The simple truth is that the big bangers failed to come to the party. Not that the total figures of 1,266/12,999 were poor by any means and it should be noted that the December total was above that of 2018. It is just that, against the record year’s 1,186/14,344, the shortfall here was more than the difference. Kenworth certainly aided the segment’s December effort but the damage was done earlier in the year, the respective totals being 293/2,838 against 259/2,946. It needed help but last year was a troubled one for Volvo, which could only manage 156/1,683 against 141/2,138, that latter total being a record, though there is some promise in last December’s figure. Isuzu, with 204/1,515 against 184/1,858, took third place for the year and second for last December but was unable to make the most of earlier months. Back in 2018, we noted that Mercedes-Benz "broke into four figures with 1,097 – more than double 2016’s 423 and up significantly on the following year’s 813". This year, it consolidated its four-figure annual station with 95/1,218 against 82/1,097. The same can be said of Scania, which ended last year on 74/1,129 with the record year coming in at 69/891. Of those in the second division of this segment, special

Pessimists might say that the era of medium-duty relevance has passed, given its steady decline over the past decade or so. No doubt, the year total gives credence to the judgement and the figure doesn’t lie. But there is a caveat, if a minor one. As we observed in 2018: "Ten years ago, at 761 and 9,609, the medium-duty segment was in its pomp. "Though 2018 is yet to hit that level, the segment regularly tops each previous year in the second-half of this decade. "So, at 693 and 8,210, it’s not yet threatening 2008’s totals but the segment is working on it." Well, last year’s total was 7,390, franking the dark sentiment, but last December, at 734 units, was 41 up on December 2018.

A sliver of a silver lining but a sliver regardless. And the big three were doing their utmost, with Isuzu 333/3,067 v. 292/3,307, Hino 205/2,322 v. 2,187 and Fuso 140/1,451 v. 112/1,230. But where once they had MAN to throw just shy of 700 units to the annual total, it has fallen by the wayside with 7/78.

Light-duty Truck sales heroics have often been found in the lightest segment. It was certainly so in 2018 and 2021 did not disappoint. The totals of 1,203/14,354 last year showed clear air on 2018’s 1,188/11,628. Whereas powerhouse Isuzu was then seen as threatening the 5,000 unit barrier, this was smashed to the tune of 363/5,593. As regularly, support came from Hino 333/3,346 and Fuso 259/2,744. And just as regularly it fell away from there, though with honourable mentions the big-van brigade of Iveco 83/923 and Fiat 127/705.

This is something the industry needs to avoid, if it’s to have that crucial injection of new blood. So, it is with some comfort that we find this 2015 Freightliner Coronado 114 being offered for just $65,000. Now, you don’t need to be an old hand to start scratching your chin and, with 1,062,652km on the clock, wondering about the drawback of such a proposition. But let’s tease a couple of those issues out a bit. The main concerns are, was it well-handled in the seven years or so and is the vendor the sort that deserves trust? On the latter, it should be noted that it is being “sold directly from Freightliner’s factory-operated used truck outlet”. So, not some shady character from an industrial region back-block, then. On the former, we are assured that it comes from well-respected fleet. It would take the merest modicum of due diligence and a test-drive to see if that all checks out. As the sales pitch puts it, the truck is “priced right for start-ups or just upscaling your fleet”. We couldn’t put it better ourselves.

2014 Kenworth K200 550hp Cummins with history Eaton trans 1,425,365km $154,000 Baranduda VIC 03 8547 8558

Next, we’re fighting the temptation to find a fluffy white cat to stroke while crowing with an air of feigned menace: “So, Kenworth K200, we meet again!” That’s because we covered the considerable attributes of just this make and model late last year. This 6x4 rolled off the Bayswater production line in December 2014 and, for its fourth birthday present, gained a new 550hp Cummins engine, the history of which a potential buyer can peruse. Then, three years later, it got a new turbo and clutch. What friends and family of the lucky buyer won’t often see are the parts that help the donk do the work, such as the Eaton RTLO20918 transmission, Dana D46-170 rear axles at 4.3 rear axle ratio and Kenworth Airglide 460 air bag suspension. But they will appreciate the polished alloy wheels, maroon diamond trim and slide-out fridge and storage. Other attractions include a UHF radio, auto greaser and Right Weigh scales. It is worth a quick reprise of what was said about that earlier unit and what the K200 was all about when launched. It was the first of new design built to pamper drivers with a host of creature comforts, such as more room and ease of movement around the cab and less heat and noise. Why wouldn’t you want to buy one?

2014 Iveco P/Star Tipper 500hp Auto 288,000km $159,500 Campbellfield VIC

And there will be more in central regions of this great nation as flood repairs get under way. With stock shortages being the issue on many lips, it’s almost possible to believe that someone with deep pockets would be tempted to hoard them. Almost. But if some wealthy ne’er-do-well with too much money and time on their hands was to try something like that, this Iveco would be the sort of unit that’d be front of mind. It’s a 2014 Powerstar ADN500 automatic 6x4 that has done a modest 288,000km. Adding to the allure is the Hamelex White aluminium bin on its back – gee, what’s not to like? It is said to sport a 500hp engine, air tailgate, 50mm coupling and it is plumbed for a dog. Just on that engine rating, a quick reminisce – in our ATN and OwnerDriver siblings’ back issues, and online in both – shows they were powered by a Cursor 13 donk with SCR. But, back then, its power and torque ratios were put at 560hp (412kW) at 1,900rpm and 1,840ft-lb (2,495Nm) at 1,000rpm. So, even if there have been no developments under the bonnet since new, there may still be more oomph available than advertised.

APPROACH

Doser Freight Forwarding’s personalised approach to business is one that gels perfectly with Vawdrey Australia

Adam cites his

working

relationship with Vawdrey as the key ingredient

In 1965, family business Doser Freight began operating as a privately-owned long distance transport company based in Adelaide. Now in its 54th year of operation, the company has branched interstate without losing its personal touch with customers. Company founder Brian Doser retired at the end of 2018, with his son, Adam Doser, continuing to operate the family business after making a brief emigration to Western Australia before returning in 2005. Adam said his return to the family business was sparked out of a need for a greater work/life balance. “I just love the flexibility and being able to spend more time with family,” Adam said. The growth of the company has been steady, utilising a range of equipment from open bed flat trailers to Vawdrey Titeliners, standard and drop deck floors and pantechs. “We run a combination of A and B, 22-pallet trailers and 12-pallet [shorter] trailers with mezz decks,” he added. “The A trailers have a 140 cubic metre capacity at around 34 tonnes.” Having recently purchased new sets of Vawdrey drop deck Titeliner trailers, Adam praised their tare weight in tandem

with their light, but strong, construction. A perfect combination for fuel consumption, weight distribution and ensuring compliance across Australia’s extensive road and bridge network. It is no coincidence to see then that Vawdrey Australia is now leading the way in the design and manufacture of high-tech equipment under the performance-based standards (PBS) high productivity scheme. As a family-orientated business, the personalised approach is also important with Doser Freight’s business partners. Adam cited his working relationship with Vawdrey as the key ingredient in the accord between the two companies. Initially focused on food and beverage logistics, Doser Freight is acutely aware that the industry demands special attention to detail and understands the stringent standards required throughout a reliable and seamless supply chain to ensure optimum temperature and condition. “That’s why all our trailers run on air ride suspensions to ensure a smooth ride for all goods,” Adam said. This approach has seen the company

DEALS Showcase Vawdrey’s trailing equipment is bolstering supply chain resilience

High productivity Vawdrey drop deck Titeliner combination

expand its logistics support from food and beverage to medical supply. “We do a bit of everything,” Adam said. While his company may have an ‘allrounder’ status, its approach is nothing short of specialist. Doser Freight even specialises in Category A substance transportation. Supply chains in a post-Covid-19 world will require resilient systems and processes combined with reliability and transparency throughout every step of the process. The global pandemic has been a marked test for business and industry, but probably none more than the entertainment industry – reporting some of the sharpest revenue declines. As exhibition and entertainment specialists, Doser Freight bore witness to the flow-on effects across entertainment ancillary industries. “We engage in exhibition supply from Adelaide to Darwin,” Adam said. “Entertainment has been hit hard, all the way through to the supply of beer

to pubs. But it is starting to come back.” Notwithstanding the hurdle of Covid-19, Doser Freight has expanded its portfolio and managed to generate extra work during the pandemic. Adam pointed out that 2021 was decidedly busier than 2020 thanks to landing a contract with DHL – one he had been chasing for three years. It is no surprise to see that partnership and productivity are inextricably linked, as the partnership between Vawdrey Australia and Doser Freight continues to show.

Dogs & Chains OK, that’s enough! Stop it! You crazed interloping designers with your slippery modern truck renderings have lost any semblance of originality and your vehicles, proposed and extant, all look the same. Latest to jump on this groaning bandwagon is Pininfarina. And, in case you are wondering what this Italian design house best known for cute cars is doing in the trucks realm, please be advised that it’s got ones for trains as well. Oh, and coffee machines. Did we mention the furniture and cookware? Pininfarina might “move dreams” but this truck effort, this far down the track, is just sleepmaking to our eyes.

A little industry policy bird whispered in our shelllike something really quite surprising. Indeed, even the old dogs at the kennel were shocked. As of 2020, Australia had 2.77 million paid up heavy vehicle driver licences. Counting all the trucks and buses above 4.5 tonnes GVM, which numbered 463,000

in 2020, the ratio of heavy vehicle licences to heavy vehicles is six to one. You read that right. That is six paid-up heavy vehicles licenses for every heavy vehicle in Australia. How come we have a driver shortage? Have things changed so dramatically since we hit 2022? Food for thought . . .

It is a remarkable fact that the most popular online story for ATN/ fullyloaded.com.au over the Christmas/New Year happened to be our ‘Which is Which?’ item on red Kenworths at the Brisbane Truck Show. Now we are afflicted. We just can’t stop seeing new options. So, like an addict to the drug of choice, we’re at it again. There are plenty of ways to contrast the difference in attitudes between our northern hemisphere cousins either side of the Atlantic. Americans have regularly over time regarded the English as, shall we say, soft or, more accurately, if they ever use the word, effete. And the response has been to point out a certain lack of class or any discernible subtlety. As with all generalisations, a grain of truth can be found somewhere. At the kennel, we found it in the approach to making the Rolls-Royce a practical working conveyance. Both are based on Silver Shadows, though of different years. But here’s the question: Which is Which? (Hint: one of them can tow a 13-tonne trailer with ease.)

Now, anyone thinking ute-ifying a Roller is a modern phenomenon can be disabused of such a notion and we have this image from fans’ website Bentlyspotting, which is not above addressing things Rolls, for the proof. This is a 1950 Chassis 4AF4 Phantom IV ute. One of our old dog’s memory is hazy at best but there is some recollection of a cut-down Roller being used as a furniture truck in either Tasmania, or perhaps Melbourne, in the 1920s. The story goes that news of its use in such labour was too much for headquarters in Crewe, which sent two senior employees Down Under by ship to purchase it forthwith. The reason? Such toil was beneath the dignity of the vehicle. That said, we understand that the company did convert a one-off 1920 Silver Ghost as a one-of-one service

vehicle that was built so that Rolls-Royces would never have to be seen assisted by a ‘lesser car’ . . . (groan, whimper). Now, good marketing for the time aside, all this really is ‘effete’.

Pacific National boss and cheeky chappie Paul Scurrah took time out not long ago to spruik rail as a natural freight replacement for trucks in these Covid-afflicted times when drivers are in short supply. Well, all’s fair in love, war and marketing. Oddly, at time of writing, the gentlemen and women

of trucking appeared to have resisted asking pointedly who was going to get freight past the South Australian track washouts affecting national rail services. Weren’t too many trucks being replaced trains just then and no other routes for trains to use. Just saying . . .

Don’t #uck with a truck Snappy safety message to catch attention in latest education campaign The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) has launched a new major road safety awareness campaign for young drivers that seems impossible for them to ignore. Titled ‘Don’t #uck With A Truck’, it is aimed at Learner (L) and Provisional (P) licence holders. Beyond the admonishment that looks destined to gain wide attention, NHVR CEO Sal Petroccitto said the campaign demonstrates how L and P licence holders can drive safely around trucks, including rules to follow when trucks are turning, stopping and how to overtake a truck. “The campaign is intentionally provocative and is designed to grab the target audience’s attention and start important conversations around road safety. “Getting an L or P plate is a big step in a young person’s life – it is essential they have the information and skills to stay safe around trucks and develop positive long-term driving behaviours. “Our goal is to prevent situations where a young driver could be in a lane next to a turning truck, or they pull in front of a truck too soon,” Petroccitto says. A survey of 500 L and P licence holders aged between 16–25 found more than 78% of participants were unable to identify the correct stopping distance for a prime mover semi-trailer truck travelling 80km/h, which is 116 metres. Less than half, 45%, knew to keep one lane either side of a truck free when it is turning.

When it came to how to overtake a truck safely, 30% didn’t know you should only pull back in front of a truck when you can see its headlights in your rear-view mirror. Don’t #uck With A Truck will appear online on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Snapchat, YouTube and across billboards and university O-Week pop-ups. The campaign is

The aim is to make L and P drivers safer around trucks on the road

funded by the NHVR’s Heavy Vehicle Safety Initiative, supported by the federal government. For more information on the campaign, visit the website: www.dontmuckwithatruck.com.au

NHVR taps ASG in digital services deal IT provider ASG Group will provide the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) with infrastructure and managed application services over at least three years. The new contract contains options to extend for up to seven years, and ASG will create 22 new roles to help support the NHVR’s borderless approach to regulatory services and administration. “We are delighted to have been selected by the NHVR as the preferred partner to manage their infrastructure and managed application services,” ASG CEO Dean Langenbach said. “The NHVR’s relationship with ASG Group is built on our mutual commitment to transparency, and we are confident that our partnership with ASG will help us deliver for all our stakeholders.” This is not the first business ASG has done with a government transport entity. It has previously upgraded the Queensland Department of Transport and Main Roads’ road conditions service to the public. The NHVR expects the contract will

Truck licence changes go to national cabinet committee Forklift licence age limit reduction knocked back but hope remains for other ideas The Australian Trucking Association (ATA) has expressed disappointment that National Cabinet has blocked one option to tackle the industry’s skills shortage but has hopes for others. Off the agenda for the moment is the conditional opening of forklift operator training to 16-year-olds, after prime minister Scott Morrison mentioned it and understanding of the context failing to emerge subsequently. It was one of several ideas industry put forward to governments as the country looks to tackle pandemicinduced transport and logistics disruption in the immediate and longer terms. “National Cabinet considered the trucking industry’s proposals to support the freight and logistics effort including reducing the age of eligibility to apply for a forklift license [sic], recognition of New Zealand truck driver licenses [sic] in Australia and having experience or competency based licencing for heavy vehicle driver licenses [sic],” the statement reads. “New Zealand and Australian driver license [sic] matters have been referred to the National Cabinet Infrastructure and Transport Reform Committee for consideration and National Cabinet agreed not to

progress the industry’s proposed forklift license [sic] changes.” ATA chair David Smith told ATN the industry had sought an easier path for early school leavers to come into and progress in the sector for decades, with forklifts being a particular avenue seen to have promise. “We don’t want an unsafe workplace,” Smith underlined, noting the concept was married to competence-based development and close supervision. The issue has been state regulatory impediments to training less-academically inclined youth who would otherwise baulk at “washing trucks for two years” and be tempted elsewhere. “The industry has been losing school leavers because of that hurdle,” Smith said. “This has been going on for a long time.” The ATA has been stung by what it regards as misinformed or lazy criticism of options in the industry’s and economy’s time of need, when none have otherwise been offered. Smith pointed to fast-tracking Afghan truck drivers, who had supported the Australian war effort in that country, to plug skills gaps in the Pilbara as one worth serious consideration.

In a similar vein, he sees easing the path of New Zealand truck drivers who wish to relocate as one immediate recourse that could be implemented with little drama. But he emphasised that so much was predicated on a strong and wellstructure training sector. Meanwhile, the Transport Workers Union (TWU) estrangement from the peak body’s along with its ideological opposition to the federal Coalition government came to the fore in its response. “Rushing through weakened licencing requirements for truck drivers will only make Australia’s deadliest industry more dangerous,” the TWU said. The union said it had been pushing governments to implement structured, thought-through competency-based licensing for years, but the new changes proposed by National Cabinet come without any consultation with it. “This is yet another panicked, halfbaked response from a government that has ignored warnings and failed to plan for the reality of Covid-19,” national assistant secretary Nick McIntosh said. “Now the Morrison government is just falling back into bad habits of listening to the bosses, or unrepresentative swill by the likes of

the Australian Trucking Association, who see this crisis as an opportunity to cut corners and erode safety standards. “Scaling back hours required to obtain a trucker’s licence and opting instead for a cereal box licensing scheme will only make our roads more deadly.” The union noted that, so far in 2022, 12 people killed in truck crashes, including three truck drivers. “We already know what the outcome will be if we weaken licensing requirements,” McIntosh said. “Last time we discussed licensing, training changes and reliance on foreign drivers, we had truckies who were blocking tunnels they couldn’t fit under because they didn’t know how to reverse the truck. Before anyone gets behind the wheel they need training.” The response was not all negative, with the union noting a 2021 Senate report into improving transport safety, recommended improving regulation around truck licensing

and underlining that it supports experience and competency based licensing if it is evidence-based and properly introduced. “The government has ignored every effort to make roads and trucking safer – from ignoring the need for RATs to keep the supply chain running to dismissing the comprehensive recommendations of a two-year long Senate Inquiry into the trucking industry. “Now Scott Morrison is panicking and trying to put band-aid solutions to cover his own mess.” Morrison later expanded on what the National Cabinet decisions were about. “We took, I took, the industry proposals that had come from our consultation in the transport sector for discussion at National Cabinet today,” he said. “We agreed to proceed no further with the issue of 16-year-old forklift drivers. It was a matter raised with us with the industry. “We had a good discussion about it today and that is not something that we believe, collectively, that that

should be pursued at this time. “We also agreed, though, to proceed through the Transport Ministers’ National Cabinet Subcommittee on the proposals regarding licensing and ensuring that we can have an experience-based licensing system for our road transport long haul operators and other truck drivers, that can also recognise New Zealand licences to ensure we can get more of those truck drivers into truck cabs now, who are needed because of the furloughing impacts of Covid. But also, this is an issue which is an ongoing issue. “And so, presently, the system is based on time, as opposed to actual experience of driving. So the example is that you would get a license after a number of years, as opposed to a number of hours actually driving. So should be based on your experience of driving, just not the lapsing of time. “We think that’s better for safety, as well as getting more truck drivers into truck cabs more quickly to deal with those labour shortages not, just not now, but into the future.”

Shearer sheds light on forklift training concept With misunderstanding and knee-jerk reactions rife over the trucking industry’s forklift training and licensing reform concept, South Australian industry luminary Steve Shearer has sought to add light and context to it. The idea has the involvement and backing of SA innovation and skills minister David Pisoni, himself no stranger to the challenges of creating more skilled young people, nor of forklift training. “The proposal David Pisoni and I have comprises: 1) a contract of training; 2) restricted forklift licence only valid at the host employer’s premises (so not transferable interstate or to other employers); 3) supervisory requirements,” Shearer, the South Australia Road Transport Association (SARTA) CEO, told ATN. “It is absurd to class all 16- and 17-yearolds as unsafe and being older is no guarantee of safety. It’s about proper competency-based training and supervision, which our proposal covers. “This is vital for road freight sector because ever since the age threshold

Steve Shearer was raised to 18 we have lost the only non-mechanic entry pathway for young people into trucking and that has devastated our industry’s career structure. “It’s a key reason why our age profile is now seriously out of kilter and presenting an inevitable threat to our sustainability.” He argued that if young school leavers or school-based apprentices can only push a broom around a truck depot, the work value and justifiable wage is too low, so it’s unattractive to them. He emphasised that other sectors need this too and that it is worth hundreds of

jobs, while questioning the basis for the present rules. “I discussed the issue with Michael Francis, CEO of Return To Work SA, who agreed to search their records for evidence of claims re under-18 forklift drivers ... they found none,” Shearer said. “SafeWorkSA has repeatedly failed to provide evidence of any actual issues and they just say that SA adopted the 18-year-old threshold under a national uniformity regime. “So, its uniformity for the sake of it, despite the serious adverse consequences for trucking and for SA.” Shearer insists that the restricted licence model that Pisoni and he are pushing “won’t offend national uniformity because the restricted licence would not be portable”. “A properly structured competencybased and supervised model under a formal contract of training would deal with the alleged questionable safety issues and open up hundreds of career starting jobs for 16- to 18-year-olds across various industries.”

News EV policy eyes national self-reliance

EVC and ATA release electric trucks policy position Urgent reform to deliver new transport era in Australia seen as crucial The Electric Vehicle Council (EVC) and the Australian Trucking Association (ATA) have released policies necessary to drive Australian trucking into an electric future. The initiative comes four months after the two organisations formed a partnership to drive down electric freight vehicle barriers in Australia. Electrification would assist trucking businesses and supply chains by ending volatile diesel costs, reducing maintenance costs, improving urban efficiency, and delivering better conditions for truck drivers, they note. However, they point out that Australia currently lags most of the world in the electrification of trucks making the need for reform urgent, saying that of the 58 electric truck models available in North America, Europe, and China only 14 are available to the Australian market. Key recommendations from the new EVC/ATA policy agreement include exempting electric trucks from urban curfews, changing Australian weight and width limits to accommodate batteries, and exempting electric trucks from stamp duty. “Every government in Australia has committed to net-zero, but this can’t be achieved without decarbonising the transport sector,” EVC CEO Behyad Jafari said. “Curfew-free operations are a huge opportunity, creating benefits for operators optimising fleet operations and to the community through reducing peak hour traffic and congestion. “We need the government to read these recommendations and get

moving fast. If we implement them swiftly the benefits to Australian trucking, our economy and our environment will be truly massive. “The AdBlue shortage crisis was a potent warning about our extreme fuel insecurity. “Why should Australia be dependent on China and the Middle East to keep itself moving when we could be using home-grown power? “Being able to power our supply chains with local electricity is a surely a national sovereignty imperative.” ATA chair David Smith saw electric power will be a game changer for the industry. “It costs about $117 to fuel a diesel truck for 300 kilometres, but just $18 for an electric truck,” Smith said. “If Australia gets left behind on the transition to electric and zero emission trucks, we risk our supply chains and exporters getting stuck with high, globally uncompetitive per km freight costs. “Trucking operators face a number of barriers to buy and use an electric truck and these must be addressed to lower freight costs, improve fuel security and reduce emissions.” Australia currently lags most of the world in the electrification of trucks making the need for reform urgent. Of the 58 electric truck models available in North America, Europe, and China only 14 are available to the Australian market. Key recommendations from the new EVC/ATA policy agreement include: • truck width should be increased to align with standards used by major supplier economies (current width

standards precludes many electric truck models from being used in Australia) • one tonne concession for electric and zero emission trucks (Australia’s steer axle mass limit, currently 6.5 tonnes, is holding back the deployment of larger electric truck models due to the weight of batteries) • electric trucks to be exempt from urban curfews (electric trucks are much quieter and therefore do not require curfews) • mandate Euro VI emissions standards for new heavy vehicle models from 2024 (this would bring standards into force 3.5 years earlier than proposed in the government’s draft Regulation Impact Statement) • incentive payment to reduce the cost of installing charging infrastructure at depots • investment in public charging infrastructure to support on route electric truck charging • incentive payment to reduce the upfront purchase price difference between electric/zero emission trucks and internal combustion engine trucks (In California and Germany incentives are provided to reduce or eliminate the price difference for battery, fuel cell and trolley hybrid drive systems. The upfront purchase price of an electric truck can be double its diesel equivalent) • exempt electric and zero emission trucks from stamp duty • set sales target for zero-emission trucks of 30% by 2030 and 100% by 2040 (this goal is to drive ambition and measure the success or failure of existing incentives). The EVC-ATA policy agreement was informed by a series of workshops held to identify challenges for the sector involving some 50 participating organisations including truck manufacturers, fleet operators, and charging infrastructure and electricity providers.

JSS Logistics bought Kwik Logistics out of administration

Northfleet bolsters northern exposure with JSS buy JSS Logistics brings 35 prime movers soon after Kwik takeover Increasingly acquisitive Wester Australian truck and bus concern Northfleet Transport has revealed its purchase of another trucking concern: JSS Logistics. The news came hard on the heels of hard-pressed Kwik Logistics entering voluntary administration. “Northfleet Transport is delighted to announce the successful acquisition of JSS Logistics,” it said in a social media post. “Combining JSS Logistics and the recently acquired Kwik Logistics together with Northfleet Transport has created one of WA’s largest and most diverse truck, crane, haulage and transport companies.” JSS Logistics is a privately owned transport and logistics company operating out of Karratha and Perth. The value of the deal was not disclosed. Within the WA, it offers specialised transport services throughout the Perth metro, Pilbara and Kimberley regions. Its fleet is said to comprise 35 prime movers and 130 trailers and dollys. “JSS Logistics is a very welcome addition to the overall Northfleet Group, and we are delighted to welcome all JSS employees and clients,” Northfleet MD Toby Hagen said. “Combined with our recent acquisition of Kwik Logistics, merging these two great businesses’ into Northfleet Transport creates one of Western Australia’s largest and most diverse trucking and logistics companies, offering clients complete statewide transport solutions for life of project requirements – whether that be trucking and freight, lay down requirements, or fleet and crane hire.”

News Wiseway reported strong December quarter

Wiseway reports strong quarter for T&L All modes up, particularly Australian land freight Integrated logistics firm Wiseway has reported strong December quarter revenue gains in its most important lines. The listed firm’s Airtruck Road Transportation arm led the way in percentage terms, up 89% on previous corresponding period (pcp), from $900,000 to $1.7 million. This was followed by a 68% rise for its imports and distribution business, from $2.5 million to $4.2 million and perishables income, up 62% from $6.9 million to $11.2 million. It’s most valuable operation, airfreight, gained 6%, from $23.5 million to $25 million, while sea freight was up 7% to $1.5 million. “We saw solid performance across our key business segments amid challenging market conditions,” CEO Roger Tong said. “Revenue continued to increase in our growth business segments including road transportation, imports and distribution and perishables which demonstrates Wiseway’s increasingly diversified business model. “Meanwhile, air freight dry cargo volume steadily grew compared to pcp and to Q1 FY22, despite the ongoing supply chain disruptions and the impact of Covid-19 on international flights. “Our strategic investment program continues to deliver new and organic growth opportunities, increased supply chain efficiencies and revenue synergies with revenue from the offshore operations in China, the newly acquired Singapore business and the US operations starting to flow.”

The company announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Wiseway Shanghai International Logistics Company Limited (Wiseway China), has obtained international certification from the International Air Transport Association (IATA). “This strengthens the company’s long-standing strategic industry

relationships and enables it to deal directly with leading global airlines to address their expanding cargo transportation needs across the Wiseway network around the world,” it stated. Despite ongoing challenges in the operating environment globally, including the spread of the Covid19 Omicron variant, Wiseway said that it remains cautiously optimistic that the freight and logistics industry growth is expected to continue, as the pressures on international supply chains begin to ease in the future.

The NSW government is mandating signage on top of mobile speedcamera operator vehicles but not on the approaches to a camera site; a move that has underwhelmed the industry body. “The danger is that drivers of all vehicles will brake suddenly when they see the camera instead of checking their speed on the approach,” NatRoad CEO Warren Clark said. “Speed camera warning signs are an important reminder to drivers to check their speed and slow down but motorists braking suddenly creates a new risk.” Clark said heavy vehicle operators deal with an array of variable speed limits that can produce unintended breaches of the rules. “Mobile speed cameras should always be deployed in areas with a poor accident history. “Signage that reminds all drivers to check their speed well before they reach a black spot makes sense.”

There are calls to expand signage on the approach to a speed camera

In November, NatRoad appeared before the NSW Parliamentary Staysafe Committee Inquiry into the speed camera regime to make its case for the return of signage. “We told the committee that people viewed speeding fines as revenueraising because the link between penalties and safety outcomes is unclear or poorly spelt out,” Clark said. “As it stands, Revenue NSW does not even split its fines data between light and heavy vehicles. “It’s impossible to see the effects of enforcement on heavy vehicle safety if the basic data is not available and we’ll continue to advocate for evidencebased measures that enhance safety.”

News Energy minister Angus Taylor, assistant transport minister Scott Buchholz, Incitec Pivot MD and CEO Jeanne Johns and prime minister Scott Morrison at the Gibson Island plant

The end of the beginning Australia’s AdBlue shortage threat has subsided but is yet to disappear They failed to quite make victory speeches but January comments from Incitec Pivot Ltd (IPL) MD and CEO Jeanne Johns and federal industry minister Angus Taylor in the last week of last month were close to jubilant. Certainly there was self-interest involved but that was forgivable given the crisis that was averted. Following limited AdBlue supply from overseas markets and federal government investment, the company’s Gibson Island plant in Brisbane has boosted production eight-fold. “Our expert teams have been working non-stop throughout the holiday period to expand our domestic AdBlue manufacturing and distribution capability,” IPL MD and CEO Jeanne Johns said. “We are pleased to have reached the milestone of producing and distributing just over three million litres of AdBlue in the seven days ending on Sunday January 23, a massive 800% increase compared to the amount we were producing in early December.” The company noted that the three million litre-a-week milestone had been reached by expanding production of IPL’s existing method to manufacture AdBlue. This allowed

the final AdBlue product – a liquid form – to be directly distributed to wholesalers for distribution to the retail network. When Australia’s AdBlue supply shortage is less critical, IPL plans to undertake a manufacturing assessment to produce technical grade urea – a granulated (non-liquid) form of urea that can be supplied to Australian AdBlue blenders to manufacture liquid AdBlue. Federal industry minister Angus Taylor praised the firm and put the accomplishment into national perspective.

HVIA chief executive Todd Hacking

“Incitec Pivot last week achieved a significant milestone – producing over three million litres of AdBlue in the week, representing around 75% of Australia’s AdBlue needs,” Taylor reported. “This locally produced AdBlue is already flowing through the domestic supply chain to wholesalers and service stations across the country. “Incitec Pivot has also commissioned a dedicated AdBlue distribution facility in Brisbane, which has the capacity to load the equivalent of three B-double trucks per hour. “The 24/7 operations will allow more AdBlue to get to market efficiently and help boost consumer confidence.” He noted that other local AdBlue manufacturers continue to play an important role in the supply chain through production and distribution, with the government assisting these businesses by facilitating commercial supplies from overseas through our diplomatic network. “Since late 2021, the government has been working closely with AdBlue manufacturers, fuel retailers, and transport and logistics bodies through the National Coordination Mechanism, to replenish out-of-stock sites,” Taylor said. “As a result of these collaborative efforts, we have managed to largely overcome many localised stock-outs at priority sites across the country, including the Hume Highway, the Riverina and South Coast of New South Wales.” Taylor reiterated ongoing advice from the government and suppliers for industry to stick to normal levels of purchasing to aid the return to normality. With a view to the longer-term future, the government continued to offer assistance to AdBlue

News AdBlue tank

manufacturers and suppliers to secure international supplies of TGU and AdBlue, and assist with shipping and customs entry into Australia. The signals were strong even two weeks earlier. Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia (HVIA) was bullish, saying action before and over the Christmas-new year period was paying off. HVIA chief executive Todd Hacking had been taking part in meetings facilitated by EMA, which is known as a National Coordination Mechanism (NCM). “Stocks of AdBlue are now steadily improving across priority sites and localised production has been ramping up at an ever-increasing rate,” Hacking said. He believed confirmation of local supply should give confidence that the situation is being resolved, and that there is no need to stockpile AdBlue. “It is still crucial that businesses do not hoard the product so those that need supplies have access to them until the situation normalises,” Hacking said. Yet both the HVIA and the National Road Transport Association (NatRoad) were taking a sober line in the second half of January. In the back of trucking minds

was the fact that the saviour facility, IPL’s Brisbane Gibson island plant, which produces fertiliser products, along with industrial chemicals for the domestic market was on borrowed time. The plant had been destined to stop local production in favour of imported ‘green’ ammonia in this December, due to high gas prices, but was given a new lease on life through a $29.4 million federal grant to boost domestic urea supply by 5,000 tonnes by the end of the month. Hacking told ABC News that while the increased supply is good news,

Energy minister Angus Taylor

there was still more work to be done. “That three million litres-a-week is really helping to stabilise the current shortage and we are seeing the dayby-day improvement of AdBlue nationwide,” Hacking said. “It’s still a day-by-day proposition, but we are certainly in a much more stable position with supply than we were pre-Christmas. “We are still not out of the woods. It’s certainly something the government and industry are monitoring every day, but we are much more confident than we were six weeks ago.” Hacking said he was “cautiously optimistic” about future supplies, but that without the IPL deal, Australia would have been in “a great deal of strife” in the short term. “The ongoing challenge is what happens in the medium and long term when this IPL deals comes to an end,” he said. “The lesson out of this is that for such a critical good we can’t just rely on one country to supply it.” NatRoad CEO Warren Clark echoed the sentiment. “We are pleased to see supplies reaching retail but Incitec Pivot has told the markets it has not changed plans to cease manufacturing in December,” Clark said. “The federal government is obviously aware of that and has ruled out subsidies to other manufacturers, while continuing attempts to source supplies from markets other than China. “We said from the outset that the shortage is a global problem but that it also underlines the need for a secure on-shore manufacturing capacity in Australia. “We are still hearing from members about instances of price gouging in spite of stocks stabilising. “We urge the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission to stay on the case.”

News Transport operators are reporting operational capacity constraints

Omicron changes container chain game Variant adds to pressure as infections lead to staff shortages says CTAA Hopes that a new year would provide a timely lessening of the enormous strain on the container transport and logistics chain were dashed as the Omicron Covid variant cut a swathe through the sector. Practices and protocols that helped container transport operators keep international container supply chains functioning and their staff and customers safe have, in many cases, been overwhelmed and no part of the chain is unaffected, Container Transport Alliance Australia (CTAA) has noted. “Container transport operators across Australia have reported to CTAA that they are experiencing between a 5% to 20% reduction in available staff, including heavy vehicle drivers, warehouse staff, forklift drivers, container unpack crews and administration, due to Covid infections and isolation requirements,” CTAA director Neil Chambers reported. “In some extreme cases this rises close to 50% of available labour. “Compounding this are staff shortages at customers’ premises, as well as at international container stevedore terminals and at empty container parks across Australia, significantly delaying the movement of containers through the supply chain. “As a result, transport operators

are reporting operational capacity constraints, with transport yards operating between 70% to over 130% capacity. “This is particularly acute due to the delays in customer deliveries, and the constant need to stage empty import containers through transport yards while trying to secure de-hire slots at clogged empty container parks or container terminals that have reached capacity to receive returns.” With Covid infections rising exponentially and now uncontrollably in many states, CTAA saw the impacts continuing for months. “DP World Australia has notified industry that approximately 10% of its workforce are impacted through either having contracted Covid-19 or are isolating at home with a positive case in their household,” Chambers said. “Vessel berthing delays at container terminals across Australia are still of significant concern, impacting all of the major stevedore companies. “The flow-on impact of these delays is terminal congestion and significant competition among transport operators to secure vehicle booking slots before import containers incur storage fees or to gain export slots to meet vessel cut-offs. “There’s not relief on the time

constraints … transport operators still only get three days to retrieve import containers from the terminals, and export receival periods can fluctuate wildly if vessels come forward in their port rotation to avoid congestion elsewhere, or are alternatively delayed from port arrival or berthing. “Weekend work has increased to try to keep up with demand. But, this comes at a significant cost to transport operators in overtime and staging costs. Plus, the current Covid labour constraints and fatigue management rostering obligations really bite on driver and staff availability on weekends.” Despite another layer of operational burden, an oftcomplained about flexibility shortfall remains in evidence and will be brought up during the Productivity Commission (PC) investigation into the sector, CTAA stated. “Import container detention fee pressure has risen too, with few shipping lines providing any relief to importers/forwarders from hefty charges for late empty return, despite congestion at their contracted container terminals or empty container park providers being a major contributor to the supply chain delays,” Chambers said. “This pressure has been made worse with shipping lines transferring many international shipments away from contracted rates and conditions to spot rates, with the latter attracting stricter import container detention conditions unless the cargo interests can negotiate a different outcome … not easy in the current global shipping climate. “As a result, transport operators are having to consult closely with their importer/forwarder customers about the circumstances where the transport operator may or may not accept any liability for the late return of import empty containers.

Diagnostics: Regulatory Round There has been a decrease in non-conformities over the past five years

Fit for purpose Roadworthiness gains vital now and into the future The safety of our industry is at the forefront of everything we do and a key element to keeping our drivers safe is ensuring heavy vehicles are roadworthy and safe to be on our roads. Unfortunately, when roadworthiness is discussed outside the heavy vehicle industry, it is usually as a result of a major crash or incident. While there is still a way to go to improve compliance across the industry our 2021 National Roadworthiness Survey (NRS:2021) has demonstrated some real improvement over the past five years. The NHVR is committed to the National Heavy Vehicle Roadworthiness program, which was established in late 2014 to drive safety and efficiency improvements to the mechanical condition of Australia’s heavy vehicle fleet. Last year, NRS:2021 inspected 13,325 heavy vehicle units across 8,338 heavy vehicle combinations in all Australian states and territories between May and June. It was great to have all jurisdictions, including Western Australia and Northern Territory involved. In the five years between the two surveys, we have seen the rate of non-conformities drop from 48% of units inspected to 31%. Importantly, the most serious cases of major non-conformities and groundings has dropped from 12% in 2016 to 6% in 2021.

Sal Petroccitto, CEO of the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator

The continuing maturity of the industry in adopting better safety practices like whole of business safety management systems and daily safety checks, have been key contributors in driving the downward trend. Our heavy vehicle operators, drivers and mechanics should be commended for their ongoing efforts in improving compliance and increasing the safety on our roads. Some of the other findings from the NRS:2021 survey showed that again that brakes remained the highest non-conforming components – although this category has reduced from 25% in 2016 to 14% in 2021. And the average age of the inspected fleet was 10.2 years, compared to 9.2 years in 2016. However, there was again a strong correlation between age of fleet and roadworthiness compliance. For example, freight hauling units over the age of 12 were three times more likely to have defects than vehicles less than three-years-old. Which is why the effort to continue to improve heavy vehicle

roadworthiness over the next five years must include incentives for new technology and programs that allow the heavy vehicle industry to drive down the age of the fleet. Some of our goals and work programs at the NHVR are listed in our Vehicle Safety and Environmental Uptake Plan (Vehicle SETUP). The plan, which includes five work packages, will be vital going forward. The work packages include removing regulatory barriers that limit the adoption of advanced technologies, offering productivity gains as an incentive for the adoption of advanced technologies and providing education to industry on the safety, productivity and environmental benefits of new vehicle technology. The results from NRS:2021 will also help inform the NHVR’s modern approach to regulation that uses intelligence to address the greatest safety risks and keeps compliant operators moving. Finally, I’d also like to thank the operators and drivers, along with the NHVR staff and staff from transport agencies across Australia for their assistance in conducting the survey, particularly with constantly changing operating conditions due to local Covid restrictions. Despite the challenges, officers across all states and territories inspected 17% more heavy vehicles in 2021, and through the use of technology and consistent inspection systems they were able to reduce the average inspection time from the from 45 minutes in 2016 to 31 minutes in 2021. While the data from NRS:2021 highlights the healthy progress made due to the hard work being undertaken to improve and monitor the Australian heavy vehicle fleet, I’m determined as an industry we continue to push on and ensure that Australia has one of the safest heavy vehicle fleets in the world.

News Paul Scurrah

Pacific National spruiks Omicron rail solution Scurrah highlights mode’s efficiency advantage in present labour crisis Pacific National has pointed to the risk advantage of using long-haul rail freight as trucking struggles with the pandemic’s evolving impacts. The intervention is timely for the mode as long-distance road freight battles to fix an ageing driver profile, opposition to vaccine mandates, a lack of skills and fewer young entrants and imported labour, with reforms such as the new apprenticeship scheme very much a longer-term fix. “The Omicron outbreak has again highlighted the innate benefits of hauling large volumes of goods and commodities over large distances by rail,” Pacific National CEO Paul Scurrah, who is also a member of the Freight on Rail Group (FORG), said. “A typical 1,500-metre interstate freight train operating between Melbourne and Sydney hauls 215 containers and is equivalent to 90 cross-border truck trips. “Where 90 truck drivers are needed, only two train drivers are required to move the same volume of freight. “Since March 2020, Pacific National has put in place rigorous systems and processes to ensure social distancing and stringent hygiene standards to reduce the risk of our freight train crews and terminal staff being exposed to Covid. “Among our employees we only

recorded a handful of positive Covid cases over the course of 2020 and 2021, despite having terminals located in major Covid hotspots. “Because of these protections, our workers have continued to provide 800 services each week across the mainland to help keep freight flowing. “Today, less than 10% of our 2,300 frontline workforce is furloughed due to Covid, allowing us to continue to service the freight needs of our 400 customers. “As a business we are finding transmission of the virus is largely occurring out in the community, rather than within the workplace. “Omicron impacts on workers who service supermarket distribution centres and retail stores is currently the weakest link in the national supply chain. “As we see in daily news bulletins, keeping shop shelves stocked has become a real challenge. “Road freight has also been harder hit than rail freight.” Scurrah also noted the importance of individual Covid testing in reducing infection risks within the company. But he also underlined serious need for more testing units. “A critical issue facing the national supply chain is securing adequate numbers of Rapid Antigen Test [RAT] kits,” he said.

“For context, a 24/7 national operation the size of Pacific National with 70 terminals and depots spread across the mainland, screening frontline rail workers three times a week, can consume approximately 7,000 RAT kits each week. “I’m relieved to say we had the foresight to secure supply of an additional 30,000 RAT kits before Christmas, but as you can imagine we are currently chewing through them at a rate of knots. Rationing of RATs is now the new norm in the national supply chain. “We understand the Australian government is bending over backwards to secure more RAT kits from around the world, but this could take weeks. “Currently it’s a major challenge for business to source RAT kits and we need to address this immediately for the sake of public health outcomes and the economy. “Like many other countries around the world, once RATs arrive on mass, National Cabinet must commit to providing free kits for all essential frontline workers. The current system is creating unnecessary angst among essential workers and distorting daily supply chain operations. “One thing is obvious, going forward, National Cabinet must start learning more from the experience of other countries where new Covid variant outbreaks have hit. “There were clear signs around the world as early as the middle of last year that RAT was increasingly going to be relied on as a key frontline defensive tool to help combat Covid. “As a country we have fared better than most, and that’s a credit to our political system, but we must keep striving to stay ahead of the global pack.”

US launches comprehensive truck-driving reform program Paid waiting times included in Trucking Action Plan to attract drivers and avoid supply chain crisis While Australia has recently gone ahead with truck-driving apprenticeships to help bring much-needed youth into the ranks, the US has embarked on a comprehensive plan to tackle its chronic shortage. The US peak trucking industry body, the American Trucking Associations, has raised the alarm over the past few years and presently estimates the US needs 80,000 more drivers to avoid sector reaching a breaking point. “In some parts of the trucking industry, 90% of drivers turn over each year,” US transportation secretary Pete Buttigieg said. “Making sure truck drivers are paid and treated fairly is the right thing to do, and it will help with both recruiting new drivers and keeping experienced drivers on the job.” The US’s Department of Transport (DOT) and Department of Labor (DOL) launched the Trucking Action Plan (TAP) a month ago and have now revealed the next steps in line with a 30-day commitment pledge. Though some of the issues are US-specific, others including pay for waiting times effort at facilities and, indeed, their own apprenticeship, have echoes on this side of the Pacific Ocean. “We need to look at these compensation issues if we really want to solve long-term challenges in trucking in the US,” Buttigieg told CBS News. According to the departments, the initiatives aim to “support drivers and improve driver retention while expanding access to quality driving jobs now and in the years ahead”. The initiatives include: • Expanding Registered Apprenticeship programs – more than 100 employers and industry partners will work to expand Registered Apprenticeships

• Creating the Women of Trucking Advisory Board mandated in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law • Creating a new task force, mandated by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, to investigate predatory truck leasing arrangements with DOL and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau • Beginning two studies to explore the issues of truck driver pay and unpaid detention time (known as ‘waiting time’ in Australia) • Launching the Safe Driver Apprenticeship Pilot – an under21 pilot program for truck drivers mandated in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. • Offering more than $32 million in funding to states to improve CDL licensing process. “In the 30 days since the Administration’s Driving Good Jobs Initiative was launched, there is new energy and enthusiasm behind the effort to ensure jobs in the trucking industry are good, safe and sustainable jobs attractive to new generation of truck drivers who will remain in the industry over the long term,” secretary of labor Marty Walsh said. “Industry has to and is stepping up to partner and, in the last month, we are already working with more than 100 employers to expand Registered Apprenticeships for drivers – an important step to making this shift a reality.”

An Australian-owned freight marketplace and management system has linked with a local business-to-business funder Butn as the former seeks to expand locally. Freightlancer, a subsidiary of listed firm Freelancer, which runs a global freelancing and crowdsourcing marketplace, is looking to gain customised services from listed small to medium enterprise transactional funding provider Butn. “With the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic elevating supply-chain issues and freight deliveries, the demands on freight owners and operators have increased significantly,” Freelancer CEO Matt Barrie said. “By integrating Butn’s platform into our leading marketplace and app, we are simplifying the way owners and operators can manage the demands of invoicing, providing them with an easy-to-use solution that offers terms against invoices on job completion.” Under the agreement, Butn is to provide Freightlancer with a customised solution, Butn Terms, which combines features across the Butn product range. “The automated end-to-end business transaction funding solution provides Freightlancer customers with a range of payment terms, assisting in their cashflow needs,” Butn noted. Rollout is expected before mid-year, starting with the Australian market. “This partnership with Freightlancer cements our position as a leading SME cashflow solutions provider in the freight sector,” Butn co-founder and co-CEO Rael Ross said. “It’s another example of Butn’s competitive advantage, embedding into partner platforms, providing end business users with the cashflow they need in seconds. “It allows Butn to leverage Freightlancer’s leading market position to deliver a powerful cashflow solution to their customers at this time of increased demand.”

The Alldiesels Top 11 engine issues Expert advice on aspects to avoid when purchasing a new truck engine Few periods in history have offered quite so many challenges for heavy-vehicle fleets and operators of industrial machinery in keeping their assets operational. These times have demanded the utmost flexibility in operations, maintenance and upkeep – not least with diesel engine needs; the backbone that keeps many businesses moving! Over its 25-plus years of experience and after helping tens of thousands of Australians and Australian businesses keep their operations running, second generation familyowned business Alldiesels Australia is well placed to be an authority to both the good and the bad of buying a new, used or rebuilt diesel engines, and shares insight into challenges.

Here, Alldiesels general manager Byron Ansiewicz shares their insight into some common pitfalls they see fleet-owners and managers making when keeping on top of their diesel engine requirements. Top 11 mistakes (not to make) when buying your next diesel engine: 1. Thinking the day you have a problem, you will be able to buy the exact replacement engine you need Particularly in the current environment with supply chain issues and slower and more expensive freight, there is less stock on the market and longer lead times. Not to mention dealers of diesel engines – [even the big branded dealers] are finding it more

challenging to get access to limited global supply. So, often, you will be waiting three-plus months for an engine once an order is placed. If you anticipate you are going to have requirements for a replacement engine, the sooner you have that discussion and source the engine, the better placed you are going to be. Having an engine sitting in surplus is often a lot cheaper and less stressful than being down on a piece of equipment or machinery for an extended period of time – right when you need it. Sure, holding an engine on inventory carries expense, though, for a lot of Alldiesels’ customers, having a critical piece of machinery out of action for months is a lot more expensive, he added. 2. Only contacting the new dealers and not understanding the industry Another mistake would be only contacting the branded dealers and distributors, and not considering that there is a market of independent engine sellers. Alldiesels is the largest independent seller in Australia that specialises in heavy US & European diesel engines, though there are also large dealers that specialise in Japanese makes or lighter engines that are worth exploring if those are your requirements. Similar to a branded car dealership, branded dealers such as Caterpillar or Cummins are often limited in the stock they can supply [generally new engines], and will have a less extensive range, not to mention typically limited to one brand, than an independent dealer. Engine brands we deal for example in include: Caterpillar, Cummins, DAF, Detroit, Iveco, John Deere, Mack, MAN, Mercedes, Perkins, Scania, Volvo and more. “This also means we have expertise across a broader range of A Cummins engine sharing space with a Mercedes-Benz unit

Feature Different makes can come from the same manufacturer

engines and can provide unbiased advice as we are not limited to just one brand or solution. We often will hold more supply of new stock than many of the branded distributors in the country, and we can source new, used and rebuilt from all over the world, which means we often have access to engines that a branded dealer will not have. 3. Not understanding the difference between buying from a wrecker vs engine builder A wrecker or dismantler will often buy a wrecked vehicle or piece of machinery, knowing that they need to dismantle and sell each component of that wreck, including the engine to make a profit. A wrecker is, more often than not, not an engine builder. They will have some mechanical understanding, though, typically, will not have the expertise or specialised equipment to be able to properly inspect an engine, run diagnostics and test an engine under load in proper simulated conditions. You’re often buying blind. Expert advice and buying an engine that has been thoroughly inspected and tested under load will save you both time and money. A wrecker also may not have the capability to resolve warranty issues if they arise. Exercise caution when buying a used engine to ensure it has been properly load tested. Simply running an engine at idle, or even through its rev range with no load, is as good as useless. To test an engine properly you need to be able to get everything up to temperature and operating under load, as that is when most issues become apparent and can be diagnosed. Essentially, the key difference behind buying from a wrecker as opposed to an engine builder/dealer such as Alldiesels Australia is you are buying an engine from experts, that has been thoroughly inspected and tested, meaning and you have peaceof-mind the engine will do what it

needs to do after you go through all the effort of installation and fitting. At Alldiesels we have a team of specialised engine builders and sales and support team who build engines all day, every day. We don’t dismantle or service trucks or fix panels, we just diagnose, inspect and build engines day in, day out. 4. Not realising that the same engine often has multiple specifications The same engine make and model will often have a number of different specifications. For example a Cummins M11 will come in the base spec, as well as Celect or Celect Plus variants. These different specifications can be due to updates over the time the engine was manufactured, have different horsepower ratings, or have differences that make them suitable for different applications (automotive or industrial). Matching the serial number from your existing engine is the best way to ensure you are buying the correct engine. 5. Not considering the difference between new, used and rebuilt There are pros and cons to buying a new, used or rebuilt engine, such as warranty, history and budget. The decision comes down to the buyer’s circumstances and requirements for the engine, though it is worth considering which of these options is relevant to you. 6. Not all rebuilds are created equal When comparing rebuilt engines,

it is critical to ensure you are comparing apples with apples. The term ‘rebuilt’ does not have a single generic meaning in the industry. Often we will see engines marketed as ‘rebuilds’ that have had a very limited build and few new/ replacement parts. Time and time again we see broad advertisements for a ‘rebuilt engine’ that might only have had partial re-work, such as: some but not all of pistons and liners replaced; cylinder heads not having new valves and springs fitted; or fuel systems not being overhauled. Often, we see components such as turbochargers, injectors and air compressors not being rebuilt or replaced with new in these ‘rebuilds’. There is nothing necessarily right or wrong with purchasing a partial or full rebuild, but no two rebuilds are the same and often buyers are not aware of the differences. Most importantly, the buyer needs to understand the extent of the rebuild and the quality of the parts used in the rebuild. Have genuine parts been used? What is the quality and reputation of the parts if non-OEM have been used? There is a long list of questions that a buyer needs to be asking to know the extent of a rebuild. 7. Buying with no warranty (or a warranty not worth the paper it is written on) Typically this will apply when buying from a wrecker or if buying a one-off piece from a small seller of an engine surplus to their requirements.

Feature Importing engines is a serious and complex undertaking

What is the fallback if something does go wrong? Buying from a business with decades of experience and a track record of supporting customers provides for a lot of peace of mind that a warranty will be honoured and expertise is available when unforeseen challenges arise. 8. Not understanding that the same engine can be manufactured by multiple manufacturers Often, engine manufactures will share the research & development cost and production costs for engines through collaboration projects – for example the Mack MP8 and the Volvo D13 are the same engine with only a different rocker cover and inlet manifold, and are interchangeable in the vast majority of applications. There are dozens of examples of this across nearly all manufacturers. If you are looking for a replacement engine, you can often find an identical specification engine that has been built in the same factory with a different brand marking on that engine.

Tips and knowledge like this can save you time and money on sourcing the right replacement engine. 9. Not understanding the tax benefits available It is always worth speaking with your accountant when buying an engine to understand the tax benefits available from purchasing a new, used or rebuilt engine. If you are financing the engine for your business, the interest is often a deductible expense too. 10. Trying to import an engine yourself The internet has opened the door for people to try to self-import engines. We couldn’t tell you how often we hear of this ending in tears. We import literally hundreds of engines every year; and know firsthand it isn’t for the faint of heart. With our buying power and ongoing relations with suppliers, we are able to source engines globally and domestically, significantly cheaper than an

individual trying to buy an engine as a ‘one-off’. Pre-Covid, our expert buying team spent decades flying all over the world, sifting through yards, meeting and building relations with reputable suppliers to enable us to continue to reliably source the best engines in these times. As a do-it-yourself buyer trying to figure it all out, there are the added logistics (time and cost) of trying to ship an engine into Australia, pass through quarantine, and then what is your recourse when the engine turns up in Australia after waiting for months and it is either the wrong specification, has been damaged in transit, or doesn’t run properly? Is it all worth the time, effort and uncertainty when you can buy from a supplier such as Alldiesels Australia, with stock landed in Australia and tested, with warranty and a team of experts on the ground? 11. The cost of sitting on a decision and down-time One of the most costly mistakes we often see people making is simply sitting on a decision. Sure, if your engine has failed on you, no-one looks forward to the expenditure on the replacement, but it’s a part of business. If you have a piece of machinery sitting there, there is often a time lag between finding the right engine, getting that engine delivered and then installed, and getting the machinery or piece of equipment going again. That downtime can cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars for every day that they sit on their hands and don’t get things moving along. So making decisions and keeping things ticking along is often the less expensive way to go about it in the long run. Need a replacement diesel engine?

News Eaton has released more details on its Endurant XD

Eaton releases more details on Endurant XD Transmission-maker hails combination of capability, efficiency and maintenance advances Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies (ECATT) has released specifications for its new Endurant XD series and announced it will include Endurant XD and Endurant XD Pro models. The Endurant XD series is a purpose-built, high-performance automated transmission designed for on-highway applications with high gross-combined weight ratings (GCWRs), such as double and triple trailer trucks, and severe-duty on/ off-highway applications like dump and logging trucks. Series production will begin in the third calendar quarter but truck manufacturers are expected to announce its availability later. The Endurant XD series features a twin-countershaft design with helical gearing and large bearings optimised for higher engine torque. Eaton said a new 18D ratio set with a 20.5:1 overall ratio with small, even steps ensures smooth shifts and excellent performance in all driving conditions. The design is contained with internal wiring and sensors to minimise exposure and corrosion for improved reliability. Overall, its design is 102kg lighter than comparable UltraShift Plus models. A new, input shaft-driven power takeoff (PTO) system delivers power to an eight-bolt bottom mount and four-bolt rear mount that can operate independently of the transmission gear. The four-bolt rear mount features an external pressurised lube port

and a large center distance, making it an ideal alternative when there’s no room for a bottom mount PTO. Total combined PTO capacity is 160hp (119kW) or 610lb-ft (827Nm) of torque. Fuel and maintenance are two of the largest expenses for a trucking operation. To mitigate maintenance costs, Eaton said it had designed the Endurant XD series to be the most efficient, heavy-haul transmission it has produced yet. The design features a precision lubrication system for up to 2% better fuel economy than UltraShift Plus. Additionally, smart features such as new internal oil temperature and fluid pressure sensors help protect the transmission. Eaton says trucks operating below 49,900kg don’t require a transmission cooler, reducing the risk of cooler leaks. Maintenance costs are minimised thanks to long service intervals – up to 800,000km depending on vehicle application – which help keep the truck on the road and making money. New for the Endurant XD series are performance goals, which combine transmission shift points and clutch calibrations with unique software. This allows operators to easily tailor transmission performance to the demands of the job. Endurant XD is rated for engines with a maximum torque rating of 1,650 to 1,850lb-ft (2,237 to 2,508Nm) and is designed for on-highway applications up to 75-tonnes GCWR. “Endurant XD delivers a pleasant driving experience with improved

skip shift ability and smoother shifts compared to previous 13- and 18speed automated transmissions,” Ken Rocker, ECATT’s Endurant XD series product manager, said. Eaton says the Endurant XD Pro adds even more capability and unique features for severe service applications. It has an unlimited GCWR, best in class PTO functionality, and the longest maintenance intervals in its class. For long reversing distances and deep axle ratios, the Endurant XD Pro can be configured with up to six reverse gears. Endurant XD Pro can be paired with the most powerful engines, including the Cummins X15 series, with torque ratings from 1,650 to 2,050lb-ft (2,237 to 2,779Nm). Endurant XD Pro utilises Eaton’s Extreme Duty clutches, which feature robust components designed for increased durability, improved noise and vibration, in addition to higher thermal capacity for enhanced low-speed manoeuvrability. Unique software features to the Endurant XD Pro include Rock Free, which helps avoid getting stuck in sand, mud, or snow by using the accelerator to rock the vehicle free, and the Off-highway Performance Goal, which is an optimised calibration for operation on natural rolling terrain and soft soil. “Endurant XD Pro has the right mix of hardware and intelligence to give drivers more confidence in the most challenging applications such as construction, heavy haul, towing & recovery, and logging,” Rocker said. “No other automated transmission can match its combination of capability, efficiency and maintenance requirements.”

Spun off Iveco gains stronger focus: May Australian arm’s boss sees freedom and cohesion in move With January seeing the formal separation of Iveco from former parent company CNH Industrial, the trucks enterprise is looking to revel in its independence. Iveco Australia MD Michael May saw only positives from the move, for Iveco owners in Australia and New Zealand. “This spin-off will unify Iveco and provide the added freedom to further develop the brand’s potential as an exclusive on-highway business,” May said. “The change will also allow a more targeted management focus, which will assist in accelerating innovation goals and the rate at which new products are brought to market, while also responding more nimbly to customer requirements.” May said that, along with these goals, he was confident that Iveco owners would now also enjoy

enhanced levels of customer service and support. The group casts the move as giving it complete control of the way it manages itself and develops in the future.

Its brands will be spearheaded by the core Iveco and FPT (Fiat Powertrain) businesses, while sub brands Iveco Capital, Heuliez, Iveco Bus, Iveco Defence Vehicles, Astra and Magirus will also form an important part of the on-highway offering. “A key benefit of the spin-off will be Iveco’s renewed emphasis on better meeting the existing and future needs of on-highway customers, by taking a more targeted approach to their requirements. “Among these areas of interest is to further develop the group’s alternative fuels and propulsion capabilities. “Already a proven leader in low emission natural gas technologies including CNG and LNG, as well as electrification with the likes of the Daily Electric van, the Iveco Group’s new direction will also allow it to form closer ties with joint venture partners such as Nikola.” The two companies have been working together since 2019 and, in September last year, the partners unveiled details of their state-of-theart Ulm manufacturing facility in Germany, which recently completed the first of its new Nikola TRE battery electric trucks.

Isuzu and Cummins link for medium-duty BEV The Isuzu-Cummins powertrain partnership is starting to bear fruit with this medium-duty battery electric truck Cummins and Isuzu Motors Limited have agreed to create a prototype medium-duty, battery electric vehicle (BEV) to demonstrate in North America. The truck represents the first zero-emissions solution facilitated by the Isuzu Cummins Powertrain Partnership (ICPP) formed in May 2019. The plan is that Cummins will integrate the Cummins PowerDrive6000 into Isuzu’s F-Series truck and will pilot the truck with prominent North American fleets beginning in 2022. Following a successful demonstration and pilot phase, Isuzu will explore opportunities to commercialise mediumduty, battery-electric trucks with

Cummins-powered systems across North America. “We are excited to be working with Isuzu to accelerate decarbonization within the partnership,” Cummins VP and president of new power Amy Davis said. “It’s through our joint commitment in innovation that we provide our customers with safe, reliable zeroemissions solutions.” For Isuzu, the move is in line with its emissions-reduction strategy. “As addressed in Isuzu Environmental Vision 2050, we will advance global environmental actions including reducing greenhouse emissions and securing a prosperous and sustainable society,” Koichi Seto, director of the board and senior executive officer at Isuzu, said.

Equipment on hand It’s easy getting used to the WTP service At a time when markets are stretched and disruption has hit new vehicle and parts supply chains and the industry, thoughts naturally turn to other options. For much of the past two years, the used-truck sector has relished the challenge of providing viable solutions in times of shortages. In such conditions, there is no substitute for experience and Western Sydney firm WTP Pty Ltd has it in abundance. Ray Wehbe has been in the heavy vehicle motor industry for more than 35 years and first established WTP in 1998. Ray, together with his son, Anthony, and their qualified staff, aim to supply trucks and trailers to suit each customer’s needs and requirements. WTP Pty Ltd is a family operated business that thrives on customer satisfaction. “We try our best to satisfy our customers and to make them a part of our business,” Ray Wehbe says. “Our goal is to sell an extensive range of used trucks and trailers and to modify these according to the customer’s requirements. “We also have a large range of spare parts.” And just on parts, the company’s premises, at 24 Coombes Drive, Penrith, is a veritable treasure trove of all a truck fleet could desire. From bumper bars and fuel bars on the outside to seats and Fuller and Eaton gearboxes on the inside, and much else besides, including tipper and tautline bodies, there is a great range to be found there.

Scania unveils OnScene vehicle assistance app Aim is to keep drivers and technicians safe at the roadside Scania Australia has launched its OnScene application with a view to facilitating safety during roadside assistance operations. The truckmaker underlines that the app provides a start-to-finish health and safety guide, in real time, that not only provides protection for technicians but allows greater transparency for operators and vehicle owners, understanding the cause and nature of the problem as well as the solution to getting the vehicle back into service. It requires the technician to undertake a risk assessment before starting work on the vehicle, to ensure they are not putting themselves in undue danger at the side of the road, at night or in times of poor visibility. “We operate a team of dedicated and experienced, highly-skilled Scania Assistance technicians from our eight company-owned branches located in capital cities who are able to use the Scania OnScene App, but we have also shared it with our independent authorised dealers who also operate roadside assistance vehicles,” Scania Australia national

network development manager Frances Sotogi said. “The app collects significant amounts of information regarding each call-out, from identifying the vehicle, driver, owner, location, and the reason for the call. “The Scania OnScene App maps the prospective journey, notes the time and distance involved and enables Scania Assistance to remotely monitor the technician’s progress on route, throughout the repair and the return to base or home, ensuring their safety. “The technician fills in his starting location and destination and checks

in when arriving at the scene. They perform a risk assessment to determine if it is safe to work on the vehicle in-situ or if it needs to be towed to a workshop. The vehicle’s identity is confirmed, and the technician performs an initial diagnosis to determine if it can be repaired with the tools or parts on hand. “When the repair is completed, the technician confirms this within the app and communication is despatched to all parties. “Photos may be uploaded to app, identifying damage or the failed components. The call-out is completed when the technician confirms he has returned safely back to base or his home. “At the end of the call-out incident there is a complete record of all the work undertaken already saved digitally, which reduces the amount of post-recovery work and formfilling the technician needs to do before returning home or to the branch or dealership.”

Electric Volvos in for the longer haul Volvo Trucks in the US has launched a new version of its VNR electric truck with a longer range Volvo Trucks has launched an enhanced version of its Volvo VNR Electric with up to 85% increased range and faster charging. The Volvo VNR Electric is one of Volvo Trucks six all-electric heavy truck models and is specially designed for the North American market. The first generation of Volvo VNR Electric had an operating range of up to 240km. Now an enhanced version of the Class 8 electric truck is launched, with an estimated operational range of up to 440km and increased energy storage of up to 565kWh. Volvo Trucks explains that the improved performance is due to, among other things, improved battery design and a new six-battery package option. The new Volvo VNR Electric is also said to reduce the required charging time, as the 250kW charging

capability provides an 80 per cent charge in 90 minutes for the sixbattery package, and 60 minutes for the four-battery version. “It is a testament to Volvo Trucks’ leadership in a continuously evolving industry that we are bringing the enhanced version of our VNR Electric to the market only a year after sales of the VNR Electric first started,” Volvo Trucks North America president Peter Voorhoeve said. Voorhoeve is also a former president of Volvo Group Australia. Production of the enhanced Volvo VNR Electric will start during the second quarter this year in the company’s New River Valley plant in Virginia, which is the exclusive producer of all Volvo trucks in North America. Globally, Volvo Trucks has set a target that half of all of its trucks sold will be electric by 2030. “We are determined to lead the

transformation of the transport industry. In only eight years’ time, our goal is that half of our global truck sales are electric,” says Roger Alm, president of Volvo Trucks. “The interest among customers is high, and it’s quickly becoming a competitive advantage for transporters to be able to offer electric, sustainable transports. That is very encouraging.” Volvo Trucks points out that it started serial production of electric trucks in 2019, as one of the very first truck brands in the world. The product range now includes six electric truck models – the Volvo FH, Volvo FM, Volvo FMX, Volvo FE, Volvo FL and the Volvo VNR.

Scania Australia is at the peak of its powers, literally and physically. Never before in its 50-year history in this country has the Swedish maker been stronger or had more to offer, including the recent deployment of the R770, the world’s most powerful production truck. In this short sample behind the wheel, we find a gentle giant equipped with road manners every bit as impressive as the mountainous muscle 99

s 2021 drew to a close, sales numbers were looking exceptionally good for Scania Australia. The strong likelihood was that it would be another record result, eclipsing the previous best performance of 1,140 deliveries achieved just two years earlier.

With plenty of grunt underneath, exceptional build quality and a highly intuitive powertrain, there are few better places to work than inside Scania’s R770. The only drawback is the bunk but there’s a big improvement on the way

It wasn’t to be, though. Not quite! A poor month in December took a sliver of gloss off an otherwise strong year, with Truck Industry Council (TIC) figures showing Scania finishing 2021 with 1,129 deliveries for 8.7% of the total heavy-duty truck market. Agonisingly, just 11 units shy of the brand’s best ever result but, given all the problematic pandemic-related issues, still an undeniably positive performance in a year of continuing challenges. Or so you’d think. Despite the brand’s resilience after the Covid-constrained results of 2020, there are those in Scania Australia who justifiably assert last year’s result could have, and indeed should have, been better. Significantly better, and it’s easy to appreciate their reasons for feeling a tad frustrated by 2021’s figures, even if those same numbers a few years ago would have had company insiders happier than a flea at a dog show. So, why the subdued smiles after such

a strong result? Well, there are several contributing factors but perhaps the most fundamental is that the Australian heavyduty truck market is running hot and demand for new trucks (bolstered by a federal government instant asset write-off scheme) is dramatically greater than supply, meaning it’s much easier to take orders for new trucks than it is to actually deliver them. Scania, of course, is not alone in its frustration as many makes endure production shortfalls keeping a brake on potential. Nonetheless, the supply issue should not come as a complete surprise to anyone, least of all Scania Australia insiders. After all, incumbent managing director Mikael Jansson had expressed those same issues during a remarkably candid interview a year earlier. Citing a strong order bank despite intermittent flows through supply channels, a forthright Jansson said the issues are two-fold: “One is the shortage of semiconductors [essentially, the micro components of the electronic control systems at the heart of almost every automotive product in the world today]. That is a global problem but how much it will impact us is somewhat unknown, but it is a big challenge for everyone.”

New DEALS

The other supply challenge, he explained, is the ongoing high level of international demand for Scania’s NTG range, the New Truck Generation, which made its Australian debut in the front half of 2018. “So, it’s a fight to get capacity from production, but the ramp up to get higher volumes at the factory is impacted by suppliers in Europe who, in this Covid time, can’t ramp up at the pace we all want.” Therefore: “We will not get the supply this year [2021] that we want from Europe,” he predicted. Still, Jansson was quick to jump to the positives. “We have an order book now we have never seen before,” he said seriously, predicting a strong market for heavy-duty trucks in 2021 and potentially, another record year for Scania. “I’m confident we will get to 1,200 sales,” he enthused before cautiously adding a proviso. “The supply issue may stop us from reaching that figure but, from what we know

at this moment, we will deliver over 1,000 trucks. The order book is just so strong.” As the figures now confirm, the caution was warranted. Meantime, there are now strong hints that Scania’s order book for 2022 and even early ’23 are already at entirely new levels as acceptance of its NTG range and interest in new product initiatives continue to build. Punching ahead Yet, sales figures weren’t the only revelations forthcoming from Jansson in what was his first one-on-one interview since taking the reins at Scania Australia three years earlier. “We now have horsepower more in line with the competition and that will be good for us,” he said in reference to the addition last year of a 540hp [403kW] version of Scania’s sprightly 13-litre sixcylinder engine.” As he was eager to add, however, the introduction of a more muscled six-cylinder engine was just the tip of the performance

iceberg. As we’re now aware, there’s every chance the 540 will be superseded by a 560hp (418kW) version later this year, a development sure to give Scania a distinct performance advantage over its continental competitors in the 13-litre class. But, when it comes to bragging rights in the big bore business, a justifiably upbeat Jansson pointed to the upcoming local release of a vastly updated V8 range, headed by a 770hp (566kW) version of Scania’s seemingly indomitable 16.4-litre double banker, ending the reign of Volvo’s FH750 as the world’s most powerful production truck. As he explained, the plan was to have the first small batch of 770s arrive late in 2021 and, after being suitably prepared for a range of demonstration duties during 2022 – from heavy-duty roadtrain work with an initial gross combination mass (GCM) rating of 135 tonnes, and a standard 92-tonne GCM version for eastern applications – Scania’s

new flag-bearer will be later this year joined by 660hp (492kW) and 590hp (440kW) versions of the substantially revamped V8. Indeed, the order book for the 770 is already open. We can also confirm that peak torque outputs of the new Scania V8s are truly tenacious: At the top of the tree, the 770 has a chart-topping 3,700Nm (2,729lb-ft) of torque on tap from 1,000 to 1,450rpm, the 660 produces a prodigious 3,300Nm (2,434lb-ft) between 950 and 1,400rpm and the 590, a healthy 3,050Nm (2,250lb-ft) from 925 to 1,350rpm. It’s worth noting at this point that there’s also a 530hp (395kW) V8 rating available in Europe but with a 13-litre 560 on the agenda, there’s little scope and probably less interest in a lower-powered V8 for the Australian market. All three of Scania Australia’s new V8 ratings will be Euro 6 models but, at this

Powerful forces combine at less than 1,400rpm. The ability to hang on in the top few gears is extraordinary

stage, only the 660 and 590 will be coupled to an entirely new Opticruise 14-speed automated transmission designed to work more efficiently with the big bore V8. In its first form, the new box is known as the G33CM, designating 3,300Nm torque capacity and constant-mesh gearing. For now, though, and no doubt due to its mountainous torque output, the 770 will retain the inherent durability of the existing Opticruise GRS 14-speed overdrive shifter, which for a decade and more, has proved itself in Scania’s superseded 730hp model. Even so, there’s no question a beefed-up version the new Opticruise transmission will soon enough find its way into the biggest of Scania’s big bangers. Wisely, Scania Australia says it will continue to offer its popular Euro 5 620hp V8, mated to the new G33CM shifter. New transmission technology plays a big part in Scania’s plans to enhance both

performance and fuel efficiency of its V8 and six-cylinder line-ups, and while Opticruise has been the name given to the brand’s automated shifter since the early 1990s, company officials are quick to emphasise that this latest version is entirely new. Apart from continuing with a 12-speed plus two crawler gears format, Scania reports its latest Opticruise family has no parts in common with the existing design and employs a significantly wider ratio spread, which allows high-GCM applications to use faster rear axle ratios while still maintaining the required startability. It also offers a much wider range of reverse gear ratios. Said to be 60kg lighter, thanks to an all-aluminium housing, and with only two synchromesh gears – compared to seven in the existing GRS transmission – Scania says the move to constant-mesh makes its

Power play Temuka Transport’s superbly presented FH16 750 in New Zealand’s South Island, where the cooler climate is much more to the big Volvo’s liking

Mack Super-Liner on roadtrain work in Queensland. There’s speculation a 750 rating, and maybe more, is being considered for the bulldog flagship

Scania R730, pipped a decade ago by Volvo’s FH750 as the world’s most powerful production truck. But unlike the R730, Volvo’s biggest banger hasn’t coped with Australia’s heat

In the big scheme of things, trucks with 700hp (522kW) and more are a tiny portion of the global heavy-duty truck market. Even in our country, where there’s probably the greatest requirement and possibly the most justification for 700hpplus than any other region in the world, sales are scant. Nonetheless, Swedish giants Scania and Volvo have historically hammered each other for power primacy. Whether it’s driven by the desire for a marketing edge, or a haughty case of corporate idealism, or simply bragging rights as the maker of the world’s most powerful production truck, the pursuit of power has been for many decades a defining factor in each brand’s battle for supremacy. The Swedes are, after all, the only two truck makers in the world to offer models with 700hp and more, and as things stand at the moment, Scania’s new R770 has taken a comfortable lead over Volvo’s FH750 as king of the muscle men. The question now is: ‘Will Volvo keep the contest going?’ History and corporate pride say it will, eventually! But perhaps not in the form we might expect.

Volvo’s 16-litre FH750 displaced Scania’s former R730 as the world’s most powerful production truck a decade ago but, in Australia, Scania’s big banger at least made a name for itself in various applications, including several ultra-heavy roles. On the other hand, while Volvo’s 750 has been celebrated in Europe and attracted a small following in New Zealand, the model has barely rated a mention in our neck of the woods, due mainly to cooling issues at high gross weights in the hot and hostile environments where such extravagant outputs are usually destined to work. Consequently, the FH750’s capacity for heavy haulage work in Australia has been limited from the start, hamstrung by the protection of a ridiculously light gross combination mass (GCM) rating. Still, over the years, there have been a number of engineering attempts to make the 750 suitable for our heavy haulage conditions, including the fitment of a secondary radiator. But all to no avail, apparently. However, since the advent of Scania’s R770, there have been whispers of a renewed attempt to make the 16-litre 750 a viable member of Volvo Group Australia’s (VGA) stable. But this time around, there’s speculation that the most likely and practical recipient of the 750 rating will not be the Volvo FH, but Mack’s all-purpose Super-Liner. Whether that’s the case or not remains to be seen, but right now the whispers are certainly consistent that there’s more opportunity to keep the 750 cool under the snout of a Mack than the cab of a Volvo. Perhaps the bigger question, however, is if Volvo will be content to leave its big bore D16 engine at 750hp (559kW) or bravely push it to more than 770hp (574kW) simply to knock Scania off its perch. Whatever, the power play between these two Swedish giants is probably far from finished.

new boxes “shorter and sturdier, with shafts capable of handling more torque. This also enables the use of gears with slightly wider cogs that can handle more load and are more durable.” Meantime, Scania certainly isn’t retreating from the front line of diesel development despite a strongly stated intention to pursue a cleaner, greener future. As Alexander Vlaskamp, Scania’s executive vice-president and head of sales and marketing, said in a 2020 press statement announcing the new V8 strategy: “While shifting to fossil-free transport, we must do everything to improve our current solutions.” Or more to the point perhaps: “You cannot let you house burn down simply because a new one is under construction. The transition must be seamless.” Moreover, it’s a transition which means delving deeper into existing technologies where, according to Goran Lindh, chief engineer for Scania V8 engines: “There are no quantum leaps … it is all about refining things and adding to the latest technology.” There’s also far more to it than simply turning up the fuel wick. In the case of the 770 and its enhancements over the 730, Scania Australia product manager Ben Nye explained there has been a total revamp of the XPI fuel injection system with a new

high-pressure fuel pump, bigger injectors and compression ratio raised to 19:1. There’s also a fixed geometry turbocharger running on ball bearings as well as significant changes to manifolds and an selective catalytic reduction emissions and aftertreatment system totally free of exhaust gas recirculation input. There’s more, of course, including new engine management protocols and a truly notable influence in reduced internal friction, which was one of several impressive surprises during our short, but insightful, stint behind the wheel.

Standard on the R770 is a battery-powered integrated cab cooler sending fridge air through existing HVAC vents when the truck’s stationary

Road run Right now, we’re hoping and pushing for a much longer run in Scania’s R770 B-double demonstrator. A run, say, from Melbourne to Brisbane, and the reason for the request is to simply spend more time in the Swedish big banger to determine if the model’s exceptional muscle and road manners are as evident on a real world linehaul run as they most certainly were in a few short hours between Melbourne and Bendigo. Justifiably, all the talk at the moment is on the V8 flagship’s formidable grunt but the raw fact is that there’s far more to this truck than the burly block underneath. Typically, from the moment you climb in, certain things become blatantly obvious.

There’s far more to this truck than the

burly block underneath

There are few trucks in recent years that, in our estimation, have delivered such a positive impact in such a short exercise as Scania’s R770

First is the build quality, fit and finish of the modern Scania. First rate! Furthermore, Scania appears to have declined the trend to replace conventional gauges and switchgear with the digital screens and touchpads now in vogue with several of its continental competitors. For us more mature folk, it’s nice to see some things remain the same. That said, it takes a while to forge familiarity with the many buttons, switches and knobs controlling a vast array of functions but, obviously, time and travel eventually overcome any awkwardness. Time and travel do not, however, overcome our biggest bugbear in the form of the least desirable bunk in the premium cab-over class. However, it now appears a bunk befitting the quality of the truck and the needs of Australia’s linehaul drivers is on the horizon. It’s early days but sometime this year there’s the real likelihood an extended cab will be introduced here, adding a generous 300mm to the depth of the current structure and in the minds of some, ending a distinct deficiency in Scania’s suite of sweets. But there’s certainly no deficiency in performance and with Ben Nye sitting in the shotgun seat, the first R770 B-double in the country, with just 1,700km on the clock, was

poked into Melbourne’s mid-morning bustle weighing in at 62.1 tonnes. Driving through the overdrive (0.8:1) top gear and a relatively tall 3.07:1 rear axle ratio, the big Swede was quick to show an easy willingness to hold 100km/h around 1,250rpm. And, verifying Scania’s claim of reduced friction, the truck revealed an unusually slick propensity to roll freely in gear when the foot came off the throttle. Yet, even with such potent performance on tap, it would be a mistake to think the R770 expresses itself with dashing displays of brute force or bold ferocity. It is, in fact, quite the opposite, delivering deep reserves of resolve with a metered smoothness and seemingly sympathetic appreciation for the running gear putting such potent performance on the ground. As was the case with the superseded 730, the 770’s hill-crunching torque peak is only available in 10th to 12th gears, delivering a remarkable capacity to maintain relatively high cruise speeds on long grades. Still, even when a hill demands a deeper gear, there’s nothing at all timid about 3,500Nm (2,583lbft) of torque being dispensed from 1,000 to 1,450rpm all the way from crawler cog through to 9th gear. Meanwhile, peak power comes on stream at 1,900rpm and while that’s far from a

106

DOW 476-098-107 ND Scania 770 READY TO PRINT.indd 106

3/2/2022 1:27 pm

New DEALS

fuel-conscious engine speed, it’s when the torque and power graphs are overlaid that the R770’s potential for an unmatched mix of performance and fuel efficiency become blatantly evident. Where the lines cross at a twitch under 1,400rpm, the big bore V8 is still pouring out almost 740hp and close to 3,600Nm (2,655lb-ft) of torque, figures which are hugely formidable in any estimation. What this means, obviously enough, is that there’s a fountain of fight right where it counts on the fuel front. At the end of the day, the on-board trip computer revealed a figure of 1.75km/litre, or 4.93mpg. Either way, it’s a return which didn’t disappoint given such impressive strength from a new truck running at 62.1 tonnes on a route that varied from stuttering suburban traffic to flat freeway and long country grades. Again, though, we’re extremely keen to put the R770 to a longer test in linehaul work where fuel consumption, performance and a number of other factors can be more generally evaluated. Among those ‘other factors’ are the 770 model’s standard use of an airbag front suspension rated at 7,500kg and an electric steering system. In this short appraisal, both systems managed to quell previous experience that airbag front suspensions tend to be too soft, and electric steering systems

tend to be too reactive. In fact, the ride and road handling of the big Scania in this limited exercise were outstanding. Another standard feature on the R770 definitely worth mentioning is an integrated cab cooler, with Nye explaining that batteries are now in development, which will allow the system to operate fully for up to eight hours without the engine running. The cooler core is mounted behind the passenger side air deflector and, according to Nye, the unit plumbs fridge air directly through the cab’s HVAC vents to keep the cab cool when parked in high temperature areas. Critically, he adds that the integrated system deletes the need for cab ‘intrusions or adjustments’ to fit an aftermarket cab cooler. Obviously, brief drives in powerhouse new models such as the R770 are invariably impressive, but it takes time and toil to determine the real merit of any machine. Nonetheless, there are few trucks in recent years which in our estimation have delivered such a positive impact in such a short exercise as Scania’s R770. And sure, we’re confident the company will agree to a longer run as part of the model’s demonstration duties, but for now it’s a matter of ‘stay tuned’.

aryborough-based family business DJ and MA Hose started out like any other, but with a bit of a twist. The initials in the business name are David and wife Meryl Hose but the 55-year history of the enterprise actually began with Meryl’s father, Harry Hyde, who took on a young David, who ended up marrying into the family and business. It was thus rebranded Hyde and Hose before transitioning to the current trading name.

Chris Bull wipes off the last piece of dust, ready for the photo shoot. Chris is the driving force behind the W-Series story and is the son-in-law of the truck's owners, David and Meryl Hose

While David and Meryl are the proud owners of the truck you see on these pages, and proving that history can indeed repeat, it’s their son-in-law Chris Bull (also a part of the business) who’s basically been the foreman for the resto and is also tasked with the story of the truck along with the driving duties. With a history in landscape, demolition and house-removals, there’s always been plenty of work on for the family and the Hose’s W925 has seen it all. Going back to the mid-1980s, David and Meryl bought the Kenworth from concrete company Readymix from a plant down the back of Yatala in south-east Queensland. The truck was in the striking pink and white combo used by the company then, which many readers will surely remember. David made short work of the candy-stripe theme, though, after the truck arrived at its new home in Maryborough on the Fraser

Coast; painting the W925 in the Hose’s business colour of green and fitting it with a semi tipper. It was then worked within the local area as well as down to the NSW border and up to central and north Queensland. Being only the second owners of the Kenworth, the history of it is well known to the family, with the ups and downs of the truck now part of the family lore. After more than a decade hauling, the Kenny ended up on its side, tipper and all. With a big job in front of them, the Hose family decided to keep the W925 going with a full resto of the truck to make it even better than before. This is where Bull enters the picture. “When I started working for them in ’97, they’d just started the restoration and the truck was just two chassis rails sitting in the shed, but it was back on the road withinabout 12 months,” said Bull, proving that these guys don’t muck around. When the truck came from Readymix it sported an 8V71 GM donk but that was soon upgraded to an 8V92T unit before Bull joined the company. In the intervening years, the W925 featured three of those units supplying Detroit power to the rear treads. The following period of 20-plus years’ service in the business saw the W925

Back to work On December 13, 2019, it was pulled off the road for another resto, just before which Bull made the switch to the current powerplant in the form of an 8V92T DDECIII fuel injected electronic motor to replace the tired 8V92T. And, while the family had been known for not hanging around when it came to restoration timeframes, Covid threw a spanner in the works, with our photoshoot taking place only a couple of weeks after the W925 was registered and back on the road in November 2021. “It’s always been a working truck and it’s always been intended to work,” Bull said. “David and Meryl have always painted their trucks the company green colour but, with this one, we wanted to go a little bit further with the restoration for a bit of show

and a bit of advertising, and all that sort of stuff, y’know?” Bull added. To say that all involved in the restoration have met that target is an understatement. The W925 looks absolutely spectacular in the metal by day, and completely spectral at night with the haunting green lights littered around the underside, exhaust stacks, interior and engine bay, giving the rig an other-worldly presence on road. If there haven’t been reports of UFOs around Maryborough in the past, there will be now. “I’ve actually had cars and trucks passing

me on the double lanes with their phones out the window, taking photos and video of the truck as they go past, and people screaming at me how nice the old two-stroke sounds, it’s definitely got a note of its own!” Bull smiled. But it hasn’t been all smooth sailing since the truck has been restored, with Bull’s shakedown procedure for the big Kenny being to simply put it back into full-time service, which is always the quickest way to find any teething issues, but also means you might get stuck because of a small issue. “The other day, I went out to Mundubbera and the bastard bailed me up,” Bull said. “I had to get one of the other trucks to come out and we floated it home. It wouldn’t start, one of the battery shit itself and the computer didn’t have enough power to tell it what to do, so it just wouldn’t go.” And, while many of you might take this opportunity to spit out your coffee, praise the saints of mechanical injection and hold two screwdrivers in the shape of a cross to ward off the evil of computer-controlled fuel injection, the battery failing might have

something to do with our extravagantly-lit night photoshoot. Besides, the fuel savings Bull sees on the road (not to mention better tractability and throttle response) more than makes up for one flat battery. “We used to do a lot of runs to Ipswich and, compared to the old 8V92T, we used around 25 per cent less fuel with the DDEC on each trip,” he said. While being a lot more fuel efficient, the DDEC III also had a bit of a surprise waiting for Bull but, if it wasn’t for Bundy Diesel Specialists, things might have turned out very differently for the old W-Series. “Bundy Diesel built the DDEC up and they had it in their shop so, when the old engine shit itself again, they put this one to us as an option because we wanted to stay with the GM two-stroke because that’s what it’s always had and it wouldn’t be the same truck if it didn’t have a GM in it,” Bull said, adding: “We did price up at Cummins mechanicalinjection N14 but in the end it had to be a GM. “One good thing to come out of it breaking down was we had Bundy Diesel come down and put their computer on it to see what was wrong. We always thought it was a 480 horsepower engine but it’s not, it’s actually 540hp [403kW] so that was a pleasant bonus and would explain why I’m leaving other 500hp [373kW] trucks for dead. “Since we’ve put it back on the road, it hasn’t done huge kilometres but we are driving it. Overall, it’s been a pretty good truck, even

before the resto. Every truck has its problems, obviously, and we’re shaking it down and ironing all the issues out of it.” Neck snapper For regular road users, the shakedown period of the W925 has been an eye-opener according to Bull, who has exposed the rig to plenty of attention out on the open road. “You’ve only gotta drive her down to Brisbane to see all the other truck drivers snapping their necks to get a look at it,” he grinned. But all that effort to get the truck to where it is today wouldn’t have been possible without

the help of many pairs of hands along the way. When it came to the bodywork, Murray Coleman from Bundaberg was the man who completed the panel work, coming down to take the cab off the chassis with the firewall, floor and general body smoothing and straightening taken on by Murray in the Hose’s shed. Another hand involved in body work was one of Hose’s employees, Sterling Campbell, who painted most of the truck with the chassis and bonnet receiving special attention, and while Murray is also credited with some paintwork, the majority was handled by ‘Sterlo’. “Bundy Diesel went above and beyond to help us out. Lev’s fabrications, did all the stainless work for us, they did the grill, the tank wraps and made a fair bit of bracketry for the rear bars and stuff like that. The grille surround was done by hand out of stainless and the mesh was laser cut by Lev’s,” Chris said. Complementing the stunning paintwork is an equally impressive interior, with all work done by Jeff Sleep at Pacific Haven outside of Hervey Bay, who Chris holds in very high regard, saying Sleep’s been an upholsterer for “forever and a day around here” and is very well-known for his work in the classic-car restoration scene. Back outside, the polished bullbar sports a quad spotlight set-up comprising of four seven-inch [17.8cm] LED spots along with LED headlights and indicators as well as the 24 green LED lights stashed underneath the truck.

“You won’t find a single bulb in this truck, we went LED with everything,” Bull said, adding: “I wanted it to stand out so people recognise whose truck it was, which company owned it. I made sure it stands out day and night with its green paint and lights.” Continuing on the exterior, if it isn’t green it’s chrome, with six-inch (15cm) bullhorn exhaust tips, exhaust guards (which light up green at night) with the company name cut out, bullbar and visor all polished to perfection by Bull The rear deck on the back with the checker plate and toolboxes was already on the truck but was given a refresh and painted silver with the headboard colourmatched to the red chassis. Behind the headboard more polished stainless lurks with even more polished stainless on the guards and the chassis deck plate. This all flows around into the rear bar with the LED lights and the graphics on the rear guards (made by Klein Signs in Maryborough), which are a copy of the graphics on the side of the bonnet. So, what does the rest of the family think about how the Kenny turned out, and what lies ahead for this truck? “David and Meryl love it, of course, but it’s the kids who adore it. They squabble over

who gets to go with dad as I can only take one at a time,” Bull smiled. “Every time they were at nan and pop’s, they wanted to go down to the shed to have a look at it while it was being restored and always wanted to see photos I took of the truck during the restoration. “I wanna get it to as many shows as I can – Convoy for Kids, Lights on the Hill, all that sort of stuff – just to show it off and what we’ve done to it. It’d be a shame to do the truck and then not get it to any shows. “Over the next year or two I’d like to do as much as I can while it’s still looking fresh and new but, obviously, when it’s gotta pull a trailer, it’s gotta go to work. It’ll mainly float stuff for now, shifting diggers around. It’ll have a tipper on it every now and again and a flat top, and that sort of thing." They say envy is one of the seven deadly sins and, looking at David and Meryl’s Kenworth, we’re happy to be engaged in such sinful yearning. The way the W925 pops in the daylight thanks to that exquisite green paintjob and, when the sun goes down, its ethereal night- time presence, all of which is only made sweeter by the strains of that rev-happy Detroit Diesel echoing in the night. Sweet dreams are absolutely made of these.

Future

Born at a time when engineering curiosity wasn’t suffocated by unimaginative accountants, Ford’s Big Red experimental gas turbine truck blazed a path into a future that never came Words | Ben Dillon Images | Ford archives 121

P Crowds of suited men could possibly be employees at the Ford factory viewing Big Red before its debut at the 1964 World’s Fair

Getting into the high cab was made easy by a folding ladder that would automatically extend and retract to allow the drivers to enter the cabin

rogress. Besides being a ripper Midnight Oil song it’s an ideal praised and despised in equal measure because of the doubled-edged nature of this man-made concept. Progress in a transformative sense has given us every technological marvel we use today, including the internal combustion engine, but while these labour-saving devices have made our lives more convenient, the cost is only now being felt. Back in 1964, the phrase ‘climate change’ hadn’t been coined, and Ford, with its Big Red experimental truck (powered by an engine more at home in aviation circles than on the road), wanted to see what the future could look like when trucks and the relatively new technology of turbine engines were put together. To say the teams involved in the creation of Big Red were excited would be an understatement as it represented pure design and engineering freedom, and the Ford employees at the Blue Oval’s Dearborn, Michigan offices ran with it.

Coast to coast Arriving at a time when the US was opening super-efficient transport corridors in the form of thousands of miles of freeways running coast-to-coast and everywhere in between, Ford saw Big Red as being the future choice for customers wanting the ultimate load lugger capable of doing big distances quickly in relative comfort. The days of slow-moving trucks scaling mountain ranges and navigating squirrelly backroads to traverse North America was giving way to a new dawn of logistics promise that offered mostly flat, straight-shot journeys across the entire country. With this proliferation of US highways in the 1960s came the promise of rapid movement of freight nationwide and Ford took full advantage of this promise by creating one of the most ambitious and technologically advanced trucks of its time. The gas turbine engine at the heart of Big Red was the draw card of the project and was sourced internally from Ford, which had

Side view of Big Red shows the length of nearly 30-metres, making this longer than a modern B-double configuration. No wonder it was only allowed on certain roads that could handle its length, girth and weight

a US government contract to develop and provide a gas turbine engine to be used in military applications. Named the 705 (Ford’s gas turbine prototype models were numbered 701–707), this engine punched out 600hp (447kW) and 1,300Nm of twist at a 3,080rpm output shaft speed, a reduction gear was used of course with the operating revolutions of the engine topping out at 75,500rpm. While the power plant that propelled Big Red was wild enough to capture the imagination of the public at large, it was the gargantuan proportions and stylised design, especially on the inside, which captured the essence of what the ‘jet age’ was all about. With a massive space-age influenced cabin, Big Red offered features for the driver such as a fold-away toilet, kitchen with drink dispenser and food warmer along with a TV that could only be viewed by the co-driver; it was like a hotel on wheels. Behind the wheel, things were just as extraordinary, with a massive windscreen that went all the way to the driver’s ankles, offering a panoramic view of the road ahead

and a necessity to be able to see regular traffic. A Jetsons-like dashboard with round dials (along with a myriad of instruments mounted in the roof above the driver) told the story of Big Red on the road and were in keeping with the rest of the interior aesthetic. Debuting to astonished public stares at the 1964 World’s Fair in New York, Big Red captured a dream of future progress and innovation shared by many manufacturers in both light- and heavy-duty segments, with Chrysler’s famous turbine car appearing around the same time as Big Red and Chevrolet’s challenger to the turbine truck crown, the Turbo Titan III, coming soon after. Far from being a fragile and non-operable concept vehicle as is the norm today, Ford further teased its Big Red concept by strapping a pair of trailers to the truck (an early version of our now ubiquitous B-double) to create a near 30-metre long rig and drove the combination cross-country to promote the possibility of a turbinepropelled future. Coming in the same year that Ford released the Mustang, Big Red was a

Classic DEALS sensation and the promotional road trip, which took in such US cities as Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago and Los Angeles, only further served to burn an indelible impression of Blue Oval technological and styling prowess into the minds of all who saw it. As a promotional tool, Bid Red was a hit, but, as with all promo tools, retirement came quickly for Ford’s unicorn, which was followed by decades of languishing in obscurity with the whereabouts of the iconic truck only becoming public knowledge last year, decades after it was sold by performance parts peddlers Holman and Moody to a (very) private buyer sometime in the early 1980s. The come down Wild concepts from Detroit aren't anything new but, in 1964, Ford had already been pondering gas turbine drive systems for more than a decade and was keen to see the production of a vehicle with aviationinspired drivetrains alongside its internal combustion V8 offerings. The classic 'bent Henry' V8 was the money-maker in Ford sales, which now gave curious Ford engineers financial leeway to research future propulsion

possibilities. What is really staggering about the whole concept, however, is the speed of progress Ford made with its turbine technology. It puts into stark contrast the lack of equally ground-breaking technological innovations made in the near 60 years since Big Red first turned a wheel. Think about it. Big Red came along with technology only 20-years-old at the time of its creation (though the concept of turbines goes back centuries) with the turbine engine first seeing mass production for World War II planes. Despite not being able to adapt a gas turbine engine to the slog of pushing what is, aerodynamically at least, the equivalent of a giant brick through the air, it was a massively impressive feat that the Ford engineers pulled off at the time. Looking back on Big Red really poses the question that with all the modern smarts and engineering progress made since 1964, how has trucking evolved since the lumbering oil burners of the time when the Model T was rolling off Henry Ford’s snazzy invention called the production line? The answer is it hasn’t evolved. Progress has been made in some areas for sure, but game-changing propulsion units? Nothing, zero, zip.

Advertising guff hasn’t changed much in 60 years, with Ford spruiking its experimental truck as the solution to future transport needs. This promotional material shows the key features of Big Red exterior and interior including the ‘floating’ dashboard

The imposing stature of Big Red is most visible from the front, with the truck standing nearly four-metres high

But say Ford had chosen a turbine engine over a conventional reciprocating piston diesel engine; would that have been a better option? Probably not, as turbine engines have emissions issues (mostly large amounts of NOx) of their own to contend with, though have become comparatively cleaner over the last few decades. What the Big Red experiment highlights is that innovation, mechanical evolution, progress, whatever you want to call it, seems to go in fits and starts, as can be evidenced today as all the major truck companies around the world pour billions of dollars into research and development of alternative powertrains that will hopefully pave the way to a cleaner future. We are now on the cusp of a revolution in trucking that will see electric and hydrogen fuel-cell trucks take to the streets to deliver a clean transport solution much like Ford spruiked in its advertising materials on Big Red but with a bit more credibility. Ford said of the gas turbine engine advantages in Big Red that it “can travel with the speed of a passenger car on superhighways, is scarcely audible to the motorist, and releases clean, odorless [sic] exhaust 13 feet above traffic.” All this goes to show Ford knew back in the 1960s that innovation was the way forward – mechanical evolution if you will. Of course, there will be some people who think that diesel is the only answer and, sure, if you want to go back to a black and white TV be my guest, but just know that engineers love to solve a problem, and there is no bigger problem currently facing every sector of manufacturing than global warming. And while electric and hydrogen are the two future favourites, you can’t rule out hydrogen-fuelled internal combustion engines as a possibility, especially as German

engine manufacturer Deutz currently offers a six-cylinder hydrogen munching variant that will still make all the ‘vroom vroom’ noises which ICE enthusiasts crave. The jet age In the end, the question of what the world would look like today if Big Red had made the leap from proof of concept to production truck is moot. The gas turbine engine in a truck idea didn’t stack up back in the day as factors such as truck weight for certain US routes along with the heat generated by the engine, not to mention the US Clean Air Act of 1970, ruled the turbine engine out as a mainstream proposition for the 1960s and ’70s. But, lessons learnt by Ford from Big Red, especially in relation to ceramic coatings, are still used today. The story doesn’t end there, though. In fact, Ford continued to refine its gas turbine engine at an assembly plant in Toledo, Ohio where it produced a final iteration. Named the 707 it was a single-stage unit rated at a slightly lower 375hp (280kW) but said to be more fuel efficient than the 705 in Big Red. It presumably continued to service Ford’s military customers but also saw duty in several W-1000 series prime movers used to ferry freight for the automotive giant between its Toledo and Dearborn offices. A 707 is also said to be sitting in the engine bay of a fully-restored Big Red just waiting for the right time to emerge from decades in the shadows. While Big Red garnered the interest of the public with its space age styling and visionary utility, what resonates most from this 1964 concept is something we can all relate to nearly 60 years later as we move forward into a future where ‘alternative’ drivetrains will soon become the norm.

Mitch and Jess Kelly's discovery of their daughter’s rare condition inspired the couple to raise awareness of the illness through a detailed bright purple Kenworth T909 – one of the most stunning B-triples running out of Queensland’s Darling Downs

ho has heard of Rett Syndrome? Honestly, up until a couple of months ago I hadn’t. As ignorant as it sounds, I’d never been aware of it. In fairness there are a lot of debilitating illnesses that I’m completely unaware of. I’m sure I’m not the only one out there like that.

The big purple Kenworth T909 crosses over the top of the Warrego highway heading back to Kelly Transport's yard

Sometimes, we just need to be made aware of some of these medical afflictions because if the general public isn’t aware of these things, you can bet money that researchers aren’t getting the funding needed to study them. If studies aren’t being undertaken, then cures and medicines aren’t being discovered. So, what’s the best way to make the general public aware of something? Don’t you dare say TikTok! In the case of the Kelly family from Toowoomba, they opted to use their new T909 and B-triple unit to educate and make sure it would draw more stares than a mask-less man coughing in a supermarket. They painted it up a beautiful purple, had the trailers’ signs written and then featured the beautiful smile of their gorgeous little Georgia on the side. The sad reason behind using Georgia’s beautiful smile is that, at two-years-old, this wee girl was one of the few diagnosed with Rett Syndrome. Straight off the bat, the big T909 accomplished its task. It made me aware I knew nothing. It also made me do a bit of research. It forced me to learn about this

debilitating disease that can strike at random. Here’s what I learnt. Rett Syndrome is a rare genetic mutation affecting brain development, eventually leading to issues with physical movement, motor skills and speech. It affects almost exclusively females and can start showing up in babies anywhere from six- to 18-months-old. There are somewhere near 200 females in Australia who have been struck by this dreadful condition. While it is accepted that Rett Syndrome shortens lifespan, the mortality rates are still very uncertain. This is because of the disease’s rarity and the fact it depends on when the illness is identified and diagnosed. What is known is that life gets very challenging for those struck by the condition – and for the loved ones of those diagnosed. Once I had informed myself a little more about Rett Syndrome, my next task was to learn a little more about the big purple Kenworth and the team behind it. I’ll admit I was already familiar with the Kelly Transport name. An old workmate of mine works there and has nothing but glowing reports of the place. So, I made a couple of enquiries and managed to get some time with young Mitch Kelly, grandson of Kelly Transport founder John Kelly. He is also now managing the company while fitting in some driving in the aforementioned purple T909.

Mitch may only have had the reins of the company for a short time, but he has been indoctrinated in transport since he was old enough to crawl. Actually, I wouldn’t be surprised if he was cleaning trucks even before then. The company is a part of Toowoomba’s transport legacy and is due to celebrate its 50th year in 2024. As far as an origin story, the company started out of boredom. Mitch’s grandfather, John, had been a lifelong truckie. During the ’50s and ’60s, John racked up plenty of miles behind the wheel of a classic B-model Mack for Western Transport. When the ’70s rolled around he retired from the road to assist his wife, Patricia, as she opened up a small general store in Toowoomba. Just as an indication of the Kellys’ work ethic, Patricia opened the store in early 1971. For the next 40-plus years she was there every day, doing 15 hours a day, keeping the place ticking over. It took a broken hip to finally slow her down. That broken hip took a while to heal as Patricia ignored doctor’s orders and kept

working rather than resting. Rumour has it she broke it twice more before finally listening to her doc. There’s stubborn and then there’s ‘Nana stubborn’. Back on track I’m not sure if it was solely boredom that got John back behind the wheel or the mystical alure of diesel and dust (or maybe Patricia wanted John out of her hair) but, in 1974, John bought a truck to pick up all the supplies for the general store. Regular grocery runs to Brisbane in an old UD body truck soon escalated as John steadily picked up a few more customers. The next thing you know he’s got 15 bulldogs in the shed, doing groceries and carting Ansett freight all over Queensland. For the next 20 years, John ran the business before illness saw him take a step back. His son, Mitch’s father Keith Kelly, took over the reins. Like his father, Mitch had been brought up in the family business from a very young age, starting behind the wheel before he got an office chair.

Mitch has been in and around trucks since his crawling days. Here he is with his dad, Keith, and one of the company’s big Macks

When Keith was on the road, Mitch would take every opportunity to fill seat beside him. For Mitch that soon grew to taking any shot he could to take the preferred right-hand seat, be it to drive the trucks around the yard to fuel them up or help wash them. “I think I had my first go at a road train when I was about 12. Dad let me have a go on a farm out west,” Mitch recalled. However, his dad did not favour him joining the family business, trying to push him into other vocations after leaving school. “I did an accounting course when I left school,” Mitch explained. “But I didn’t enjoy it; I just had that calling to drive.” As adamant as he was that he wanted to be behind the wheel, his dad pushed hard to get him into something else. “It was always going to be driving, though,” Mitch informed me, recalling school days of drawing trucks and identifying them by sound as they rolled by the classroom. “I remember dad telling me: ‘Well, if you are going to drive then I’d better teach you to do it right.’” He adds that he appreciated having old schoolers like his dad and some other company drivers to ensure he learnt the skills properly.

Mitch is never left wanting when he's parked up; the big 909 has had a full Ice Pack Services makeover

Mitch did his apprenticeship with another local company as Kelly Transport didn’t have any rigids for him to operate. Like all of us that have experienced general freight for a rural company, the hours were longer than long – and the work left him sweaty and smelling worse than my attempts at eggplant parmigiana. When Mitch’s licence allowed it, he was back in the company colours. By this stage, Kelly Transport was away from the bulldog brand and had a much more Daimlerinfluenced fleet. The Freightliner badge became synonymous with the yellow, brown and white of the company colours. Kelly Transport had built up quite a fleet, with a lot of its work involved hauling contractors’ freight between Brisbane and Adelaide. There was still a bit of road train work but predominantly B-double work. Although he was family, there was no favours given to Mitch. He still had to work his way up and earn his stripes. “I remember one of my first trips in an old Argosy,” Mitch said. “The newer trucks had Viesas but mine didn’t. It was 43 degrees and I used one of the

old fella’s tricks – soak a towel in water and go to sleep with that over me.” Licensed at 19 and into linehaul as soon as he was allowed, Mitch was loving the driving life. His dad was in the big chair with the day-to-day organisation, his mum Christine kept the office running smoothly and Mitch’s wife, the very tolerant Jess, was also in the fold working payroll for Kelly Transport. Then, in 2016, in an attempt to give his mother some time off, Keith handed the reins to Mitch and went to work in the family shop. I don’t think Nan eased up at all, in fact it took that broken hip in 2019 to finally slow her down … a little. The change to management for Mitch brought its own adjustments, probably more so for Jess, who suddenly had to start sharing the TV remote and giving up room in the bed more than twice a week. Keith and Mitch’s aunt were still the company directors, it just meant Mitch was closer to a computer than a steering wheel. It did, however, give Mitch a little more say in the direction and focus of the fleet. “When I took over, I wrote myself a list of goals I wanted to achieve,” Mitch explained. “Number one was secure primary

New DEALS customers. I did that. We probably only had one or two; now we’d have maybe 20. “Number two, make sure we provide the best service. In order to do that we had to look after our drivers, give them a good work environment, pay them for getting stuffed around loading and that, and good equipment. Thirdly was trying to improve and modernise the fleet.” Creature comforts Back in 2016, Kelly was still predominantly Freightliner. However, once Mitch tried its first Kenworth he admitted: “I haven’t looked back since.” The fleet has almost doubled since Mitch hit the office, going from 11 trucks and 20-something trailers to 20 trucks and nearly 50 pieces of trailer equipment. Just over half the fleet now sport the Kenworth badge. With Mitch’s focus being on cost-effective trucks that look after the driver, it’s no surprise that the T610 features highly in the fleet. Its fuel efficiency, especially with long diffs across the flat road to Adelaide, mixed with the spacious cab and all the creature comforts they come specced with, make them an ideal truck. “We fit all the trucks with fridges, invertors,

microwaves, so the guys can look after themselves,” Mitch said. “We used to put TVs in but no one used them so we changed to more cupboards.” While work was never getting quieter, things at home were just as busy. Mitch’s step into the office was not long after Mitch and Jess had received a diagnosis for Georgia and things were still sinking in. It’s here Mitch points out how thankful he’s been for all the support he has had at work and at home. Running a growing business and dealing with a child suffering from a rare condition is a lot for anyone. Mitch and Jess married in 2012, which gave him his first taste of parenthood with Jess’ daughter, Amelia. Then, in 2013, Georgia joined their family. Georgia was a beautiful baby girl with a smile that could melt your heart. Like all of those affected by Rett Syndrome there are no immediate signs of the disease. It took six months before Mitch and Jess noted Georgia was struggling with sitting up, but it wasn’t a big deal. Mum and dad just spent extra time working with her until she seemed to get the hang of it. After 12 months, Jess mentioned to her doctor the concerns about Georgia’s struggles

to stand but she was reassured that it was quite normal. However, by 18 months, physical progress was still well behind schedule and Mitch and Jess started to really push their case. The doctors ran a plethora of tests. Cerebral palsy and autism were the go-to answers for the doctors, but Mitch and Jess weren’t convinced. “We knew it wasn’t autism, just by how social and interactive Georgia was,” Mitch said. In the end it was Mitch and Google that stumbled across some information and videos that shone a light on the idea it could be Rett Syndrome. “I saw this video and I just said, ‘that’s our Georgia, that’s it’,” Mitch said. When they approached their doctor he responded: “Don’t say that. Don’t even think it.” He knew the seriousness of the condition having recently diagnosed a girl of similar age to Georgia with it. After 25 years in the industry, that had been his first case. Now, with Georgia, he feared he may have a second. Testing for Rett at the time required a genetic test that is sent over to the US. Results can take up to six months, meaning Georgia was almost two when they finally arrived. Flagship rig I know this is a transport magazine, not a medical journal, but I believe this part of the

story needed to be told. As drivers, we can be isolated with our issues, be it personal or family-related, and that can mess with your head and emotions. We can all relate in some way to the toll it would have taken on Mitch and the family. Mitch admitted that without Jess and the support of his family, he doesn’t know how he would have got through it. Though having seen Georgia’s smile I am sure that played a huge part in keeping them all strong. Dealing with the diagnosis and finding how little awareness there was of the condition led Mitch and Jess to put the two biggest parts of their life together – family and trucking. This is where I need to point out this isn’t the only Rett Syndrome truck in the fleet. In 2017, Mitch purchased the flagship Freightliner from the Brisbane Truck Show. Freightliner had invested heavily in the truck and its pearl white paint scheme, which Mitch didn’t want to paint over. Instead, he had the tanks painted purple and had the Rett Syndrome signwriting over it, dedicating the truck to Georgia. “The thing is, I’d always wanted to do a full unit and dedicate the whole lot to raising awareness,” Mitch said. When a new unit was needed in 2021, rather than add to the T610 stables, Mitch decided it was time to go all-in on a Georgia unit and go big with a flagship T909. Mitch went to Vawdrey to get the

New DEALS combination behind the 909. He sat down with Shane Nichols and Paul Vawdrey to discuss his plan and let them in on his idea. “Without a blink of an eye, Paul Vawdrey was like: ‘I’m paying for the screen printing on the curtains, don’t worry about that.’” Mitch was blown away, but it didn’t stop there. When word got out, the generosity of our industry shone. Attards donated the trailer curtains. Steeline, one of Kelly’s major customers, also became involved, donating directly to the Rett Syndrome Association of Australia (www.rettaustralia.org.au). The actual design for the curtains comes from one of Attards’ creative geniuses, Courtney Hume. Courtney spent a lot of time coming up with a plan that incorporated everything Mitch wanted and allowing it to flow into the planned truck design as well. Mitch wanted to keep the same style as Kelly Transport’s other T909s, which is as identifiable as the company’s T610 scheme. The big difference was a lack of yellow and an abundance of purple. There are two other two companies that deserve a mention. Mitch credits the team at Brown & Hurley in Toowoomba for their service as one of the main reasons he keeps filling the fleet with the iconic Aussie brand.

For this special rig they also went above and beyond, with countless extra personal touches from simple things like added shiny bits to much more personal items like the custom seat covers. I must also mention the boys at Ice Pack Services, Toowoomba. When I did the interior photos I could not get over the quality of the finish. If the outside wasn’t enough for me to want to steal the keys, the interior threw me over the line. All the cabinetry, as well as fitting out all the extras, from the icepack to the microwave, was outstanding work. Not to be outdone with those touches, the Ice Pack Services team surprised Mitch and Jess with a custom laser etched top for the slide-out table. It can be very hard sometimes to achieve a goal that is so close to your heart, recreating ideas and visions when there is so much emotion involved is difficult. Building a truck that needs to earn a living while raising awareness to help your own daughter, expectations would be extremely high. In the case of the Kelly Transport’s T909, though, I think all of those involved have absolutely nailed it. The truck is an easy 11 out of 10 and has already raised my awareness. I hope it does the same for you guys.

’ve never been much of a believer, in religion, destiny, fate or any of that kind of thing. Though, when you’re born with my looks and talents, it does seem obvious something out there has a sense of humour at least. However, the second weekend in December 2021 did get me questioning the whole divine intervention, written-inthe-stars kind of thing. I mean, November had rolled by with enough rain around for Noah to consider leasing out his arc, roads were closed all over inland NSW and the transport industry was busier than a swarm of dancing ants on honey-coated privates. Yet, come December 11, the Bathurst showgrounds were jam-packed with immaculate trucks, outstanding trailer

combinations, scores of on-lookers and not a single rain cloud, although a couple tried floating in just after lunch but fate issued them with a ‘not today, mate’ notices so they promptly took off. In the end, the Dane Ballinger Memorial Truck show got exactly what it deserved – and hundreds of truckies and truck fans got exactly what they have been waiting for. A top-notch truck show. For those that have never been to the Dane Ballinger Memorial Truck Show in the NSW town of Bathurst I can only advise you that you are missing out on an absolute treasure in the Australian truck show scene. I first went to Bathurst in 2019 and, after that initial experience, I swore I would be back every year. Sadly, 2020 was cancelled. I’m not sure of the exact details but it had something to do with a worldwide pandemic. Add in the emergence of more rules and regulations than you could wave a protective mask at and the 2021 show, originally scheduled for November 14, was postponed. It also looked like I’d miss this year’s show until, once again, the ‘fate’ thing that I’m being forced to accept intervened. It was announced that Queensland would be relaxing its border rules and I’d be able to get down to the show and, most importantly, make it home to watch Lego Masters on Monday night. There is nothing like cresting the pine hills and catching a glimpse of the beautiful Mount Panorama sign. Had it been a fortnight earlier the place would have been humming with the roar of Supercars and E85 racing fuel. When I arrived at the

The Friday night procession of trucks was definitely worth waiting for. Watching these immaculate trucks enter the staging area was priceless

Bathurst Showgrounds on the eve of the show, the town was buzzing with the sound of X15s and the smell of diesel fuel. I’m man enough to admit it brought a tear to my eye. It was good to be back. There are several things that make this truck show in Bathurst unique. There’s the fact it’s run alongside a full-scale fair and markets. Meaning, if you do need to rest your eyes from the glare of unending chrome and stainless, you can head over to the festivities and fill up on Pluto Pups and Nana’s knitted tea cosies.

Trailers welcome Another unique aspect, one that really resonates with the North American-style truck beauty contests, is the fact that trailers are a welcome part of the show. In the US it’s standard to have your trailer at a show whereas here in Oz it doesn’t happen often. Obviously, that’s got a lot to do with the room allotted for the show – a full B-double takes up a fair bit of room. However, it does make for a spectacular sight. There are a lot of owners and drivers who take pride in their whole ride, from front bar to the rear mudflaps. It really is impressive to see the attention to detail in a full unit. Finally, the other thing unique to the Bathurst Truck Show is the fact they actually start parking the rigs up on the Friday night before the event. Meaning ‘truckarazzi’ like myself, who get into town thinking I’ll catch all the trucks coming in on Saturday, get a little hamstrung when they suddenly pass a jaw-dropping fleet heading towards the

Forget checking into the motel, I pulled a 180 like I was auditioning for Fast & Furious 23, put the high ride height of the rental car to full use by bouncing over the small entrance fence and tore into the showgrounds like there was 50 per cent off bourbon at Dan Murphy’s. (In case anyone here works for Hertz, that whole paragraph was fictional. I would never treat a rental car like that, true story.) In memoriam The first trucks into the ground belonged to Dean Campbell Transport. The Campbell family, along with the Ballinger family, play a huge role in the Dane Ballinger Memorial Truck Show’s success. Dean and Dane were the guys that started the show a few years ago. When the industry lost Dane back in 2019 it would have been easy to let the show fall by the wayside. Instead, Dane’s family, along with the Campbells and plenty of help from names like Justin Kloss and Jamie Woods, went onwards with the show, renaming it the Dane Ballinger Memorial Truck Show. It’s often said, ‘It’s not the quantity, it’s the quality that matters’. Well, 2021 saw the

Bathurst show cover both bases. Around 150 trucks were preregistered. The judges were notably distraught and drained by the end of the day due to the quality. A judge’s job is never easy, doubly so in Bathurst. There is a huge list of winners that came out of the show, from makes and years, to trailers and combinations. The two top awards every year are, firstly, the Rig of The Show, which went to Flowers Freightlines with its 1997 Kenworth T950. The judges noted the condition of this 24-year-old working girl and were extremely impressed. It also picked up Best Working Truck 1996–2005. The other trophy that’s extremely highly valued by all entrants is Sam’s Choice. This one is handed out by Dane’s eldest son Sam – it’s his favourite. This year, Sam handed the prize over to Jeremy Inverno, who, along with his dad Peppi, had brought their T900 Legend, the 2020 OwnerDriver Truck of the Year winner, to the show for the first time. Well, best I sign off and go upload these photos. There’s plenty for you all to drool over. Just make sure you follow my advice, though, and get your truck, your cameras or just yourself to the 2022 Dane Ballinger Memorial Truck Show. You will not regret it.

C Big things are expected of Hino in 2022 with its new 700-series heavy duty models

harles Dickens said it best in his 19th century classic A Tale of Two Cities: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” Absolutely, and it’s a fair bet that more than a couple of corporate leaders might now be thinking along those exact lines. Take Paccar Australia boss Andrew Hadjikakou, for example. A few months back, he willingly acknowledged that with Covid constraints unrelenting, 2021 was proving to be tougher than the year before. On the other hand, as the Truck Industry Council’s (TIC) end-of-year figures attest, Kenworth’s domination of the heavy-duty class in 2021 was not only vastly more entrenched, but tantalisingly close to surpassing the brand’s best-ever result achieved in the phenomenally strong market of 2018. In fact, so strong was the national demand for new trucks on the back of an essential freight sector and government financial incentives that, according to a TIC statement, “the overall tally for 2021 fell a mere 225 trucks short of a new Australian heavy vehicle sales record”. Oh, so close! That sales record is still held by 2018. Easily topping the heavy-duty chart, Kenworth in 2021 rolled 2,838 trucks down the Bayswater (Vic) production line for a commanding 21.8% of a total heavy-duty category that saw a buoyant and altogether surprising 12,999 units delivered.

By comparison, 2020 saw slightly more than 10,600 new heavy-duty trucks enter the market. However, Paccar Australia’s stellar performance didn’t end there. Corporate colleague DAF set a new record for the brand with 682 new trucks delivered, accounting for 5.2% of the Australian heavy-duty category and in the process, giving Paccar Australia its greatest-ever sales figures. Consequently, Paccar won the corporate contest hands down with Kenworth and DAF combining to take 27% of the total heavy-duty market, significantly ahead of the Volvo Group Australia (VGA) triumvirate on 22% and an ambitious Daimler Trucks trio on 17.2%. In the big picture, though, the truly big player was once again Isuzu, adding another notch on a belt that now carries more than three decades of consecutive leadership of the total Australian truck market. In the heavy-duty category, only Kenworth and Volvo were ahead of Isuzu’s 11.7% stake but it was, of course, in its historic leadership of medium- and light-duty sectors where the Japanese brand’s greatest numbers were gathered, taking 41.5 and 39%, respectively. All up, Isuzu delivered 10,175 trucks in 2021, notably better than even its record-breaking effort in the bumper year of 2018. Quite simply, the resilience and acceptance of this brand are nothing short of ‘epic’, and as hard as they might try with high quality

models, Hino’s and Fuso’s chances of catching and then overtaking their Japanese competitor continue to seem as distant as partisan politics. In a total 2021 truck market – including heavy vans – of 41,404 units, almost one in four new vehicles was an Isuzu. True to form, Hino finished second in the overall sales race and Fuso third, with both brands also achieving exceptionally strong sales last year. It was, however, the congested heavy-duty market where the ability of some brands to withstand the challenges of 2021 far better than others, was most evident. Supply issues As almost every industry can vouch, Covid has had a dramatic impact on supply routes from overseas and truck brands, whether fully imported or manufactured locally, certainly haven’t been excluded from component shortages which continue to baulk production both here and overseas. Additionally, truck demand is globally strong, meaning some fully imported brands must battle hard for production slots to avoid losing customers to increasingly stretched delivery schedules. Still, it’s an issue not confined to importers alone. Most truck brands are reporting extremely strong order banks for 2022 and even well into 2023, but as one senior executive with a major heavy-duty brand recently exclaimed: “Right now, it’s a lot easier to take an order for

a new truck than it is to actually deliver a new truck.” Moreover, as the representative body for Australia’s truck and component suppliers, the TIC concedes “the road ahead is neither clear nor certain [and] domestic and global supply chain issues look to be the greatest threat to new truck and van supply over the next 24 months. This situation will not be resolved quickly.” Even so, as 2021’s heavy-duty figures assert on the strength of some brands achieving significant gains while others appeared to languish, supply issues are perhaps becoming an increasingly thin excuse for lost opportunity and long delays. Holding onto its perennial bridesmaid’s berth behind heavy-duty supremo Kenworth, Volvo struggled in 2021 and despite notably stronger market demand than the year before, the Swedish powerhouse was unable to make the most of considerable potential. All up, Volvo delivered 1,683 new trucks in 2021 for a comparatively lacklustre 12.9% of the heavy-duty business. It was a far cry from the 16.4% achieved in 2020 on the delivery of 1,740 trucks. But if Volvo’s figures were less than enthralling, corporate colleague Mack’s numbers were absolutely dismal. In what was arguably the bulldog breed’s worst performance in living memory, Mack accounted for a meagre 4.4% of the heavyduty sector, delivering just 566 units. By

comparison, in the sizeably smaller market of 2020, the famous brand delivered 705 trucks for 6.6% of the market. Volvo and Mack are, of course, produced at VGA’s Wacol (Brisbane) production plant and their mediocre performances in 2021 are perhaps made even more disturbing for company principals by the fact that both brands promoted new models through the year – Volvo’s new FH and FM range and Mack’s Anthem – seemingly with little effect. There was, however, a distinctly bright light for VGA in 2021 with the fully imported and much respected UD brand notching a record year with 611 units for a 4.7% stake of the heavy-duty class, plus another 166 deliveries in the medium-duty sector. Yet, given its historically fierce competitive streak, there’s little doubt Volvo will kick back. Hard! It won’t be easy, though, with arch-rivals Mercedes-Benz and Scania making the most of opportunities and digging deep into Volvo accounts. They will not give up their gains without a vicious fight. On the strength of reports citing good fuel economy, potent performance and a suite of advanced safety features, Mercedes-Benz has been growing in prominence over a number of years and, as 2021 drew to a close, it was apparent this would be something of a milestone year for the brand. Finishing fourth on the heavy-duty ladder with 9.4% of the class, Mercedes-Benz was quick to broadcast a record achievement for

the brand, setting “a new high mark of 1,290 [a figure which included 72 deliveries in the medium-duty sector], breaking the previous record of 1,189”. “Sales were so strong that Mercedes-Benz passed the milestone with one month to spare,” a company statement reported. Critically, the statement added: “The striking result came despite supply disruptions that took some heat out of sales in the last few months of the year.” The Benz figures were, however, just one part of a bountiful year for corporate master, Daimler Truck and Bus Australia. Dominating the numbers was Japanese cohort Fuso, setting an all-time sales record for the brand on the delivery of 4,770 trucks across light-, medium- and heavy-duty categories to cap off a year of important new model introductions which included the electric eCanter and new 360 (268kW) and 510hp (380kW) versions of the flagship Shogun range. According to a bold company claim: “Fuso not only posted its best-ever new truck sales in Australia, but was also the fastest growing truck manufacturer in the Australian market last year [and] increased its share in light-, medium- and heavy-duty market segments.” The other high-profile member of the Daimler trio is obviously Freightliner but, with just 439 deliveries and a modest 3.4% of the heavy-duty category in 2021, the new Cascadia conventional has some way to go

Dismal days for the bulldog: Mack’s performance in 2021 was arguably the worst in living memory

Western Star picked up pace in 2021 but it’s still a long way from the prePenske glory days. New models are one the way

before realising the sales figures its advocates are hoping for. Sure, it’s still early days, but 2022 could be a telling time for Cascadia in Australia and numbers will need to grow markedly for the model to meet ambitious corporate goals. Finishing fifth in the overall heavy-duty arena, Scania’s rise in recent years was further strengthened in 2021 with a respectable performance which delivered 1,129 units for an 8.7% stake in the category. Nonetheless, senior insiders at Scania Australia have expressed disappointment that the brand’s true potential fell short of expectations. After strong gains throughout the year, the last month of 2021 was particularly frustrating as solid demand outstripped supply, causing the brand to fall an agonising 12 trucks short of recording its best-ever figures in Australia. Even so, Scania is on a roll like never before and with bold new models on the way, competitors will find it hard to keep ‘the other Swede’ at bay. Easily the best of the heavy-duty ‘also rans’ was Toyota’s Hino with 583 units and 4.5% of the sector. Bigger things are expected this year with an impressive range of 700-series heavy-duty models starting to hit the market in increasing numbers. In the overall market though, Hino, is an established major player, ranking second only to Isuzu. Admittedly, with a collective figure of 6,251 deliveries and 15.1% of the total truck market in 2021, Hino is a long way behind the entrenched market leader but at least maintains a healthy buffer ahead of thirdplaced Fuso.

As always, the ongoing contest between the market’s two biggest placegetters will be intriguing. Back of the pack Moving down the heavy-duty chart, pickings were slim for the cellar dwellers but undeniably better for a few. Western Star, for instance, had a notably better year in 2021, with 373 deliveries giving it 2.9% of the heavy-duty class. The numbers aren’t great but they’re certainly a healthy jump on 2020’s drab figures of 228 deliveries and 2.1%. What’s more, there’s some expectation that 2022 could be a year of improved substance for Western Star as the brand’s local leaders plan for the launch, either late this year or early next, of the new 47X and 49X models developed by Daimler Trucks North America. There’s also speculation that, ultimately, Western Star’s local business may find its way back into the Daimler fold as Roger Penske’s Australian operations appear to recede. Time will tell, but there’s no question Western Star’s performance has waned dramatically since the American mogul took control almost a decade ago and that fact certainly hasn’t gone unnoticed in the US. The other brand operating under the Penske banner is MAN and like Western Star, the German truck did better in 2021. All up, MAN delivered 387 trucks last year, with 309 heavy-duty units giving it 2.4% of the market. Rounding out the Penske trio is waste industry specialist Denis Eagle which, with 108 units for the year – and no doubt

New DEALS capitalising to some extent on the waning influence of Iveco’s ACCO – more than doubled its 2020 numbers. As for Iveco, its performance in 2021 provides a graphic insight into the dynamics of a brand undergoing evolutionary change, apparently morphing from its heavy- and medium-duty roots into a light-duty specialist. In addition to announcing at the close of last year that 2022 will see the end of truck production at the Dandenong (Vic) factory, which has built trucks since 1952, Iveco last year lost considerable ground in both heavyand medium-duty segments but at least picked up business in the light-duty and van categories. Even so, the brand delivered fewer vehicles in 2021 than the year before. Meantime, Korean hopeful Hyundai picked up sales in every category in 2021. Sure, the numbers weren’t great, and the bulk of the business was in the burgeoning light-duty class, but, in 2021, Hyundai delivered a total of 232 units compared to 135 the year before. Finally, in a somewhat forlorn finale, International was at the tail of the field with 24 units, marking the end of the line for the brand’s Australian venture. Given the pending demise of the Dandenong plant, it is indeed the end of the line for a brand that was once a household name in Australia.

The International venture finally came to a close in 2021. Ironically, the same year the end of production at the Dandenong (Vic) manufacturing plant was announced

In a troubled year for Volvo Group Australia, UD was a standout performer

Power move Kohler Co. acquires Curtis Instruments and Heila Technologies Woolworths’ new Sydney DC will begin operation in 2025

Top pick Woolworths selects Vanderlande’s Storepick solution for its new Sydney distribution centre Vanderlande has signed a new contract with Australia’s largest food and grocery retailer, Woolworths, to deliver Storepick, a robotised, end-to-end automated case picking (ACP) warehouse solution. The system will be installed in a new distribution centre (DC) in Moorebank Logistics Park in Sydney and will supply over 200 stores in New South Wales from 2025. Woolworths Group’s supply chain arm, Primary Connect, will build and operate the state-of-the-art DC, with the aim of enhancing customer shopping experiences, as well as improving efficiency in stores. Storepick allows for the optimisation of all processes in the entire value chain. Storepick has been designed using the latest technologies in material handling, including the Vanderlande Adapto shuttle system with flexible in-rack shuttles, free-roaming automated guiding vehicles, intelligent robots for case picking and goodsto-picker workstations. “The facility will transform the way we serve our New South Wales stores, strengthen our network, and deliver on our ambition to create Australia’s best food and grocery supply chain,” Primary Connect managing director and Woolworths chief supply chain officer Paul Graham says. “We will be able to carry up to 8,000 additional products, which will help in unlocking a much better shopping experience for our customers. To keep pace with growing demand and everevolving customer expectations, we need to continue to invest in new technology and capacity to power our next-generation supply chain.” Vanderlande’s managing director warehousing solutions for Australia and New Zealand Roald de Groot adds: “We are extremely proud to provide Woolworths with this state-of-the-art fully automated solution and are keen to further build on this established partnership in the future.”

US-based engine and generator manufacturer Kohler Co has signed a deal for its power group to acquire two companies to expand its electrification and clean energy reach. Curtis Instruments, headquartered in Mount Kisco, New York and distributed in Australia through Beresfield, NSW-based Bylong Industries, provides a range of electrical control system to OEMs across a broad range of markets including material handling, mobile elevated work platforms, construction, agriculture, turfcare, marine and select on-road segments. Curtis’ product portfolio spans motor speed controllers, human-machine interfaces and instrumentation, power conversion, CAN modules and other accessories, as well as advanced software solutions. “We’re excited to welcome Curtis Instruments to our Kohler Power organisation,” Kohler group president – power Brian Melka says. “For more than 100 years, Kohler has

Curtis Instruments produces products for transport and industrial vehicles and other industrial equipment

been a preferred source of power for homes, businesses, and equipment, and integrating the Kohler and Curtis product portfolios and existing OEM relationships will create substantial growth opportunities for both brands.” Curtis Instruments president Stuart Marwell says his company is also excited for the acquisition. “We were drawn to Kohler because of its nearly 150-year history of strong family leadership and innovation, as well as its commitment to embracing the growing shift to electrification and hybridisation,” he says. “We are excited to help lead this next chapter for Kohler. Kohler and Curtis brands both stand for quality, innovation and commitment to long-term customer success.” Kohler has also recently acquired Heila Technologies – a US microgrid software controls company – and created a separate Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS) business unit focused on residential energy storage.

Liftsmart straddle leg manual stacker

Charity work Adaptalift’s donation of two pallet jacks is helping keep needy families on their feet in regional Victoria Volunteers for Gippsland Farmer Relief can avoid challenging manual tasks thanks to a recent donation by forklift and work platforms provider Adaptalift Group. GFR is a rural Victorian charity that acts as a gateway service assisting farmers to access welfare and support services. The charity provided regular monthly deliveries of food staples to farming families across Gippsland from its Traralagon distribution centre during Victoria’s COVID-19 lockdowns last year.

Adaptalift donated a brand new electric pallet jack and manual pallet stacker to GFR to help it improve safety and efficiency when moving heavy pallets of hampers. The new Liftsmart PT15-2 electric pallet jack now allows a single volunteer to safely pick-up and transport fully loaded pallets of hampers around the distribution centre or out to delivery vans for loading compared to the charity’s old process of manual handling with up to three people involved in moving hampers. The new Liftsmart straddle leg manual stacker has increased safety and increased efficiency when lifting and carrying goods and hampers. Volunteers no longer have to manually lift heavy boxes individually as whole pallets can now be raised and lowered safely. Being able to raise and lower loads safely has also allowed for better utilisation of space as pallets can now be stored vertically on top of each other instead of having to be spread out across the distribution centre floor, the company says.

News Thomas Manufacturing’s Top of Range batching plant

Best of the batch Multiple options available for Thomas Manufacturing’s trusted mobile batching plant models Built for ease of transport and with flexible options available, the mobile concrete batching plants produced by Thomas Manufacturing are in hot demand, both in Australia and overseas. Established in 1997, the company is dedicated to building custom-made equipment for the crushing, mining and recycling industries. In doing so, it develops everything from bagging plants to feed hoppers, conveyors, pre-coating plants, screening plants, stackers and trommels. But the company’s batching plants have enjoyed steady popularity, with company owner Errol Thomas telling Plant & Equipment the company has recently taken an order for unit 145 after 20 years of building them. “It’s a bit of a niche market – we build them robust enough to handle pretty severe conditions, and we build them so they are very simple plants to operate… when our plants are going into remote areas we try and keep the technology out of it and keep it simple,” Thomas says. “Too much technology means too many things can go wrong.” This is part of the unit’s appeal for operators in remote locations, with buyers across regional Queensland and the Gulf as well as Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Fiji and Christmas and Cocos Islands. While Thomas Manufacturing sets out to keep the designs simple, Thomas says that the company does

offer “pages and pages” of different options for new technologies that customers may seek out. Its Top of the Range model features a six cubic metre loading hopper with fold-up hungry boards and can handle up to 20 tonnes of weight through its shear beam Rinstrum load cell system. Next to that is a 2.5 cubic metre cement hopper with an air slide, an access ladder built to take bulka bags with an option to add an extension to take its capacity to six cubic metres – along with a bag house and its Dustcotech ISO fill system. The Top of the Range batching plant is electrically-powered by a 44kVA generator fitted with a 32 CFM air compressor, 600mm discharge conveyor, cement auger, air operated butterfly valves and air slides and Manu Flow automatic water system. The whole concrete batch plant is operated by a Rinstrum batch control system. Operators can monitor capacity of both the clamshell and conveyor using a new camera system, complete with screen, while the weighing system also features a five-digit readout panel. Thomas Manufacturing offers different options for the clamshell doors on the hopper including a manual solution developed from a trailer’s jockey wheel to wind the doors shut, through to a push button operation and even an automated system.

A similar arrangement is in place for its water systems, which can use a simple meter to monitor how much water is used, through to an automated system that can be set and forgotten about. “So you can go from the very, very simple version to the very, very technical version, and we cover all of those spaces, from there and everything in between,” Thomas says. He adds that the company has also embraced new technologies. “We have just developed our own batch control system with Rinstrum instruments, which we use for all our measuring and mix calculations. “It is basically on a laptop, which is wireless to the plant, so you don’t have to be anywhere near the plant to operate the plant… it also allows us to access that plants batch control system from anywhere in the world.” Other new features include an awning for operators’ comfort, Spitwater high pressure wash down system and retractable air and water hoses, Landcruiser rims and tyres, two sets of 28-tonne wind-down trailer legs and a six-tonne tow ring. The conveyors and augers on the batching plants are powered by SEW Eurodrive gearboxes and motors. Thomas says the ISO market has become very popular and it has adapted its plants to take on this market. This has taken away a lot of the problems with bulka bags and the storage of cement onsite with the ISO system preventing the moisture issues that were encountered in Northern remote areas. “In a nutshell, the ISO tanks are placed next to our batching plants and pumped directly into our plants to process the batch, this is more efficient than bulk bags,” he says. The unit price is for a Top of Range batching plant is $242,340 plus GST, with extra options available for additional costs. Contact Thomas Manufacturing on 07 4662 0900 for more information.
