The HHA & Larsen’s Castlemaine Rotary Truck Show will be held in the beautiful Victorian country town of the same name on the weekend of 25-26 November 2023 A view from the sky thanks to the drone work of Diesel Fumes at the 2022 event

Castlemaine is considered one of Australia’s premier country truck shows.

Now in its 35th year and with the support of naming sponsors HHA & Larsen’s, this year’s

show is shaping up to be bigger than ever.

Along with everything you’ve come to expect at Castlemaine that is renowned for its family atmosphere – live music, kid’s rides, food and licenced bar – there will also be the chance to drive the big rigs with technology at the Truckies’ Challenge stand.

Visitors to the event who are mobility challenged will be catered for with trishaw tours of the grounds, and Saturday night’s onstage entertainment will feature multi awardwinning singer and songwriter, Craig Lloyd, plus crowd favourites Peter Coad & The Coad Sisters and The Jim Hermel Band.

At 7.30am on Sunday morning a Truckie's Breakfast (free for entrants only) will fuel up participants for the 9am convoy through town.

To top it off, there will be free health checks provided by LaTrobe Health to make sure drivers are prepared for the excitement of when over 30 trophies are awarded at the end of the day thanks to the Show’s generous sponsors.

For the drivers keen to come along - here is everything you need to know.

Showcase

Scania’s western push Recent growth in WA has allowed Scania to expand its network of sales and service branches Scania has announced that its company-owned network of sales and service branches will expand in 2024-25 with the opening of a brandnew purpose-built facility at Hope Valley, Western Australia.

The facility will comprise a new parts warehouse opening in 2024 and servicing the State, and a sales and service workshop that is due to commence trading in 2025.

The selection of Hope Valley reflects the rapid growth of Perth’s southern corridor and positions Scania close to major arterial roads for ease of customer access.

The workshop and parts warehouse will be on a prominent 19,000 sqm block in a new industrial precinct.

“Scania in WA has been growing quickly over the past decade and we have attracted more customers both for on-road vehicles running intra-state as well as across to the eastern states, and also within the State’s burgeoning mining industry,” Scania WA, SA and NT dealer director Michael Berti says.

“These growing segments have required an expansion of services as well as a good deal of innovation from Scania Australia to meet the needs of its customers in a proactive way.”

The multi-purpose facility will boast a standalone 3500 sqm central parts warehouse to service the WA market, while the workshop will be able to accommodate multi-combination vehicle sets over an ultra-long maintenance pit, removing the need

to decouple in order to carry out servicing and, potentially, repairs.

Large crossovers and hardstands will provide ease of access for vehicles up to 36.5m long.

Also included in the facility design is a purpose-built office environment with dedicated customer areas and ample space and amenities for the on-site Scania team.

Hope Valley will be the first true EVready facility for the Scania Australia business with infrastructure in place to handle today’s BEV charging needs and future capacity for high volume vehicle charging.

“Over the past decade we have devised onsite or fly-in service teams to ensure our more remote customers enjoy unrivalled uptime from their Scania service vehicles as well as heavy haul trucks and staff transfer buses,” Berti says.

An artist's impression of the soon-to-bebuilt Scania branch at Hope Valley in Western Australia

“Our business development trajectory requires us to ramp up our capacity to service our growing fleet of customer vehicles as well as to prepare for the transition to battery electric and alternative fuel vehicles, which will undoubtedly arrive sooner than people think.

“We opened a new dedicated parts distribution warehouse in Welshpool only around two years ago, but such has been the growth of the Scania business in Western Australia, this facility has already surpassed all expectations, and this in part prompted us to further expand our parts capacity at the new Hope Valley site, by doubling our available warehousing space to handle today’s needs and support future developments in both ICE and BEV product ranges.”

Scania Australia MD Manfred Streit

Daily duties Iveco’s new cab-chassis Daily range is turning heads with its good looks and great inclusions When it comes to tradies’ choices, there’s an abundance of options out there in the cab chassis market.

Through sheer strength of numbers, Japanese brands dominate the light duty sector, but Iveco with its Euro 6 updated Daily range, is giving prospective buyers a European option. More to the point, there’s a few options, including the 132kW (180hp) and 155kW (210hp) models.

According to Iveco product manager Emiliano Foieri, the majority of customers opt for the lighter cabchassis, but he was happy to hand over the keys to a 210hp dual fiveseater version for a three-hour run around Melbourne’s south-east and beyond.

Iveco had placed a substantial load on the 3450mm wheelbase Daily, around 70 per cent of its 4,495kg GVM capacity, for a real-life experience.

But what is immediately apparent is the roominess of the cab. It’s simply spacious.

Even a three-person work crew in the rear bench seat would have little reason to complain, but that depends on consideration shown by possible

oversized individuals up front.

Another space saver is having the park brake positioned on the dash.

Behind the wheel and the driver’s seat is comfy, helped by the memory foam. The seat has both a tilt and telescopic steering wheel adjustment, adding further comfort, not to mention improved ergonomics compared to previous models.

Climbing in and out is an easier task as well, due to the seat’s ‘get-off’ angle.

Initially, the heated seat gave me concern that I was coming down with another dose of COVID but, as Foieri jokingly points out, the truck had been specced for Victoria’s weather.

On the dash, the impressive TFT instrument cluster features seven dedicated screen menus – and there’s a Hi-Connect multimedia system that’s compatible with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and, of course, Bluetooth. For the geographically unfamiliar, this test drive vehicle came with TomTom GPS. No problem with charging your phone either, with cordless inductive charging available.

Off and running, although a couple of wrong turns around the

Dandenong area brought the benefit of testing out the Iveco Daily’s turning circle. Top marks there. Anything more complicated and the highresolution reversing camera, an option on cab chassis models, kicks in.

It’s almost car-like in manoeuvrability, but with its height and solidity, it’s all truck.

In previous models, the Daily used hydraulic steering, but the 2023 upgrades have shifted to electric power steering right across the range.

For tight situations, drivers are able to activate Iveco’s new City Mode through a button on the dash, helping to cut steering effort by up to 70 per cent.

Driver focus is tested with Iveco’s Proactive Lane Keep Assist, which Iveco says complements its Lane Departure Warning feature. The windscreen-mounted camera apparently recognises road markings, sounding an alarm if you’re drifting out into the next lane, or off the road, without indicating. It can be a tad annoying, but it’s way better to keep your eyes on the road ahead than have the Proactive Lane Keep Assist

take over and autonomously correct the Daily’s trajectory.

As with current trends, the eight-speed Hi-Matic automatic transmission in this particular model is commonplace for city-bound light-duty trucks. Although some buyers prefer the manual stick, Foieri estimates that number represents less than one per cent of sales.

Safe and sound Driving south-east along the South Gippsland Highway, the 210hp Daily boasting 470Nm of torque, poked along well, any undulations alleviated by the rear air suspension.

As expected, Victoria’s four-seasonsin-one-day scenario soon arrived. No problem there as the automatic wipers immediately took care of any drizzle remnants – another nicety to help in avoiding driver distraction. There’s auto headlights as well, handy when driving in and out of the Burnley Tunnel and the like.

There’s a certain aura of safety when driving the Iveco cab chassis, including front and rear disc brakes with ABS and driver, passenger and curtain airbags. In addition to ABS, the range includes an Advanced Emergency braking System (AEBS), Adaptive Cruise Control and ESP9, Iveco’s suite of nine electronic stability technologies.

In addition to the aforementioned Lane Departure Warning and City Brake, another safety item worth mentioning is Queue Assist which can be optioned, albeit at additional cost.

Queue Assist, a fatigue and driver distraction reduction inclusion, is for slow moving in start and stop traffic, allowing the vehicle to automatically accelerate and brake to a complete stop.

Likewise, Iveco says City Brake is designed for similar conditions and prefills the braking system for faster response if it detects an imminent collision.

This can also provide visual and audio warnings to the driver. If the driver, for whatever reason, takes no action, brakes will be applied automatically.

Aesthetically, the Iveco Daily cab chassis is a smart-looking piece of gear, it’s European styling both inside and out adding giving it a touch of class.

It’s a clear-cut competitor in the light commercial and tradie market.

Volvo boost for Exodas A new delivery of Volvo trucks is helping Exodas continue its expansion across the east coast Seven new Volvo trucks have joined the Queensland-based fleet of the Exodas transport, the company’s biggest Volvo delivery to date.

The Volvos, which range from an FM11 and FH13 to FH16 600 XXL Globetrotters, will handle duties from local distribution through to multitrailer linehaul.

Started by Brett Tynan in 2001 with just two trucks, Exodas has since grown its fleet to around 100 trucks and 30 rigids.

Its operations are mostly along the east coast, with six depots across Queensland and New South Wales.

Tynan says he and his colleagues

are big fans of Volvo, not just for their trucks but for their customer support.

“Obviously we love the product,” Tynan says.

“However, it’s the back-up and the people we deal with from Volvo on a daily basis that gets us over the line every time.

“All our Volvo Group trucks are covered by gold service agreements which give us a lot more peace of mind when it comes to servicing, back up and costing.”

Tynan says the 22-year-old Yatala based company has depots on the NSW Central Coast, Yatala, Townsville, Bowen, Tully and

VCV Australia sales director Martin Lambert with Exodas managing director Brett Tynan, and Volvo Trucks sales manager Philippa Wood

Mareeba to help cart sensitive freight.

“Just knowing that if there’s an issue, the driver can get help at the push of a button makes a big difference, it keeps our wheels turning and our business running,” he says.

Volvo Commercial Vehicle Australia dealer principal Greg Sargeant says: “Trust is vital in any partnership, and it’s great to see Exodas’ continued success and growth.

“We’re proud to have the Exodas team as part of the Volvo family, and we look forward to supporting them for many more years to come.”

Scania’s electric future Scania says its next generation of battery electric vehicles will add even more depth to a wide array of Scania’s battery-powered solutions Major heavy vehicle brand Scania says it has begun producing the next level of battery electric vehicles (BEVs) including electric trucks with power, range and battery charging capacity for daily operations in a variety of urban and regional transport assignments.

Major updates for the company’s urban BEV solutions have also been introduced, with e-adapted chassis, new batteries and optimised auxiliary systems.

The battery-electric zero-emissions regional trucks were first introduced in June 2022, with Scania building up a solid order book since then.

Production will now commence in Södertälje, Sweden, for trucks with R and S cabs with 400 or 450 kW of engine power, sufficient for a broad variety of truck applications.

“Operating zero-emission trucks is no longer a privilege for the chosen few,” Scania Senior Vice President Fredrik Allard says.

“Scania’s offer now covers a wide

span of applications and customer demands while offering services that are lowering the threshold for a transformation towards fossil-free transports for the many.”

The company is preparing to up its offer for applications such as distribution trucks and light tippers.

With the addition of e-adapted chassis, batteries by Northvolt and new auxiliary systems that will add better functionality and less complexity, new doors will now be opened.

A range of new electric machines called the EM C1-4 family have also been introduced in no less than five different power levels.

“With its five different power levels and four gears, this electric machine has flexibility written all over it. With this as the foundation, we can guide each customer to exactly the right configuration regarding the number of batteries and our services so that it truly fits their needs,” Allard says.

Working with Northvolt has seen

Scania uncover many strengths in its batteries. This includes being charged repeatedly up to 100 per cent of the SOC-window without any impact on lifespan plus having a straight charging curve that gives predictable charging times.

They have been able to accomplish these rare capabilities by making sure that the batteries always have the right temperature.

“We believe that charging issues will be regarded as less problematic when people learn more about how batteries work in reality,” Allard says.

“When we analyse operational patterns, it often becomes evident that the vast majority have all the range they need, with a margin.

“Tippers and other kinds of rigidbased applications often do fewer than 200 kilometres per day when operating in urban areas. If they charge at their home depot and join Scania Charging Access for backup, range would not be an issue for them.”

The new eActros 600 Mercedes-Benz Trucks has unveiled its first battery electric long-haul truck in Hamburg In a global release, Mercedes-Benz Trucks has unveiled the series version of the first battery electric long-haul truck for the brand in the eActros 600.

The model premiered recently to an international audience at an event south of Hamburg, Germany.

With this heavy-duty electric truck, the manufacturer plans to define a new standard in road freight transport – in terms of technology, sustainability, design and profitability for e-fleet operators.

The high battery capacity of more than 600 kilowatt hours – hence the model designation 600 – and a new, particularly efficient electric drive axle developed in-house, enable the e-truck to achieve a range of 500 kilometres without intermediate charging.

If charged during prescribed driver breaks the eActros 600 will be able to travel significantly more than 1,000 kilometers per day.

Around 60 per cent of longdistance journeys of Mercedes-Benz Trucks customers in Europe are shorter than 500 kilometres, which

means charging infrastructure at the depot and at the loading and unloading points is sufficient.

For all other uses, continual expansion of public charging infrastructure is vital in order to make the electric truck viable for longdistance haulage across Europe.

The vehicle is technically designed for a gross combination weight of up to 44 tonnes. With a standard semitrailer, the eActros 600 has a payload of around 22 tonnes in the EU. In some cases, national law may permit a higher payload.

Visually, the e-truck is characterised by a fundamentally new design with clear lines and an aerodynamic shape. When it comes to profitability for fleet operators, the electric truck is intended to set new standards over the long term replacing the majority of diesel trucks in the important long-haul transport segment.

The core of Mercedes-Benz Trucks’ concept for battery-electric long-distance transport is to offer customers a holistic solution consisting of vehicle technology,

consulting, charging infrastructure and services.

Sales of the electric truck start this year with the start of series production planned for the end of 2024.

In addition to the tractor unit, Mercedes-Benz Trucks will also produce rigid variants of the eActros 600 right from market launch, offering customers further possible applications for all-electric transport.

A fleet of around 50 prototype vehicles is currently being built, some of which are also to be put into practical testing with first customers in a next step.

“The eActros 600 stands for the transformation of road freight transport towards CO2-neutrality like no other truck with a three-pointed star,” Mercedes-Benz Trucks CEO Karin Rådström says.

“It is characterised by highly innovative drive technology that can offer our customers particularly high energy efficiency and thus profitability. This makes entry into e-mobility even more attractive for fleet operators.”

News TR Group is expanding its truck and equipment business across the country

Quality focus for TR Group Truck rental and leasing company TR Group is using the recent growth of its footprint across Australia to optimise its equipment and approach for local customers As a major player in the truck leasing space, TR Group is continuing to expand. It’s investing in new locations, growing its fleet with quality equipment and taking a customer first approach to supporting Australian transport companies.

The trucking industry plays a critical role in the global economy, transporting goods across vast distances efficiently and reliably.

However, there are periods when demand for truck transport surges, often due to seasonal factors or special events. TR Group says that preparing for these busy periods is essential for trucking companies who need to meet fluctuating demand, customer expectations and want to maximise profits and maintain their reputation for reliability.

As a truck and trailer leasing company, TR Group plays an important role in providing the Australian transport industry with multiple options for truck and trailer applications for short- or long-term hire.

The TR Group team have identified the importance of forecasting trends, especially leading into peak periods.

TR Group general manager Peter Irwin says the team’s objective is

to work with its customers to start planning ahead and provide the perfect solution for their needs.

“We are finding that the majority of our customers are now starting to see the benefit of expanding their fleet through the flexibility of rental during busy periods,” Irwin told ATN. While TR Group has continued to expand its national footprint with six locations spread across the country, the team is also balancing its focus to ensure that it has the right applications to suit the conditions in each region across Australia.

The growing fleet has more than 400 trucks, including a range of

Euro 6 Prime movers, rigids and 6x4s, as well as 2,200 trailers including Tautliners, Skels, Flattops and Refrigeration models ready to go to work.

The TR team prides itself on having reliable equipment that is maintained courtesy of a specialised support team that supports its customers.

Victoria makes zeroemissions breakthrough Victoria has surged ahead in the zero-emissions heavy vehicle race, implementing the first permanent access rule change for a Volvo truck network The Victorian government has followed the likes of South Australia, NSW and Queensland in moving towards a zero-emissions freight transport roadmap.

As part of the move, the government will establish a zeroemissions heavy vehicle freight network alongside Volvo.

Access maps will reduce the need for structural assessments on a permit-by-permit basis for operators of approved vehicles – saving time, cutting red tape and cost burdens on the heavy vehicle industry.

The first map will be centred on a new Volvo electric semi-trailer, allowing the manufacturer to start offering this combination for use on the approved network by local operators to super-charge a shift towards more sustainable heavy vehicles.

The new permanent low/zeroemissions road network will simplify the implementation of this vehicle technology on Victorian roads, allowing Volvo electric trucks to operate under a pre-approved, threeyear permit with a 7.5 tonne steer axle weight concession.

Victoria is the first Australian state or territory to make permanent moves to open the road network to low/zero-emissions heavy vehicles rather than announcing a trial.

“We’ve been very clear that without

legislative changes, such as these, we won’t, as an industry, meet the emissions targets that we’re all working towards,” Volvo Group Australia president and CEO Martin Merrick says.

“I applaud the commitment shown by the Victorian government by taking these steps. We’ve made our commitment to both industry and society that we will be at the forefront of zero-emissions transport and I’m heartened to see government taking steps along this journey as well.”

The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) has commenced

developing a Future Heavy Vehicle Roadmap to provide a blueprint so the Australian heavy vehicle industry can further plan.

“Achieving substantial reductions in transport sector emissions means we need to rapidly reduce our petroleum-fuelled vehicle fleet and shift freight to rail while we transition to zero emissions vehicles (ZEVs) powered by clean energy,” Victorian ports and freight minister Melissa Horne says.

“This announcement shows Victoria is forging a path to drive energy transition in the freight sector, accelerate the uptake of ZEVs and encourage mode shift across our transport network as we zero-in on decarbonisation.’’

The Victorian government has set interim emissions reduction targets of 50 per cent against 2005 levels by 2030 and a 75-80 per cent reduction by 2035.

The Victorian Budget 2023/24 announced a $15 million program targeting truck operators who regularly travel through Melbourne’s inner west, providing grants to remove their older, dirtier trucks off the road and encourage the transition to newer, more emission efficient trucks.

Mighty Hyundai Pricing, servicing and warranty details of the Hyundai Mighty electric truck have been released Aussie fleet owners and truck drivers looking for a light duty, heavy commercial truck, powered by an electric battery system have a new option with sales opening on Hyundai’s Mighty electric truck model.

Hyundai Motor Company Australia has identified six dealers within its network who will start selling the $150,000+ truck as a cab chassis set up with the option of a genuine alloy tray at additional cost.

The truck is being sold with a 240km range, fully laden.

HMCA Chief Operating Officer John Kett says the electric truck is ideally suited to last mile or back-to-base work for businesses wanting to reduce their driving emissions.

“The Mighty Electric is best suited to urban environments, with its zero driving emissions, a quiet electric motor and high energy efficiency at lower speeds,” Kett says.

“The smoothness and quietness of operation will help reduce driver fatigue and enhance road safety.”

Kett says the company had a great response to the preview of the vehicle at the Brisbane Truck Show in May,

with operators encouraged by the decision of Hyundai to move into the electric truck market.

“There is no doubt that the era of zero driving emission commercial vehicles is upon us, and that Hyundai Motor Company Australia will deliver to customers a real-world, commercially viable product that meets their needs and aspirations,” Kett says.

The Hyundai Mighty Electric uses a permanent magnet synchronous motor generating 120kW of power and 320Nm of torque. Drive is to the rear axle via a single-speed reduction gear turning a propellor shaft. Final drive ratio is 5.375:1. It has a maximum speed of 100km/h.

To recharge, the Mighty Electric will accept up to 6.6kW of AC power or 100kW of 800V DC fast-charging power using a CCS 2 combo charging port, enabling it to charge from 8 to 100 per cent in approximately 71 minutes.

For faster turnarounds, a 20-minute fast charge during an unloading stop could add around 100km of range.

In terms of body side, the 6,140mm long Mighty has a 3,300mm wheelbase and is 2,353mm wide

with a GVM of 7,300kg. Hyundai says it plans to release a pantech box body style in “due course” as a factory option.

The truck will be sold with a 5 year / 200,000km warranty and an 8 year / 400,000km battery warranty.

Hyundai has set a 12-month service schedule, or 20,000km, whichever comes first, with estimated costs for the first five years or 100,000km of $4,300. The truck is fitted with regenerative braking technology, auto dusk-sensing headlamps, LED DRLs, heated exterior mirrors, forward collision avoidance camera and radar, and a lane keep assist system.

There’s also electro-hydraulic power steering, backed by a tilt and telescopically adjustable column, and a suspension seat for the driver, along with rotary shift-by-wire transmission control, and 24V power outlets and storage binnacles.

Other elements include cruise control, a 7-inch colour instrument cluster information screen directly in the driver’s line of view, plus a centrally mounted 7-inch display touchscreen infotainment centre, with rear view camera display.

Jeffries goes with Isuzu Jeffries’ two new Isuzus are set to optimise its fleet capabilities South Australian soil and compost company Jeffries has added two new Isuzu 240-300 Autos with green waste compactor bodies to its fleet.

The trucks, which were recently collected from Northeast Isuzu in Adelaide, join a fleet of other medium and heavy-duty Isuzu trucks.

These include FVY 240-300 compactors, tippers, trailer and water trucks, an FVY 240-300 with agitator, a Gigamax EXY 260-520 fitted with a quad dog trailer and tipper body, and another Gigamax for the serious grunt work.

Jeffries say their favourite truck is the robust FVY 240-300, which they use for everything from compacting to tipping, towing, and agitating.

The FVY comes with a GVM of 24,000 kg and a GCM of 36,000 kg, which leaves plenty of payload for collecting organic material or delivering horticulture supplies.

It’s powered by Isuzu’s 6HK1-TCS 6-cylinder 24 valve engine, which

outputs 221 kW (300 PS) @ 2,400 rpm and 981 Nm @ 1,450 rpm.

Jeffries’ compactors collect organic material from grocery stores and produce suppliers, compacted on-board before being brought to the Jeffries’ facility in Wingfield.

This material is then processed to become compost, soil, mulch and fertilisers to be used at farms and vineyards across SA. “We need our Isuzu compactor trucks to be able to maneouvre in the CBD, but we also want to have maximum payload, so that we don’t make unnecessary trips back to the site to load up,” Jeffries executive chairman Lachlan Jeffries says.

Jeffries’ tippers can regularly be spotted on the road transporting soil, compost, mulch and fertilisers to Jeffries’ customers across SA, and their water truck is on site for dust management during construction activities.

The company offers a range

of composts, soils and mulches, many of which are the product of partnerships with the council, local supermarkets, hotels, restaurants and food processors seeking a solution for their organic material disposal.

Jeffries has also designed its own recycled organics sorting system.

“We have large customers who generate organic resources, including government and city councils, and we partner with major waste companies such as Cleanaway and Veolia,” Jeffries says.

“We also have bulk products that we sell to a range of landscape supply yards.

“These products go back to home gardeners and landscapers and are used in small domestic projects through to large-scale jobs like parks and recreation areas.

“We think we play a key role in moving Adelaide towards a more circular process where items are either reused or recycled.”

IKEA goes with hydrogen Quantron AG is providing its latest hydrogen truck models to IKEA Austria in a major move for the retail giant IKEA Austria, together with Quantron AG, has unveiled its latest example of sustainable logistics, with IKEA Austria becoming the first IKEA market worldwide to introduce hydrogen fuel cell trucks.

Quantron AG, a specialist in sustainable passenger and freight transport, is supplying the Quantron QLI FCEV model vehicles. The zeroemission transporters will be fuelled with green hydrogen from energy supplier Wien Energie.

“By introducing the hydrogen trucks - as the first IKEA market worldwide - we succeed in Austria in taking a big step in implementing environmentally friendly processes,” IKEA Austria CEO and chief sustainability officer Alpaslan Deliloglu says.

“In this way, as a pioneer in the field of sustainable logistics, we want to show that a transformation to zeroemission delivery is already possible today.”

The fuel cell vehicles were developed in collaboration with Ballard Power Systems, the Canadian global leader in fuel cell technology.

The entire process from feasibility study to delivery took only 18 months, enabling the Quantron QLI FCEV to hit the road in record time.

The innovative Quantron Inside technology offers a user-friendly complete package with innovative e-axle, customised high-performance

battery, fuel cell and tank system integration and unique energy management and aerodynamics for maximum efficiency.

One tank of fuel is sufficient for a range of up to 400 km, allowing distances of more than 500 km per day.

“We are delighted that our longstanding collaboration with IKEA has reached another level with the launch of a new generation of innovative Quantron products,” Quantron AG founder and executive chairman Andreas Haller says.

“The QLI FCEV is the first H2 vehicle in the fuel cell commercial vehicle segment up to 7.5 t in Europe and the market leader in fuel cell

technology in this class. We have been supporting IKEA Austria on its mission of decarbonisation since August 2021.

“IKEA Austria has 45 QLI BEV trucks in use in the greater Vienna area and a further eleven in other Austrian cities.”

The use of the battery electric Quantron vehicles saves around 450 tons of CO2 annually. The FCEV trucks have a longer range for deliveries even outside urban areas and are expected to reduce CO2 emissions by another 160 tons per year.

By 2025, IKEA Austria plans to make 100 per cent of its last-mile deliveries emission-free.

New Isuzu National Dealer Sales Manager Murray O’Dea

New Isuzu dealer leader Isuzu Australia has capitalised on its recent growth with the appointment of a new national dealer sales manager Isuzu Australian Limited (IAL) has announced the appointment of Murray O’Dea to the position of National Dealer Sales Manager.

O’Dea replaces Craig White, who stepped into the role of Head of Sales earlier this year.

Isuzu says O’Dea brings considerable experience to the position with more than 30 years in the heavy vehicle industry across a diverse range of operations and locations. He has been with IAL since 2016 as a Regional Parts Manager and Business Manager across several states including New South Wales, Western Australia and Tasmania.

In 2022, Isuzu Trucks sold 13,360 units, marking a new record and its 34th consecutive year of truck sales leadership. This year sees the upwards trend continue with sales increasing a further 7.4 per cent (709 units) for Isuzu through to the end of September 2023.

“With more than 70 locations in operation, our dealers should all feel extremely proud of their contribution to the success of Isuzu in Australia; success that wouldn’t be achievable without their commitment and professionalism,” Isuzu Australia chief of sales and aftersales Ben Lasry says.

New commissioner appointed The federal transport minister has officially welcomed the ATSB’s new rail commissioner The federal government, through transport minister Catherine King, has announced the appointment of Julie Bullas to the Australian Transport Safety

Bureau (ATSB) as Rail Commissioner.

Bullas has been involved in the rail safety and rail regulation at the state and national level and King says her

“The lynchpin of this highly effective and productive relationship is the support we provide to our dealers through key roles in our management structure at head office, such as the National Dealer Sales Manager.

“Murray’s appointment strengthens our ability to deliver this support and to assist our dealers in keeping Isuzu trucks on the road working for Aussie businesses.”

O’Dea will be working closely with IAL’s Zone Dealer Managers to support the expansive dealer network to ensure the right product is available for the right segment and ensure Isuzu remains at the forefront in forecasting trends.

“I know that Isuzu Trucks has a fantastic group of dedicated dealers that want the best for their customers, no matter how big or small, and they will be my number one priority,” O’Dea says.

“Every location and customer requirement are different. You must have the right product and the right people in place but also the ability to evolve with the times.

“I couldn’t be happier coming into this role and I’m excited to see what the future holds.”

appointment recognises her significant operational achievements across those rail sectors.

She will bring her skills and extensive experience to the ATSB to assist their work addressing strategic challenges and improving rail safety across the industry.

“I look forward to continuing to work with the ATSB Commission to promote safety in the transport sector through independent investigations that result in better safety outcomes for the Australian public,” King says.

The role will also see her become a member of the wider Volvo Group Australia leadership team.

With a background in sales, marketing and strategy in local and international automotive segments, Wood most recently held the position of Volvo Truck Sales Manager for Volvo Commercial Vehicles Australia.

“This is a very exciting time to be joining UD Trucks. I’m very much looking forward to being an integral part of the growth of UD here in Australia,” Wood says.

“For more than 50 years, UD has forged an enviable, hard-earned reputation for durability, efficiency and productivity with Australian trucking customers and it’s a privilege to be joining the UD team at a time of unprecedented success for the brand.

“The future looks very bright indeed for our customers, our dealer network and for UD Trucks Australia.”

Philippa Wood, new vice president of UD Trucks Australia

Wood originally joined Volvo Group Australia in 2014 as a member of the Brand, Marketing and Communications team before moving to the VGA company owned retail business in 2020.

Other previous experience includes holding sales and marketing roles with Ford Motor Company in the UK, where Wood delivered award-winning launch campaigns while driving exceptional customer outcomes.

“I’m delighted to have Philippa Wood become a part of the VGA leadership group,” Volvo Group Australia President and CEO Martin Merrick says.

“I’ve no doubt her experience in developing teams, driving strategy and building brands will be invaluable to both UD Trucks and VGA moving forward on our transformation journey.”

The departure of Inland Rail’s CEO means the search is on, with an interim CEO named The Inland Rail has announced that acting chief executive Rebecca Pickering has departed the position, with the Inland Rail having now appointed an interim CEO. Pickering served in the role for more than two years after joining Inland Rail in 2018 and being appointed as acting chief in 2021.

While undertaking a recruitment process for a new CEO, the Inland Rail has appointed chair Robert Rust as interim CEO and executive chair until the position is filled.

With more than 40 years of experience in the delivery of major projects in both the private and public sectors, Inland Rail says Rust has an acute understanding of the many complexities of delivering a major infrastructure project like Inland Rail.

Diagnostics: Open Road

Colour my world Coming to grips with alternative fuels isn’t so simple You can’t see hydrogen but you’re going to hear a lot about its colour as we consider alternatives to diesel fuel in the months - and years - ahead.

As a fuel, hydrogen has a lot going for it. When burned, each kilogram contains 2.4 times as much energy as natural gas and it emits no greenhouse gas emissions.

The Federal Government’s own Low Emissions Technology statement sets a target of $2 Australian per kilogram. At the moment, extracted hydrogen costs twice that.

Pure hydrogen doesn’t just magically appear. It must be extracted from other things - like water or fossil fuels.

In smokeless back rooms and crowded conference venues around the world, policymakers are feverishly working on global regulations and standards to allow the trading of hydrogen as a fuel.

One of the things the experts do is classify hydrogen on a colour spectrum depending on the emissions caused by its extraction and refinement.

For example, “green” hydrogen, extracted from water using electricity, is considered the cleanest and most pure form.

On the other hand, “brown” hydrogen comes from the thermal splitting of methane, and a byproduct is carbon in solid form.

“Grey” hydrogen is currently the most common form - and the cheapest.

While it doesn’t generate

Warren Clark, CEO of the National Road Transport Association

greenhouse gas emissions itself, the process to produce it does.

It’s all very simple in theory, but contentious in practice.

But that’s why we have things called technical standards.

While green hydrogen may be the gold standard to which everyone should aspire, other types of hydrogen are still useful in Australia if we’re to move towards a clean energy future without various industries slamming to a sudden halt.

The big picture is that trucks and buses are globally responsible for more than a third of on-road fuel and greenhouse gases - and more than 70 percent on-road nitrogen oxides that have serious health impacts.

In February, the European Parliament voted to approve a new law banning the sale of petrol and diesel cars from 2035.

Decarbonisation isn’t just about hydrogen. There are alternative fuels in use overseas - like liquid natural gas (LNG) and hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO).

We’re all aware that electric batteries are bulky and consume lots of payload. They are already

in use for short freight runs where recharging facilities are available.

It could be that our industry evolves to a mix of fuels depending on the nature of the freight task.

For its part, the Federal Government is aware of the need to change steer axle mass and vehicle clearance when introducing zero emission vehicles.

Again, that’s where you need standards and regulation.

It also has an Electric Vehicle Strategy in place - although heavy vehicles remain largely overlooked in that document.

The Government is working towards a decision about a national emissions standard.

Don’t confuse that with the new Euro VI emission standard. It’s focused on removing particulates and other nasties from the atmosphere, which is unrelated to greenhouse gas emissions.

It’s almost a mantra now that, when it comes to decarbonising our heavy vehicle industry, there is lots of work to do.

As an industry, we need the policymakers to thoroughly understand the realities of converting heavy vehicles to net zero.

Purchasing a truck is a massive investment, regardless of the size of the operator involved. Given the uncertainties involved, it’s understandable that many are putting off making that investment decision until there’s clarity from policy-makers.

South Australia’s Premier Peter Malinauskas was on hand to officially open CHEP’s latest service centre at Direk

Premier opening A high tech freight site in South Australia will combine food production with enhanced supply chain capabilities South Australian premier Peter Malinauskas has officially opened a new high-tech custom built 12,000 square metre CHEP Service Centre at Direk in the City of Salisbury, Adelaide.

The 5.6-hectare site combines two existing CHEP sites into one; further supporting farmers, producers, fishers, food manufacturers and winemakers in the southern Australian region and provides businesses with CHEP’s full suite of reusable supply chain platforms including timber and plastic pallets, reusable plastic containers and produce bins.

Located off the Northern Expressway and North South Motorway, the multiple platformsite was purpose built for CHEP by national property developer Gibb Group and represents the latest significant investment in the fastgrowing Direk business and industrial precinct.

According to the City of Salisbury, more than 4,000 individuals are employed within the industrial area of Direk and Burton and these precincts contributed over half a billion dollars to the South Australian economy during the 2020/21 period.

“The investment by CHEP and Gibb Group in South Australia is testament to the opportunity for growth that businesses have identified in our state driving job creation and economic growth in the region,” Malinauskas says. “The new CHEP Service Centre is strategically located in the

Direk industrial precinct. Direk is fast becoming a regional logistics hub, well-connected to intermodal transport routes, delivering efficiencies and enhancing South Australia’s supply chain and logistics capabilities.”

The Direk CHEP Service Centre is the second project that national property developer Gibb Group has been involved in delivering for CHEP (the first being the 10,000 square metre CHEP Service Centre in Kenwick WA completed in 2020) and incorporates cutting-edge repair and automation technology, nail rollers and digital quality checkers with the capacity to repair approximately four million pallets and wash six million Bins and Containers annually.

It also features best-practice sustainability measures and technology including a 250kW

rooftop solar system, LED and motion sensor lighting, rainwater harvesting and reticulation system.

CHEP Australia general manager Renee Holbrook says the new facility has been designed to create a seamless service for CHEP customers: “We’re incredibly proud to open CHEP’s newest facility, the Direk Service Centre. The design is centred around creating an outstanding experience for our customers through advancements in product quality, faster service speeds and availability of CHEP’s full suite of platforms all delivered in the one convenient location,” Holbrook says.

“The site will also improve our team’s experience by creating more career opportunities, an outstanding work environment, as well as generating 20 new jobs for the local Salisbury community.

“CHEP is committed to investing in its pallet and container capacity to best serve our customers and optimise local supply chains. With the Direk facility’s advanced repair and quality assurance processes our customer will receive a consistent high-quality supply, which is the foundation of the CHEP circular, share and reuse model.”

Port pioneers The Port of Melbourne is celebrating a new level of sustainability Port of Melbourne (PoM) has been ranked first among Australian and international ports in the 2023 Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) Infrastructure Asset Assessment.

PoM scored 99 out of 100 while also receiving a 5-star GRESB rating for a second consecutive year.

GRESB’s Infrastructure Asset Assessment is the leading environmental, social and governance benchmark for infrastructure investments across the world.

Port of Melbourne CEO Saul Cannon says the result is recognition of PoM’s commitment to embed sustainability in the business and

PoM’s collaborative approach to working with the port supply chain and other stakeholders to progress sustainability initiatives.

“As a vital freight hub for southeastern Australia, we have an opportunity to not only take action in our own operations but to lead and facilitate the decarbonisation of the supply chain,” Cannon says.

“We have identified both traditional and collaborative areas where we can add value and are adapting our approach to do so – be it emissions reduction, stakeholder engagement, exploring alternative fuels or financing.

“This result highlights our comprehensive approach and our

commitment to sustainability.”

The result is the latest of many sustainability milestones and activities at PoM, including the endorsement of a net zero target by 2030, the completion of a $475 million sustainability linked loan and recent work to embed sustainability into its developments and operations.

Cannon says PoM is working towards a more sustainable port for the benefit of the Australian economy and the liveability of Melbourne.

“Sustainability is important to support the Port’s efficient 24/7 operations and grow the Port to meet the increasing trade requirements of south-eastern Australia,” Cannon says.

Scan’s South Korea move A new acquisition will see Scan Global Logistics continue to expand into South Korea Global freight forwarded Scan Global Logistics (SGL) has announced it is acquiring a long-term partner as it expands its global reach by entering into the South Korean market.

The company is pressing forward with its ambitious global growth strategy, acquiring ENK Logistics, who has been a trusted long-term partner since 2006.

With this latest move, SGL says it is now gaining a strong foothold in South Korea.

As a G20 economy, SGL says South Korea holds a pivotal and well-established position in the trade markets of Southeast Asia and beyond with a business-friendly and efficient regulatory environment.

The establishment of Scan Global Logistics South Korea marks another milestone in the growth of SGL´s Pacific region, following the acquisitions of Pioneer International Logistics (Australia) in 2020 and Orbis Global Logistics (New Zealand) in 2021.

SGL Pacific Region CEO Søren Madsen says this acquisition aligns with SGL’s strategy to be present in the largest economies worldwide.

“For 18 years, ENK has been a great partner, offering local solutions and high-quality services to SGL’s

customers in South Korea,” Madsen says.

“With their unwavering commitment, meticulous attention to detail, and well-established network, we are a perfect match, and it feels very natural to welcome ENK to our company.”

Now, SGL actively operates in 50 countries globally, representing substantial progress from its presence in 17 countries in 2016.

“We have been doing business in South Korea for many years already, but it will be different to operate under our own brand with new colleagues that we know are offering the same high standard service to customers, that we do ourselves.

We are confident ENK represents a

perfect fit with SGL DNA and our way of working,” SGL global CEO Allan Melgaard says.

ENK Logistics owners Hoe Jick (Erick) Yang and Kwon Jik (Kevin) Yang say that joining SGL will help the brand leverage synergies from both companies in the future.

“We are already well-positioned in a highly competitive and robust market in South Korea, and our collaborative efforts will enhance our local expertise and knowledge,” they say.

“This benefits our existing customers, who will now gain access to an extensive global network, expanded offerings, and significant business opportunities.”

Singapore sling Border Express has been acquired by a major global logistics player Singapore Post Limited (SingPost) has announced that, through subsidiary Freight Management Holdings (FMH), it has acquired pallet and parcel distribution operator Border Express.

In a sale worth $210 million, the Australian business has become part of SingPost’s expanded integrated logistics network in Australia.

With a presence across every Australian state and territory, Border Express has comprehensive freight connectivity, warehouses and regional centres, providing end-toend interstate logistics services.

With a network of 16 facilities, a fleet of more than 700 vehicles and a dedicated team of 1,300 employees, SingPost says Border Express has established itself as a reliable partner to more than 3,000 clients from across industries, including large retail and consumer brands.

Upon completion, Border Express will join the transportation companies held under the FMH Group umbrella, including the GKR Transport, Niche Logistics, BagTrans, Formby Logistics and Spectrum Transport.

The acquisition comes just weeks after Border Express announced it has invested $13 million into cutting-edge fleet upgrades around Australia. With a range of new trucks involved in this investment, Border Express has been looking to enhance its sustainability and efficiency.

Over the past three years, SingPost has expanded its operations in Australia with the FMH Group and CouriersPlease. This transaction aligns with SingPost’s strategic ambition to expand its logistics network and foster synergy within its Australian operations to deliver enhanced value to its customers and partners.

In addition to this transaction, SingPost has reached agreement with the remaining minority shareholders of FMH to take its ownership to 100 per cent.

SingPost says the Australian integrated logistics market is estimated at more than $120 billion. With the acquisition of Border Express, the revenues of the enlarged FMH Group are expected to exceed one billion Singapore dollars. The expansion would further

enhance the FMH Group as a panAustralia national logistics player in the country’s integrated logistics landscape.

“FMH Group has built a sustainable integrated logistics business in Australia. This acquisition is immediately accretive to earnings, solidifies FMH as a leading logistics provider, and continues the growth and development of our Australian operations,” SingPost Group CEO Vincent Phang says.

“We look forward to welcoming Border Express to the FMH Group and SingPost Group family.”

FMH Group CEO Simon Slagter says Border Express is “a highly regarded transportation provider throughout Australia”.

“Upon completion, the acquisition will support FMH Group to realise the vision of a new logistics ecosystem where people and physical assets are connected through a ubiquitous technology platform, enabling true supply chain efficiency,” Slagter says.

The transaction is subject to relevant statutory approvals and other closing conditions.

For the love of Mack Gregg Melrose has stuck solid with the very first truck he bought 25 years ago, an ’88 Mack Valueliner that’s still paying its way on lighter duties, Alex Catalano writes. Images by Simon Gould.

Walk past the proud 20,000sqm lot of Melrose Cranes and Rigging in Sydney’s western suburbs and you might catch a glimpse of the company’s labour of love. The mighty black refurbished Mack R688 Valueliner, purchased all the way back in 1998 and having been put to work ever since, is a sight to behold.

For managing director Gregg Melrose, the truck will always hold a special place in his heart as the first he ever bought.

After leaving school, Gregg first plied his trade in the truck repair industry. He worked with his uncle fixing up damaged and smashed trucks and trailers. But even after moving into the world of cranes and starting his own business, the Mack has served as a reminder of where he started in the transport industry.

“I’d always bought cars, but I’d never bought a truck before even though I’d driven every truck on the road-toroad test,” Gregg says.

“Brand new Kenworths, everything,

I’ve driven heaps, but I’ve never actually bought one, but you’ve got to crawl before you can walk.

“A bloke who was one of my customers bought it at an auction when it was three years old, and he had it for seven years, pulling his drop deck float around.

“Then he decided to retire and I said don’t sell it to anyone else, I’ll buy it, I need a prime mover. So, I bought it.

“I decided to spoil myself, because I’ve had it for 25 years and I can’t bring myself to sell it.”

The refurbishing process has been a slow burn, as Gregg and an assortment of workers across the business doing bits and pieces to the truck across the years.

While the Valueliner with its 12-speed ’box had been operating as a prime mover for 15 years locally around Sydney, he says it now lives a decidedly “easier life”.

Gregg had the truck blown out in Penrith to install a tray on it instead, increasing its lifespan significantly

and lowering the load it must pull around.

“It’s now 350hp pulling around an eight-metre tray body rather than pulling a 42.5 tonne gross load,” he says.

“I decided to give it that birthday and keep it longer.”

And while most of the truck has been rebuilt from when he first got it, Gregg can guarantee that the heads have never been off in the 25 years he has owned the Valueliner.

“Everything’s been out of it, but have I rebuilt the engine? No. “We’ll pull the cab off, we’ll pull the bonnet off, we’ll pull the bull bar off.

Whenever he’s got spare time, the panel beater will go over and play with it,” he says.

“One of my guys who works on my cranes, he’s a motor trimmer by trade.

He’d take a seat home and do the seat squabs for one side and then two months later he’d do the seat squabs for the other side. There was no rush to it.”

Gregg is of the opinion however that there is such a thing as changing too much in a refurbishment, hence the engine remaining. He sticks by a saying we’ve all heard before – if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it.

“My head mechanic, he’s a bit of a truck nut. He’d be in there every morning going ‘we have to change these, change those, the accelerator rods’, whatever.

“All those things are fine, but how did it drive before you got in here?

He’d say, ‘good’, so I’d say, ‘what are we fixing?’.

“We haven’t rebuilt it 100 per cent, but it’s old. You’ve got aluminium tanks, but you can’t buy them new, you have to get them made.

“So I thought we’d do it a bit different, let’s sandblast them and paint it black.”

While it is slow going, Gregg says that the refurbishing process has never felt like a chore for this special Mack. The sentimentality it holds, back to the very first days of the business being founded, outweigh anything else.

Reflecting on the growth of the company, the truck has been there through it all.

“Sure, we go and buy prime movers and clean them up and blast them and paint them but that’s not the same.

It’s the truck that can’t be sold,” Gregg explains.

“So it’s now 35 years old, and just generally goes to work every day.

Drives around the city, does 40 to 50km and then comes home again.

Touch wood, it’s a reliable truck.

“When I first started it was just me with a very trusted partner, and we bought half a truck, half a crane and half a trailer each.

“Here we are 25 years later with 128 staff, 45 cranes, about 50 trailers, and about 30 trucks. It’s been a long time,” Gregg says.

“I started building trucks when I was 18 years old. It’s just about me being a big softie.”

Safe-T-Cam shuffle The NHVR has informed motorists of changes to a Safe-T-Cam location along the Hume Highway The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) has announced that the Transport for NSW Bargo Safe-T-Cam located on the Hume Highway has been moved to a new location and will be activated from this month.

The new camera will be relocated to Douglas Park South overpass (southbound) and Pheasants Nest (northbound) five kilometres away from the previous location.

The Safe-T-Cam detects and provides data on heavy vehicle incidents relating to vehicles that

are unregistered or uninsured, as well as fatigue offences relating to travel between two or more cameras.

The camera also provides information on vehicles attempting to avoid detection at camera sites and heavy vehicles that fail to enter inspection stations.

The Safe-T-Cam network is part of the NHVR’s heavy vehicle compliance program and is a network of digital cameras that monitor the movement of heavy vehicles.

NHVR Director Central Region

Brett Patterson says the cameras are a way to monitor the movement of heavy vehicles to ensure they comply with registration requirements and their work and rest obligations.

“The new location of the Safe T-Cam at Douglas Park South overpass (southbound) and Pheasants Nest (northbound) will have fixed signage installed to alert heavy vehicle drivers of the camera at both locations, to ensure safety across the industry,” Patterson says.

In for the long haul From humble beginnings in Victoria privately owned SCT has grown to the multi-faceted logistics company of today With Christmas on the horizon and an abundance of freight to be shipped the team at Altona-based SCT are in the thick of their peak season.

After 49 years in the business the skills required to move large volumes of goods all around the country, by rail or truck, are tattooed in the DNA of the organisation. Planning is key.

So it is that as the business works hard to deliver on its Christmas 2023 promises, its leaders also busy looking ahead to 2024 and considering how they might best mark the remarkable milestone of 50-years in business.

It’s been an epic journey since 1974 when Peter Smith first opened the doors of SCT in response to growing demand for efficient container transport to and from the ports in Victoria.

What started with a vision to simply do things better than the opposition, has evolved into a multi-faceted logistics operation servicing the east and west coasts of Australia by rail and road that now employs 1500 staff.

The business has grown from moving shipping containers for customers by trucks to where they needed to be, to being the first private rail operator in Australia to operate between Melbourne and Perth, linking east and west.

As its reach has grown, so too has the need for real estate and SCT today

has warehousing, storage and rail hubs situated across the country at sites including Altona (Vic), Penfield (SA), Bromelton (QLD), Minchinbury (Sydney), Parkes (NSW), Forrestfield (WA), Wodonga (Vic) and Horsham (Vic).

The management of the company has evolved too.

Peter’s sons Geoff and Glenn, as managing director and CEO respectively, have been guiding the business from the top for the past 20 years.

Reflecting on the changes he has been a part of Geoff says it ties back to finding solutions that best service customer needs.

“Over the years, SCT has acquired

land strategically located and with direct rail access onto the Interstate Network,” he says.

“The shared rail terminal model requiring the cooperation amongst competitors which SCT had to adopt in those early days was a challenge.

As both train sizes and the number of services grew, building and operating our own terminals became a matter of survival.”

Growing into all facets of the supply business, including the warehousing, has allowed SCT to grow and service some its customers unique needs, including the likes of Treasury Wine Estates which has been the SCT anchor ports, property, and logistics model partner since 2014. Treasury

Feature From the port, to warehousing and on to the client, SCT has it covered

Wines have had two purposedesigned warehouses developed in conjunction with SCT at SCT’s Penfield site in South Australia.

With the industry projected to grow domestically over the next few years supply chain partners are being called upon to be both agile and resilient.

As a business, SCT believes it has invested wisely and is well placed to grow its operations to cater for increased customer demand and to also step ahead in the sustainable transport space where governments are increasingly focusing their attention.

Given recent climatic events that caused network disruptions and closures Geoff says SCT is buoyed by the resilience investment going back into the rail network.

In building its own terminals, controlling a large fleet of equipment, and having 60km of internal rail line, SCT is able to run trains daily, throughout the network. Its sites have direct access to mainline rail track, cross dock terminals, handling areas, and internal rail infrastructure allowing for the high-quality service levels and a value for money transport solution for its customers.

Geoff says he recognises the role not only SCT can play, but the broader rail industry can play in helping business reduce carbon emissions within the supply chain.

A big part of SCT’s DNA is innovation. It has been investing in state-of-the-art infrastructure and assets year on year to remain competitive and continually position itself to meet capacity into the future.

Geoff says that a notable example of recent times is the new intermodal facility located within SCT ‘Altona precinct”. In keeping with the aim of being more sustainable, the building was constructed with recycled building materials, with features such as electric vehicle charging, a 99kw solar panel system added to the refrigeration area, solar hot water units to the amenities areas, a 20,000l rainwater harvesting tank and electric forklifts.

Another recent development has involved SCT “insourcing” the servicing of its fleet of locomotives and opening a major workshop in Adelaide, employing engineers and diesel fitters, and constructing and implementing a parts warehouse operation.

“This initiative is about improving our locomotive performance, improving our service levels to our customers and controlling our own destiny,” Geoff says.

SCT has also moved into similar space in Victoria, taking on maintenance within its Altona facility, only a few steps away from the purpose built GEMCO Rail facility which maintains SCT’s fleet of rail rolling stock.

As the Altona site traffic increased, SCT moved to reduce congestion, adding a new eastern mainline connection to create 1800m-long departure and arrival rail roads that have increased capacity and productivity of rail at the site.

The company continues to invest in the latest equipment, and so far this year has added new rail rolling stock, 25 rail platforms and a new batch of 48’ temperature-controlled containers. “It’s all about matching the right container equipment to the right purpose-built rail rolling stock – it’s how we create efficiencies for our customers,” Geoff says.

SCT also underwent a comprehensive road fleet replacement program for its sugar haulage business with seven firstof-their-kind purpose-built quad axle skel trailers approved under Performance-Based Standards (PBS). The vehicles provide payload advantages, improved safety, efficiencies, and a reduction of environmental impact and have removed 4,000 truck and trailer movements off mostly country roads used by local people.

Aside from planning a 50th anniversary celebration of some sort, SCT has plenty of projects on the board for 2024 including the introduction of a drop-pit and wheel lathe at the maintenance site, new technology for the rail operation and more building in Perth where it will expand its warehousing capacity for ambient and temperature controlled operations.

Geoff says there will also be a locomotive upgrade to a part of the train fleet.

With a determination to continue looking after customers, end-toend in the supply chain, to hire and keep the best people, and to constantly innovate, Geoff says SCT is “genuinely excited about the year ahead and reflecting further on what has been a remarkable 1st 50 years.”

Safety award winners

DOW-FP-M-5012209-A

SRT Logistics and ABC Transport have plenty to celebrate this month Transport operators SRT Logistics and ABC Transport have both won awards at Primary Connect’s 10th annual Transport Safety Day. Both companies were recognised with Carriers of the Year awards at an event held at Woolworths Group’s head office last month with more than 150 carrier partners represented.

The two longstanding transport partners of Primary Connect were formally recognised for their outstanding safety, compliance and service.

SRT Logistics was named Large Carrier of the Year, while ABC Transport was awarded Small Carrier of the Year.

“Our Primary Connect Carrier of the Year Awards are a fantastic opportunity for us to recognise carriers that demonstrate the highest level of service and outstanding professionalism while reflecting

our own values and commitment to safety,” Primary Connect+ director Chris Brooks says.

“We are thrilled to present the award to ABC Transport for the first time and to SRT for the fourth time since the inception of these awards, and the second year in a row.

“We’re grateful to have such highquality partners supporting our supply chain.”

SRT Logistics, as the Large Carrier of the Year, has been working with Primary Connect for more than 15 years.

With 370 employees transporting roughly 375,000 pallets of goods each year, SRT Logistics CEO Robert Miller says he was humbled to win the award multiple times.

“It takes a lot of hard work and dedication from the team for both our leaders and the broader team at SRT,” Miller says.

“It’s their hard work and dedication

every day that makes a difference to our business and the business of Woolworths.”

ABC Transport, as Small Carrier of the Year, was recently acquired by Centurion after starting in 1998 out of Alice Springs before becoming a Primary Connect partner in 2017.

ABC Transport became a partner due to Woolworths wanting to get fresher produce into the northern area of Australia with shorter lead times.

“We’re full of pride for the fact that we’ve done a good job and we’ve dealt with a very important and prestigious company to make the produce in Darwin fresher and better for the customers up there,” ABC Transport CEO Jamie Eccleston says.

“We’re proud to offer Primary Connect and Woolworths the security and comfort of our highly maintained and safe fleet. We look forward to our continued partnership.”

Pressure on ports All is not right when it comes to supply chains right now, especially through the ports The COVID pandemic impacted the transport sector in a myriad of ways.

Businesses ground to a halt. Freight deliveries were severely affected, with supermarket shelves often left empty. This is just the tip of the iceberg, as the aftershocks of COVID are still finding new ways to detriment Australian industries.

In the transport sector, port productivity and supply chain delays are the key symptoms of an ongoing issue.

“Late last year we first started seeing quite a bit of congestion at Australian ports, especially along the east coast,” RMIT University supply chain expert Professor Vinh Thai told ATN. “There are several reasons for this

congestion, with a main symptom being that lots of vehicles are coming to Australian ports and are now facing delays.”

For the past year, this has wreaked havoc in several spheres of the transport industry, including trucks, buses, coaches and trains.

While vehicle manufacturers move to fulfil full order books and deliver products, long lead times and extra costs related to supply chain problems means it’s taking longer than ever before and costing more to complete deliveries.

A post-COVID surge in volumes aboard cargo movements is inundating ports and terminals all around the world, but particularly along Australia’s eastern seaboard.

Thai says the relaxing of both COVID and trade restrictions has caused this flood of ships arriving at ports throughout this year.

For example, recent trade restrictions between China and Australia have been lifted, resulting in larger quantities of import and export volumes travelling between the two countries.

For the years prior to 2023, COVID caused a backlog in the global supply chain. Now, the seatbelts are off and the relaxed circumstances means a surging volume of cargo is now arriving at Australian ports each day.

When it comes to roll-on, roll-off vessels that carry automobile traffic such as trucks, an increase in traffic is only slowing the time it takes to get

80

Feature

these new vehicles away from ports and onto roads.

“A very important issue that is impacting the industry is quarantine and biosecurity requirements,” Thai says.

“All cargo coming into Australia must comply with our rules. When the ships arrive, cargo is offloaded and checked.

“When there’s then a shortage in labour for boat activity, including workers who offload the cargo from ship to shore and biosecurity checking staff, there’s a strain put on port productivity, resulting in these delays.”

In Thai’s experience throughout 2023 in particular, he says Australia’s unique port environment through its unions and industrial arms means productivity issues are yet to be fixed. This then has a flow-on effect, creating a backlog of ships at major ports that then results in lengthy delays for deliveries.

Thai says this situation is intensified at major ports such as Melbourne, where shipping lines are faced with even longer delays as the port tries to reduce the time that ships spend waiting to dock at the port.

“The ports want to make sure certain ships spend less time waiting for ports, meaning there’d be less vessels sitting at the port,” he says.

“This adds to the multiplier effect, with the lead time of receiving cargo into shores becoming longer and having an additional cost attached to it.”

The way major Australian ports work is through two main customers in the shipping line and the cargo owner. The shipping line serves the shipper to ensure cargo arrives at ports such as Melbourne, Brisbane or Newcastle.

However, when they know they’re going to face congestion at these ports and will be forced into sitting idle in a waiting area, shipping lines lose money.

“If a ship is sailing at sea, then shipping lines make money, but if it’s

standing still then they lose,” Thai says.

“Depending on the size of the ship, every day sitting idle costs them money.

“Shipping lines have worked out the total cost of waiting and instead have begun skipping ports, heading to nearby ports to offload cargo before returning to their port of origin.

“For them, the sooner they leave an Australian port and head back, the better it is for the shipping line, as they can carry more cargo sooner.

It’s an economic analysis from their perspective.”

From the shipper’s perspective, they’re forced to pick up their cargo from a different port then what they initially planned. It’s another supply chain problem to add onto the entire equation that is causing manufacturers and suppliers to struggle to fulfil orders.

Work is slowly being done into rectifying this issue.

Last year, the ACCC began publishing reports into port productivity issues in Australia, with other voices such as Commonwealth Bank and Shipping Australia also following suit.

While ports can’t be optimised

by physically expanding space, focus is instead on how to enhance productivity at the ports to move cargo through as quickly and as safely as possible.

From Thai’s perspective, his solution is all about planning ahead.

While demand and supply problems still require future fixing, he wants to see transport companies work with suppliers and overseas vendors to identify any potential biosecurity risks and address them before they leave their port of origin, making the quarantine process in Australia quicker and easier.

“Planning is so important – we have to plan to minimise the impact of congestion within reason,” he says. “Measures need to be put in place from the port of origin before cargo is even loaded onboard, meaning there’s a collaboration between the entire supply chain to ensure Australian companies can plan their own resources for the import of cargo ahead of time.

“If you can spend more time over at the original port to get the process right, then the total time taken to receive vehicles may be shorter than the current scenario we’re seeing.”

Volvo launches driver program Volvo is encouraging and incentivising more women in the transport industry to drive trucks Volvo Trucks Australia has teamed up with Wodonga TAFE to launch Iron Women, a driver training and licensing program that is aimed specifically at women.

The pilot program provides vocational training and heavy vehicle licensing to women of all ages and backgrounds interested in pursuing a career in road transport.

The three-module course covers all facets of driver training from compliance, fatigue management and load restraint to initially obtaining a Heavy Rigid (HR) licence.

On completion, the participants will receive their Certificate III in Driving Operations.

After 12 months on the job as a HR driver, the participants will complete their final module of training and undertake their HC licence test.

“Iron Women programs have successfully run around the world,” Volvo Group Australia CEO and president Martin Merrick says.

“We can see that the transport industry is suffering from a chronic shortage of skilled drivers.

Anecdotally, we can also see that industry image also plays a

s

part when it comes to women considering a career in road transport.

“We hope programs like these may help shift the dial on the traditional driver stereotypes and show that a career behind the wheel can be both fulfilling and rewarding.”

In its initial stages, 11 candidates from five transport companies and three states will be participating, with the only prerequisites being that they’re employed by a transport company and have a desire to take on a driving role.

Team Global Express, Southeast Queensland Hauliers, John West Logistics, JATEC and Nolan’s Interstate Transport will be taking part in the program.

One fully funded spot was also offered to a Tasmanian based candidate.

“Wodonga TAFE is delighted to be a partner in the Volvo Trucks Iron Women Training Program,” Wodonga TAFE CEO Phil Paterson says.

“This extends industry specific capability and support to women entering the road transport

industry. A fantastic collaborative partnership underpinned by our joint commitment to fostering an inclusive and diverse educational environment, equipping participants with the future skills for success in heavy vehicle industry.”

Participants will complete two weeks of classroom theory at Wodonga TAFE’s Barnawartha Vic Logic Campus and will be followed by one week of on road heavy vehicle in a Volvo FL Electric rigid and a counterweighted Volvo FH 500 I-Save prime mover.

Guest speakers during the program include Melissa Weller from Heathy Heads in trucks and Sheds, Heather Jones, Pilbara Heavy haulage Girls and Kerri Connors, a former tanker driver turned mental health advocate with rural and industry not-for-profit RAWTAS. “We see time and time again in our own business that diverse teams thrive, whether it be on the shop floor or in our own headquarters,” Merrick says.

“To see that sort of diversity reflected in our future transport industry would be a fantastic outcome.”

Alternative fuel focus The VTA has held its second Alternative Fuels Summit to help operators understand what lays ahead of them in their sustainability journey The Victorian Transport Association (VTA) has recently hosted its second Alternative Fuel Summit to assist freight industry operators and suppliers prepare for a future that is sure to be significantly less reliant on fossil fuels and, over time, more likely to be powered by renewable energy.

Under the theme of Decarbonisation for the Road Transport Industry – Next Steps, close to 200 delegates heard from more than a dozen experts from industry, academia, government, regulators and suppliers on the latest technology, policy and regulation on energy consumption, alternative fuels, hydrogen and electric vehicles.

The program was designed around the four pillars of Targets and Regulation, Alternative Fuel Sources, Equipment and the Commercial Realities of Alternative Fuels, with presenters giving their time and expertise to help delegates on their decarbonisation journey.

“The road transport industry is now firmly on a path towards decarbonisation as jurisdictions in Australia and around the world start to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels,” VTA CEO Peter Anderson says.

“This is what inspired our inaugural summit last year, as transport

operators are at various stages of decarbonising but are eager to understand where and how to start the journey.

“Decarbonisation can be a difficult concept for operators to get their minds across but it’s important that they do because the low and no carbon future is already upon us.”

Anderson says that accepting the reality of climate change and the importance of decarbonising is an important step, but it is the pathway towards transition that is the most difficult part of the journey for industry to navigate.

“We have targets from governments, but we have little assistance and no definitive direction that can be implemented based upon current

expectations around cost reductions,” Anderson says. “Operators need better certainty to make confident decisions and investments, and the information presented at the summit will really help to inform their journey towards decarbonisation.”

Delegates heard from representatives from the University of Melbourne, Swinburne University, Freight Victoria, Viva Energy Australia, Lochard Energy, HAMR Energy, NewVolt, Hino, Volvo Group, Daimler Trucks, Hyzon, Sustainable Vehicle Solutions, Team Global Express, Australia Post, DHL and Crown Coaches.

The Summit was sponsored by CMV Truck & Bus and Viva Energy Australia.

Viva Energy’s sustainability push Viva Energy has unveiled the new sustainability carbon offsetting program that will soon come to Shell Card Viva Energy has announced that a new opt-in program will allow Shell Card customers to achieve emissions reduction and sustainability goals by offsetting the emissions involved with fuel purchases.

The new Opt-in Carbon Neutral Products Program will be available to all Shell Card customers starting early next year.

As part of the program, Viva Energy purchases and retires eligible carbon credits from domestic projects (Australian Carbon Credit Units), and a selection of international projects.

Customers can choose to offset with 100 per cent Australian units or a combination of Australian and international units.

Viva Energy Chief Business Development and Sustainability Officer Lachlan Pfeiffer says the new opt-in program is a way for Shell Card

customers to meet sustainability targets in an immediate and practical manner.

“Direct emission reductions are not always available immediately, and carbon offsets are a way of achieving lower net-carbon outcomes quickly and efficiently – particularly for businesses operating in sectors that are harder to abate and where technological pathways to lower emissions are likely to take some time to be commercial,” Pfeiffer says.

“This is an excellent interim solution for businesses looking to take meaningful action to offset their emissions while supporting projects with positive environmental, economic and social benefits.”

Carbon offsets can contribute to global efforts to combat climate change by helping to reduce overall carbon outcomes through investment

in projects that capture or reduce emissions, such as reforestation, renewable energy and methane capture from landfill.

Viva Energy says Shell Card is one of the simplest and most straightforward fuel cards available – like a credit card for all your fuel purchases that is accepted at more than 1,300 locations across Australia; all Shell service stations, Shell Coles Express, Liberty or Westside sites.

Backed by more than 50 years’ experience, Shell Card assists businesses by helping with the management of fuel costs and the streamlining of processing tasks at tax time.

The Opt-in Carbon Neutral Products Program is established and maintained by Viva Energy Australia alone. Shell has no involvement or responsibility in the program.

Paccar Australia has taken the cab-over XG DAF and married it to the most advanced big bore truck engine ever created by Cummins Words | Steve Brooks 89

t is more than a tad possible that in the annals of Australian truck production and more specifically, in the bulging story book of product development at Paccar Australia, the launch next year of DAF’s XG and flagship XG+ models will mark a milestone moment.

An enhanced image of the XG+ interior.

Enhanced or not, the fit and finish appears excellent

That moment when the corporate cohesion of global powerhouses Paccar and Cummins, and a critical yet hard-won concession from the Federal Government to change a stifling design rule, came together to mark a dramatic, evolutionary shift in the scale and scope of trucks for the Australian market.

While it’s still six months or more before the new DAFs are formally launched here, it’s inevitable that the XG and the taller XG+ will be the first entirely new models to enter the Australian market following years of urging by major truck suppliers for the Federal Government to increase the width limit of new trucks from 2.5 to 2.55 metres.

The government’s agreement finally came on September 28 in a statement from Senator Carol Brown, Assistant Minister for Infrastructure and Transport. Appropriately

perhaps, whether by chance or choice, the celebratory photo issued along with Senator Brown’s statement was snapped outside Paccar Australia’s Bayswater (Vic) headquarters with the upcoming XG+ flagship providing a bold backdrop.

Not surprisingly, the government’s concession comes with strings attached, defined in the senator’s statement as new trucks to be equipped with ‘devices to reduce blind spots, electronic stability control, advanced emergency braking, a lane departure warning system,’ etcetera, etcetera. Of course, none of these ‘strings’ are an issue for the new DAFs which, like all top-shelf continental cab-overs these days, bristle with a full suite of advanced safety features as standard equipment.

“These changes will be a real game changer for the industry,” the senator commented, adding that the government’s decision, “responds to direct calls from industry to increase the width limit of trucks.” Moreover, it’s highly likely that among the most insistent in providing government with ‘direct calls’ over the past three years or so was Paccar Australia and its

director of product planning, Ross Cureton.

Seated in the Bayswater boardroom alongside chief engineer Brad May, sales and marketing director Michael Long and marketing manager Ryan Hooper, it seemed a somewhat relieved Ross Cureton who remarked that after six years of intense planning and engineering development spanning the global networks of Paccar and Cummins, the government’s decision came as something of a belated bonus in preparing the new DAFs for the Australian market.

After all, as both Ross Cureton and Brad May asserted, the DAF XG program was going ahead with or without the width increase. Sure, the 2.55 metre ruling vastly enhances the viability and practicality of the exercise simply because it accepts Europe’s standard cab width and, in so doing, cancels Australia’s archaic requirement for a 50mm narrower cab width. Still, there were significantly more critical factors at play than years of waiting in limbo for a government decision.

Indeed, it was about six years ago that the stars started to align for Paccar Australia’s long-held ambition to take DAF to a whole

new level in this country. First, there were already secret details of a massive project to develop an entirely new range of premium DAF models for the European market. Then, around much the same time came quiet insights of a radical project by engine giant Cummins to create a highly advanced 15 litre engine, physically smaller and considerably lighter than its existing X15 offering yet punching outputs up to 660hp and 3200Nm (2300lb-ft) of torque.

It is, consequently, easy to imagine the brains trust within Bayswater starting to put these exciting prospects together and subsequently formalising a plan to gain corporate approval for what would be a dynamic bid to take DAF where it has never been before in the Australian market: that is, the top tiers of heavy-duty competition.

After all, and even in the most simplistic view, these new creations from DAF and Cummins were the platforms for something very special and hugely unique in the Paccar world. Something beyond anything Paccar Australia had previously achieved despite decades of home grown achievements and most vitally, something

The first XG+ on display at the Brisbane Truck Show. Never has there been such interest and excitement in a DAF model for our market

Thumbs up all-round for the longawaited government decision to increase the cab width limit to 2.55 metres. Senator Carol Brown is front and centre with the new DAF XG+ providing an appropriate backdrop

to spearhead DAF’s emergence from the fringes of Australia’s heavy-duty ranks to a level which at the very least, would challenge every premium player in the continental cab-over class.

As sales and marketing director Michael Long explained, in the current heavy-duty market there are around 1200 European cab-over trucks of 600hp or more being sold annually. Right now, DAF has no presence in that sector of the market, a void Paccar Australia is particularly eager to end.

In effect, these new models are DAF’s springboard into the big time but of course, not before all the boxes for a barnstorming arrival are ticked and re-ticked. As a succinct Brad May put it, “We’re busy. Very busy.”

High regard Launched in Europe in the middle of a COVID-constrained market in 2021, DAF’s ‘New Generation’ XF, XG and XG+ models were nonetheless quick to gain accolades and orders, and by the time of Germany’s all-encompassing Hanover Truck Show in 2022, DAF principals were loud and proud in spruiking the brand’s ascension to the top of continental sales charts.

However, the biggest engine in DAF’s European stable is the 12.9 litre MX-13 which powers the current XF model. Australia needed more and of course, the new 15 litre Cummins was the key, not only because of its greater grunt and lighter weight but also its smaller physical dimensions to fit comfortably under the new cabs.

Thus, behind the scenes in Europe, engineers and component specialists at DAF headquarters in the Netherlands were fully engaged with their Australian counterparts and likewise, Cummins’s senior technical people in Europe and Australia. Obviously, the new trucks had gone through years of extreme testing prior to launch and so, too, had Cummins put a huge effort into ensuring the durability of the engine which had become broadly known as the M15.

However, testing and validating the engine for Australian conditions were essential, with Cummins Australia undertaking detailed field tests of engines in the Kenworth K200s

of several leading customers before the arrival and subsequent on-road evaluations of the first DAF XG+ trial units.

Yet the engines in the DAFs differ in a number of ways to those first installed in Kenworths. For starters, they’re coupled to ZF’s hugely successful and highly intuitive Traxon automated transmission rather than the usual Cummins coupling to an Eaton ’box. Of a less technical nature but certainly imparting the message that the new DAFs are first and foremost a Paccar product, the engines are painted black instead of the usual Cummins red, and like the MX-13, topped with a rocker cover boldly stamped ‘Paccar’.

Whether or not the new Cummins is marketed as an MX-15, well, time will tell. And whether or not Cummins was entirely happy about the colour and branding change of its latest and possibly greatest truck engine is unknown. Either way, both matters now seem something of a moot point.

Yet with its local evaluation program in full swing, Paccar Australia was keen

Short ’n sweet. Our exclusive drive in the DAF XG+ highlighted an exceptional standard of build quality and smooth road manners. We’re already keen for a much longer run

to gauge market reaction and shelved its normally secretive protocols to put one of the new DAFs front and centre on its stand at the Brisbane Truck Show earlier this year. To say the new truck was a standout attraction would be an understatement of major proportion, thrilling and surprising Paccar insiders with levels of interest from customers and show goers never before experienced for the DAF brand in this country.

As for us, we were keen as seagulls on a chip to get behind the wheel.

Again though, there was still plenty of work to do. As Ross Cureton put it, “pulling all the threads together” to ensure each aspect of the new generation DAF was specifically tailored to the Australian market.

With six months or more still to go before the official launch, the intensity to streamline and evaluate every detail of the specification has not waned in the slightest according to Bayswater insiders, with four fully imported trial units running around-the-clock before being prepared for real world work with several prominent fleets. Meanwhile, by

the time this report appears the first locally assembled XGs will have already rolled off the Bayswater line.

Fortunately, after months of haggling and hope on our part, Paccar agreed to a short but highly exclusive drive in a trial unit coupled to a fully loaded B-double curtainsider, grossing upwards of 62 tonnes.

Of course, a stint of 100km or so on Melbourne freeways and suburban arterials is hardly a definitive sample but the privilege of being handed the reins of a critical new model driven by less than a handful of ‘outsiders’, and particularly a model with so much at stake for its creators, was not taken lightly. Perhaps most strikingly though, the exercise signalled Paccar’s burgeoning confidence and on first impressions, the confidence is definitely not misplaced.

Typifying the new model’s initial specification, the XG+ trial truck sat on a 3.9 metre wheelbase and carried a gross combination mass rating of 97 tonnes.

Importantly, it also carried fuel and AdBlue capacities of 1200 litres and 130 litres respectively.

Underneath was the 660hp version of the new Cummins (a 600hp rating with 3000Nm\2212lb-ft of torque is also likely to be offered) stirring through a 16-speed ZF Traxon automated transmission into a Meritor drive tandem on Paccar’s Airglide rear suspension, and with disc brakes allround.

From any angle, the external styling is modern and clean with rounded corners and curved roofline clearly indicating DAF's close attention to aerodynamic detail, not least with the truck’s optional fitment of external cameras and internal screens in place of standard glass mirrors. Wisely, as Brad May confirmed from inside the cab, glass mirrors will “definitely” be the norm and cameras the option.

With a set-back front axle, it’s an easy climb into the cab on well-placed steps and throughout, inside and out, build quality appears first-rate. True, time in the truck was short, but it didn’t take long to be familiar with the digital dash layout, major switchgear and control functions, as well as form an appreciation for the roominess and appointments of the high-rise XG+ cab.

Have no doubt, in features and finish the XG+ has all the trappings of a top-shelf truck, including a generous and electrically adjustable bed.

Meantime, there’s a polite, reassuring hum from the new Cummins which does more than just hint at a fine mix of manners and muscle. Most notably though, the level of throttle response is extraordinarily sharp.

Quite simply, it’s a smaller engine with a bigger bite and according to Paccar’s people, early indications suggest a healthy regard for fuel efficiency.

That’s enough for now. After all, it was a short drive and it’s still early days. Very early, and so much hinges on the durability and efficiency of the new engine.

But this much is already certain: XG represents a major cultural shift for Paccar Australia and there will be no shortcuts in achieving the goal to not only put DAF on a far higher heavy-duty mantle but equally, forge a foundation to take the brand and the company into a broader competitive realm.

Similarly certain, this will not be our last report on the new DAF before its official launch next year. In fact, the likelihood is that a much longer run will be provided over the next month or so.

Stay tuned!

O It was an early start to get near the front of the Brisbane convoy, but drivers, helpers and admirers were rolling in from 6am

ctober was my month this year. Forget Christmas, forget Easter, and don’t even look at my ever-increasing birthdays in March. October is my month!

Obviously, there are the standard events that make October my favourite month, from the Bathurst 1000 to the NRL Grand Final.

If you are that way inclined there is also the AFL Grand Final.

Then you’ve also had the Cricket World Cup and the Rugby World Cup. Add in the World Poutine Eating Champs in Canada and the Human Towers Competition held near Barcelona. I mean how can you not be a fan of October?

Then of course we have the most important event in every October, the annual Lights On The Hill weekend in south-east Queensland. This year's event, which actually kicked off on September 30 on the first day of the long weekend, also saw the team celebrating its 20th anniversary.

Here is the thing about the Lights On The Hill weekend though. It isn’t just a convoy anymore. After 20 years of growth, 20 years of driver support and 20 years of increasing public support, this event has grown from a few trucks paying tribute to fallen fellow drivers to a massive memorial weekend.

This year's event was not just the 20th anniversary, it was also one of the event’s best-ever turnouts.

When I speak of the success of the 2023 event, I don’t want to focus just on the numbers involved. Whichever way you look at it, having nearly 700 trucks inside the Gatton Showgrounds is a huge statistical success. I also don’t want to just focus on the amazing names that were putting on a show for the huge crowd on Saturday. Country rock band The Road Hammers from Canada, plus The Open Season Band, Natalie Pearson and the amazing Hayley Jenson – that lady can sing! Those guys just tore the roof off the place, metaphorically speaking. Obviously, it was an outdoor concert so there was no roof.

But if there was, it would have been torn off.

What I consider the barometer of success for this year's show was the turnout of the general public from both ends of the convoy.

For those who have been living under a

rock and aren’t aware of how the Lights On the Hill convoy works, there are actually two convoys. One leaves from Brown & Hurley’s Toowoomba branch and another leaves from Carole Park in Brisbane.

The Toowoomba convoy comprised of nearly 200 trucks coming down garden city’s bypass, tooting and hollering all the way.

The Brisbane convoy took up the remaining 500-odd trucks and snaked its way out of the Carole Park industrial estate, down the Ipswich Motorway and out onto the Warrego Highway.

The coolness factor wasn’t just limited to the convoy, even the spectators turned up with some sharp rides

The was plenty of spectacular company convoys rolling in at both ends, like the Metcalf team up in Toowoomba

Bear Bolen took a minute to share his story with me. Bear (yes, that is his legal name) has been behind the wheel for nearly 50 years. Bear was paying tribute to two old mates at the convoy. Dale ‘Fender Bender’ Johnston had been his best man but lost his life in an accident back in 2000. The other name is Poppa Smurf who worked the airwaves at the Woolgoolga radio base where he and his wife would help pass on road reports to all the truckies

This year I made a concerted effort to get to both ends of the convoy and was absolutely blown away by the number of people filling in every possible vantage point along the convoy route, including the streets around the starting points of the convoys and the arrival route into Gatton.

There were hundreds of people parked up

and waving like mad all along the highway as well. It was an incredible show of support.

People had their gazebos out, eskies were open and deck chairs were in abundance.

There were parents and kids from all walks of life frantically pulling the airhorn arm pump and Australian flags of all sizes being waved in support.

Once the trucks were parked up it then became time for the family to get in and make some noise

Paying tribute As popular and supported as this event is, it is still a memorial weekend and remains a difficult time for all those involved. Whether they are carrying a loved one’s banner on the front of a truck or whether they are seeing a loved one's name added to the wall on Sunday’s memorial service at Lake Apex Park in Gatton. It is a humbling time for all involved.

Many of those I spoke to however admit that they truly enjoy the Lights On The Hill convoy as they get to celebrate some amazing people and, most importantly, they get to remember and memorialise them. For that, they also thank the organisers. Many also pointed out how amazed at the show of

support from the general public with several saying ‘it’s often a thankless industry but seeing that kind of support was uplifting’.

Big congratulations need to go to the Lights On The Hill team and the countless volunteers who once again did an amazing job. From the registration at the convoy assembly points to those who spoke so eloquently and held it together so well at the memorial on Sunday, and the volunteers who somehow managed to successfully park nearly 700 trucks and others who kept the crowds flowing freely through the turnstiles – a big congratulations!

That’s has been enough waffle – enjoy the photos and let’s start getting the trucks ready for the 2024 Light on the Hill Convoy.

A

bsence, I’ve heard it said, makes the heart grow fonder. Well, as a romantic notion that’s probably true, but when it comes to trucks competing in an industry ruled more by the head than the heart, absence can have a tendency to foster more forgetfulness than fondness.

Truly a sweet truck on the road, around-town or highway haulin’

Take, for example, a recent day-long stint in a Mercedes-Benz 2663 B-double combination, ostensibly to sample the features of the new GigaSpace cab and a swag of hi-tech options.

Obviously enough, the ’63 is the big boy of the Benz bunch and this exercise certainly wasn’t our first time at the helm of the flagship model since the Australian launch of the new generation Actros in 2016. Far from it, but it had been three years or more since our last run and with so many different makes and models driven in the interim, it’s easy to concede that a few fundamentals about the biggest Benz had slipped out of the memory bank.

Like just what a smooth, strong, comfortable and well-mannered machine it is, with arguably the most fuel-efficient

powertrain in the big bore class. True, it’s a high climb into the towering cab and lovers of lavishly large sleepers may well whine about the Benz bunk (even though it still ranks among the best in the continental class) but from behind the wheel, the driver’s den is ideally designed due in no small part to an information and control layout which, despite major concessions to the digital age, remains entirely practical and quickly familiar.

In function and finish, comfort and class, muscle and manners, there has been a lot to like about this current Benz crop right from the start, and not least in the two 16 litre ratings headed by the powerhouse 2663.

Yet there is, of course, more to the new range than these models alone and MercedesBenz’s rise on the heavy-duty sales charts in the first few years after the new line-up’s launch was no surprise to anyone who had done distance in any of the 11, 13 or 16 litre versions.

Moreover, after suffering a decade and more in the sales doldrums with the original Actros, Mercedes-Benz’s dark days

110

DOW 499 109-119 ND MB Muscle Memory.indd 110

10/11/2023 11:04 am

New DEALS

continued to dissolve into distant memory as the new breed steadily built a formidable reputation across the heavy-duty sector.

At the close of 2019, for instance, Benz had delivered a whisker under 1000 units, accounting for almost eight per cent of that year’s heavy-duty haul.

Yet the best was still to come. Despite the COVID crash of 2020, Mercedes-Benz’s stake increased to almost nine per cent, catapulting the brand to fourth place in the heavy-duty sector, bettered only by entrenched market masters Kenworth, Volvo and Isuzu. Then in 2021, the stars further aligned to not only retain Mercedes-Benz’s fourth spot on the heavy-duty ladder but also notch a new sales record for the brand with the delivery of more than 1200 trucks.

Golden days indeed.

But in 2022 the COVID calamity caught up with Mercedes-Benz and the timing could not have been worse as early results revealed the brand’s inability to take advantage of a breathtaking boom in truck sales. In stunningly quick time and despite an extremely popular model range,

Mercedes-Benz came off the boil.

It seemed the bullet performer of the previous few years had run out of ammo; which was, in effect, exactly what happened as supply lines from Europe imploded and Mercedes-Benz simply couldn’t meet the record-breaking rush for new trucks.

Ultimately, Benz finished the biggest year in Australian truck sales history with a modest 5.4 per cent of the sector from the delivery of 814 units.

No doubt making matters gallingly worse for those inside the Benz camp was the slide down to sixth place on the ladder, comfortably overtaken by Scania and a rocketing UD. The first six months of a similarly bountiful 2023 weren’t any better, with the brand notching just 5.2 per cent of the heavy-duty business on the delivery of 450 units and in the process sliding further down the ladder to seventh spot. Likewise, sales figures in the back half of this year haven’t done much to signal an imminent turnaround.

After such a strong start in the first five years of the new line-up’s life ‘Down Under’,

111

DOW 499 109-119 ND MB Muscle Memory.indd 111

10/11/2023 11:05 am

the slide to market mediocrity obviously hasn’t sat well and arguably enduring the angst, even annoyance, more than most is the vice president of Mercedes-Benz’s Australian operation, Andrew Assimo.

The biggest assets of the GigaSpace cab are more than two metres of standing room between the seats, considerably more storage space, a good driving layout and impressive build quality.

Simply, there’s a lot to like

Positive outlook The lanky, likeable Assimo is by his own definition, ‘a Benz tragic’. He lives and breathes the brand and his appointment to the top job at Mercedes-Benz in early 2020 (just as COVID kicked in) was widely welcomed and seen by many as a deserved reward for not only his passion and engineering knowledge of the product, but his staunch determination to fulfill the brand’s ultimate potential.

However, as the pandemic and subsequent commercial circumstance would soon enough decree, the executive honeymoon was short-lived and it is perhaps a strange and somewhat harsh irony that both Assimo and his predecessor Michael May, now managing director of Iveco Australia, are each equally intent on regaining lost ground

in the highly competitive heavy-duty market.

Still, it wouldn’t be overly tactless to suggest that Assimo has considerably more to work with than his former boss.

Nonetheless, and despite a largely cautious and conservative character, it’s a forthright Andrew Assimo who confesses frustration “to some extent” at the inability and disappointment of being unable to fulfill the brand’s potential in the booming markets of the past two years. “It has hurt,” he ruefully admits, acknowledging the impact on customers otherwise loyal to the Benz brand but effectively forced to shop elsewhere.

In the next breath though, it’s a blatantly upbeat Assimo who insists there are strong reasons for optimism, not least more fluid supply lines, high levels of ongoing demand for Mercedes-Benz trucks and the excitement of upcoming product developments.

Predictably, he was loath to define exactly what those upcoming product developments might be but remarked that further improvements to the “exceptional fuel

112

10/11/2023 11:05 am

New DEALS

efficiency” of Mercedes-Benz’s 13 litre and 16 litre models in particular will continue to underpin the brand’s growth.

Meanwhile, it’s no secret that MercedesBenz is also on the cusp of an extensive local test program of its eActros and eEconic battery electric models, and while Assimo asserts these emerging technologies will play an increasing role in the brand’s future, he is just as keen to emphasise diesel efficiency and performance as core factors in Mercedes-Benz’s ongoing growth prospects.

Yet whatever the power source, a determined Andrew Assimo insists that world-leading safety systems, along with advances in telematics and drivetrain components, will remain foundation stones of the Mercedes-Benz truck business, now and as far into the future as anyone cares to look.

As for the introduction of the GigaSpace cab to the Australian market, the reconfigured shed obviously provides a new flagship to the Benz fleet and in the

highly equipped demo model in this report, provided the platform to showcase some of the brand’s latest advances.

So, let’s go for a steer. Not far, but certainly far enough to be reminded of the reasons why Mercedes-Benz became one of the heavy-duty market’s star performers and despite diminished sales in recent times, unequivocally remains one of the best cabovers in the country.

New tech Giga! In Latin it means ‘big’. Really big. Huge.

Giant. Gigantic. Anyway, you get the picture.

Thus, it’s easy to understand why MercedesBenz’s marketing brains in Germany went for ‘GigaSpace’ to proclaim the merit of its newest and biggest cab development.

However, what those marketing maestros apparently didn’t appreciate or maybe even know is that Giga is also the name of an Isuzu heavy-duty truck which didn’t do particularly well in our neck of the woods.

Indeed, after a long but lacklustre Australian

113

DOW 499 109-119 ND MB Muscle Memory.indd 113

10/11/2023 11:05 am

career, Isuzu Australia quietly withdrew Giga from the local market a few years back and, without putting too fine a point on it, absence has most assuredly not made the heart grow fonder.

Fortunately, and gratefully, similarities between the German and Japanese heavies end at the name. For starters, MercedesBenz appears to have done a fine job with GigaSpace, creating more room with a notably higher roofline. As Benz puts it, ‘While the GigaSpace cab is taller, it is no longer than the standard Actros cab, maintaining its versatility regarding overall length regulations (and) features 2.13 metres of interior height, measured from the floor between the seats to the ceiling, providing ample room for the tallest drivers.’

Other benefits according to the corporate spiel include, ‘… increased storage with three

large cupboards built into the front of the truck, sitting above the windscreen. An optional microwave can be installed in the centre cupboard (and) these cupboards are in addition to the space under the bunk which can include two slide-out fridges’.

Yet with the cab retaining its existing dimension from front to back, GigaSpace uses the same 750mm wide fixed bed fitted to its other premium models. In no way, however, is that a bad thing because I’ve slept on enough of the locally-sourced inner-spring mattresses in Benz’s bigger cabs to know that comfortable sleep isn’t hard to achieve. What’s more, for two-up teams a fold-down upper bunk is optionally available.

Overall, there’s no denying the GigaSpace cab provides a worthwhile and perhaps overdue addition to the Mercedes-Benz

114

DOW 499 109-119 ND MB Muscle Memory.indd 114

10/11/2023 11:05 am

New DEALS

range, giving the brand a new benchmark in space and driver appeal while maintaining the high standards of build quality, comfort and practicality already established as fundamental features of Benz’s premium models. Just how much this optional benchmark adds to the price has, however, been difficult to deduce. Typically, price is a sensitive subject for all the market’s big players, rarely revealed for public perusal and obviously, Mercedes-Benz is no exception.

As already mentioned though, there was more to the 2663 demonstrator than the bigger cab, with Mercedes-Benz using GigaSpace to highlight some of its latest technology, particularly the second generation of its digital MirrorCam system.

Mercedes-Benz (or rather, Daimler) led the charge to replace traditional glass mirrors

with cameras and in this latest evolution the external camera ‘wings’ are 100mm shorter than before and vitally, come with claims for better resolution and low-light performance on the mirror screens mounted on the cab’s A-pillars.

Funny thing though, with the GigaSpace cab’s significantly higher stance and even smaller camera wings replacing Benz’s bulky glass mirror housings, the external view of the cab can appear slimmer than normal. It is, of course, an illusion because cab width is unchanged but MirrorCam’s negligible physical presence compared to traditional glass housings certainly validates the camera technology’s positive influence on aerodynamics and subsequently, fuel economy.

Furthermore, as Mercedes-Benz states, ‘Apart from reducing drag, the cameras also improve visibility by removing the traditional mirrors from the driver’s field of view.’ So true, particularly at roundabouts where the big glass mirror housings can significantly impede the driver’s vision of traffic approaching from the right.

Still, MirrorCam’s merits for B-double roles remain dubious and it’s hard to understand Mercedes-Benz’s reasoning for using the system in the GigaSpace B-double demonstrator.

Simply put, again, the convex view exaggerates the combination’s length which not only makes it more difficult to reverse accurately but further instills the thought that MirrorCam’s designers almost certainly did not have Australia’s unique B-doubles – or A-doubles for that matter – in mind when developing the technology. Indeed, even some Benz insiders quietly confess that modest uptake of the optional mirror system (priced from $3000 to $5000, depending on who you ask) has come from operators of single trailers or rigid trucks.

Other optional systems fitted to the GigaSpace 2663 were Predictive Powertrain

The replacement of large glass mirror housings with MirrorCam can give the cab the illusion of being slimmer than usual. But of course, it’s the same width and no question, MirrorCam improves aerodynamics

Control (PPC) and the latest version of Active Drive Assist technology. We’ve reported on both these systems before but here’s a quick recap starting with PPC which uses topographic map data and GPS to select the optimum shift pattern and engine output to maximise fuel economy.

As Mercedes-Benz states, PPC 'improves the way the engine and automated transmission are controlled to make the most economical choice of throttle application and gear selection.’

‘This could mean holding on to a gear rather than changing up just before the crest of a hill, or briefly selecting neutral to save fuel in the appropriate conditions.’

Along with storing topographical data of regular freight routes, PPC also memorises the contours of other roads travelled and further, ‘can be used in conjunction with

cruise control at speeds between 25 and 100km/h.’

As good as the system is though, and our experience has shown it to be extremely accurate, it’s also worth mentioning a trait which can, in some instances in cruise control, cause an anxious moment or two.

Instances like hauling up a long grade (let’s say, Conroy’s on the Hume) with another big banger hunting close behind. Anyway, as it’s designed to do, PPC ‘recognises’ the crest and in a bid to save fuel, backs off the throttle near the top before rolling down the other side.

Meantime, ol’ mate at the back door is still on full noise and when the Benz abruptly backs off, realises the gap to the trailer in front is closing very quickly. Suddenly baulked on his run to the top, it’s not long before an expletive-laden rant on the UHF defines some thoughts on this form of

MirrorCam inside and out.

Improvements have been made and the technology has definite attributes in aerodynamics and side vision over traditional glass mirrors. Still, the system’s merit for B-doubles is negligible

The GigaSpace demonstrator was fitted with rectangular fuel tanks engineered and produced in Germany specifically for the Australian market

Ample storage spaces and driver comforts are integral features of premium Mercedes-Benz models with the GigaSpace cab now adding another dimension

modern technology and in the real world of fast-paced linehaul work, it’s easy to understand the derision.

In such circumstances though, the easy and obvious alternative for the Benz driver is to simply put the pedal to the metal but then, that defeats the purpose of PPC. Catch 22!

Entirely different to PPC but no less advanced due to its creation largely for autonomous self-driving roles, Active Drive Assist uses an electric motor on the steering box in addition to standard hydraulic power steering to not only make steering easier, especially at low speeds, but to actively steer the truck and keep it in the centre of its lane.

Of course, the driver is still required to hold the steering wheel but in this second generation of a system which works in concert with the Lane Keeping Assist function, Benz says the system actually helps to steer the truck and prevent it getting out to the edge of the lane in the first place.

In effect, proactive rather than reactive, using cameras to monitor lane markings and

applying that ‘feedback’ to assist the electrohydraulic steering system.

Importantly though, particularly for overtaking or moving onto the road edge at the approach of a wide load, the driver is able to overrule the system by turning off the Lane Keeping Assist function at any time.

What’s more, this latest version has an ‘emergency stop’ function. If the driver fails to react to repeated and increasingly intense warnings to hold the steering wheel, the system will bring the vehicle to a standstill ‘by means of a moderate, automated application of the brakes’.

Clever technology, for sure, but are the extra complexity and cost of Active Drive Assist justified when considered against the reality that Mercedes-Benz’s steering and road handling attributes are first-rate in their standard form? Maybe, maybe not!

Either way, there’s no hesitation in declaring that the best part of this exercise was simply the truck itself. Indeed, the

highlight of a 500km return run from Velocity Trucks at Laverton on Melbourne’s western rim up to the Murray River at Echuca was the constant reminder of how strong, responsive, comfortable and extremely efficient the 2663 continues to be.

Grossing 62.5 tonnes and with just a few thousand kilometres under the belt of the 15.6 litre in-line six, the big Benz’s 630hp and 3000Nm (2213lb-ft) of torque was the epitome of quiet strength and smooth manners, notching 100km/h at a twitch over 1400rpm through the highly intuitive PowerShift 12-speed automated transmission and a 3.583:1 rear axle ratio.

As for fuel, well, the first thing to explain is that the test truck was apparently first in the country to be fitted with rectangular fuel tanks engineered and produced in Germany specifically for the Australian market.

In this combination, overall capacity was 1100 litres from a 370 litre tank on the right-

hand side and a 730 litre unit on the left with an integrated 110 litre AdBlue tank.

Meantime, diesel consumption of the GigaSpace 2663 was nothing short of outstanding at 1.89km/litre, or 5.33mpg in the old measure, according to the truck’s on-board trip computer. It’s not known how much AdBlue was consumed but if consumption is typically between five and eight per cent of fuel use, then it’s certainly a reasonable rate given the impressive fuel figure achieved on this run.

All up, it seems the only things stopping Mercedes-Benz from a return to the heydays of a few years back are enough trucks to satisfy demand and perhaps more critically, the effectiveness of sales and service people to unseat the competitors who stepped in and forged strong bonds with customers while Benz was on the back foot.

Whatever, with models like the top-shelf 2663 leading the way, it’s easy to assert that the least of Mercedes-Benz’s concerns are actually its trucks.

OF THE BEST

The Land Transport fleet has had plenty of Western Stars in it, but the company’s blue 6900 Constellation known as ‘Sunrise Ruby’ well and truly stands out from the crowd Words & Images | Warren Aitken 121

e are all a little guilty of reminiscing, daydreaming of a bygone era, whimsically recalling and longing for ‘the good old days’. Well, today’s story has ended up being pretty well driven by that premise. Celebrating the good old days with the good old trucks. I should point out though that that is not how the story was originally pencilled in. In fact, there never really was a story plan.

Even in the early morning fog the big 6900 casts an imposing presence

When I first laid eyes on this stunning big blue Western Star at the 2022 Casino Truck Show I just wanted to get it in front of my camera. No deeper meaning, no ulterior motives, it was all about the appeal of the big 6900. To quote the youth of today, the gigantic Star was ‘snatched’. For those of us who don’t vape, play Minecraft, or live life on TikTok that means ‘damn, that looks good’ and ‘damn, this Western Star looks good’.

Hence my goal was purely to get the truck in front of my camera.

Then I met the man behind the wheel, Ken Coupe. I also met the man behind the truck, Robert Land, and I also met the company behind the man that’s behind the Land Transport truck. Next thing I know I am

lacing up my workboots, jumping behind the wheel of another Land Transport truck and accompanying Ken across the paddock to Perth, just so I could score some cool photos of one of the last ever Western Star 6900s built.

Before I headed off with Kenny for the 10,000km round trip to the Western Australian capital, I sat down with the Robert, Land Transport’s national transport manager and eldest son of Land Transport’s founders Barry and Raewyn Land. I was extremely keen to learn the history of a company that has managed to evolve and adapt so well to the current climate in trucking, a climate ruled by regulations, restrictions, policies and procedures.

Land Transport has not just survived but thrived, while also managing to hold firm to a lot of the old school ideals and principles from the good old days of trucking.

The company, which now has around 70 linehaul vehicles, began nearly four decades ago and has become a leader in its field, with its modern fleet, cutting edge logistics management and highly qualified staff. Yet at the same time the work they do, the core

122

DOW 499 120-129 ND Lands Western Star.indd 122

10/11/2023 11:06 am

New DEALS

values of the staff and even their adherence to workday staff barbecues, reflects the pride they take in their old-school ways.

Land Transport is one of those few companies where everybody in every yard knows how to tarp down a load – and regularly do. They buy and spec trucks to suit not just certain roles but specific drivers.

Land Transport is a family-fuelled company that knows how to move any kind of freight and over the last 40 years has pretty much moved every kind of freight.

On a side note, when I mentioned everyone in every yard knows how to tarp, I wasn’t including myself. Technically I don’t count as I am a relief driver and, thankfully, I was given a tautliner to take to Perth. I take comfort in knowing there are so many tarping connoisseurs at Land Transport for next time though as my tarping skills are about as sharp as an undercooked chocolate cake.

“My dad and his mate Trevor Young started the company back in 1984,” Robert says, explaining that he was three years old at the time but already on his way to becoming a fully-fledged truckie. “I was just one when I did my first run in dads T-Line.”

The International T-Line wasn’t his dad’s actual truck. At that stage Barry and Trevor were both working for Ernie Loughlin in Toowoomba. It wasn’t until Robert was three that he said “goodbye” to the old T-line when an opportunity arose for Barry.

“Dad and Trevor decided to get their own trucks and have a go. They started Young & Land together but also had their own trucks under individual businesses. Dad was BJ & RI Land and Trev ran a truck under TJ & SD Young,” Robert explains.

A farming history At this stage of the interview Barry Land joined Robert and me, helping to paint a picture of the early days of Young & Land.

“In those days it was mainly machinery. A lot of the places are gone now but we used to do a lot of John Deere and stuff out of Dalby and that,” Barry recalls. “We started out with mainly Melbourne and Adelaide and then started doing Perth as well. We didn’t make a lot of money but we had a lot of fun.”

It is strangely fortuitous that the blue colour of the 6900 featured here is very similar to that of the truck that started the company off back in 1984.

The South Australian landscape is the perfect setting for a tough truck and they don’t get much tougher than Western Star 6900

Sunrise on ‘Sunrise Ruby.’

Ken’s standard setup sees him with a loaded flattop and a loaded drop deck with tarps to cover every load – just not this week

“The first truck was a Blue LNT9000,” Barry continues. “We had that for about three years then. It was about 1987 when we bought our first brand new truck – a red, white and blue Ford LTL. They were good trucks mate, they had the right-sized motor, 15-speed gearbox … they were a bulletproof truck. You couldn’t kill them.”

Barry and Trevor worked very closely together, running Young & Land as one of Queensland’s premier transport teams. As that company grew so did their individual companies.

“At first, I just had my truck. Then I’d buy a truck for a mate to drive, then another truck for another mate and eventually I bought a heap of trucks and no mates,” Barry laughs.

In 2008 Trevor and his wife Shirley decided retirement was a more appealing pursuit and sold out to Barry. The result of that was the end of Young & Land, TJ & SD Young, BJ & RI Land and the emergence of Land Transport.

“I didn’t set out to do what we’ve done, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. We’ve had our ups and downs, like everyone has.

But it just makes you stronger,” Barry says.

He also admits it has been the workers and customers that have made it all worthwhile, many of whom have been with the company for years and decades rather than days and weeks.

“We’ve been blessed with some of the best drivers in the world,” Barry admits. “We have 20-odd drivers that are over the 10-year mark. We’ve got one bloke here, Wayne Briskey, he’s 70 years old. Top bloke, we just gave him one of the new Macks and he was that excited he wouldn’t shut up. I had to wind the windows up on the ute and drive away just to stop him telling me about it.”

I did mention the family side of the business as well, didn’t I? That wasn’t a metaphorical statement either. There is a strong family feeling that runs through the place, from the can-do approach to taking on any and all sorts of freight, to the laid-back, having-a-laugh Friday barbecues at the depots.

There is also a strong family connection within the company. As mentioned, my guide through this story is eldest son Robert, who took on a diesel mechanic apprenticeship in order to kill time between leaving school and being ‘legally’ allowed to drive the trucks. Then there is the middle son Nathan who managed to escape the truck driving bug, but somehow got bitten by forkie fever and now runs the Toowoomba depot.

Then there is the youngest son Ben. Another of the infamous Land sons, but not just for the fact he runs a tight ship as manager of the Melbourne depot but also for

124

DOW 499 120-129 ND Lands Western Star.indd 124

the effort he puts into some pretty flash units that hit the road down in Victoria.

“If the old girl wasn’t sick of getting knocked up we’d have 10 boys,” Barry jokes. “One at each of the depots.”

Another trait of Land Transport that really affirms their family values is their commitment to the small rural towns around Queensland and NSW. They have depots in towns such as Moree, Dubbo, Tamworth and Wagga Wagga. From there they service a bundle of other local communities.

“We actually got an award for ‘Service to the Moree Community’ a couple of years back,” Barry says. “Many places have shut down in those country areas but we’ve kept going. There are also a lot of others who’ve built their businesses off the back of ours. If we don’t service somewhere there will be someone who does, and we work with them.”

Bit of everything Well that pretty much rounds up the report on Land Transport, now let us turn our attention to the whopping great Western Star that brought us here in the first place. The big blue behemoth that goes by the name of ‘Sunrise Ruby’.

‘Sunrise Ruby’ is a 2022 Western Star 6900.

The crème de la crème of what is now the extinct Western Star Constellation range.

It’s not the first Western Star in the Land Transport fleet and will be far from the last.

In fact, there was a time in Land Transport’s not-too-distant-past when the company was all Western Star. That is no longer the case, with the 70-odd interstate trucks now comprising of everything from Western Stars and Mercedes-Benz to Kenworths, Macks and Volvos.

These days truck purchases are based on job requirements more than brand affiliation.

Hence the arrival of not just ‘’Sunrise Ruby, but four other 6900s. “We buy the right trucks for the right jobs,” Robert says. “We buy the big trucks for the guys doing the big work, like Perth. The drivers can be in the trucks for weeks sometimes and we don’t want them feeling claustrophobic. They need to have room to relax and feel at home, because it is there home a lot.”

The 68-inch bunk and all the mod cons fitted to ‘Sunrise Ruby’ ensure driver Ken can happily equip himself for a long stint on the road. It also has another advantage that Ken loves. “It’s too big to go do any of the east coast work,” Robert adds.

I am sure many of you have picked up the name of the truck by now but in case anyone missed it I shall repeat it – ‘Sunrise Ruby’. This is a reflection of the lovely young lady that had a helping hand in the setup of

The Land Transport team has trucks for all situations.

My journey across the paddock was in another specialist truck, the company’s Genie K200, specced out for one of their regular customers

The bonus of the big bunk and all the amenities is wherever Ken runs out of hours, he can happily make it a home

this marvellous machine, Robert’s daughter Ruby.

“When we bought these trucks, we wanted to do something different,” Robert says. “We’d had trucks in different colours before we went to the corporate colours back in 06 and 07, and we thought with these being the end of an era for Western Star, we wanted to do something with each one.

“I wanted to do the first one up for Ruby. I sat down with her and the swatch chart and she chose the colours.”

When it came to the design work though, Robert chose to call in a mate who knows how to make a truck look good, Jon Kelly. I would like it noted, I agree Jon can design a cool looking truck and with this Star he has nailed it again. But I would still be interested to see what an eight year old Ruby would have come up with.

What stands out with this particular 6900, even compared to the others which arrived, is the simplicity of it. It’s not over the top with lights or stainless. “I wanted to keep it fairly close to how the original old school trucks

looked,” Robert says. “Jon is a good mate and he helped me plan it out. We sent it off to Damo at Masterart Designs to paint it all up and then it went back to Jon’s place to get the extras added. But not too much.”

Those extras included getting Cliff Brown from Pro Truck Electrical to add a few extra lights, as well as getting the team from Rocklea Truck Electrical to wrap all the tanks. Some subtle stainless extras were added just to finish off the authentic look Robert was after.

As for the addition of a fully carpeted floor, well that’s just a touch of luxury for the big 6900. “The truck came with all the boxes ticked anyway,” Robert says. “We order all our Western Stars through my uncle Scott at Pengelly Trucks. He knows exactly what we want.”

The truck was rolled off the boat in March 2022 and debuted a couple of months later at the Casino Truck Show. The one advantage of wanting to keep it simple and tidy was that, with the exception of the paintwork, it was a fairly quick process to get it on the road.

128

We can’t wrap it up without looking to the man that holds the keys to the kingdom, Ken Coupe. Ken has been with Land Transport for over five years and his dedication to his craft and his pedantic approach to looking after the trucks that were thrown his way had been duly noted by those in the office. Therefore, once Robert had signed the paperwork on the truck, dedicated to his own daughter, it was Ken who was asked to take the keys.

“I’d never really driven any Stars,” Ken admits. “I’d had one 4800 for a bit when I started at Land but really I was Kenworth man. Then I got one of the Macks to do Perth and it was like a Rolls Royce. So, when I got asked to take the Star, I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t going backward. I definitely wasn’t. I love it. Not much of a turning circle on a 6900 but it’s a paddock truck. It’s great for out here.”

Ken’s regular run sees him with a couple

of flat-top trailers in tow and carting anything from brand new trucks or stateof-the-art machinery, to palletised freight or dangerous goods. The truck has now clocked up its first quarter of a million kilometres and is just getting better and better.

As far as summarising this story, well all I originally wanted was a couple of nice shots of this striking 6900. My trip to Perth alongside king Kenny provided that. It also reaffirmed the family values and old school adage that has helped Land Transport in its journey.

Our trip had a few hiccups, but we found ways to fix them. It had a few hold ups, we didn’t stress, ‘get there when you get there’, and our trip was packed full of characters.

Happy motoring, Stino, Ross, Ricky, big Ed … to name but a few. All in all, the Western Star 6900 may be the end of an era, but the Land Transport era is just getting warmed up.

The Western Star’s interior never changed much through the Constellation range, but then it didn’t need to. It’s a setup that offers plenty of room, even enough for the Land Transport custom fridge

Weld Australia has launched a new suite of learning resources for the Manufacturing and Engineering Training Package

Clean sweep

Hydrogen at ’em Hydrogen fuel cell power generators will be built in Australia and sold locally under a new deal between Toyota Australia and EODev Hydrogen generators are set to hit the local market, after Toyota Australia signed a manufacturing deal with French developer Energy Observer Developments (EODev).

Toyota will invest $3.3 million to assemble up to 100 generators over the next three years at its former manufacturing facility in the Melbourne suburb of Altona.

The 110 kVa GEH2 stationary hydrogen fuel cell power generators will use the same system as is in the Toyota Mirai fuel cell electric vehicle, which the manufacturer says provides zero emissions of either fine particles, carbon dioxide or nitric oxide.

Toyota plans to distribute both the locally assembled and fully built generators in Australia through retail partner Blue Diamond Machinery and will also sell them to Toyota New Zealand.

As the market develops, additional models with higher power supply will be considered for assembly and distribution in Australia, the company says.

EODev CEO Jérémie Lagarrigue says the agreement represents a milestone for the French company, being the first time its GEH2 power generator will be assembled outside of its production facility in France.

“The GEH2 generator has been in production since 2021 and is currently sold across several European markets, in North America, in the Middle East, and in Australia.

We see a fast-growing potential for its use in this part of the world” he says.

(l-r) Toyota Australia president and CEO Matthew Callachor, BDM director Justin Pitts, EODev CEO Stephane Jardin, BDM director Brad Pitts, Toyota New Zealand corporate manager – direct sales & new business, new vehicles Terry Lydon

“We are pleased to have the support of Toyota Australia in being able to assemble the generators locally, which will enable more customers to access this clean technology and help reduce noxious emissions from local power generation.”

Toyota demonstrated the potential for the EODev GEH2 hydrogen fuel cell generator last year when it was used to power the giant neon sign at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne during an AFL match, and again earlier this year at the Melbourne F1 Grand Prix where it powered six marquees in the tech hub over four days.

Potential applications for the GEH2 power generator include powering remote off-grid sites such as mining sites, construction sites, BEV charging sites, as well as events.

The GEH2 generator can also be used to provide emergency backup power for hospitals, commercial buildings and anywhere where stable power supply is required.

“This agreement signed today is not about a trial or pilot program, it is about concrete action that will improve Australian businesses’ access to stationary hydrogen fuel cell generators and help them reduce their carbon footprint,” Toyota Australia president and CEO Matthew Callacho says.

Commercial cleaning products company i-Team ANZ will distribute the Orbot machinery range in Australia and New Zealand A suite of new learning resources for Weld Australia’s Manufacturing and Engineering (MEM) Training Package has been praised by industry groups, it says.

The 12 welding and fabrication units of competency were developed together with a national consortium of TAFEs over the past two years to produce resources that are engaging and up to date, built with students, teachers and training organisations in mind.

Available completely online and accessible via phone, mobile device or computer, the resources boast a userfriendly interface, diversified delivery methods, and audited and accurate material.

Weld Australia CEO Geoff Crittenden says that a national industry needs national learning resources.

“Whether you’re an apprentice in Kalgoorlie, Ultimo or Davenport, you should have access to the same, highquality training,” he says.

“Our resources help simplify the learning process for students, teachers and training institutes and – most importantly –place the student at centre of the learning process.”

South Metropolitan TAFE in Fremantle, Western Australia, was the first training organisation to facilitate an official pilot.

The feedback received from students and lecturers alike was extremely positive.

Executive director – engineering, transport and defence at South Metropolitan TAFE Jonathon Maile says being able to link with Weld Australia and other TAFEs improved training outcomes, with a better consistency from a technical perspective Australia-wide.

“It has improved our focus on digitisation and e-learning, and the increased the flexibility of how we deliver,” he says.

“If apprentices miss classes, they can access the resources and catch up a lot more quickly.”

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.
