suggests: • Maintaining a safe following distance • Not lingering by the truck • Not cutting in front of trucks

WITH PATRIOT TRAILERS

From drop deck tri-axle semi-trailer trailers to deck wideners, quad axle floats, vacuum and spray tankers, Australian-owned Patriot Trailers is there for its transport customers

Australian designed and engineered for Australian conditions, the Patriot Trailers range features high quality steel and engineering tailored for this country’s transport environment.

National sales manager James Bodycomb says the business has most recently taken delivery of 18 top deck trailers that incorporate high quality suspension and two toolboxes.

He says the Patriot Machinery 44 tonne capacity drop deck tri-axle semi-trailer range features Abrex 400 steel plate – with the high alloy content designed to help the trailer to last longer.

Patriot Trailers, in conjunction with Bullet Trailers, also manufactures freight and heavy haulage semi trailers, tippers, deck wideners, drop decks, tankers including potable, vacuum and spray water tankers, dollys and anything custom made to order.

“The weld quality and the paint fix is really important to us and the team delivers quality trailers every time,” Bodycomb says.

Every day Bodycomb says he works closely with Patriot customers to ensure they receive the service and the trailer they require for their specific transport task.

“We’re in the middle on cost, our focus is on quality, not price,” he says.

“We source the best technology, engineered from around the globe to keep our trailers at the forefront of industry standards.”

The new Bullet / Patriot machinery drop deck tri-axle trailers boast a high resistance to corrosion with a lower tare weight of 9.2

tonne due to better steel quality.

Other attributes include a low deck height of 990mm, polished alloy rims 19.5 with 265/70R tyres and additional floor runners.

There is also an ADR roadtrain coupling with air, lighting and EBS connectivity, heavy duty K-Hitch 11.5 tonne axles with low maintenance parallel bearings.

The trailers come with Weweler air bag suspension with a high ground clearance and Wabco’s Smart Board integrated system.

A computer control pad allows the monitoring of all aspects of the trailer, while the 30-tonne rated mesh air flow rear loading ramps equal better performance along with a 12-degree loading angle with Beavertail.

The ramps to the rear and upper deck are hot dipped and galvanised, and are engineered and built with added floor support, tie down points and other inclusions.

Among these are in-deck chain bars and side gate pockets, three-way container pins and pedestals, K-Hitch two-speed landing legs, and a Wabco suspension raise and lower valve.

“Twenty years of manufacturing has enabled us to design and build the strongest and most durable modern semi trailer for the price,” Bodycomb says.

“We have thought of and included every detail we can into these semi-trailers.”

Patriot Trailers has a range of trailers available as ready-to-go, standard stock units, or alternatively it can custom build trailers to fit exactly what customers are

looking for from their machinery.

“We also have just opened a new factory and saleyard in Warwick, Queensland to service all our northern states clients," Bodycomb says.

“Drop in for a chat and a coffee, and a browse of our current stock!”

Foton launches new tipper Foton Mobility’s latest electric truck model is set to drive down the cost of entry in the EV tipper market in Australia New energy transport company Foton Mobility has launched a new electric T5 Tipper model in a first in Australia for the company.

Foton says the new tipper model will be the first all-electric ready-to-go tipper that’s point of difference is in its 3,500kg braked towing capacity as an electric vehicle.

This capability makes it suitable for municipalities, landscape companies, infrastructure support, construction specialists and more.

Foton says the model, which features an Australian-made steel tipper body, is available for quick delivery now from Foton Mobility Distribution’s nationwide dealer network.

“We’re particularly proud of the T5 EV Tipper as it combines the positive attributes of going all-electric while also providing the performance and towing capabilities required in the real world,” Foton Mobility general manager of light duty vehicles Bill Gillespie says.

“From a financial standpoint, it makes a lot of sense as the model allows for a genuinely affordable entry into the EV tipper market with 20 per cent lower upfront and

operational expenditure costs.”

While the new EV truck may be new to Australia, Foton says it comes with impressive credentials from markets around the world.

Last year alone, Foton produced more than 22,000 new energy commercial vehicles, with that number set to grow this year.

“In the short time we’ve been on sale here in Australia, we’ve claimed leadership in the pure-EV truck sales race,” Gillespie says.

“With the T5 EV Tipper, we’re looking to continue that growth.”

Gillespie says the Foton T5 EV can be configured for any final

application in the light-duty field outside of its tipper capabilities.

Fast charging capabilities allow for a full recharge in one-and-a-half hours, while a standard 11kW AC onboard charger can fully recharge the battery in just over seven hours, allowing for overnight turnarounds.

The T5 EV fully loaded range is 180km, with a full safety suite included.

Alongside full 24/7 roadside assistance, Foton EV trucks are also supported by a five-year/ 200,000km vehicle warranty, with the traction batteries having a warranty of eight years or 300,000kms.

Next level with a new Isuzu Behind every truck is a driver, an owner and a logistics structure supplying the work to keep the wheels rolling and the bills paid as Sydney’s Jack Singh knows only too well For nearly 20 years Sydney truck driver and owner Jack Singh has carried loads as an independent contractor, predominantly with Allied Express.

It’s a job he loves, a job he’s proud of, and one made a little more comfortable of late thanks to his decision to upgrade his truck to a new 2022 model Isuzu FSR 140-260.

“I’m an owner operator so it means that I’ve got my own business and truck,” Singh says.

“I’ve been subcontracting with Allied Express for 17 years now, the work just keeps coming and honestly, I’m thankful for it.”

Singh grew up in Fiji where his father was also involved in trucking.

“My dad had a few Isuzu NPR trucks in Fiji. When I came to Australia more than 20 years ago, I started as a furniture removalist, but it wasn’t fulfilling, “But once I got into owning and operating my own trucks, it lifted up my lifestyle and lifted up the dreams I had.

“There were a few hard days of course but now the business is flying like an eagle!”

While Singh is the first to admit

trucking has its ups and downs, he says hard work and persistence have paid off.

At the moment his days start at 4am and can take him all over Sydney and sometimes out into country New South Wales delivering car parts, touching base with customers and ensuring important clients are being well looked after.

“I bought the late 2022 model of the FSR 140-260 from Dwyers Truck Center,” Singh says.

“It’s a fantastic truck; I wanted this specific body length and size which makes it perfect for my everyday routine.”

To fit the truck to the type of driving and freight he deals with Singh chose an automatic transmission, and airbag suspension controlled from the cab. He also maxed out the length of the truck to nine metres, with 2.6m of clearance to cope with the large pallets he transports.

“When you drive metro, you need something that’s not too big or too difficult to move around, something that can easily get into car parks, handle tight corners and run around

the city all day,” Singh says.

“The FSR fits into almost any dock, any car park and you dance around corners… there’s just never any hassle with a truck like this.

“In my opinion, the FSR is one of the best trucks for Sydney metro that we’ve got at the moment.”

He says the safety systems, including Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Anti-Skid Regulator and Cab Tilt Warning (CTW), were another factor in his choice of truck, along with the peace of mind of having a six-year warranty.

Outside of the new truck Singh is celebrating a personal milestone with the arrival of a grandchild in the family. This year has been a good one for Jack and his family, with Jack thankful for a booming business and the honour of becoming a proud grandfather.

“New truck, new baby in the house, it’s been a blessing… Australia has been good to us!”

“I’m thankful for everything and everyone in the industry that have been a part of my journey and my career so far.

“It hasn’t always been easy, but I’ve loved it.”

Testing the next eCanter Australia has joined a worldwide testing program as Daimler Truck looks to update its all electric eCanter small truck with the very latest in design and technology It’s been a busy couple of years for the team at Fuso as they’ve gathered data from the very first eCanter trucks that hit the market here in 2021.

The original all-electric eCanter was the first Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) electric truck launched in Australia and has made its way into a number of high profile fleets including Bunnings, Toohey’s, Coles, Centurion, Goldstar, Linfox, Australia Post and Team Global Express.

The original eCanter was the first electric light truck with active emergency braking and the next model promises to extend this safety advantage even further with new technologies and a substantially larger line-up including different cab sizes, wheelbases and battery pack options.

With the learnings from the first version of the truck on board, the Fuso team is now testing its second generation eCanter around the world including one truck that will be operating I Melbourne day and night completing five double shifts a week – half without cargo, half fully loaded at its six tonne Gross Vehicle Mass limit.

“Fuso is determined to ensure we vigorously test our trucks, diesel or electric, in local conditions, and that

is what our customers expect from an Original Equipment Manufacturer with a long history in Australia,” Fuso Truck and Bus Australia vice president Alex Müller says.

“The zero emission eCanter is a serious workhorse, so we need to be absolutely sure it can toil hard around the clock in rain, hail and shine on Australian roads before we hand it over to our customers,” Müller says.

One of the eCanter’s new headline technologies, not seen in other electric trucks currently available in Australia, is an eAxle, which delivers considerable efficiency gains by placing the truck’s electric motor in the rear axle – removing the need for a drive shaft. This move saves weight and reduces energy losses.

The introduction of an electric Power Take Off (PTO) opens up a raft of new possibilities, with the truck’s electric power now able to operate tipper bodies, cranes, or even a fridge body.

Despite all the advances, the new eCanter can be charged with common AC power if customers don’t want to invest in a DC charging station.

The new eCanter also features a new-look exterior, while the interior has been given a major freshen-up with a futuristic digital dash and upgraded steering wheel.

Fuso will open up the Australian order books for the next generation eCanter toward the end of this year.

The new electric emergency services truck

by Volvo is sure to be easily seen

Electric fire fighter Volvo Group Australia has delivered the first zero-emissions emergency vehicle in Australia at the AFAC conference In a partnership between heavy vehicle giant Volvo Group and the ACT Emergency Services Agency (ESA), Australia’s first zero-emissions battery electric truck has been unveiled.

The novel emergency vehicle was shown to attendees at the Australasian Fire and Authorities (AFAC) conference, with Volvo handing the vehicle over at the event.

Volvo Group Australia president and CEO Martin Merrick was on hand to complete the delivery, with ACT police and emergency services minister Mick Gentleman joined by ESA acting commissioner Jason Jones to receive the inaugural electric vehicle.

Volvo Group says the purchase and delivery forms a touchstone moment for the partnership between Volvo and ESA, which first began back in July 2022.

The vehicle at the centre of the milestone is the FL Electric, a model designed for urban and city environments that comes with a superstructure designed and made in New Zealand.

Gentleman says the FL Electric will be used in the ACT for important tasks such as operational support for fire and rescue teams.

“This is a significant moment for the ACT. Transitioning emergency

services operational support vehicle to zero-emissions models is a crucial step to achieving our government’s nation-leading target of net zeroemissions by 2045,” Gentleman says.

Acting ESA commissioner Jones says the delivery of the codesigned vehicle is a major moment in Australia’s journey to reducing emissions within emergency service transport.

“As we transition our fleet, we’re excited to not only improve our environmental footprint but to

improve safety and wellbeing for our staff and volunteers,” Jones says.

Volvo says the vehicle is expected to first begin operational service in the ACT in early 2024 following initial driver development training and vehicle implementation processes initiated by the manufacturer.

Volvo Group Australia president Martin Merrick says the group expects to manufacture its range of FM and FH heavy-duty electric vehicle at its Wacol facility from 2027 pending on regulatory settings.

“Transport accounts for 19 per cent of Australia’s carbon emissions and 38 per cent of that is from road vehicles,” he says.

“With this project, government and the emergency services are leading by example in moving to net-zero vehicles. Early adopters like the ESA and ACT government should be commended and Volvo is proud to be supporting their work to shape a more sustainable world.”

Heavy tanker headlines Hino stand A truck with a 10,000 litre tank and water cannon headlined Hino’s AFAC stand Attendees at this year’s Australasian Fire and Emergency Service Authority Council (AFAC) conference in Brisbane had the chance to see the very latest in tough tanker technology from Hino Australia.

The manufacturer chose a 500 Series Wide Cab FM 2632 “Ultra Heavy Tanker” to be the hero of its stand at the event, showcasing the truck’s ability to assist emergency services personnel dealing with fires in all manner of terrain.

“The fully operational “Ultra Heavy Tanker” (UHT) has a 10,000 litre water tank, which can be operated by a small number of crew, and maximises the amount of water delivered to the fire front via a front mounted water cannon controlled by a joystick in the cabin,” Hino Australia Department manager of Product Strategy Daniel Petrovski says.

“The water capacity and ease of operation is particularly important given the volunteer shortages that some emergency services are currently facing.

“The new UHT has received extremely positive feedback from volunteers since its release in March

and is one of many that will be rolled out to brigades over the next 18 months.”

The new Hino A09C engine produces 320Hp (235kW) of power and 1275Nm of torque.

“The six-speed Allison automatic transmission ensures better drivability and convenience for all drivers,” Petrovski says.

Other special features include an air Central Tyre Inflation (CTI) system that is fitted to all tyres and allows inflation or deflation as required from the cabin, particularly useful for fighting fires in the sand or other challenging low traction off-road conditions.

Also on display was a 500 Series Wide Cab GH 1828 heavy tanker, which was specifically designed and built for the Queensland Rural Fire Service by R.A. Bell.

“Of particular interest to fire agencies is that both GH 1828 and FM 2632 are equipped with Vehicle Stability Control (VSC), a standard safety feature,” Petrovski says.

Petrovski says tankers carrying liquids are particularly susceptible to rollovers and VSC continuously

A 500 Series Wide Cab FM 2632 Ultra Heavy Tanker was the star of the Hino stand at the AFAC conference

monitors the vehicles’ operation and can help prevent an incident, such as when a vehicle enters or exits a corner too fast.

All Hino light, medium and heavyduty trucks feature Hino Australia’s new intuitive 10.1-inch ultra-highdefinition Multimedia unit, which includes wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto phone compatibility.

Enhanced functionality and usability for drivers is central to the new unit’s design, with key physical features such as volume control knob, buttons on the unit and programable control buttons on the steering wheel, As part of the upgrade, the new Multimedia unit will provide all vehicles with the capability to access Hino-Connect business telematics features, which provides customers with real-time performance data, tracking, remote diagnosis of vehicle operation and dedicated HinoConnect support specialists.

“The connectivity of the new multimedia unit and Hino-Connect will provide fleet managers and customers with full fleet connectivity,” Petrovski says.

Volvo and JJ’s trial Volvo and JJ’s will combine in the pursuit of finding a suitable solution for electric trucks in the waste management industry Heavy vehicle brand Volvo Trucks Australia has announced a new partnership with key waste management contractor JJ’s Waste and Recycling to trial the Volvo FE Electric truck in waste operations.

The Volvo model, affectionately named ‘Oscar’ by the Volvo Group Australia team, is a 6x2 FE Electric model that was showcased at Volvo’s Brisbane Truck Show stand this year.

The truck has been fitted with a rear loading, 16 cubic metre waste body suited for urban applications and ready for a three-month trial on Queensland’s Sunshine Coast.

The trial will help provide both parties insight into the impact of electric trucks in terms of range and productivity.

“The electromobility and waste management really do go hand in hand,” Volvo Trucks Australia vice president Gary Bone says.

“The stop start nature of this application in densely populated urban areas should prove to be a promising zero-emissions solution for our cities.

“I look forward to seeing the results of this trial which will prove invaluable as we continue on our decarbonisation journey.”

Bone says recent battery technology developments have

seen significant increases in both range and charging performance of electric trucks.

The FE Electric has a potential payload of up to seven tonnes depending on body positioning and the corresponding front axle load.

“This is the perfect opportunity for us to understand how we can decarbonise our fleet over time,” JJ’s

Waste and Recycling operations manager Joe Branagan says.

“Clearly we can’t just switch to electric overnight, so partnerships like this one with Volvo are vital to see what applications we can put electric trucks to work in now as well as in the future.

“I will be watching the outcome of this exercise with great interest!”

Coles goes electric with Sparky The new van, dubbed ‘Sparky’, will help cut emissions and begin a sustainability journey for Coles’ vehicle fleet Supermarket giant Coles has announced that its online team has received its first fully electric van to complete deliveries.

Coles says ordering groceries through Coles Online just got greener courtesy of the new electric van that will complete up to 240 orders a week in Flagstone, Queensland.

The delivery van has been named Sparky by the Coles team, with the vehicle to emit less emissions and save up to $170 on fuel each week.

The EV will also be quieter to run compared to other combustion engine vehicles and won’t be required to idle when not in motion in order to keep groceries at optimal temperature, which will reduce up to three hours of emissions each day.

The new addition comes as Coles pledges to install electric fridges in 500 of its delivery vans following a successful trial that ran earlier this year.

With Coles Online orders now delivering to 95 per cent of the Australian population seven days per week, the supermarket is proud to be offering a more sustainable way for households to receive their groceries.

Coles general manager of Online Network & Growth James Geddes says the new EV delivery van will support Coles to achieve its target

of reducing scope 1 & 2 emissions by more than 75 per cent by 2030.

“We are proud to introduce our first fully electric vehicle to our fleet of Coles Online delivery vans. Making around 40 deliveries to customers each day, the EV is a quieter, more efficient vehicle that produces fewer emissions than a petrol-powered vehicle,” Geddes says.

“With up to 20,000 Coles Online deliveries made seven days per week across 95 per cent of Australia, we are in a unique position to introduce more sustainable ways of delivering groceries to our customers. We look

forward to using the insights gained from this trial to welcome more electric vans to our growing fleet around the country soon.”

The initiative is in partnership with Custom Fleet.

“We are happy to partner with Coles on this positive sustainability initiative. These vans have zero tailpipe emissions and offer a reduction in noise pollution. They also need less maintenance and are more comfortable to drive due to less vibrations,” Custom Fleet CEO Chris Tulloch says.

In addition to the new electric delivery van, Coles has partnered with Linfox in the trial of an electricpowered truck in the retailer’s Supply Chain that will avoid more than 60 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions per year.

Coles is also partnering with Toll Group and Nexport to trial the first electric yard tractor in its supply chain. Capable of near 24-hour continuous operation and delivering zero emissions, the yard tractor is currently operating at a Coles Distribution Centre in Melbourne.

Coles also introduced 10 online delivery vans equipped with solarpowered electric fridges in parts of Victoria and Queensland.

Transport leaders from industry and government were out in force for the Australian Freight Industry Awards, with Kevin Halpin (centre) being named Personality of the Year

Freight industry’s best and brightest celebrated The Palladium Room at Crown Casino was the place to be on September 3 when the winners of the 2023 Australian Freight Industry Awards were announced Former Victorian Transport Association relationship manager Kevin Halpin was named Personality of the Year to round out a series of seven coveted awards when the who’s who of the freight industry gathered for their night of nights.

The 33rd Australian Freight Industry Awards drew a strong crowd to a black-tie gala event held at the Palladium Room at Crown Casino to celebrate the past 12 months in the industry.

This year’s event, backed by major sponsors TWU SUPER and Viva Energy Australia, attracted a record number of applications with finalists shortlisted across a range of categories.

The winners were: • Kevin Halpin, Personality of the Year Award – sponsored by CMV Truck & Bus • Katharina Attana of Tasman Logistics Services, Female Leadership Award – sponsored by Viva Energy Australia • Melissa Scerri of Victoria International Container Terminal, Young Achiever of the Year Award – sponsored by Daimler Truck & Bus • Hyzon Motors, Sustainable

“Master of Ceremonies Livinia Nixon did another outstanding job hosting the awards segment, stunning guests with her entry into the Crown Palladium Room on a Harley Davidson ‘Fatboy’ to a Grease musical medley by musicians Furnace and the Fundamentals, complementing and setting the scene for the 1950s theme of the evening.

“We are incredibly proud of the achievements of all our award winners, finalists, and nominees.

“It’s been another tough year as we all work to move higher and higher freight volumes, against a backdrop of labour shortages, higher costs, long lead times for trucks and equipment, and inflationary pressures starting to bite.

“So, to everyone that lodged an entry, thank you for taking the time to share your stories because the accomplishments of our industry are significant, and deserve to be acknowledged.”

The AFIA Committee extended its sincere congratulations to every winner and finalist with Awards Chairman and VTA President Mike Lean saying the committee looks forward to building on the success of this outstanding event for many years to come.

“On behalf of the Executive Council, may I add our congratulations to tonight’s award winners, and extend our thanks to every organisation that submitted a nomination,” Lean said.

“Setting another new record for entries is a tribute to the operators, suppliers and individuals who give so much, and continually strive for best practice in what they do and achieve.”

Following the presentation of awards, guests were treated to a night of fine food and entertainment from high-energy rockers Furnace and the Fundamentals and DJ Emma, with the dance floor full until lights went up, bringing the evening to a close.

“We look forward to continuing a tradition established some years ago, with AFIA winners and award sponsors gathering in a fortnight for a special luncheon at Melbourne’s Eureka Tower to reflect on the achievements and the award celebration,” Anderson said.

The Australian Freight Industry Awards will return in 2024.

Scania flicks the battery switch The new Scania battery assembly plant has been powered up and sits next to the global Scania truck assembly plant In a major milestone for the heavy vehicle brand, Scania has announced that its new purpose-built battery assembly plant in Södertälje has come online.

The factory will take battery cells produced jointly by Scania and Northvolt in northern Sweden and assemble them into modules and then into battery packs, to be transferred to the assembly line, located within the same production precinct.

“At Scania, we have made it our purpose to drive the shift towards a sustainable transport system.

With the battery assembly plant in operation, we have one of the key enablers in place to accelerate the shift to electrification,” Scania and TRATON Group president and CEO Christian Levin says.

Scania is targeting 50 per cent of its vehicle sales to be battery-powered by 2030. Further ahead, up to 100 per cent of vehicles can run on electricity.

“The shift to electrified solutions is the biggest transformation in the history of transport, and 2023 is the year when it truly takes off,” Levin says.

“The proof points are being launched one by one and the 1.5 billion

SEK (AU$210 million) investment in this new battery assembly plant is one of them.”

In April 2023, Scania and Northvolt unveiled a jointly developed battery cell, specifically designed for heavyduty transport with outstanding performance and a uniquely low carbon footprint.

These cells are produced at the Northvolt ETT gigafactory in northern Sweden and will be assembled into packs at the new 18,000-square-meter plant in Södertälje, enabling the start of serial production of Scania’s premium electric trucks for regional transport.

The installed capacity at the factory allows it to handle one battery cell every second, while a battery pack is produced every four minutes.

The module line is fully automated with 38 robots doing the work. The pack line is around 50 per cent automated, with 34 robots and employees working together. The assembled packs form battery systems tailored for Scania’s modular vehicle manufacturing.

The assembly plant will work around the clock to supply the chassis production line with the batteries it needs. A typical truck

could contain up to 1,000 battery cells formed into modules and packs, which can weigh up to 1200 kg.

Annual battery module capacity has been configured to match the total number of trucks built at the adjacent production facility.

By locating the assembly plant close to the chassis line in Södertälje, which was reconfigured this summer for large-scale production of electric vehicles, the conditions for fast and efficient manufacturing flows are in place. The battery assembly plant will employ 550 Scania colleagues at full capacity.

“Despite a rapidly changing business landscape, our promise to always put our customers first remains,” Scania head of production and logistics Marcus Holm says.

“Being premium means that we deliver solutions that are both highest quality - and sustainable.

The cell now being assembled into modules and packs is a perfect example of this. The battery packs can power trucks for 1.5 million km – equivalent to a truck’s lifetime. It is a privilege to drive change together with all our partners and customers.”

Australian hydrogen history in Brisbane BOC is combining with the likes of bp and the Queensland government on the newly opened hydrogen refuelling project Gas and engineering company BOC, part of Linde, has announced alongside bp Australia that it has officially opened Australia’s first hydrogen refuelling station at a service station.

The station at the bp Port of Brisbane Truckstop in Lytton is live now for heavy vehicle operators.

This milestone marks the completion of BOC’s Bulwer Island end-to-end renewable hydrogen demonstration project funded by BOC, Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), the Queensland government and bp Australia.

BOC is producing renewable hydrogen at its Bulwer Island production site with a 220 kW electrolyser powered by solar energy generated onsite. It is then transported in hydrogen tube trailers to the Linde hydrogen refuelling station located at the bp Port of Brisbane Truckstop.

The Queensland government’s QFleet will use the facility to refill its current fleet of five-hydrogen powered Hyundai Nexos in approximately 3-5 minutes. Any member of the public with a hydrogen car can also register with bp to refill their passenger vehicle with a bp plus card.

BOC South Pacific managing director Binod Patwari says the project is an excellent example of two leading companies working together to leverage skills and existing infrastructure to progress

the renewable hydrogen industry.

“BOC is proud to officially open this hydrogen refuelling station with bp Australia, which is a critical part of our Bulwer Island end-toend renewable hydrogen project and demonstrates our commitment to progress hydrogen as a zero emissions fuel for transport,” Patwari says.

“Our Bulwer Island production site is strategically located to supply renewable hydrogen to industrial and transport customers in Queensland. We are committed to scaling our hydrogen capabilities at this site in the future to support decarbonisation of high-emitting industries and working with government and industry to activate demand for hydrogen across Queensland.

“The successful integration of a hydrogen refuelling station at

an existing service station has delivered key learnings that will pave the way for more hydrogen refuelling infrastructure across Australia’s service station network.

Leveraging this existing infrastructure will be important to support the uptake of heavy transport particularly on major freight routes across Australia.

Queensland energy, renewables and hydrogen minister Mick de Brenni says Queensland’s green hydrogen industry is the next frontier in a world hungry for renewables and the greatest climate, jobs and economic opportunity in a generation.

“The decarbonisation of transport is one of the clearest routes to take as we travel towards our 2050 net-zero emissions target, and here in Queensland the rubber is hitting the road,” de Brenni says.

“Green hydrogen will be a game changer in decarbonising heavy haulage, shipping, manufacturing and aviation–slashing emissions, helping tackle climate change and safeguarding our natural wonders for generations to come.

“Hydrogen in the vehicle network offers benefits in terms of range, payloads and fast refuelling, so I could not be prouder that it’s Queenslanders driving the change in building the national East Coast Renewable Hydrogen Superhighway.”

Purely hydrogen partnership

A render of the Solo general waste collection truck to be delivered in 2024

Waste collection is about to get cleaner with a pure hydrogen play Australian clean energy company Pure Hydrogen Corporation Limited has executed a term sheet for the provision of a Hydrogen Fuel Cell (HFC) waste collection truck for Australian waste management company Solo Resource Recovery (Solo) to service their Municipal contracts including Tweed Shire in northern New South Wales.

The agreement with Solo includes further supply of HFC waste collection trucks, subject to conditions precedent including a successful six-month trial outcome.

Solo is a privately-owned Australian waste management company providing kerbside waste collections for councils across most regions in Australia.

Pure Hydrogen’s HFCEV waste collection truck will be deployed for an initial period of six months to Solo’s municipal operations facilitating waste collections from

households in 2024.

Pure Hydrogen says it is in the final stages of delivering Australia’s first hydrogen fuel cell refuse collection vehicle which is expected to be trialled in late. Pure Hydrogen has exclusive distribution rights for the truck design in Australia.

The truck to be supplied for the Solo trial is a side-loading, general household waste collection vehicle.

The trial will allow Solo to determine the feasibility of the hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle under different operating conditions, and it is an opportunity for participating Councils to determine how they can transition to hydrogen fuelled electric waste collection vehicles, and the infrastructure to support the technology.

Solo Resource Recovery’s National Fleet Manager Mark Taylor says they are excited about the partnership.

“We are pleased to have signed

this agreement with Pure Hydrogen and are proud to be trialling their Hydrogen Fuel Cell Electric waste collection vehicle with the aim to initially trial the vehicle in the Tweed Region – the very region where Solo commenced operations over 90 years ago.

“Solo has always seen innovation as a core part of our long involvement in the Waste Industry.

“Our partnership with Pure Hydrogen is the natural next step to ensuring a resilient and sustainable waste sector.

“Our collaboration with Pure Hydrogen represents practical and real progress towards a realistic and achievable circular economy.

“Importantly, this potentially will enable our valued customers to transition toward a circular economy where the Environment, Consumers and Industry all benefit,” Taylor says.

Ampol enters hydrogen market Ampol has announced a global partnership that will help it welcome in a new hydrogen refuelling station down under Australian petrol company Ampol has entered into a partnership with hydrogen equipment manufacturer and supplier OneH2 Inc to represent the United States based company in the Australian hydrogen market.

The OneH2 partnership will allow Ampol to offer a unique and complete hydrogen refuelling solution, giving customers the opportunity to trial hydrogen technology and better understand how it can further assist their decarbonisation journeys, through alternative fuel options.

Ampol executive general manager of international and new business Brent Merrick says the partnership with OneH2 is a natural extension to Ampol’s fuel portfolio, given its expertise in transport fuels, reliable supply chains and the similarities between hydrogen and fuel products.

“We are excited to partner with OneH2 and expand our role in the hydrogen space, as we continue to work to deliver safe, reliable, and convenient future energy solutions for customers,” Merrick says.

“Hydrogen has a key role to play in reducing emissions across Australia’s transport and broader energy sector and offers a unique opportunity to decarbonise hard to abate heavy transport and heavy machinery sectors.

“We expect early hydrogen adoption within heavier vehicle fleets and operations who will benefit from short refuelling times and longer range compared to current battery electric alternatives.”

OneH2 president and CEO Paul Dawson says: “Our products are engineered to the highest standard

and we are excited to see them in use supporting Australia’s decarbonisation efforts.”

“Over the past 18 months, we have been pleasantly surprised and encouraged by Ampol’s forwardthinking strategy for hydrogen in the transport sector.

“We’re proud to be working with Ampol, an iconic, Australian owned transport energy provider.

Hydrogen as a transport fuel is not easy. Our experience in designing, manufacturing and deploying hydrogen equipment across the US over the past eight years, will allow us to accelerate its adoption in the Australian market.”

Initially, Ampol will deploy OneH2’s on-site refuelling offer which will allow customers to easily refuel their hydrogen equipment safely on site, where they need it.

Diagnostics: Open Road

Saving lives Road culture needs to change if we’re going to save lives Road safety is not a blame game and it’s not a case of Us versus Them.

But research consistently finds that in fatal collisions involving a car and a truck, the car is at fault about 80 per cent of the time.

What’s crystal clear is that Australia needs to embrace a better on-road culture, where light vehicle drivers are more aware of the requirements to drive safely around heavy vehicles.

With this in mind, NatRoad commissioned national research 18 months ago to examine public attitudes towards heavy vehicles.

Some 91 per cent of Australians said they considered road transport “important”: or a “very important” part of their lives.

It was a representative sample of Australian road users while the pandemic was still fresh in their minds so perhaps that’s not a surprising finding.

It’s when road user attitudes were tested that it became more interesting.

Some 81 per cent agreed that truck drivers are considerate and drive well around other road users.

Conversely, 37 per cent reported seeing an instance of poor truck driving in the previous month.

Some 96 per cent of Australians who drive on roads give themselves a tick for driving well around trucks but they are less certain about “other people”, with only 48 per cent agreeing that others drive well around trucks.

Warren Clark, CEO of the National Road Transport Association

Let’s go out on a limb and make some observations here.

Clearly, light vehicle drivers have a higher opinion of their own abilities behind the wheel than they do of their peers.

But trucks being large and imposing beasts, just one instance of a driver behaving badly trends to leave a lasting impression in a motorist’s mind.

I’ve heard drivers bemoan their poor standing with car drivers and in the community generally.

NatRoad’s research found that 40 per cent of Aussies personally know someone who drives either a small, medium, or large truck (or more than one category).

Truck drivers are not a distant and remote group, they are people they know and socialise with, so their reputation can’t be that bad.

The bottom line here is that a whopping 98 per cent either strongly agreed or agreed that road freight is an essential industry.

All this adds up to the need to change the motoring culture.

Experts have long praised the mindset of defensive driving and some education authorities try and

instil in high school students with freshly-minted licenses.

Courtesy needs to be at the heart of how every road-user acts when behind the wheel.

Motorists don’t need to fear a truck when they see one on the highway, they just need to be more aware and instinctively know how to behave.

We have a National Road Safety Strategy. Its shortcoming is not in its intent but its failure to tackle the big issue of on-road culture.

The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator is trying to raise awareness of heavy vehicles among young drivers and that’s great, but we need to go much further.

NatRoad is right behind planning principles being put in place to separate heavy vehicles from light vehicles wherever new infrastructure is built but that’s a slow process that will take the best part of a generation to occur, if at all.

Let’s have a Government-backed national education and advertising campaign urging all road users to lift their game and respect each other.

Every licensing authority in each State and Territory must embed questions about behaviour around trucks into their tests.

Prove you know how much room to give a truck, and that you know not to turn from the inside lane in front of one, or stay on your L plates.

Only when motorists are educated from a young age to understand and respect heavy vehicles, will we see markedly safer roads.

Supporting super single tyres Important research into new tyre technology has found promising results for the nation’s fleets and roads The Truck Industry Council (TIC) and the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) have released the findings of the latest research project investigating the impacts of the next evolution in tyre development – wide tyres, also referred to as ‘Super Singles’.

Wide single and ultrawide single tyres have been available for decades internationally, however until now, there has never been a substantial study focusing on Australian road construction, in particular sprayed seal unbound granular pavements.

The research has found that the use of wide tyres across more vehicles wouldn’t cause greater damage or wear to roads.

This knowledge has always been a barrier to the adoption of next generation wider tyres in Australia.

To address the knowledge gap, a large-scale testing program using the National Transport Research Organisation’s (NTRO) Accelerated Loading Facility was conducted.

Nine identically designed pavements were constructed, with each loaded repeatedly to determine the relative rate of pavement wear for each tyre.

The results showed the pavement deformation rates for both the dual tyres and single tyres were within a similar range, and the 255/70R22.5 dual tyres caused the highest deformation rate.

The comparative pavement wear of super single tyres was not as sensitive to modest variations in inflation pressure, when compared to duals.

“Taking a real-world perspective on the comparatively small

differences in pavement wear found, the pavement damage exhibited by the commonly used 11R22.5 dual tyre configuration was notably influenced by inflation pressure, with the highest damage observed when these tyres were over-inflated - a common occurrence in practice,” TIC technical officer Paul Caus says.

“In addition to the finding, day-today use of single tyres makes it easier for drivers to check tyre conditions, monitor inflation pressures and inspect brake components reducing the risk of overheating brakes and wheel end fires.”

The project was funded by the NHVR’s Heavy Vehicle Safety Initiative, supported by the federal government, and was led by TIC, the peak industry body representing truck manufacturers and importers in Australia.

Harnessing the sun to drive a greener trucking future Innovation and evolution are the name of the game in the zero emission truck space and European giant Scania is looking to the sun for its latest inspiration

Imagine trucks driving the highways of the world generating their own power simply by interacting with the environment they are working in.

For a small team of dreamers and academics working together on Scania’s solar-powered truck development project, that vision is taking baby steps toward becoming reality.

Since late 2019 the manufacturer has been earnestly pursuing the idea of using solar power to help power the batteries required to keep electric trucks on the road.

Scania project manager Eric Falkgrim says the cutting-edge concept shows real promise for the future of transport.

“When we first began thinking about this more than three years ago, our starting point was the lithium-ion batteries that are used in battery-electric trucks,” he says.

“In the time that Scania has been

working with that technology, we’ve seen the batteries become lighter, cheaper and more energy dense.

“We asked ourselves: ‘What if solar cells show a similar trend? If the efficiency of the cells doubles, the cost halves or drops away a lot, is there a breakeven point?’ We wanted to find out if it makes sense to develop this technology.”

Scania reports that after an initial six-month pre-study in late 2019 and early 2020 it believed it made sense to explore the technology. With the help of funding from the Swedish state innovation agency Vinnova, a full-scale project began in January 2021, with solar cell development by Uppsala University.

A complete working model of a solar electric heavy truck has been built and is about to go into trials with Scania freight partner Ernst Express for testing on Swedish roads.

Not only with testing in Sweden

keep the truck close to its team, the thinking is simple – if a solar truck can work in Sweden’s often dark, cloudy and cold environment – it should work even better in sunnier environments such as Australia.

“We specifically wanted to see if it made sense in Sweden because if you go to places such as Southern Europe, Australia or North Africa, there’s obviously a lot more sunshine,” Falkgrim says.

“If it can work here in the less sunny and somewhat darker conditions then that would confirm the widespread validity of the project.”

A small team of about 12 people, including software developers, hardware developers and project managers have been involved in the project over the past 19 months, taking a start-up approach to identifying an opportunity and puzzling out potential ways of delivering on it.

“We knew very early on what we wanted to do. The overall task seems simple – putting solar panels on a truck and plugging it in to the electrical system,” Falkgrim says.

“But it’s a little bit of a wild and crazy idea because it comes with a lot of new hardware and software systemisation and development, to make it safe to handle the transfer of power, and to handle faults.

“The plug-in hybrid truck/tractor with all the ‘regular systems’ (100 kWh energy storage) is connected to the trailer with additional batteries, which have 200 kWh energy storage and act as a ‘power bank’ for the truck, and they’re connected to the solar panel box that charges the power bank.

There’s also the challenge of finding the right solar panels to work in a mobile environment.

“They’re designed to sit stationary on top of a house for 20 or 30 years. We’ve had to address safety

challenges in putting solar panels on a vehicle,” Falkgrim says.

“So, it’s fairly involved from a technical point of view, but we don’t have that pressure of it being a fullscale project where we’re producing something that will be sold globally to hundreds and thousands of customers.

“It’s a research project that’s about seeing if the solution makes sense, and, so far, we believe it does.”

While a solar truck could deliver true efficiency to the transport world – the researchers believe this method of energy generation may also have a broader benefit for the world’s power grids.

“This could have repercussions for the energy industry,” Falkgrim says.

“If you scale up the solution you could have thousands of vehicles connected to the grid, so this could have implications for buying and selling electricity to and from the grid.

“I think there’s a natural development in the industry where energy provision and the transport industry are growing together.

“There’s a real symbiosis with electrical vehicles. You can produce your own electricity and you can drive on your own electricity, which is a completely new situation.”

Though a commercial application for the truck is some years away, Falkgrim is excited about the handover to Ernst Express and by the long-term prospects of solar-cell technology.

“The data we already have says that solar panels do contribute significantly to the energy you’re getting for the truck, and it’s one part of the overall puzzle when it comes to decarbonised transport.

“The first thing we need to find out is ‘does this make sense?’ And to answer that: yes, it’s good enough to work on the scale that we are doing now.”

Latest in EV charging unveiled Flinders University has won global awards for its electric vehicle charging ingenuity At South Australia’s Flinders University, a landmark electric vehicle charging station showcasing award-winning bidirectional vehicle-to-grid technology has grabbed worldwide attention.

The project, backed by the SA government, is a collaboration between ENGIE and Flinders University to bring 10 Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) chargers online.

The V2G charging bays can charge and discharge electricity to the campus’s electricity grid, creating a virtual power plant (VPP) to benefit the University’s fleet, staff and students.

The University already has regular DC and AC chargers available to those who’ve made the switch to electric vehicles, with the entire network delivering the University’s solar and wind-sourced energy.

The V2G bays will be used to feed renewable energy from compatible EVs back into the campus grid as part of the new VPP established by ENGIE for the trial.

The project has just won Flinders University the Sustainable Development Goals Initiative of the

Year Award at the Triple E Awards in Barcelona.

The initiative is one of several funded under the State Government’s $3.2 million Smart Charging Trials.

Data from the trials will frame and inform the future direction of EVs in South Australia as we strive for net zero emissions by 2050.

The trials complement South Australia’s state-wide EV charging network being rolled out by the RAA, delivering more than 500 charging bays to 140 sites in 52 locations.

South Australian transport minister Tom Koutsantonis says South Australian ingenuity has taken its place on the world stage yet again with this award-winning smart charging trial.

“We are delighted to see this bold trial at Flinders hit its first key milestone, charging electric vehicles and feeding power back into the grid when needed, demonstrating how EVs can be harnessed to support SA’s electricity system during peak demand periods,” he says.

“More and more electric vehicles will be hitting our roads in years to come as we travel towards net

The new electric vehicle chargers at Flinders University in South Australia will allow the EVs to provide their energy back to the power grid in peak times

zero emissions. With trials like this investigating the possibilities for broad use of this technology we can be confident we are on the right track.”

Flinders University vice-chancellor Professor Colin Stirling says as part of the University’s mission to be climate positive and reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, it has invested in a growing fleet of electric vehicles and the infrastructure needed to support them – including bidirectional smart chargers which will enable its EVs to store electricity at the Bedford Park campus for use during periods of peak demand.

“Flinders runs on 100 per cent renewable energy, including 20 per cent generated right here on campus through our massive solar arrays. Thanks to the South Australian government’s Electric Vehicle Smart Charging Trial we’re taking another big step towards sustainability,” Stirling says.

“With inspiring education and research into solar and battery technologies we’re supporting South Australia’s transition to a renewable world, underpinned by incredible research growth of 140 per cent in just five years.”

Heavy vehicle projects named The 12 recipients of heavy vehicle safety funding have been listed by the federal government Following the news that the federal government, in line with the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR), will be funding 21 heavy vehicle projects as part of the Heavy Vehicle Safety Initiative (HVSI), the government has listed the projects to be funded.

The government says $3.8 million will be invested into 12 heavy vehicle safety initiatives as part of Round 8 of the program, including for roadside health and wellness screening, driver training and increasing vulnerable road user safety.

A further nine projects were selected outside of the original 12 to receive funding as part of a once-off

Chain of Responsibility (CoR) training and education project move.

These latest projects include Advantia Transport Consulting, ANCAP Australasia, the Bus & Coach Association of South Australia, the Crane Industry Council of Australia, Eurobodalla Shire Council, Healthy Heads, the National Bulk Tanker Association, the Queensland Trucking Association and the Truck Industry Council.

See below the full list of projects to be funded by the government as part of the Round 8 HVSI funding program: • Advantia Transport Consulting

Road block A major traffic contractor was ordered by the federal court to enter liquidation as major WA road projects could be disrupted by the collapse Major traffic contractor Advanced Traffic Management has announced that it has entered liquidation, leaving 400 employees jobless in Western Australia.

In late August, Advanced Traffic Management in WA appointed David

Hodgson and Andrew Hewitt as liquidators after the federal court ordered the company to do so, with staff allegedly finding out they had lost their jobs over text.

Advanced Traffic Management,

– for vehicle specification envelopes for three common PBS vehicles • ANCAP Australasia – for light truck ADAS safety comparisons • The Bus & Coach Association of SA – for BusSAFE projects • Crane Industry Council of Australia – for the national rollout of the articulated mobile crane driver education course • Eurobodalla Shire Council – for Kings Highway Road safety partnership • Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds – for tailored mental health training across the supply chain • National Bulk Tanker Association – for learning from near misses to improve bulk tanker safety • OzHelp Foundation – for health in gear phase three • Queensland Trucking Association – for Think.

according to WA Today, held contracts with Decmil, CPB and Acciona while working on infrastructure projects such as the Bunbury Outer Ring Road.

The Advanced Traffic Management business was part of the wider ATM group, with a WA government spokesperson saying the collapse of the company wouldn’t delay major projects.

Instead, the WA government has called on construction companies to employ jobless people involved in the collapse.

Advanced Traffic Management in WA was founded more than 20 years ago in Perth while operating throughout WA. Unions are now negotiating with the WA government to find a way to employ hundreds of workers who have lost their jobs.

The liquidation, according to ABC News, began in April when a subsidiary company launched an application, with the causes of Advanced Traffic Management’s liquidation yet to be determined.

Supply chain strategy launched The federal transport and infrastructure minister has opened the strategy review for industry to lodge submissions

Shell Card wins best in business rating The Shell Card team have plenty to smile about after winning an award for customer service from Canstar Blue A survey by Canstar Blue has found Viva Energy’s Shell Card to be the top of the list in terms of the satisfaction of customers in the Small Business Fuel Card category.

The Most Satisfied Customers Award in the Small Business Fuel Card category for 2023 has gone to Viva Energy’s Shell Card.

Judging for the Awards was decided by the results of a survey of more than 450 small business owners and key decision makers who were questioned about their use of fuel cards in the last 12 months.

Shell Card was found to be the leader in all eight categories, including Overall Satisfaction, Client Service, Petrol Station Facilities, Account Management, Loyalty Program, Fees and Charges, Petrol Station Availability and Fuel Discounts.

Jevan Bouzo, Viva Energy’s CEO of Convenience and Mobility, says it is pleasing to see the efforts of Viva Energy’s Shell Card team being recognised and appreciated by customers.

“Our team members are

constantly striving to provide customers with service that exceeds their expectations,” he says.

“This award shows that their efforts are being recognised. It is also pleasing to see that Shell Card has become such a critical and practical tool for small businesses.

We will continue to work to make Shell Card indispensable for Australian businesses.”

Over the past 12 months the Shell Card team has been focused on improving its offering, including development of its dedicated Australian-based call centre, the new Shell Card portal, and enhancements to the Shell Card GO app.

The Canstar research showed that the Shell Card outperformed the rest of the market across all variables, particularly on fuel discounts and fees and charges.

The research identified that client service and the loyalty program are the strongest drivers of overall customer satisfaction for small business fuel cards.

The federal government has formally launched the review of the National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy following agreement with state and territory infrastructure and transport ministers.

The government says the strategy is a holistic, coordinated and multi-modal approach to increase the safety, productivity and resilience of freight and supply chains, agreed by all jurisdictions. It sets an agenda for government and industry action across all freight modes to 2040 and beyond.

Australia’s supply chains are critical to the future economic success and to strengthening the connections between regions and urban centres.

The government says that is why infrastructure and transport ministers across Australia have responded to calls from industry to commence the first review of the strategy.

The review will ensure the strategy remains fit-for-purpose for the Australian freight and supply chain industry.

Federal transport minister Catherine King says she knows the industry has experienced unprecedented and compounding disruptions over the past four years including a global pandemic, extreme weather events, geopolitical tensions, skills shortages and more.

She says the review is a critical opportunity to take stock of what has changed and what has been achieved since 2019. It will help build a more effective strategy that is better equipped to address Australia’s growing and changing freight task.

The review will assess if there are gaps in the strategy’s goals and identify priorities for the next five-year National Action Plan.

Stakeholder engagement will be an important part of identifying these gaps and priorities. The review will undertake stakeholder consultation and consider public submissions. In late August, King says she’s looking forward to hosting a round table to hear directly from industry how the strategy can be strengthened.

The Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts will lead the review in close collaboration with industry and state and territory governments. Ministers will consider the recommendations of the review by the end of this year.

Data boost for road safety Recent “devastating” road safety statistics in Australia is pushing the government to improve its national road safety data collection methods A road safety report released in August has spurred the federal government to act by pledging to improve data collection methods and ultimately make roads safer.

The BITRE released the Road Deaths Australia bulletin, showing a higher than average number of road deaths for July in a result that federal assistant transport minister Carol Brown says is “both devastating and disappointing”.

“Road safety matters are complex and don’t have quick solutions, which is why the federal government is working with states and territories on a number of road safety measures to halve road deaths by 2030, on the path to zero by 2050,” Brown says.

The federal government plans to respond to the bulletin by improving the national road safety data collection and reporting methods in Australia.

Brown admits there are many complexities involving in producing a nationally consistent road safety data set, with the data owned and recorded by individual states and territories and the collection of road safety data not usually being the primary reason for research.

Brown says Australian states and territories also have differences in how they record and report this data.

The federal government will complete a National Road Safety Data Collection and Reporting Framework alongside a minimum national dataset for 2024 as part of its National Road Safety Action Plan 2023-25.

Brown says this plan will prioritise quality and timely data to inform road safety action, with the federal government to work with all Australian state and territory governments on this privacyprotected dataset.

“Already, the working group is cataloguing the nation’s current road safety data holdings, with a first iteration of the catalogue published on the Road Safety Data Hub in May,” Brown says.

“The government looks forward to continuing to deliver on this framework and our range of other road safety commitments to help save lives and reduce road trauma in Australia.

“This includes the $43.6 million new National Road Safety Actions Program, which will support projects targeting a number of critical road safety focus areas such as research and data.”

New fleet for Eversons Regional NSW-based company Everson’s Food Processors has grown its fleet with a new silver Fuso Shogun 400 The Shogun has been fitted with a TRS meat hanger body and a Thermo King refrigeration system to support Everson’s work in meat delivery and transportation.

Everson’s is a meat processing, wholesaling and transport service, providing beef, lamb, goat and biproducts, including protein material and hides, to retailers including IGA. This is the second Shogun joining the Everson’s fleet, with Everson’s transport manager JA McKiernan saying “he couldn’t believe good it was” when he drove the first Shogun.

Everson’s makes all its truck purchases from the Mavin Truck Centre in South Kempsey.

The family-owned business has now purchased more than 20 trucks from the dealership, including recently buying two more Shogun rigids and a Shogun 510 prime mover.

Fuso trucks have proven to be popular with the team at Everson’s Food Processors

Everson’s fleet also features several Freightliner trucks which deliver its products further afield, including three Freightliner Cascadia 116 prime movers, the third of which is also a new purchase.

McKiernan says he hasn’t had an issue yet with any of the trucks.

“The original two have not put a foot wrong so it was an easy decision to go for another Cascadia,” McKiernan says.

Located in the coastal Frederickton, north of Port Macquarie, Everson’s has more than 200 employees and has been in operation for more than 30 years.

The project is designed to ease congestion and expand access to Thornton Road, offering a flood-free route and improving freight access.

Final contracts for Inland Rail The ARTC has announced the final three companies that are vying for the final Victorian Inland Rail project contracts The Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) has announced the shortlist of companies vying for the final Victorian construction projects of the Inland Rail.

Inland Rail has shortlisted construction contractors CPB Contractors, John Holland and McConnell Dowell to build the final eight Inland Rail projects in Victoria.

Following the shortlist, the three companies will now begin developing final design and construct tender submissions for the Inland Rail Beveridge

to Albury section for Tranche 2 works at Benalla, Euroa, Broadford, Wandong, Seymour and Tallarook.

The Request for Tender shortlisting follows a rigorous expression of interest process that drew a high standard of responses from local and interstate construction firms to deliver Inland Rail, a nation building project that will transform how goods are moved around Australia.

In Victoria, work will be undertaken at 12 sites to enable double-stacked freight trains to pass safely and ensure everyday

consulting with community members and stakeholders over key issues relating to the bridge and its impacts.

NSW premier Chris Minns says the focus is on providing a safe and reliable road network to the East Maitland area.

“Over the next 20 years it’s estimated we will see an increase of nearly 7,000 residents and 3,500 jobs, which is why we need to start work now to ensure traffic flows smoothly.”

NSW regional transport and roads minister Jenny Aitchison says the project is one of the many vital ones of its kind that needs to be delivered.

“The precinct is so congested during peak periods and flooding that it may as well double as a bumper-to-bumper car park sometimes,” Aitchison says.

“This will be a game changer for essential workers who are constantly stuck in traffic and are spending hours in the car to get to work, education and medical appointments.

“As one of the flood-free routes connecting the northern parts of Maitland to the M1, Pacific Highway and the Hunter Expressway, the duplication of this bridge is vital for our community.”

products can be delivered faster and more reliably around Australia.

McConnell Dowell is currently delivering four Beveridge to Albury Tranche 1 sites at Glenrowan, Barnawartha North, Wangaratta, and Seymour.

The preferred contractor will be announced in mid-2024, with Tranche 2 construction starting from 2025.

“The remaining eight Victorian Inland Rail sites will be awarded to the very best available team and ARTC is now entering a formal Request for Tender phase to determine who will be chosen,” ARTC Victoria and South Australia projects general manager Ed Walker says.

“The successful contractor for this portion of the work will be required to deliver initiatives and meet targets related to industry participation, sustainability, employment and workforce development with the Inland Rail team working closely with them to achieve these targets.

“The first four Tranche 1 sites are moving quickly and it will be great to get the shovels in the ground for the remaining eight Tranche 2 sites.”

Medlog heads to Port Botany Medlog is expanding its presence in NSW through the acquisition of a container transport business Logistics and supply chain company Medlog has announced it plans to acquire transport business Trojan Transport to venture into the Port Botany region.

Trojan Transport has been a specialised container transport, distribution, warehouse and storage company based in NSW since 1978.

It has a fleet of 26 trucks operating from its 9000sqm site at Port Botany.

Medlog operates in more than 70 countries, and with this acquisition is set to enhance its international capabilities and container logistics operations in Australia.

Road Freight NSW (RFNSW) CEO Simon O’Hara has welcomed Medlog to the membership and congratulated Trojan Transport general manager on the news.

Medlog Oceania COO Ned Zver says the acquisition will have a limited impact on Trojan Transport.

“While this acquisition provides further growth and development for Medlog, there are no changes to existing procurement, transport and logistics services with Trojan Transport and existing customers,” Zver says.

“This includes, but isn’t limited to, the servicing of works, execution of payment processes and agreed term.

“The combined team at Medlog and Trojan Transport remain committed to providing all clients with the highest quality customer service that customers have come to expect while adapting logistical services to meet evolving needs.”

Malec expands in Brisbane Malec has officially moved into its new site at the Port of Brisbane as part of a new 10-year lease agreement Australian logistics company Malec has announced it has moved into a new Port of Brisbane (PBPL) container storage and logistics site as part of a new 10-year lease deal.

With the help of contractor FKG, construction of the new site finished in June, with the 4.35 hectare site set on Fisherman Islands.

After being established as a small courier company in Geelong back in 1997, Malec now has more than 300 stuff and a fleet of more than 400 trucks and trailers.

The space includes 750sqm of workshops, a 300sqm office and 60kW rooftop solar to go along with recycled water and stormwater collection.

The new facility has been built on a repurposed brownfield site, with PBPL chief commercial officer David Keir welcoming Malec to the location.

“Malec first came to Port of Brisbane during a phase of significant growth and transition for the company.

“We worked to secure them a temporary site, while our teams

worked together to design and deliver a purpose-built permanent home that’s close to the action of the Port’s quayline and terminals,” Keir says.

“We continue to see strong trade growth through the Port, including a record 1.53 million twenty-foot equivalents (TEUs) in FY22. As Port of Brisbane continues to grow, so too do opportunities for our customers such as Malec.”

Managing director Matthew Malec says this development at Australia’s third largest multi-cargo port is testament to the company’s ambitions and commitment to customers.

“This is the first of many projects we’ve got in the pipeline across the country to align with our goal of leading the way for safety, service and sustainability in the port transport logistics industry,” Malec says.

“Finally, we are growing our team and will have more announcements coming soon.”

Expansion underway for DP World Whether it be a new executive VP or an investment in a critical Sydney side, DP World is expanding in Australia Logistics company DP World has announced it has appointed new key members to its team while also expanding its supply chain solutions in Australia.

DP World has appointed Nicolaj Noes as new executive vice president for Oceania at DP World Asia Pacific, succeeding Andrew Adam.

Noes will be responsible for overseeing DP World’s business in Oceania and driving its ongoing transformation into an end-to-end supply chain solutions provider.

Noes was most recently the managing director for Svitzer, a leading global towage provider, in Australia and brings with him more than three decades of experience in the maritime industry, working across multiple geographies in Asia and Europe.

Prior to his time at Svitzer, Noes spent 30 years with Maersk, holding various leadership positions in Singapore, Australia, China, and Denmark.

“With his depth of experience in maritime industry, his passion for serving customers, his commitment to develop and inspire his team, Nicolaj is the perfect leader to take

DP World forward and accelerate the company’s growth opportunities across Oceania,” DP World Asia Pacific CEO and managing director Glen Hilton says.

Noes says: “I am honoured to join the DP World’s talented team in Asia Pacific and lead the Oceania team.

I have tremendous regard for the company’s rich history and purpose that is to make the world flow and change what’s possible for everyone.”

“I look forward to leveraging my experience to further strengthen DP World’s position across the Oceania supply chain and deliver exceptional value to our customers, partners, and stakeholders.”

DP World is also expanding its supply chain solutions in Australia through a new investment in Stockland’s Yennora Distribution Centre in Sydney.

By February 2024, DP World will almost double warehousing capacity at Yennora, by adding three new warehouses with a combined area of nearly 45,000 sqm, to create a major contract logistics hub. These new warehouses – along with an existing 60,000 sqm facility at the site – will be operated in partnership with AWH,

The expanded facility will provide customers with a full end-to-end supply chain service, connecting importers and exporters to a range of logistics services via rail and road. Customers will also benefit from the seamless connectivity to DP World sites at Port Botany and the Sydney Port Precinct, gaining access to a suite of services including warehousing, transportation and freight forwarding.

The Yennora Distribution Centre is one of the Southern Hemisphere’s largest distribution centres, and among six intermodal terminals servicing the greater Sydney area.

The centre operates as an intermodal terminal with rail sidings connected to Main Southern Rail Line providing direct connectivity to Port Botany and DP World’s Sydney Terminal and container park facility for importers and exporters within the zone.

DP World will also play a critical role in co-designing a new masterplan for the Yennora Distribution Centre with owner Stockland, one of Australia’s largest diversified property groups.

New sales lead at Isuzu

Grant Walford - Isuzu Australia Limited (IAL) National Fleet Sales Manager

The retirement of Isuzu Trucks expert Tony Kerr has created an opportunity for growth at Isuzu Australia Limited Isuzu Australia Limited (IAL), has appointed Grant Walford as National Fleet Sales Manager, replacing retiring incumbent and Isuzu Trucks expert, Tony Kerr.

Across his career, Walford has secured and managed major accounts including government and blue-chip customers, putting this experience to effect driving fleet sales for Isuzu Trucks in his previous position as IAL Fleet Manager for New South Wales since 2020.

IAL director and chief operating officer Andrew Harbison says Walford’s achievements and vision for fleet business made him the ideal choice for the national role.

“Grant’s extensive experience

across the automotive industry and at IAL in New South Wales stands him in good stead as he comes to fill in the big shoes left by our previous national fleet manager, Tony Kerr,” Harbison says.

“Grant not only understands Isuzu’s broad product range; he has the best interests of our customers at heart, regardless of whether that customer is a small local trade business or an international logistics company with a large truck fleet.”

Walford says he is looking forward to his new position at a time when the heavy vehicle industry is experiencing significant evolution.

“The industry has seen unprecedented change in the last

few years, especially off the back of COVID and the growth that has continued on since then,” Walford says.

“My goal is to continue to streamline the business and focus on the Tier One fleets that Isuzu Trucks supports and build on that momentum.

“It’s critically important that we continue to have the right people on the ground in each zone, working with customers to understand their business and the environments that they operate in.

“I believe customers will continue to benefit from working with Isuzu as we meet current demand but as we look to the future with brand new models arriving over the next 24 months.”

FedEx goes regional FedEx Express has opened a huge new site in south-east Victoria as it aims to capitalise on a growing market Logistics and transport company FedEx Express, part of the larger FedEx corporation, has announced the opening of its new facility in south-eastern Victoria as the company looks to support the growing express freight demand in the region.

The new FedEx Express facility is based in Morwell and is designed to help support small and medium sized businesses in the Gippsland region.

FedEx says regional Victoria accounts for 22 per cent of small businesses in Victoria, with the logistics giant seeing Gippsland as one area that has increased in small businesses in the past year, making its new site a crucial touch point for connecting around the country.

FedEx Express’ new facility spans more than 4,987 square metres and comes equipped with an advanced automated sortation system that can

sort up to 1,400 packages per hour.

Strategically located near the highway, it also provides accessibility for express pick-up and delivery services to homes and businesses in Traralgon, Leongatha, Sale, Morwell, Moe, Maffra, Yarram, Warragul and the Drouin regions.

FedEx Express Australasian vice president Peter Langley says the new site will serve as a domestic and international collection point to provide comprehensive logistics solutions for local businesses.

“FedEx has been continuously strengthening its operational capabilities and innovating its products and services to help local businesses navigate the complex supply chain landscape in Australia,” Langley says.

“With our wide and deep domestic network within Australia, we support business owners to access their local,

regional and national consumers.

“By leveraging new facilities such as our new Morwell station and expanding regional capacity, we enable Australian businesses to move freight in a faster and more efficient manner to people and businesses across the country, no matter where they’re located.”

The new site fulfils FedEx’s global goal of achieving carbon neutral operations by 2040, coming equipped with multi-faceted sustainable building features to reduce impact on the environment.

It also features LED lighting while rainwater is collected and reused on site.

FedEx says it will continue to invest in Australia via new facilities, such as the newly opened one in Morwell, to support local businesses in accessing domestic and international markets in a fast and efficient way.

Family matters at FedEx Inspired by their father’s work in transport from a young age, two brothers have followed in his footsteps – literally! Alex Catalano writes Dad Brenton and sons Brad and Lachlan all work together at FedEx in Adelaide, albeit in different teams.

Brenton has been a stalwart of the company for nearly 30 years, starting his first position at FedEx in 1987 as a service equipment delivery driver.

Now a pick up and delivery and fleet manager, Brenton has watched his boys grow up and follow in his footsteps, first as dockhands before moving into driving as well.

It was a dream that was sparked from Brad and Lachlan’s childhood days spent doing the regular delivery runs when school was out.

“I used to do a delivery run to the shopping centre, and their mother used to bring them down and I would take them with me while their

mother had a bit of kid-free time,” Brenton tells ATN. “All the customers thought it was great, the kids were riding along on the trolley as I pulled it through the shopping centre. They used to get on the truck and help me. The kids loved it. It was very welcoming.”

Brad’s formative memories are full of recollections of being around trucks and transport. While he loved his sport, and still does, seeing Brenton’s day-to-day rituals in action couldn’t help but inspire a young, impressionable mind.

Pizza on a Friday in dad’s office was certainly enticing, but the working environment and culture at FedEx was even more so.

“I remember spending time with

Father Brenton (C) couldn’t be prouder of sons Lachlan (L) and Brad (R) and the work they all do for FedEx

him on school holidays, being in the depot or the lunchroom and just talking to people and meeting people,” Brad says.

“I’ve been around it from a young age, so all I wanted to do as a youngster was drive trucks.”

Brad and Lachlan are both driving now, inspired by their father’s work.

While the amount of work talk that travels home with them isn’t their mother’s cup of tea, it keeps their bond strong.

The three have also shared many sporting memories over the years,

which Brenton counts among his favourite moments with his boys.

“They’re all big football nuts,” Brenton laughs.

“Myself and Brad go to Bathurst every year to watch the V8s. Lachlan is big into volleyball. They’re very sporty kids.”

Father’s Day this year was once again the familiar tradition of the mad dash from oval to oval as Brenton’s children compete in their footy finals – it’s become a September habit for the sports mad family.

Aside from the roast dinner and a few shared drinks in the family home, it’s a familiar weekend for the Walter family – as they seem to like.

Besides, Brad says, Brenton doesn’t

ask for much on Father’s Day, not even presents anymore.

“We haven’t really gotten him anything, he’s kind of hard to buy for,” Brad laughs.

A lot has changed for the Walters in those 35 years since Brenton jumped into the cabin of the truck for his first FedEx delivery, the company included. He recalls fondly being handed the keys, his freight and an address and being sent on his way.

But as the industry has developed, Brenton explains, the company has too, and is a big reason why he’s stayed with FedEx for as long as he has.

“These days, from my point of view with a new driver, we give them

intensive training, all the support needed, continual training,” Brenton says.

“Now it’s maybe a four-week process before we let them go out on their own to experience the world.

“We try and give them the best equipment and tools to do the job properly so that when they’re out there representing the company, they can make the person’s experience a fantastic one.

“I enjoy coming to work and the challenges, it’s always different. The only thing constant in transport in change. No days are ever the same, it keeps me interested.

“I’ve been here for 35 years and I think I’ll be here until I retire.”

MUA slams shipping cartels The MUA is calling for ACCC intervention on ‘shipping cartels’ extracting maximum profit from Australian ports The Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) has raised concerns with ‘shipping cartels’ that are combining to extract maximum profit from Australian ports.

Amid a cost of living problem, the MUA says international freight companies are implementing further conglomerations of shipping lines into and out of Australia in order to sustain historically high international freight prices.

The MUA says this manipulation of shipping line capacity and scheduling will hurt consumers and businesses, as well as Australian port workers caught between powerful international shipping companies and “the failures of state government port privatisation that has delivered a fragmented container terminal sector at major Australian trading ports”.

For example, the MUA says Israeli shipping line Zim has recently agreed with Swiss shipping company MSC to pull 10 existing vessels out of the Australasian trade to join a Vessel Sharing Agreement with MSC. “This is a prime example of persistent market failure in Australia’s supply chains, with Australian workers once again bearing the brunt of international cartel conduct on our coast and on our waterfront,”

MUA national secretary and federal government strategic fleet shipping taskforce member Paddy Crumlin says.

Crumlin says this will do more than just strip further competition and capacity from the shipping liner market, as it will also punish wharfies employed at neighbouring terminals.

“Wharfies deserve long term, secure employment and consistent shifts and rosters around which they can build a life, but the manipulation of shipping capacity and timetables by a cartel of ship owners and managers risks throwing their lives into disarray as the terminal operators, who employ large workforces and maintain significant capital equipment, are forced to play catch-up,” MUA deputy secretary Warren Smith says.

“Multiple terminal operators work side by side ostensibly in competition with one another, but obsessed instead with attacking their workforce because there is little to differentiate them to their clients, the shipping cartels.”

The MUA has been campaigning for reform of the Australian Competition and Consumer Act to remove the exemption that allows international shipping companies to engage in cartel conduct.

“During COVID, this cartel behaviour took the form of rampant price gouging and scheduling and vessel allocation manipulations that created a false scarcity amidst the global pandemic,” Crumlin says.

“Now, they’re slashing sailings, combining fleets and leaving a massive vacuum behind to exert pressure once again on Australia’s supply chains and working people.”

The MUA says it has repeatedly drawn the attention of government, industry, small business and the community to the economic, social and sovereign risks associated with international shipping companies’ systematic abuse of our position at the far end of global supply chains.

The MUA has written repeatedly to the ACCC raising these concerns, especially with Part X of the Competition and Consumer Act 2010 which permits cartel conduct in Australia by international shipping companies.

The MUA says its proposed legislative amendments would strengthen compliance with industry service standards and force international container shipping companies to meet community expectations for supply chain security and eliminate blatant profiteering.

Transurban hits auto Toll-road operator Transurban is using Silicon Valley autonomous truck experience to develop its trial program Toll-road operator Transurban has developed its autonomous truck ambitions after announcing a partnership with global Silicon Valley-based autonomous driving software company Plus.

The partnership is aimed at advancing Transurban’s automated freight program and to take advantage of the resources and talent available in Victoria.

Transurban says the partnership will build on the success of Transurban’s first self-driving truck trial on CityLink and the Monash Freeway last year to explore how Plus’s Level 4 autonomous driving technology, combined with smart road infrastructure, could help make trucking safer, more efficient and more sustainable in Australia.

Transurban aims to use Plus’s knowledge to leverage itself to be an international leader in the automated truck space from Victoria.

Transurban’s automated vehicle program started in 2017, with the toll operator working with governments and industry to roll out 11 successful

trials of fully and partially automated vehicles on Australian and American motorways.

The CityLink trial last year was the first time in Australia that a highly automated self-driving truck was tested in live traffic conditions on public motorways.

Transurban CEO Scott Charlton says the partnership will support long-term opportunities for automated freight, including potential benefits to reduce congestion and improve road safety and traffic flow.

“This is a continuation of our work in this area,” Charlton says.

“Automated transport technologies are going to transform the way we move goods around cities and with vital connections between ports and other freight hubs, our roads offer ideal conditions to facilitate this new technology.”

The partnership between Transurban and Plus will leverage Plus’ state-of-the-art autonomous driving software and global commercial deployment experience,

which includes the cooperation with IVECO, the global commercial vehicle brand of Iveco Group, to co-develop self-driving trucks for Europe.

Highly automated trucks enabled

by Plus’ technology are already delivering freight in the U.S. for world-class fleets and being tested on public roads in Germany with IVECO. “At Plus, we have seen first-hand through our global deployments the transformational impact that our autonomous driving solutions can have on transportation to improve safety, efficiency and sustainability,” Plus COO and co-founder Shawn Kerrigan says.

“We are delighted to partner with Transurban to drive autonomous trucking development in Australia to the next level, and show the benefits in road safety and operational efficiency delivered by a collaboration between the world’s most advanced autonomous driving software and smart infrastructure provider.”

Tracking empty container parks The Victorian government has created an Empty Container Park report The Victorian state government says it is working with the freight and logistics industry to cut costs and improve supply chain efficiencies with the release of the Empty Container Park trial report.

The report showed operating cost savings from paperless and contactless truck arrivals at empty container parks (ECPs), in addition to other benefits such as increased daily truck cycles, improved driver safety and lower emissions.

A reduction in truck-turnaround times of about six minutes translates to an operating cost saving of approximately $13.50 per truck, or an annual operating cost saving of approximately $5.75 million for

the Victorian container transport industry as a whole.

The report found moving from low to medium or high automation at an ECP can boost peak truck turnaround time by a massive 32 per cent with similar off-peak time savings.

“The Empty Container Park trial report is a shining example of the collaboration between our government and critical industry leaders to maintain and progress Victoria’s freight advantage,” Victorian ports and freight minister Melissa Horne says.

“Outcomes of the Container Storage Working Group and the ECP Trial have led to the development

New A-double for Linfox Logistics giant Linfox has unveiled what it claims is an Australian first in its latest Volvo truck Logistics and transport giant Linfox has announced it has received a new milestone for Australian trucking.

As part of the release, the Linfox Intermodal sector revealed the new A-double model recently following a

of new performance indicators which will provide greater visibility of the performance of the Port of Melbourne supply chain.”

In early 2022, Freight Victoria established the Container Storage Working Group to address the buildup of full containers in the Port of Melbourne supply chain, recognising the interface between transport operators and empty container parks as a key impediment to efficiency.

Partnering with industry stakeholders, stevedores, transport operators and peak bodies including the Container Transport Alliance Australia (CTAA), the trial established performance indicators for empty containers and evaluated streamlined processes for truck arrivals.

Freight Victoria has now developed a performance measure for truck turnaround times which is included in the latest Voluntary Performance Monitoring Framework dashboard report.

The Department of Transport and Planning will continue to collaborate with industry to develop further performance indicators for the empty container supply chain, with empty container park operators to implement further, including slot availability and other indicators.

year-long design and build process.

The Volvo A-double has since run its first trip between Melbourne and Sydney, with two 48-foot containers resulting in a length of 36 metres.

“The new configuration allows us to transport more palletised stock for our customers, providing us more opportunities and options to support our communities during unexpected road and rail outages,” Linfox says in an online statement.

Sydney rest area scoping The NSW government is narrowing down possibilities for a new rest area in western Sydney The NSW government has announced that it has started working on building a heavy vehicle rest area in Sydney for truck drivers to rest, park, shower and access services.

Currently there are very limited rest areas that are fit for purpose for truck drivers between Pheasants Nest to the south of Sydney and Wyong to the north – a distance of 180 kilometres and nearly two hours driving.

There are other minor rest areas that provide single direction opportunity to stop but have limited facilities, including some with no toilet and wash facilities or capacity to host larger trucks.

This means truck drivers need to take significant detours off the motorways in order to take a break. The NSW government is calling for feedback from the freight industry and truck drivers to inform the development of the new proposed rest area for Western Sydney.

This area will provide heavy vehicle drivers with a safe and accessible area to rest as part of their journey.

The NSW government says roads are the workplace for heavy vehicle drivers and rest areas are important facilities that support driver wellbeing and compliance with mandatory rest breaks.

Options for a rest area are being considered across six local government areas: Blacktown City, Penrith City, Fairfield City, Liverpool City, Camden and Campbelltown City.

Transport for NSW will be engaging with the road freight industry and heavy vehicle drivers, including the potential location, services and facilities, as well as consideration of oversize and dangerous goods requirements.

Heavy vehicle drivers and the road freight industry are invited to participate in an online survey to provide their insights and advice.

The NSW Legislative Council Transport and Arts Committee has also commenced a Parliamentary Inquiry into pressures on heavy vehicle drivers. The inquiry will explicitly consider how these pressures impact on the use of rest areas and other fatigue management practices.

NSW inquiry into driver pressures A NSW parliamentary committee is calling on drivers to have their say on what pressures are causing overheight truck incidents in the state NSW Parliament has announced that an Upper House inquiry has been established into the pressures on heavy vehicle drivers and their impact in NSW. The inquiry will examine the extent, nature and impact of pressures on heavy vehicle driver practice and how regulatory obligations are observed.

Chair of Portfolio Committee Transport and the Arts Cate Faehrmann says the inquiry will focus on investigating how these pressures contribute to over height vehicle incidents and the use of rest areas and other fatigue management practices.

“The committee is also interested in exploring the impact, effectiveness and enforcement of current mechanisms to address

the pressures on heavy vehicle drivers, including training and education requirements, penalties for over height vehicle incidents and the availability, suitability and accessibility of heavy vehicle rest areas in metropolitan Sydney and rural and regional New South Wales,” Faehrmann says.

“In addition, the committee will consider the capability for new and emerging technologies to assist in reducing pressures for heavy vehicle drivers.”

The committee welcomes submissions from heavy vehicle drivers, other interested stakeholders and members of the community.

The best way of contact is to email portfoliocommittee6@parliament. nsw.gov.au

The Gratton

The more the merrier for Volvo’s heavy-duty EVs The president of a major vehicle manufacturer says changing industry regulations will unlock the path to net zero emissions The Volvo Group is extremely proud of its first battery electric zero emissions emergency services vehicle that the ACT Emergency Services Agency (ESA) took delivery of in August with the expectation it will go into operation in early 2024.

But Volvo Group Australia president and CEO Martin Merrick believes we could be seeing even more of these battery electric vehicles (BEVs) if key legislation is changed to accommodate the growing demand in the transport industry.

The vehicle manufacturer has partnered with the ACT ESA to deliver the BEV, and the pair have the lofty goal of turning the ESA’s fleet 30 per cent electric.

While there isn’t yet a specific timeline on that goal, Merrick says the changing of key laws relating to the front axle load of electric vehicles could see Volvo and other manufacturers’ production numbers of BEVs rise.

“We’ve urged government at all

levels, business and academia to come together and find a solution to change legislation quickly so that we can accelerate the adoption rate,” Merrick tells ATN. “We anticipate that 30 per cent of vehicles and machines will be true electric by 2030. That’s seven years from now, so there’s work to be done with legislation in Australia so we’re not lagging behind the rest of the world, and particularly Europe.

“We see a major opportunity in the demand from customers to have these vehicles running, particularly in urban areas where you may have just a prime mover and a heavy trailer. There’s a market there between the medium-duty and heavy-duty.

“We would like to see that legislation changed as quickly as possible.”

Current regulations outline a 6.5 tonne limit on a truck’s front axle, where Volvo would like to see this pushed up to 7.5 tonnes to allow for a higher production of heavy-duty

BEVs. The FL Electric set to be used by the ACT ESA is a medium-duty vehicle, a two-axle model with a range of up to 450km on a single charge.

In addition to the ACT ESA, Volvo also saw an order of 36 medium-duty FL Electrics to Team Global Express, a freight and transport services provider. It was the single largest order of medium-duty BEVs Volvo has had yet.

Volvo is also currently the only original equipment manufacturer (OEM) with series production of heavy-duty BEVs in Australia, due in big part to the current regulations and legislation.

The support of organisations like these, Merrick believes, indicates that the demand for larger BEVs is growing.

“For the medium-duty range, we see the adoption rate picking up very quickly,” Merrick says.

“If we look across the industry, we’ve been running two similar vehicles now across Melbourne with

Linfox for two and a half years now.

They’re proved very successful. We know the vehicles can do the job, the drivers and companies really appreciate the vehicles.”

The ACT ESA and Volvo first partnered in July 2022, where they signed a contract establishing the processes they would take towards their shared visions of transport decarbonisation and net zero emissions.

The contract promised the delivery of seven emergency service BEVs to be used by the ESA in their emergency operations. This was in addition to the $13 million funding provided for the ESA’s vehicle replacement program.

Merrick says the partnership between the two organisations has grown over the last year.

“We have a very strong partnership with the ACT ESA, and we see that strengthening and building going forward,” Merrick says.

“Minister Mick Gentleman and the team there are strong advocates for legislation change, not just for the ACT, but also for the greater good of Australia overall.

“We work together and strengthen that partnership. We can see the benefit for all of Australia, not just the ACT. “The partnership that we announced with the ACT ESA in July 2022, this is the first vehicle that delivered on that.”

While the delivery of the emergency service BEVs will go a long way towards both organisations’ goals, there are other ways that the Volvo Group will continue to pursue their net zero emissions goals.

“We know that battery electric vehicles will not be the only solution.

From a Volvo Group perspective, we see a blend of technologies,” Merrick says.

“The internal combustion engine will be with us for many years to come. Renewable fuel such as

HVO with near zero emissions, that combination will certainly support us to getting to net zero.

“But having zero emission vehicles will make it so much easier to achieve these ambitious targets. One that the ACT government have is net zero by 2045 and Volvo Group by 2040.

“The delivery of the FL Electric is a really significant milestone overall for the transformation towards net a zero future and also decarbonising the transport industry.

“Transport accounts for 19 per cent of Australia’s carbon emissions. Up to eight per cent of that is from road vehicles.

“If we can have emergency services feeling that they can utilise battery electric emergency services vehicles, that sends a great message to the industry overall.”

From L-R Volvo Group’s Martin Merrick, ACT Minister for Police and Emergency Services Mick Gentleman, ACT Fire and Rescue chief officer Matthew Mavity and Deputy Head of Mission at the Embassy of Sweden Per Linnër.

Penske buys big repairer Total Fleet Maintenance is now a part of the Penske empire Queensland truck distributor Penske Australia has announced its acquisition of truck repair company Total Fleet Maintenance (TFM) as it continues the expansion of its business across the state’s south-east.

With the new ownership effective immediately on September 1, the Yatala facility becomes Penske’s third retail location in Queensland.

This will give greater coverage to its truck manufacturers including Western Star Trucks, MAN Truck & Bus, Dennis Eagle, Detroit and Allison Transmission.

Penske Australia general manager of eastern operations John Delany welcomes the acquisition of the facility and a new set of workers into the company.

“In addition to our Wacol and Lytton facilities in Brisbane, our increasing on-highway customer base in south-east Queensland gave us an opportunity to expand our service network through TFM, which has a fantastic reputation in the area and brings skill and expertise to our network,” Delany says.

“We’re now able to cover the two largest regions in Queensland being Brisbane, including the port, and the Gold Coast.”

The newly acquired Yatala facility includes 21 workshop bays, brake and suspension testing capabilities, a heavy-vehicle inspection station and air conditioning re-gas services across the 2000sqm workshop.

TFM has been in service for 16 years, providing automotive repairs across Brisbane, Ipswich and the Gold Coast.

“As the 20-strong TFM workforce transitions into a Penske Australia location, led by branch manager Carl Landridge and assisted by Mark Parcell and Damon Hogg, the team will continue to provide the same service excellence that existing customers have come to expect,” Delany says.

“This will be further backed by Penske Australia’s ‘customer first’ philosophy, our streamlined systems and processes, and our extensive national parts capability that is underpinned by our world-class Penske distribution centre, located in Wacol.

“As we’ve done recently with Lytton and now in Yatala, Penske will continue to invest in our branch network to ensure we are located where our customers need us and to ensure that our facilities are equipped with the highestperforming equipment and tooling.

“Over the coming months, the TFM branch will be upgraded and rebranded to Penske Australia Yatala.”

Hino rolls into Toowoomba Continuing on from a successful venture in 2022, Hino’s national roadshow has made its latest stop The Hino national roadshow has pulled into Toowoomba, as the truck manufacturer continues its grand tour across Australia.

Travelling more than 130,000km across the country across 2022 and 2023, the convoy has been showcasing several Hino vehicles to interested residents from bustling cities to small, rural towns.

The Toowoomba stop of the show was Hino’s biggest yet, being one of the largest undertakings between the manufacturer and its dealers.

Chris Swain, group general manager of the Wideland Group says the company was able to demonstrate the range that Hino can provide.

“The concept of the Hino Roadshow is fantastic – we showcased vehicles from across the Hino range, with a particular focus on the heavy-duty 700 Series range, and the innovative 300 Series Hybrid Electric light-duty truck,” Swain says.

“The entire model line-up has received significant enhancements over the past five years, so it is a terrific opportunity for our customers to be able to compare a selection of award-winning trucks.

“This was also an opportunity for

us to showcase/officially open our new workshop, which has more than doubled in size, and includes new detailing and wash-down facilities.”

The event offered a little bit of everything for customers, with a free sausage sizzle, pizza and live entertainment some of the additions to the show.

2023’s edition of the roadshow is set to conclude in January in Canberra, but there’s plenty of ground to cover before it reaches the nation’s capital, according to Hino Australia vice president of brand and franchise development Richard Emery.

“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,” Emery says.

“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.”

Foton’s big battery warranty Australian heavy vehicle distributor Foton is promising a greater return from the batteries powering its electric vehicles Foton Mobility Distribution is making strides in the electric vehicle (EV) space, announcing an extended battery warranty for its T5 EV all-electric trucks.

New purchasers of the T5 in the Australian market will receive an eight-year/300,000km power battery warranty for their truck in a big leap forward for EV lifespans.

The average car manufacturer typically guarantees EV batteries at an eight-year/160,000-200,000km warranty, which Foton is promising to increase substantially.

Current industry standards dictate that any defective EV battery under this eight-year/160,000km warranty are covered for repair or replacement.

Foton general manager of light duty vehicles Bill Gillespie says the company is happy to be offering

advancements in EV technology.

“We are particularly proud of the Foton T5 EV, which has quickly taken a decisive sales lead in the all-electric light truck space,” Gillespie says.

“Around the world, Foton dominates the alternate fuels space with over 22,000 units produced last year alone, and with this worldwide expertise, we can stand by our products with this extended power battery warranty.

“Looking at the EV market here in Australia, this offering easily exceeds any other similar support available, allowing Foton owners to be sure they are investing in high-quality, yet affordable technology.

“Furthermore, the trucks are backed by a nationwide dealer network from Cairns to Perth, and are supported by 24/7 roadside assistance, as provided by industry leader NTI Truck Assist.”

The Foton T5 EVs batteries utilise DC fast charging, allowing for a full charge in 1.5 hours. They can also use the standard 11kW AC onboard charger, which can fully recharge the battery in 7.2 hours.

The T5 has a 3500kg braked towing capacity, which rates on the higher end for EVs, making it usable for several functions across fleets.

Another strength of the T5 is its flexibility, with the model available with a rated GVM of 4,500kg for car licence operation, or 6,000kg for light rigid licenced drivers, with either option allowing for towing.

Outside of the T5, Foton offers a range of other sustainable vehicles including an electric and hydrogen city bus. The Eurise D11 electric van is also set to launch in Australia this year.

A new home for IVECO’s final Euro 5 ACCO IVECO is looking to the future as it honours its past, ushering in a new ACCO model while donating its final Euro 5 for posterity As IVECO welcomes in a new generation of its ACCO models, the company has found a home for the final Euro 5 truck at the National Road Transport Museum in Alice Springs.

The last of its kind manufactured locally, it will sit proudly as a reminder of the evolution of IVECO’s trucks and the role they play in the Australian road transport industry.

The new addition is now a key attraction in the Australian Festival of Transport, kicking off at the Museum from August 24 to 27.

Road Transport Historical Society Inc. CEO Nick Prus welcomes a piece of road transport history into the Museum’s halls.

“We’re very happy and grateful that IVECO considered us for this donation,” Prus says.

“As an exhibit, the last locally manufactured Euro 5 ACCO aligns very well with the goals of the museum; to preserve the heritage of the local road transport industry. The ACCO will be on permanent display in the ‘Trucks in Action’ venue, which showcases the diversity of vehicles that were built in Australia.”

The donation marks a changing of the guard of sorts, as an all-new ACCO

is set to become available in Australia in the coming months.

IVECO ANZ managing director Michael May reflects on the history of the model and its significance to his company’s history.

“In the late 1960s through to the early 2000s, the ACCO played a massive role in Australia and New Zealand, being the truck of choice for a great many applications including general freight, linehaul, emergency service work and vocational duties including waste collection and agitator work,” May says.

“At the end of 2019, IVECO celebrated the delivery of the

90,000th ACCO, a testament to the overall success of the model, so the truck’s inclusion within the National Road Transport Museum is deserved and well earned.

“And while it may mark the end of an era, we very much look forward to what the future holds with the imminent release of all-new ACCO.” The newest ACCO model takes from the history of the previous trucks while looking ahead to the future.

New additions include the latest active and passive safety features, fuel efficient engines that meet Euro 6 (Step E) emission standards and more comfortable cabins.

impressive the most

E

xpectations, assumptions, presumptions, predictions. Whatever, they’re all fraught with danger and let’s face it, we’ve all been there.

Sometimes, the thing you expect to be wonderful can turn out to be something not quite so captivating. Not necessarily woeful but not altogether appealing either. Simply, not up to expectations.

Other times, when you’re not overly excited or enthralled by the thought of spending time with something or other, the experience can surprise for all the right reasons. Hurtling hard and fast into those ‘other times’ was a recent run in Iveco’s new S-Way.

Still, it’s easy to admit that expectations weren’t bubbling at all brightly in the days before taking an S-Way B-double combination on a day-long drive down the Hume and back.

In defence though, the negative vibe wasn’t unwarranted. Iveco experiences over several decades hadn’t been particularly kind up to that point, going way back to the lameness of early models like EuroStar and EuroTech and reaching all the way to the recently retired X-Way. Expectations, even hopes, have almost always been shown to be greater than realities and historically, Iveco Australia’s heavy-duty sales figures tell a story of mediocre acceptance in a market

Flagship of the S-Way range, the high-roof AS is exceptionally well appointed and marks a peak in Iveco’s heavy-duty evolution

bristling with high quality competitors.

Now, of course, there’s S-Way but with history barking in the background, early indicators weren’t doing much to light the fires of hope and renewal for Iveco’s heavyduty future. In fact, on a grey March day at the Australian Automotive Research Centre’s Anglesea (Vic) proving ground, the official launch and first drive of S-Way models didn’t do much at all to signal an upward shift in Iveco’s heavy-duty prospects.

Sure, company insiders were upbeat and Iveco Australia chief Michael May, buoyant in defining a new era for the company since securing the $95 million sale of the historic Dandenong (Vic) production plant,

announced S-Way as the motivation to “… reignite our network and our customers.”

However, Michael and his executive team didn’t stay long, apparently committed to being somewhere else while out on Anglesea’s familiar circuits, various S-Way configurations which had notched up reasonable mileage on shake-down duty, did their obligatory laps as invited media took turns sampling the new model’s manners.

All routine and all predictably normal for a media drive day but hardly the stuff to reignite expectations of Iveco moving to a higher plane on the heavy-duty table.

Worse, a close look at a couple of early production models on static display prompted thoughts that Iveco Australia will need to keep an owlish eye on the build quality and paintwork of trucks emerging from Iveco’s Madrid (Spain) production plant.

So, fast forward five months or so to a mid-week morning at Iveco’s Huntingwood dealership on Sydney’s western rim and as already mentioned, expectations weren’t particularly high. Sure, the dealership had the demo truck and its B-double set spic ‘n’ span (which was in itself a notable improvement on some earlier experiences) with several Iveco operatives on hand to explain the flagship AS (Active Space) model’s finer features, not least a plethora of advanced telematics functions.

But of course, any estimation of a truck’s performance and operational traits comes down to time on the road and here’s the thing; just an hour or so after steering the combination out of Huntingwood and mixing with the motoring masses before striking down the Hume to Goulburn, there came the earnest yet genuinely unexpected realisation that this unit was, without question or hesitation, the most impressive and subsequently surprising Iveco truck I’ve ever driven. Bar none!

Overall, such evaluations are simply a snapshot – but they do, at the very least, provide an indication of a model’s abilities in real world conditions and in this case, S-Way did everything right while equally highlighting vital improvements in fit and finish. In fact, concerns about build quality generated by static display units at Anglesea several months earlier simply weren’t applicable in what was an exceptionally well-presented test truck. And the hope, of course, is that all S-Way deliveries will be to the same standard.

Obviously enough, the high-roof AS model sits at the top of the S-Way range and as we reported some months back, ‘S-Way’s most apparent feature is unquestionably the redesigned cab with its striking, almost smiling, grille and new panel treatments. It is, in effect, a reworked design over an existing cab structure but further ahead, according to sources within Iveco, an entirely new cab and model range are under development in preparation for a European debut in two to three years.

‘Yet while S-Way may be the final evolution of Iveco’s current heavy-duty lineage, it is certainly not without the modern updates which take it a step above its X-Way predecessor.’ Way above, in fact.

There was, to put it plainly, a quality about the S-Way test truck well beyond its predecessors.

Sure, most linehaul drivers would probably appreciate a bigger bunk but that aside and with the advantage of a lower floor height, S-Way’s AS shed contains all the essential ingredients of a spacious, modern linehaul cab: Tall standing room, excellent seating for driver and passenger, extensive overhead and external locker space, good all-round vision, neatly arranged controls and switchgear, and driver niceties such as twin 50 litre fridges (one a cool box, the other a fridge\freezer) and a comprehensive multi-media unit based on a seven-inch LCD screen on a central fascia. What’s more, in place of a key, ignition is now controlled by a stop\start button on a neater and more functional dash layout while the driver sits behind a new multi-function steering wheel which provides finger-tip control of many functions.

In short, there’s a lot to like and the standard features list is easily on par with its continental contemporaries, including a typically European swag of advanced safety functions along with such modern-

day developments as GPS predictive drive, adaptive cruise control, LED headlights with cornering fog lights and a top-shelf climate control system.

Still, in many of the control systems and functions, S-Way also retains Iveco’s unique form of logic. It takes considerable time to forge familiarity with the operation of some systems and in a markedly expanded telematics program. It would take far more than one day behind the wheel to assess the system’s operational attributes. As Iveco rightly insists though, telematics play an increasingly powerful role in the operation and administration of modern haulage fleets and as company insiders assert, S-Way’s telematics are as comprehensive as any in the market.

However, the thing that binds all S-Way’s suite of treats together are the levels of detail and an overall standard of finish which, at least in this instance, appear significantly better than previous models.

Again, it’s to be hoped this is the rule rather than the exception. For Iveco’s heavy-duty aspirations, much depends on it.

Notably, as the wordage on the cab highlighted, Iveco is also making a major point of its Cursor engines’ compliance with what’s known as the Euro 6 ‘Step E’ emissions requirement.

Simply explained, ‘Step E’ includes cold starts in the emissions measurement process, making it Europe’s toughest standard for diesel engines, but why Iveco Australia would choose to promote this somewhat obscure point so vividly is even more obscure. More importantly perhaps, Iveco points out this revised crop of Cursors is fully compatible with the latest generation of biofuels.

Similarly, as the company explained at Anglesea earlier in the year, all Cursor engines in the S-Way range – 9, 11 and 13 litre – use its patented Hi-eSCR emissions control technology. With no EGR input, Hi-eSCR is described as a single after-treatment system featuring a passive DPF (diesel particulate filter) which does not require driver intervention for DPF regeneration.

As for AdBlue consumption in the SCRonly system, Iveco product manager Emilio Foieri reports, “Between seven and eight percent of fuel consumption.”

Fortunately, diesel consumption of the B-double demonstrator proved to be exceptionally good.

A completely revised interior comes with many worthwhile features. Cab comfort was first-rate in the spacious high-roof AS top-of-the-line model. Even so, some functions seem quirky and familiarity takes time

to S-Way’s maximum gross combination mass (GCM) of 70 tonnes, power obviously comes from the biggest engine in the range, the 12.9 litre Cursor 13 offered in two ratings – a standard setting of 530hp (387kW) at 1700rpm with 2400Nm (1770lb-ft) of torque at 950rpm, and an optional 550hp (410kW) version with peak power at 1600rpm and 2500Nm (1844lb-ft) of torque at 1000rpm.

In prime mover layout, there are four wheelbases from 3200 to 3300, 3500 and 3650mm, with the test unit built on the shortest length.

For B-double duties, the test truck ran the higher engine rating coupled with the model’s standard shifter, the supremely smooth and highly intuitive ZF Hi-Tronix 16-speeder. In the AS, the automated box uses a direct-drive top gear running into a standard rear axle ratio of 3.09:1 (a 3.4:1 ratio is also available) to deliver 100km/h at the engine’s peak power point of 1600rpm.

Meantime, with the front and rear of the cab mounted on airbags and underneath, a suspension system with parabolic leaf springs up front and an eight-bag

electronically controlled air suspension at the rear, S-Way’s ride and road manners were exceptionally good. In fact, overall handling, road manners and cab comfort during the day-long exercise were at the very least equal to the best in the business and the first indication that the S-Way AS offers something special in Iveco’s linehaul lineage.

In performance terms, this latest evolution of the long-serving Cursor 13 may well have the potential to subdue the engine’s somewhat checkered reputation with some sections of the Australian market. Certainly, in this evaluation, and with the obvious support of a transmission completely in tune with the engine’s traits and abilities, Cursor was both impressively responsive and when it counted most, surprisingly gritty.

On the deceptive drag up Skyline, for instance, the combination comfortably held 12th gear with the tacho dropping no lower than 1500rpm.

Admittedly, cynics might suggest the test unit’s gross weight of 55 tonnes was perhaps on the light side for a B-double but then again, it’d be just as easy to suggest

S-Way certainly doesn’t lack competition and Iveco won’t find it easy making up ground on quality competition

Iveco is pushing S-Way’s compliance with Europe’s Euro VI ‘Step E’ emissions regulation. It probably won’t mean much to Australian operators but modest fuel capacity of 1010 litres probably will. Even so, road test fuel consumption was most impressive

107

DOW 497-100 ND Iveco S-Way.indd 107

14/9/2023 1:23 pm

that most linehaul B-doubles run at weights considerably less than maximum GCM anyway.

Whatever the cynics might say though, S-Way’s fuel return of 1.95km/litre (5.5mpg) was stunningly good. It’s worth noting though, fuel capacity for linehaul duties is marginal at 1010 litres (630 litres right tank, 380 litres left tank) with an 80 litre AdBlue tank.

Yet for no one reason but rather, a collection of evolutionary refinements,

Iveco’s S-Way flagship was impressively surprising. Or maybe, surprisingly impressive. Either way, this was a truck that blew perceptions and expectations out the exhaust.

Moreover, there’s a lot more to S-Way than the details mentioned here. Like, standard auxiliary braking in all S-Way models is a three-stage engine brake but Cursor 13 variants have the added bonus of ZF’s highly effective Intarder hydraulic retarder as standard equipment.

There’s one function, however, unlikely to win too many accolades from drivers. It’s called Eco-Switch, allowing a swap from the transmission’s normal fully automated operation to an ‘Eco-Fleet’ manual mode for 60 seconds if, as Iveco explains, ‘traffic or road conditions temporarily require the driver to manually override the auto mode.’ But Eco-Fleet also cuts engine power and torque, so it’s hard to see most drivers willingly making the swap.

All up, S-Way won’t be all things to all

people, a fact acknowledged by Iveco insiders. Asked, for example, if the absence of a bigger bore engine than Cursor 13 is a drawback to Iveco’s bid for stronger heavyduty sales figures, a forthright Michael May said simply, “Sure, a 15 or 16 litre would be nice, but we can only concentrate on what we have.”

True, but what S-Way gives Iveco more than anything else is a truck with evolution on its side and accordingly, the distinct potential to build a better business.

ge is something that doesn’t matter... unless you are a cheese!” – Billie Burke.

Yes, that is a somewhat random quote to start this story, but you will soon see that it is extremely fitting. Age is an important ingredient in the following story or to be more precise, the fact that age isn’t important is an important ingredient in this story.

I often cover the newest and fanciest trucks on the road – all the shiny bits, all the mod cons. Every now and then, however, I get to focus on a classic truck. Normally a restored truck, one with an interesting history that is now consigned to truck shows and a dustfree storage shed. Not today though, not this particular golden oldie.

Today I will be focussing on a truck that first hit the road when the Beatles were chart toppers, before Walt Disney World was open and well before you could buy your kids a pet rock (I’m serious, in the mid ‘70s a toy company made a fortune by selling pet rocks). Today’s focus will be a 1969 Diamond Reo C-114. A working 1969 Diamond Reo C-114 at that.

But wait, there’s more. The ‘age doesn’t matter quote’ isn’t just tied to the big red Reo that bounces off the pages here. It is also

appropriate when we talk about the owners of this remarkable rig – Norm and Nola Bransgrove or, as you may come to know them, the world’s worst retirees.

Norm is an extremely well-preserved 1949 model and has racked up more kilometres on Australian roads than some small transport companies ever do. His lovely wife Nola has been an advocate for those in the transport industry for several decades now and while she doesn’t have as many kilometres behind the wheel, she has more acknowledgments and awards than anybody I’ve ever met.

These include the first-ever National Australia Trucking Industry Woman of the Year award in 1997, as well as an Order of Australia Medal in 2012. Both of these amazing people have served the transport industry diligently for decades and, like their sparkling Diamond Reo, deserve to have their feet up with a glass of sherry, watching Coronation Street reruns.

Deserved or not, this couple is far from your standard pensioner, that’s why we are here and that’s why I refer to them as the world’s worst retirees. The power couple was scheduled to retire in 2020. It was all planned out, they sold off their trucks, wrapped up their company Branstrans Pty Ltd after

nearly five decades of operation, and began contemplating life as grey nomads. It lasted barely 12 months.

Back in the good old days, when you retired you would waste your days offline, watching TV, doing crosswords, or annoying your partner the old-fashioned way. Nowadays, retirement means more time to play online, with social media and marketplace. This in turn normally results in buying something inappropriate and impractical, such as tea cosies and porcelain figurines maybe. In the case of Norm and Nola, it was this stunning Diamond Reo. However, the ageless truck wasn’t an impulse buy. In fact, the purchase of this truck had massive sentimental reasoning which we will get into shortly.

Most retired truckies would buy a classic like this and either turn it into a motorhome or check the oil every six months before a truck show. Not Norm and Nola though. Once they had put a little bit of time into the 52-year-old truck they promptly put it to work. Retirement be damned. In order to understand why they are so bad at retiring, you first need to understand where Norm’s work ethic has come from.

Early adopter Transport has played a part in Norm’s life since he was knee-high to a grasshopper.

He has been driving now for 69 years. You read that right – 69 years. Some of you are questioning my maths, especially as you glance back and reaffirm the fact Norm is a 49 model. That would mean he was driving from the age of five? That would be correct.

“I grew up on a dairy farm and I used to steer the old Bedford around while dad threw hay off the back,” Norm recalls.

I questioned his ability to even reach the pedals and Norm explained how his dad would start the Bedford off and it would idle around while Norm steered.

“One of the highlights of my career was when Mum came into primary school to tell the teacher it was going to rain, and they needed me to drive the truck,” Norm laughs.

“I was about eight or nine and walked out of school 10 foot tall.”

In those days it wasn’t unusual for kids to leave school as soon as they could and start working. Norm was no exception.

“I left when I was almost 14,” Norm says.

“There were big celebrations at school when I left. I worked on the farm with Dad and my older brother George.”

Two of the loves of Norm’s life: Nola and the Diamond Reo

While a modern-day 14-year-old would struggle to pick a Phillips head screwdriver from a flat head, and hard work is having to make their bed with fitted sheets, Norm grew up in a time when you got up in the morning and worked. When you finished work, the sun was going down and it was time for bed. Rinse, wash and repeat. When Norm did get some downtime, he would often find his way into the passenger seat of one of his uncle’s trucks.

“My grandad was one of the first to cart into the Maryvale paper mill,” Norm explains. “My uncles were also running trucks and I used to go for a ride in their old K5 and K7 Inters.”

Between those early hay delivery experiences and riding along with his uncles, Norm was heavily infected by the driving bug. He could not wait to get his truck licence and get out on the open road. This desire was exasperated by the fact his brother had picked up a local roading contract and wanted Norm to help out by driving his cabover Bedford on the job, all of this occurring around Norm’s 18th birthday.

“I actually went and saw the local copper when I was 18 to ask about getting my truck licence,” Norm smiles, recalling with a smile the response from the cop. “He said to me, ‘didn’t you just get your car licence?’. Then he said, ‘you can’t get your truck licence until you’re 19’.”

Not to be denied, Norm politely asked if there was any way around it. “The cop said, ‘That’s a shitload of paperwork! If you’re only working around the district go and get some experience and come see me when you’re nineteen’.”

That was good enough for Norm. He took the wheel of his brother’s Bedford and started work. He later took the day off on his 19th birthday to call in and see the local copper and make it all official.

From that day onwards Norm was laughing.

He had his truck licence and he was into it. He helped his brother with the roading contract, then when his brother purchased one of his uncle’s pulp carting trucks, Norm jumped behind the wheel of that as well. There was a brief interlude from trucking when the newly married Norm and Nola decided to try the transient life and took their HK and caravan on a working holiday around Australia. But the lure of the truck and birth of their second baby eventually dragged them both back to regional Victoria and the back behind the wheel of a truck.

In 1972 Norm moved from being a truck driver to finally being a truck owner, purchasing his very first truck, a 1972 International Transtar. The opportunity came about courtesy of his employer at the time, his big brother George.

“I was working with my brother when this lime contract came up,” Norm recalls. “My brother said I could either buy the pulp trucks off him, or work for whomever bought the pulp trucks, or I could put my name on one of the five brand new lime trucks that were needed.”

Subsequently Norm and Nola decided to take the leap, and more importantly their life savings, and jump in on the brand new truck idea. That first new purchase would be a massive learning curve for Norm and Nola.

“It was very tight. The only people making money were the accountants that set it up,” Norm says. It was an eye-opening leap into the owner-driver world that could easily have broken the young family. Thankfully it didn’t.

Norm and Nola worked their way through the tough times, learning valuable lessons and showing immense resolve. Over the next few decades the family would go from one Transtar carting lime to a fleet of MercedesBenz trucks carting pulp timber. Those trucks would be surpassed by everything from ACCOs to MANs and even a yard full of fancy Freightliners.

The diversity wasn’t just limited to truck manufacturers though. It also overflowed into

the workload that Norm and Nola undertook, beginning with lime cartage, covering logs, trying their hand at brick cartage, and even specialising in machinery tracts. During Norm’s trucking career there wasn’t much that he didn’t have a go at.

Some of the stories I would love to share are still being evaluated by lawyers. Others, well I know straight up my editor will cull.

But trust me, an afternoon with Norm and Nola is packed with laughs. For now, however, we have established the credentials of BransTrans Trucking, we now need to get onto this stunning Diamond Reo and how it fits into the Bransgrove anthology. Let us first have a little history lesson on the Diamond Reo. The back story Diamond Reo came about when two very old companies Diamond T and Reo combined under the White Motor Corporation back in 1967. The two original identities both began back in the early 1900s.

Diamond T was started by Charles Arthur Tilt in 1905. A random fact: the Diamond T logo was originally used by Tilt’s father, who was a shoemaker. He used the Diamond to represent quality and durability and enclosed the ‘T’ for the family name, Tilt.

Reo was also started in 1905 by Raymond E Olds, the man behind the creation of Oldsmobile in 1897. Another random fact: Reo were the first to break into the pickup truck market in 1915 with the legendary Reo Speed Wagon. For those wondering, yes it was

You don’t get to see this old logo very often. Much less on the current highways around Australia

during a lecture on the history of transport that keyboard player Neil Doughty saw the title on screen and named his rock band REO Speedwagon.

History lesson aside, both companies built some pretty cool trucks, Diamond T being the bigger and more established of the two companies. Reo was the first of the companies absorbed into the White Motor Corporation in the late ’50s. A year later, after the death of C.A. Tilt, Diamond T also became part of the conglomerate.

In 1967 White Motor Company merged the two to form Diamond Reo. In 1971 White sold off Diamond Reo and it became Diamond Reo Trucks Inc. I could go into all the cool trucks that followed after that sale but seeing as all my photos are of a 1969 Diamond Reo, we need to focus on the trucks that were built under the four-year White reign, in particular the C114, because that is the truck that back in 1970 roared past Norm like he was going backwards. That experience left a mark on Norm, a mark that 51 years later would see Norm purchasing the truck himself.

“I was driving a brand new C1950 ACCO with a 185hp V8 Cummins in it,” Norm recalls.

“I could easily round up the Commers, Leylands and Bedfords but Jack’s Diamond Reo was next level!”

The Jack he is referring to is Jack Caldow, the original owner of the Diamond Reo. Jack and his wife Margaret lived in Trafalgar at that stage and the Reo was used to cart veneer logs from around Orbost in Victoria’s East Gippsland to Melbourne.

Having his doors blown off as the Reo roared passed left a mark with Norm. “I think Jack and his Diamond took on a bit of a hero status for me after that day,” he says. “I wouldn’t say we were mates as such, but we were always welcomed in for a cuppa and truck talk when we were passing their place in Trafalgar.” Even after Jack and Margaret moved up to Queensland, Norm would make the effort to call in and talk trucks whenever he could.

The Diamond Reo was part of the Caldow family for nearly 40 years. It was only after the tragic death of Jack in a car accident in 2006 that the truck was sold to Malady Transport in Jack’s hometown of Trafalgar. Norm admits it caused some mixed emotions with him.

“It was harsh reminder that Jack was no

119

longer with us, but I was also delighted that Terry Malady had brought it back to Trafalgar,” Norm says. He also admitted that he was disappointed he hadn’t had the forethought or money to be able to do it himself.

Digging for diamonds Jump forward to 2020 and Norm has driven everywhere, carting everything, behind the wheel of every breed. Nola has spent years advocating for the transport industry and implemented numerous systems in the name of driver safety. The couple have earned their retirement.

The first stop on the retirement road for Norm? “I went on Facebook, like I’d been threatening to do,” he laughs.

The original intention had merely been to keep up with family and maybe the odd motor bike and truck page. The unintended consequence was it also brought him back in contact with Jack’s Diamond Reo. The truck had been sold by Malady’s and had left Gippsland, but in 2021 thanks to the magic of Facebook Marketplace, Norm was the first cab off the rank when the truck came up for sale again. “I got a message from my son Michael

about the truck being for sale,” Norm explains.

“I showed Nola the post and her immediate response was, ‘You better get on it so you don’t miss out’.”

The couple made a successful offer, packed a lunch and headed towards Melbourne to the small town of Emerald to pick up the long lost Diamond Reo. After a quick check over it, they were behind the wheel and driving the big unit home. The truck then went straight to the workshop for a bit of TLC. “The main jobs were re-bushing the back end, doing valves and airlines. A couple of brake boosters, inner chassis rails … stuff like that,” Norm says. “Most of it was for a roadworthy and my own peace of mind.”

Having already experienced 12 months of so-called retirement, Norm knew straight away he was going to work the old girl and as such fitted the low line sleeper, tidied up the interior and added two extra fuel tanks.

“A truck like this you can’t just leave it to sit and take it to shows. The engine would glaze over, it’s not good for it,” he states, adding that his intent was to help out his sons Michael and Steve. Both had followed in their father’s footsteps with successful transport

companies. Michael and his wife Karen started Bransgrove Truckin, while Steve and his wife Tamara had taken over BransTrans Pty Ltd. Norm was happy to subbie to them, doing loads whenever he could.

Norm eased his way out of retirement, doing an easy little run from Traralgon to Melbourne to check for teething issues in the Diamond Reo. Thankfully there was none.

This meant it was time to load it up more and do a decent run, this time a decent 2500km trip all the way to Mackay in Queensland.

What made the Mackay run more important was Norm’s plan to call in and visit Margaret Caldow, Jack’s widow. He wanted to call in and show her that Jack’s old truck was still going strong, working as hard as Jack had worked it for nearly 40 years.

“It was a big surprise for Margaret, we’d let her daughter know we were bringing it by, but it was a surprise,” Norm says. “It was very emotional, she greeted me with the loveliest hug and wanted to climb in. She did well for a 91-year-old.”

Since that first big run, Norm and Nola have had the truck covering all areas of Australia.

It is not a full-time gig for either the Diamond Reo or Norm and Nola. It is just a way of ensuring the world’s worst retirees get their fix of an industry they have both flourished in, as well as illustrating that the Diamond Reo means getting old doesn’t mean slowing down. That speaks for both the power couple and their truck when you think about it.

I wish I could rabbit on with all the tales I’ve enjoyed from my time with Norm and Nola but unlike this lovely couple and their Diamond Reo, I had to pull up stumps. So go enjoy the photos and keep a close eye in your mirrors, you never know when the Bransgrove Diamond Reo will come flashing by.

hrough no fathomable fault of its own, Hino Australia hasn’t had the easiest time over the past year or two. Corporate indiscretions in Japan on emissions data, Covid-induced production issues, and most lately, news that Toyota’s Hino and Daimler’s Fuso are set to become stablemates in coming years have to some extent impacted the brand’s competitive stability.

To what extent exactly is anyone’s guess but more to the point and with little alternative, Hino’s local leadership has simply powered on, working extremely hard to keep an entrenched customer base satisfied. In a nutshell, doing its best with what it has.

Fortunately, what it has is the best model range in the brand’s Australian history and better still, arguably the best in the business on many model-to-model comparisons with its main competitors.

There’s no question that with the launch of its new wide cab 500-series in 2017 and introduction of the much-acclaimed 700-series trucks during the difficult heights of Covid-19 in 2020, Hino’s medium and

heavy-duty product range reached a new peak in almost every department.

In many ways, the 500-series laid the foundation for a revitalised Hino assault but it was unquestionably the arrival of the 700-series which put the brand on a broader and significantly higher pedestal. True, the absence of a flagship 700-series model with 500hp or more was a disappointment in some estimations (including this one) but nonetheless, Hino’s local team was intent on making the most of an altogether safer, smarter and downright more appealing range of trucks.

Indeed, in casual discussions with the likes of sales and marketing chief Richard Emery and product strategy manager Daniel Petrovski, ongoing acceptance and customer demand have remained bright lights despite the unforeseen gathering of darker clouds in recent years.

For a forthright Richard Emery, however, 2022 was a memorable year for good and not-so-good reasons. A 35-year veteran of the automotive business with a self-professed capacity to roll with the commercial and corporate punches, he joined Hino at the

start of 2022 in what he insists was “… a longterm decision to take this role. I’m not here for just a two-year fling.

“Nor,” he adds sharply, “am I a panicker.”

Even so, he’d barely warmed the executive chair before being confronted with many months of production stoppages and component shortfalls which had harsh impacts on critical models in the Hino range. Asked for an estimate on how many potential sales were lost during 2022, a candid Emery put the number at around 800 units. All lost, he emphasised, “due to events completely outside HMSA’s (Hino Motor Sales Australia) control.”

In almost the next breath though, he contends 2022 was also, “… a successful year given the cards we were dealt (and) we’ll go close to reclaiming that 800 in 2023.”

No question, this year seems guaranteed to deliver an all-time Australian record for truck sales and providing supply lines flow smoothly from Japan and local bodybuilders are able to keep pace with a booming market, Hino also has its sights set on a record result.

“There’s definitely no lack of demand for our trucks right across the range,” says a

typically passionate Daniel Petrovski, ever ready to cite the features and versatility of the 700-series as major factors in Hino’s appeal. Despite being launched in the middle of Covid constraints, “700-series,” says an upbeat Petrovski, “has been the success we aimed for and not only meets but exceeds our expectations.”

“Like Daniel said,” Richard Emery chimes in, “there’s no shortage of demand and we keep asking Japan for more simply because we can sell more.”

As for continuing the ambitious and somewhat naïve hopes and dreams of previous Hino administrations to knock Isuzu Australia off its historic perch and claim top rung on the overall truck sales ladder, both men are quick to dismiss the subject. Isuzu has, after all, nothing short of an insurmountable lead.

Equally though, the threat of an aggressive Fuso taking second slot in the overall market stats obviously doesn’t sit well with the Hino faithful. Not at all, but it’s an emphatic Richard Emery who asserts, “We have a very loyal market, especially in things like small tippers, tilt trays and various niche applications.”

The goal, he insists, is to meet customer demand and maximise every opportunity.

“We don’t try to be all things to all people but what we do, we aim to do well.”

Hino Australia sales and marketing chief Richard Emery joined Hino in early 2022, a year of severe challenges but he insists customer demand remains particularly strong

Double time Justifiably confident in its modern lineup, Hino certainly hasn’t been tentative in offering various models for road test runs over the past year and more, notably 700-series trucks in various truck and trailer configurations punched by the brand’s longserving 13 litre engine with up to 480 hp. For whatever reason though, 9.0 litre versions seem to have largely flown under our radar.

Until now!

Simply stated, the 9.0 litre range may be something of a quiet achiever in the 700-series stable but even so, it has the versatility to cover a diverse range of applications and loses nothing in terms of advanced safety, comfort and appointments compared to its bigger bore brothers. Yet whereas 13 litre models are equipped with ZF’s acclaimed Traxon automated manual gearbox, all 9.0 litre models in the 700-series range come standard with the stunning smoothness, ease and operational intuition of an Allison fully automatic transmission.

Consequently, the opportunity to sample two trucks from each end of the 9.0 litre line-up was easy to accept, starting with a regional run in an FH 1832 4x2 model

configured as a rigid tipper towing a single axle trailer. Then a few weeks later, a day-long stint steering an FY 3036 eight-wheeler hooklift tipper outfit through the bowels of Sydney and its western suburbs.

Different as they are, the two trucks also share much in common, not least Hino’s A09C turbocharged and intercooled six cylinder engine sporting a Euro 6 emissions standard derived from a diesel oxidation catalyst, particulate filter and SCR system.

Likewise, they share the same functional, air-suspended and stylish 700-series cab, and vitally, an impressive level of standard safety functions under what Hino calls its ‘SmartSafe’ system. By any measure, it’s a comprehensive and commendable package led by autonomous emergency braking and pedestrian detection as well as vehicle stability control, ABS anti-lock, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning and effective auxiliary retardation through an engine compression (Jake) brake and exhaust brake.

Yet despite the extent of the safety package, the Japanese maker has stuck rigidly to drum brakes rather than discs.

Obviously enough, powertrains of the two models reflect their differing demands.

In essentially rigid 4x2, 6x2 and 6x4 configurations where gross vehicle mass (GVM) ranges from 17.4 to 26 tonnes, the 9.0 litre delivers 235kW (320hp) and 1275Nm

128

(940lb-ft) of torque, feeding through an Allison 3000-series six-speed doubleoverdrive automatic shifter and 5.25:1 final drive ratio.

However, it’s only in the FY 3036 8x4 model with its GVM of 30 tonnes that 9.0 litre outputs are pushed to 265kW (360hp) and 1569Nm (1157lb-ft), requiring the heavier capacity of an Allison 4000-series doubleoverdrive six-speeder with a marginally deeper 5.428:1 diff ratio.

About town Primarily offered as a 4x2 rigid and with wheelbase options stretching from 4.2 to 6.0 metres, the FH 1832 is the baby of the 700-series family but it also has a 500-series close relative in the guise of the GH 1832.

So, what makes the 700-series FH different from the 500-series GH? For starters, the 9.0 litre engine in the GH runs a Euro 5 emissions system but more to the point according to Daniel Petrovski, the GH cab stands around 125 mm higher than its FH sibling. That, he

says, is one of several reasons that despite a higher price tag, there’s a distinct customer preference for the lower entry of the FH version with its more comprehensive safety package.

One of many 700-series configurations used in Hino’s expansive demo fleet over the past year and more, our FH test unit had notched more than 18,000 km and was perhaps an ideal showcase for the model’s likely workloads in construction and landscaping roles where a rigid tipper might be coupled to a low-slung trailer hauling an excavator, backhoe or the like.

For this exercise, a loaded Hino 300-series tipper was a suitable substitute for a small earthmover and combined with a load of stone in the Hardox steel body of the 700-series, the outfit grossed 22 tonnes.

It didn’t take long to be reacquainted with the neat, appealing and functional layout of the 700-series cab. All controls and switchgear are easily understood and ideally placed while ride comfort, steering

Baby of the 700-series range, the FH 1832 is winning strong orders with the benefit of a standard Allison automatic shifter and comprehensive safety package

and overall road handling were equally impressive on a day where the combination was run through suburban streets, country backroads and fast freeways. All up, a tad over 200 km of widely different conditions and traffic flows with a couple of sharp climbs in the mix.

Throughout it all, the ease, smoothness and intuitive ‘smarts’ of the Allison shifter made the most of the 9.0 litre engine’s outputs. In strict performance terms, the FH 1832 is not a barnstorming powerhouse but with the aid of seamless shifts and the entirely appropriate timing of the Allison auto, the six pot’s willingness to dig deep and use as much as possible of the torque band delivered a stoic effort. At times, surprisingly stoic.

On freeway stretches cruising through the Allison’s tall 0.653:1 overdrive top

gear, 100km/h is notched at a twitch over 1600rpm.

As for fuel consumption, the truck’s return of 2.8 km/litre – or 7.9mpg for us more mature types – seemed more than reasonable over a day of vastly different demands.

All up, the 9.0 litre FH 1832 in this configuration simply showed another dimension to the diverse abilities of a highly functional 700-series model range.

Even so, it was a day behind the wheel of the FY 3036 eight-wheeler which arguably did most to highlight the attributes of Hino’s 9.0 litre line-up and in the process, demonstrate the ease and absolute suitability of the modern-day Allison auto in heavy-duty metro work.

After all, and let’s be blunt, the daily demands of piloting an eight-wheeler rigid through city streets and suburban snarls are

130

DOW 497-124 DT Hino auto choices.indd 130

14/9/2023 1:22 pm

for most people, probably about as appealing as a nail through a big toe. To coin David Bowie, ‘It ain’t easy.’

Fortunately, an Allison’s attributes make the job less gruelling and combined with a truck which has comfort and operational ease as inherent traits, mixing with mindless metro traffic on narrow city and suburban lanes is at least made more tolerable, and safer.

Like the FH model tested a few weeks earlier, the eight-legger had also done its fair share of demo duties, with more than 21,000km on the clock when we drove out of Hino headquarters on a busy mid-week morning. Again, like the FH model, the 8x4 was loaded with large stones to also gross around 22 tonnes.

With Hino Australia’s likeably pragmatic Barry Noble along for the ride, it was an easy

decision to run the truck through the sort of city and suburban conditions where hook-lift tippers make their living. Typically, almost six hours of driving resulted in little more than 120km of travel through Sydney’s main thoroughfares and inner western suburbs.

Still, and despite the relatively light weight of the test unit, it was more than enough to form the opinion that Hino’s 9.0 litre FY has the features to at least make it a respectable competitor to its Japanese rivals, namely UD, Isuzu and Fuso.

Admittedly, Hino was slow to introduce a factory-fitted twin-steer assembly with load sharing suspension and will subsequently have its work cut out to infringe on the established acceptance of its chief competitors. However, there’s no question it has the qualities to make a mark, eventually.

For starters, the 360hp version of the 9.0 litre engine is a lively and responsive performer, made all the more appealing by the superb synergy with the Allison automatic. On the face of it, and taking into account the relatively modest gross weight, the day’s fuel return of 2.2km/litre (6.2mpg) may not seem particularly favourable but again, the truck was toiling in teetering traffic flows for the whole exercise.

Likewise, ride and handling were extraordinarily good in tight traffic and on a few surprisingly broken suburban roads, showed none of the choppiness that can afflict some twin-steer designs. It was, quite simply, a smooth performance throughout but like all eight-wheelers, don’t expect a tight turning circle.

In areas of heavy traffic, however, the FY reaffirmed our opinion that the large mirror housings on Hino’s 700-series can obstruct the driver’s field of vision, particularly on traffic emerging from the right at roundabouts and the like.

All up though, the FY 3036 demo truck provided a smooth and comfortable workplace for workloads that are often difficult, demanding and congested.

As for the powertrain, there’s a lot to like about a responsive and surprisingly spritely 360hp 9.0 litre rating working in concert with the seamlessly slick smarts of the modern Allison transmission. For city and suburban work, Hino has been wise to make the auto shifter standard on all its 9.0 litre 700-series models.

To recall the words of Hino’s Richard Emery, “We don’t try to be all things to all people but what we do, we aim to do well.”

Hino’s Japanese masters were snail-slow in delivering a factory-fitted loadsharing twin-steer assembly to the Australian market. It was a long wait but it was among many advances to emerge with the arrival of the 700-series range

Organisers of the North Coast Petroleum-sponsored Casino Truck Show expected close to 500 trucks to turn up for its big August 5 event.

Delight turned to surprise when that number was easily surpassed at the NSW Northern Rivers’ town’s big annual event Words & Images | Warren Aitken 133

hat can you say about the North Coast Petroleum Casino Truck Show that hasn’t already been said. Well, I could quote a few of those in charge of the event, that would be a great way to start. One of the most common acronyms flying around on the very foggy August morning was ‘WTF’. It came from those at the registration tent. It came from those marshalling the trucks into the small Casino industrial area. It came from the countless truck spotters that had made their way to the Northern Rivers town. It was the reaction of thousands of people that lined the streets to watch the kilometres long convoy. And it was also the reaction of the man who has been nursing this show from its infancy 10 years ago, Darren Goodwin.

The reason for such a reaction were the 600plus trucks that turned up.

“Based on our projected growth rates we were hoping to get around 400 to 450,” Darren says.

The 2022 event packed Casino with 375 trucks, up from a previous 251 in 2019 and 207 in 2018. Therefore, it is quite understandable that ‘WTF’ was the reaction to seeing the registration tent having to break out the black marker and white paper to add more numbers once the pre-printed 499 flew past faster than an old school SAR on Sesame Street.

“When we printed out the registration number, we only printed out the number 500 as a joke to stress Darren out,” admits one of the volunteers staffing the registration tent.

In actual fact, they needed to keep adding

As the fog lifted, the amazing trucks seemingly appeared out of nowhere, parked up all around Casino’s streets. entrants were filling the industrial area from well before the sun started rising

numbers with the officially registered figure reaching 580. Add into that the 40 trucks that either missed the registration cut-off or were parked up on display already – and that gives you a total of 620 trucks.

With the magnitude of growth now established, let us have a look at how the record-breaking day panned out.

Like any good journalist, I was on hand at an ungodly hour to watch one of Australia's top regional truck shows ramp up. I had booked accommodation months in advance as the

truck show packs the town out. It also packs out motels in all the surrounding towns as well.

By the time the clock ticked over to 6am, there was a haunting layer of fog engulfing the town. As I drove through Casino it added to the atmosphere as big shiny trucks appeared to unveil themselves as I drove closer. Like slowly pulling back the curtain on a stage show, every metre I drove forward revealed more and more amazing equipment. The eery silence of the country town was broken

14/9/2023 1:22 pm

As usual, Fred’s Transport put on a display that made everyone green with envy

as trucks began firing up and heading towards the outskirts of town where the registrations and marshalling would take place.

By the time I made it out to the industrial area, there was already a plethora of amazingly sharp looking trucks registered and parked up. There were drivers, drivers’ families and drivers’ mates in, under and around the rigs. Australia's entire stock of microfibre clothes was being put to good use doing the final detailing to some outstanding trucks.

While it was a chilly start to the day there was nothing but smiles and good spirits from all those in attendance, happily perfecting their pride and joy while admiring all the rigs still rolling in.

The entrance to the industrial estate was a virtual who’s who of the truck spotting game.

There were almost as many photographers as there was trucks, all with their own spots catching the endless line of trucks first entering then exiting the industrial estate.

Sandisk would have made a killing selling memory cards if they’d thought ahead.

With the 10am convoy kick-off fast approaching, I headed back into town to find a quiet place to sit back and enjoy a couple of hours of show trucks rolling past. This was another huge challenge as there was no quiet place. The convoy route is nearly 5km long and there was barely a gap anywhere.

The support for this event seems to grow as rapidly as the entrant numbers themselves.

Kids of all ages were out with their arms primed for air pumping. Teens and adults had phones, cameras and tablets all charged to video and photograph the enormous line-up of trucks. Even the unappreciated traffic that slipped into the convoy was welcoming of the attention. The atmosphere was enthralling.

Obviously, there is a downside to all this community support and high out-of-town entrants, starting with having to park so far away and walk all the way into town to view the festivities. My poor feet would normally be okay but add in the fact that fitting 600 trucks into a small town means I had to walk down a lot of side streets to ensure I had a

glance at all the trucks. My feet were killing me by the time prize giving wrapped up late on Saturday afternoon.

Something for everyone It wasn’t just trucks on display though as there were activities down nearly every street, from stalls and merchandise tents selling stuff I never even released I needed until they told me.

Then there was the FMX stunt bikes putting on gravity-defying shows all day. If flying upside down with a throbbing engine between your legs isn’t your cup of tea, you could go and watch the Wildlife Twins amaze the crowd with their animals. Or go for a little walk down the other end of town to catch country rock band Country Mud performing live. It was merely my tired feet, rather than my complete lack of rhythm that stopped me from getting my groove on.

Like any good truck show there will always be a few dropped lips and a few unhappy faces once the winners are announced. Even more so when you have 580 trucks in the running for only a handful of trophies.

This year's entrants also raised the bar when it came to quality and not just quantity, making the calls even harder for the judges.

Luke Wilson from Bulmer Transport took out the Rig of the Show with his absolutely immaculate T908. You could be forgiven for assuming the truck has been kept in a dustproof case all its life, but the nearly two million kilometres under its belt show that the old girl works for a living.

All in all, the show was a roaring success.

Millions of dollars’ worth of gear on display, more than 14,000 people in attendance and probably around the same number of drinks consumed over the weekend.

The Casino Truck Show is a major event that pumps hundreds of thousands into the local community. The numbers this year ensured the show officially became the largest truck show in the southern hemisphere and it will be extremely hard to top. Maybe suggesting to the local council that they look at building a few more streets just to fit in next year's entrants might be a goer.

Either way, I’ve already booked my room for next year.

A-One Lift Truck Services offers a multitude of services at its Minchinbury workshop

Lifts galore Whether it be for rent or for sale, A-One Lift Truck Services is ready to provide almost any type of forklift for its customers.

Power through For a combined 70 years, Diesel Engines Australia staff have been supplying their vast customer base with everything they need to keep the show on the road With an established business history and extensive brand list, Diesel Engines strives to “supply the power” to any and all companies that require energy assistance.

As its name suggests, Diesel Engines Pty Ltd buys and sells diesel engines, as well as generators, marine gearboxes, marine equipment and various other items - with sales manager Brett Hitchcock saying the Queensland-based company serves a variety of customers.

“Our clients range from those in the industrial, agricultural, marine, mining and corporate event sectors and we provide options for local, interstate and international delivery,” he says.

The new and used diesel engines it supplies range from small 30hp Chinese diesel engines through to 3,000hp branded units from Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit and MTU, among others.

But in addition to this, has an extensive stock of new and used generators ranging from 10 kVA generators up to 1000 kVA and can order up to 2500 kVA generators brand new or used.

“All major brands of diesel engines and generators are available to you in one convenient location sourced from every corner of the globe,” Hitchcock says.

“We supply used generators in all sizes, brands and applications often

with less than 200 running hours,” Hitchcock says.

“Whether you need a Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit, Man, MTU, Scania, Volvo or Chinese diesel engines or generators, it’s worth giving us a call,” he says.

Diesel Engines also supplies marine gearboxes, winches, fairleads, anchors, hydraulic powerpacks, mooring systems, dumb barges, LCT barges, tugs, ferries, dredges, excavators and offers the opportunity to hire from the list of selected equipment.

“If you are in a business that requires you to supply the power, we can help,” Hitchcock says.

“Just tells us how much power for how long.”

To view the Diesel Engines product range, visit diesel-engine.com.au or call Brett Hitchcock on 0408 781 735 to discuss your power needs.

Author Malcolm Gladwell once said “It takes 10,000 hours of intensive practice to achieve mastery,” – so after more than 46 years of forklift industry experience, the team at A-One Lift Truck Services has certainly mastered its trade.

Ranging from diesel to electric, A-One Lift Truck Services provides sales, service and hires of forklifts and tow tugs to customers from all over Sydney and parts beyond.

Owner Greg Morris has nothing but pride in his own expertise and that of his staff when it comes to customer service and product quality.

“After being in this industry for more than 46 years, we have positioned ourselves as a well trusted brand for our Sydney clientele,” Morris says.

“Each forklift that comes into A-One Lift Truck Services doesn’t leave unless it has been fully serviced and tested by me and our guys in the workshop.”

With over 200 forklifts in the fleet, the company offers short or long-term hire as well as next day delivery and priority assistance in the chance of a mechanical issue.

“All hired units go out in A-One condition and throughout the hire we provide servicing and repairs.” Morris says.

“If any issues arise with the forklift while on hire, we make it a priority to get out there and get you back on to the job as soon as possible.

“We’re able to offer services and repairs from our mobile workshop vans or at our facility, which can range from oil changes to full overhauls – we even stock spare parts and have an extensive range of forklift tyres.”

A-One Lift Truck Services stocks name brands such as Toyota, Nissan, Caterpillar, Komatsu, Dieci, Linde and more with an additional service in parts and attachments.

Care.

It’s what we do.

At Isuzu, we’ve always taken great care of our customers.

We’re Australia’s number one truck… an honour we’ve held for over three decades.

That means more businesses put their trust in us than any other truck brand.

We understand that reputations are riding on us and that’s why Isuzu Care is more than just an aftersales service package.

It’s part of our DNA. From day one, we support customers and demonstrate that reliability is everything. We pride ourselves on being proactive and always going the extra mile.

And as we look to new frontiers, we’re finding new ways to help our customers exceed their goals.

Isuzu Care is what sets us apart.

Always has, always will.
