Editor's NOTE

Welcome Welcome to the 500th edition of Deals on Wheels magazine!

This month marks the next evolution of a magazine that celebrates the marvellous array of machines that make up Australia's transport and trucking industry.

From its beginnings way back in 1985 as a one stop shop for the sale of secondhand trucks, Deals on Wheels has been centred on bringing buyers and sellers together in their trucking journey.

Whether it’s been buying a new truck to add to the fleet, a first truck to get started in deliveries, or as a tool to help a tradie carry all the gear they need each day on site, Deals on Wheels has been there.

For the enthusiasts, those with a love of iconic brands such as Kenworth, Mack, Fiat, Ford, Isuzu, Scania, Freightliner or Peterbilt - to name a few - it’s been a treasure chest of opportunity, where new projects can be

found and restoration dreams turned to reality.

We’re keen to celebrate you, our readers, and to shine a spotlight on your projects, the events you attend and the work you do with the trucks and machines we showcase for 13 editions a year.

A recent weekend spent at the Castlemaine Rotary Truck Show was a timely reminder of the community spirit that exists among the drivers, owners and enthusiasts in the trucking industry. We were proud to partner with the show's organisers and have full coverage inside.

I hope you enjoy this month’s edition and would love to have your feedback at geoff.crockett@primecreative.com.au Geoff

News BRIEFS

Fatigue laws in the crosshairs The Australian Trucking Association (ATA) has called for simpler work diaries, sensible enforcement, fairer penalties and greater safety for small trucks in a submission related to proposed reforms of the Heavy Vehicle National Law. Responding to consultation statement from the National Transport Commission, ATA chair David Smith says the current rules for recording work and rest hours are

an unnecessary stress on good, safe drivers.

“The rules for filling in work diaries are a confusing maze. There are 27 pages of instructions. There is no tolerance for mistakes,” Smith says.

Smith says fatigue enforcement also needed to be changed.

“The submission argues that there should be a 14-day limit on the timeframe for issuing fatigue-related offences at the roadside, because

DOWHH-5202923-TS-476

Have a very safe Christmas The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) has partnered with some Australian icons for the ‘We ALL Need Space’ campaign, to promote safely sharing the road with heavy vehicles this holiday season.

Famous faces who jumped onboard include comedian Jimmy Rees, ex rugby league player Sam Thaiday, country music artist James Blundell (pictured above), Outback Truckers star Glenn Kendall and truck driver Casuarina Smith.

The campaign comes after a recent study conducted by the NHVR surveying 1000 drivers across Australia, found that half of motorists (51 per cent) experience anxiety or nervousness when driving near heavy vehicles.

The We All Need Space campaign focuses on simple yet vital safety tips: don’t overtake trucks, caravan etiquette, and encouraging light vehicle drivers to remember that trucks have much larger blind spots and need more space to stop.

old work diary breaches are not an immediate safety risk,” he says.

“An enforcement officer should be able to issue a warning for an understandable breach such as a driver avoiding a rest area due to concerns about their personal safety or working an extra half hour to get home at the end of a trip.”

While drivers of smaller trucks are excluded from the current truck driver fatigue laws under the assumption long working hours and fatigue were less of a problem for these drivers, the ATA says this assumption is wrong.

“There is a strong case for extending fatigue regulation to cover all trucks, although there should continue to be a work diary exemption for drivers doing local work,” he says.

Other topics covered in the consultation document relate to truck length and height, with the ATA supportive of a change from 19m to 20m length for trucks and asking that B-double lengths to be extended too, from 26m to 27m.

NHVR CEO Sal Petroccitto says it is apparent that there are gaps in motorists’ knowledge and the campaign aims to encourage people to educate themselves so both motorists and truck drivers reach their destination safely.

“During the festive season, we see an increase in road traffic and, unfortunately, accidents, so our We ALL Need Space campaign is our response, aiming to educate and remind everyone of the importance of sharing the road with heavy vehicles,” Petroccitto says.

“Our truck drivers are the real Santa Clauses of Australia, tirelessly working during the holidays to ensure our gifts are delivered and our supermarkets are stocked.

“It’s important to remember that roads are their workplace and to treat them with respect. They play a crucial role in our festive spirit and economy, so we must ensure their safety and ours.”

Christmas

ROLLS INTO ADELAIDE

Deals on Wheels speaks to the key people behind the brilliantly decorated fire truck that led proceedings at 2023's Adelaide Christmas Pageant

The merry scenes of the Christmas Pageant never fail to light up the streets of Adelaide.

Each year, South Australia’s capital comes together to mark the beginning of the holiday season with ‘floats’, bands and performances as far as the eye can see.

If you start your camp at midnight the previous day, you might even get some of the best seats in the house. This year, the parade leader was turning heads not just for its stunning presentation, but also its important message.

The Adelaide Metropolitan Fire Service (MFS) and the SA government’s Office for Autism partnered to present the ‘Hidden Disabilities’ fire truck, with the primary aim to start the conversation about the prevalence of autism in the community.

A fully active fire truck from the fleet was wrapped in a brilliant bright green pattern with the Hidden Disabilities sunflower dotted all over it. Recognised as an international symbol of autism, it’s hard not to see the sunflower-covered truck coming around the corner, with lights blaring and sirens wailing.

SA assistant minister for autism Emily

Bourke has been at the forefront of the Office for Autism since its inception in 2022. It acts as an advisory body to the state government on all legislative matters related to autism.

One in four families are affected by autism in some way, she says. The collaboration with the MFS came about in an effort to increase the visibility of both the Hidden Disabilities initiative, and raise awareness for the work that is being done within the South Australian community.

“The MFS community was advocating that we need to be raising awareness of hidden disabilities,” Bourke tells Deals on Wheels.

“Through the work we were doing at the Office for Autism in creating policy to take down some of the barriers the autistic community are facing, they reached out and said they’d be happy to do something with one of their fire trucks.

“We were able to find a way forward and said Hidden Disabilities is something we’d really like to be promoting in South Australia, so that we can be having that conversation.

It’s really important that we can have the sunflower symbol in front of a family event that everyone loves.

“It was the very first float to lead the Pageant, and a really good symbol of what we’ve been able to achieve in South Australia.

I’ve had people contact us and say they got quite emotional seeing the fire truck at the beginning.

“For those that weren’t quite sure what it meant, it starts a conversation for the community who aren’t quite sure what a hidden disability is as well. We had two great wins there.”

The MFS says it is extremely proud to be a part of the initiative, especially in such a visible way. The prestigious honour of leading the Pageant is certainly not lost on CEO Michael Morgan.

A member of the MFS for nearly 39 years, he says that community outreach has become more important than ever for the organisation. In 2016, the organisation decked out one of its trucks in bright pink, for breast cancer awareness.

Using a fully operational truck, which Morgan says “could be anywhere in Adelaide at the moment” for the event and beyond makes supporting the Hidden Disabilities initiative even more important for the MFS. “Fire trucks are very visible, they’re easy to see with the lights and sirens – they attract a lot of attention. It was a great opportunity to use a fire truck,” he says.

“It’s one of the vehicles we use not only in the CBD, but the outer suburbs as well. Even the other day I was coming back from a meeting, and I was stuck at the lights. I could see the two trucks coming around Victoria Square.

“It really looked fantastic seeing it go past with lights flashing and sirens wailing. I was in uniform so I could see people looking at the truck then looking at me like ‘what is that?’

“I love being part of projects like this

where we can use our presence to promote worthwhile things. For me, it’s a natural synergy. The work we do as firefighters and emergency services is community focused, and this is just another opportunity for us to be able to utilise that understanding.”

The other big part of the Pageant for the MFS was the chance to host an open day.

Morgan says the amount of people passing by headquarters on Wakefield Street provided a natural opportunity.

This year, with the partnership for Office for Autism, there was a focus on the messages behind the Hidden Disabilities initiative. The fire station provided sensory rooms for anyone who may need them, while Office for Autism workers were around to provide assistance.

With a focus on education and awareness, Morgan believes it was a brilliant success.

“Often if you look at a fire station anywhere in the world, they’re quite imposing buildings. We really focus now on community engagement around safety messaging, particularly with young people,” he explains.

“It’s an opportunity for people to come up to firefighters and ask questions about the trucks. We’re really proactive about trying to engage with our community at different levels – schools, kindergartens, senior schools. The truck really is one of those really good drawcards to have conversations around that.

“We’ve literally got thousands of people coming into the fire station, and it’s a little chaotic at first. We have fire trucks, displays, we cut up motor vehicles to recreate road crash rescue, abseiling from the tower, urban search and rescue dogs. It’s a big day.

“To be able to have that area was a really good connection into the whole day.”

Trailblazing TRAILERS

When it comes to finding the right trailer at the right price to suit all manner of freight tasks the teams at Bullet Trailers, Patriot Trailers and UTA Trailers have you covered

A Bullet drop deck trailer hooked up and ready to go

Australian made and built vacuum trailers are a specialty for Patriot Trailers

Race car driving mechanical engineer John Adams is well and truly invested in helping his road transport customers find the right trailer, at the right price, to suit their individual needs.

As a founder and partner in Bullet Trailers, Patriot Trailers and UTA Trailers, Adams has spent nearly two decades honing a strategic approach to the provision of trailer technology to the Australian market.

Adams’ trailer journey started when he was working in a different role.

“I was the Victorian HDT dealer – I used to restore and maintain all the Brocky’s,” Adams says.

“I used to design all the performance car parts and what not. I had workshops for 15 years.

“Then I was doing performance car parts – and I fell into trailers – the guy I was getting my wheels off brought over a trailer and said can you sell that?”

When Adams took the Chinese-made trailer to market in Australia, it sold quickly, and it became clear there was demand there for trailers at a lower price point.

After a stint supplying the trailers to other

businesses, Adams went out on his own and the UTA brand was born about 15 years ago.

It has continued to evolve as the team source a variety of trailer styles from Chinese businesses and bring them here, including drop decks, water tankers, side tippers and log trailers.

“The Chinese trailers come with a two-year warranty. They’re good quality at a lower price point,” Adams says.

“They’re popular with people like farmers, who need a trailer but know they’ll only use it a few times a year and don’t want to spend too much on them.”

Aiming to cater for all parts of the market Adams and his partners, who share race engineering and mechanical backgrounds, continued to listen to their customers and created a second brand, Bullet Trailers about 10 years ago to hit the middle range of the market.

Like many automotive businesses they looked to Asia for manufacturing and set up a factory in Thailand capable of building the designs they design and patent in Australia to meet the demands of transport operators.

The cost of manufacturing in Thailand is 20 to 30 per cent lower than building the trailers here, which Adams says has enabled the business to build high quality trailers and sell them at a mid-level price.

At the upper end of the market the new Patriot Trailer brand offers custom trailers designed and built here in Australia to meet particular needs of customers. Among the current trailers under production by the Patriot team are vacuum tankers and extendable skels.

In terms of the average pricing across the brands, a UTA drop deck will set you

back $75k + GST, a Bullet drop deck is $109k plus GST, with six currently available, and the custom-made Patriot trailers are priced on application based on the level of engineering and designed required to meet the individual needs of the customer. As an example, one particularly specialised vacuum tanker recently produced by Patriot came in at $200k + GST. Customers can pick up their trailers from the yards in Queensland and Victoria, or have them delivered to their door. The Chinese trailers come with a two-year warranty – Bullet and Patriot trailers come with a three-year warranty.

“All of our Australian trailers designs are patented,” Adams says. “In our vacuum tankers, the chassis and the tanker are incorporated in one unit – and suspension bolts to that – it’s very light weight and very strong. We try and innovate and patent certain things so that we’re achieving light TARE weight, but really strong as well.”

Adams says the businesses are run without debt and, particularly with the UTA and Bullet Trailer brands, the aim is to have a steady flow of stock on hand to help customers who pick up a contract and need a trailer “now”.

As the trailer businesses have grown, so has the need for factory and storage space.

Right now, the brands operate out of a custom-built facility in Warwick in Queensland and another hub at Boneo in Victoria.

In 2024, the Victorian branch will be moving to a new location just off Hallam Road in Hallam, in a move that will allow the Bullet operations to co-locate with the transport and workshop operations of Bullet’s business partner John O’Keeffe who has a large and varied fleet of trucks and trailers.

Adams chose Warwick in Queensland for the other location for the business based partly on its access to the market further north, and the lower cost of commercial space, but mostly because of the local racetrack.

Bullet Trailers’ sponsors the Ford GTHO, number #55, race car in the Touring Masters competition where Adams can be found behind the wheel racing for glory. A recent sixth place at Bathurst suggests the move is paying off.

Adams say he was introduced to the Touring Masters category by good mate John Bowe a few years ago and found he gets a real kick out of the challenge of driving and working with his team to have the car in the best shape possible for each race.

“Now I earn money building trailers and spend it on the race car,” he jokes.

Adams says the businesses are managed

by a key group of about 10 people in Australia, with decades of experience as engineers and mechanics across a range of industries.

“Larry’s an engineer, I’m an engineer, Scotty’s a race car engineer,” he says.

There are also about 20 staff at the Bullet Trailers factory in Thailand.

As for what’s next, Adams says Bullet Trailers is in the process of building 100 drop deck trailers which will ensure a steady flow of stock in Australia.

Patriot Trailers, the newest brand, is focusing on building two vacuum tankers.

The tankers take about four months to construct. A custom-made drop deck takes about two to three months.

DEALS Opinion

TECHNICAL

talk

Changing with the times doesn’t always come easy Reports about the take-up of technology by Australian businesses are prolific. One report by a management company in the wake of the pandemic recently caught my eye.

It said that more than 70 per cent of Australian transport and logistics companies invested in new technology during COVID-19, but 98 per cent of their employees reported facing technical difficulties.

Noting that the report was about the broad logistics sector, and not just the heavy vehicle segment, it made some telling points.

Forty per cent of employees said they lost at least three to four hours each week due to system downtime leading to delays in the freight task.

That strikes me as a situation where people are working for the technology and not the technology working for them.

About 30 per cent said the main culprit was a lack of IT support to address mobile device downtime issues, or an absence of self-serve applications that allow drivers to diagnose and troubleshoot device issues independently while they are on the road.

Experienced operators will tell you, as good as on-board systems monitoring can be, there’s no substitute for thorough, handson safety checks before a truck leaves a depot.

I’m also not sure whether many small operators have ready access to technical IT expertise at the drop of a hat.

Other factors producing downtime were a lack of up-to-date information being shared across all systems (28 per cent) and systems not being upgraded frequently enough (40 per cent).

Our industry is fairly set in its ways and traditionally does not adopt new technology with open arms.

One reason, even recognised by regulators,

is that current Heavy Vehicle National Law does not encourage innovation.

Another is that most road transport operators are self-employed or only have a handful of employees. The cost and time involved in keeping vehicles on the road while complying with the demands of red tape means upgrading technology is sometimes an afterthought.

Most industries are naturally resistant to change. We all prefer to stick with familiar processes and equipment if we think a learning curve will be steep.

And then there’s a general distrust of unfamiliar technologies.

NatRoad has consistently held the view that new technology is generally a good thing if it makes the freight task safer or more efficient. We also recognise privacy concerns relating to technology are often valid, and truck drivers value the independence, and control, they have over their work schedules and routes.

Innovations like Electronic Work Diaries make sense provided regulations for use of their data are in place to prevent misuse.

Technology is a no-brainer if it reduces business costs, encourages safer behaviour, or stops someone from taking shortcuts.

The common thread with managing any change is the need to be prepared.

If you’re a business operator intending to put in a new system, it makes sense to ensure your employees are properly consulted and that they embrace the process.

Good change management means also having adequate support in place so that the people you’re asking to adopt the technology know you have their back.

On that note, I’d like to wish you all a happy and safe Christmas and a resilient New Year.

New technology is generally a good thing if it makes the freight task safer or more efficient

he rain stayed away and the trucking community came out to play at the HHA and Larsen’s Castlemaine Rotary Truck Show on the last weekend in November.

The oval was alive with a range of supplier stalls and displays, food truck offerings,kid's rides and the annual fundraising auction

The event marked the 35th time the show has been held in Castlemaine, bringing together truck enthusiasts from all over Australia for two days of family fun and truck spotting.

There was something for everyone on the truck side from classic Kenworths and Macks to slick looking Scania’s and a brand new DAF. All up there were 265 trucks entered for judging, and about 40 more that came along to be part of the show, which was attended by a crowd of more than 3,000 people.

More than 30 trophies were handed out on the day across a wide array of categories, with Truck of the Show going to the Cornwill Transport team for a stunning 2022 Kenworth Legend SAR.

The charity auction held on Sunday raised $4670 to be added to the overall funds raised from the weekend that are put towards supporting welfare and community groups and youth scholarships.

The crowds were well looked after with an array of food stalls and live music from Craig Lloyd, Peter Coad & The Coad Sisters, The Jim Hermel Band, Sandee Facy and Robert Urban and Adey Jordan.

There was also a truck driving simulator, popular with the youngsters, and Latrobe Health were along offering free heart health checks to anyone interested in giving it a go.

Another first for the truck show was the collection of cans, stubbies and plastic bottles to raise money for the environment.

With four cubic metres’ worth collected over two days, it’s likely to cover the cost of waste collection for the event with money left to support an environmental cause.

Handing out the Truck of the Show trophy on Sunday HHA’s Jon Kelly paid tribute to all

The latest model Mack turned more than a few heads at the Mack stand

of the drivers who had brought their trucks along for the event.

He said judging had been tough across all of the categories and the Truck of the Show had been won by just one vote from two other contenders.

Castlemaine Rotary president Kerry Anderson said the show had been a huge success, made possible by the contributions of more than 150 volunteers and strong support by its sponsors.

“We simply can’t run an event of this magnitude on our own. For every volunteer hour contributed we donate to the volunteer’s community group. It’s a wonderful example of how a community can come together to do good,” Kerry says.

The coveted Truck of the Show winner this year was crafted by the Cornwill brothers behind Cornwill Transport as a tribute to their Grandpa.

They took a 2022 Kenworth Legend SAR and added a range of retro touches including a stainless sun visor more in line with the 80s look of the trucks.

Inside it’s a work of art, with a custom floor and a photo of their grandad nestled at the base of the centre console.

Ricky, who collected the trophy on behalf of his brothers Troy and Wayne, said the family, which is based out of Bannockburn, near Geelong, had come to the Castlemaine Truck Show for nearly 30 years and it was great to be involved again and to go home with a trophy or two.

Castlemaine Rotary president and truck show director Kerry Anderson said the show had been a great family event with plenty of activities for everyone including live music, food, rides, and a truck driving simulator that was popular with the next generation of drivers.

She said the oldest truck entered this year was 97 years old, the average age of the trucks entered was 15 years and the average number of kilometres topped one million per truck.

“In total the trucks had travelled more than 240 million kilometres and there was 120,500hp on the ground – that’s a lot of trucks!”

“What I really love about this event is how it brings the trucking industry and community together,” Kerry says.

“Even during the COVID lockdowns we continued to celebrate the incredible service truckies provide to our community and the pride they have in their trucks.

“At the same time we also bring the community together, as volunteers and as spectators, to provide an enjoyable family day out.”

DENI

Trucks and truck lovers were out in force at Deniliquin

The event drew a healthy variety of trucks from across a wide area

Trucks lined up for the chance to win Truck of the Show

The peaceful town of Deniliquin was rocked with exhaust as trucks rolled in for the Rotary Club of Deniliquin’s Deniliquin Truck Show and Industry Expo across the last weekend of October.

After a three-year hiatus forced by the pandemic and flooding, the event proved that good things come to those who wait.

Founder and president of the show John Creenaune says this was their biggest crowd yet, with around 1500 attendees.

“This was definitely our biggest year, we just had people coming from all over,” he says.

“We had trucks from as far away as Wagga, Brisbane, South Australia and Kyneton. It was amazing.”

Before the trucks duked it out for the top spot in judging, a gala dinner with over 200

people was held to recognise inspiring and hardworking members of the transport industry.

Three Wall of Fame recipients have been named each year since the first induction in 2016, with the past two years honoured on the Friday.

Stan Gardiner, Edwin Carter and Kevin Gough were to be inducted in 2022, but the celebrations were cancelled because of flooding in the district.

This year’s inductees were Herbert Gladstone Grimison, David Mahon and Kenneth Maher.

“The support for the Wall of Fame has been incredible. People respond to it really well and it’s so important for the community,” says Creenaune.

“Our mission is to highlight, celebrate,

commemorate and memorialise those locals who are and have been our local transport industry.”

As Saturday was blessed with 25-degree weather and not a drop of rain, the Racecourse bred competitiveness, with prizes up for grabs across 13 different categories.

With strong corporate support, along with representation from industry bodies, the event drew a healthy variety of trucks from across a wide area.

The trip from northern Victoria proved a success for Kyle Nichol, who took out the coveted ‘Truck of the Show’ with his recently restored 1990 Kenworth K100E cabover.

Itching for Kyle’s spot was Peter Cullen’s Kenworth W925 who took out runner up.

McNaught’s Finley was awarded best fleet while R&J Marsh Haulage’s Volvo FH16 snuck away with Best Non-American.

Macheda Transport’s Kenworth SAR was a multiple award winner, including taking home the baby truck (0-3 Years) category.

Meanwhile Best Farm Truck went to Andrew Hicks’ White 9000, and Bill Gray TPT’s Kenworth T950 stole the 4-9 Years.

Scott McSweeney took out the 40 years+ category with his 1967 Peterbilt 351.

Sam and James Armytage of Conargo were awarded Best Local Truck for their

Kenworth C509 while Nichol Trading’s Kenworth K100E took home best 26-39 Years.

The best teen truck (10-25 Years) was awarded to none other than Benny’s Transport’s stunning Kenworth T909.

Vice-president of the show Evan Whitbourne says this expo is the pinnacle of a family event.

“We try to promote it as a family event, and it was nice to see so many locals show up and support it,” he says.

“There really is something for everyone here.”

The little ones were well catered for with an animal nursery, rides and kids craft area to keep them entertained.

Industry exhibition stands were a driving force of the success, showcasing all the latest technologies, gadgets, and industry-designed products.

“The trade sites and sponsors are the ones who make this all possible for us. Without them, we wouldn’t have the show. They always look after us,” says Whitbourne.

Both organisers say the highlight of the weekend was seeing old friends and having the time to catch up.

“An event like this brings the industry together. It brings the old and the new and it brings them all together at one event,” says Whitbourne.

He says there were so many people who didn’t see each other enough or didn’t realize how much time had passed.

“Next time, we need to give the crowd more time to mix and mingle a bit, especially at the dinner.”

Creenaune says he even had his own runin with some long-lost mates.

“There was a mate there who I hadn’t seen for 20 years myself. He decided to come to the show and didn’t even know I was the one running it.

“I went up to him and said do you remember me? Thankfully he replied ‘I do’, and it was the most amazing moment.

“Without this event, who knows when I would’ve seen him? Probably never.

“There were so many emotions from so many people at the event, it was just unbelievable.”

Creenaune says they can’t wait for next year, with plans of making the show bigger and better.

“We organised something here and people loved it.”

He says they have a “strong and dedicated committee that plan year-round to make each year's show is a brilliant success”.

y or t s i h g n i k c u r T ROCKS AND ROLLS

Yarra Glen Racecourse was abuzz with car, truck and bus lovers on Sunday, November 12

Lindsay McKenzie & Fred Wicking – Kilmore East

Fine weather and solid crowds helped to make the 42nd Historic Commercial Vehicle Club Display Day at Yarra Glen Racecourse in Yarra Glen, Victoria, a great success on November 12.

Old style rock and roll rang out from the main stage of the venue as those with a passion for the pa st shared their projects with each other and a general public keen for a day out in the sun and fascinated by the variety of cars, trucks and buses on show.

The event was supported by the Chrysler Restorers Club Display Day, along with the Classic and Historic Automobile Club of

Australia, Oldsmobile and Buick Car Clubs.

Exhibitors had rolled in during the early mornings, or camped overnight, for the chance to share their vehicles with others.

Truck lovers were treated to wide range of brands including Mack, Kenworth, Diamond T, Fiat, White, Scania, Commer, Federal and more.

For some, like semi-retired auto electrician Kevin Baker, the event was a chance to share their expertise and offer restorers advice and original parts to help them with their builds.

Surrounded by boxes of carefully numbered parts and massive books of car

and truck models and their component listings, Kevin’s stand was a popular destination on the day.

For David Hall and Mark Daglish attending the show was a chance to get together and take a walk down memory lane.

Lindsay McKenzie and his mate Fred Wicking made the trek to Yarra Glen from Kilmore in Lindsay’s cab over Kenworth which started its life hauling steel and is still working to this day.

Lindsay says the truck has caught the eye of a few judges at truck shows over the years thanks to its original condition and the fact it’s still getting work done.

For Russell Ashley of Ashley Transport the show was a chance to bring his White Roadboss down from Jindivik in Victoria for the day and share the White history with the truck lovers out there.

Russell’s fleet includes a 531 Diamond T, SP9 White and a few cabover TranStars – reflective of his love of old school trucks that

are just a little bit different.

Country born and bred diesel mechanic Brendan Beams trekked from his 20 acre piece of paradise near Bendigo in an old Fiat truck to catch up with friends and share his latest project with the historic truck community.

Beams, or Beamsy as he’s known, has two sheds full of older trucks on his property.

He says they are vehicles he’s acquired or been gifted over decades in the industry, that have caught his eye for the challenge they represent in bringing them back to life mechanically.

On the Fiat he’s brought to the show, Beamsy is happy to point out the work that’s gone into restoring and rebuilding the braking system that meant the truck was up to the 3.5 hour drive to Yarra Glen.

The event showcased a wide array of historic commercial vehicles of all shapes and sizes, and planning is already underway for 2024

tastic FanFORD

What started as a tidy up, wound up as a complete rebuild of this classic 1987 Ford LTL. Kayla Walsh writes

The truck after a lot of love from Underwood

this sort of truck’, the truck I have now is that bloody close to it you wouldn’t notice the difference,” he said.

“We kept the lights traditional, we kept a lot of things traditional.

“I spent more than I budgeted, but that covered new tyres, new batteries, everything.

“I’m really happy with how it’s turned out, it’s gone over and above what I ever expected.”

Underwood bought the truck second-hand for about $30k, with the idea to “tidy it up a bit”, but he ended up taking the project a lot further.

“The truck started its life as a Lindsay Brothers truck, and it was kicked around a few farms in central New South Wales.

Images: Truckin’ Life

The Ford as it originally looked back in the 1980s, when it was owned by Lindsay Bros.

Farmer and diesel mechanic Mitch Underwood is by no means a man of expensive taste – but when it comes to restoring old trucks, he’s too not worried about going over budget.

“I don’t have a sports car or a yacht on a harbour, but I love old trucks and old machinery!” he laughed.

“If it’s a worthwhile project, I’m happy to spend a bit of money on it.”

Underwood, who comes from the small town of Arcadia in Victoria, has spent the last 18 months and about $55,000 restoring a 1987 Ford LTL. He’s tried to stay as close as possible to the original model, and is delighted with the results.

“If you went back in 1987 and said ‘I want

“I bought it off a guy called Gary in Jerilderie who does restoration work, but just didn’t have the time to put into this truck.

“I got it with the idea to tidy it up and have it as a bit of a classic, but also to work as a farm truck.

“I went to town to get a bit of rust and a few things tidied up. The original quote was just $6,800. And then I went to ‘Oh my God, let’s actually pull the whole thing apart and redo it!’”

Underwood worked with various different suppliers over the course of the restoration, and praised them for their fantastic work.

“I took the truck in to some chaps in Shepparton called Cundari Bros. Joe and Dom did a wonderful job in pulling it apart and repainting it, repairing it and doing work on it. I did some of the little things while it was in with them too.

“Cundari Bros did such a good job, the truck went from looking OK to ‘Woah, have you seen this thing?’

“That being the case, it’s been easier for me to justify doing more bits and pieces.”

He continued: “Randall in Custom Care in Seymour polished the tank and brackets and stuff for me, and Northern Chrome did a great job with the chrome grill.

“Getting the grill done was probably one

of the more worrying parts, because it was broken, and he was able to find a guy to repair it. Craig and his crew did a great job resetting the grill and doing all that.”

Underwood sourced most of the parts he needed from Universal Truck Wreckers and Graham Thompson Motors in Shepparton, as well as Just Louisville’s in WA. “I’ve been collecting all the parts from them along the way. Universal Truck Wreckers told me ‘I think we need to get you a desk and chair mate, you’re in here so often!’”

He also used his own knowledge of

mechanics to do some repair work on the truck, as well as some fit outs, setting up the turntable and refitting all the hydraulics.

“Where possible I’ve been involved, doing what I can,” he added.

Underwood uses the truck on the farm mostly during harvest time, when it pulls a tipping trailer and carts grain and fertiliser back and forth from the farm to Melbourne and Geelong.

over and above what I ever expected

He says he’s never allowed to sell it, because his 13-year-old son Jamie would be devastated.

“Jamie just loves that truck. He actually framed a picture of it and gave it to me for Christmas, it’s hanging on the wall in our house!”

His next project is the restoration of another vintage truck – a 1985 Kenworth SAR. “The SAR mechanically now is pretty A1, and I’m going to redo the paintwork and a few details along the way.”

His advice for anyone who might want to try restoring an old truck? Don't take no for an answer!

“You just want to be motivated to follow through.

“I always liked old trucks, and what you pay for an old truck, compared to what you pay for a modern day truck...They take a lot more looking after.

“Once the old trucks are fixed up, they haven’t got the modern electronics that create gremlins along the way.

“I could never afford a new or late model truck, but some of the older trucks have a bit of character in them. I’m an old school mechanic, and I’m more comfortable with the old trucks because that’s just the era I grew up in.

“I don’t do a lot of kilometers, I’m only a small operator. I just said I’ll buy this truck and come up with something a bit special.”

e RarGEMS Russell Marshall's 1941 Ford reborn!

Russell Marshall talks us through how he brought two vintage pickup trucks back to life

As the president of the Historic Commercial Vehicle Club of Australia, it should come as no surprise that Russell Marshall has a passion for vintage trucks.

An experienced mechanic, he spent years working on and driving old trucks, and decided to try his hand at restoring them.

Marshall now has two impressive restorations under his belt – a 1947 Studebaker M5 and a 1941 Ford.

Both vehicles were “wrecks” when he first got his hands on them, and took a lot of time and love to get them in the fantastic shape they’re in today.

He picked up the Studebaker in the town of Amphitheatre, Victoria, about six years ago, and spent four years working on it.

“I bought the truck from a farmer who had purchased it from the Horsham area intending to bring it back to life, but he had

The Ford when Marshall first stumbled upon it

The Studebaker in all its glory, after years of work from Marshall

kept it in an unrestored condition for about 20 years.

“I believe I am the fourth owner, after several searches that led me to find that the M5 was purchased new in 1948 by a western district farmer.”

Marshall likes trucks that have a unique appearance.

“I think that helps with the finished look once they’ve been restored,” he says.

“Not many people have seen a 1947 Studebaker! There’s only about half a dozen in Australia and I’ve only seen two of them before.”

The 1941 Ford was found in a garage in Northern Melbourne 12 years ago, and took him five years to restore.

“It was just sitting there doing nothing and I thought it would give me something to do!

“It hadn’t been on the road in 20 years, and it was in much worse condition than the Studebaker.”

Marshall did a lot of the work on both trucks himself.

“Pretty much everything in the

trucks needed to be repaired, and some replacements were needed as well,” he explains.

“After stripping the Studebaker down to the chassis, the guards were repaired by Murray Langford.

“Assistance in the body work was given by Tony Bakker, Stephen and Brian Corstorphan, with Stephen applying the final coats of paint.”

When it came to new parts, suppliers were hard to find.

“I got some stuff over from the states. Parts are pretty expensive. It was much cheaper when I was doing the Ford up.”

The Melbourne native says you need “plenty of patience and a fair bit of money” if you want to give truck restoration a go.

However he is very happy with his two projects and enjoys showing the Studebaker off at historic commercial vehicle shows and other events.

“I take it everywhere. It's been to Alice Springs, it’s been all over. It gets a lot of compliments. It’s a good-looking truck!”

mily FaTIES

A childhood surrounded by trucks set the scene for this young driver’s future

Ever since he was a child, Daniel Johnson knew he wanted to be a truckie.

His dad Paul has been a truck driver for 33 years, and from the age of five or six Daniel would be out kicking the tyres to check the pressure and getting the engine started.

“Before I had breakfast, before I did anything on a Saturday morning, I had to go out and check the truck,” he remembers.

“Dad had a massive influence on me and I just love trucks. There hasn’t been a day in

my life where I haven’t thought about trucks!”

Although Daniel now drives a 2010 Kenworth K108 for Miles Transport, his favourite model is a classic Kenworth T650.

“My dad had a Kenworth T650 from the 80s. He called it Alley Cat, and he had the name written across the front so it was pretty well known.

“Dad sold it about 20 years ago, and my plan is to find it, buy it and restore it.”

Two generations of truck loving Johnson family members

Facebook in a bid to find the truck, and now has a solid lead.

“Someone messaged me and said the truck is in Ararat in Victoria, which is only about an hour from where I live,” he continues.

“The guy who messaged me actually knows the owner. So at the moment I’m just saving my money and eventually I’m going to go to him and offer a bit more than it’s worth and go from there.”

Daniel actually came across Alley Cat by chance a few months ago, and was dismayed by the condition it was in.

“She’s not been kept in the condition my dad used to keep her in,” he says.

“She’s all dirty and bent up. Seeing her in that condition broke my heart.”

When Daniel gets his hands on the old truck, he plans to carry out a full restoration – which he has never done before. However he says his boss, Geoff Miles, is a great source of information and support.

“I’ll probably get help and learn as I go,” he says.

“You can ask Geoff anything about any truck and he will be able to help, he’s great with anything mechanical.”

Daniel has been with Miles Transport for about nine months, and really enjoys his job.

“I love the freedom. Just being on the road, having your own thoughts and cruising along. I like knowing I'm doing my part to keep the country going. Because if we weren’t out there, then no one would get anything.

“Geoff is absolutely brilliant to work for.

He’s the most relaxed man I’ve ever met. If something doesn’t go the way you want it to,

he just goes ‘A h well. Sh*t happens! We’ll try to figure it out.’

Miles Transport runs from Monbulk in the Dandenong ranges in Victoria to Sydney.

Daniel says he was never interested in driving interstate because he’s got two kids at home, but Geoff has figured out a schedule that works for him and his family.

“Geoff arranges it so that I’m only gone about three and a half days out of the week, and I’m able to spend a lot more time at home than I used to.”

Daniel’s not generally a fan of newer trucks, but he’s happy to drive a 2010 K108 Kenworth at work.

“Generally I can’t stand new trucks,” he says. “There are too many electronic things in them and not as much character.

“The 2010 K108 Kenworth is the last of the good ones if you ask me!

“That’s the best truck I’ve driven. It’s so well maintained. All of our trucks are well looked after.”

The Kenworth was originally Geoff’s “baby”, as Daniel puts it, but it’s now in his capable hands.

“I used to work for flower farms, driving trucks for them, and I met Geoff by coincidence at the Melbourne market.

“He had brought the Kenworth to the market and he said ‘Come drive for me’. As a joke, I said ‘I’ll come drive for you if I can drive that.’ And he said ‘Sure.’”

Daniel’s ambition is to be his own boss and own his own trucks.

“I’d love the pride of having my own name on the door and doing it my way.

“I know these days it’s getting harder and harder to do that, but that’s the dream.”

PLACE

Andrew with the Kenworth 608 he drives now

Andrew Martin and Nicole Jones with the Kenworth K1O4

Sitting behind the wheel of a Kenworth is where Andrew Martin finds peace

Andrew Martin grew up surrounded by trucks, but it was his father’s classic 1418 Mercedes-Benz in particular that inspired him to pursue a career in the trucking industry.

“I always loved my dad’s old Mercedes-Benz trucks,” he says.

“There’s a bit of character to the 1418 Mercedes-Benz. They weren’t the fastest truck around, but back in the day they made a lot of businesses money because they were so reliable. They don’t take much to run either.”

Andrew’s father Richard ran a haulage business called R&M Martin Transport with his wife Mavis for 40 years before he passed away in 2015.

“He had a fleet of trucks and he did general and cattle cartage and then water cartage in the later years,” he explains.

“Mum also used to drive the trucks to Dandenong Market back in the day!”

Andrew and his brother Michael have each inherited one of their dad’s old trucks. While Michael has restored his 1418 and it’s running beautifully, Andrew’s has been put on the back burner for now.

“Mine is a 1972 model, it needs a full makeover before I can get it on the road. It will probably take a few years to do it up.

“At the moment it’s a ‘one day’ project, it’s just sitting there at home!”

He says the Mercedes-Benz 1418, with its easily recognisable bulging bonnet, has something of a cult following across Australia.

“A lot of older blokes are chasing them and doing them up.

“There are a few Facebook groups and people just love them, especially anyone who had them back in the day.”

Andrew, who is from Modella, Victoria,

has been in the transport industry all his life but finally realised his dream of becoming a truckie six years ago.

He’s currently a driver for Horne Enterprises Sensitive Freight Movers, specialising in moving everything from MRI machines to food processing machinery and printers.

He says it’s a great company to be part of and he really enjoys the work.

“I’m all for travelling around Australia and I enjoy seeing all the different places.

“Horne Enterprises has got a great mechanic in the workshop and some young guys moving up through the ranks and it’s a good place to learn,” he says.

Andrew drives a Kenworth 608, which he describes as a “great little truck”.

“It doesn’t miss a beat.

“All the trucks have their name on the side with a little cartoon character, and the 608 has Woody from Toy Story.

“Before the 608 I drove a K1O4 Kenworth that had a little penguin on it called Bobby.

That truck was one of my favourites.”

Andrew’s partner Nicole is a hairdresser by trade, but he says she’s been very understanding of his passion for trucks.

“She’s learning the ropes,” he laughs. “She got thrown into the deep end a bit but she’s been great and very supportive!”

The Kenworth K104 can be seen hauing all manner of sensitive machinery around Australia

OWNER DRIVER TURNED

Advocate For some families, transport runs deeply through their veins as Tiarna Condren found out

Mechanic, truck driver and transport industry advocate, Gordon Mackinlay

We begin copying our parents from a young age; with our first words dictated by their speech, our pickiness stemming from their cooking, and our behaviour modelled after their teachings.

Despite this, as we get older and inevitably reach the dreaded teenage years, many begin to fear the possibility of becoming like their parents.

Whether it be the way they act in relationships, or the attitude they take when they’re mad, therapists nation-wide must have heard it all.

But for Gordon Mackinlay, finding out he was just like his father was the best compliment he had ever received.

As many truck drivers seem to do, Gordon grew up on a farm.

His town of Holbrook, New South Wales boasts a humble population of 1,700 and it was there he says he became entranced by transport.

“My earliest memory of transport was when I was a kid. We used to have a company here locally and Meredith Transport or Glen Crawford used to come out and pick up stock from our farm,” Gordon says.

“And so, obviously, when they turned up that would take my interest.

“I have always been a bit of a petrol head,” he laughs, “and I still am”.

But unlike many others, Gordon didn’t get into truck driving right away.

“I did my trade as a mechanic in the light vehicle sector, but always sort of still had an interest in trucks.

He says the first truck he ever drove was a “little rigid truck, a little Isuzu tow truck” during his apprenticeship.

“We used to do NRMA and tows because I got my rigid licence and tow truck licence at that time. Dave, my boss would ring up and say, ‘you want to go to Sydney tonight?’

“And this would be like, eight o'clock at night and I've been at work all day, but I would say yeah no worries.”

Gordon says back then, he would be given $100 in cash to drive to Sydney and back with broken down cars.

“I realised I liked that going away and longdistance sort of stuff,” he says.

Gordon didn’t officially get involved in trucking until he was 27, when he began working alongside a couple of local operators like Churchill Transport.

He finally got his semi license and started driving very casually for a while.

“It was actually about two weeks after I got married that I went truck driving full time, in 2005.”

We can only guess what the missus must have said.

DOW 500 082-085 DP Gordon McKinlay.indd 82

8/12/2023 4:56 am

Young and indecisive, Gordon shortly went back to truck maintenance and mechanics for a couple years but couldn’t seem to stay away from behind the wheel.

“In 2008, the driving bug hit me again, and in 2013, I bought my very first truck and started Mackinlay Transport,” he says, “and I still work for myself through Mackinlay Transport today.”

Gordon’s first truck was a Western Star 4864 with 1.3 million kilometres on the dash.

“My good mate put up $50,000 to help me start my business,” he says, “and that’s how I got started.”

Unfortunately, only 10 days after purchasing, Gordon had to make a hesitant call to his wife and explain that his great business choice had just blown an engine.

“I had to say hey babe, I’m in Bathurst and the engine has just blown up.”

“She just went quiet and said ‘bullshit’,” he laughs.

Over the years, Gordon would flip back and forth between driving and mechanics and noticed quickly that the business was profiting more from the mechanical side.

“One day I came home and I said to my wife, you know, this is ridiculous. We need to really look at what we're doing with the truck side of things.”

During this time, The Road Safety

Some of the logging fleet Gordon looked after in Rosewood NSW

Senator Glen Lazzerus sat with Gordon as lead truck for part of the convoy where his job was to convince them to vote to abolish the RSRT

Remuneration Tribunal, an independent body established by the Gillard government in 2012 to oversee the road transport industry in Australia was in full effect.

Created by the tribunal, The Contractor Driver Minimum Payments Road Safety Remuneration Order 2016 set minimum pay rates for owner drivers, entitlements for unpaid time off and had provisions for hirers and supply chain participants to audit supply chain contracts.

“The more we looked into it, the worse off we looked like we would be as single truck operators and family operators. We were going to be penalised,” he says.

“We did our best to try and have that changed and it just fell on deaf ears. So, then the only thing we had left to do in my opinion, was to fight to have it removed.”

Angered and feeling unheard, Gordon and a convoy of more than 200 trucks travelled through Canberra to protest and approach Parliament.

After many meetings, including one involving the then Prime Minister Malcom Turnbull, they were successful and saw the abolition of the RSRT in a first for Australian Parliament.

“I was told at the time, that was the first time since Federation in 1901, that an Act of Parliament was presented to the lower house and passed; put to the Upper House and passed and turned into law in a single day,” he says.

Gordon says, “It was something I was pretty proud of at the time”.

“Afterwards, my sister actually said to me, ‘Oh my gosh, you're like Dad’.”

Gordon says he was confused by the comment at the time, but then his sister told him of a time that their father stood up for her when an incident occurred on a school bus and how just like their father, Gordon was standing up for what was right.

Gordon says his father was very proud of the work he was doing for the industry and expressed this to him before he passed away.

“I think Dad gave me a really good work ethic, and a really strong belief that when you believe in something, and you know something's right, you don't stop.

84

DOW 500 082-085 DP Gordon McKinlay.indd 84

8/12/2023 4:56 am

“That's probably why right now, despite having no financial interest or gain in what I am doing to help, we are still fighting for legislative change.

“I'm in a position, I believe, where I can help.

And I keep thinking that Dad would always think that's the right thing to do.”

Through Gordon’s involvement with the Convoy to Canberra, he became involved with the National Road Freighters Association (NRFA) where he was invited to join the association.

“And so I did. I ended up joining the board and eventually became the vice president and then the President.”

However, after some family tragedies in 2019/20, Gordon decided to step down as president.

“I knew I wasn't giving it 100 per cent. I just wasn't in the right headspace. So I stood down but stayed on the Board. I’m still very active in fighting for legislative change.

“It takes a lot of financial commitment and

time commitment. My family obviously put up with a lot of zoom meetings and trips to Canberra and Sydney and whatever. That's sort of where we've ended up now,” he says.

Gordon currently still contracts himself out for mechanical work, describing himself as a “transport tart”.

He is still working with the NRFA on ways to tackle the issue of international drivers, and while he sees himself working alongside the association for a long time to come, he says nobody knows what the future has in store.

“I've become a pilot and an aeroplane owner, which I love. I'd probably like to do some instructing in that.”

He has recently also been offered a place teaching a TAFE course.

“It’d be really nice to be able to pass on a bit of that knowledge. And so, whether it be through something like that, or driving, instructing, or mentoring, I'd really love to give back, you know, my experience.”

The Halo Tyre Inflator is a self-powered automated tyre inflation system that’s saving truckies money on fuel, reducing tyre-related downtime and improving safety along the way With fuel prices skyrocketing, truckies across Australia are looking for ways to save money long-term – and one place to start is your tyres.

Tyres that aren’t up to scratch can end up costing you a lot of cash, whether they are adding to your fuel consumption or needing maintenance/replacement and causing delays.

AerOx, a company based in Melbourne, has teamed up with Aperia Technologies in the US to bring a game-changing product to the Australian market – automated tyre inflators.

The Halo Tire Inflator is a self-powered automatic tyre inflation system for tractor drive tyres and trailers that uses a wheel’s rotation to maintain optimal tyre pressure.

Aerox Director Chad Chahal says the unit could save you up to 3 per cent on fuel per year.

“Most people who know their tyres, they know that when you maintain good pressure on your tyres, you maintain fuel economy because your rolling resistance is reduced.

“We’ve had the Halo unit independently tested in the US and we have been able to achieve between 1 and 3 per cent in fuel savings.”

Other benefits of automated tyre inflation include preventative maintenance and less downtime, longer tyre life, and reduced risk of blowout and other tyre-related safety incidents.

“With the inflator, you have that peace of mind that your tyre pressures are maintained.

You won’t need to have someone physically go and inflate the tyres.

“And that’s just the hardware – there's also a software element. We have RFID sensors attached to each valve, and that connects to our innovative Connect Box that’s in the cabin.

“That sends the information up into the cloud, so your driver, through a phone app, and your maintenance manager, through a

desktop, has full visibility of the tyre pressures for the truck and trailer.

“The system is able to detect whether a leak is critical, major or minor. Each one of those categories will give you a recommendation of when to replace or check the tyre.”

He adds: “Just from maintaining good tyre pressure, you improve the tread wear by 20 per cent. But most importantly, when you maintain tyre pressure, you reduce tyre wall fatigue. And that is the primary cause of blowouts for tyres.”

The inflator has a “smart regulator” that ensures it will only pump air when the tyre pressure is below the target pressure setting, so it will never accidentally over-inflate a tyre.

“If the target pressure is 100 psi and the tire’s cold inflation pressure is 97 psi, the Halo will add air until the pressure is 100 psi and then the regulator will turn the pump off.”

The Halo is compatible with the majority of class 7 and 8 truck and trailers, box trucks, buses, and refuse vehicles.

An experienced tech, who has installed 1 or 2 Halos before, can outfit an entire truck or trailer in 20-30 minutes.

“You bolt the Halo on to the wheel end by the hub attachment bolts. It’s very easy to install.

There’s only four parts – the bracket, the Halo, and two hoses. That’s it.”

The product has been used in the US over the last six years, with early adaptors including major companies such as UPS and Amazon.

“It’s a trialed and tested product,” he adds.

“It’s been tested in hot temperatures in Arizona, and Arizona dust is very similar to our notorious Australian bull dust.

“It’s also been tested in extremely cold temperatures in Montana and even driving a little bit under water.

“It’s on 20,000 trucks plus a large number of trailers in the US. It’s had amazing reviews and interest is growing.”

Clear VISION

Peter Makris with his latest invention, Windscreen Pops

Ever wondered if there’s a better way to keep the bugs off the windscreen?

Peter Makris did

A Sydney man has invented the world’s first windscreen washer pods.

Peter Makris launched his dissolvable pods for windscreen washer reservoirs, Windscreen Pops, at the Technology and Maintenance conference in Melbourne in October.

After a challenging three-year period of research and testing, he is finally happy with the product.

“It’s essentially a pod in casing that is fully dissolvable once you put it in the windshield reservoir,” he explains.

“And then once you use your windscreen wipers, it helps maintain a clean windscreen.”

Makris claims there is a multitude of advantages to using these pods.

“The first one is, if you're servicing vehicles, and you're using some sort of other window cleaner, each of our pods only weighs 10 grams, and it’s a concentrate.

“So transporting the pods to the service centre is extremely cheap, compared to its competitors.

“It’s very easy to use as well, you just put the pod in the water reservoir.

“There’s no measuring, no health and safety issues, and no manual handling issues.”

The pods work for cleaning everything from mud to squashed insects, and are environmentally friendly too.

“There are no harmful chemicals at all, either with regards to the casing or the chemicals being used,” he adds.

Makris’ background is in clinical and experimental pharmacology and risk management, and he came up with the idea for the windscreen pods after a conversation with a friend.

“I was talking to a friend in the chemical industry about making chemicals easier to use, and not having to transport large amounts of liquid to customers, to save costs and to help with manual handling and the environment.

“We got wind that some truck companies that were using these containers called IBCs that have a ton of liquid in them. They were transporting those to the yard and using those and there were spillage issues, manual handling and safety issues. We thought that was such a waste.”

Makris says it was very important to make sure that the liquid is effective in cleaning windows, while also maintaining a stable casing so it doesn’t dissolve until it comes into contact with water.

“It’s been a difficult research process to get an effective chemical that doesn’t dissolve the casing.”

His goal now is to make the product more widely available and continue to grow his innovative new business.

“We have just launched, so we’re still developing our website.

“We’re looking at targeting truck servicing operations and maintenance departments, and they can buy directly from us.

“But ultimately, we see this thing going to the mom and dad vehicle market.”

KENWORTH TO THE

Rescue

The transport industry banded together to give Candice a ride she’ll never forget

Candice with the SRV Kenworth that delivered her to her school formal

When it comes to school formal transportation, getting driven by your mum and dad just doesn’t cut it anymore.

Nowadays, graduates are pulling up in flashy vintage cars and Lambo’s to try and make an impression.

For Candice, her original plan was to be driven into her formal on her uncle’s motorcycle.

“My uncle and I had plans to drive up on his motorbike, but at the last minute, he realised he already had plans and had to pull out,” Candice says.

“I was so stressed, I thought I was going to have to walk myself down to the venue,” she laughed.

With her transportation cancelled, Candice and her family reached out to their relative Chloe Anderson, who was awarded the Women in Trucking Australia 2023 Toots People’s Choice Award.

“My mum reached out to me about three days before Candice’s formal and asked if I knew anyone that could take her because her transport fell through,” Chloe says.

“Initially I was going to take her in one

of my company’s trucks, but they were all unavailable, all out for work.

“And so I put out a little Facebook post to some of the industry friends I have, and sure enough, Duffy picked up on it,” she says.

“He was more than happy to take her in the truck. He was so excited to be a part of this,” she says.

Luckily for Candice, Justin Duff was gearing up for a job when he got tagged in one of the Facebook posts.

“I had started to head south for Melbourne when I got tagged in the post” he says.

“I knew if someone didn’t take her, she would have been upset on her big day, so I decided to help her out,” he says.

Justin says the experience was great and is grateful that he could help her out on a day as special as this.

“It’s always nice to help each other out when you can.”

When he pulled up in a Kenworth T909, Chloe says Candice’s face was plastered with a smile.

“It was such an out of body moment. I couldn’t believe that I was getting to go to my formal in a truck!” Candice says.

“This was my first time ever getting the chance to be in a truck. It was crazy and so cool.”

“Because it was so last minute, I was nearly in tears. I was so happy and relieved.”

SRV Road Freight’s Kenworth T909 has custom stainless work that was completed

by Klos Custom Trucks in Geelong.

‘Silent Treatment’ is caramel coloured with black and white scrollwork adorning the cab.

The truck glowed as it drove down the entryway, with the LED’s reflecting against the chrome in a way that had onlookers in awe.

“Everyone pulled out their phones as soon as they saw me coming in. All the little kids were pointing,” Candice says.

“I felt like a princess. A princess showing up in a ginormous truck.”

“I am so grateful and thankful for Chloe and Justin’s help. We wouldn’t have been able to pull it off without them,” she says.

Chloe says this is a testament to the kind of community the transport industry is.

“There's a lot of people in the trucking community that are more than happy to donate their truck to a good cause like that,” Chloe says.

“I really wasn't worried too much about not being able to get a truck there in time, because everyone's just so nice.

“It was awesome to be a part of that, myself and Duffy couldn’t be happier with it."

A LIGHT ON TRUCK SHOWS

The trucks have their numbers and await judgement - it's showtime!

Ever wondered what the judges are looking for when they do their rounds at truck shows? Our correspondent Kayla Walsh did, and this is what she found out

Truck shows aren’t just about the awards – they are centred around celebrating the transport industry, making valuable connections, and having a fun day out.

At the end of the day though, who wouldn’t want to go home with a shiny trophy, some free publicity and a nice little ego boost?

Truck of the Show is obviously the big one when it comes to awards, and often comes with a cash prize – sometimes up to $1,000.

But categories can range from Best European to Best Signage to Best Farm Truck, so there are lots of opportunities to go home with a prize.

So - what is the key to being a winner? Is it all about the flash – eye-catching scroll work, chrome and colour? Do you need to be up at 4am shining your truck to be in with a chance?

We spoke to Evan Whitbourne, vice president of the Deniliquin Truck Show and former judge, for his insight.

“It’s about the condition of the vehicle, the way it’s kept, how clean it is,” he says.

“How it’s polished, if you can see a little bit of extra care goes into looking after it, inside and outside.

“We look at the engine bay, the chassis, the overall appearance of the vehicle.”

Whitbourne says they also take into account how much work the truck is doing on a weekly basis.

“A new vehicle can roll up and look great, well that’s alright, it’s brand new.

“If you’ve got a vehicle that’s done a million kilometers and it looks in very similar condition, there’s probably a bit more merit in that.”

Whitbourne says he always likes to have a range of judges from different backgrounds on the panel, who will be looking out for different things.

“We try to have it across the board in the industry, so we’ll have signwriters, truck salesmen, people in the repair industry and so on.

“I’ve got a good friend at Kenworth Australia, I usually get him to judge, so he knows his Kenworths.

“And you might have a sponsor who is not right up to speed with the truck thing, a fuel sponsor or a tyre sponsor. So you’ll usually team them up with someone who is in the know in the industry, so it’s fair.”

8/12/2023 4:55 am

Outside the control of the judges is the People’s Choice award, a popular category at truck shows.

“People’s Choice is voted for by the public and it’s usually something that stands out from the crowd.

“The year I judged the Deniliquin Truck Show, the Grays Finley Peterbilt won it. It was just a bit different from everything else.

“The crowd that we get, not all of them are transport-minded people.

“People come for a day out with the kids and that sort of thing, just to get a look at what the transport industry is all about, so something that would catch their eye might win People’s Choice.

“That could be something with flames up the side or painted pink, who knows.”

The inaugural Truck of the Show winner at Deniliquin Truck Show was Scott Congram of Finley

When it comes to shows that have prizes for Best Vintage, Whitbourne says keeping restorations as close to the original model as possible is very important.

“I was at the Boort Truck Show this year and they had a very good representation of older trucks.

“Some of them are just fantastic, they are better than what they were when they were new!

“I would imagine the judges there are looking at keeping it as original as possible, and the quality of the workmanship that’s gone into restoring them.”

As for something like Best Signage, he says it comes down to the personal preference of the judges.

“Some of the blokes like the older style, and some like a newer style.

“The different signwriters have all got their own unique way of doing it.

“A little bit of personal choice there really.”

What if your truck has made its way to shows around the country and won several times before - will that affect your chances of winning again?

“I wouldn’t say a judge would be turned away or turned towards a truck if it’s won shows before.

“You’d probably check it out a bit more to make sure it was up to scratch. But I don’t think that would change your opinion of it.”

His main advice is to just do your best and have fun.

“At Deniliquin, we have a lot of wellpresented vehicles. We’re not all about the chrome and the shell and the shine.

“We’re just there to have an industry day and everybody is welcome. It doesn’t matter if it’s an old farm truck or a brand new Kenworth.”

The Fast s u o i r u c e h t d n a

QUESTIONS TO ASK BEFORE YOU BUY

If you’re in the market for a truck, there are several different things you need to think about before you pull the trigger. To help you along the way, we spoke to some industry experts and put together this handy guide.

Before you buy a truck, you’re going to want to ask some questions. These include: Should I buy a used truck?

The first question you’ll probably ask yourself is whether to go for a new vehicle or a used one. Buying second-hand (or third-hand or fourth-hand) can save you a huge amount of money, as a new truck will cost you double the price, or more. That’s before you even take into account dealership fees like shipping charges and dealer preparation.

You’re also going to have much less depreciation with a used truck. Depreciation is going to happen no matter what, but as soon as you drive that shiny new Kenworth out of the dealership’s yard, it’s lost value. Its

worth will continue to drop in that first year by an average of 20 per cent of the price you initially paid. By buying a pre-owned truck that has already taken that big depreciation hit, you will see a much smaller loss in value in that first year.

Some new trucks also come with features that you don’t really need or won’t use, which push up the cost of the vehicle. Before you buy, you need to really think about what you’re going to be using your truck for and do your research.

On the other hand, if you’re looking for fancy features, you might find yourself going over budget with a new truck. The price might seem affordable at first, but when you look at the specs you find you’re actually looking at an entry-level model – and adding what you need will cost you a fortune.

With all this in mind, buying used can often be the best option – but some people have concerns over reliability, hidden costs and other risks. Knowledge is power in these situations, so it’s best to inform yourself before you start the process.

8/12/2023 4:54 am

Can I inspect the truck?

If you ask a seller this and the answer is no, that’s a major red flag. Anyone who doesn’t have something to hide won’t have a problem with you carrying out an inspection.

When checking out a truck, make sure you look at all the below: • Engine – check for fumes/noise • Seatbelts • Trim, upholstery • Equipment – use the wipers, roll down the windows and test the air conditioning • Fans and batteries – look for signs of damage • Under the bonnet – check oil etc • Tyres and wheels • Paintwork – look for rust/bubbling • Floor – look for any leaks of oil/coolant If you’re not an expert on all aspects of trucks, it’s a good idea to get a mechanic to come with you to examine your potential new purchase. You might have to pay them a day’s or half a day’s wages, depending on how far they have to drive for the inspection, but it will be worth it in the long run if they spot things you wouldn’t have noticed yourself.

Why is this truck for sale?

The owner might not give you a straight answer on this one, but you never know what you might find out.

Can I take it for a test drive?

Taking a truck for a test drive can be a good way to try out the gears and brakes, check the suspension, and see how it performs on flat and uneven or elevated surfaces.

Look out for warning lights or any rattling or banging noises.

Are all the documents in order?

It’s important that the seller has all the required documents before you proceed with a sale. Do a search on the Personal Properties register to make sure the truck you want to buy is free from debt and hasn’t been stolen or written off.

A Certificate of Roadworthiness will show that your vehicle is safe enough to be used on public roads.

If the seller provides this, it’s up to you to check it thoroughly.

If you're not mechanically minded, consider hiring someone for a day to check out your potential purchase before you buy

What is the truck’s history?

Obviously, lower mileage is usually a bonus, but it’s not the only factor at play. Some trucks might have three or four million kilometers on them but have a new gearbox or motor, so make sure you look into the vehicle’s history and maintenance records. If trucks are running linehaul they might rack up an average of 20,000km a month, so they should be serviced every month, and the dash and gearbox should be serviced every six months to a year. If a driver has a truck that he’s not servicing regularly, it’s going to be in a much worse state than a truck that’s been looked after. If you’re buying an ex-fleet truck, they should be able to give you a print out of the details of how often it has been serviced. Otherwise, that information will usually be recorded by the driver or in the workshop’s log books.

Am I paying a fair price?

You’re probably going to get a better price if you buy from an owner driver or fleet owner as opposed to a dealership. If you’re not sure

what the truck is worth, do some research online – but make sure you’re comparing apples with apples. If a truck has had some work done to update it, like a motor rebuild, it could be anywhere from $20,000 to $50,000 more expensive than the same model which hasn’t had that upgrade.

Is it the right truck for me?

If you’re buying a truck – whether it’s used or new – make sure it’s suitable for the purpose intended. One of the experts we spoke to for this article told us about a small business owner he knows who bought a truck at an auction without looking at the specs. He only took a look at the cab and the size of the tray, and judged it to be big enough, without thinking about how heavy it was. This man was in the concrete business – and when you combined the weight of the truck with the weight of the concrete, he was over the legal weight. He had to sell that truck on and buy a different one, all because he didn’t do his research.

Watching the big trucks pass through a Cranbourne truck stop inspired Api Jawanda to seek a career change, leading to the dream purchase of his very own Kenworth T909 Words & Images | Warren Aitken 106

decade is a very long time. If you look at it purely by the numbers, 10 years equates to 120 months, anywhere from 3652 to 3653 days. I’m accounting for leap years so don’t argue my maths. The point I was trying to make is that a decade is a very long time. A lot can happen in that time and that’s what I am here to shine a light on...

With its custom-built 34 pallet B-double combination in tow, the 909 fits perfectly within the overall length restrictions

My story today focuses on a young man who has changed a lot in the last 10 years.

He has changed countries, changed career, and even changed passions. The passion that brought him to the pages before you is ironically a truck whose nomenclature has been around for more than a decade and, unlike him, has not changed at all in that time – the Kenworth T909.

The 909 is still one of Australia’s favourite trucks for its performance and presentation.

It is also the literal driving force behind young Apinder Jawanda’s life changes over the past decade. That’s a lot to absorb, I get that. Let us jump back to early 2013 and reset the scene.

In early 2013, 23-year-old Apinder, or Api as he is known to his mates, was a qualified nurse in his native India. He had spent years

training and did his internship working in the cardiovascular surgery ward before moving into the neurosurgery arena.

Api was born and bred in Punjab, India. It is a world away from where he is now. Just to give you all a bit of perspective. Punjab is a small state in India, roughly around 50,000 square kilometres. That’s just a little smaller than Tasmania, which is around 68,000 square kilometres. However, Tasmania manages to squeeze in around half a million people. Punjab somehow fits in about 27 million people.

Working as a nurse in such a high-density area was challenging. The hours were huge but the pay wasn’t, which got young Api looking at Australia as a place to emigrate to.

“I wanted to upgrade my skills and look for better opportunities,” Api explains. “I never had an interest in trucks back home, I always wanted to stay in the surgery side of nursing. That’s why I came over to Australia, to continue my nursing.”

Night shift As it turned out, upon Api’s arrival in Australia, his qualifications didn’t automatically transfer over, as is the case for

108

most medical professionals from abroad.

Hence, he had to register for university and redo all his studies. For this reason, we can all be thankful. It was that fortuitous act that resulted in the impressive Kenworth before you.

While he was redoing all his qualifications, Api took on a part-time job working the graveyard shift at a truck stop in Cranbourne. This would be the catalyst for the career change.

“There were always these guys from TTS coming in to fuel up, in their 909s, 908s, 108s and K200s,” Api recalls, still with wonderment in his tone. “They were all so shiny and really got me thinking about trucks. Plus, on winter nights, it would be very quiet, and you could hear them coming with their Jakes on. That always put a smile on my face.”

It wasn’t just the sights and sounds that were enticing the recirculated nursing student. It was also the drivers themselves.

“I’d talk to the drivers every night; I’d ask them if they enjoyed the job and what it was like.”

The positive feedback he would receive was enough to convince Api to look into

getting his truck licence, which he somehow managed to squeeze in between his classes, his studies and his part-time job.

“In the university holidays I was able to pick up some work for Capital Transport driving a six-pallet rigid,” Api says.

“Once I started driving, I never looked back.”

Api loved doing the local delivery work and the truck driving bug had bitten him, but he still stuck to his original plan and saw through his studies. It is an indication of the character of the young man that he chose to fulfill his original commitment even though by this stage those shiny TTS Kenworths, and his holidays spent among the Melbourne traffic, had shone a whopping great light on the career path he had his eyes on.

“Basically as soon as I completed my degree, I saw an ad looking for a driver at Mainfreight and I applied straight away,” Api says.

That job involved once again driving a small HR on local work all over Melbourne.

There was hardly a street Api didn’t learn and hardly a street directory page left unturned. His boss at the time, Vijay

In and out of his local branch, the 909 may not be the most practical round-town truck, but it fits the needs and hasn’t stopped Api from making any deliveries so far

Ahluwalia, would play a critical role in the trajectory of Api’s trucking career.

“Yeah, I learnt a lot from my old boss, he really encouraged and assisted me. He was really supportive. He was the silent partner when I bought my first truck,” Api explains.

That first truck would come a couple of years after he started with Vijay, and just to throw the script in the air, it did not involve an HR truck, nor did it involve general freight.

Even though he started his career in the legendary Mainfreight colours, and this current amazing Kenworth is in the legendary Mainfreight colours, the time in between was a little dirtier than you’d ever see a Mainfreight truck (pun intended).

“The first truck I bought was in October 2017 and it was a 2013 Freightliner Coronado truck and trailer tipper,” Api says. “I loved the Mainfreight work and when I’d do the country runs I’d see the big trucks and I’d be fascinated.”

With the help of his boss, Api got himself upskilled into an HC licence. In order to put that to work, he left Mainfreight and started driving truck and dog tippers.

“I started working for a guy in July 2017, driving his truck and dog, then a few months later got the chance to buy my own. Because the work was so good, and I was making money, I bought a second one in February 2018 and put a driver in that one.”

By mid-2018, with the announcement of the huge metro tunnel and a few other infrastructure projects, every man and his dog were getting into the tipping game. Dirt not footy. Things slowed a little for Api and, as is his determined nature, he set out to look for other work options.

A chance encounter with another Mainfreight driver saw Api back in the big blue offices looking at getting his own truck into team Mainfreight. Obviously, the fact

the pages around us are plastered with a stunning Mainfreight Kenworth means that the meeting was successful, but please just play along anyway.

“They were looking for someone to pull a double around on local and I was happy to put a truck on. First thing I did though was get my MC licence,” he laughs.

The time spent putting truck and dogs into awkward spots meant backing the B-doubles were not the main concern for Api, he just wanted experience with the extra length.

Therefore, while Api was waiting on his new Vawdry B-double set, he towed a single around town and used the time to clock up B-double experience every chance he could.

Truck purchase-wise, memories of the big loud TTS Kenworths from the Cranbourne truck stop meant Api’s mind was firmly focussed on a big bonnet with a huge Kenworth bug on it. “Mainfreight pointed

out I’d be doing a lot of tight deliveries, and they’d prefer a cab-over for access,” Api explains. He had to agree it was a smarter approach. In the end, Api’s first Mainfreight chariot, also his first brand new truck, was a 2018 600hp Volvo Globetrotter.

By this stage in his trucking career, the ex-surgery nurse had been well and truly converted into a fully-fledged truck nut.

His tip trucks were subtly pimped out and always immaculate. Hence, his new Volvo would get enough bells and whistles to carry on the mantle. But still, those truck stop recollections wouldn’t leave him. Add in the added motivation of having already built his dream truck in an online computer game and Api’s drive for a 909 was only getting stronger.

A quick sidebar here. Who is familiar with the American Truck Simulator online

computer game? If you are like me and were born in the days where entertainment consisted of trying to put a stick into your mate’s front wheel as you biked down a hill, then you’ll probably not know what I’m talking about. To put it simply, American Truck Simulator is a game where you can design and build your own truck, then drive it, I presume. I gather you must be able to build them to Australian specs as well because that is exactly what Api had done.

“I really liked the Volvo, but I was still in love with the Kenworths. To satisfy that craving I started playing that game,” he says.

“I was building T909s, all different ones, even in Mainfreight colours. I manifested that before the truck even came up for sale – I’d built one pretty much identical in the game.

And then I found this one, but the Vision came first.”

114

B-double focus Obviously this stunning Kenworth wasn’t merely a result of a manifestation from a computer game. This isn’t Field of Dreams. It is a little uncanny how it all rolled out though.

“I’d decided to sell my tippers to my drivers and just focus on the Mainfreight B-double work,” Api says. At the time he was driving the Volvo all week and then spending weekends maintaining the two tippers and spotlessly washing all the trucks.

“I offered the trucks to the drivers, that was in 2020, then I saw Leon Thorpe advertising his 909.” Sounds like destiny to me.

The ink was barely dry on the ad before Api phoned Thorpe and arranged to go check out the big girl. The 2017 Kenworth T909, with an X15 in it, had clocked up around 600,000km running the east coast.

It came equipped with the fully customised

Thorpe look, including Dynoflex Chino Stacks, Hogebuilt guards, wrapped tanks and a custom front bar. Although it was painted plain white, it was far from a plain truck.

“I looked at it and loved it,” Api laughs. “As soon as I left, I rang my broker and told him I wanted to buy it, he had all the paperwork sorted and it was mine.” It was left at Thorpe’s who took care of getting it transformed into Mainfreight colours and for a few extra lights to be added. “I didn’t want to add too many more, just some around the air cleaners and along the tanks.”

As much as Api loved his Volvo there really were no tears shed when in late 2020 he picked up his freshly revamped 909 and hit the road. He kept the Volvo for a while, put a driver on it and let it loose among the Mainfreight floaters. Building a trucking empire was never in Api’s plans though and he eventually sold it off and focussed on his T909 and getting it around town.

“It’s a great truck, I still love it. In some places I do have to do a five-point turn, but you get used to it,” Api laughs.

For those wondering about the bunk, it’s a full 28-inch IT bunk. “The size was perfect for me, I needed it to fit in front of my 34 pallet set and it is bang on 26 metres,” Api says. “I like to sleep in my own bed at night so I never really use the bunk anyway.”

That’s not to say Api hasn’t taken the big Kenny out of town to share with truck lovers around Australia. He has done a couple of trips to Sydney and Adelaide and even once ventured across the paddock with it. “It was a good experience, but with no bull bar, I only drove during the day.”

As we sit in the shadow of this magnificent Mainfreight Kenworth, its shine is only overshadowed by the smile on Api’s face.

In 10 years, he has come a long way from being an overworked, underpaid nurse to a prouder-than-punch truck owner. He has his dream truck doing his dream work for his dream company.

“I just love it. The more I drive, the more I love it,” Api exclaims.

It is great to see that hard work and a dream really can get you places. I can’t forget to mention Api’s wife Amreen who deserves a lot of credit for supporting him through his trucking and Kenworth addiction, not to mention the time he spent designing trucks on his computer. It really goes to show what you can achieve when you put your mind to it. Now it is Api who gets to drive into the truck stops and hopefully inspire the next generation of truckies.

t’s hard to think of any industrial event, automotive or otherwise, anywhere in the world with the same level of zany appeal as the Japan Mobility Show.

Isuzu’s battery electric Elf EV. It’s the truck we know as the N-series and in both electric and diesel form, it’s on the way to Australia

Formerly known as the Tokyo Motor Show, it has been four years since the previous event but neither the name change nor the COVID-created void have done anything to quell Japan’s quirky presentation of all things automotive.

Weird and wonderful in some ways, brilliant bordering on bizarre in others, sometimes inspiring and occasionally insightful, yet never boring or dull, it is that one time every second year when Japan’s automotive boffins appear to be let loose from strict corporate constraints and free to delight in making the mundane almost magical.

If it’s on wheels and designed to move people or freight, it is the one event that turns tomorrow’s prospects into today’s reality, even if that reality only lasts as long as the show’s 10-day duration.

Over those 10 days though, more than 1.1 million people filed through the turnstiles of the ‘Tokyo Big Sight’ venue for the 2023 event and it’s no idle exaggeration to suggest that a

high percentage of patrons decided to attend on the same Saturday as our visit. Wall to wall doesn’t even begin to describe the density of people but gratefully, mixing with levels of respect and courtesy far more gracious than Western ways. The only notable negative was that on a public day, information on the various exhibits was sparse and for the most part, in Japanese.

Trucks, however, are only part of the attraction and nowadays, possibly an increasingly smaller part as corporate connections alter the traditional landscape.

Unlike some years where European brands like Volvo and Mercedes-Benz tempted Japanese audiences with largely token alternatives to their home grown brands, there was no continental presentation this year, and for good reason.

Things have changed dramatically since the last event four years ago. Daimler Truck, of course, owns the high profile Fuso brand but it’s common knowledge the German giant is also in detailed discussion with Toyota for a close technical ‘relationship’ with its Hino brand. Indeed, some pundits suspect Hino will ultimately morph into another arm of the Daimler Truck powerhouse, leaving

In the Japanese market there’s an equivalent Isuzu Giga version but so far, Volvo isn’t keen on either brand contesting the Australian market with its popular 13 litre powertrain For the first time, Isuzu and UD were presented under a group banner.

Have no doubt though, Isuzu is the boss

The old and the new.

Toyota’s ever popular HiAce van has travelled a long way from the days of the basic box on wheels

In Japan’s micro van market, Daihatsu still sells well and for short city work, a battery electric version makes perfect sense. On the other hand, we’re not sure what sense the bubbly MeMo makes

Fuso’s reshaped Super Great, the truck known here as the Shogun.

The new look appears straight from the Daimler family’s ‘book of Benz’

We’re led to believe this is the next generation of the highly popular Prado. As for the steering wheel, well, we’ll just have to wait and see

Fuso’s modular battery swapping project. Impressive in principle but perhaps complex in practice

It wouldn’t be a Tokyo automotive show without something out of this world.

Toyota’s version of a Mars rover perhaps

The shape of Cruisers to come. We were intrigued by the hatch on the nearside guard which turned out to be an opening for filling an AdBlue tank

Static demonstration of UD’s ‘Active Steering’ system, derived from Volvo’s dynamic steering technology

Built primarily for emerging markets, UD Quester (below left) comes with Volvo’s 11 litre powertrain and now sports the Escot automated transmission derived from Volvo’s slick I-shift box. (Below right) UD Quon equipped with the latest Fujin automated self-driving system.

Automation was all the rage at the previous Tokyo show but now the focuse is squarely on battery electric and fuel cell electric vehicles

Toyota to concentrate totally on its massively successful passenger car, off-road and light commercial van interests.

Meantime, Volvo has sold UD to Isuzu and for the first time, the two Japanese brands shared the same stand under the newly formed ‘Isuzu Group’ banner.

Volvo, however, continues to supply engine and drivetrain componentry to the heavyduty models of both brands, including the 13 litre engine which the Swedes have until recently, refused to supply to any brand other than Mack and Volvo.

Consequently, the Japanese market now sports flagship models of both UD’s Quon and Isuzu’s latest Giga, punched by 530hp versions of Volvo’s versatile D13 engine driving through derivations of the super-slick I-shift automated transmission.

For now though, and much to the frustration of Isuzu Australia, it seems neither the 13 litre Quon nor Isuzu’s equivalent Giga will be making their way Down Under anytime soon, with Volvo Group Australia (VGA) fiercely intent on protecting its Volvo FM range from the intrusion of Japanese

rivals. And strangely, that includes the UD Quon which VGA continues to distribute in our neck of the woods.

Such are the seemingly weird ways of corporate contracts.

Yet the Isuzu Group display appeared split on strict lines with Isuzu largely showcased as the technological master in both its heavy and light-duty exhibits, and UD more the fundamental heavy hauler with its GW 530 Quon and alongside, the Quester model designed primarily for third world markets.

That’s not to say, however, that UD was completely outside the technological square, with the brand also featuring a Quon tipper equipped with the latest version of its Fujin self-driving automation system. Still, where automation was the technological theme for a number of leading Japanese brands at the previous event in 2019, this year the biggest agenda across the entire automotive spectrum was the inevitable evolution of battery electric and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles.

Typifying the trends among Japan’s truck makers, Isuzu’s presentation of a Giga eightwheeler powered by a hydrogen fuel cell developed in conjunction with Honda, and the brand’s new N-series electric vehicle (also shown earlier this year at the Brisbane Truck Show) left no doubt that Isuzu specifically and Japan generally will not be found fumbling for technology as the automotive world gradually works its way to a carbon-free future.

Anyway, the photos will hopefully highlight just a smidgin of Japan’s prospective path to tomorrow, real and imagined.

An early start Isuzu Australia’s Jeff Gibson

Is it ever too early to start training? Not according to this youngster

For Isuzu Australia’s light-duty product manager Jeff Gibson, the 2023 Japan Mobility Show was about much more than nuts and bolts, trends and technologies.

A major highlight was, he says with genuine resolve, the combined and hugely professional initiative of major automotive brands to entice children and young people into an industry whose need for dedicated

and highly skilled technicians will continue to grow exponentially as technology advances.

“The Japanese motor industry is dedicated to ensuring they protect their own,” Jeff exclaimed, “and what I saw at this year’s event in Tokyo was the essence of a grass roots approach to inducting the youngest generation into the industry.

“To witness the collaboration between manufacturers, each creating a passion in impressionable young people, speaks volumes for the future of the Japanese automotive industry.

“I was truly in awe of how they methodically and patiently explained the principles of how an engine works, the concepts of vehicle design, and even the future of zero emissions vehicles and how a fuel cell works,” he remarked.

Reflecting on his own progression through the automotive ranks, Jeff explained, “I was lucky. I grew up in a household with a true passion for motor vehicles large and small, and that passion was passed to me and it felt inevitable I was going to make a career of it.

“I was also lucky to get my hands dirty before the advent of electronic devices but in 2023 and into the very near future, we are at the dawn of a new generation in trucks and they will be the most advanced vehicles we have ever seen.

“In my estimation,” he continued, “our industry is at a crisis point. With looming

technology in trucks, the need for a higher level of training and the supporting intelligence it requires are in very high demand.

“However, we not only need to entice great people to the workshop floor but we need to educate the industry that maintenance of highly sophisticated vehicles needs highly sophisticated technicians.

Learning the basics of how an engine works.

The lessons can be lifelong

“Japan shows how it can and possibly should be done and as an industry, Australia must find better ways to build the passion that many of us have for our industry.

“It is perhaps a cliché but it is nonetheless true that without trucks Australia stops.

It is just as true, however, that without technicians, the trucks stop,” Jeff Gibson concluded.

Branching out A new Traralgon branch will help Toyota Material Handling Australia better engage with the Gippsland region, the company says Toyota Material Handling Australia (TMHA) has acquired an existing forklift distributor in Traralgon, appointing the branch staff as new employees of the company.

The company says the new TMHA Traralgon base will support further growth of THMA’s range of Toyota forklifts, Huski Construction Equipment and other allied products.

TMHA previously had a presence in Gippsland region from its existing Dandenong branch, however the growth of the Toyota forklift brand in the area has prompted the need for an upgrade to a more locationally dedicated facility, the company says.

The new facility features a fully functional workshop, capable of handling both pre-delivery and general service work, as well as a fabrication bay and general workshop bays.

It also includes pallet racking for parts and pre-delivery storage, a freight dispatch bay, machine storage areas and a generous office space.

TMHA President and CEO Steve Takacs said the addition of the new Traralgon branch would help

TMHA establish its footprint in the Gippsland region, helping it to better service customers.

“We are thrilled to be adding a new dedicated regional branch in Traralgon, which will help improve the service we offer our valued customers while increasing our base in the area,” Takacs says.

“The ability to effectively and efficiently support our product from within the specific region is a very exciting opportunity for us.

“This dedicated TMHA facility provides us with room to grow the business and bring on more customers, which we will certainly be looking to do.”

For existing Gippsland-based customers, the new branch will also allow for increased parts and service capabilities, with sales teams also able to house greater levels of stock in the region.

Contact the TMHA Traralgon branch, located at 33 Stratton Drive, Traralgon, on (03) 5173 0600 or free-call 1800 425 438. It is open 7:30am - 5:00pm Monday – Friday.

Kaeser’s new CSG.1 oil-free compression rotary screw compressors have a focus on purity and efficiency

Zero hour New oil-free compression rotary screw compressor range delivers 16 per cent higher flow rates, Kaeser says Kaeser Australia has released a new oil-free compression rotary screw compressor suited to specialised engineering applications such as pharmaceuticals and chemical manufacture.

The new CSG.1 rotary screw compressors have air flow rates ranging from 4 to 15 cubic metres per minute and pressures up to 11 bar.

Customers are offered the choice of air- or water-cooling and can select an optional integrated refrigeration dryer or an i.HOC (Heat of Compression) dryer.

The CSG.1 can be specified as a fixed speed, fixed flow rated machine or, for applications with fluctuating compressed air demand, variable speed controlled “SFC” versions are available with IE5 Ultra-Premium Efficiency synchronous reluctance motors.

The compressors have a residual oil class 0 certificate confirmed by TÜV Rheinland in accordance with ISO 8573-1, minimising the risk of potential product contamination though a Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) analysis.

Its Sigma Control 2 controller enables connection to any master compressed air management system and continually monitors sensors throughout the CSG.1 (including motor bearing temperature, winding temperatures and airend vibration) to ensure it is operating within its optimal conditions at all times.

Kaeser says this means the CSG.1 series compressors can deliver 16 per cent higher flow rates from the equivalent power-rated motor in prior models.

Additional improvements to the compressor heat recovery systems allows the heat generated by compression to be easily incorporated into other aspects of the business, such as space or process heating, thus allowing maximum reduction in the CO2 footprint.

The updated CSG.1 series sees service intervals for the compressor as well as gear oil changes extended by 50 per cent.

This reduces service costs and means fewer materials are consumed.
