Isn’t the idea not to end up with piles?

O

ne thing we don’t do well as a species is evaluation. Aside from the inherent primal desire for anything new and shiny, there’s a high probability that in the search for societal acceptance and leadership, we’ll sometimes fall into line behind the pack too quickly. Our myopic adherence to ever more bizarre compliance in recent years would be a good example.

Another potentially blossoming example concerns battery electrical vehicles (BEVs). We’re told that in the quest for particulate, NOx, and CO2 reduction, they’re the ‘bomb’, no question. That might well be the case, but fundamentally, why are we moving away from the internal combustion engine?

It’s not anything about them not having served us well, it’s about the pollution they emit that we don’t know what to do with. We ran headlong toward nuclear for a spell as it was a highly productive means to generate energy for a new, growing, modern world. The vexing question of what to do with highly radioactive spent fuel rods at the end of life was conveniently popped into the ‘experts will have all that sorted by the time we get there’ pigeonhole. Of course, we have no idea what the hell to do with them and a couple of harrowing brushes with the universe’s engine room – when it didn’t behave the way we wanted it to– has us all running from it like mice when the barn door opens.

So, some are asking the valid question of what we do with the mountain of used batteries that’s already started to grow as a result of our rapidly escalating BEV uptake. It’s interesting, because even at this early stage, our old friend and ultimate nemesis, greed… in the form of…yes, money, appears firmly in control of the reins. If we’re not careful we’re at risk of giving the soil and groundwater a good thrashing for the next ‘hundy’ years, having almost toxified the atmosphere to the point of uninhabitability.

There’s no question alarm bells are ringing, but it doesn’t take much research to find they were early in the twentieth century also in respect to internal combustion. Sadly, the noise generated by the euphoria was too great for anyone to hear them.

Nickel-metal hydrate (NiMH) and lithium ion batteries certainly don’t come free of issues. Currently a lot of response to the ‘what do we do with…’ question is around putting the batteries to second, third, and fourth life applications that are progressively less taxing on the battery, but there’s still one more ‘and then what’ left after that.

Obviously, battery development is progressing at breakneck pace and entrepreneurs around the globe are seeing opportunities in battery recycling. There’s also a move away from NiMH as it’s the nastiest of the Beagle Boys when it comes to leftovers, but I’ve read a couple of interesting pieces of late on the recycling of lithium ion batteries that boggled my mind. Turns out that at the moment they’re not entirely recyclable, not on account of man’s inability to do so, but due to the cost-effectiveness of doing so. One commentator said that maybe we should fully recycle the batteries as that will maintain supply chain stability. Go figure. Isn’t the true cost of a new battery the sum of all new and repatriated components…all of them, not just some – divided by the total production, with a few bucks chucked in to cover what we haven’t thought of?

OEMs have to be held accountable for ensuring a genuinely closed loop supply chain, and if that means land-based transport costs for humanity go up, either temporarily or permanently, then so be it.

The last thing we want is to be here in a hundred years trying to figure out how we’re going to meet the requirements of the Rome, Berlin, Dallas, Sydney or whatever agreement, pursuant to the reduction of heavy metal concentrates in soil and water caused through waste batteries.

The arrogant idea harboured by so many that their forbearers were ignorant of their actions couldn’t be farther from the truth. What they risk finding out is one generation’s worth of evolution doesn’t drastically alter the lusts of the species.

What tends to affect that is the threat of war or environmental annihilation. One card’s always been in play, the others on the tips of the dealer’s fingers.

Kiwi companies crack the Holy Grail

M

yTrucking has integrated its job management platform with transport technology company EROAD. The partnership will allow customers to accurately and instantly calculate income per kilometre in a simple report that combines job management data from MyTrucking’s system with distance, time and spatial data from EROAD. The streamlined process makes life easier for despatchers, administration staff and drivers, eliminating paper and producing vehicle performance metrics reports for each vehicle per day, week or month.

“We launched MyTrucking with the goal of making life easier for transport operators by replacing paper-based systems with powerful, cloud-based job management software,” said Sara Orsborn, marketing director and co-founder of MyTrucking. “The power of this integration takes this a step further, offering our joint customers one simple system that combines distance and billing.”

Customers who use both MyTrucking and the EROAD system will automatically benefit from the integration, at no extra cost.

“Our partnership with MyTrucking gives our joint customers the confidence they are billing every job – which means improved cashflow and improved customer service,” said Tony

MyTrucking/EROAD users will be able to run a simple and smart report (reportable daily) that combines daily vehicle distances from EROAD, and income from MyTrucking. MyTrucking will automatically calculate per km rate per vehicle for any selected period.

Some have spent a career in search of being able to get these numbers in a heartbeat. Now it’s available and affordable.

Warwood, EROAD New Zealand general manager.

Until 30 June 2018 any fleet that signs up with MyTrucking through EROAD will receive their first month of use of the MyTrucking system free and any new fleet signing up with EROAD through MyTrucking will receive the first five installs (standard install only) from EROAD at half price.

Manawatu Gorge update

N

Z Transport Agency’s project team has begun geotechnical investigations along the proposed corridor of the Manawatu Gorge replacement route. Project manager Lonnie Dalzell said drill rigs are taking ground core samples that provide key information, including confirmation of assumptions made during early assessments or the type of materials below the surface in key design areas such cut areas or structure locations.

Helicopters are being used to transport drill rigs to areas not accessible by vehicle. The investigations are a vital part in determining the exact designation for the new road and support the development of an application for the relevant approvals under the Resource Management Act 1991 (RMA).

NZTA will be seeking feedback from stakeholders and the general public on the preferred option and design refinements prior to lodging any applications for RMA approvals. At this stage, it is envisaged that the relevant applications will be lodged before the end of 2018.

Drill rigs take samples on the new route to assess material composition.

New bridge over the Opaoa River … at last

F

unding to construct a new bridge over the Opaoa River in Blenheim has been confirmed by the NZ Transport Agency.

“This project is important to people in Blenheim and those people living in the region who use the bridge to access central Blenheim,” said NZTA South Island director of regional relationships Jim Harland. “It is also an important link on State Highway 1 between Picton and Christchurch, particularly for freight.”

NZTA has allocated $21 million to the construction phase of the project. Once a contractor is engaged, a start date will be finalised, with the new bridge construction expected to take about 18 months.

Harland says the new bridge will make State Highway 1 more resilient to natural disasters and more secure as the strategic freight route between Picton and Christchurch.

NZTA has confirmed that the existing Opawa Bridge, a Heritage NZ Category 1 Heritage Place, will be retained for pedestrians and cyclists.

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ Paying the price for lack of enforcement

L

ivestock transport operators have been disappointed in the way farmers, OSPRI and MPI failed to implement and properly enforce stock movement regulations as is their responsibility under the National Animal Identification and Tracing (NAIT) scheme, said Road Transport Forum chief executive Ken Shirley.

“These regulations were put in place for a reason, as we are now finding out to the country’s considerable cost with the Mycoplasma bovis outbreak,” he said.

Stock trucks were fitted with effluent tanks with a finite capacity that required frequent emptying. Farmers were not always standing stock off green feed prior to transport to reduce effluent

production, and local government and meat processing companies had been tardy in providing access to effluent disposal facilities. Access to traditional disposal facilities was also being restricted, fearing disease spread.

“With Mycoplasma bovis upon us greater demands are being put on stock transporters to wash and sanitise their vehicles but there has been no focus on the provision of adequate effluent

New Quon ESCOT rolls into town

UD

Trucks New Zealand hosted dealers and media at Pukekohe Park Raceway last month for a product information and drive day with the company’s Quon heavy-duty truck range.

UD director vehicle sales international, Yoshikazu Suzuki, and Volvo Group Australia vice president for sales, UD trucks Mark Strambi, accompanied UD New Zealand general manager John Gerbich and senior Sime Darby executives Pat McKenna and Chris Brown at the function.

Two GW 26.460s were present, one in tractor semi trim loaded with a container grossing 36 tonne, and one in truck and dog tipper configuration loaded to around 45 tonne.

“Were not holding back on these trucks, we’re going to be loud and proud. These are the best UD trucks ever,” said Strambi. “And that’s the theme we’re using here in New Zealand.” Although Strambi went on to say that this just the beginning and over the next two years the market will see a lot more, he didn’t give any indication as to what that was. When quizzed, all parties were adamant there was no road map for a return to a 13-litre power plant.

General manager UD Trucks New Zealand John Gerbich said there was a genuine air of excitement throughout the New Zealand UD team, and the response from the

customer base had been outstanding, with four units in active service currently, several more nearing completion, and forward orders of 82 since the sales book opened last November.

The new range includes 8x4 options, however the top end 460hp 8x4 is not expected to be in build until last quarter this year as it’s still going through compliance in regard to emissions plumbing. The GH11 engine meets PPNLT emissions standards, exceeding Euro 6.

There is no question the new UD Quon range lifts the bar, on safety features in particular, for a Japanese heavy truck, and the influence of parent Volvo is hugely apparent.

Included now are an adaptive cruise, and emergency braking system called Traffic Eye Cruise Control and Brake system, stability control, lane departure warning, a driver alert system, disc brakes, ‘blended braking’ (automatically synchronised auxiliary braking, service braking, and downshifts), and an uneven load adjustment function.

Inside the truck is certainly a step change from previous models and arguably establishes a new playing field for product from the region in terms of finish and environment. Read more on the new Quon in the coming months.

Heartland and Hino partner up

H

eartland Bank has partnered with Hino Distributors NZ to create Hino Finance – an online finance platform that offers a simple application process for those wanting truck finance for new and used Hino trucks as well as for repairs and maintenance.

Heartland Bank’s head of business, Peter Griffin, said Hino Finance was born out of the bank wanting to take its successful Open for Business platform for SMEs to a wider market as well as wanting to leverage its experience with truck finance.

“We are delighted to have joined forces with one of New Zealand’s premier truck brands to create Hino Finance. Hino more than fits the bill with its nationwide presence and its comprehensive offering.”

Griffin said Hino Finance has been set up with speed and simplicity in mind. People can make an online application at any time, on any device, and get a decision within minutes.

Darren Salt, general manager of Hino, said he was pleased Hino could now offer customers an online finance option under the Hino Finance banner.

“We know trucks and Heartland Bank know how to finance them, so this partnership is about taking the best of both and packaging it up for our customers in a simple, online offering.”

Argosy ends in early 2020

F

reightliner New Zealand has announced the current generation Argosy model will not be replaced.

The company says the much-loved American cabover model will depart New Zealand showrooms in early 2020, the same year the company launches the all-new Freightliner Cascadia.

The iconic Argosy nameplate was introduced in New Zealand in 1999 and soon developed a strong following among customers.

“The Argosy has been a very popular model in New Zealand thanks to its low tare, spacious cab and its tough American powerplant, in a package developed for maximum productivity,” said Daimler Truck and Bus New Zealand senior manager, Pieter Theron.

Australia and New Zealand are the only markets in the world where the Argosy is sold, after the nameplate exited the US market in 2004 and the South African market in 2014.

“In 2020, we will say goodbye to the much-loved Argosy and welcome the advanced Cascadia, a model that will signal the start a new and exciting era for Freightliner in New Zealand,” Theron said.

Currently, the Argosy is available with the choice of Detroit 15-litre DD15, 15-litre Cummins ISX, or X15 in-line sixcylinder engines.

The Argosy is a striking example of continuous improvement, with key changes being made in response to customer feedback over the years. These include a range of measures to improve refinement levels and reinforcement of the innovative automatic fold-out step for increased durability and safety.

Transport operators victims in fiasco

R

oad Transport Forum chief executive Ken Shirley has sympathised with road transport operators caught up in the Peter Wastney Engineering fiasco, and accepts the NZ Transport Authority’s decision to revoke certification for drawbeams and drawbars he originally certified.

“There are simply too many unknowns concerning the quality of the fabrications and certification analysis to have any level of confidence that a failure of the components in-service would not occur,” said Shirley. “The risk to the drivers of the vehicles and the public are just far too high and it goes without saying that safety must be the primary consideration in these situations.

14

New Zealand Trucking

July 2018

Shirley said through no fault of their own, operators had to take vehicles off the road, resulting in a substantial loss of earnings. While NZTA was doing all they could to assist operators with replacement and recertification as quickly as possible and will compensate operators for those costs, Shirley said the the industry was disappointed NZTA’s auditing and accreditation processes did not pick up the problems with Wastney’s certifications much earlier.

“Road transport operators are the victims here and while I encourage them to pursue lost business costs from Peter Wastney and his insurers, NZTA must take some responsibility.”

Changes at Long Haul Publications

R

ecently Long Haul Publications said goodbye to advertising salesman Tony Orr and welcomed his replacement, Heavyn Parsons.

Tony worked for New Zealand Trucking magazine for 24 years and had a wealth of knowledge of the industry. He says he was injected with diesel and a love of trucks from an early age as his uncle used to let him drive his 1418 Mercedes stock unit home empty from the freezing works in the dark.

“After escaping school as soon as possible I did my mechanics apprenticeship, got my HT, then drove for several rural carriers in Southland. There’s nothing like rural transport work to teach you the industry and those were the days when you repaired your own punctures!”

Tony Orr he laughs.

Tony had bought and sold cars as a sideline and sold cars here and then in Australia for a while, but says trucks always got the better of him and he ended up driving cement tankers out of Bathurst.

This was followed by a stint in W.A. operating machinery in the goldmines near Kalgoorlie until he returned home in 1990 and settled in Christchurch, slotting back into driving.

“In 1994 I was offered an opportunity to Heavyn Parsons become the South Island advertising rep for Truck Trader magazine. As I had a young family I felt this position would help me see more of them and also utilise my transport industry knowledge and sales skills, so I said yes.”

Tony reminisces how 24 years ago New Zealand Trucking magazine was still run by its founding Kiwi owners, but was soon sold to INL and then to Fairfax Media, both large publishing corporates.

“And now it’s back in Kiwi ownership again. I’ve enjoyed working for all the owners and seeing their different perspectives on how to get the job done, but most of all I’ve enjoyed working with the people in the industry and I would like to thank them all for their loyalty to me and their friendship.”

Tony says trucks still remain one of his passions and he will still be involved in the industry, running his own contracting business and travelling more when time allows.

Heavyn Parsons took over from Tony on 21 May. For the past 10 years she has been working in sales roles, for everything from large corporates to family owned businesses.

“Sales is much more than just order taking,” says Heavyn. “I love working alongside customers and helping implement their vision and goals within the market.”

Heavyn is a born and bred Westie, but says moving to Pukekohe with her partner in May has been a great move.

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ Tyres going full circle in a big way

I

n May Waste Management NZ Limited opened a new tyre recycling facility in Auckland. With support from the Ministry for the Environment’s Waste Minimisation Fund, the company has invested in innovative new tyre processing equipment from the United States, expanding the processing capacity of the company’s facility by 250%.

This will lead to the shredding of 30,000 tonnes per annum, or three million car tyres.

Some 60,000 tonnes of tyre waste is generated annually in New Zealand from 4.2 million cars and trucks. As they do not decompose, end-of-life tyres are a critical issue for the environment.

Waste Management’s processing facility provides a local

solution, with the shredded material being supplied for re-use in manufacturing as tyre derived fuel (TDF), reducing waste stockpiling and turning a discarded resource into energy.

Tom Nickels, Waste Management managing director, said this was a positive step forward for tyre recycling in New Zealand.

“Sustainability is our core purpose at Waste Management.

This facility will play a key role in tackling a growing environmental problem that is a cause of concern for many New Zealanders.”

Tyres have a very high calorific value that provides a beneficial source of fuel for a range of purposes, including powering cement kilns and power plants.

The new facility will increase the processing capacity of Waste Management’s operation by 250%

Intertruck Distributors’ Jarod Maclennan takes inaugural Sales Star Award

J

arod Maclennan has been named winner of Intertruck’s inaugural Sales Star Award.

Intertruck NZ sales manager Hugh Green says the sales award was introduced to recognise the salesman who sold the largest number of trucks in a year.

“Jarod was up against a couple of very experienced salesmen and has proven himself to be very dedicated to what he does. He’s built some really good relationships with customers that we traditionally struggled to get in the door of, and he’s been able to get in there and sell trucks to them.

He’s excellent at building relationships, that’s his strongest point. His customers seem to really trust him, which is quite unusual in the truck sales business.”

“He has built good customer relationships and that follows our brand very well, and that is why he’s succeeding,” said Intertruck general manager Comer Board.

As for the secret to Jarod’s success?

“I just go out and try my best every day to try and help promote the company and get more and more of our trucks on the road. Building a relationship is the biggest thing. It’s always good to have your customer ring you up and say, ‘you know, it’s time for another truck’ or ‘we’re looking at more’.”

Ranger line-up gets update

H

ot on the heels of Raptor news came details of updates to the 2019 Ranger.

On sale from October 2018 from $37,990, the range offers more safety features in a vehicle that costs less to run.

The Wildtrak will share the Ranger Raptor’s new-gen 2.0litre Bi-Turbo diesel engine, while the 10-speed auto is pitched at a more comfortable drive experience, lower thirst and improved climbing ability in slippery conditions.

All three engine options – 2.2, 3.2 and Bi-Turbo – have a tow rating of 3500kg. Suspension upgrades were aimed at reducing corner roll, and better performance when loaded, or towing.

Wildtrak will also get auto emergency braking, including pedestrian recognition, and for the first time Ranger will identify traffic signs, and show the new speed limit on the instrument cluster.

Wildtrak will also feature Lane Keeping Aid and Alert, adaptive cruise control, active park assist with semi-auto parallel parking.

Buyers can also expect smart keyless entry, a power tailgate lock, an 8-inch colour touch screen, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

All Rangers will get an easy-lift tailgate that cuts initial force needed to raise it by 70 percent, and prevents it dropping suddenly when lowered.

Cosmetic changes have also been made to the grille and lower bumper.

Amarok gets more power

V

olkswagen New Zealand has confirmed our market will get an upgrade to the 3.0-litre V6 turbo diesel engine, which will lift power to 190kW – or 200kW on overboost – and 580Nm of torque. The current engine delivers its torque from 1400rpm, handing over to peak power around the 3000rpm threshold, and the new motor is pitched to deliver its best from equally low revs, via permanent all-wheel drive and an 8-speed auto.

Head of VW commercial vehicles NZ, Kevin Richards, says he expects a limited number available toward the end of this year, with more supply into 2019.

Patrick Joseph (Pat) Mear 1946 – 2018

I

t is with great sadness New Zealand Trucking records the passing of another of the road transport industry’s stalwarts.

Patrick Joseph Mear, legendary trailer builder, known to all of us as Pat, died at his Papamoa home on 6 May 2018, aged 71 years.

It has been a difficult period for our industry. Along with many highlights, there have been sad points, including the recent loss of this magazine’s own John Murphy, Transport Technology’s Geoff Walsh, and now Pat. It is perhaps a tribute to all three men – and to our industry – that their funerals and life celebrations attracted hundreds of their contemporaries, competitors, customers, and even newcomers to our industry.

The road transport industry of New Zealand embraces the future, but – rightly – honours its past.

Pat was not born into trailer building, his family were dairy farmers in Waerenga Valley near Te Kauwhata. But when he did reach the industry in the late 60s he characteristically grasped it with both hands, and until his retirement in 2011 he never let it go.

In December 1991, Pat, together with Lyall McGee, Ross Bell and Bill Lacey, formed Roadmaster Trailers with very little capital and no plant. Roadmaster soon became, as it remains today, one of the largest and most respected of our trailer builders.

It would also be true to say that Pat, along with others such as Neil Peterken, transformed our industry. It was Pat and Neil who brought curtainsiders and B-trains to our shores.

It is those trailers, Roadmaster and the Mear name though his three sons and one grandson in the industry, that will live

on as legacies of one of our greats. We honour that. Pat, you were and are a true legend.

Pat’s celebration of his life was held at Legacy Garden near his Papamoa home, on 10 May. He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Eveleen, their five children, 13 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.

square Story by Dave McCoid Photos and video by Dave McCoid and Carl Kirkbeck

Thanks to an impeccable run from an early XF95, DAF’s big cab offering still has a special place in a company where its US stablemate holds centre court. We jumped in with Gundy Transport Ltd driver Gary Ngatai to find out why he’s all smiles in a world surrounded by bugs.

W The DAF runs up and down the line in the night. The top lights on the cab are truly an asset for that work.

ill Gundesen loves his Kenworths. He remembers as a kid he and his mate Andrew watching them rumble through Featherston in the Wairarapa and dream of a day when they would either drive or own one. Today, Andrew’s been to Aus and lived the dream, he’s home now and does contract fencing, keeping himself amused with an old tip truck.

Will on the other hand has ended up owning more than one Kenworth under his Gundy Transport Ltd operation, servicing the needs of customer Foodstuffs New Zealand.

But it’s not just the Kenworth brand that’s present in the immaculate Palmerston North-based operation, there’s also Kenworth’s PACCAR stablemate DAF. You’d be forgiven for thinking that’s not entirely surprising, but there’s more to the story. The DAF has earned its spot, not through corporate association, but through toil. A DAF XF95 was Will’s first brand new truck. A truck that had no idea it carried far more than merely a load on its back…and it delivered in every respect. Today that truck has done the thick end of two million kilometres with nothing to blot its copybook, having only ever had new turbos and an emissions upgrade beyond routine servicing. The ‘old girl’ as the fastidious Will affectionately calls her, played a

significant role in standing Gundy Transport up. That truck rightfully earned the marque its seat at the company dinner table.

So, we move to the latest DAF to enter service in the Gundesen fleet. There’s been a generation between the original XF95 and this month’s test truck. Will’s first foray into the world of the XF105 didn’t end with quite the same high honours the original 95 achieved. In this double-shifted fleet uptime is paramount and a life dogged by cooling pipe failures at inconvenient times proved annoying to say the least. It was made worse by a lack of hose compatibility between not just the previous truck, but also other contemporary models, meaning cannibalising the old or nearby to keep the rig rolling was never an option.

“It was frustrating. The core engine never missed a beat, it was the things hanging off it and plugged into it,” said Will.

But Will’s a fair man and so the when the first 105 was traded on a Kenworth K108E having done close to a million kilometres, the DAF spot in the fleet was filled with this latest edition, the second XF105. But this time he’s taken out the full fleet maintenance package, just as a precaution.

“The old girl was so reliable I didn’t bother with the first 105,” said Will. “This time I’ve taken the option. It’s one of those things that if she goes as well as the old girl they’ll be on a winner. But it’s peace of mind. Having said that I can see things have changed with this one, things like braided cooling hoses, so she should be all good. They’re a beautiful truck. You won’t get Gary out of it, I’ll tell you that.”

life in the hands of two dedicated drivers. Annual kilometres hover around the 260,000 mark so as we said above, uptime is paramount. And owner Will is right in there amongst it, leading from the front, driving his fat cab K200 Kenworth on a day shift to the capital and back before it heads on its night run to Taranaki.

“You have to keep on top of maintenance. You run the kilometres up so quick,” said Will. “Especially when you do your best to keep them nice. A truck or trailer can look sharp as and yet it’s well into its second mill.

“I think one of the reasons we get such good runs out of the gear is it’s never cold.”

The DAF runs Palmerston North to Auckland completing three returns a week in the hands of trucking veteran Gary Ngatai. When it’s home, day driver Max Taylor will do a day run, having the truck back in time for Gary to reload and head north. Generally speaking it’s a well-oiled machine, and there’s always the ‘old girl’ sitting in the wings ready to fill in the gaps when trucking does its thing, and maintenance requirements or operational quirks attempt to foil the plan.

We meet Gary at Palmerston North on a mid-autumn afternoon. He’s had the call that there’s a ‘load and go’ at Americold cool stores. It’s going to be an early getaway, and even this late in the year light will be our friend until Mangaweka at least.

It’s a treat because so much of Gary’s driving life has been around controlled temperature line-haul work…meaning he’s been an owl. Spearing into the night behind a set of lights, bringing food to us all has been the norm for this man and as he said himself with a laugh, “It’s great when I get up or down country in the light. I can see what I’ve been driving past all this time.”

Gary whips the DAF into the dock, and in double-quick

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ You get what you pay for…you get lots “The thing I really like about the Euros is the stuff that comes as standard,” said Will Gundesen. “The things that come with this as part of a package that you don’t get on the others, the fridge and all that stuff.”

Yes, if you’re given an XF105 to drive and you can find much to whinge about upon entering the good abode you’re just one of those people who would likely find fault with anything.

It’s a very different world from the CF. You’d imagine it to simply be a higher version, and in many ways – fit, finish, basic look – it is, but it’s also not. How confusing is that? Quite a bit we’re guessing.

It’s a big cabover so there’s a fourstep climb to get in that’s well lit at night with no issues around grab handles etc. Elevation does a lot for a truck and the CF had a very fleet feel. If getting in and out a zillion times a day is your sentence then it’s the one, no doubt.

But if driving a zillion clicks a day is your groove and getting in and out doesn’t feature often then it’s got to be the XF. Like the Actros, Arocs, Globetrotter etc, you could live in here, easily.

It’s not a totally flat floor, there’s a hump of about 140mm, but in the Super Space cab there’s a full 2.1m of clear standing room and enough storage in the overheads, under the bunks, and outside cab lockers (accessible from

‘Give me clarity!’ Okay. There you go. If that’s confusing you need a therapist, not a better truck.

the inside) to accommodate a livein couple. There are two bunks in the Gundesen truck and Gary’s tried them both, saying the upper is every bit as comfy as the lower. Between the seats and under the bunks are the pull-out storage drawer and the 42-litre fridge.

Fit and finish-wise DAF have nailed it, with something we’ve referred to before – serviceable luxury. Heavy plastics, vinyls and rubbers in mid-tones make for high wear and fast, easy cleaning, exactly what’s needed at the end of a week. And best of all it’s not a dust trap like so many of the Japanese trucks can be. Unlike them it’s light on nooks and crannies. It’s a big easy-clean cube outside and in.

The DAF dash is a no-nonsense efficient affair finished with a silver alloy look behind controls and instruments.

Central in the main instrument binnacle is a data screen with information under vehicle information, service, trip info and settings chapters, and you toggle through with a big knob on the dash.

The left wand has wipers and dip and right the auxiliary brake/paddle shifter.

Twin bunks, huge standing room, fridge, storage, and a pull-out table. Warm, almost opulent. Maybe a heap of DAF cabs dotted around the joint is the affordable housing solution?

There’s a wrap and central console separating driver and passenger that houses a pull-out table, and there’s some switchgear on the face of the console which is a bit out of the way considering there’s a couple of storage slides in the dash wrap. I’d have thought having things like a hazard switch on the main dash was a higher priority. A typical Euro, it lacks flamboyance but all works extremely well and is an exceptionally easy place to spend the day.

The end is nigh…

Obviously the current XF and CF’s days here are numbered, with replacements carrying the model designates XF and CF (go figure) having been available in Europe for some time. The new trucks are Euro 6 specced and devilishly handsome. With Euro 6 not expected to be mandated here for four or five years there’s no hurry in that regard, however with the FH Volvo, MAN D38 and more recently Merc’s new range all here and in place, the cavalry for Scania and DAF can’t come soon enough.

We asked Southpac’s general sales manager Richard Smart when we might expect to see the new model.

“We are in the early stages of testing and defining the exact specifications to suit New Zealand. We are different from other Euros in that we don’t sell a blueprinted Euro for export; we build what we need to suit the environment they work in. So we will do some in-country testing later this year to determine the exact driveline, shift patterns, ratios etc. for our customers and then launch to market once we have finished that.”

Exciting times, and it won’t be a second too soon. While the DAFs still have much to offer, their looks are starting to date ever so slightly, especially when compared with some of the competition, and certainly their own latest model.

All that aside, there’s no doubt it is still very hip to be square.

Good Will Hauling Like so many of us, 47-year-old Will Gundesen started life on a farm. They’re a great place for young people to be introduced to both farming – obviously – and mechanical things. Will had more than a passing interest in trucks and machinery from an early age and when farming didn’t prove viable on account of the family holding in Featherston being too small, it was always going to be something that internally combusts.

He started driving full time for local carrier Tony Olszewski when he was 21 on a 4x2 Foden doing a produce run, loading at Grenada in Wellington and delivering to Woolworths stores in the Wairarapa.

From the ‘You just don’t know when a good deed will pay off’ department, Will was in a line one day waiting to deliver when a Linfox Logistics driver, also waiting, appeared to be having trouble with his truck, unable to do his deliveries. If you’ve spent any time with Will, what happened next will come as no surprise. Once he finished his own deliveries, Will hooked on to the Linfox trailer and delivered the other chap’s load.

When, sometime later, Linfox Logistics took over the Woolworths Distribution contract for the lower North Island, Will was summoned to Linfox for a job interview. That’s what hard work and an old school sense of community does for you.

Will worked at Linfox as a company driver for six and a half years. He started on a UD but when a heap of new Freightliner Century Class trucks started arriving he opted instead for an older T401 Kenworth that another driver stepped out of.

In 2002 the opportunity to go ownerdriver with the company came along

and Will took a big breath, bought a low kilometre ex-Truck Rentals Volvo FH12, and got stuck in.

“They were scary times, the start of it all when everything’s on the line.

You think, ‘man I hope this thing keeps going’. I’m used to it now and just deal with stuff as it comes along.

“That Volvo took some getting used to. After the Kenworth, the cab rocked and rolled and carried on,” chuckled Will.

In 2003 he upgraded to what’s now the ‘old girl’. A brand new DAF XF95 6x4 tractor.

People gave me stick about buying a 530hp truck for Palmy – Wellington, but it proved itself in the long run.”

The DAF worked the Palmy – Wellington/Palmy – Wairarapa on double shift and things were going along well until a restructure in the end customer’s business resulted in a reconfiguring of the supply runs. Will was now single-manning the truck and heading all over the country – Wellington, Wairarapa, Taranaki, Auckland, and the Bay of Plenty. It was a tough gig and things weren’t stacking up as well.

Having carted out of Tegal’s facility regularly over the years Will was made aware of the need for contractors at Foodstuffs. Unable to keep going as he was, in 2007 he left the ownerdriver position at Linfox, taking up a contractor’s position at the big Kiwiowned cooperative.

Since that stake in the ground decision Gundy Transport Ltd has grown steadily, taking on new opportunities within the relationship as they’ve been offered. What it’s meant is a staggered retirement for his old original DAF. “Every time I put her out to pasture a new run comes along and I have to get

Grassroots values towards people and effort has got Will Gundesen to where he is today.

her back on the job. I think she’s pretty much done this time though other than filling in for maintenance and that.”

Today the Gundy Transport fleet consists of three cabover Kenworths and the two DAFs (the old and the new), all bar one working hard every day…and that ‘one’ has earned her peace.

Hard work and being such a genuine bloke has put Will where he is today. Wife Erin runs a dog grooming business, and daughter Shanelle, and stepdaughters Kerrie and Ashleigh, are all starting to make their own ways in the world…as yet no one appears to have diesel in the bloodstream and that doesn’t bother Will in the slightest.

“I love me Kenworths, always have, but these [DAF] are a bloody nice truck, I love them. You need to be happy. I like them all clean and looking right which can be hard in a double-shift operation. I don’t bling them up to ‘be anything’ or ‘say anything’. It’s just my thing. It goes back to being a kid and seeing all the Kenworths. I could have a fleet of plain trucks and be better off maybe, but this is just me. I have what I need in life, these trucks are my thing and make me happy…enjoying my working life.”

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ time he was back out and closing the doors. Climbing aboard the DAF it’s that old “OMG look at the room” sensation again, very Actros StreamSpace, Volvo Globetrotter-esque.

They’re such a lovely place to be these jumbo Euros. There’s no surprise that drivers in the last third of their careers gravitate to them with a desire to be pampered at the risk of wide-eyed school kids not giving them the ‘toot-toot’ signal from the footpath...actually, do they even do that now?

Bags in, the DAF lifts off and pulls away from the kerb, gliding down the street to the first Give Way. We’re on our way, there’s a long, mostly dark, northbound track ahead.

We do it our way

Some of the things that separate the big Dutch treat from its main competitors are power and displacement, and where it plateaus out in the range. Scania and Volvo have toyed with big numbers for years and ‘recently’ MAN got all excited and introduced their 15-litre 477kW (640hp) D38 variant down here. Even IVECO will throw a 417kW (560hp) at you as their high-end offering, albeit in 13-litre trim also, but DAF tops out at 375kW (510hp).

The significance of all this lays in the future, meaning the planet’s rather than the brand’s. Regardless of any lingering nightmares you might have of the small displacement/high output motors of the 90s, like it or not, they’re on their way back, and this time they won’t be going away. Burning less fuel and producing less CO2 is going to be the crux of emissions legislation moving forward and that’s the realm of smaller motors. Having said that, as we stand at this juncture in history, with tech where it is, the 13-litre motor is probably best placed in a task-specific application. In most cases throwing modest displacement at a 58 tonne HPMV job in hair-raising country is best done with a fairly robust whole of life fleet maintenance programme tucked away in the bottom drawer.

But that’s why we chose the Gundesen DAF for the main test. It’s ideally suited for this type of work. The big cab XF105 was born to whisk the driver and load along an overnight line haul route at GCMs in the mid-forty tonnes, and in that

application there’s absolutely no need for any more power or a bigger horse.

Under the towering Super Space cab is the same PACCAR MX375 engine we encountered in the Waitomo Petroleum CF85 last year. It’s a 12.9-litre turbo intercooled unit and features PACCAR’s SMART fuel injection technology, essentially electronic hydraulic injectors. It utilises SCR as the means to achieve its Euro 5 emissions status, meaning DEF is required. It produces 375kW (510hp) from a paltry 1500 rpm through to 1900, and 2500Nm (1850lb/ft) from 1000 to

Behind the motor is the ZF AS Tronic 16-speed AMT gearbox with three stage Intarder. Under the frame rails up front are DAF’s 152N axles on parabolic springs with shock absorbers and in the rear a Meritor MT23-165 drive set with dual axle locks hang on PACCARs 8-bag air suspension.

There’s rumblings afoot

Everyone has their own unique way of doing things. It’s all about confidence.

1400rpm. At the point the lines cross the engine’s producing a tad over 372kW (500hp). That’s important to note.

It’s obvious the MX is a torquey little number and to put it into context the 15.6-litre lung in the Stephenson Isuzu we tested a few months back carried a 395kW (530hp) badge but peak torque was lower at 2255Nm (1663lb/ft), and there was a far greater rift between the two at the crossover point. When torque departs the scene in the Isuzu power is hovering around the 310kW (420hp) mark. The upshot is - evidenced by the green band on the tach - the DAF enjoys life at lower engine speeds and although that means a more specific driving style to

Rolling out through the Manawatu toward Bulls the DAF modus operandi is instantly apparent. You’d be forgiven for thinking there was something far more scary than a 13-litre lurking beneath your feet given the low-pitched growl and short shifts. It’s a completely unstressed sound and while we in the cab were enjoying the trip and the ambience, we were certainly not concerned that our friend under the floorboards had the life of a whipped slave.

The DAF and its dedicated 15.1m Maxi-CUBE reefer left the load point right on 43 tonne according to Gary, and that’s about where life for the combination sits, maybe lower depending on the make-up of the load. It leaves plenty of wriggle room with the unit able to gross 44 tonne. That gives us a power/torque to weight ratio of 8.72kW/tonne (11.86hp) and 58Nm/tonne (43lb/ft). To put that into perspective a 458kW (615hp) X15 Cummins running at 50 tonne is about half a horsepower to the tonne better off, so Gary’s got plenty under the foot.

What makes the recipe a cake however, is the snappy shifts of the ZF AS Tronic AMT gearbox. A gearbox we’ve always had great respect for and a gearbox that’s been the making of many a truck it’s found its way into. The Waitomo DAF had a manual stirrer on board due to the finicky nature of rural fuel deliveries, but in this application you’d probably not bother.

Stropping up and down the line on the same beat every night and day is certainly ‘the’ application for the AMT. Having said that, Gary’s taking an interventionist approach to the big climbs when they loom in the windscreen, choosing to hit the downshifts manually.

Up from the auxiliary power output in the DAF is a wire to a splitter that allows Gary to run his mini Cape Kennedy control centre. There’s nothing that moves, talks, or monitors this truck that Gary doesn’t know about. But all that’s just a sideline, spend an few hours in the truck with this happy 52-year-old and you learn his life mottos – family, professionalism and adventure. You’ll also learn how much you can squeeze into the grand adventure if you have a ‘Give-it-go, we’re here to have fun’ approach.

Gary was a whängai child (Maori customary fostering and adoption) and although born in Eltham in Taranaki he was raised in the Wairarapa by hardworking folk, initially on a farm station near Herbertville and later in Masterton.

“Growing up on the farm was just one adventure after another. We had an RL Bedford which I learned to drive which was great, especially when I joined the army later on.”

Gary served in both the army territorial and regular force, including a spell overseas. While in the service he not only drove, but also completed his builder’s apprenticeship, needing only a couple of minor units for things in the civilian world once he was out.

He worked on Te Papa as a builder shift boss, and eventually owned his own building company, with all going well until the Mainzeal collapse.

Nothing more needs to be said there.

But like so many of us, driving has been there all the way through, helping out cashflow, mates, relieving when needed, as well as working full time at

“I love driving, always have. This is a great job and Will’s a top bloke to work for. I’ve been here two and half years.

There’s no pressure or expectation to do anything silly. It’s great.

“As you get older it gets harder you know? People look at you differently, they wonder if you can do it any more.

“Driving’s a hugely responsible job and one you have to take a professional view toward. So many now don’t; there’s a real lack of driver education out there.”

Gary’s driven the length and breadth of the country in his career, most of it on controlled temperature work. He’s also done three stints in Australia, the last one ending in 2012, and he’s loved every minute of his time there.

“On my last trip I went to a firm in Adelaide, KJM Contractors, for what I thought was an interview and by that afternoon I was heading out of town in a Cat powered T908 Kenworth,” he laughed. “I didn’t get back for two and half weeks.

But Gary’s first priority is family and his whole ethos around professional driving is geared around him making it home after every run. Wife of twenty years Kelly-Anne works as an administration manager at Te Wananga o Raukawa Otaki, and children Taranaki, 10, Oriwia, 13, and Arahia, 17, are all thriving, getting everything out of life they can.

“Driving’s tough on you, but it’s a bloody sight tougher on those at home.

My son Taranaki and nephew Jordan love the trucks and they come with me when they can. It’s important to pass on the knowledge. I tell all my kids to get out and have a go, that you have to be having fun following your dreams.”

With advice like that, no one’s going to go far wrong.

Dropping off the steep grade past Raurimu the truck’s descending control function held proceeds at a steady 75km/h.

Gary sets the speed on the smart wheel and the truck makes use of all available stopping apparatus to manage the situation.

Having the AS Tronic gearbox, the Gundesen machine comes with the ZF Intarder, a three-stage hydrodynamic secondary retarder system integrated into the gearbox providing a whopping 500kW (670hp) of stopping power. That gives the machine five layers of auxiliary braking including the exhaust and engine brake. On the one hand there’s no stopping the DAF, on the other hand there’s plenty!

Both Waterfall Hill - in the King Country between Taumarunui and the Eight Mile Junction - and the Te Kuiti Hill had the DAF down to 10th gear at 35km/h and 1700rpm, and as we bobbled over the disgrace that is the northern flanks of the Te Kuiti Hill our attention turned to ride.

Gary agreed with us that the roads are struggling as a result of HPMV traffic coinciding with a lack of spending on state highways in the provinces. The passage from Ohakune right through to Te Kuiti is not reflective of successive administrations apparently driven by safety as a key KPI. You’d think being such an enormous lump of cab, the DAF Super Space might be prone to wallowing, but oh how wrong you would be. This is one firm and stable hotel room. It’s a mechanically suspended cab and it shows…in a good way. We are not attempting to paint a negative here. The ride in the big DAF is great; firm and yet it soaks up the dross. Both driver and passenger get suspended seats and in terms of finishing things off, let’s say that’s a good thing. It’s a very different ride from say the new Actros, incomparable. The Benz is smoother, no question, but that’s not decrying the big Dutchman. Put it this way, you can hunt the DAF around the joint and although there’s a hint of liveliness from time to time, the big shed has

the situation sorted as the conversion in the cab just goes on, and we mean conversation. The angriest we could get the DAF was 67dB. The mirrors are large, highly adjustable and heated, a great reflection, not just on what’s aft, but on the level of standard kit in the 105.

As far as snazzy safety bits go the DAF’s exactly what you expect from a modern top Euro. There’s adaptive cruise, hill start assist; the brake set-up is front disc and rear drum – antilock, and there’s a load-sensing valve on the rear axle.

Summary

Rolling on though friendlier topography we arrive at Otorohanga and it’s time to leap out and let Gary cruise up the last couple of hours to Auckland. If you look back through history, DAF have always been their own brand when it comes to things like output and innovation, and it appears that’s still the way, even living under a multinational brolly with group technologies. They’re still their own people.

Where it all goes from here re power and displacement, who would know. Most of the pundits and boffins predict diesel hanging on in the line haul sector for a while yet. Will the second tsunami of small displacement/high horsepower engines fare better than their predecessors? Maybe a bit of hybrid help chucked in with your smaller displacement oil burner will mean nirvana’s just around the corner and everyone will look back and laugh at the big-boppers. One thing’s for sure, we’re all creating interesting history at the moment.

Gary came off a Kenworth K108E to climb aboard the DAF and he’s driven Kenworths most of his life. So let’s give him the last word, “Oh mate…you won’t get me out of this thing, I’m telling ya! It’s got enough power for what I do. My truck’s my second home, always has been. I spend half the week in here and this is just beautiful. I absolutely love it!”

No looking back Part:1

Story and photos by Dave McCoid

Over the next three months we’ll take a look at what’s going on at Fuso. In this, part one, we’ll recap on inner workings and culture and discover what’s ‘here’ but not here currently; in part two we’ll find out what’s not here but will be in the not too distant future; and lastly we’ll go for a spin in what wasn’t here but is now.

Buildings, culture, and great foundations – a recap

“Last year at the TOKYO MOTOR SHOW we came out with ‘Fuso is back’. It was done for the press and exhibitors, but it was also done for us. Fuso as a company has been through numerous challenges over the years. We held our own for a period of time but as a brand in certain areas we felt we’d become a ‘me-too’ product. We were the strongest in New Zealand and Australia and we disappeared,” said Ilan Elad, Fuso director Region 2, global sales. The tall, charismatic, good humoured Israeli has been with Fuso for three years and Daimler for five; an uncompromising yet natural leader of people.

For those wondering by the way, a ‘me-too’ product is one created that’s similar to a competitor’s with the intention of preventing that competitor from maximising market share.

But around the middle of the current decade that all changed. A new senior management team at Fuso received a mandate from mother Daimler to re-set course and put the

brand back on centre stage. As we well know, the ramifications of what happened in the succeeding years have been felt globally. Last year, for the fifth consecutive year Fuso tabled record EBIT (earnings before interest and tax), and decreased quality related costs.

The 78-year-old 431,200m2 Fuso K1 manufacturing facility in Tokyo, Japan, is undergoing a $90m revamp that includes a new corporate HQ and campus, and a consolidation of the K2 parts and R&D facility into K1.

Product-wise the company’s investment in commercial BEVs (Battery Electric Vehicles) is currently setting the pace with the only series produced LDT (Light Duty Truck) in the world in the eCanter (see below), and the E-FUSO MDT (Medium Duty Truck) looming soon. As well as the ‘e’ brand, traditional product lines have been bolstered with a revamped bus and HDT (Heavy Duty Truck) range, based around the Daimler platform, with all the product advantages that brings. We’ll see the first of the new HDTs here in 2019, and there are a few surprises.

But arguably the biggest jump has been in culture, and the

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ

blending of a traditional Japanese-based workforce with a plethora of incoming fresh faces from around the globe.

Today Fuso has 46 nationalities working at home operations in Japan, with more women in management roles than ever before. Although all that blending presents challenges, the advantages far outweigh the disadvantages, explained Elad.

He said bringing such a mix of ideas and cultures adds a richness and strength to the business, and certainly helps the interactions with customers in the 171 markets the company deals in around the world. Innovations like the company DTA1 App help bridge the communications and cultural gaps keeping everyone informed of milestones, bouquets, and achievements.

Fuso also run a graduate programme available to anyone and everyone around the world who qualifies, and are working in a number of ‘give back’ charity and welfare initiatives around the world, including Fuso New Zealand with the local Kids Can programme. All staff are encouraged to get on board.

Asked if they are where they wanted to be, Elad replied with an emphatic “No.”

“First of all we want to be number one. Our competitors are very strong, but I think we’re on the right path. The next three years will tell us where we come in. From a me-too product we are the leaders in the world today for electrification. With the HDT products we have now, I think we’re there also, and in Daimler we have the ability to invest. We want Fuso to be number one again.”

Q: What’s ‘here’ but not here?

A: Thor’s little hammer

A bunch of trucks and buses sat on the test track at Kitsuregawa, 162km north of Fuso’s K1 head office in Tokyo.

Amongst them was small white flat-deck local distribution truck looking utterly diminutive. There were no neon signs pointing to it, no dancing girls or fanfare, it was just there, sitting quietly…quietly being the key word. Move the gear lever into D and it also took off quietly; in one sense completely unspectacularly, in another sense, spectacular indeed.

“What do you think?” said the instructor.

Below: The six batteries are mounted saddlebag style with protective frames around them. On eCanter 2.0 they’ll be inside the frame rails. Right: eCanter with the box body in the more familiar blue.

“Really impressive. Very quiet. Quick off the line all right.

Very peppy! It would rival the average car easily. What’s it like with a load on?”

“It’s loaded to max 7.5 tonne GVM now,” he said.

Not doubting the integrity of ole’ mate beside me for a moment, a quick glance in the back window confirmed a series of concrete slabs sitting almost below the sight line of the deck sides. At that moment the serene ambience we’d been travelling in was broken with the sound of my jaw hitting the floor. In a flash of thought every diesel powered truck was analogous to

the all-dominant T-Rex looking skyward at the little bright dot in the sky growing rapidly bigger. “This little truck,” I thought, “is the catastrophic meteor for internally combustible diesel.”

The little eCanter breezed up the hill, stopped halfway, took off on the incline just as it had before, turned around and ‘motored’ – if that’s even a viable word in this context – back to the bottom. I’d only been in it a matter of seconds and already I was converted and transfixed, even obsessed with Fuso’s inbuilt gauge-based video game ‘claw back my range’. Well, it’s not an inbuilt game as such but it’s about as addictive as teletennis was in 1982.

We could go again and again, as many times as we liked until the time ran out. The hill loop or the 3.6km long high-speed track. Every time was equally impressive. If this is what 100% of available torque from the first engine revolution feels like, then where do we sign up?

36

But why this truck, why is it the ‘meteor?’

Well, that’s simple. The eCanter is the first series produced battery electric commercial vehicle. Yes, its first release of 500 units is being staged around the world with surgical precision, the key determiners being suitability of application (metro delivery) and continuity of component supply – batteries being the narrow-neck in the supply chain currently; but nonetheless, series produced it is. As outgoing Fuso CEO Mark Llistosella said on his recent trip to Auckland, “We have to start somewhere”. Like the meteor that rendered our omnipotent reptilian predecessor mammal tucker, the impact of the eCanter will spread rapidly.

Already, as we pen these words, customers in parts of Japan, the US (including UPS), and Europe (including DHL) have commenced their journey to the threeyear mark (approx) at which point their increased outlay for eCanter over its diesel sibling will cross equilibrium and turn cash-positive, not forgetting the planetary brownie points. That’s a great payback time in anyone’s eyes, considering Fuso have a 10-year or 300,000km guaranteed life on the batteries. After that they’re good for 80% functionality, or as current thinking predicts, running your smart house, local Ferris wheel, garage door opener etc. What happens to the ugly bits at end of, end of, end of life, no one’s absolutely certain, but worrying about such things has never featured hugely on humanity’s radar – although we are improving.

Talk to project lead for eCanter, Pavan Vishwanath, and you can see the glint in this man’s eye from the crystal balls deep inside his head.

“Our goal is to have this truck the same cost as the diesel equivalent ex-showroom by 2025.” We’d argue that based on the rate of battery development that’s a pretty safe number.

So let’s have a look at eCanter, where it’s come from, and where it’s going.

There had been prototypes around since 2010, but in 2015 the decision was made to get serious and prepare something

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ for market, all part of the broader revival and shaking off the ‘me-too’ thing. At the 2016 Tokyo Motor Show, Fuso had a pre-production prototype on the stand, looking very lean, although it was only good for about 30km. Come mid last year and eCanter 1.0 was all go with a heap more batteries, 80km/h top speed, 100km range, 7.5 tonne GVM, and a four tonne payload. On top of that Fuso announced a whole new bloodline E-FUSO, for the BEV arm of the business.

The eCanter is powered by six 360-volt batteries in parallel, hanging as saddlebags on the chassis. It still has a prop shaft and a differential.

The selection of batteries is all about compatibility. They’re taken straight from the Daimler electric car programme, obviating the need for safety and compliance testing. In regard to range, Vishwanath says the range is conservative and a safe average.

“Irrespective of the application you use, our trucks reach 100km. The are some applications where our trucks have shown they can go 160km.” Remember, this is an electric truck so everything counts, not just payload and how hard you drive it – heaters, stereos, flashing your lights at your mates – all add up. They might be the answer to road rage. Tooting your horn at every car that does something to piss you off might be costly at the end of the day.

The payload of four tonne includes the body, but remember most other daily mechanical running costs are down the toilet, and Jacinda will love you here in New Zealand so RUC won’t be an issue for a while. And as for the 80km/h top speed? eCanter’s intended to be a city girl. That’s its turf, so it doesn’t matter a jot. If you’re into high-volume, light-weight transport, then you’d be forgiven for booking Christmas in the Maldives on the back of an eCanter buying spree.

CO2 savings from the little jewel is what people outside the industry want to know about and that equates to 16 tonnes per year over the oil burning equivalent. As we’ve reported previously, that’s the CO2 munching capability of a park the size of Rangitoto, so not to be sneezed at. Put a thousand eCanters in the city loop and the Mission Bay Schnauzer’s going to be panting a whole lot less on the morning stroll.

Safety’s something there’s always a lot of talk about with regard to BEVs. The eCanter’s batteries in the 1.0 model are guarded with a heavy framework even though there’s been no fire in any crash testing to date. At the time the batteries

were developed, Daimler handed them over to the German government for independent testing; again there were no issues with product integrity. Obviously in a truck carrying a tare weight penalty, having heavy frames to protect batteries is not ideal, and putting them inside the frame rails would be an obvious solution. Enter the scene eCanter 2.0 next year. eCanter 1.0, the one we drove in Japan, was always a ‘start’, and model 2.0 will bring with it some significant improvements. Firstly, as we said above, the batteries move inside the chassis rails, increasing the safety further and reducing the need for a jungle gym around them. This will be

The Power Distribution Unit (PDU) will be encompassed in the batteries also. How much weight will the 2.0 will save? They’re not letting that one out just yet, but according to Vishwanath it will also come with a 180km range.

A positive future for battery evolution

Of course the cornerstone of future electric mobility is – at this stage – the battery. R&D in this field will be the buzz for the next iteration of our land-based transport history, and trends of recent show much progress. Battery boffins talk a whole new lingo compared with all of us purveyors of particulate. To them there are two key KPIs in the forefront of their minds. The first is Watt-hours per kilogram (W h/kg) – in other words, how much grunt your battery delivers per kilogram of weight.

According to Vishwanath that figure today stands at 140.

Fuso (Daimler) see that figure at 240 by 2021. That’s a hefty jump. The other KPI is of course cost. Currently the price per kilowatt hour (kWh) per battery package stands at about 175 Euro (NZ$296). In 2021 they’re predicting that figure to be around 75 Euro (NZ$127).

We must not forget the laws of supply and demand in all of this. Global demand for batteries already far outstrips the ability to supply. As supply creeps northward, pricing should be affected. Between now and 2025, $50bn US is being invested in gigafactories (places that make fancy batteries), and even by 2020 lithium-ion battery production will have increased 521% on 2016 figures. Of course, most of this growth comes courtesy of China, which appears to be on a crusade in regard to BEVs.

What of the future?

Daimler is investing heavily in BEV technology, partly due to a belief in the direction (don’t knock them, Karl got it right last time around – they have cred), and partly to keep China in check. Having said that, being a colossus, they have enough in the war chest to back a couple of nags and in that regard their hydrogen programme is certainly not left wanting.

Vishwanath says the battery electric case for the small metro delivery vehicle is strong and it currently sits well inside the viability matrix. He said in the next four years research will centre on three key areas. Firstly, cell chemistry with solidstate, metal-air, and lithium-sulphur, with a maximum 1000 volts, a cell-specific energy of 375Wh/kg and a reduced cost as per above. Secondly, a 800 to 1000-volt-based e-motor integrating the reduction gearbox and differential for increased weight saving and efficiency. Thirdly, infrastructure.

“Already today the limitation is on the infrastructure side, not the vehicle. Charging guns available are 45 to 50kW and the vehicle can take 150kW. The vehicle is ready, but the infrastructure is not ready,” Vishwanath says.

Medium-duty trucks hold a slightly more tenuous position on the outer fringe of viability. Having said that, the E-FUSO MDT unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show last year, able to carry 11 tonne with a range of 350km, is due for local ( Japan) release in 2023, and demonstrates how hard Fuso continue to push the R&D teams.

New Zealand Trucking

So why is eCanter the nemesis for all diesels?

We’ve realised in recent years just how much energy is encompassed in a tank of diesel. After nine minutes of filling it’ll shift 50 tonne at 90km/h for 600km, without fuss. Saying it’s past its use-by date is one thing, replicating it is another.

But what eCanter does is change the perception. There’s a generation of drivers coming who will start their careers in silence, accelerating to highway speed at maximum GVM, like a car. They won’t take kindly to being ‘promoted’ on to the line haul unit with abysmal performance and needing to be filled with smelly, greasy, filthy crap. What eCanter and those like it to come will do is put incredible heat on HDT research and development teams to come up with something…and quick.

The hydrogen hybrid may yet find its niche, but one thing is clear, OEMs are on notice. Fifteen years from now, the performance expectations on the part of owners, drivers, and BEV road users in regard to line haul trucks will be a quantum leap ahead of where they are now.

eCanter and Godzone?

New Zealand Trucking magazine talked to Fuso New Zealand managing director Kurtis Andrews in Japan recently about when we might see eCanter gliding around here.

“MFTBC [Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation] is still in its customer evaluation phase to ensure true reliability out in the real world. This is happening in the USA, Europe and in Japan. We would certainly like to get our hands on some eCanters yesterday, however we also completely understand the programmes MFTBC runs to ensure the reliability of the FUSO product. We think New Zealand’s renewable energy generation makes a great story for eCanter; hopefully the decision makers do too.”

And when they do arrive?

“Stock will be limited, due to the worldwide demand that is currently being experienced on EVs. At this stage our focus is on getting some stock on the ground. Initially, it is likely that vehicles will be closely managed by FNZ and we will need to assess the sales strategy when we get closer to the launch of this vehicle.”

down you could almost swear you saw the reflection of your face in the floor mat.

The driver’s door opens and Troy climbs in, just like he has since 2005 when the Pete ‘Crazy Horse’ was brand new.

Today is special though. Today he and his Pete will tick over two million kilometres of travelling together. One man and a Peterbilt for two million kilometres in New Zealand. Yep, that’s an exclusive club all right.

Accelerating along State Highway 3 toward Normanby the throttle control and Troy’s overall connection to his ride is instantly apparent as the 18-speed AutoShift progresses smoothly through the gears.

“The first million ticked over between Palmy and Sanson,” said Troy. “She’s got 350km left, so maybe Hastings, around there?”

As we rolled through lower Taranaki and into the Manawatu,

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ

Troy unloads another tanker of product. He and his mate have delivered a few over the years.

42-year-old Troy talked about his background.

“Home was a farm about 43 kilometres inland from Stratford toward the Forgotten Highway. I live in Stratford now with my family; Dad and Mum are still up there. It was a great place to grow up for me and the brothers, we got up to all sorts, farming jobs, shearing, hunting, and all that. It was a big playground. We go up home often. I like my own boys to experience all the fun we had.”

Troy’s father was a truck driver at one time and it was something he’s always taken an interest in. One day while out on a shearing job a stock truck came to the farm and the driver suggested driving might be a good way to go. As a result of that conversation Troy was soon working at local carrier Aitken Transport based in Toko, northeast of Stratford.

He started off on a Ford in the small rural carrying operation, moving on to a 320hp Volvo before getting a 300hp MH Mack 6x4 and 4-axle trailer stock unit.

‘The Mack was a cool truck, I really loved that truck. It had

a terrible lock but it was a neat truck.

“From there I moved on to a 420hp 8x4 Volvo F12F and 4-axle trailer. It was a beautiful machine, like night and day compared to the Mack. You could work all day in the Volvo and it seemed like you’d done nothing.”

As it happened Troy had gone right through secondary school with Tony Uhlenberg and when an opportunity to join the Eltham-based icon came up, Troy leapt at it.

That was 16 years ago and in Troy’s own words, “I live the dream”.

In 2005 Troy was given the keys to UHLIE5, a 378 Peterbilt with a 550hp Caterpillar ACERT motor, 18-speed Eaton AutoShift, and Meritor RT46164PEH axles on Peterbilt AIR TRAC suspension. It was a truck that was to become a true workmate. “They’ll have to crowbar me out,” laughs Troy.

In their time Troy and ‘Crazy Horse’ have seen most corners of the North Island. Although there’s been opportunity to go into the South Island at times, Troy’s declined on account of apparently getting badly seasick even sitting in the bath.

As we rolled on Troy talked about his other interests. Turns out he’s a champion axeman and chainsaw competitor, having

42

New Zealand Trucking

July 2018

competed regularly here and twice in Europe in the Eurojack competition. He’s the current holder of the national flying disc record. Essentially you cut 20 biscuits off the end of a log in the shortest time possible.

“You start the clock, then the chainsaw, then cut 20 discs off, stop the saw and then the clock. I did it in 28.16 seconds.”

That’s impressive! Troy’s competing less now, opting to give back to the sport instead. He and wife Tania have an axeman and chainsaw display that’s popular at A&P Shows and the like, and Troy also makes competition axes. They have two boys, Sam and Jackson. Sam’s an apprentice fitter welder and appears to have picked up the competitive axeman gene off Dad, and Jackson’s looking at a career in mechanics. As the boys are becoming independent Troy and Tania also enjoy their other passion, cruising around on their Harley Davidson.

“All day to get nowhere in particular,” laughs Troy. “It’s great. We see some amazing places.”

As we approached ‘the’ spot, we turn our attention to our chariot. A walk around ‘Crazy Horse’ would tell you nothing of the miles that have passed under this amazing machine’s tyres.

In his two million clicks there’s only been an engine overhaul at 1.24 million kilometres, and a replaced bumper when he sent a wayward dog to Davy Jones’ locker. Originally the AutoShift had a press-button change but at about the million kilometre mark Troy had a play with a Cobra Shift and liked it a lot more, so the company installed one in the truck for him.

Other than that, it’s been routine servicing and consumables.

A true testament to the quality of both man and machine…the stacks and guards are original.

And then we were there, at the moment, seven and a bit years after the first million. A couple of minutes from the Paki Paki roundabout on the southern outskirts of Hastings…just like that, ‘Crazy Horse’ was again brand new, for the third time in his life.

The load delivered, we headed for home. Back in the Eltham yard that evening Daryl Uhlenberg walked over.

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ Observations, lessons, and inspiration

Troy and his machine have seen much together, now heading on toward million number three.

“How’d that go?”

“Bloody fantastic day. Epic. What a bloke. What a machine.”

“Yeah, that’s Troy. He’ll take it to a show, he’s choosy about which ones, park in the corner and say nothing. The thing looks brand new. No one knows it’s done those ks. It’s not the first truck in the fleet to run beyond two million, but its definitely the first to get there with only one driver”.

Conversation and chats done, and it was time to head off.

“So, can we call you in about seven years and come on three million day Troy?” we asked.

And in classic Bellamy style, he says: “We’ll book it in now brother. Let’s get it done.”

Here we have a man and a machine that’s travelled the highways for two million trouble-free kilometres. There’s no luck in that, you can’t put two million clicks in the mirror on luck. No doubt learning on stock teaches you to care for the load, and moving from that to gas puts the ‘care’ in capitals.

Spending your out of work life around flying axe heads and chainsaws does little to lesson an instinctive sense of caution, but there’s more still. Attitude and disposition is where it starts and ends in trucking, we don’t care what anyone says or how much training you’ve had. You recall Troy said of his Harley riding, “All day to get nowhere in particular”. And that’s how he approaches driving, except there is a place to get to, and he’s always there when he needs to be. You wouldn’t hold down a job for nigh on two decades in an operation like Uhlenbergs if you weren’t where you should be at the agreed time. But it’s the mental approach to each journey. If you could start pulling ‘Crazy Horse’ up safely and easily 400m from the give way, we guarantee Troy will start to wash the speed off 500m out.

There’s a natural caution and awareness that’s just ‘there’, gaps are given, and space created even when there’s no apparent need.

A man and his machine for two million kilometres. There’s nothing to prove, no one to impress. They’re writing their own story into Kiwi trucking folk lore.

DRIVEN TO SUCCEED

Leaving it all on the field Story and photos by Faye Lougher

If things had turned out differently, 27-year-old Brad Morgan could have been patrolling the beat in a police uniform, but the opportunity to buy his own fertiliser spreading business was too good to turn down.

A

fter leaving school in Putaruru, Brad signed on as a Camp America counsellor and spent three months in Casco, Maine. Located seven hours north of New York, he taught children to waterski, which he says wasn’t bad for a summer job.

Brad stayed on for a few weeks when his time at Camp America ended, and when he returned home he applied to join the New Zealand Police, something he’d always wanted to do.

“I had been in the Air Training Corps, 34 Squadron in Tokoroa. I was on the waiting list for the police and had to do regular physicals, so I did fill-in jobs while waiting for my application to be accepted. I loved farming – apart from

44

milking cows – and anything agricultural, so I wanted to work for a contracting company.”

Brad saw a vacancy for a job spreading fertiliser for Bruce Leonard and went to work for him. After three years he bought an Isuzu FTS 650 off Bruce and became an ownerdriver, later trading the Isuzu in on an Iveco Eurocargo. After two years as an owner-driver, Bruce said he wanted to sell the business and Brad stepped up to buy it.

“I renamed it Morgan Spreading Ltd. I’ll have been operating for three years in August and I now have three trucks. I bought his gear and I also had my own Iveco and trailer from being an owner-driver.”

Since he bought the business Brad has replaced the Isuzus and the 2013 Iveco. The fleet now has a 2007 MAN TGM, and two recent additions, a 2017 Scania P360 and 2017 Mercedes-Benz Atego 1630, as well as two trailers. The Atego is the first of the new model on New Zealand roads. Two of the trucks have twin spinner application systems designed for spreading large quantities of fertiliser over a wide area with the minimum number of passes.

“Warren Auger Bins of Matamata refurbished the Automatt Trailer. Director Bradley Scott wanted to do something different – he built the new deck and the whole top of the trailer, which is a Domett. I’ve also bought a 2016 Endraulic loader.”

As well as Brad and full-time worker Daniel Graham, Brad’s father, Richard, helps out part-time when needed. Brad’s partner, Nicole Davey, also helps in the busy period, keeping

everyone fed, and helping around the yard cleaning trucks.

Brad hopes eventually to have three full-time workers.

“Dad is a dairy farmer but he drove a truck for years. From October to 24 December we run the three trucks, then in January and February just the two, then between March and May we run three again.”

Brad says he took on the goodwill of the existing business when he bought it in 2015.

“I knew all the clients from being there for six years and it came with a loyal customer base. Since then I have built the business up and picked up a few more clients along the way.”

Morgan Spreading Ltd does a variety of ground spreading, from crops and farms to lifestyle blocks.

The Benz scrambles to the top of a greasy brow…almost.

“Fertiliser, lime and urea are generally products we spread.

We’ve got Ravensdown and Balance in Tirau, and we cart it with the trucks and trailers. If it involves loading a lot of tonnage on a farm, we’ve got the Endraulic loader. We supply the loader for free as a service to our customers.”

Brad is running TracMap, an in-cab GPS display unit that works with a cloud-based job management system called TracMap Online. Using TracMap Online, rural contractors or farmers can draw maps of the areas that need to be treated, mark out hazards, and input job details (product, rate, etc.).

This information can then be sent wirelessly to drivers.

The vagaries of the weather bring the greatest complication to the business. Last spring was exceptionally wet and things got off to a late start. Brad said it was the first time in years that he wasn’t working at the beginning of October “It was wet and helicopters were doing a lot of the work because the farmers needed the fertiliser on and we couldn’t get there. Our trucks work on a range of terrain but when it’s too wet, they have to get the helicopters in. It only takes a couple of days for the ground to dry out, but you have to wait.”

When he knows the ground is likely to be a bit slippery Brad takes two trucks to a job for safety reasons or in case one gets stuck.

“I really enjoy just getting out there, you’re not doing the same thing every day. The job has variety and you get out and about. The only part I hate about the job is the weather.”

Daniel Graham getting the job done in slippery conditions

Brad says he chose the two different trucks [Scania and Mercedes-Benz] so he can compare them on the job.

“Also, having a smaller truck helps with the smaller blocks and tight gateways.”

Brad had only had his new Scania for a few months when we visited, but it was already earning its keep. We jumped in the cab with him while he spread fertiliser at Ohtawa Farms, Ian Brown’s property at Tokoroa. The Scania had no trouble negotiating narrow farm gates and climbing steep paddocks.

“So far I love it,” says Brad. “It’s new, and around in the paddocks it’s got great low-down torque. You can just put your head down and go.”

The Atego was put into service in January 2018 with Daniel Graham at the wheel, and he too loves his machine, so it’s going to be an interesting exercise comparing the two in realworld conditions over their life.

Both Brad and Daniel are volunteer firefighters with the Putaruru Volunteer Fire Brigade, with five and four years’ service respectively, and recently Brad became a senior firefighter.

“I love the adrenalin and helping the community,” says Brad.

“I’ve been with the volunteers all through and when we’re not busy we spend quite a bit of time with them.”

In his limited time off, Brad also enjoys relaxing at the beach, but says the location of his favourite spot is a secret. 

Stanton (Stan) Hawkes Stan Hawkes is a man in a hurry. So, it’s somewhat ironic that Mike Isle should find Stan taking a leisurely lunch roadside in their shared town of Kerikeri. Stan is a shorthaul driver working for local company Brockliss Haulage, which is in turn under contract to Toll.

Stan has been with (Mike) Brockliss for 18 months – his entire trucking life. Yet in that time he has worked his way up from class 4 to class 5 and earned his forks and dangerous goods licences.

As we said, a man in a hurry.

Today he is driving a 500hp FM Volvo Euro 5, which Stan describes as a nice comfortable truck to drive with plenty of grunt for the general freight. The truck normally tows a trailer, which was parked along the road.

His day starts with a full truck and trailer load from depot to The Warehouse. Much of the rest of each day is general freight duties, winding up with a trip south to the Mt Pokaka Sawmill to pull out upwards of 25 tonnes of timber Big day. But, yeah, he can get it done.

In his 18 months driving he has covered just about every route in Northland and that is one of the pleasures this Auckland-born, UK-raised, 26-year-old derives from driving – the scenery.

“It’s just so beautiful up here, and the people are great too.

Being your own boss, driving these roads, listening to a bit of Van Morrison – doesn’t get much better.”

Perhaps Stan is giving voice to the passion we all have about trucking. This one-time luxury car driver (as a car valet) would rather be driving trucks…any day.

Clarence has been working for Pederson Group for 15 years, currently in the role of log out operator transferring logs within the mill confines. Before that he worked as a heavy machinery operator for 35 years at Fletcher Construction. When asked what he liked best about driving, Clarence said, “The challenges it brings, being outdoors and not stuck in an office”. He thinks the biggest problem with the industry as he sees it is that there are not enough experienced operators.

Just Truckin’ Around the world Ottmah Berend On the day Paul O’Callaghan visited Ottmar Behrend’s yard at Jever in northwest Germany, he was preparing to deliver a livestock trailer to a client 120 km away. What was unusual was that he was using his MAN 4x4 camper bought new in 2007 for the job. “It works, I am permitted to pull an empty livestock trailer,” he confirms.

Beginning as an owner-driver with a Scania 110 in 1979, Ottmar went on to own one of the largest and most progressive livestock transport operations in Europe throughout the 80s and 90s, with branches in Germany, Hungary, and Greece.

“We had some great times in the early days before the EU, crossing all of the borders in Europe. But I did things differently to others and imported

American trailers for their weight-saving benefits.”

Having slowly sold off his fleet as increasing competition from Eastern Europe cut profit margins, Ottmar now buys and sells livestock trucks for a living.

This gives him ample time to indulge in his passion for travel and motorbikes.

Ottmar’s favourite aspect is the

opportunity to explore different countries with their unique culture, language, food and drink.

In tune with most drivers in Europe, he sees the increasing bureaucracy, especially in the world of livestock transport, as the worst part.

As for people he would most like to meet, the Dalai Lama takes the top spot.

unning under the company name of G & T Nichols, Gavin and Trina are relative newcomers to the Mainfreight group, joining around two years ago as part of the Full Truck Load (FTL) division.

Since joining they have been able to take advantage of opportunities within Mainfreight, which has seen their company grow to include three FTL units, with a fourth on order. “It’s been a bit of a learning curve but I have enjoyed the challenge and hope to continue to build on what we have achieved to date,” says Gavin.

The addition of the new Mercedes-Benz Arocs to their fleet was a decision made because of the Mercedes Benz OM473 16-litre Euro 6 engine and Mercedes-Benz PowerShift-3 12-speed automated manual transmission. The gradability offered by the motor’s 460kW (625hp) and 3000Nm (2213lb/ ft) torque significantly reduced the time spent on hill climbs, which has been confirmed by driver, Richard Arnold.

“The new truck is awesome, and it’s running and pulling very well. It’s just ticked over 28,000 kilometres. At 49 tonne last night, it was pulling up the Taihape Divi in ninth, which is three gears up on my old Mercedes. I’m hoping it’ll get even better with time.”

Trina for two years and has been trusted with looking after the big Mercedes Arocs as he travels all over New Zealand.

Richard treats the truck as if it were his own, and goes out of his way to attend truck shows, often winning prizes.

Life on the road is tough at times, but the 2.5 metre wide L-Stream Space cab with comfort sleeper definitely helps, with Richard commenting that he sometimes sleeps better in the truck than he does at home. The cab is fitted with work and anti-fatigue lighting, fridge, TV, and Bluetooth-equipped touch screen navigation and multimedia audio system.

Richard finds the safety features and auxiliary braking of the big Arocs very helpful in the day-to-day driving.

The truck has a TMC 14-pallet curtainside body on a steel deck, and pulls a rebuilt 22-pallet Domett 5-axle curtainside trailer with mezzanine floor. To better accommodate the long

haul nature of the work, a larger fuel tank with a 530-litre capacity has been fitted, along with a bigger 60-litre DEF tank.

Cliff Mannington from Truck Signs flew down from Tauranga to Christchurch to work on the truck and apply the ‘Casper the Ghost’ artwork; that is is a nickname Richard picked up when he first started trucking, as he was seen by many as a friendly guy always helping people out.

Gavin, Trina, and Richard’s enthusiasm and passion for the road transport industry and the professional way in which they approach their respective roles make them more than deserving Top Truck candidates. 

THE TRUCKS OF NEW ZEALAND POST

‘T’ Party

Story by Russell Walsh Along with Albion trucks, the most popular early vehicle in the P&T fleet was the Ford Model T. In his 2017 book, Ford in New Zealand, Putting the car before the horse, author John Stokes says that probably the biggest purchaser of bare Ford chassis around 1915-16 would have been the Post and Telegraph Department. The bare chassis would have been manufactured in Canada but assembled in New Zealand. The chassis would have included the engine cowl and bonnet but little else, with the cabs and trays manufactured and fitted in New Zealand.

These two examples show a standardised mail van and flat deck truck, both of which would have been built at the P&T workshops in Wellington, the buildings in the background. A few photographs of examples of the mail vans operating in Napier and at the Trentham Army Camp still exist, which suggest their use was widespread. The mail van design was not unique to the Ford, as photographs taken in the early 1920s show similar bodies fitted to other makes of chassis. The cost of the bare chassis was about £198/0/0, (around $34,000 today). They are fitted with electric headlights that got their power from the engine’s magneto, which meant the higher the engine RPM the brighter the light.

Story by Faye Lougher Photos by Faye Lougher and as credited

It’s a safe bet that most motorists would not expect to be passed by a sixties-era truck – but this is no ordinary Morris.

T

he 1965 Morris FGK60 owned by Tim Rush of Feilding now has a secret weapon powering it – a 2008 GM/Holden all-aluminium LS2 V8 motor running into a 4-speed automatic transmission.

“With its current power plant, first there’s the noise of the V8 and then there’s the speed of it, which does shock a few people when an old Morris truck with a race car on the back of it gets out and passes them. It’s not something that should

54

happen but it does,” says Tim. Tim says his love affair and obsession with Morris vehicles began at the age of 15 when he bought three Morris Minors, and it has never gone away.

“I wanted a Morris truck to carry Morris cars and other things that we own in our collection,” he says. “I had been looking for about four or five years for a Morris truck when this one popped up on Trade Me.” Within 24 hours of the auction finishing, Tim had borrowed a truck and was in Hawke’s Bay to collect it.

“The motor ran but had been sitting in a shed for about six years so I transported it back. It had only ever been used in an orchard carrying apples from the orchard to the wharf and back. It only had 65,000 miles on the clock, which was not a lot.”

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ Tim brought it back to Feilding and set about restoring it to its original glory.

“It was in original condition, very good condition, however like all vehicles of that age, they weren’t very well rust protected so all the seams in the cab had to be pulled apart. In the end the roof came off the main body and the guards came off the bottom. It turned into a bit of a Meccano set, but it’s all back together now and looking good.”

Tim did a lot of the work himself, but had the rust and panel work done by Terry Price in Wanganui at Restorations Unlimited.

“I built the deck myself, including mounting the motor and gearbox. I designed it all myself and then set to and built it here in the shed.”

The ‘shed’ is not your ordinary backyard workshop; it’s home to the famed Rush Collection of historic open wheeler race cars, motor racing artifacts and commercial vehicles.

“I had to get a welding certificate so I was qualified to do the job,” says Tim. “I wanted to not have to rely on somebody else.

When you can do it yourself you don’t have to wait for other people, and everyone doesn’t put in their two cents worth on what they think you should do either.”

The FGK60 was often referred to as a ‘hothouse’ truck because the original motor and gearbox were in the cab.

“With all the windows and then the big motor in the front they were known for cooking people. I moved the motor back behind the cab, under the deck, and it sits in there quite nicely now. Then of course I had to get a new driveshaft made and I also changed the diff to a Chevrolet Dually diff.”

Originally the truck had a 4-litre 6-cylinder straight six Morris motor running into a 4-speed manual transmission.

“Very, very slow!” laughs Tim. “But I really built the vehicle

overwhelming.

The Morris looking sad and the old engine still in place.

All of a sudden the vision starts to emerge as a reality. The engine in place and cab back, repaired and painted, deck frame on and ramps in their slot.

with the motor that’s in it due to cost. It only owes me $2000 for the motor and transmission. It’s fuel injected, you just walk out, turn the key and it fires into life and it just makes it a pleasure to drive. And probably cheaper in the long run to go on trips with.”

Tim says he tried to keep the look of the truck to how it would have looked back in the sixties.

“All the wheels are original on it. I was offered some aluminium wheels to put on it, but I was going for the period look so used the original steel wheels. The steering is all original Morris and so are the brakes, but the brakes have been stainless steel sleeved and diameter increased so the braking is now sufficient for the New Zealand brake coding requirements for a commercial vehicle.”

Tim also upgraded the windscreen wipers, which now have three speeds, something he wasn’t prepared to do without. He also added a discreet modern stereo mounted on the right side of the cab.

“When looking in the cab it looks like a totally period truck until you start to look closer. The dash now has two Morris clusters in it, one is a speedo and the other one has been converted to a rev counter.”

Keeping the interior traditional, the seats were

re-upholstered in black vinyl with tuck and roll stitching by Feilding Upholstery.

“They also have had more padding put in them and more shape so that they are more suited for longer travel, and it has been converted from a two-seater to a three-seater with a small bench seat for the passengers.”

The original 4-speed floor shifter has also been changed to a column change.

“It gives more room for passengers and it looks as though it was period for the piece. Everything I’ve done I’ve tried to make so that it is 1960’s period, including decal stickers which we’re waiting to arrive.”

When it came to doing the wiring on the truck, Tim became the apprentice at Feilding Auto Electrical Ltd under the watchful eye of Huw Allen. He says Huw’s input and help with making it all work was hugely appreciated.

Tim was also very grateful for the words of wisdom, praise and knowledge during the rebuild from Kevin Englebretsen of K & A Design Ltd in Halcombe, who was responsible for the certification of the Morris.

The custom-built deck features tail lights from a 1965 Chevrolet Corvair and slide-out aluminium loading ramps.

Tim says he went for those rather than hydraulic ramps, to keep the weight down.

The truck, which has been on the road since Labour Weekend last year, took Tim three years to complete.

“But during that period I also built a house, carried on racing, and went to America for two trips! Before buying the Morris I had originally gone to America to buy a Chev cabover truck. I was about to pay for it and thought I should actually sit in it, and once I did, I realised there was no room for a tall, long-legged male. So that ended that saga of life.

“But I’m glad it did, because it’s interesting now with the Morris, people in New Zealand can relate to the truck and can tell you stories about what they’ve done and where they’ve been and who had one.”

Tim says when he took the truck to Manfeild for the MG Classic race meeting last November, it attracted a lot of attention and everyone wanted to take photos.

The addition of the rev counter and the non-standard column shifter - made in period design - absolutely enhance the look. The interior has every modern extra in it… yeah nah… but oh what a beautiful place. (We had an FGK60 farm truck. This is emotional. I want one – Ed LOL)

WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ “People came up to me and were telling me stories about what they did and what went on in the back of them in the day! Including one lady who told me about being a milk delivery girl and having a bit of fun in the back of the milk truck!”

Tim races a 1970 Begg FM4 Formula 5000 car and plans to use the truck to transport the car around the country.

“It’s a family owned car – one of many! My love affair with the Begg made me paint the truck the same colour and it’s become part of the little team for when we go to classic race meetings and shows. It’s a period truck with a period car.”

Tim would like to acknowledge the help and support of his father, Terry Rush, in restoring the Morris.

“Without my father it wouldn’t be where it is. Basically, dad’s help cleaning and polishing and taking rust off nuts and bolts has saved me a lot of time and it’s been a great deal of fun to spend time with dad.”

Terry Rush is a long-time member of the Manawatu Car Club and was one of the original team who helped build Manfeild.

“With dad’s involvement with motor racing and so forth, I have petrol in my veins,” says Tim. “I drove a single seater around Manfeild at the age of four.”

The 1965 Morris FGK60 is sure to turn heads wherever it goes, something Tim says is not surprising.

“It’s an oddball. I like oddball things and not everyone is stupid enough to own a Morris truck, let alone do what I’ve done to it!” 

There’s nothing ‘Minor’ about what’s nestled behind the cab and between the rails of this Morris.

A fabulous shot taken by Corey Simons, a driver for Fonterra who is based out of the Whareroa factory near Hawera in Taranaki. We love the fact the loading lights on the Volvo have been left on just to add extra light affects. Awesome Corey – top job.

GOOD ON YA MATE

Dave Paris. Paying it back is important.

Keeping the old values rolling on Story by Faye Lougher

The recipient of this month’s Good On Ya Mate award generated plenty of comments on Facebook that indicated Dave Paris was the type of guy who would always do what he could to help another driver.

N

ikau Shortland was heading south on the Te Kuiti/Taumarunui road on 11 May. He says it’s not a route he’s overly familiar with, although he’s slowly getting used to it.

It was raining, Nikau’s windscreen wipers had died, and he was trying to work out his next move.

“There was a Blue Ice Freighty with a B-train behind it, and he pulled into the rest area as I didn’t know where to stop. The guy’s name was Dave, and he’s a legend, a good bugger. It was raining but he got out of his truck to come and help me fix mine and then off we went. He also pointed out corners and parts of that road that are dangerous in the winter – he gave me guidance and shared some of his knowledge with me all the way to Ohakune.”

Nikau says he kept as close to Dave’s truck as the wet conditions allowed.

“Although I’m fairly new to driving he went at a pace where I could keep up. Every time I lost sight of him he slowed down until he could see me before carrying on. I’m grateful for his guidance and humbled that he shared his knowledge, but what got me was he had a boat to catch yet he took the time to do this. This trucker is a legend. I have so much respect for this guy for taking the time to help me out, he’s a top bloke.”

Dave Paris was a bit embarrassed at all the publicity his actions generated, saying that helping guys on the road was part and parcel of how the industry should be.

“We all got a helping hand at the start and you should pass that on.”

Well done that man! 

Know a truckie who’s done a good deed, helped a mate in need, or represented the industry in a way that does us all proud? It could be anything from helping you cover a load to doing a great community deed. Send details in to New Zealand Trucking magazine with a photo of your nominee if you can get one, and we’ll see what we can do.

INTERNATIONAL TRUCK STOP

Take it to the limit Story and photos by Brian Weatherley

For Europe’s truck makers there’s no better way of generating new excitement in an existing model than by offering a Limited Edition version.

I

n a world where everything looks the same there’s no better way to stand out from the crowd than with a limited edition lorry, especially if you’re a truck maker looking to revive flagging interest in a current model without paying the earth. Whether it’s celebrating a corporate milestone or simply to divert attention away from some Johnny-come-lately rival, Europe’s manufacturers can’t resist creating them. Just add the necessary ‘bling’...and watch the punters come running.

In the past 18 months no less than three of them have popped up. First in Blighty was Volvo’s Ailsa Edition FH. Back in 1967 Jim McKelvie and Jim Keyden, two farsighted, entrepreneurial Scottish businessmen launched Ailsa Trucks – the original UK importer – and kicked off the business with the little F86.

Volvo Ailsa Edition FH16-750s are hard to miss out on the road.

60

New Zealand Trucking

July 2018

To mark the occasion Volvo Trucks UK & Ireland persuaded Gothenburg to build 50 special right-hand-drive Ailsa Edition FH-540 and FH16-750 tractors, each one sporting an eyecatching black and gold paint job along with a snazzy leather interior and specially designed 50th Anniversary logos.

Ailsa Edition extras included Volvo Dynamic Steering, I-Park Cool stationary air-con, I-See Predictive Cruise Control, TomTom navigation and the latest media package for streaming. Inside the cab there was a microwave, TV, fridgefreezer plus a Personal Protection Package, featuring a security box, laminated door glass and alarm. There were even discreet Ailsa Edition door badges with Swedish and Union Jack flags.

Meanwhile, over in Holland, DAF wanted to celebrate the fact that 90 years ago Hub van Doorne laid down the Dutch truck maker’s foundations. So naturally it wanted to build 250 90th Anniversary Edition 530hp XF Super Space Cab tractors to celebrate, complete with handcrafted versions of DAF’s original logo on the front, sides and back of the cab, as well as inside, for diehard retro fans. Every Anniversary Edition XF has its own unique number inside the cab – along with a neat DAF logo panel that’s illuminated when you open the door.

In addition there’s a top-of-the-range XF Exclusive trim package with an abundance of leather – a must-have on a

limited edition motor – Climate Control, a roof-mounted parking cooler, TruckPhone, microwave, fridge, and DAF’s extra-secure Night Lock door locks. What’s more, each Anniversary Edition buyer gets their own luxury gift set comprising a leather travel bag and jacket, a Waterman pen in a customised leather box, leather credit card wallet, and a 90th Anniversary Edition sketch signed by DAF’s chief designer, Bart van Lotringen.

However, the most recent arrival at the Limited Edition

ball is Merc’s Actros1 – 100 exclusive 625hp Actros flat-floor GigaSpace right-hand-drive tractors, built not just for comfort but also safety. Standard kit includes Merc’s latest Active Brake Assist (ABA4) which automatically applies the brakes to avoid a collision (if the driver fails to do so) not only with other vehicles but also pedestrians. Inside, there are comfort leather seats with their own massage function, a Multimedia Radio Touch system and a 7-speaker sound system with 100W active sub-woofer, plus extra storage lockers on the back wall, fridge, microwave, ambient night lighting and a premium comfort mattress. On the outside, an illuminated three-pointed star grille badge and cab and door plaques provide that extra touch of class. To top it off you’ve a choice of green or silver paint jobs. There’s even a YouTube video to promote it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=byXADxdEJz8 HOWEVER, the Granddaddy of all limited edition models – at least as far as Blighty is concerned – was created 27 years ago when a smart-thinking marketing man at Scania (Great Britain) called David Burke came up with the idea of marking the Swedish truck maker’s centenary with 100 limited edition

DAF 90th Anniversary edition alongside classic 1968 DAF A1600. How times have changed.

Master Centurion Scania.

right-hand-drive Scania 3 Series tractors called, naturally enough, the Centurion. Offered on either a regular R-cab or the original Streamline cabin, Centurion tractors had various extras like a CD player (big news back in 1991) auto reverse warning buzzer, chrome wheel covers, heated rear mirrors and headlight wash-wipe as well as their own unique badging, including monogrammed seat covers. The various owners even formed themselves into their own Centurion Club which met up regularly at UK truck shows. Owners also got an exclusive leather holdall with wash-bag and shaving kit. However, the pièce de résistance was undoubtedly the Master Centurion – the final truck in the limited run of 100.

Master Centurion was a definite one-off, being the first Scania R143 with the 500hp EDC V8 engine to appear in the UK, well ahead of the start of RHD production. With its Streamline cab resplendent in stunning pearlescent white paint, it had just about everything you’d want, like leather seats, alloy wheels, a Phillips radio/stereo and CD player plus TV and DVD, an in-cab phone and fax (yes a fax!), and luxury Liberty interior trim and bedding. Finally, for a touch of real class, its Centurion badges were made from special 24-carat electroplated gold. Nice…

In 1991 Master Centurion’s list price of over £100,000 was unheard of. It was ultimately sold through a special promotion in the UK trucking press with a sizeable donation from the proceeds going to the BBC’s annual Children in Need appeal.

Since then Master Centurion has become a legend in the business, having had (as far as I can tell) fewer than half a dozen owners. The last I heard it belonged to an operator in Northern Ireland who’d refurbished it and brought it back to its former glory.

Some limited editions are limited indeed. In the mid-80s, enterprising Bristol-based Foden dealer Forden Commercials created two very special 6x4 S106T4 Foden tractors called Black Cat and Black Cat II respectively – the name coming from the fact that both had show-stopping black paint jobs and a 400hp Cat 3406B engine. Former Forden sales director and long-time kite marque connoisseur John Ormandy remembers them well. Having ordered the first of the pair in a metallic red shade, based on a picture he’d seen in a Kenworth brochure, Ormandy was keen to track its progress and get a firm delivery date. But when he phoned the factory he was dismayed to be told they were having problems with the colour and couldn’t say when painting could go ahead. Desperate to get the truck he told them “Paint it black and deliver ASAP!” When a salesman colleague subsequently asked him, “When’s that black Cat being delivered?” the name stuck.

62

New Zealand Trucking

July 2018

The original Black Cat Foden hit the road in 1985 and was soon turning heads and generating favourable comments on the CB – a big craze here at the time. Not long afterwards Ormandy took it to Truckfest (one of the biggest truck shows in Europe held over the May Bank Holiday) where a guy approached him and asked how much to buy it. “I told him it wasn’t available to sell until September and gave him a price. He said, ‘Consider it sold. I’ll come and pick it up in September.’ No deposit, just a handshake.” And he was as good as his word.

With the original Black Cat collecting so much favourable publicity, the following year Forden created Black Cat II, complete with airbrushed artwork on the doors depicting the truck driving down Bristol Portway with Clifton Suspension Bridge behind it. Sadly, two weeks after appearing at Truckfest it was stolen from Forden’s Avonmouth yard, never to be seen again.

How about one for you Kiwis? Following a long-running sponsorship deal between Iveco and the New Zealand Rugby Union, in 2016 as European supporter of the All Blacks Northern Hemisphere Tour, the Italians created a special All Blacks Stralis XP Emotional Truck which it auctioned in aid of UNICEF. It subsequently produced a special Limited Edition run of New Stralis XP TCO2 Champions bearing the team’s colours.

Iveco has form when it comes to special edition tractors.

However, its latest one takes some beating, not least as, for the moment, there’s only one. The 570hp Iveco Stralis XP Abarth celebrates the fact the Iveco is currently the official logistics supplier to Team Abarth Scorpion.

The Stralis 570 XP Abarth cab sports a white livery with red and grey finishes especially created by the Abarth Design centre, together with carbon fibre trimmed panels and colourmatched wheels. Its interior features red leather seats, steering wheel and door panels, similar to the driving compartment of an Abarth Spider 124 – the specially tuned version of the Fiat’s 124 Spider convertible. Having said there was only one, and right now that’s the case, I understand there’s talk of the company producing 124 limited edition XP TCO2 tractors based on it. The sad news for us in Britain is that they’ll only be offered in left-hand drive. In the meantime, enjoy the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5oa2sjsf-0s

LOGGER Story and photos by Howard Shanks

Triple H Contracting owner, Manuel Hall, is a second-generation logging contractor with knowledge of the industry spanning almost three decades. The arrival of the new T659 8x4 and quad dog incidentally coincided with the tenth anniversary of Triple H Contracting’s formation.

New Zealand Trucking

M

anuel began working for his father Ken’s logging business in the mid-80s while still at school.

However, by 2007 Manuel decided it was time to branch out on his own and he entered the contracting game, specialising in the harvesting of Tasmanian hardwood and softwood plantations. Starting with just himself and one employee they worked long days to make ends meet, but over the next four years another harvester and excavator was added, complete with a new crew to operate them. Persistence, good old-fashioned service, and the skills he’d learnt and honed from his father’s mentoring in those informative years, paid off when Triple H Contracting was awarded a contract with Timberland Pacific a short time later.

This year Triple H Contracting will harvest in excess of 250,000 tonne of products and transport over 90,000 tonne of processed logs with their own trucks and engage subcontractors to pick up the remainder.

“We chose the Kenworth T659 8x4 because they’re renowned for their reliability,” Manuel said. “Especially in the steep rugged north of the state. Sit outside any of the log yards at Bell Bay for half an hour or more and you soon realise just how popular these T659 8x4 models are for this type of work as nearly every third log truck arriving will be one.

“There are several advantages that a T659 8x4 with a quad dog has over a conventional semi or B-double,” Manuel continued.

“Firstly, their extremely light combination tare of 20.5 tonne. We get a 41.5 tonne payload on this configuration, with a gross combination mass of 62 tonne. Compare that with a B-double and there is virtually no gain in terms of payload.

“Furthermore, with a B-double you have additional registration and insurance costs for the second trailer,” he said. “On top of that you have the added challenge of finding drivers with multicombination licences. It’s far easier to get HC drivers than MC drivers and training costs are much cheaper. They can virtually go anywhere too, although in some areas we might get our combination weight lowered due to aging bridges with load limits on a specific route, but for the most part they’re loaded to the maximum weight with general access.

“The advantage of the self-loading Kennedy quad dog when it is folded up on the back of the T659 8x4 is it keeps weight on the drive wheels for the run up to the landing where we load the logs,” Manuel said. “That way we have good traction and the empty trailer is not getting shaken to bits on the rough bush tracks. It also makes manoeuvring around the landing area much easier and safer prior to loading. Importantly there is much less wear on the trailer tyres and brakes as they’re only traveling half the distance compared with the truck.”

The Kennedy quad dog also has ExTe auto tensioning load binders and BPW Trailer Electronic Braking System with the Trailer Roll Stability System.

Driver Joe Davis sets up the ExTE auto-tensioner.

Very reminiscent of home.

“WE’RE CURRENTLY SPECIFYING our new trailers now with the EBS and BPW brake technology which I believe has contributed greatly to the elimination of both avoidable accidents and roll-overs over the past five years,” Manuel said.

“I’d recommend them to any operator who has any high centre of gravity loads, like logs, or dynamic moving load issues.

“The ExTe auto load binders operate from the truck’s existing air system, making the task of load restraint simpler and safer,” Manuel said. “The truck’s air pressure does all the hard work, quickly tensioning load binder straps once activated, then continually applying post tension to the load while it is in transit.”

It eliminates the use of cheater bars on ratchet handles and there is no need to stop and re-tension straps a few kilometres down the road. The straps are just kept tight all the time.

The TU model features a symmetrical design, easy change from left-handed to right-handed operation, and an easy release function. Different strap widths, lengths or even combination with chain can all be accommodated, maintaining up to 1000 kg of pre-tension on the load.

“It’s a guaranteed, measured tension that is consistent every load, which means load restraint is not governed by the driver’s strength,” he added.

The T659 is also equipped with a locally sourced AIR-CTI central tyre inflation system.

“I specified central tyre inflation on the drive of the T659 for a number of reasons. Firstly to reduce tyre wear, but it also improves traction and gives a far better ride when the truck is empty, which reduces the wear and tear on both the truck and trailer.”

Driver Joe Davis said the ride, comfort and handling of the Kenworth T659 8x4 was exceptionally good. “The steering lock is very good for a truck this size,” Joe said. “The finish of the Kenworth really puts them in a class of their own. For this type of work, they’re really the only choice if you’re serious about getting a good return on your investment.”

It’s only early days for the big red Cummins ISXe5 under the hood, but so far both Manuel and Joe are pleased with the performance and economy. “The Cummins is really going well,” Manuel said. “I’m sure it will get better as it loosens up too.”

We left the last words to Manuel: “When you consider we’re getting almost an equivalent payload to a tri-tri B-double with fewer axles, trailer and registration, this combination just makes good business sense.” 

Having the trailer up helps get them back to the loading sites in the steep country.

Mercedes-Benz Arocs - One year on and going strong!

It’s been a year since we saw the arrival of the Mercedes-Benz New Dimension Truck range: the Actros, Arocs, Atego, and Econic to New Zealand.

One of the early adopters of the new Arocs and first to put it into the logging industry is Leon Edge of Northern Linehaul Ltd. Leon bought his Arocs 3263L 8x4 with OM473 Inline 6, 630Hp, 460Kw, 3000Nm, 15.6L engine, and a large sleeper cab, in mid2017. Over the last year Leon has put it to the test contracting to Rotorua Forest Haulage, and now with 280,000km on the clock, we caught up with him to see how it is performing.

The truck has a slightly heavier tare weight than other trucks on the market at 12,180kg. However Leon believes that economics work out with the savings in servicing intervals, reliability, and fuel consumption. “It all balances out”, he says.

“And it’s important to me to keep my drivers comfortable and happy,” he adds.

stemming from his farming and agricultural background. In 2011 he purchased his first logger and now they have three. Leon says “he plans to add another Mercedes-Benz Arocs to his fleet in the near future.”

Leon and his wife Julie, have a fleet of four vehicles. Leon’s been an owner-driver for 16 years. He has always been around transport and had a keen interest in trucks

Trucks & Trailers are specialists in the sales, servicing, and parts of Mercedes-Benz Trucks.

“It’s a good truck, strong, and very reliable” are the first words that Leon has to say about his truck. “It has great fuel economy with 1.8km to the litre overall, 1.9km from time to time. We service it every 20,000km – 40,000km and there is no oil required in between”, he says.

The truck is home to four drivers who work it around the clock, “it’s on the road seven days and five nights a week, and they love driving it”, says Leon. “It’s very comfortable and safe, which comes with the European design and engineering,” he says.

LIGHT COMMERCIAL TEST

X is all Class

Story and photos by Jacqui Madelin

Mercedes-Benz launched its new X-Class one-ton ute with an extended city and rural road drive, and a brief hilly farm jaunt to demo its off-road skills.

T

his ute comes via an arrangement with Nissan that sees Navara as its base, thus saving considerably on development time. But could the German brand transform a mass-market platform into something that fits its brand values?

The short answer is yes; indeed it was sometimes easy to forget while driving that this was a ute – it felt ‘Mercedes’, and it doesn’t do utes, surely? Even a ute’s typically jiggly unladen ride – a personal bugbear – had been smoothed out to an impressive degree.

There was a range of examples at the launch, many fitted with a dizzying array of available options, all designed to fit the ‘aspirational’ brief.

Buyers will have 13 variants to choose from, encompassing two turbo 4-cylinder engines sourced from Nissan – a 2.3-litre X220d with a single turbo delivering 120kW, and the 140kW X250d.

The former comes in rear drive or all-wheel drive versions; the 250d as an engageable all-wheel drive only. Both come standard with a 6-speed manual transmission, while a 7-speed auto is an X250d option.

Engine and transmission chosen, now pick your grade.

Mercedes pitches the Pure for everyday ‘robust’ use, Progressive as offering high-quality feel and comfort, and the Power variant for ‘urban lifestyles’.

The X-Class uses coil spring suspension both front and rear for comfort on road, and the setup worked admirably on our admittedly fairly basic off-road course. Better still, our hilly paddock, farm track and gravel road route, which included some side angles and sharp blind descents, revealed no downside to the wider track and longer wheelbase, and the X-Class engageable 4MATIC all-wheel drive system with its low range gearing and standard diff lock on the rear more than coped with everything we encountered; given its Navara base, we would expect it to blitz terrain far more rugged.

the SUV market

MercedesBenz. Clean lines and elegant.

All are instantly recognisable as Mercs from the front; indeed it takes the side view to spot this isn’t just another SUV. And the cabin is just as familiar in its layout, the shape of the vents and controls and the quality of the materials, not to mention the choices of trim available. You can even pick between roof lining colours. A $1400 Plus Package available on all models adds the Parking Assist system, and adjustable load-securing rails for the tray bed.

As for safety, you expect a luxury brand to be well specced, and X-Class is no different. Emergency Braking and Lane Keep Assist are both standard, while the Pure and Progressive get a reversing camera (except in the cab chassis), and the Power a 360-degree camera – as useful when parking as picking one’s way between rocks and logs or awkward gate approaches – that’s optional on the Progressive.

Spec certainly increases up the range, but even the Pure feels like a Merc inside, though those 17-inch wheels are steel, and the upholstery is cloth, with a practical plastic floor covering, plus, like all wellside variants, there are four load-securing rings in the tray bed, each rated at 150daN (dekanewton). We’re guessing the most popular option will be the tub liner, at $825 fitted, plus GST.

Upgrade to the Progressive for 17-inch alloy wheels, heated mirrors, a heat-insulating windscreen, rain-sensing wipers, satnav, floor carpets, a chromatic rear-view mirror with compass, plus trim changes. Buyers can choose from three option packages too, including a $2650 Comfort pack with electric front seat adjustment and lumbar support, auto dual zone climate control, a front passenger stowage net, and seats clad in Artico man-made ‘leather’ and microfibre. The Style pack changes the front and rear lights, adds an electronically opening rear window, window tints, running boards, roof rails and 18-inch alloys, while the Parking pack adds Parking Assist and that 360-degree camera.

As for the Power, naturally a top-spec Mercedes gets everything but the kitchen sink, with lashings of chrome among the trim upgrades, LED head and tail lamps, lashings of man-made leather with contrast topstitching, an online multimedia system with satnav and touch pad, electric front seats with lumbar support, an 8-speed digital audio system – the others get CDs – PARKTRONIC, Keyless Go and auto climate control among the features.

can check the box for a Winter Package, including front seat heaters and heated washer nozzles, at $650. Other packs include Parking (PARKTRONIC auto park and the 360-degree camera) at $1890, Style – including LED lights, roof rails, 18-inch alloys and running boards – at $4150 for the Progressive, or $2650 for the Power, plus a wide number of individual options, from metallic paint and anti-theft protection, to badge deletion, leather seat trim, and wood cabin embellishment; not all of them available for every grade.

Not surprisingly, the X-Class will not be the cheapest ute on the block. The base cab chassis Pure, rear-drive, opens the lineup at $53,300, with the top-spec Power wellside X250d and 7-speed auto heading the line-up at $69,000.

Niggles? Very few at the launch bar insufficient cabin storage space for your bits and bobs, and the fact that, like Navara, the steering wheel adjusts only for rake and not for reach, a bugbear for both the shortest and tallest attendees at the event.

Always try before you buy!

In conclusion, the X-Class genuinely is more than just a Navara in drag. Quite apart from the fact no single body panel is shared and that its body and track are wider, it is more comfortable and composed on the road – VW’s Amarok may give it a run for its road manners money, but is unlikely to beat the Merc in the rough: and naturally it follows that anyone expecting truly car-like performance and feel will be disappointed, even though the cabin uses enough design cues to feel pure Mercedes, while also being robust enough to handle the everyday workload.

We await a full road test on familiar roads, but those already feeling the need for more grunt must wait for the MercedesBenz V6 diesel due by year-end, with a promised 190kW and 550Nm – as already used by the brand’s G-Class and E-Class.

That will get all-wheel drive and a 7-speed Tronic Plus auto as standard, plus Dynamic Select and auto stop-start, with price still to be announced.

The X-Class is sold by Mercedes’ commercial arm in New Zealand, so you’ll find it in 11 of the brand’s 26 dealers, unless feedback suggests all showrooms need it on the premises. As for supply, given we are one of just four markets that include Australia, South Africa, and South America, we’re promised that if you want one, there is one with your name on it. 

The NZ Trucking Association developed the Share the Road with Big Trucks programme in 2016 and it was initially delivered using gazebos and pullup banners. In August 2017 an opportunity arose to launch the Safety MAN Road Safety Truck with help from industry sponsors. Since then, the Safety MAN has hosted more than 11,000 participants.

Share the Road with Big Trucks is targeted at schools, community groups and events, to help other road users learn how to share the road with trucks. The Safety MAN is an interactive and exciting learning environment for all ages. Using animated safety videos, touch-screen tablets and blind-zone demonstrations, participants experience a truck driver’s perspective. This gives road users a unique opportunity to learn about the capabilities of big trucks and dangerous road situations they might find themselves in.

The Healthy Truck Driver programme is designed to raise awareness about common truck driver health and wellbeing issues that often lead to fatigue. The video is a fun way to get conversations started and help drivers think about their health.

The programme also has a take-home resource book, which is full of tips and information.

The Safety MAN programmes have been evaluated by engineering and management consultancy Beca to determine the effectiveness of the programmes in reducing truck-related crashes and rollovers.

They found that 80% of participants interviewed have made changes to their lifestyle after going through the Healthy Truck Driver Programme, while 83% have changed their behaviour around trucks after participating in the Share the Road with Big Trucks programme. Beca concluded that these behavioural changes can contribute to fewer deaths and serious injuries on New Zealand roads. This feedback is a fantastic indication of the successfulness of the programmes so far.

HEALTHY TRUCK DRIVER TOP TIP Sleep disorders can cause fatigue. If you are experiencing loud snoring, shortness of breath, excessive daytime drowsiness, or intermittent pauses in your breathing during sleep, you may need to visit your GP to get properly diagnosed. Common sleep disorders include sleep apnoea, insomnia, snoring, and restless leg syndrome.

Creating a work plan

Check the worker’s medical certificate. This will state if the worker can return to work and what they can or can’t do. It is helpful to have a list of available duties to provide to the doctor.

This will help the doctor identify suitable duties. Think outside the normal duties – can the worker do training, supervise a new worker, review operating procedures, and so on. Don’t bring a worker back until the doctor has given clearance.

LEGAL LINES

Chain of responsibility offences

S

ection 6C of the Land Transport Act 1998 contains three sections titled ‘Offences relating to chain of responsibility’. The chain of responsibility is a principle that exists in New Zealand and comes from the concept of vicarious liability in which the superior has responsibility for the acts of their subordinate. In the context of the Land Transport Act it recognises that the people who influence drivers’ behaviour and compliance should and must be held accountable if that influence results in non-compliance with traffic rules and laws.

Vicarious liability

People who influence drivers’ behaviour can include company directors, consignors, operators, packers, loaders, schedulers, dispatchers, receivers and customers of a transport service.

It shares rather than transfers the responsibility between the parties. It is a necessary element of the charge for the prosecution to prove that the person knew, or ought to have known, the offence was occurring or was reasonably likely to occur. If an operator commits a breach, a maximum fine of $25,000 will apply and this is an increase from the previous maximum fine of $10,000. This offence recognises the role that operators play in setting the requirements for drivers and it places an added obligation on operators to encourage them to abide strictly by the law.

Examples of influencing behaviours

Behaviours that could lead drivers or operators to breach the rules or laws include: • Causing or influencing a driver to exceed speed limits • Causing or influencing a driver not to comply with work time or rest time requirements • Causing or influencing a driver not to comply with logbook requirements (including a failure to maintain a logbook or falsifying logbook records) • Causing or requiring a driver to operate a vehicle that exceeds its maximum gross weight.

Extension of search warrant provisions

Section 6C of the Land Transport Act also extends the provisions for the issuing of search warrants so that the police are able to apply for search warrants for alleged breaches of the chain of responsibility provisions. That means a search warrant could be issued in order to obtain evidence relating to commercial vehicle drivers speeding or breaching work time limits, or commercial vehicles being dangerously overloaded.

We’ve all heard of cases where employers or companies who engage trucking companies set unrealistic schedules for drivers, causing them to speed or breach their work hours in order to meet contractual requirements. This is a totally unacceptable practice and it is also illegal. So it’s not surprising that the police are likely to pursue those who breach the law more vigorously because this will be another tool which they can utilise.

The law has always recognised the need for employers and businesses that use transport operators to act in a responsible manner so this legislation does not place extra responsibility on them. However, when enquiries needed to be made into breaches, particularly those that involved the alleged actions of a third party, it was difficult for the police to obtain evidence of the offending. An example of a third party is a freight forwarder who is a transport operator’s client rather than the employer of a driver. However, under the chain of responsibility legislation, the ability to apply for a search warrant changes this and it will hopefully ensure that unrealistic demands are not placed on transport operators or drivers. The same requirements that the police must currently satisfy when seeking a search warrant will apply to these search warrants. 

Its main purpose was to improve the trucking industry’s safety, professionalism and viability, and 29 years later it’s an impressive organisation. The ATA conference was recently held in Canberra, where over 400 attendees gathered to participate in what was an outstanding conference programme.

This year’s ATA conference was closely aligned with NZ Trucking Association’s initiatives around road safety. One of the events at the conference was a ‘fatigue hack’. Teams competed against each other to come up with a solution for driver fatigue.

In partnership with Teletrac Navman Australia, Canberra Innovation Network, and Seeing Machines, the ATA’s fatigue hack saw Australia’s smartest innovators join mentors with real-life experience to produce an innovative solution for driver fatigue management.

This was a huge success, with each group presenting their ideas to the conference and a winner being announced. Congratulations to #hackathon winners ‘Augmented Intelligence’. The team created a steering wheel designed for the nation’s 120,000 long-haul drivers that features an embedded ECG monitor which analyses the driver’s heart rate and visually communicates their fatigue level through a Navman, suggesting rest stops in real-time, based on the heart rate readings.

Similar concerns around road safety exist in both countries.

For example, rest areas where truckers can pull completely off the road for adequate rest, was one of the main issues the Australian conference focused on. Australia is much bigger, and trucks travel far more kilometres, however in New Zealand it could also be said that we don’t have enough decent rest areas suitable for trucks. This was highlighted recently in the Truck Crash/Rollover Prevention Plan that was put together by a collaboration of NZTA, NCTIR and key stakeholders. On the alternative state highway between Picton and Christchurch, the windy, narrow roads make it very hard to get a truck off the road. So designated pull-off zones have been established with marked signs, so drivers clearly know where they can take a rest.

Fatigue is a worldwide problem and it won’t be magically solved. It takes several parties to prevent fatigue. Truck drivers need to prepare properly for the working week and ensure they have had enough sleep. Dispatchers need to put themselves behind the wheel and set reasonable targets, while companies must adopt good health and safety practices. All parties need to take responsibility and work together before we can say we are tackling fatigue. Education also is a major factor and that’s what the Safety MAN Road Safety Truck is doing by visiting

transport companies and putting drivers through the Healthy Truck Driver programme. In basic terms, it’s raising awareness of a problem and giving resources and information that will assist the drivers to help themselves and others.

All the fatigue hack ideas were brilliant, but one that stood out was a machine that tested for fatigue like a breathalyser.

You simply talk into it and it reads whether you are fatigued or not. Imagine if this was carried by police and they could test everyone, including car drivers. If the test was positive, then the driver would be made to rest before continuing their journey.

To be fair it’s not just truck drivers, there would be a lot of car drivers parked up too. Maybe it will come to this one day, as people keep on killing themselves and others while driving with fatigue.

The ATA and the NZ Trucking Association are now sharing ideas. Both organisations are passionate about saving lives and reducing serious injuries on the road and making the transport industry a safer place to work. So, collaborating and sharing research to improve our road safety initiatives is a great step forward.

In Australia, on 1 July 2018, new legislation comes into force. The new Chain of Responsibility Laws and the Master Code will be introduced. This is about having visibility of processes that support safe workplaces. In 1996 the ATA introduced their TruckSafe accreditation programme where trucking businesses meet a set of minimum standards in order to qualify for the programme’s safe and responsible business status. To date 850 companies have adopted TruckSafe. The new TruckSafe standards will offer Master Code Compliance.

The new Australian Master Code appears to be like the New Zealand Health and Safety laws. However, since our law changes, we still come across companies that are not making the effort to ensure their workplace safety processes are adequate. Now is a good time to revisit your plans and if you need any help, give us a call.

You can find out more about fatigue and request the Safety MAN to visit your workplace at www.roadsafetytruck.co.nz There are many benefits to becoming a member of the NZ Trucking Association. If you would like to find out why you should join, give us a call 0800 338 338. 

All parties need to take responsibility and work together before we can say we are tackling fatigue.

Adopt a future driver

W

e’ve all heard it. How in the good old days our industry’s future drivers used to come from sons, daughters, nieces and nephews who used to ride in the truck with their Dad or Uncle.

I’ve used male relatives here because that’s the way it was, and thank goodness that has changed because we would be in much more trouble than we currently are without our female colleagues.

What has changed though is the ability to carry passengers in the truck cab due to various site safety policies. This is not about company owners wanting to deprive youngsters the opportunity to experience first-hand the life of a truck driver, but rather about retaining control in a work environment that now demands it.

Representatives of the road transport industry are working hard to get acceptance of bona fide company trainees, cadets and new drivers (and trainers) travelling as passengers to the various sites visited daily, to be accepted as visiting employees under their site safety policies. This will create a huge opportunity for transport operators to provide in-cab training and experience to the young and not so young, so they can learn first-hand the life of a truck driver and how the industry ticks.

Of course, for this to work we need people to train and with some recent experiences of mine it appears that there are plenty of school leavers keen to enter the industry in various capacities. Whatever role they seek, if they are looking for a career there is nothing like putting them in a truck to better understand the industry and decide what path they want to follow. For many this will happen – at least initially – by way of driving, and here we face the most common issue that turns them away from road transport.

Many of the young people do not have the required driving licences, if any, and often no way of getting one. This may be due to unaffordability for the family, no one to help and mentor them, and numerous other social and economic factors.

Secondary school Gateway and Trade Academy programmes are of little benefit if they cannot meet the basic licence requirements.

Many schools have recognised this as an issue for the future employability of their students and are doing what they can with a limited budget; however the numbers getting help are only a drop in the bucket. Even then, the best we can really expect is Class 1 learners and occasionally restricted amongst those fortunate enough to be included.

The industry I have got to know over the years is one that gives those who want to learn a chance to do so, and this is where ‘adopt a future driver’ comes in. We cannot rely on others to fix our staff shortages. We need to do this ourselves and quickly, because the cracks are already showing.

Do you know, or can you find, a good keen student who you would be happy to give work experience in your business?

Are you prepared to help them learn and in the process help yourself with future staff requirements? Would you be prepared to offer holiday and after school work, and mentor them through the various licence levels?

If you can answer yes to any of these, you are well on your way to being able to do your bit for road transport – adopt a future employee. This may be the son or daughter of a current staff member, or a stranger. Whoever they are, the chances are they will appreciate what you have done and repay the faith shown in them. 

Have we got the road safety plan right?

I

have been watching the changing trend in our road toll, and while the first to admit this is a complex issue with many ‘moving’ parts, its recent direction is a concern.

The graph (right) shows clearly something has changed.

Apart from a one-off ‘better’ year in 2013, the road toll has been trending up since 2011.

I recall conversations around significant changes made to the road safety strategy since 2002 and many of the concerns expressed at the time, regarding the future impact of this.

Back then I was involved in this programme and very much a part of implementing the road safety plan as it was delivered.

The philosophy and the evidence-based research at that time was all around the ‘three Es’ – education, enforcement, and engineering. All had to combine and play their part in order to tackle the complex issue of road crashes, which still can be best described as rare and random events. The key was to understand the mix of each, and how they all contributed to a crash and the consequences.

Back in 2002 an essential part of this mix was engaging road users through the education side of the model, for them to understand that contribution, and to deal with the road user and their behaviour directly.

Most of this was funded through the Safety Administration Programme (SAP), which provided funds to communities and councils to fund road safety coordinators, and a range of community-based road safety programmes.

But like all good things that worked, it had to change! It first changed when the government reviewed the transport strategy and proposed ‘Road safety outcome by 2010’. The strategy outlined a vision of a transport system that was affordable, integrated, safe, responsive, and sustainable, to be realised by means of an integrated approach that was forward looking, collaborative, accountable, and evidence-based.

This happened at the same time a new agency – Land Transport New Zealand (LTNZ) – was established to undertake the operational activities of Transfund New Zealand and the Land Transport Safety Authority at the end of 2004. SAP was integrated into the National Land Transport Programme (NLTP), and this also saw changes in the Community Road Safety Programme (CRSP), a critical community tool.

This was the start of a fundamental change and the whole community side of road safety was compromised.

The key to transport sector community programmes is they’re based on programmes that promote a community development model by encouraging community ownership of land transport and hence road safety.

It’s like the old saying: ‘Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for life.’ This is an effective model, but is now a very small part of the mix.

There seems to be a view this is somehow blaming road users

for the road toll, which it isn’t. It should be about considering all the components and setting up a plan to address them.

Since 2010, we have seen a further move that reflects what other countries have done to bring down their road toll. This has been rolled out under the Safer Journeys Road Safety Strategy and more recently, the Vision Zero approach.

In effect, what these strategies do is take people out of the equation and move to what we see in countries like Sweden, which has much more emphasis on engineering as the key factor.

While this is needed, it is missing one important ingredient – people – and more precisely, behaviour. There is an old adage: if you want to change behaviour, then you have to change behaviour.

This reminds me of a lesson I observed when studying psychology at the University of Otago. The powers that be decided to landscape green space outside the Student Union building and the pathway to Leith Street. This was an area where students walked to get to lectures. What they decided to do was akin to the vision zero approach – they redesigned the pathway and planted lovely trees. The pathway was constructed as a slow meandering path through the trees, a leisurely walk.

So what did students do? They walked in a straight line from point A to point B because that was the quickest way to get to lectures. The people who designed it didn’t understand how those using it behaved, and what they wanted to do.

The same is true with road safety. Everyone has to play a greater part in this, otherwise we will just keep walking ‘in straight lines’.

We are not Swedish; we tend not to comply in the same way they do.

We’re boundary pushers. It’s who we are. Our road toll will have a problem coming down unless we give this more consideration, and think ‘straight lines’. 

ROAD TRANSPORT FORUM

The NZ Transport Agency must sort out regulatory failures

N

eedless to say the Road Transport Forum is pretty disappointed at the situation the operators affected by the Peter Wastney Engineering certification fiasco have found themselves in over the past couple of months.

Road freight transport is a very competitive, just-in-time industry with very tight schedules and very little in the way of spare capacity. It is therefore extremely concerning that so many vehicles had to be taken off the road or businesses could no longer use their trailers.

Margins for operators are also very slim and it is likely that the temporary loss of their vehicles is providing a major financial headache for many operators. In a combination heavy vehicle the trailer typically comprises two-thirds of the total payload.

The fact that several hundred vehicles have been ordered off the road also has a significant impact across the whole freight task, particularly in the upper part of the South Island where most of the Peter Wastney certified vehicles are based.

While it must be acknowledged that the NZ Transport Agency is doing all it can to assist operators with replacement and recertification, and will compensate operators for those costs, it is disappointing it has come to this. Some operators may have to go many months without the use of a large part of their fleet and that will have a lasting impact and could force customers to go elsewhere to transport their goods.

It is very concerning that NZTA’s accreditation, auditing and certification processes have been found to be so badly lacking.

I mean, how did so many vehicles get certified over such a long period of time without the proper regulatory oversight?

This is not an isolated situation either. In fact, it is the second time within two years that NZTA have been found to have failed in their auditing responsibilities. I would have thought that after the fraud and corruption exposed in the driver licensing system in 2016 that NZTA would have prioritised its regulatory responsibilities, but that is clearly not the case. Obviously the loss of so many key experienced technical staff has had a real impact in this area.

It goes without saying that the engineering professional bodies also have questions to answer over how such poor performance from one of their members could go unchecked for so long. On so many levels this situation was avoidable and it is not fair that it is the innocent party in this situation, the road transport operator, who is left with a vehicle he can’t use and is consequently out of pocket.

I do encourage those companies affected to pursue lost business costs from Peter Wastney and his insurers, and I expect NZTA to take responsibility for their failures, provide adequate compensation, and ensure this kind of regulatory failure does not happen again.

ON A FAR MORE positive subject, can I remind readers that now is the time to get your nominations in for the 2018 NZ Road Transport Industry Awards.

Once again, there are five awards on offer, four of which seek to recognise activities and achievements that improve the daily lives of people in the industry and make it a rewarding and safe environment to work in. They are the Industry Innovation Award, Outstanding Contribution to Training Award, Outstanding Contribution to Health and Safety Award, and the overall Supreme Contribution to New Zealand Road Transport Award.

The other award is the Bridgestone New Zealand Road Transport Hero Award. This is a prestigious award that identifies the actions of a member of the road transport industry who, in the course of their normal workday, saves or attempts to save another person from danger.

Any industry employee is eligible for this award and it would be fantastic to receive some strong nominations. If some of the anecdotes we hear about are true, then there are plenty of worthy nominees out there, so get those nominations in.

Our industry is painfully modest about its achievements at times and I know how bashful so many of our members are, but it is important that outstanding contributions to the industry are recognised. These awards are not in any way elitist or restricted to those in director or management positions, so if you know of someone in your business who goes the extra mile for the organisation and their workmates, then step up and nominate them.

The five awards will be presented at the Road Transport Industry Awards Dinner on Wednesday 26 September in the beautiful Dunedin Town Hall.

Criteria and nomination forms for each of the awards can be found in the events section of the RTF website (www.rtfnz. co.nz), while registration for the conference and awards dinner are available at the RTF conference website (rtfconference. co.nz).  The conference website, including an online registration facility and accommodation options, sponsorship packages, transport and a partner’s programme, is now online and available at www.rtfconference.co.nz.

THE LAST MILE

Is your maintenance up to scratch?

R

ecently I read two court decisions related to truck maintenance, and we should learn from both of them. One came from the Criminal Appeal Court of the Supreme Court of New South Wales and the other from the District Court in Auckland.

The NSW case was an appeal by a truck driver convicted on two charges of dangerous driving causing grievous bodily harm and four charges of wilful neglect causing bodily harm.

On these charges he was sentenced to three years in prison with a non-parole period of two years. The appeal heard that the brakes on the truck were badly out of adjustment and that nonstandard brake linings, supplied by the owner of the truck, had been fitted. Expert opinion during the hearing said that both these factors led to brake failure, resulting in the driver losing control of the truck while going downhill. The Appeal Court accepted this opinion, the driver’s sentence was quashed, and he was released from prison.

The Auckland situation was similar, faulty brakes resulting in the driver losing control going downhill and crashing. In this

case the defendant was a leasing company that was charged under the old Health and Safety in Employment Act with failing to take all practicable steps to ensure that the truck they leased had been maintained so that it was safe for its intended use. During the hearing the court heard that the truck involved was not suitable for its intended job, resulting in higher than expected maintenance costs; servicing was not always carried out as planned due to the need to keep the truck on the road; maintenance was sometimes carried out in an environment that was not suitable; the brakes were badly out of adjustment; some brakes were not working, and somebody had removed the bulb from the ABS warning light, resulting in the driver not being aware the brake system had a fault. Mechanics for the third-party maintenance provider told about having insufficient time to do the work required. From the evidence given it appears that similar faults to the ones found in the accident vehicle were apparent across many trucks in the operator’s fleet. Trucks did have a vehicle condition assessment carried out from time to time, generally just prior to a CoF inspection; one witness suggested that these were done to manipulate the ORS. Both these cases are concerning but could have been easily avoided if all the parties involved understood what they should be doing and had been more responsible in the approach to vehicle maintenance and servicing. In the Auckland case it seems that the issues that resulted in the crash had their origin some years previously when the trucks were first put into service, as it became pretty clear they were not really suitable.

Vehicles that are not suitable for the task resulting in higher than expected maintenance costs will generally only have one outcome.

When a driver finds a fault, it must be treated seriously no matter how trivial it may seem at the time. Drivers are in the best position to identify if the truck does not ‘feel’ right, however if they feel their concerns are not being listened to, after a while they will stop airing them, resulting in serious consequences as in the two cases talked about above.

There is no excuse for allowing a truck to be used when it is not safe; nobody wins but the entire industry suffers from the ensuing bad publicity. Furthermore it gives the anti-truck lobby more ammunition to be used against us. In this respect we are our own worst enemy. 

When a driver finds a fault, it must be treated seriously no matter how trivial it may seem at the time.

Geemac STILL IN THE DRIVER’S SEAT AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

Driving a truck or piece of heavy machinery and having the driver or operator be comfortable would be considered a no-brainer in these days of heightened health and safety awareness, but it wasn’t always like that.

Isringhausen 6860-875 NTS right hand Pro Deluxe seat

B

ack in 1989 when Gordon and Jan McKendry started Geemac Trading (NZ), principally supplying the local bus industry with heaters, there was considerably less choice when it came to drivers’ seats. Gordon’s background was in buses and transport and two years after starting Geemac, he and Jan introduced high-quality drivers’ seats to the product portfolio in the form of ISRI, manufactured

by Isringhausen of Germany, a global OEM supplying specialised seating solutions to truck and bus makers worldwide.

Geemac has been the exclusive ISRI distributor in New Zealand since 1991, stocking an extensive seat range and, importantly, a large range of parts. “If we have not got it in stock, we can have what the customer needs in a couple of days. We carry a large range of seats and parts at our West Auckland warehouse,” says Gordon.

Over the past 29 years, the family-owned Geemac has listened carefully to its customers to ensure they offer a personalised, expert service along with their trusted, quality brands from Europe and Australia.

Geemac knows the quality brands and likes to stick with them, having distributed ISRI

since 1991, Aurora (heating and ventilation) since 1989, and Hanover (bus LED destination display signage) for nearly 20 years. “We have been consistent,” says Gordon.

The team is small but professional and very knowledgeable in providing advice, support, seats and parts to the trucking and transport industry. Typically, orders placed before 1pm will be dispatched the same day, minimising downtime.

When he’s not in the warehouse or office, Gordon is a keen fisherman, poor golfer and passionate All Black fan (he tells us).

Over their years in business, Gordon and Jan have smartly facilitated both change and quality of choice in the local seats aftermarket.

For Geemac, the truck driver is the most important part of the truck. As Gordon points out, “Trucks are serviced regularly, and many transport companies will keep a supply of mechanical parts, but spare seats are usually conspicuous by their absence”. Seats tend to get looked at only when something breaks.

Much of what Geemac sell is at the higher end of the market. The ISRI seat will last a long time and keep the driver comfortable perhaps for more than a million kilometres, and if something wears out, there’s a big stock of parts on hand in New Zealand. For many that’s a price worth paying. So, when viewed in those terms it’s easy to see why Isringhausen is the most specified seat brand in the world and referred to as being ‘The World’s Best Driver’s Seat’.

Geemac supply Isringhausen seats for all major truck marques including DAF, ERF, Iveco, MAN, Mercedes-Benz, Scania, Volvo, Freightliner, Fuso, Hino, Kenworth, Mack, Western Star, Fuso and many more.
