Medium-duty

Light-duty

The medium-duty segment was also up over the 2021 January result, with 421 medium truck deliveries for the month of January 2022, verses 366 units last year – a solid gain of 15%. However, this result is well short, 130 trucks, or just over 23%, of the best-ever January deliveries of 551 medium-duty trucks achieved in 2008. With the Truck Industry Council seeing the medium-duty segment as being a shrinking market, though, it is unlikely we will see those numbers again. If there is a decline, Isuzu is going out swinging – easily outstripping the competition in January with a total of 210 sales; 100 units ahead of closet rival Hino. This is a 67-unit gain on January’s 2021, while Hino dropped 18 from 2021’s 128 to 2022’s 110. Fuso remains in third place, with a 10-unit gain on last year to reach 73, while Iveco did the opposite and dropped from 2021’s 20 to reach a total of 10 units.

Light-duty trucks is another story, however, and January saw a very strong boost of 5.5% on 2021’s number, reaching a total of 768 compared to 729 last January, and setting a new January sales record for this segment. Isuzu again has a commanding lead on 285 for January 2022, up just nine on 2021 but 96 units ahead of second place Fuso, which came in at 189. Fuso, however, managed to take the runner-up position from Hino in terms of January figures, with Hino delivering 160 compared to 172 in January 2021, while last year’s fourth place Mercedes-Benz took a tumble down the ranks to eighth, selling six units compared to 2021’s 44. The only other notable movement in the remaining names was Iveco, which saw a sizeable boost from 2021’s 18 to reach 51 this January and hit fourth place.

Fresh START

When you’re a small business owner, or starting out with plans to get your very first truck, getting the finance in place can be difficult. Start Fresh Finance has the know-how to get you the best deal for your business needs

Jan Watman, director and owner of Start Fresh Finance

The transport industry is a growing and

competitive industry

Looking to invest in a new truck but need a loan to finance this? How do you ensure that you get the best rate on the market? This is where a broker steps in to translate confusing jargon and search the market for the financial products that best suit your particular needs. Start Fresh Finance, based on the Sunshine Coast, is run by Jan Watman, who has over 30 years of experience in the financial sector. Providing specialised assistance to the transport and construction industries, and particularly start-up businesses, Watman told Deals on Wheels that taking advantage of a broker’s services, like Start Fresh Finance, can save you time and frustration. “As a broker I act as a ‘go between’, who liaises with banks/lenders,” she explained. “The key to a good broker is someone who listens to a client’s requirements, reviews the client’s situation and offers options. You need to be very careful about not going to a broker who just applies with a few lenders – as each enquiry [whether you proceed with the loan or not] can impact your credit file. “We limit the number of enquiries – each credit enquiry can reduce your score by 20–30 points – so with one enquiry and a good payment history we can help a client improve their credit score.” As well as having an expert on your side to navigate the system, using a broker can also be a quicker way to get a loan approved. “These days, banks can take up to four to eight weeks for an approval,” said Watman. “Our longest is one week – usually within 24–48 hours of having all information from a client. There are many alternatives to banks that are still at good rates for a business.” Watman began Start Fresh Finance as she “saw a need to offer clients who are possibly starting a business, growing a business or had experiences of tough times in the past and want a second chance”. “The transport industry is a growing and competitive industry – and also a close-knit group. So, after I assisted a few clients, my business grew by word of mouth."

Start Fresh Finance specialises in ownerdrivers and start-up businesses, helping those in the industry who may have had credit issues in the past and now want their own truck. “We work with them as to what is the best option – whether rent to own or other finance companies who will assist startups with small deposits. Often, in these circumstances, we work with the clients and their accountants to ensure their cashflow forecast is strong and creates a sustainable business,” said Watman. “One client – Reaper Transport – I have continued to maintain contact with and love seeing their business grow. I helped them back in 2015 to start their business with their first truck and, now, they have a thriving business with a few trucks." Indeed, on Facebook, the feedback from the company is enthusiasticly positive, stating that Start Fresh Finance "is responsible for Reaper even happening in the first place". Often, said Watman, people don’t think they can get finance if they have been previously rejected. Start Fresh Finance, though, can provide access to a wider array of financial options. “We help structure a deal that is acceptable to the client and also the lender. We then work with the clients ongoing and offer short-term cash solutions – whether debtor/ invoice financing or short-term overdrafts/ business loans.” Watman explained that it’s the personal touch and understanding of the industry that sets Start Fresh Finance apart on the market. “I take time to listen to my clients. I do not pass them onto others – they are talking to the owner of the business. I am a business owner and am passionate about helping other businesses grow," she explained.

’17 DAF XF105 510hp Auto 770,000km $129,000 Derrimut VIC 03 9998 4888

There’s shine in all of the right places, with an alloy bullbar, square tanks and wheels all buffed up ready for this semi cabover’s next owner. ‘The ultimate driver’s truck’ as DAF puts it, the XF105 isn’t just a workhorse ready to handle a 70,000kg gross combined mass on Airglide suspension, it won both European Truck of the Year and an Australian International Design Award for excellence in design innovation, with low sill lines on the doors, a deep windscreen and aerodynamic sun visor. The Space Cab comes in at 175cm standing height and it seems the top bunk has been removed from the original setting, to provide more space overhead in the sleeping area.

For many, a truck just isn’t a truck unless it’s a Kenworth, so feast your eyes upon this tidy little T359 day cab prime mover.

Scan with your Smartphone camera to check out this deal!

’13 Kenworth T359 day cab Cummins ISMe5 440hp 18-spd R/Ranger 649,000km $126,500 Campbellfield VIC 03 8373 7111

Elevated with touches of blue scrollwork, this has seen a personal touch, with alloy wheels also adding a flash of shine to the yard. Built to handle both metro and interstate applications, you might see this versatile truck appearing in front of everything from a concrete pump to a load of new cars, showing that, though it might not be the biggest beast on the road, it can be a truck for many occasions. This particular T359 from 2013 is the 6x4 configuration with a Cummins IDMe5 engine bringing 440hp (328kW) to the party via an 18-speed RoadRanger gearbox. Underneath we have a bogie drive on airbag suspension, a fixed turntable and 4m of usable chassis, with just 649,000km under the belt. Inside is the classic Kenworth look, with a flat instrument panel and wood-grain effect finish. When ATN took one for a spin around Melbourne back in 2012, the reviewer summed it up as “one little truck that is definitely punching above its weight”, so what’s stopping you?

Here, we have this very smart UD Quon CW 26 390 fitted with a 12-pallet freezer body.

Scan with your Smartphone camera to check out this deal!

’15 UD CW 26 380 Quon 380hp 12-spd auto 436,000km $159,500 Campbellfield VIC 03 8373 7111

This 6x4 rigid, despite being seven years old, is still young in usage, having not yet broken the half a million kilometre mark. The 380hp (283kW) GH11 engine has a maximum torque of 1,750Nm (1,290lb ft), mated to a 12-speed automated manual gearbox, the ESCOT-VI, which “provides a sophisticated and comfortable driving experience that reduces driver stress and fatigue”, according to UD. The engine also meets the Japanese pPNLT emission standard, which UD says exceeds Euro 6. This feeds into the company’s aim that this model offered improved fuel efficiency and “respect for the environment” when it was released. The ThermaTruck FRP body is chilled with a Carrier Supra diesel fridge unit and has a fibreglass floor, rear barn doors and pallet side door, with a ladder tucked underneath. Though the inside shows some wear and tear from years on the road and may not be the flashiest, to get your load around town the compact cab has everything at the fingertips. Check it out now!

Fond memories of Jim Cooper A Scania 460 R tractor wows when put to the test Isuzu celebrates 50 years in Australia Cummins buys out Jacobs Vehicle Systems

3/3/2022 1:31 pm

News Isuzu recently announced that it was developing an electric powertrain with Cummins

Isuzu celebrates 50 years in Australia Isuzu has one eye on the future and steadfast focus on helping build businesses for a long time to come It has been 50 years since Isuzu was introduced to Australia by General Motors Holden back in 1972, and Isuzu is celebrating not only 50 years of operation, but also 33 consecutive years of market leadership in Australia, with 2021 its largest sales year to date. Isuzu Australia Limited (IAL) director and COO Andrew Harbison shared his thoughts on the occasion, with a key focus on the ‘Isuzu family’, the people and products that have contributed to Isuzu’s success. “There’s little doubt the story of Isuzu in this country has been underpinned by a fantastic product, born out of a union between a Tokyo ship-building company and an energy producer back in 1916, both motivated by one clear vision – to build quality vehicles,” said Harbison. “Although perhaps hidden somewhat is the story of the people, and the commitment of those people in delivering superior support, better ideas and the best service in the business. “In 2022, we’ll celebrate our 50th anniversary milestone, but all with one eye on the future and a steadfast focus on helping build businesses for a long time to come, because we know that reputations are riding on us.” Isuzu trucks were initially marketed as ‘Bedford by Isuzu’, which helped appeal to an audience unfamiliar with the brand. Three years later, local assembly of trucks commenced at Holden’s plant in Dandenong, with the JCR model and the Bedford name dropped. The 1980s saw the introduction of the N Series and F Series to the lineup

and the formation, in 1989, of Isuzu General Motors Limited (I-GM), which bought the Dandenong plant. This partnership lasted until 2005, when General Motors sold its 40 per cent stake in I-GM to Isuzu Motors Limited (Japan), marking the formation of IAL. General Motors (I-GM) president & MD Masayuki Murata presided over this transition and acted as an important conduit between the parent company and its Australian operation. “Just like those that came before him, Murata-san became a fierce advocate of product development for the Australian market,” said Harbison. “It’s the contribution of people like Murata-san that have seen Australia end up as one of the most respected and envied Isuzu subsidiaries in the world. “Moreover, Murata-san’s approach has set the tone for some of our other Japanese managing directors, Mike Yoda and Hiroko Yaguchi, to name a few.” Discussing the beginning of Isuzu’s leadership of truck sales in Australia in 1989, Harbison noted the

contribution of former director and chief operating officer Phil Taylor. “Phil’s legacy at IAL is as storied as it is lasting,” said Harbison. “Coming from a truck sales background, Phil brought some street smarts to the leadership at IAL and can be credited with modernising the Isuzu dealer footprint from a sales perspective. “Phil was a people person at heart and recognised talent when he saw it. IAL’s internal processes and practices definitely took a huge leap forward under Phil’s watch, too. “Phil will be remembered for his ‘take no prisoners’ approach to business and an internal drive for perfection that permeates through to today.” As IAL looks towards the next 50 years of business, the business is expanding its sales, innovation and strategy platforms. “We’re extremely proud of our past, the achievements, the industry firsts and our mantle as a trusted road transport solutions provider for Australian businesses,” announced Harbison. “Similarly, we’re acutely aware of what awaits us as an industry leader. “Change is well and truly upon us, and we’re continually working to assemble the best and brightest in the business. “We’ve bolstered our capabilities in a number of areas, principally under the overarching banners of ‘Strategy and Innovation’.”

News Joyce says the Outback Way is a vital piece of national transport infrastructure

Funding boost for Outback Way upgrade Road freight connectivity to improve ‘Australia’s longest shortcut’ across regional Queensland, NT and WA The government has announced plans to invest an additional $678 million to seal another 1,000 kilometres of road and deliver further upgrades along the 2,720kmlong Outback Way, named ‘Australia’s longest shortcut’. As part of the works, the remaining unsealed and substandard sections of Outback Way in Queensland and Western Australia will be sealed. The full route links Laverton in Western Australia to Winton in Queensland. Additional priority sections on the Plenty Highway and Tjukaruru Road in the Northern Territory will also be upgraded. PM Scott Morrison said that the upgrades will support 2,197 jobs and deliver an important economic boost across Australia’s centre. “Our additional investment of $678 million in Outback Way is part of our plan for a strong economy across Queensland, the Northern Territory and Western Australia,” announced Morrison. “Investing in infrastructure right across Australia will keep our economy strong and growing while ensuring Australians, regardless of where they live, have jobs. “Our investment locks in a pipeline of works that will drive investment in regional Australia and boost economies from Winton in Queensland to Laverton in Western Australia, helping regional and remote communities and those who

call them home to grow and prosper.” Transport and infrastructure minister Barnaby Joyce says the government was delivering on its commitment to seal the entire length of Outback Way. “This additional funding builds on the $330 million we’ve invested since 2013 to seal over 600 kilometres of Outback Way, giving freight, tourists and locals a smoother, safer drive,” he explained. “$124 million will be spent on upgrades in the Northern Territory alone, creating 442 jobs for locals and delivering a much-needed economic injection in the Territory. “These upgrades will spark new opportunities for industries along the route, including the critical earth precincts north of Alice Springs, the gold precincts around Laverton and the massive beef industry, while ensuring communities and people on the corridor have better access to supplies.” Federal Member for Maranoa David Littleproud says $154 million would be invested in the Queensland section of Outback Way, creating 671 jobs across the state and driving economic growth. “Sealing and upgrading Outback Way will reduce the long and unreliable travel times that freight and motorists experience along sections of the route,” said Littleproud. “The upgrades will also drive

economic growth in remote communities, bring more tourists, improve connections between people, jobs, services and goods with markets.” Queensland senator Susan McDonald added that mining and agriculture businesses would benefit from the government’s investment in in western Queensland. “$41.5 million of this funding will go towards progressively sealing the remaining unsealed sections of the Donohue Highway in Queensland, to improve safety and efficiency,” she said. “Solely-funded by the Australian government, the Donohue Highway sealing works will support around 124 jobs during construction, providing a major boost to the local economy.” Federal Member for O’Connor Rick Wilson says the government had put $400 million on the table to seal the full length of Outback Way in Western Australia. “This funding commitment will create 1,084 jobs in Western Australia, delivering a significant boost to our regional and remote towns,” said Wilson. “A sealed route will also deliver social benefits for communities by improving access to goods and services and increased employment opportunities, particularly for Indigenous communities.” The government’s additional funding for Outback Way means upgrades can continue to be rolled out as previously funded works are completed. The Australian government’s funding commitment represents 80% of the total funding package, with state and territory governments providing the remaining 20%.

News Rix says the Cascadia is like a “quantum leap” from previous Freightliners

Freightliner Cascadia a winner for country customer Grain and fertiliser hauler Mark Rix now has a fleet of three Freightliner Cascadias Based in Bolwarrah, near Ballarat in Victoria, Rix took delivery of a stunning blue 126 Cascadia in late 2019 and was so impressed with it that he ordered two more, which arrived in his fleet last October. While he has a mixed fleet, Rix has been buying Freightliner trucks for some time, including multiple Coronados and a Columbia that managed more than 2 million km before it was sold to a new owner. Rix said the Cascadia is a very different vehicle compared to previous Freightliners. “You can’t compare the Cascadia to the Freightliners that came before it, it is like a quantum leap over of anything before it,” he said. “The technology, the comfort, the quality of the interior and the performance is just way out in front of the previous models, and any other truck from my experience.” Rix said the combination of advanced technology and safety, previously missing from US-style bonneted trucks in Australia, with a comfortable conventional truck with a spacious sleeper has made for the perfect truck. “They figured out a way to combine the best parts of European trucks with the best parts of American trucks,” said Rix. Rix’s operation, which he

established with his wife, Kaye, selected the 126 Cascadia, equipped with the DD16 16-litre Detroit sixcylinder diesel that produces 600hp (447kW) and 2,050lb-ft (2,779Nm) of torque, fed through a fully automated 12-speed DT-12 Detroit transmission. All three are recording excellent fuel consumption, says Freightliner, but it is the single trailer 126 running at 44 tonnes across to Adelaide and back that is showing particularly good results. “It’s getting 2.4km per litre every single day and that is fantastic,” Rix exclaimed. “I’m really, really happy with that.

The Detroit is the best performer on fuel and also AdBlue.” Rix’s operation primarily transports grain, fertiliser and lime, and the most recent Cascadia 126, which features a cavernous 60-inch (152cm) cabin, was hooked up to a brand-new tri-tri stag trailer set manufactured by Chris’ Body Builders. He purchased his Cascadias through Brendan Eales at Daimler Trucks Somerton. All Cascadias come standard with a four-year/800,000km manufacturer warranty and five- year/500,000km of complimentary servicing that is standard with all Cascadia models rated below 110 tonnes. Standard equipment covers a full suite of safety features, including a radar and camera-based advanced emergency braking system that can automatically detect, and fully brake for, moving pedestrians and vehicles. Also standard is a radarbased adaptive cruise control system and a lane departure warning system in addition to an electronic stability program and a driver airbag. Rix has also chosen the optional sideguard assist feature, which uses radar to detect people, cars and other objects down the side of the truck when it is about to move left into a lane or turn left.

News The distribution centre comprises a building area of 7,252sqm, situated on a 40,200sqm land holding

Regional Vic DC sells for $10.6 million Immediate proximity to Hume Highway adds operational supply chain value to the site A Barnawartha North-based modern distribution centre has been sold by Colliers for $10.6 million to Ascot Capital. The Wine Depot Distribution Centre was subject to a 12-year triple net leaseback to ASX-listed company Wine Depot, with the added benefit of planning approval for the construction of an additional warehouse and extension of the existing facility. “We are delighted to be forming a long-term partnership with Wine Depot,” said Ascot Capital director Greg King.

“This fits right into Ascot’s deal envelope, with long tenure of income and the opportunity to scale-up with further development.” The distribution centre was built in 2005 and comprises a building area of 7,252sqm, situated on a 40,200sqm land holding, with the ability to increase the gross lettable area to 18,022sqm through an expansion of the existing facility and the construction of an additional adjoining building. “Macro-economic drivers for the industrial and logistics market, such as e-commerce and infrastructure

investment, will further benefit the Albury-Wodonga precinct due to its excellent nationwide connectivity, and we expect to continue to see further yield compression within the precinct,” said Colliers industrial capital markets Australia director Sean Thomson. “There is an increasing occupier demand for regional distribution centres due to the increased efficiency and sophistication of automated warehousing reducing order fulfilment times and inventory loss. “This asset is critical for Wine Depot’s operational supply chain as 85% of Australia’s population can be reached by an overnight transport shift due to the immediate proximity of Australia’s premium freight corridor, the Hume Highway.”

Freight data hub bags excellence award The hub will highlight important information about freight on land, sea and air The Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and Communications’ National Freight Data Hub recently received the Intelligent Transport System (ITS) Australia Excellence in Transport Data Award. ITS Australia is the peak body for advanced transport technology in Australia, seeking new and innovative ways to bring freight and transport technology into the future. The award recognises an organisation’s contribution in the use of transport data to deliver outstanding outcomes for the community. The Hub is a result of the Australian government’s $16.5 million investment to provide a new way for industry and governments to share and use freight data. Assistant Road Safety and Freight Transport Ministers Scott Buchholz

Scott Buchholz says the award is an extraordinary achievement for all involved. “The Hub will be a trusted source of freight data for industry, government and others to improve the efficiency, safety and resilience of the freight sector,” said Buchholz. “Once completed, it will highlight important information about freight on land, sea and air, including traffic volumes and congestion; road condition and

rest area usage — all of which support more efficient freight delivery and safer transport outcomes for freight operators. “The award-winning Hub prototype, developed in conjunction with Nova [formerly Geoplex], invites the public to explore the data currently accessible and provide feedback on website experience. “Freight operators, producers and customers will benefit from the insights generated into how and where freight is being moved, where the delays are and where the opportunities are to become more globally competitive. “A huge congratulations and thank you to those who were involved in producing the Hub, including the Department, all staff, Nova and all cross-industry stakeholders. “I look forward to following the progress of the Hub as it works to improve the quality and accessibility of freight data.”

TWU calls out PM over truckie deaths Federal government has dragged its heels for too long to deadly consequences, according to the TWU The Prime Minister’s refusal to implement the recommendations of a landmark Senate report tabled six months ago is ramping up the deadly pressure on truckies, says the TWU, as it takes aim at the federal government for not backing drivers in their fight for a fairer road transport industry. Since the report was tabled, 87 people have died in truck-involved crashes, including 32 truck drivers. These figures mark a sharp incline in the rate of truck driver deaths, with one truckie killed on average every six days since the Inquiry made its final recommendations – an increase from the average rate over the last five years from one death every 10 days. The Without Trucks, Australia Stops report – tabled to the Senate on August 25, 2021 – was the result of an extensive two-year inquiry led by WA Senator Glenn Sterle, which brought together transport workers, operators, employer groups and organisations like TWU. The report sets out several key reform paths to lift industry standards. At its heart is a recommendation the federal government establish an independent body to create and enforce universal binding standards

in road transport. A body of this kind would address supply chain pressures and protect the industry’s long-term sustainability by ending the ‘Amazon Effect’ undercutting transport operators, says TWU. The federal government has so far only enacted a few recommendations, like the establishment of an apprenticeship scheme for road transport, but has failed to act decisively to end the social, economic and contracting pressures which make transport Australia’s deadliest industry, it explained. TWU national secretary Michael Kaine said the federal government’s go-slow showed it wasn’t on the side of truckies or the industry. “Truck drivers have never been more fatigued, less financially secure and under greater pressure from companies at the top than they are today. When you couple these crippling pressures with gig bottom feeders like Amazon undercutting the industry at every opportunity, it’s no wonder truckies are leaving transport in droves,” he said. “This isn’t some fringe report. The Inquiry was widely supported and its recommendations endorsed by workers and the industry. It’s a workable blueprint for a fairer and

TWU says the government is not on the side of truckies or the industry

more sustainable road transport industry that’s now just gathering dust on the Prime Minister’s shelf. “The federal government’s dragged its heels for too long, to deadly consequences. If the LNP fails to implement the Senate’s recommendations in full, Scott Morrison will have to explain to truckies and small fleet operators across the country why their safety and financial security isn’t his priority.” Road transport is an industry in crisis, with pressures of underpayments, fatigue, speeding, and overloaded trucks linked to the low-cost contracts demanded by wealthy retailers, manufacturers and oil companies at the top of the supply chain, TWU says. The six-month milestone comes following a series of devastating truck crashes in recent weeks, including a collision between two road trains on the Kamilaroi Highway in NSW, which killed two drivers, and a head-on smash killing two drivers in Woman in QLD. So far in 2022, 31 people have died in truck-involved crashes, including 10 truck drivers.

Vale Jim Cooper on the job in Western Australia. His contribution to remote Australia was remarkable and his influence on many people exceptional

Jim Cooper AM – a personal perspective By Steve Brooks Words will never do justice to the life and achievements of Jim Cooper. Not my words, anyway. They could never be good enough. Nor could they relate the depth of regard and admiration felt for a man whose strength of character and inherent tenacity, cobbled together with an underlying and understated passion for people of substance at all rungs of the social spectrum, made him truly special as a human being. First and foremost.

Yet, despite the inadequacy of words, it’s impossible to let Jim’s recent passing at 81 years of age slide by without at least offering some modest acknowledgement of a man whose presence had such an enduring effect on people of so many persuasions. Immediately in my mind come people like long-term Cooper stalwart Michael ‘Hollywood’ Chard, the Bilato brothers of G&S Transport in Alice Springs, my late mate and

exceptional remote regions driver Lance Ward, and esteemed former trucking journalists Bruce Honeywill and Murray Clifford. Without prompt or encouragement, each would openly extol a liking and respect for Jim, drawn from deep and largely personal experiences of working with and for him. But they certainly weren’t alone. There were so many more, lifetime Cooper colleagues and confidantes, while, at the top end of town, politicians, business leaders, mining giants, managing directors and transport chiefs were all part of the Cooper tapestry. Still, and again to my mind, Jim was a man you had to know to appreciate who and what he was. The wiry build, the laconic persona, the blunt talk and the distaste for public notoriety despite an Order of Australia medal all belied the titan within. True, the frank demeanour, high expectations and absolute intolerance for bullshit may not have always won the support of some but, in Jim’s view, it usually won with those who mattered. No question, he built a fabulous legacy full of wonderful innovations, great company accomplishments and invaluable industry advocacy, and his range of associates and contacts were as vast and varied as his adopted country. A Kiwi by birth and Territorian by choice for much of his life, he jammed more into one existence than some of us could even think possible, let alone achievable. His book Pushing the Boundaries – The Gulf Group in Remote Australia defines both the possibilities and the achievements. Any attempt to summarise or extrapolate something more meaningful in the wake of his passing would, I believe, be less than respectful. It’s his story and his book tells it best. Maybe, and perhaps probably, Jim and his adored late wife, Jenny, never set out to build businesses of such size or scope. They saw a job and

Vale Jim and son, Jamie, snapped at the 2015 Brisbane Truck Show. His laconic character belied a life of immense achievements

they did it. They saw an opportunity and they took it. And, for Jim, there was always a better way to do it, whether it was hauling road trains of livestock or bulk loads of rock and ore through some of the most inhospitable regions of Australia, creating a Powertrans enterprise of specialised mining trucks and powered trailers, or, in later life, when most people might be looking to back off, reshaping a massive dairy enterprise in New Zealand’s South Island close to his family’s hometown in Wanaka. Cooper the man, however, was far more than the sum of his industrial and commercial achievements. Heaps more and, again, his influence on people of extraordinarily diverse backgrounds was immense. I am grateful to have been one of the many. Indeed, at the start of 2020, just as Covid-19 was rearing its ugly head, there was a sense of excited appreciation to be on the guest list of his 80th birthday celebrations in Wanaka. The list itself was a typically eclectic cohort of Cooper family and friends, drawn from both sides of the Tasman and spanning decades of shared deeds and interests. Sadly, Covid caused the event to be cancelled at the last minute and the opportunity to celebrate a remarkable man’s remarkable journey was lost. Worse, in occasional phone calls over the following year and more, his waning health became increasingly apparent. He wouldn’t mention it, preferring to dig into the memory bank and enjoy talk of shared experiences. As a close colleague remarked when first hearing of Jim’s passing: “It truly is the end of an era. We won’t see his like again, certainly not in our lifetimes.”

It is unfortunate that the modern world overstates words like ‘legend’ and ‘icon’ so freely because, quite simply, these are the words that define the life and times of Jim Cooper most rightly. Survived by son Jamie and

daughters Robyn, Erynne and Allison, Jim Cooper passed away on Friday, January 28, in his native New Zealand. Many will miss him, but just as many will be grateful for having known him. Fortunately, I will be one of the many.

The pride of the CRT Group fleet, this prime mover was used to transport Basell polypropylene in CRT’s purposebuilt 30-foot aluminium containers from Altona to Geelong. As an iconic model for Mack, the B-61 is widely admired, and this specific vehicle was originally exported to Australia, arriving in the country on 21 December 1964. Exactly 26 years later to the day, CMV Group took delivery of the truck to add to the CMV Historic Vehicle Collection. UD Trucks Australia has also loaned a fully restored 1973 UD CK40 for display at the CMV exhibit. Little is known about the origins of this

particular truck, however it was restored by a dedicated team of UD employees many years ago and was originally on display at UD’s former corporate headquarters in Chullora, NSW. “Trucks like this CK40 laid the foundations of the rugged and ultimate dependability that the UD brand in renown for here in Australia,” said Lauren Downs, vice president, UD Trucks Australia. “Even now you can find examples of this very truck still operating in the back blocks of rural Australia.

“We are pleased to be playing a part in supporting both CMV and MOVE. “Iconic trucks brands such as those on display at this museum are the backbone of regional Australia and it is fantastic to see our industry recognized for the contribution it makes to keeping the wheels of our economy turning.” For more info on MOVE, check out this issue’s cover story, starting p110.

Cummins is looking to expand its expertise in zero emission applications

Cummins to acquire Meritor

QTLC explores zero emission potential

Cummins to buy out Meritor and expand EV capabilities

New report provides recommendations for stakeholders around zero emissions trucks

Cummins Inc. and Meritor, Inc. have announced that they have entered into a definitive agreement under which Cummins will acquire Meritor, a manufacturer of drivetrain, mobility, braking, aftermarket and electric powertrain solutions for commercial vehicle and industrial markets. Under the terms of the agreement, Cummins will pay US$36.50 (A50.83) in cash per Meritor share, for a total transaction value of approximately US$3.7 billion (A$5.2 billion). “The acquisition of Meritor is an important milestone for Cummins. Meritor is an industry leader, and the addition of their complementary strengths will help us address one of the most critical technology challenges of our age: developing economically viable zero carbon solutions for commercial and industrial applications,” said Tom Linebarger, chairman and CEO, Cummins. “Climate change is the existential crisis of our time and this acquisition accelerates our ability to address it. Our customers need economically viable decarbonised solutions. “In addition, our communities and our planet depend on companies like Cummins to invest in and develop these solutions. “This acquisition adds products to our components business that are independent of powertrain technology, and by leveraging our global footprint we expect to accelerate the growth in Meritor’s core axle and brake businesses. There is also a compelling financial case for this acquisition, with significant synergies expected in SG&A, supply chain operations and facilities optimisation.”

Queensland Transport and Logistics Council (QTLC) has released a report exploring the current and nearterm potential for zero emission (ZE) freight trucks. Focusing on the factors that fleets say are constraining growth, the report provides recommendations for all key stakeholders to support transition. “Significant deployment of ZE trucks will be required to meet the Queensland and Australian government’s net-zero targets, yet, today, less than 0.2% of new truck sales are ZE,” said QTLC CEO Lauren Hewitt. QTLC director Mark Gjerek noted: “The Queensland freight task can provide great early deployment opportunities – particularly in urban operations, which represent 70% of all rigid truck activity. QTLC partnered with specialist consultancy Mov3ment to analyse the suitability of ZE trucks in different market segments. “There is a lot of focus on hydrogen for heavy vehicles. While it is technically suitable, we don’t see that being commercially viable by 2025, or even 2030, without significant government subsidies. But the report shows battery electric trucks can be financially viable, even today in the right application – including

Electric vehicles like the Hino Dutro Z could be roaming Australian streets soon

urban delivery, low frequency waste compactors and regional haul.” QTLC’s consultation with fleets and transport precincts highlighted a market that is underdeveloped due to a range of market maturity and cultural barriers. While many of these barriers will be addressed over time, some will require significant leadership, collaboration and investment. “We need to get beyond limited trials of one or two vehicles to achieve mainstream adoption,” said Gjerek. To that end, the report identifies some accelerator opportunities to address the confidence barriers the industry faces. QTLC says that it supports investment in into one of these project areas – ZE transport hubs and precincts. In the coming months, QTLC says it will be rolling out a program for these high traffic areas, which can act as a launch pad by providing aggregated demand for vehicles and fuels. QTLC will share the learnings gained through this for the benefit of all fleets, industry and government.

VSA Roads aims for higher GVM A shift from traditional utility-based service and pilot vehicles to dual cab Iveco cab chassis models is yielding dividends for VSA Roads according to Iveco VSA Roads, based in Laverton North, Victoria, is an amalgamation of five independent brands that work together to provide quarried and bituminous products along with associated paving and surfacing services. And while larger tipper and dogs and specialist road resurfacing equipment are the cornerstone of any road building effort, the support vehicles also play a vital role according to technician and driver Shaun Hennessy. Hennessy works for Inroads – one of the five companies that falls under the VSA Roads banner – and one of his responsibilities is to keep the spray sealing service crews up and running. “On a conventional crew, you’ll normally have four or five tippers working on a project. If one has a breakdown, you can keep the work going using the others, but often there’s only two sprayers on a job. So,

if there’s a problem, everything can slow down or come to a stop,” he said. “On the OB-Vario crew, the bitumen sprayer and aggregate spreader are combined within a single machine, so if that has any issues it can also stop the crew.” Hennessy’s support vehicle – which he took delivery of in late 2021 – is one of three new Daily models that have joined VSA Roads’ fleet; the other two trucks have been put to work as pilot vehicles with Inroads and sister company Primal Surfacing. As a support vehicle, the Daily 70C is fitted with a Hidrive service body and carries all the spare parts, tools and equipment that may be needed in the field, the total weight of which was just too heavy to be carried in a standard utility vehicle. “I’d been using a single cab 4x4 cab chassis utility with a Hidrive service body, but the vehicle itself didn’t provide the payload to safely and legally carry everything we needed

VSA Roads was looking for a higher GCM vehicle to carry the gear it needed

– even with an aftermarket GVM upgrade it still wasn’t enough, which led us to consider a truck-based cab chassis,” said Hennessy. “With a seven-tonne GVM, we get the payload we need for all our gear plus comfortable seating for a work crew. The comfort of the Daily has been a real surprise, it’s more comfortable than any vehicle I’ve had previously and you get out of it after travelling 500 to 600 kilometres and still feel fresh.” All three trucks feature a Euro 6-rated three-litre, turbodiesel engine producing 155kW and 470Nm, which are coupled to Iveco’s eight-speed full automatic transmission. “The Daily is absolutely great to drive, the engine is responsive and the gear changes are seamless, you can hardly notice them,” said Hennessy.

News The modular service body is manufactured by Hidrive Group

“The truck handles the weight so well and travelling at the legal highway speeds of 100 and 110 kilometres per hour is easy. We’re also impressed with the Daily’s longlist of safety features. It’s reassuring to have these particularly considering how long we spend on the road.” Although he’s transitioned to the Daily from a 4x4, Hennessy said the 4x2 Daily had a trick up its sleeve. “While not a four-wheel drive, having the option of a push button rear differential lock gives some extra peace of mind in conditions where traction might be lost,” he said. Another important component of the Daily’s overall package is the modular service body, manufactured by service body company Hidrive Group. The Hidrive bodies are a service body that run a unique modular solution for all industries, including call-out service technicians. The bodies’ engineered aluminium fuselage with polymer co-bonded panels deliver the lightest possible

weight, which helps keep the vehicle tare weight down. Hidrive service bodies are chassismounted, using the company’s own engineered and integrated torsion sub-frame and flexible chassis mounts. This unique combination ensures that any torsion from the cab chassis is not relayed into the service body. Hidrive spokesperson Tim Grace said there was increased interest in Daily-based models from his clients. “Our bodies can be fitted to a wide range of trucks and utilities, but we’ve

noticed that there’s been a growing enquiry for Hidrive service bodies for the Daily,” Grace said. “The Daily is a nice truck, they’re very comfortable and from a manufacturing perspective, we’ve engineered our product so that it is easy for us to deliver the service body configuration that the customer wants without any trouble.” All three trucks feature a Euro 6-rated three-litre, turbodiesel engine producing 155kW and 470Nm

News Paul Scurrah says the move will impact private rail freight operators

Concerns around Intermodal plan Pacific National says government should focus on upgrading existing tracks and Trans-Australian Railway The Australian government’s announcement regarding the establishment of the National Intermodal Corporation Limited has received a critical response from Pacific National. As one of Australia’s largest rail freight operators, Pacific National sees the move as posing a direct competition to private rail transport sector. It comes after the government announced that it will set up National Intermodal, previously known as Moorebank Intermodal Company, to support the planning, delivery and operation of the government’s investment in new state-of-theart intermodal terminals across Australia’s east coast. Transport Minister Barnaby Joyce says National Intermodal will service Inland Rail and facilitate an integrated approach to Australia’s interstate rail freight network. However, Pacific National CEO Paul Scurrah says instead of developing terminals, the government should focus on upgrading existing tracks and helping local and state governments deliver enabling infrastructure for future intermodals. “The last two decades has seen huge government investment in roads and regional highways, resulting in an explosion of larger trucks hauling more freight,” said Scurrah. “It’s hard enough competing against the rapid growth of road freight, let alone now facing direct competition from government using taxpayers’ money to develop intermodal terminals. “Let me stress, Pacific National

welcomes government investment to upgrade and improve the interstate rail freight network, but this initiative is misguided. “Pacific National would prefer the Australian government focus its attention and resources on building greater resilience into the existing interstate rail network, notably allocating funding to upgrade the Trans-Australian Railway – the umbilical cord for critical east-west freight movements, which was recently closed for almost a month. “The expansion of MIC’s role will have the perverse effect of stifling future private sector investment in the national rail supply chain, including capacity to support the Inland Rail project. “This initiative will not support the goal of both governments and rail operators driving modal shift of freight from road to rail to help deliver environmental and safety benefits for the nation. “Pacific National is strongly committed to growing freight volumes on rail, has an existing national network of interstate terminals supporting the national freight task and has initiated plans to further increase its capacity for container movements on rail by 10% early this year and a further 5% by September 2022. “On top of this, additional capacity will be boosted another 25% over the next four years. “This represents a significant existing and future commitment of capital and resources to continue the growth of freight on rail and meet the demands of our customers.

“However, we must now ask the question, why would a private company invest in the development or enhancement of an intermodal terminal when the government has announced its intention to publicly fund competing rail terminals rather than investing in the existing interstate network?” Pacific National has long advocated for increased government grant funding to enhance the safety, efficiency and resilience of interstate rail freight networks, Scurrah added. “As a recent case in point, the TransAustralian Railway – the umbilical cord along which huge volumes of goods and commodities flow between the east and west coasts of our continent – could do with a major upgrade,” he said. “However, taxpayers’ money should never be spent on replicating what the private sector is doing in terms of building intermodal terminals. “Rather than the federal government getting into the business of developing terminals, it should instead focus on upgrading existing tracks and helping local and state governments deliver enabling infrastructure for future intermodals. “We ask the question: does government use taxpayers’ money to develop truck depots? “They invest massively in upgrading local roads, interstate highways and building urban motorways (e.g. Pacific, Newell and Bruce highways, WestConnex etc), which in turn helps to give confidence to private road freight operators to set up shop along these transport corridors. “In this country, the private rail freight sector has a proud and successful history of constructing intermodal terminals in strategic locations to meet the needs of our many customers – long may this model continue.” The government, on the other hand, says the move will add resilience to supply chain operations.

News Cummins’ engine plant in Columbus, Indiana

Cummins snags Jacobs Vehicle Systems Zero emissions future in mind as the ‘Jake Brake’ moves under the umbrella of US engine manufacturer Cummins Inc has announced the signing of an agreement to acquire Jacobs Vehicle Systems (JVS), a subsidiary of Altra Industrial Motion Corp and a supplier of engine braking, cylinder deactivation, start and stop and thermal management technologies. The agreement brings the addition of new technologies to provide growth opportunities for Cummins’ current and future advanced diesel engine platforms. The acquisition of JVS also secures critical USMCAqualified engine components for current and aftermarket products and expands on Cummins Turbo Technologies’ success with customers globally. “JVS brings engineering expertise, best-in-class products and key manufacturing capabilities to Cummins that will allow us to continue developing component technologies that deliver market leading performance and emissions,” said Cummins’ president and chief operating officer Jennifer Rumsey. “We expect that this transaction will provide both attractive financial returns and future growth opportunities for our company.” Cummins says it plans to maintain JVS’ customer relationships and offer improved value and other benefits to the customers of both companies. Operations from the acquisition will report into Cummins Turbo Technologies, a business unit led

Jennifer Rumsey, Cummins’ president and chief operating officer

by vice president of Cummins Turbo Technologies Shon Wright that resides within the company’s components segment. “We’re excited about the prospect of welcoming employees from JVS into the Cummins organisation and look forward to adding their deep engineering talent to complement our expertise as we work together to develop innovative and costeffective products now, and in the future,” said Wright. According to Cummins, the acquisition also represents another step forward in its continued investment in key technologies to advance its path to zero emissions strategy that will reduce greenhouse

gas emissions and lower the air quality impacts of their products. Engine braking and cylinder deactivation technologies will be key components to meeting current and future emissions regulations, and this acquisition would allow Cummins to better integrate valuable components with its emissions-leading mediumand heavy-duty engines. Founded in 1961, JVS has roughly 600 employees and more than 60 years of experience in engine retarding and valve actuation systems for the commercial vehicle industry. Since then, more than nine million engine brakes have been produced by JVS for commercial vehicles throughout the world. There is also historical linkage between JVS engine brakes and Cummins. In 1961, JVS introduced the first engine brake, commonly referred to as the ‘Jake Brake’ for commercial vehicles, which was invented by Clessie Cummins, the founder of Cummins Inc. “We believe this acquisition is a terrific move to continue the rich tradition of JVS innovation,” said Altra chairman and CEO Carl Christenson. “The sale of JVS to Cummins will provide new opportunities to innovate and evolve industries that both companies have been part of for more than 60 years.” JVS has two primary manufacturing facilities in Bloomfield, CT (USA) and Suzhou, China, and Cummins expects to invest additional capacity and resources into their operations. JVS’ manufacturing footprint will also help Cummins meet USMCA requirements and further invest in the US. This acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including receipt of applicable regulatory approvals, and is expected to close during this calendar year.

Diagnostics: Risk Manager

Key risks for drone operators If your logistics business caters for last kilometre or just in time deliveries, chances are you’re using drones – or soon will be The uptake of drone use for business purposes is increasing every year, with operators overseas deploying them for last kilometre and small deliveries. Now, US-owned drone delivery company Wing is running the company’s two biggest Australian trial sites in Canberra and Logan in Queensland. Australian businesses are sure to follow. As drone use has evolved, so too have the risks involved, from sharing air space to regulatory compliance. Legally, all drones used for commercial purposes must be registered with the Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA), irrespective of their size or weight. Failure to comply could cost your business up to $11,100 in fines. If your logistics business is considering, or is already using, drones for deliveries, having appropriate insurance cover is critical. Drones have surpassed helicopters to become the second most common aircraft involved in accidents over the past five years, as recorded by the Australian Transport Safety Bureau. Their involvement in near misses with other aircraft has also soared and their crash rates are currently doubling every year at 21 per cent compound annual growth rate, according to QBE statistics. Here, we identify four key areas of risk for commercial drone operators. Planning Operator failure to take factors such as weather conditions, correct

payload and if the drone they’re operating is fit for purpose into consideration before launching the flight. Inadequately charged batteries Lack of understanding of how to charge batteries correctly results in the drone running out of charge. Battery failures can occur from a repetition of recharging, dissipating and recharging. Bird wildlife Incidents arising from bird traffic or attacks can potentially be avoided through greater awareness and planning. Ignorance of CASA regulations Logistics operators should be aware that drones are defined as aircraft and subject to liability under the Damage by Aircraft Act, with no requirement for proof of fault or negligence. Third party liability could also apply if a commercial drone crash causes damage to people or property. While undertaking appropriate training can help address these key risks, drone operation is still a new area. Usage protocols are still being developed, which means that

If you start to use drones in your business, you need to understand the risks

accidents can and do occur, making insurance protection a crucial safeguard for commercial users to consider. In Australia drone insurance covers two main areas: • public liability provides cover against third-party damage and bodily injury claims • drone hull and equipment cover for an agreed value for loss of, or damage to, your drone and operating equipment, and may include payload. Some of the basics to look for include: • accidental loss or damage to your equipment, including the drone itself, and payload • liability for bodily injury and/ or third-party property damage during flight and including the remote pilot on the ground • liability cover for claims against an invasion of privacy. Cyber crime is another important threat. Drones can easily be hacked from as far as a kilometre away. Hijacking the command and control signal between the operator and the drone gives the hacker full control of the drone. Gallagher can help with insurance cover that provides for your drone operation needs and this protection can be bundled with your other business insurance to provide optimal coverage.

Future fuels funding available Program to drive co-investment at scale in charging and refuelling infrastructure projects for future transport needs The Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) has launched a $127.9 million funding program to support fleet operators to shift towards new zero emissions vehicle (ZEV) technology. The Future Fuels Program, an Australian government initiative, will operate as a competitive, open and ongoing program that aims to support vehicle fleet operators to integrate ZEVs into their operations over the next four years. Funding will be available for light vehicle fleet operators for charging and electrical infrastructure, while heavy fleet operators are eligible for funding towards enabling infrastructure and some support for vehicle costs. ARENA is also looking to fund projects that incorporate hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and refuelling infrastructure. ARENA has committed over $78 million to ZEV technologies since 2016, including ultra-fast charging networks on major highways, home smart charging trials, next-generation biofuels and hydrogen refuelling infrastructure. In October 2021, ARENA announced funding for Transgrid

to develop a state-of-the-art electric bus depot in Leichhardt, New South Wales, providing a blueprint for how fleet operators can incorporate charging infrastructure in Australia. The program is the latest iteration of the Australian government’s Future Fuels Fund that is designed to drive co-investment at scale in charging and refuelling infrastructure projects for our future transport needs, including electricity, hydrogen or biofuels. This package of funding delivers on the next stage of the Future Fuels and Vehicles Strategy released by the Australian government in November 2021. Under Round 1 of the Future Fuels Fund, ARENA awarded $24.55 million to five companies for the construction of 403 electric vehicle fast charging stations spread across every state and territory. The first of these charging stations was completed and opened for use by the public on November 8, 2021. ARENA CEO Darren Miller said that this expanded program would build on the early successes of the Future Fuels Fund and drive the shift to ZEVs. “Assisting fleet users to move to

zero emissions vehicles means getting more zero emission cars and trucks on the road sooner, driving the road transport sector toward a net zero future,” said Miller. “By getting these vehicles on the road as soon as possible we’ll reduce emissions in the short term and help to create a market for second hand vehicles in the future, giving more consumers the option of switching to a ZEV with their next vehicle purchase. “ARENA is proud of what we were able to achieve with Future Fuels Round 1, with the largest ever expansion of public fast charging infrastructure in Australia. “With our support, more than 400 public fast charging stations for electric vehicles are being built across the country. “We’re confident the Future Fuels Program will continue that great work and drive down Australia’s transport emissions.” Following the success of the Future Fuels Round 1, the Australian government announced a $178 million cash boost, including funding specifically allocated to fleet programs. This fresh cash injection brings the total value of the Future Fuels Fund to $250 million and has enabled ARENA to launch the fleet program with a $127.9 million envelope. Future targeted funding rounds under the program will focus on further expansions to the electric vehicle public charging network, including regional areas, as well as increasing the use of smart chargers in drivers’ homes.

The first recipients of the inaugural President’s Award were also announced – CMI Hino Adelaide, Jacob Hino (Albury-Wodonga), Sci-Fleet Hino Brisbane, SciFleet Hino Gold Coast, CMI Hino Melbourne and Newcastle Hino. “Since I started with Hino Australia, it has been my vision to bring this high-profile Hino award to Australia and I congratulate the recipients for their exceptional efforts in all aspects of sales, parts and service,” said Hino Australia president and CEO Sam (Takashi) Suda. “CMI Hino Adelaide is one of the longest-standing Hino dealers in Australia and Jacob Hino has been representing the Hino brand for over 20 years – both of their teams should be congratulated on their exceptional results in 2021.” CMI Hino Adelaide dealer principal Paul Crawford accepted the award for the third time. “It’s hard to describe the excitement

and pride we all felt at being announced the Metropolitan Dealer of the Year for 2021,” said Crawford. “I want to thank all our employees and their partners for their role in our success – it really was a wonderful team effort from the CMIHino Adelaide team led by Nathan Chatfield during a challenging year. “The award feels even more special knowing the professionalism and quality of the other Hino dealerships around Australia.” Jacob Hino dealer principal Neville Jacob was delighted to receive the Dealer of the Year title for the first time in the dealership’s proud 22year history with Hino Australia. “Our strength at Jacob Hino is our tight-knit team, and this is a tribute to their hard work over the last 12 months, and many years before it – to receive this title in our 91st year is truly an honour,” said Jacob. “Like many others, 2021 was a challenging year for Jacob Hino, especially being on the border of NSW and Victoria. We are truly appreciative of the support shown to us by the Albury-Wodonga community and businesses.”

CMI Hino Adelaide and Jacob Hino further added to their respective trophy cabinets with the Parts Excellence Awards in the Metro and Regional categories, respectively. The Hino Financial Services Dealer of the Year was won by City Hino. For the second consecutive year, Adtrans Hino was awarded the Customer Experience – Service (Metropolitan) while Milne Bros Hino Mackay won the regional equivalent. It was a clean sweep of the major metropolitan sales awards for SciFleet Hino Brisbane, which took out the Customer Experience – Sales (Metropolitan) and Sales Excellence (Metropolitan) awards and its Fleet Sales Manager Will Gaulton won Salesperson of the Year after selling over 300 trucks for the first time ever in Hino history. Bendigo Truck Centre in Victoria was awarded the Customer Experience – Sales (Regional). In the Service Excellence category, Mavin Hino was successful in the Regional category while the Metropolitan award was won by CMI Hino Melbourne, which was also recognised for its 30 year service as a Hino dealer. Till Hino of Geelong, Victoria took out the Sales Excellence Regional Award for the second consecutive year. “It has been the collective efforts of our entire dealer network and the Hino Motor Sales Australia team that we were able to achieve outstanding results in 2021, and I commend all of the winning dealers on their results,” said Suda. After a Covid-enforced hiatus in 2020, the 2021 Hino Dealer of the Year awards were held online to allow dealerships from across the country to participate.

A fair fight Unfair contracts fight is not over, whatever way you look at it By the time you read this, time will have almost certainly have run out for new unfair contract legislation to have passed the federal parliament. Legislation before one parliament when it is dissolved before an election does not carry over to the next. At the time of writing, there were just two days of joint sittings remaining before an election was expected to be called in April. Regardless of how that plays out, the proposed law changes about unfair contracts are too important to slip off our industry’s agenda. If we have to go back to square one, we will, and if by some miracle the legislation did pass into law, there will be a lot of work to do to make sure the new rules are applied. Contracts are central to the way small road transport operators work with large businesses like big supermarkets and large retail chains. After all the struggles of Covid, and in the face of rising costs, unfair contracts that put driver livelihoods at risk by tipping the balance in favour of big corporates need to be kicked to the curb. Outgoing chairman of the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission, Rod Sims, made a point of mentioning the issue in his February 23 speech to the National Press Club. A month out from his retirement, he said: “Small business is another group

Warren Clark, CEO of the National Road Transport Association

whose voice is often insufficiently heard. They suffer badly from unfair contract terms in standard form contracts, and from a range of unfair practices that an Unfair Practices Provision would prevent. “Small businesses can face contracts for essential inputs, which mean prices can be unilaterally increased mid-contract, or which see automatic contract extensions coupled with punitive termination provisions. “Of course, some small businesses want protection from competition, but often they are simply after a level playing field on which they can compete. Not addressing the latter reinforces cries for the former, which is not helpful.” The wheels of government turn slowly but there was ample time for our law-makers to consider these changes and make sure the legislation passed. The process began in November 2020 when Commonwealth, state

and territory consumer Ministers decided to make changes to the existing law, especially by making unfair contract terms unlawful and giving courts the power to impose a civil penalty, as well as strengthening the regulator’s powers. Treasury released an exposure draft of a reform Bill in August last year, proposing changes aimed at strengthening protections for small businesses. NatRoad was very vocal on these issues and grateful when the legislation made it into the Parliament in February. We wanted the regulator to be given more power because small business members are usually reluctant to speak out, as that risks damaging commercial relationships. Small operators don’t kick up a stink when these issues arise because they don’t want to endanger future work and they don’t have the resources to pursue legal remedies. Being penalised because a pick-up or delivery does not occur due to factors out of a contractor’s control is patently unfair. And being forced to push an unreasonable time envelope for delivery is downright dangerous. These, and many other provisions, must be made unlawful.

Benchmarking dashboard updated

New data has been added to the dashboard to cover more areas of the industry

New data is available in the government’s Supply Chain Benchmarking Dashboard The dashboard, developed with the CSIRO and launched last October, enables industry to compare supply chain performance over road and rail and across different locations. A further 12 commodities are now available, including cement, asphalt, bitumen and molasses, giving industry insight into the supply chains of 150 commodities to help them compare performance by: • freight task costs and value, including cost per payload tonne or kilometre • travel distances and durations • geographic areas, including states and local government areas. Deputy PM and Minister for Infrastructure, Transport and Regional Development Barnaby Joyce said the more informed freight operators are, the better they perform and the more they save. “Australia’s freight sector has done exceptionally well to keep supplies flowing in challenging circumstances throughout the pandemic,” said Joyce. “As the sector returns to normal, the Supply Chain Benchmarking Dashboard will help freight operators to improve their operations, save on

costs and grow on the other side of the pandemic. “This new data will help more businesses to be more productive, competitive and resilient, driving improved performance across the sector. “Robust supply chains keep our economy strong, supermarket shelves stocked, products moving to international markets and people in jobs, which is why we are providing the data the sector needs.” Assistant minister for road safety and freight transport Scott Buchholz said the dashboard forms part of the National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy, the Australian government’s nationwide plan to ratchet up action and ambition from all levels of governments and industry to lift freight performance. “Better freight location and performance data and improved supply chain efficiency are two key target areas under the National Freight and Supply Chain Strategy,” Buchholz said. “That’s why our government is investing $16.5 million over four years to create a Freight Data Hub and provide freely available

resources such as this Supply Chain Benchmarking Dashboard. “The Dashboard builds on other initiatives such as the recently launched National Location Registry, which is also helping businesses get Aussie produce from gate to plate more efficiently. “With the current unique challenges of Covid-19, and our national freight volumes projected to continue to grow by over 35% by 2040, we know rail and road supply chain staff have been working hard to keep delivering for Australians. “We will continue to act and deliver initiatives that make this task easier, quicker, cheaper and safer.” CSIRO senior principal research scientist Dr Andrew Higgins said this update builds on the Australian government and CSIRO’s continuous investment in modelling Australia’s supply chains. “I would like to thank the 400-plus industries and businesses across Australia who supported this effort with data or expertise,” Higgins said.

Fareye expands offering Multi-national logistics company offers ‘green’ route planning among other datasets FarEye, a global SaaS platform provider transforming last-mile logistics, has announced several new capabilities for more environmentally sustainable delivery operations, route optimisation, and consumer experience. New capabilities across FarEye’s Intelligent Delivery Management Platform are designed to help customers boost delivery efficiency, enable green fleets, and gain visibility into outcomes of sustainability initiatives according to the company. “We are partnering with our customers using our optimisation and visibility solution to optimise fleets and reduce emissions while delivering delightful experiences to their end customers,” said Suvrat Joshi, chief product officer at FarEye. “In a world shifting towards prioritising environmental sustainability, we are dedicated to complementing and supporting our customers’ sustainability goals. In 2021, customers that used our platform collectively helped reduce carbon footprint by 40,961 tons. We see this number continue to increase as our customers adopt and use these new capabilities across first, mid, and last mile in their delivery network.” FarEye’s four new sustainability capabilities have been developed to help both shippers and carriers minimise CO2 emissions throughout their logistics operations, addressing end consumers’ desire to have their online orders delivered on time and with minimal or zero carbon emissions. These features include: • Green Vehicle Route Planning: Enables customers to design and plan last-mile delivery of products with an intelligent mix of green fleets (cargo bikes, bikes and foot delivery), to achieve on-time delivery, driving high consumer satisfaction with minimal or zero carbon footprint. • Long-Haul Truck Route Planning: Allows carriers to design optimal

FarEye Intelligent Delivery Management Platform

multi-day, long-haul trucking routes to minimise idling times, avoid roadblocks and reduce fuel consumption. FarEye’s algorithm facilitates long-haul deliveries with multiple drivers to swap driving shifts and meet the legal norms of on-road driving requirements. Carriers can not only achieve sustainable goals but also meet their OTIF targets. • Carrier Allocation System: Helps brands select suitable delivery partners for different types of shipments to improve their first attempt delivery rates, minimise delivery re-attempts and damaged goods deliveries, and avoid repeated transport and corresponding carbon emissions. This goes hand-in-hand with a strong focus on ensuring a higher percentage of first attempt delivery rates to build and sustain a loyal customer base. • Sustainability Dashboard: Provides a visual representation specifically measuring carbon footprint KPIs for the customer, helping them understand carbon emissions breakdown by mode, route, carrier. The dashboards are designed to scale to be granular enough to measure package-level emissions. The dashboard also provides the ability to track and control CO2 emissions across all modes of transportation (road, rail, ocean and air) and benchmark thirdparty carriers and routes with the least CO2 emissions.

Used tyres are processed and reused for road resurfacing

Reuse, recycle Crumb rubber in road resurfacing to help cut tyre waste in Tasmania The Tasmanian government is expanding the use of recycled rubber from truck tyres in road resurfacing this year as part of its commitment to waste reduction and fostering a circular economy. About 1.3 million tyres reach the end of their life each year in Tasmania, most of which end up in landfill or stockpiles. Some of these tyres are now being processed into crumb rubber and blended with bitumen for use as asphalt in the state road maintenance program. Crumb rubber has already been used on several resurfacing sites in the north of the state this summer, including on the Bass, East Tamar and West Tamar highways. Currently the tyres are processed into crumb rubber in Victoria before being blended with bitumen at Fulton Hogan’s plant in Launceston for use in road resurfacing. However, the government has committed $4 million to work with industry to establish a crumbing plant in Tasmania. The government will also provide $4 million over four years to assist industry through the transition to using crumb rubber in road resurfacing and ensuring there is no disruption to the roads program.

The Ford E-Transit should launch here soon

Ford E-Transit expected this year Ford’s iconic commercial hauler in electric guise is set to lob sometime this year

Scania Super wins 1000 Points Test The Super-based powertrain nailed its first comparative test in Europe, two months after the launch The new Scania Super-based powertrain has won Germany’s renowned ‘1000 Punkte’ (1000 Points) test. It was Scania’s fourth victory in a row in the European test. A Scania 460 R tractor took on the latest versions of what Volvo and MAN have to offer in a test where all-important aspects of modern-day long-haul trucks are assessed by a team of experienced international truck journalists. “This is the first confirmation from independent journalists that the Super-based powertrain we presented in Södertälje in November delivers as stated and has moved us and the transport efficiency Scania offers even further away from the competition,” said Scania Trucks senior VP Stefan Dorski. “The margins are typically narrow in these tests, but here the Scania Super powertrain was some 4% more fuel-efficient than the runner-up.” The 1000 Punkte is organised by German trade magazine Lastauto

Omnibus and the results will eventually be published in up to 12 European trade magazines. For the 2021/22 test, the organisers stipulated a gross train weight of 40 tonnes, medium-sized sleeper cabs and up to 480hp (358kW). Scania’s average diesel consumption on the test track was 27.1L/100km, followed by Volvo (28.2L/100km) and MAN (29.8L/100km). When the six different sections of the test (cab, driving, powertrain/ performance, fuel consumption, cost/operational cost, safety) were put together, Scania had earned 947.3 points out of the 1,000 potential points available. “From Scania’s side we see these comparison tests as a part of our product development process, as well as a confirmation of what we have achieved. “All kinds of customers are using this information when making up their minds since they get a check on the traits we claim from independent experts,” said Dorski.

Ford E-Transit, the electric version of the Blue Oval’s iconic commercial van, is now shipping to US customers, with the Australian release expected midway through this year. The popular E-Transit already has more than 10,000 orders from businesses of all sizes and Ford says it is working on ways to increase production. The all-new E-Transit is produced at Kansas City assembly plant – Ford’s first US plant to assemble both batteries and all-electric vehicles in-house. “E-Transit is a testament to the fact that an electric commercial fleet is no longer a vision of tomorrow, but a productivityboosting modern reality,” said Kumar Galhotra, president of The Americas and international markets group, Ford Motor Company. E-Transit is part of Ford’s more than US$30 billion (AU$42 billion) investment in electrification through to 2025. By the end of next year, Ford says it will have the global capacity to produce 600,000 battery electric vehicles annually, which includes 200,000-plus Mustang Mach-E SUVs and 150,000 F-150 Lightning trucks. The company says it is now working on ways to increase E-Transit production. E-Transit is designed for work with available features like Pro Power Onboard – which turns the vehicle into a mobile generator with up to 2.4 kilowatts of power. Expectations are that the 2022 Ford E-Transit will arrive in Australia in Q3 2022 but, with supply chain and logistics issues still hampering most industries around the globe, that may change.

With a design that focuses on ride and handling, luxury, materials, innovation and technology, the new model is one of a series of Ram Trucks uniquely developed with right hand drive for the Australian market. Powered by a 6.7-litre inline 6 Cummins turbodiesel, the 3500 delivers 276kW and 1,152Nm, allowing for a max braked towing capacity of up to eight tonnes. Its two-stage longitudinal leaf solid axle allows for a payload of up to 1,724kg. “The all-new 3500 completes the task we set ourselves at the start of 2021: to deliver a full range of fit-for-purpose vehicles for the Australian consumer,” said Ram

Trucks Australia national manager Jeff Barber. “The 3500 is a remarkable vehicle that cements our product offering in 2021. Only Ram Trucks Australia can deliver such a vehicle thanks to our robust and detailed planning, development, remanufacturing, and testing program in conjunction with our local and global partners including Stellantis.” The 3500 Laramie now sits atop a range of Ram trucks, beginning with the 1500 Express Quad at $79,950 and moving up through the express crew cab, Warlock II, 1500 Laramie and Limited variants and recent 2500 Laramie. The aforementioned solid axle is the main difference between the 3500 and 2500 Laramie. It allows for almost double the payload in the 3500 while also increasing the maximum rear axle load by about 700kg.

Mazda releases new models

Interior of the Mazda BT-50 SP

Pricing announced for brand-new Mazda BT-50 SP and 1.9-litre models Mazda says its new Mazda BT-50 range, now available in Australia with a new powertrain and two new grades, is now available to a wider variety of ute buyers. Mazda Australia managing director Vinesh Bhindi said the update and availability of the model boosts appeal for the company’s premium utility vehicle. “Giving customers a diverse and comprehensive product offer is a hallmark of the Mazda business,” he said. “We know how important personalisation is for our customers, particularly when it comes to the utility segment. The addition of a new powertrain, a new entry grade and a stylish new high grade in the SP, with ready availability of stock, gives our customers more opportunity to find their right vehicle sooner.” Mated to the new 1.9-litre turbodiesel powerplant with automatic

transmission, the XS grade opens the Mazda BT-50 range at $33,550 list price for the 4x2 single cab chassis. The XS is also available as a 4x2 or 4x4 dual cab pickup, priced at $42,490 and $51,110, respectively. Available in three styles (4 x 2 single cab chassis, 4 x 2 dual cab pickup and 4 x 4 dual cab pickup), the BT-50 XS’s four-cylinder turbo-diesel generates 110kW and a 350Nm torque peak and is capable of towing up to three tonnes. All models feature a sixspeed automatic transmission. Mazda BT-50 XS 4x2 models ride on steel wheels, with key equipment otherwise being identical to the existing three-litre XT. This means a strong focus on advanced safety features and integrated connectivity technologies to get the job done, says Mazda. At the top end, black and grey exterior features give a sporty appeal to the SP, which starts at $62,990

for the three-litre turbo-diesel equipped 4x4 dual cab pickup in manual and $65,990 for the automatic option. This model also introduces the SP badge to Mazda’s utility vehicle for the first time. Positioned above the BT-50 GT dual cab pickup, the factoryproduced BT-50 SP includes heated front seats and an auto-dimming interior mirror, like the GT, but in addition also has features such as metallic grey roof rails, gloss black exterior mirrors and door handles, satin black 18-inch wheels, and a manually operated black roller tonneau cover, amongst others. BT-50 SP is powered by the current three-litre turbocharged diesel four-cylinder engine, producing 140kW and 450Nm. Exclusively available in 4 x 4 dual cab pickup form, the BT-50 SP comes with a choice of six-speed manual or automatic transmissions.

Diagnostics: Regulatory Round

New guidelines to enhance road safety NHVR is continuing to support industry safety with updates to Code of Practice guidelines Partnering with industry on safety initiatives is one of the best ways the NHVR can improve safety for drivers, the broader industry and all Australian road users. One of our safety initiatives that we’ve recently updated is the NHVR’s Guidelines for Preparing and Registering Industry Codes of Practice. The updated guidelines provide more resources to assist industry to coordinate, compile and draft the information required to develop a specific Code of Practice. We’ve also simplified the risk management criteria to ensure it focuses only on the key information required to meet the needs of operators and supply chain businesses. Importantly, the new process has a much greater focus on a working partnership between industry and the NHVR. Through this partnership, industry representatives will bring industry knowledge and experience to the table, ensuring there is broad consultation and input. The NHVR will facilitate working groups and progress reporting and will undertake most of the drafting work. This new working partnership will produce Codes of Practice that comply with the guidelines and help industry manage safety in practical ways. Codes of Practice can be useful tools in assisting sectors of the heavy vehicle industry to meet their Chain

of Responsibility (CoR) provisions and ensure the safety of their transport activities. They do this by providing information about the risks associated with heavy vehicle transport and recommendations for a range of measures that can be implemented to eliminate or minimise those risks. The Guidelines were first introduced in 2017 and led to the development of the Master Code in 2018. The Master Code was jointly developed by the Australian Logistics Council and Australian Trucking Association and approved by the NHVR for all individuals and businesses involved in the heavy vehicle industry. It addressed the risks associated with four core responsibilities of CoR, including speed compliance, fatigue management, vehicle standards and mass dimension and loading. It was a great example of collaboration between the industry, industry representatives and the NHVR, and is still a very important document despite the changes in technology and systems over the past four years.

Almost five years on from the release of the first Guidelines, the latest version will continue to support industries to progress their own Codes of Practice, which address the full range of risks specific to their particular task. I’m pleased to say there are currently several industry groups collaborating with the NHVR to transition their draft codes to comply with the new guidelines. These industries range from cranes and forestry, to waste and recycling or moving grapes for the wine industry. Importantly, the revised guidelines allow the NHVR and industry representatives to contribute according to their capabilities. And while safety is the primary task of a Code of Practice, it can be so much more. Based on practical industry experience and knowledge, a registered code of practice should also improve efficiency and enable businesses that work together to develop compatible systems and procedures. It again demonstrates that a safe heavy vehicle industry is a productive heavy vehicle industry.

Iveco boosts X-Way servicing offer All prime movers included in the deal After announcing its intention to import all models and exit local manufacture, Iveco is offering two years/250,000km of servicing on its X-Way models. For a limited time, it is including two years or 250,000km – whichever comes first – of servicing (see terms and conditions from Iveco) for customers who purchase new X-Way prime mover models. The truck maker says the offer applies to all prime movers, including 6x4 AD, AT and AS variants, as well as the recently released B-Double model. The prime mover range is equipped with 11- and 13-litre Euro 6 engines, with three power options: 460hp (343kW) and 2,150Nm; 510hp (380kW) and 2,300Nm; and the range-topping 550hp (410kW) with 2,500Nm, as featured in the new AS 550 B-Double. Other driveline benefits include fitment of the HiTronix 16-speed automated manual transmission, rear eight-bag electronically controlled air suspension, as well as Meritor differentials with driver-controlled locks. Safety equipment across the X-Way prime mover product line-up includes electronic braking system with brake assistance system, electronic stability program, hill hold, adaptive cruise control, and

advanced emergency braking system, as well as daytime running lights and an extended catwalk. Additional optional safety equipment can also be specified. For fleet buyers, the X-Way range is also equipped with Iveco Telematics as standard, and includes a complementary 12-month program subscription, allowing them to monitor all facets of vehicle and driver performance. Iveco Group head of network, product and marketing, ANZ, Ella Letiagina, said the X-Way prime mover range was ideal for a wide selection of inter and intrastate applications. “With a full gamut of safety features, three cabin choices, three Euro 6

engine options and GCM ratings of 60 and 70 tonnes, X-Way prime movers are well suited to both single trailer and B-Double work,” Letiagina continued. “The Iveco range is also highly regarded for its comfort, low fuel use and general low whole of life benefits – this offer further adds to the trucks’ appeal with a complementary servicing element, which we know will be well received by buyers. “We have X-Way prime movers in stock and ready for work, which will also appeal to fleets who are having issues in meeting the increased demand of a growing freight task.”

UD Quon is showing strong performance in the 8x4 market

UD Quon 8X4 sales strong

Eaton’s customisable low-voltage electrical components fulfil growing power and control requirements for multiple applications

Competitive 8x4 segment sees Quon with a 34% stake UD says Quon 8x4 is proving to be a vocational heavy hitter for Australian transport operators as sales records tumble locally. With the option of both eight- and 11-litre engines, a class leading 12-speed automated transmission, or a six-speed Allison automatic, latest sales results indicate that the eight-wheeler Quon is capable of squaring up to the competition in a hotly contested market segment. UD Trucks saw in the new year with record heavy duty market share of 4.7%, however in the 8x4 segment, that share accounts for 34%. Since its Australian launch in 2020, UD says the Quon 8x4 has steadily won friends around the country, not only in tipper and agitator roles, but also in more diverse applications such as livestock transport, heavy tilt tray, waste and general freight, among others. “It’s clear that the UD Quon is striking a chord with Australian buyers that really do want the best combination of ultimate dependability, integrated safety and productivity,” said Lauren Downs, VP, UD Trucks Australia. “Feedback regarding customer satisfaction has never been better across our entire product range. “As 2022 continues to gather pace we are really excited by the prospect of welcoming new customers to the UD brand and family so they can experience the entire gamut of product, services and support on offer. “I’m very pleased to see UD Trucks continue to flourish and grow here in Australia and I have no doubt that this will continue throughout the coming year.”

Eaton unveils low-voltage components The range can be integrated into a vehicle’s existing architecture based on customer demands Power management company Eaton unveiled its new range of low-voltage electrical components recently. The products fulfil growing power and control requirements, including conversion, protection and distribution for commercial vehicles and off-highway applications, the company states. The technologies are designed for multiple segments, including commercial vehicles as well as military, construction and agriculture applications. “We make it easy for customers by offering a full line of low-voltage electric technologies,” said Eaton’s eMobility North America VP and GM Pratik Trivedi. “There are competitors that provide those products individually, but we supply a full line of commercial vehicle and offhighway electrical solutions.” Eaton’s lightweight, low-voltage technologies are designed to withstand harsh environments. The customisable portfolio can be easily integrated into a vehicle’s existing architecture based on customer demands.

Eaton’s electrified components make transitioning from hydraulics to electronics easy. For example, if a high-volume seeder that requires 56 volts is joined with a 12-volt architecture, Eaton’s DC-DC power conversion circuit protection box steps up the power from the tractor to 56 volts to operate the seeder, all while eliminating the traditional tangle of hydraulic lines. Eaton’s line of OMNEX Trusted Wireless mobile control solutions for heavy machinery and field operations provide a greater degree of on-site safety and efficiency. The wireless controllers operate heavy machinery, such as vacuum trucks, tow trucks, concrete mixers and cranes. Remote operation provides several benefits, including reducing the amount of personnel on-site and keeping workers out of harm’s way. “We offer intelligent features that differentiate us from competitors,” said Trivedi. “Our electrical products are designed to work together to provide a systems solution for our customers.”

Cargowise and WWA in data integration move

Shipments can be optimised based on automated, digital data streams

Real-time connections between all parties can help freight forwarders navigate global supply chain operations more efficiently The digital connection between CargoWise and WorldWide Alliance (WWA) systems now incorporates multiple integrated data streams to deliver a better user experience for CargoWise operators, WWA members and their customers. WorldWide Alliance (WWA) is a network of the world’s leading non-vessel-operating common carriers (NVOCCs) providing lessthan-container-load (LCL) cargo solutions, and CargoWise is a cloudbased logistics execution software developed by WiseTech Global. “The collaboration between WWA and WiseTech is evidence of how beneficial real-time, integrated connections are to all parties,” said WWA MD Kristian Larsen. “As the shipping industry continues to look for solutions to alleviate capacity constraints, there is an increasing need for logistics providers to adapt and be flexible, moving quickly to provide end customers with the most efficient, integrated, and costeffective LCL solution.” The new system further expands CargoWise and WWA’s integration

of key rate and operational data through inclusion of booking requests and confirmations, shipping instructions, sailing schedules, cargo tracking events, and rates. “Our direct connection with CargoWise means we are reaching our global network of customers and providing a push-and-pull of vital data sets and unrestricted message exchanges that promote automation, visibility and operational excellence – all on the one platform,” said WWA IT director Eric D’Souza. Neil Barni, who founded CargoSphere and whose WiseTech Global business unit designed the digital rate connector says a combined system will improve supply chain efficiency. “The benefits of combining realtime rates, schedules, bookings and tracking on the one system, and accessible with just a few mouse clicks, means freight forwarders are able to navigate the complexity of the global supply chain in a more efficient and time sensitive way,” said Barni. The integration allows mutual customers of CargoWise and WWA

to use CargoWise to quote and operationalise shipments based on automated, digital data streams that originate from the WWA system, providing a single source of data with no manual re-entry, he added. “Data quality throughout the lifecycle of a shipment is critical. “CargoWise leverages industrytested algorithms and business intelligence to optimise outcomes for its customers. “We’ve expanded the integration to provide CargoWise users with access to on-demand contract rates directly from WWA or to full data sets of negotiated rates. “Together with a real-time audit process and interactive notification function, customers can view large volumes of amended rates and provide immediate electronic feedback to WWA on rate approvals. “We continue to focus on growing the CargoWise ecosystem and realising our vision of connecting the global ocean carriers and global LCL carriers to their customers, enhancing collaboration on our leading CargoWise platform, and reducing operational pain points.”

News Latest transmission features a “maintenance-free clutch”

Paccar debuts auto 18-speed transmission Kenworth has introduced the Paccar TX-18 and Paccar TX-18 Pro automated transmissions for heavy on-highway and select off-highway vocational applications Contenders will battle it out in April

Kenworth technician of the year Melbourne final to be fought out through tests in April Paccar Australia has announced the finalists for the 2022 Kenworth Technician of the Year. The program has been developed to acknowledge and reward technicians in the Paccar dealer network for their technical skills, product knowledge and professionalism. “Once again, this year’s program also includes invitations to our ‘Rising Stars’ who are our top performing apprentices,” the truckmaker said. This year’s Kenworth finalists are: • Lachlan Tate – Brown and Hurley Darra (apprentice) • Michael Jones – Twin City Truck Centre Wodonga • Jason Cooper – Brown and Hurley Coffs Harbour • Mark O’Dwyer – Kenworth DAF Hallam • Jackson Langdon – Twin City Truck Centre Wodonga. “These technicians are all invited to Melbourne to compete in the Finals in April, where a series of practical and written tests will challenge these finalists and determine the Kenworth Technician of the Year!” Paccar said. “With more than $30K in cash and prizes available to the Kenworth and DAF finalists, it’s going to be a great event and we look forward to sharing the results with you.”

Both 18-speed transmissions build upon the efficiency of the Paccar TX-12, which the truck makers says was designed to be the most efficient on-highway automated transmission. The Paccar TX-18 offers additional capability for heavy on-highway use for applications, such as heavy haul transport. The Paccar TX-18 Pro adds enhanced capabilities and unique features for extreme duty vocational applications and other select offhighway applications. The new transmissions are available with the Kenworth T680, T880 and W990 equipped with the Paccar MX-13 and Paccar MX-11 engines. Optimally engineered to operate with the Paccar MX engine platform, the new TX-18 and TX-18 Pro transmissions maximize the full potential of all MX engine ratings, with maximums of 510hp (380kW), 1,850lb-ft (2,508Nm) of torque capacity and 140,000 pounds (63 tonnes) of gross combination vehicle weight (GCVW). “Drivers will appreciate the versatility of the Paccar TX-18 and Paccar TX-18 Pro that deliver excellent low-speed manoeuvrability,” said Jim Walenczak, Kenworth assistant general manager for sales and marketing. “Both seasoned and new drivers will benefit from tailored configurations that help them get the job done, and new performance calibrations that expertly control transmission shift points.” The new 18-speed ratio provides smooth shifting and consistent performance in a wide range of operating applications. The TX-18

has three reverse gears, and TX-18 Pro has six, which pairs well with deep axle ratios. Multiple reverse gears allow for improved manoeuvrability around job sites. Both transmissions offer expanded high-capacity power take-off functionality with an eight-bolt bottom mount and four-bolt rear mount for a combined 160hp (119kW) capacity at 1,400 rpm. The transmissions are equipped with an internal oil temperature sensor. The sensor shows transmission temperatures on the in-cab 15-inch (38cm) digital display and provides driver notifications in situations causing excessive temperatures. The TX-18 and TX-18 Pro are standard with Kenworth’s driverfriendly column-mounted, righthand shifter. The shifter places gear selection and engine brake controls at the driver’s fingertips for enhanced ergonomics, comfort and overall performance. On-highway maintenance intervals are 500,000 miles (800,000km) or five years, and vocational intervals are 250,000 miles (400,000km) or three years for the TX-18 and TX-18 Pro. The transmissions utilise a maintenancefree clutch. The TX-18 and TX-18 Pro join Kenworth’s Paccar transmissions lineup, which include the Paccar TX-12 automated transmission for fuel efficient, on-highway applications and the Paccar TX-8 automatic transmission standard on Kenworth’s new medium-duty models.

Electric trucks sales up 193% in europe

Volvo takes the top spot in European sales of electric trucks

New statistics show that Volvo Trucks was the market leader for heavy all-electric trucks in Europe 2021 with a market share of 42% The international trucking industry is undergoing a transformation towards more sustainable transport as sales of heavy battery electric trucks are starting to pick up, with Europe in the lead. An increasing number of heavy all-electric trucks are now running in commercial traffic. Statistics from the market analysis group IHS Markit show that during 2021 a total of 346 electric trucks (≥16 tonnes) were registered in Europe – an increase of 193 per cent from 2020. Volvo Trucks has the largest market share at 42%. The countries in Europe with the most electric trucks registered (≥16 tonnes) are Switzerland, Norway, Sweden and The Netherlands.

“We are determined to drive the electric truck revolution and our market leading position in Europe is proof that we are doing just that,” said Roger Alm, president of Volvo Trucks. “Even if volumes are still low, we see rapidly growing interest, both in Europe, North America and in other parts of the world. In 2021 we have taken orders, including letters of intent to buy, for more than 1,100 trucks in over 20 countries. I’m convinced it’s becoming a key competitive advantage to offer electric, zero emission transports.” Volvo Trucks started serial production of electric trucks in 2019, as one of the very first truck brands in the world to do so. When production of the heavy duty all-electric models

Volvo FH, Volvo FM and Volvo FMX begins in Q3, Volvo will have the most complete electric line up in the global truck industry. Volvo has delivered electric vehicles to a wide range of customers in Europe, North America and Australia. The company’s target is that half of its total truck sales will be electric by 2030. “Clearly, these numbers show that we’re off to a very good start in sales,” said Alm. “With the broader electric truck line up, it will be possible to electrify nearly half of heavy road transports. This proportion will grow even larger as the distance that electric trucks can drive increases and the charging infrastructure for heavy trucks becomes further developed.”

News The results cover 16 commercial vans

ANCAP releases latest van rankings ANCAP has releases results of availability and performance of active safety system tests on commercial vans on the market The Australasian New Car Assessment Program’s (ANCAP’s) latest results release follows on from the inaugural van comparison results published in December 2020 and includes updated assessments of the Mercedes-Benz Vito and Iveco Daily, acknowledging specification upgrades introduced to the market since the initial comparison was released. This latest report also includes analysis of the LDV Deliver 9 and newly-released Hyundai Staria-Load – providing an up-to-date summary of collision avoidance specification and capability for a total of 16 commercial vans. “This analysis provides added value to fleet and commercial van operators as it extends beyond ANCAP’s traditional star rating program to shine a light on the active safety performance of an important segment,” said ANCAP CEO Carla Hoorweg. “Vans are a workplace. Their increased on-road exposure and frequent use in built-up urban areas means they interact with a large number of other vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists. It is essential that fleet and van operators are aware of the crash avoidance

capabilities and active safety features fitted to their vehicles. “To help fleet, business and private consumers make informed purchasing decisions across this section of the market we’ve assessed the performance of the advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) available across a range of commercial vans, and those results are now available in an updated quick-glance comparison report.” Setting a new benchmark for availability and performance of ADAS across the van market, the newly-released Hyundai Staria-Load performed very well in all areas and earned the first Platinum level of crash avoidance, with a score of 90%. Toward the other end of the scale, the modest active safety technology

fitted to the LDV Deliver 9 was put through its paces and delivered a Bronze score of 27%. Building on the results of the 2020 analysis, the updated MercedesBenz Vito (from January 2021) joins the Toyota HiAce and Ford Transit in achieving a Gold level of crash avoidance performance. The improved specification elevated the Vito’s score from 23% (Bronze) to 61% (Gold) through the standard inclusion of car, pedestrian and cyclist-detecting autonomous emergency braking, lane departure warning and blind spot monitoring systems. The Iveco Daily (from February 2021) has also since gained autonomous emergency braking (car-to-car), a driver monitoring system and seat belt reminders for the driver and passenger as standard, increasing its score from 6% (Not Recommended) to 24% (Bronze). Five vans retained their Silver ranking, four achieved Bronze and three remain as Not Recommended due to their lack of active safety systems. “The information provided in this latest comparison report highlights the differences in safety specification and the varying levels of active safety performance across van models. It is encouraging to see the full suite of active safety features now standard in a number of vans and we encourage brands to continue updating the safety specification of their vans as they would with passenger vehicles,” said Hoorweg. The updated Commercial Van Safety Comparison report is available on ANCAP’s website at: www.ancap.com.au/vans. The Hyundai StariaLoad earned the first Platinum level of crash avoidance

peaking over the phone from their busy site in Shepparton, in north Victoria’s Goulburn Valley, it’s all go for Sebastian Spadaro and his wife, Kristy, as they manage their used truck, trailer and construction equipment business Complete Trucks.

Complete Trucks offers a range of used trucks, trailers and construction equipment in Shepparton

A family-run business that has, on average, 30 to 40 trucks on site at a time, as well as an interstate low-loader operation, they are “keeping Australia moving”, Spadaro explained to Deals on Wheels. “We offer a broad range of services, from trucks to tippers, to tray trucks, curtainsiders and prime movers, etc. Complete Trucks is a licensed motor trader basically dealing with the sales of used trucks, from refurbishment to remarketing our assets to the industry’s market. “We stand behind the products we sell. Therefore, we handpick a lot of our stock, listen to the market’s needs and service it accordingly.”

Complete Trucks started off as a transport company around 2008/2009, which Spadaro worked at with his father, John Spadaro, carting goods. “My father passed away on the job back in 2014 and I basically took over the reins and moved forward, to honour the name,” Spadaro explained. Complete Trucks has been at its current site on Grahamvale Rd in Shepparton for a couple of years now, close to the A39 that runs up to Toowoomba, and Spadaro says it is an excellent spot to display his company’s stock. “It’s very broad, it’s very bold – we’ve really left a landmark in that particular spot,” he said. “We stand high behind our products. The products that we do put on display, they’re certainly well exposed and we’re very proud of that to be honest. We like to speak to the main brands that have proven themselves on the market.

DEALS Profile truck dealership, your reputation falls back to what you’re selling.” As well as offering parts and used trucks, Complete Trucks also undertakes modifications to accommodate truck bodies to specific customer needs, usually lengthening or shortening trays for different loads, all done on site in its workshop where four employees work alongside the husbandand-wife team. “Kristy’s starting to become the face of the business as such,” said Spadaro. “We’re planning on keeping up with the times and technology, because, you know, we’re doing it all for the future of our kids at the end of the day, so it’s important. “I certainly enjoy getting out and about and communicating with people, listening to their needs, helping where I can. Now, we offer a part delivery service with our own truck and it’s inspiring that we can be part of it all.” Making a MOVE A fantastic reflection of Complete Trucks’ community spirit is shown in its sponsorship of the new MOVE museum in Shepparton, which saw a revamp and expansion of the old Shepparton Motor Museum. Located on the southern approach to Shepparton, the Spadaros are one of several local transport families who helped fund the renovation. And, now, they have supplied a 1986 Kenworth to be put on display as well as funding a banner highlighting the

contribution John Spadaro made to the local industry. MOVE is one of Australia’s largest regional museums of collectibles, covering everything from bicycles, clothing and telephone technology to cars, bicycles, motorbikes and, of course, trucks. It was the trucking side of transport, and a group of local industry enthusiasts, that formed the catalyst for the museum’s evolution. “The Shepparton Motor Museum’s been around since about 2012,” explained MOVE executive officer Peter Hill when asked how the expansion came about. “It was a 1,200 square metre facility that had a number of local cars on display. In the background there was a group of local transport people who were looking at starting a truck museum to celebrate the rich history of transport in this region. The two got together in about 2017 and the spark was lit for the idea of MOVE. “The first thing we needed to do was to raise money locally before you go through levels of government to ask for sponsorship. “So, we went to local transport families and we asked for donations from each one of them. We managed to raise $1 million and, with that million, we went to state, federal and local governments, and we were able to get enough from grants and funding to complete a $6.2 million renovation, through Covid, which we opened in September 2021.” The initial 1,200 square metres was expanded to just under 10,000 square

metres and, despite the pandemic complicating travel plans, business has been booming. “Just prior to Christmas, the numbers that we were getting through the doors were where the business case said we’d be in four years’ time,” said Hill. “We’re really impressed with how strong the visitation has been and nearly 65% of visitors are visiting from more than 100km away from us, which is really good as well.” The drawcard A major draw for the museum has been the Kenworth Dealer Truck Pavilion, which houses around 30–35 prime movers and other commercial vehicles, which represent Shepparton’s role as a major transport hub. Pride of place amongst these gleaming machines are the stories of those who drove and cared for them. “We have an Avenue of Legends and they are the people we went to initially and asked for the funding that got us going,” said Hill. “So, in that area, each one of them has a

floor-to-ceiling banner, some photos of their business, the history of their business, and a quote from the owner.” Sponsored by Kenworth, Volvo and Freightliner, the three companies have donated trucks for the display, but there are also highly personal trucks donated by the families whose stories are being told, which now includes the Sparados’ 1986 Kenworth. “Complete Trucks were a great example of what we’re trying to celebrate here – a family business that’s grown from something pretty small to something that’s a significant business in the region,” explained Hill. “I mean, given the way things are with the lack of new trucks at the moment, Complete Trucks are certainly becoming a very popular business in the region! But the Spadaro family are well known in transport, have a good history in transport in this region, and Sebastian’s father, John, was a legend. “Sebastian recently told me that he wanted to come on board and get one of those banners and celebrate the history of the Spadaro family. So very, very important. Everyone in the legends are family businesses – there are really no multinational businesses in Shepparton.” With time marching on, Hill emphasised that it’s important to capture now the stories of those involved in the formation of Australia’s trucking industry, and transport in the local area, and preserve it for future generations. “A lot of these legends are in their 80s, and some have passed, so it’s really important I think that we’re getting their story and hearing their story – recording it not only for their families [but also visitors to the museum]. “It’s a really joyous thing to watch those guys stood in front of their family banner and celebrate the history. So, it’s very important that we’re capturing it now.” And it’s not just trucking families who are enjoying the striking trucks on display, with Hill saying that visitors who may have come to look at the cars end up drawn to these beasts of the road. “A lot of people I think would like to go and have a look at a truck – they’re a big, shiny, exciting-looking thing – but the last thing you’re going to do is pull up in a truck car park and start walking around a truck with a driver sleeping in the back. “So, this gives them that opportunity where

they can really get close to them. Again, there are stories around each one of the trucks – they can hear the history of the renovation or the history of the business, etc. It’s bringing people together.” If they fancy getting behind the wheel, there’s also a simulator where they can virtually drive a truck around Shepparton. “We put it in mainly for the kids, but we’re finding the fathers are quickly pushing their sons and daughters out of the way and jumping in and having a go themselves!” laughed Hill. “We try to change the collection every

three to four months. We need it fresh – we need people to come and look at what’s happening at MOVE, not come and say ‘that’s exactly the same as was it was last time it was here’. We want local people to have this as a destination not only for themselves but for their visitors when they come and have a look around Shepparton.” A personal story Spadaro, however, has no need for a simulator, with trucking blood coursing through his veins. For him, the museum not only has offered the opportunity to honour his father’s contributions to the industry, but the old school generation of truckies and their families in general. He says the renovation has been fantastic and that the museum reflects the goals of those who came before him. “Deadline, pride and mateship,” he says of the values of those who plied the roads back in the day. “Deadline – well everyone had a go, they made sure the load was in at a given time. The boys did it rough back then, given the road infrastructure was nothing like now, and the same with the trucks with their [low] horsepower and the lack of technology. “The pride and mateship – well everyone prided themselves on doing their best. You know, everyone would leave their depot on a Sunday afternoon and all of the mates would

gather together at the truck rest stops, have a meal together, have a laugh together, and never lacked in giving a helping hand. “If someone was struggling with a flat tyre or broken down, there was always someone there to pull up to give them a hand. So, they were different times, it really was. There was a lot more bonding due to the fact that we didn’t have the telephone technology – people always made the effort to gather together in certain places. “As for my father, he started in the early 80s with one truck. At his peak I think he ran about 50 or 60 trucks at one given time, doing interstate transport haulage. And he was well recognised by JNH Loading Agency, which was a Melbourne loading agency organising the structure of loading and subcontractors for the bigger companies. He was well known in the industry – pretty much known as a legend to be honest, and I believe his name should be a part of that museum and that’s why we’re funding a sponsorship towards the museum. “My father was a very, very inspiring person and basically I had a good teacher, no two ways about that. “The Kenworth that we’ve put in [to the museum] is a 1986 W model, so they’re very iconic in the Kenworth range, well recognised. Back in that era they were pretty much an iconic truck, even back then. As much as there are many different

brands, from Mack to Ford Lewisvilles as such, the Kenworth always had that upper edge in terms of holding together and parts availability, and they were here in Australia.” Asked why he chose that particular truck for the exhibition, Spadaro explained that having grown up around W model Kenworths, there’s a strong emotional attachment. “We bought that together,” he said of the Kenworth that is now adorning the Avenue of Legends. “Dad was still alive when we purchased that truck. It was a project that we were both doing up together. Unfortunately, he never got to see the finished result, so I hope everyone can see it.”

TO THE ROAD

Graham Brown, along with his daughter Cassie, has used his business nous to progress from a 3070 International to an eye-catching ‘Phantom purple’ Kenworth fleet, including a big T909 newcomer

121

he latest Kenworth T909 fleet acquisition for Moss Vale-based Graham Brown & Daughter Transport is a far cry from the single-drive 3070 International that set the wheels in motion many years ago. The early days saw Graham running the 3070 from a rented property in the NSW Southern Highlands town, carting fresh hides from the Berrima abattoir into Botany, five days per week. “I always wanted to have my own truck,” said Graham. “I saw the truck advertised and came and inspected it and bought it.” The trucking of the hides went well for Graham, however, running it from the rental property he was living in did not. “I ended up getting a bit of a hard time from the owner for backing the prime mover onto his concrete, which eventually led me to buy a block in Moss Vale with a real dump of a house on it,” he recalled. Ultimately the house was renovated over the years to a very presentable home in what is essentially an industrial area, but with no landlords complaining about trucks on his concrete. Sheds have since been added to the property, which now serves as the base of operations for Graham Brown & Daughter Transport. Over the years, Graham operated a variety of trucks, including an International T2670 with an 8V-71 Detroit Diesel in it, a Ford Louisville (which spontaneously combusted while towing a trailer for Finemore’s) and a couple of Western Stars, before finally settling on the Kenworth brand. Originally from Goulburn, Graham readily admits to not gaining a good education as a young kid. “I left school at a very young age to go to work before the government stepped in and forced my return to school. The return to school saw me sit in the classroom and not learn a lot, waiting out my time before I could once again return to work,” Graham explained. It’s this lack of education and the limited job opportunities attached to it that Graham cites as his driving influence to buy his own truck.

The single truck model worked well for Graham for many years before the breakdown of his marriage. It threw a metaphorical spanner in the works, both on the personal and business front. “When my [then] wife left [whom he says he still gets on with really well with], that left me without someone to do all the bookwork, which I was really no good at,” he said. “My sister said to my daughter, Cassie, ‘you’ll have to do it’. At this point I was still running just one truck and the formation of Graham Brown & Daughter Transport took place. Cassie was just 13-years-old.” With the new admin and accounts girl appointed, Graham looked after the on-road aspect of the business while Cassie took care of the admin, accounting and bookwork while notably maintaining her school studies.

“Everyone we dealt with back then were really helpful and honest with Cassie. One business even ringing up on one occasion to tell me that Cassie had overpaid their invoice,” he said. “Cassie would walk up to bank after school and deposit cheques for the business. “On one occasion in the early days, Cassie went into the bank to deposit a $20,000 cheque. The teller looked at this young girl dressed in her school uniform and clearly wondered how she had come to have a cheque for 20K in her possession. A glance over to the manager provided reassurance to the teller: ‘That’s Cassie, she’s ok,’ the manager explained.” As Graham tells it, during a lesson in high school, Cassie’s class were learning how to write a cheque. Cassie came home later that

day and proudly exclaimed that, without being shown by the teacher, she was the only student in the class that already knew how to do it. Going on to elect business studies in years 11 and 12 of high school, Cassie says she found her previous business experience held her in good stead for the courses, and she found a renewed interest in the subject. Graham operated just the single truck for many years before adding a second truck, which was operated by Debbie Rothwell. For around 11 years, Graham and Rothwell worked side-by-side in business and in life, wearing out more than a few Kenworth trucks in that time, before the challenges of life on the road saw them part ways. Phantom purple Over the following years the business grew to operate an exclusively Kenworth fleet, transporting temperature-sensitive freight on east coast interstate routes. The latest new

Kenworth T909 truck, finished in the striking ‘Phantom purple’ colour scheme, brings the current fleet tally to eight trucks and refrigerated trailers. The instantly recognisable colour scheme came to be after Graham purchased a Kenworth from Hallam Trucks in Victoria. The truck, a cancelled order, had been painted in Phantom purple and had been specced up to a standard that was almost perfect for his needs. A couple of alterations and the first purple truck entered the fleet. All trucks since that purchase wear this same colour paint – Cassie insisted upon it. The new truck is certainly a standout example of the Kenworth Bayswater engineering reputation, but the build didn’t stop there. A combination of work completed by both PearlCraft Steering Wheels and RC Metalcraft make this 909 a bit different. The purple paint contrasts against the brilliant white of the new 48-foot, 24-pallet FTE refrigerated trailer – eye-catching to say the least. The Cummins X-15 fitted truck drives through an 18-speed Eaton-Fuller Roadranger

manual transmission, enhanced by a spacious sleeper berth equipped with an Icepack for the hot summer nights and a bushman upright fridge to keep the drinks and rations cold and handy. Immediately noticeable is the PearlCraft work. Cab access grab handles, steering wheel, gearstick knob and cover have all had the purple pearl affect added to give the truck a unique personalisation. Heritage dash gauges were added, which required the removal of the gauges, which were then sent to Melbourne, disassembled and heritagestyle paper added to the gauge faces. Being built in the 50th anniversary year of Kenworth in Australia, the truck features the gold highlighted Kenworth bug logos on the bonnet and sides. A Bar Up bullbar sits out front for protection and provides a secure mounting platform for the four Narva LED spotlights. Seven-inch exhaust pipes reach skyward, dispersing spent gases. A bunch of stainless accessories have been added, including tank wraps and customised Graham Brown & Daughter Transport front monogrammed mudguards.

With the exception of a couple of specific items, Graham said the staff at RC Metalcraft basically have an open book when it comes to accessorising his trucks. “They know what we want and like, and never disappoint. I don’t even see the bill. I probably don’t want to either,” Graham laughed. Entrusted with the operation of the new truck is Nick Shaw, a long-term employee of the business with almost five years’ service behind him. Shaw cut his teeth in trucks, firstly as a mechanic before jumping behind the wheel in a few varied roles, including inter-capital changeovers before joining Graham and Cassie’s business. Initially handed the keys to a Kenworth T609, Shaw then progressed into a T909 Director, then another T909, which he has been in service for three-years now, clocking up 700,000km in that time. Shaw has just now moved into the new T909 seen here in this feature. To be honest, I looked at both of the T909s that Shaw had most recently been working in and it was hard to tell the difference. He keeps his allocated trucks immaculately presented. Three years on, his old truck (if you could call it that) stills looks as good as it did on day one. Shaw seems to be one of those blokes that sees truck driving as a lifestyle as much as a job. I think it was the Kenworth truck printed on the doona cover of the hospital-cornered bed he had made up that tipped me off. “Mum reckons I have OCD, but I just like to keep my stuff clean and tidy. As long as you keep what you’re driving clean, that’s what matters. It’s a reflection of yourself,” Shaw said. He goes on to detail a typical week (if there is such a thing). “Most of the time I will start my week on a

Sunday and do maybe three Brisbanes a week, or two Brisbanes then a Melbourne, and finish up the week at the yard in Moss Vale. It’s then I will wash my truck and finish up,” he explained. “Depending on driving hours, I may start every second week on a Monday to remain compliant. If I’m in Sydney during the week I will usually take the truck home and have my rest break there. I live in a nice quiet rural area and can park the truck near my house. “Working with Graham is great. He’s out on the road all week and still works like he’s an 18-year-old. I don’t think I’ll ever find a better boss than Graham.” Non-tech savvy An increasing issue for non-tech-savvy operators, old or young, is technology and its utilisation in the transport space for inductions at delivery sites, compliance and border crossings. This technology can have major impacts to those not skilled in its operation. A lot of workplaces visited by drivers take it for granted that every driver has a smart phone and is skilled in its operation, which is often not the case. Cassie says that Graham is neither computer savvy nor good with the phone. “Dad can make a call and send a text with an iPhone but that’s about it,” she explained. Graham backed this up by openly saying that his limited education and non-understanding of technical wizardry at times places him in difficult and embarrassing situations while at delivery or pick-up points. After an extremely rare holiday for both Graham and Cassie, they both realised upon their return that there could be value in reducing their workload by employing additional staff to share the load. “With increased freight movements from now

DEALS Profile eight trucks it was getting a bit much for both of us,” Cassie said. “Dad was driving fulltime and trying to organise and allocate loads from the road and I also had my own career to fulfil. It became a bit too much for both of us, so it was decided to employ an operations person to lighten the load on us both a little.” The chosen operations assistant was Peter Templar, an old mate of Graham’s from his Finemore Transport days. After employing Templar in the role, Graham Brown & Daughter Transport increased the fleet size, with Templar being instrumental in setting up the business to run on performancebased standards (PBS). He eventually moved interstate, with the role then filled by Amanda Sloane in 2017. “Amanda now handles the invoicing and allocations for us, which she then runs by Graham for confirmation, which is great because he never writes anything down – it’s all kept in his head,” Cassie said. “I’m now focused on the accounting and payroll aspects of the business, which has really freed up my time.” Inspirational admission When I conduct interviews, sometimes they can start out a little tense, with some people becoming nervous about the fact that they are being interviewed by someone in the media.

This, for the most part, settles down quickly when they realise that I’m essentially just a knockabout truckie who can string a few words together to produce an interesting (I hope) yarn. Inevitably these interviews quite quickly turn into just a casual chat with another truck driver. Barriers soon fall down and, sometimes, certain aspects of discussions arise that I feel should not be printed. To be honest, I was going to skirt around with carefully worded paragraphs, Graham admitting he was not well educated. I’m not in the business of trying to embarrass anyone. But, in this instance, I had my mind changed for me. Following a phone call from Graham a few days after our interview, I was compelled to include this aspect of our conversation, at Graham’s request. His reasoning was as follows. “I’m happy to admit that I didn’t get a good education and this has made getting where I am in business difficult, but not impossible,” Graham said. “I may not know what the exact costs of running all my trucks per kilometre but, over the years, I’ve learned to recognise what’s a good rate and what isn’t. “I hope that someone else might get inspiration from what I’ve done to realise that it can be done, with consistent effort and hard work.”

I Kelsie McDonald is a long way from her horse breaking days. It’s now about the loving husband, the happy children and her T904

Even though I may only see them as ‘before’ shots of a BLT, Kelsie loves working with the pigs and their personalities

’m a pretty game individual, I mean, I’ve drunk milk two days after the expiry date, I’ve gone swimming only 15 minutes after eating and I’ve even agreed to the Telstra terms and conditions without listening to the whole diatribe. We can all agree, I live life on the edge. However, using the phrase ‘happy as a pig in shit’ when starting my third women in transport story could be risky if anyone misconstrued the intent. Before anyone makes any assumptions or complains about my choice of description, let me explain exactly why this phrase is extremely fitting for this story. Firstly, when I caught up with Kelsie McDonald, the subject of this article, near Tailem Bend in South Australia, she was busy loading her Kenworth T904 with a full buffet breakfast-worth of pigs. They seemed pretty happy to me. Secondly, listening to McDonald from the passenger seat of her 909, she was ‘happy as a pig in shit’ to share with me her journey from animal-loving country girl to jillaroo, to farrier, to triple road train driver and, now, a happy wife and mum of three who happens to cart pigs around South Australia. My first question was to ask her why

she’d agreed to do this story with me. It was her husband, Kane, that put her name forward, but we all know that the wife has the final say and could have overridden him. So, I asked, why? “The biggest thing for me is to see more women get behind the wheel,” stated McDonald. “Don’t be afraid of it, don’t be afraid to give it a crack. If I can do it, why can’t they?” McDonald is a strong advocate for women in transport and a fine example of what can be achieved with the right drive and determination; finding her feet in the male dominated cattle carting arena. Her mantra of ‘work smarter, not harder’ has seen her overcome many of the regular, ‘Oh, a woman can’t do that’ situations and she’s built an enviable reputation among the turd herders. Born and bred in Western Australia, McDonald grew up on stations and farms, as that was the family way. School was a requirement, but weekends and holidays were spent in the wide-open WA countryside. “I was doing what every kid loves to do, be on the farm. Cattle and horses were my life,” she recalled. The outback lifestyle resonated with McDonald. She loved getting her hands dirty

The Mack Valueliner nicknamed ‘Grumpy Bitch’ was the truck that McDonald cut her teeth on

The truck that really started McDonald’s Kenworth crush. The big bonnet and three trailers were pure heaven

McDonald was able to scrounge up a rare shot of the little UD she spent hours in on the farm. It may not have been much but it was a start

and found herself drawn to all manner of animals. Station work was inevitable; the only surprise after she completed her schooling at Catholic Agricultural College was that she didn’t go straight onto an outback farm. Instead, and this is a little serendipitous, she went to work in a piggery. It was in this job that one of the attributes that are key to her successes came to the fore – resilience. Fresh from college, most at the piggery didn’t see the petite young lady lasting six months. “I was at the piggery for about 18 months,” she told me. “That was about 12 months longer than anyone thought I would last.” McDonald covered every role possible at the piggery, surprising and impressing with her determination. If people thought she couldn’t do it, she would find a way. Again, it was her ‘work smarter, not harder’ approach.

The time spent between that first job in the piggery and ending up in an old Mack Valueliner is basically every cowboy’s ideal resume. There was riding and breaking horses west of Meekatharra and getting them ready for and racing them in the Landor bush races. There were some cold mornings milking cows in Victoria and some humid evenings on a North Queensland feedlot. McDonald even had her own farrier business near Perth for a while. Really, anything that requires an Akubra you could be sure McDonald has immersed herself in it. “I do get itchy feet,” admitted McDonald, but emphasised that every move was a step up and chance to learn something new. Dirty work It was the time spent shoeing horses for private owners and pony clubs that really made her appreciate the outback life. She had learnt those skills on her uncle’s station and, in 2011, she shut up shop and packed up and headed back there to envelop herself in her favoured lifestyle. “I went back to the station, back into what I knew, back into what I was good at: breaking horses in, chasing cattle, working with cattle, fixing windmills, fixing cars, just getting my hands dirty, basically,” she said. Part of what she was good at involved having to drive the station’s old Isuzu body truck with the horse crates on the back. She had her HR licence but left the big truck work to the station’s designated driver. After spending time in the old Isuzu, McDonald got rewarded with an upgrade to the station’s bogie drive UD. “It was an upgrade, not really in size, though. It had air-conditioning and power windows so that was the upgrade,” she jokingly told me.

The truck driving life wasn’t completely new to McDonald by the way. Her dad, Doug, had spent a fair bit of time behind the wheel himself. In between running farms and stations, Doug would be behind the wheel of fuel tankers, grain trucks, whatever was needed, and never stopping. It’s that work ethic that’s flowed down to MacDonald and had her defining a 40-hour week as a parttime job. When the station’s full-time truck driver announced he was leaving, McDonald put her hand up to go and upgrade her licence to an MC, thus allowing her to drive the station’s road train. She was enjoying driving, loved working with cattle, so figured she may as well see what happens when she combined the two. At the time the station’s cattle carting was done with a 36.5-metre road train comprised of a two-deck lead trailer and single-deck dog trailer, all sitting in behind another UD. Not exactly a super trucker experience but it was enough to light the fire in Kelsie. “Basically, I fell in love. I fell in love with carting cattle and fell in love with driving road trains from that moment on,” she said. I’ll be honest, falling in love with driving road trains I can understand. It’s easy to do. Falling in love with driving road trains when you start in a UD? There is something pure there. Over the next couple of years her experience and her love of driving grew. She spent as much time behind the wheel as she could. Any

excuse to back under that second trailer would leave you staring at a McDonald-shaped dust cloud as she raced for the driver’s door. It’s inevitable that any truckie after some time with two trailers behind will want to progress to three and McDonald was no exception. Her whole life had been a progression of upskilling and she’d had her little UD in and out of some pretty tough spots. On the station alone you had river crossings, creek crossings, sand, rocks the size of your front wheel, bulldust holes … you name it. All of that while, most often, loaded with cattle. “The hardest thing is finding someone that will give you a go, someone that will give younger, less experienced people a go,” she said as she recalled her first attempts at trying to find triple road train driving work. Her break came courtesy of the transport company the station used regularly for its livestock movements. Obviously, there’s only so much stock the station could get on the UD, meaning most of the work went to a small three-truck family business called Greenfields Contracting. When McDonald heard one of the drivers was leaving, she approached the owners, Richard and Joanne Greenfield, and let it be known she was extremely keen to take on the job.

Cranking the old loading ramp by hand. Modern push button ramps aren’t a luxury MacDonald gets in her line of work

“It took a little bit of convincing,” McDonald admitted. “They were a bit worried about how I was going to do things like the tyres and the heavily manual side of things.” With the backing of one of Greenfield’s other drivers and a ‘give her a crack, dad’ nudge from their daughter, they offered her the job when the other driver finished up. Rear view September 14, 2015 is the date McDonald classes as the beginning of her road train career. It was her first solo run for Greenfields Contracting. Although it was still only a double train, it was her official beginning. “I got sent with a road train of hay up to one of the stations in the boss’s old Mack Valueliner. ‘Grumpy Bitch’ was her name,” recalled McDonald with a massive grin. Upon returning, McDonald spent the next four weeks two-up with Steve, one of the company drivers. Sharing a big 9-0 with three stock trailers in two, the two-up experience allowed them both to make some big miles while giving McDonald some invaluable experience and advice from the welltravelled Steve. She still recalls the first trip with Steve and three trailers of cattle. “I remember looking in the mirror and thinking: ‘Holy shit there’s trailers 50m behind ya,’” she said. She also admitted she learnt pretty quick not to watch the mirrors all the time. “If you watch them, you’re worse, ‘cause you try to correct yourself all the time. You want to be aware, but not watch,” she advised. After a month, Steve jumped back in his truck and McDonald got her first triple load on her own. “It was 18 decks of steers to Broome. We loaded late in the arvo, we had to get there as quick as we were able to,” she recalled. “I think that first trip Richard realised I could pull my own weight. I hope he realised he’d made a good decision giving me a go.” Another realisation that came from that first trip, once the steers were unloaded in Broome, was a bit of an epiphany for her. “I felt like I’d found my little place in the world.” There was no looking back after that, no mirror watching pun intended. McDonald was loving the fact she was still working with

cattle, just at a different side of it. For the next three years she steered her big 9-0 around Western Australia. Moving cattle during the season and in the off months it would be hay, fertiliser, grain – whatever kept the wheels turning. McDonald’s reputation for getting the job done grew alongside her experience. So much so that, when Greenfields contracting decided to downsize in 2018, the owners who bought the crates and the work were adamant that Kelsie went with the crates. Sure, she grizzled a little to me at having to relinquish her beloved 9-0 for a Super-liner, but the lure of the work outweighed that. McDonald was not only managing the job, she was flourishing. “I was doing all my own tyres, replacing drives and steers myself,” she said. This was again her ‘work smarter, not harder’ philosophy. She sure as hell wasn’t a ponytailed Chris Hemsworth able to throw tyres around like Maltesers in a cinema. But she didn’t let that stop her. She found a way to get the job done. Her reputation was growing and respected among those on the road. Yes, the infamous cattle-driving chick in the ugg boots was becoming very well known. Oh, did I not mention that habit of hers? Little lady, big road train, ugg boots – true story. The next big change and the precursor to me getting this interview was McDonald's move from WA to SA. By the sounds of her love for carting livestock it wouldn’t have seemed very likely, until an out-of-state truckie turned up at a small country pub in Mingenew for a cold beer. Kane was his name and he must have been packing some charm for he quickly swept her off her feet, ugg boots and all.

They were both their carting grain. They both loved trucking and, really, in a town of less than 300, McDonald’s choices were limited. Anyway, the next thing you know they’re married and relocating to Tailem Bend. And there’s three mini money pits running around as well. McDonald said goodbye to the weeks on the road and hello to home every night with nappy changes and bedtime stories. Before you ask, I’m not sure if those were just for the kids or the kids and Kane. That itch we all get for the road, though, brought her to the job in which I found her, working for Robert and Anne Simcock carting pigs around South Australia. It’s the return of her much-loved Kenworth logo, only now with a single trailer. “It’s a lifestyle, I love working with animals – even these guys are fun. Jeeze, these guys can make you laugh,” she said, referring to the noisy pigs behind us. “I enjoy driving, you see the world at a completely different level. Who doesn’t want to get paid to look out a window all day?” As we near the end of our journey and my mind starts envisioning the load behind us – a well-cooked roast with crackling and all the extras – I try to focus once again on the motivation that’s led to McDonald sharing her story with me. “It’ll be nice to see more girls behind the wheel,” she explained. “I want companies to give them a go. I hate to say it, but you’ll never turn back. Once you have a woman driver you’ll want more.” There’s no better advocate for limitless options open to woman than Kelsie McDonald. She has proven what can be done and she is as ‘happy as a pig in shit’ while doing it.

McDonald looks right at home steering the Kenworth down the road. Driving and working is her Zen space

Few freight forms are more time-sensitive or demand more immediacy than milk. But, throw in a pandemic with all its operational and commercial challenges, and suddenly there’s an entirely new dimension in moving essential dairy products from farm to fridge. For SRH Milk Haulage principal Scott Harvey and daughter Blair, it means sticking to what you know and adapting quickly when things turn sour

e has a voice that can sound like gravel being raked across concrete and, when the mullet’s given time to grow, there’s the deep-etched appearance of a ‘worked hard, played hard’ rocker from the ’70s.

Volvo FH600 in A-double configuration. The Swedish giant has been a major part of the SRH story from the start

Don’t be fooled, though. There’s more to Scott Harvey than meets the eye or raps the ear. Much more. And, while the image and the character perhaps accurately reflect younger years lived hard and to the hilt, innate acumen has nurtured and flourished in the fateful roll between risk and reward. In fact, there are moments in random conversation when even Scott seems genuinely awed by the evolution of a life that has seen a knockabout young bloke from the New South Wales Hunter Valley, not entirely sure or even concerned of what tomorrow might hold, forge a family business that, today, spans one side of the country to the other. “Yeah, I try not to think about it too hard. It can give me a headache,” he laughed, but the seriousness is not lost. “There’s no way we thought it would ever grow to where it is now.” The ‘we’ in the comment is wife and business partner Regina and, logically enough, Scott and Regina Harvey are the foundation of SRH Milk Haulage, a proudly specialised company with almost 70 trucks and a wide array of Byford and Tieman tanker configurations nowadays hauling around one billion litres of milk a year.

Still, in a phone conversation from a company depot at Poowong in Victoria’s Gippsland, there’s a mix of humility and gratitude in his tone as Scott recalled the creation of SRH in 1996. “I’d been doing a lot of different things up to that point, including weekend work in tankers to the Oak milk company at Hexham [on the western outskirts of Newcastle],” said Harvey. “I always liked the tanker work and, besides, the trucks and tankers just looked better. Cleaner, and I liked that. Still do. “Someone must’ve noticed because it was suggested I should run a truck of my own. The thought of that made us nervous but, anyway, when a tender eventually came up with Dairy Farmers, we went for it and got the contract. That was the start of SRH. “A husband and wife company from the start,” he quickly asserted. Also, right from the start, Volvo would play a major role in the company’s progress, first with an FH420 to get the ball rolling. “We’ve bought almost 250 trucks over the years and around 230 have been Volvos of one form or another,” Harvey remarked. Nonetheless, the Swedish giant hasn’t had SRH entirely to itself and the current fuel returns of a top-shelf Mercedes-Benz model are certainly giving Scott plenty to think about. Loyalty is one thing but so, too, is the bottom line. Even so, as the conversation continued, he would relate plenty of reasons

why Volvo continues to be first and foremost in truck choice. Yet, there is, of course, far more to running a highly specialised haulage company than the choice of equipment and while Harvey doesn’t shy from the fact that an evolving business brings pressures he could not have imagined in younger years, there has been nothing on the scale of Covid. Not even close, especially in an operation where the freight is so time-sensitive and essential to human consumption. “But I’ll tell you this,” he says abruptly, “our drivers have done an incredible job because it doesn’t matter where they are, things can, and have, turned bad quickly and drivers have had to adapt in so many ways. “It hasn’t been easy for anyone and, yeah, like everyone else, it has cost us money in one way or another and there are a couple of drivers we’ve had to quickly isolate, but it has also cost some drivers their jobs. “Like, with the government in Victoria.

We couldn’t employ someone after a certain date if they weren’t vaccinated, so good drivers that wouldn’t get vaccinated, we had to let them go. “That’s not a nice thing to do but it wasn’t our choice. It was out of our hands. I respect that it’s up to the individual if they want to get needled or not but, at the end of the day, it should be up to us to say if someone can’t work for us anymore, not a government department.” It is, Harvey added with more than a hint of deep cynicism, a troubling experience to tell a good driver he no longer has a job, especially in a national industry absolutely desperate to not only attract drivers but keep driving standards at proficient levels. “Road transport is still growing but driver numbers aren’t growing with it,” he said sharply. In a surprise admission, Scott conceded that, while the trials and demands of running a haulage company are ever present, the

Scott Harvey’s smile hides the frustration caused by Covid but it doesn’t hide his gratitude for the drivers who have “done an incredible job” during the pandemic

Scott and wife Regina Harvey formed SRH Milk Haulage in 1996. Nowadays, eldest daughter Blair (centre) is national operations manager and a vital part of her parents’ business

Farm pick-up work has long been the mainstay of the SRH workload and Volvo continues to be the dominant supplier. For good reasons

impacts of Covid with all its constraints and brutal border restrictions by state governments, with self-interest so obviously at the heart of many decisions, have, for the first time, made him question the efficacy of private enterprise in such a politically charged atmosphere. So, at 55 years of age, are Scott’s natural enthusiasm and spirited character starting to wane under the weight of constant assaults on the operation of a proudly successful and intently professional business? Maybe. Or maybe, like everyone else, he’s just tired of the hypocrisy and haphazard rules and regulations. Either way, it was a question that returned no definitive answer other than highlighting the reliance and critical involvement of a capable management team, which includes daughter Blair, the eldest of Scott and Regina’s three kids. Runs on the board With her father in Victoria overseeing a new long-distance milk run from Cobram (Victoria) to Labrador in Queensland – a four-day round trip with driver changeovers – Blair says Scott’s absence has little to no bearing on her role as national operations manager. “It’s the job. It’s what we do, but we’re never far away with a phone,” she said with simple confidence from the company’s original base at Rutherford, little more than a stone’s throw from the New England Highway in the lower Hunter Valley, and not far south of the Harvey home at Aberglasslyn. While her sister and brother have ventured

into other career paths, 28-year-old Blair easily explained that, with no love for high school and an ingrained upbringing around her parents’ business, it was perhaps inevitable that she would become a fixture in the operation, one way or the other. Thus, agreeing to her father’s insistence of a TAFE course, ultimately acquiring a diploma in business administration and a certificate in transport and logistics, Blair was allowed to leave school at 16 to become an employee of SRH Milk Haulage. “I’m still an employee,” she said with a wide grin and, as the conversation continued, apparent contentment that it’ll stay that way now that she’s a relatively new mum with 18-month-old daughter Maisie. In such a male-oriented industry, there’s no surprise in her assertion that “the male aspect” was especially intimidating for a teenage girl, even with the strength and support of her father. And perhaps more so as the boss’s daughter. “I certainly had to prove myself and that didn’t happen overnight,” Blair reflected, before bluntly emphasising: “There’s no intimidation anymore. None.” Quiet for a moment, she continued: “Management is thin on the ground in this company and Scott employs hands-on people, much like himself. “You’re employed to make a decision, so you make it.” Likewise, it was a determined Scott who, a day earlier, had emphasised that with a fleet operating from such widespread depots as Rutherford in the Hunter Valley, Raleigh on the NSW north coast near Coffs Harbour,

SRH’s move into Western Australia was a significant achievement but finding and retaining good drivers has been a critical issue

In linehaul roles, the introduction of Kenworth’s T610 was to reward “a couple of really good operators who have been with me for a long time”. However, the slimline T610 SAR is the only one of its type in the fleet, bought to assess its ability in farm pick-up work

Poowong in Gippsland and East Picton, around 160km south of Perth in Western Australia, the key is to have smart managers rather than more managers. “We have good managers in each depot and I can’t ask or expect them to make a decision, then not support them. You can’t say you trust people to do something then undermine their decision,” he said. As for Blair’s involvement in the company, Scott said thoughtfully: “She’s a big help for me in running the company [and] is far more up to speed on the technology side of things than I am. “Our customers are big companies and they expect our admin and software processes to be up to the standard of modern business practice. Blair is essential in achieving and maintaining that, but also in the technology that applies to trucks, like introducing the ‘Seeing Eye’ system [an advanced fatigue monitoring package]. “She’s a child of the computer age. I’m definitely not,” Scott confessed, before candidly commenting that, with a baby and a new perspective on priorities, thoughts of their daughter eventually taking over the company are not on the agenda. “Running a transport company is not getting easier,” he declared, with Blair conceding: “Maintaining a work-life balance is difficult in transport. The business has become second nature to me but, with a baby, there are bigger realities now.” Even so, and much to her parents’ pride, Blair’s abilities have been recognised well beyond the milk haulage business, with her admission into Daimler Trucks’

2021 ‘Future Leaders’ Forum’; an initiative with the Australian Trucking Association to train and develop “strong, knowledgeable industry advocates”. Unfortunately, the first planned gathering of the 2021 group from trucking related businesses around Australia became yet another victim of Covid-19. Despite the disappointment, for Blair and others of her ilk, it was just another blip in a world besieged by blips. “In 2020, Covid’s first impacts weren’t that bad,” Blair recalled. “It threw plenty of challenges at us but, as long as we adapted quickly and took all the necessary precautions, we got through the first year without too many issues. “Clean practices in every part of the business were the critical thing, but milk is a clean industry anyway, so taking that a few steps further wasn’t too difficult.” But then: “2021 was horrible. Border restrictions were changing all the time and there was little or no consistency between any of the states, and for drivers there were big interruptions with vaccinations, tests and delayed results. “In an industry where the freight is urgent every day, management and drivers were hammered every day.” Echoing her father’s comments: “Drivers were lost due to some not being vaccinated. Victoria and WA were particularly difficult, but we had no choice. “We were just doing what the governments said but they weren’t all saying the same thing. It was a nightmare. Still is. First it was boosters and now RATs [rapid antigen

The Mercedes-Benz 2663 has rewritten the book for SRH on fuel consumption. According to Scott Harvey, fuel efficiency of the biggest Benz is “awesome”

tests] are mandatory but getting them is insanely difficult, and before that it was AZ versus Pfizer. “The pressure on business has been amazing at times [and] added a whole new dimension to management. It was, and still is, very difficult for everyone but especially for linehaul drivers crossing borders.” Indeed, in a company with almost 160 employees and at least 140 of them employed as drivers – most permanent but some casuals – driver issues have become a major problem, Blair says with undisguised frustration. “Driver recruitment and retention haven’t been concerns for much of this company’s life, but now they are,” she insists. “And the reasons aren’t all because of COVID.” Again, Western Australia and Victoria are the most difficult. In WA, the evolution of FIFO (fly-in, fly-out) mining jobs has taken a lot of drivers out of the industry while, on the other side of the country in Victoria, the contest is generally between different milk haulage companies and how much they’re prepared to pay to keep a good tanker driver. “We’ve known guys who say they’re happy

here, get a brand new truck, then suddenly change jobs because a mate tells them it’s better somewhere else. “Truck drivers can be fickle,” she said with a wry grin. In NSW and Qld, the base is generally more diverse and attracting drivers to milk tanker work means competing with a far broader range of driving jobs, Blair attested. Or as her father said succinctly: “There’s just a shortage of drivers all round, especially the right sort of drivers. “And with all the impacts of Covid, keeping them is something else.” Choices and challenges A day earlier, over the phone, there was a hint of relief in Scott’s voice when the conversation reverted to trucks and, specifically, the reasons why Volvo has maintained such a dominant presence since the start of SRH. However, the presence of a couple of Kenworth T610 conventionals, a smattering of Scanias and, most recently, a few flagship Mercedes-Benz 2663 models, point to a constant comparison of various brands and

DEALS Profile not, as Scott quickly emphasised, an exercise in keeping Volvo honest. Depending on the job and the location, SRH configurations range from singles to 19- and 20-metre doubles, 25-metre B-doubles and 26-metre A-doubles (pocket roadtrains in WA) running a BPW steer axle at the rear. In workloads covering farm pick-up to regional bulk deliveries into suburban processing plants, and linehaul runs, he insists flexibility is the key to the operation and, while it’s certainly not a case of ‘one truck fits all’, each model is specified with the ability to haul different configurations when and where necessary. At any given time, though, Volvo historically commands more than 80 per cent of the SRH fleet and Scott isn’t shy about the main reasons: “One-stop shop, mate,” he said earnestly, “and, overall, we’ve had a good run from Volvo. For sure.” Despite acknowledging recent reports of long delivery times for Volvo’s latest model

range from the company’s Wacol (Qld) factory, Scott was quick to mention: “At the moment we’re in the process of getting 28 new models [and] we’ve accepted contract maintenance on them all. And, for the first time, we’re using Volvo Finance because they came up with a really good rate that other finance suppliers couldn’t get close to. “For us, it was a case of Volvo supplying the whole package. It was hard to beat,” he said, emphatically. Typically, the order is for a mix of models, including FM500 and FH540 13-litre units and 16-litre FH600s, a couple with the extended XXL cab for linehaul work. But, given his obvious allegiance to Volvo over more than 25 years, why the handful of Kenworth conventionals in a fleet traditionally committed to continental cab-overs? Taking a moment, Scott replied: “It was mainly to give something back to a couple of really good operators who have been with me

This Scania G-series on farm pick-up duties in northern NSW is one of a number of G and R-series models from the Swedish maker’s NTG range, chosen because of Scania’s strong service credentials in the region

for a long time and who’ve always wanted to get into a new Kenworth, so I certainly can’t complain about buying them. “They’re all T610s for linehaul work mostly but there’s also a 610 SAR in Victoria that does farm pick-up work. It does the job,” he said simply of the slimline SAR, bought largely to assess the model’s merits in the farm work. “This business has primarily been a farm pick-up operation,” he continued, “but, some years back, a couple of our bigger customers asked if we could provide a linehaul service, so we did and that side of the business has probably become bigger than we expected.” Painted in the linehaul fleet’s grey colour scheme, Scott conceded the T610s are easy on the eye. “They definitely look the part. We’ve

dressed them up a bit and they’re all fitted with Eaton auto boxes, so it’s probably easy to see why drivers are attracted to them.” Meantime, it’s an adamant Scott who again insisted that Scania and Mercedes-Benz models are not in the fleet to simply keep Volvo commercially honest. “I’ve always reckoned you should compare others to see what’s best for your business,” he contended. When it comes to a group of Scania G and R-series trucks from Scania’s NTG range, his assessment is typically concise. “In Scania’s case, it suits us in a particular area, like in Coffs Harbour, where its back-up and service operation has always been so much better than Volvo’s. “In a 24/7 business like ours, it’s a matter of

making our job easy as possible, so we go with what’s better for us.” Comparisons, however, take on a new importance when talk turns to fuel consumption and the simple question: ‘Is there a model that stands out?’ His answer was immediate and succinct. “Mercedes-Benz. It’s awesome,” he fires back, referring to a 2663 model pulling a pocket road train double in WA, loaded one-way and returning empty, “… averaging 2.5 kilometres per litre every day of the week. “On the same job, a Volvo FH600 is doing 2.1 kilometres per litre at best.” Meanwhile, on the east coast, another 2663 “… is rounding up the Kenworths and the Volvos on linehaul on the Hume. “The way these trucks are going, it certainly

has me thinking about what comes next,” he said, seriously. “We’re now really keen to put a Benz on as a farm pick-up truck but we haven’t done that yet because we’re happy with the Volvo product. “The thing is, though, I know we’re not doing ourselves any favours by not seeing what the Benz can do on farm work. “Over the life of a truck, this sort of difference in fuel consumption can mean a lot of money on the bottom line.” Quiet for a moment, a reflective Scott concluded: “Everyone goes through learning curves but the big thing is to take on board everything you learn. “It’s a tough business. Always has been but now more than ever, I think.”

H Representing the heavy haulage side of the business, the big Mack returning to Robinson’s HQ after dropping a trailer. You can imagine this combination with a big excavator on – super cool

ave I mentioned before how much I love my job? I mean, who wouldn’t? Picture me sitting back conducting a friendly interview in the seaside holiday town of Coffs Harbour. Beautiful rays of sunshine are breaking through the light clouds like a grown man stepping on a barely frozen lake. Golden yellow beams of light bouncing off a stunning silver Kenworth and a mouth-watering Mack are the backdrop for this meeting.

A cold beer is in my hand as the proprietor of this idyllic setting, Chris Robinson, regales me with his poetically expletive memoirs. I mean, all I really need is some Jack Danielsflavoured jerky, Smokey and the Bandit playing on a 75-inch TV and an endless supply of nachos and I would be in heaven. Who am I kidding, you’ve probably already looked at all the photos of the Mack. I’m already there. It’s time to focus but I keep getting distracted by photos of Chris’ fleet. He may still be a young man, he’s only an ’84 model, but hard work and trucking have been part of his DNA before he was a glimmer in his old man’s eye. Chris’s grandfather, Harold, drove trucks his entire life and is responsible for the family’s appreciation for the old school

Mack brand. Originally from Tasmania where the toughest logging trucks always featured the bulldog out the front, Harold ended up driving all over Australia. Almost all the miles he clocked up were in either the legendary B-models or the iconic F-model Macks. That bulldog blood ran through the blood of Chris’s father, Ray, as well. Before starting his own earthmoving business in 1983, Ray was a full-time truckie. At one stage, he owned and ran a couple of F models himself but his era was predominantly the infamous R-model Macks. When Ray started RJ & TM Excavator Hire, the R-model Macks continued to feature heavily in his growing fleet. “Dad always wanted a Super-Liner,” Chris recalled. “But when they first came out, they were just too expensive, so he stuck with the R-models.” As a kid you couldn’t ask for much more. While your mates may have had their Tonka trucks in their backyard sand pit, your mum and dad had the life-size version. It really was no surprise Chris grew up with 15W-40 in his veins. As if all the excavators and loud trucks weren’t enough to inject bucket loads of

testosterone into young Chris, Ray was still doing a bit of relief driving on the side. He’d often work all day then drive for an old family friend. I’m sure most of you have heard the name Jim Ristovichis before. At the very least I’m sure you’ve seen pictures of his legendary Mack Super-Liner. Chris’ introduction to the Super-Liners and the catalyst for his desire to own one came courtesy of Jim’s iconic truck. Talk about setting the bar high. It would come as no surprise then that young Chris was a lot more preoccupied with machinery and soil than maths and science. At the age of 14, he came to an agreement with his school. He agreed he’d be better off away from school and they agreed he was right. At an age when most of us were still bluetacking the Truck of the Month posters to our walls, Chris became a fulltime worker in Ray’s earthmoving business. While, today, RJ & TM Robinson Excavator Hire consists of Ray in the excavator and

wife Tracy in a Mack Trident tipper, in the ’80s and ’90s the company was a lot bigger, undertaking huge projects throughout Australia. A lot of the company work was based around freeway and infrastructure projects. It goes without saying that I’m sure young Chris wasn’t driving or operating anything he wasn’t licensed to when he first started, he was merely soaking up all the necessary skills and techniques needed. Chris had to wait until he was 19 to gain an exception that allowed him to go for a heavy combination licence. With a note from mum and dad (I’m not being facetious, it’s what happened), he was granted the HC licence. Chris then took on the role of shifting a lot of the company’s gear around in one of the old Macks. In between moves he was working all manner of earthmoving equipment and generally getting his hands as dirty as possible.

The big E9 has to look as good as the rest of the truck

First big truck Chris spent 12 years working for his dad, wherever and whenever he was needed. Then, Ray decided he was ready to scale back. This decision, along with the contacts Chris had formed, would lead to the birth of Chris Robinson Earthmoving. “I decided to buy an excavator off dad and carry on some of the work he had been doing on the freeways,” Chris explaind. At this stage he was still in Goulburn Valley as that’s where the family company was based. Chris started with the purchase of his own excavator. There was plenty of big projects going on so he would end up on one site for four to five months at a time and used contractors to move the excavator when needed. As he started to pocket some money he decided to invest in his own low loader.

“The problem was, I could always get trucks [to move his excavator around] but I couldn’t always get a low loader,” Chris said. That first wooden deck low loader was the main seed from which the business grew. Carrying on that analogy, if the low loader was the seed, then the watering can was Chris’s first truck purchase. It would be symbolic if I said it was a Mack Super-Liner, but the truth is it was a 2007 Kenworth T904 – the same one he still has and sits pretty with nearly 1.5 million kilometres on it. “It was a big first truck to buy,” Chris said. “But I knew the truck, traded in, one owner, I loved it.” The Kenworth It was already painted silver and would become the catalyst for CJ Robinson Earthmoving’s future colour scheme.

“That was my bread and butter; I used that to grow my company,” he said. That growth came in the form of less time for Chris in machinery and more time behind the wheel of the 904 doing float work. “As well as our own, on job sites I’d shift everyone’s gear around. In the end I’d sit in the float, 10 hours a day shifting gear.” That increase in workload, along with bigger gear on bigger sites meant the old tri-axle wooden deck low loader was underqualified, so a quad axle low loader was needed. With that came more work, then more work, then more work. Ten years after Chris first purchased the T904, the company now has around 80 pieces of machinery and 70-plus employees. Throughout the growth of the company there’s always been one little desire itching

away at Chris: “My dream was always to buy a Super-Liner.” It was obviously a familial desire, coveting a Super-Liner. Chris recalled his dad always wanting one himself. When RJ & TM Robinsons was in full swing it was the era that heralded the arrival of the Super-Liner. At the time, their popularity put them out of Chris’ dad’s reach. When Ray finally reached a position to have another look, he found he wasn’t the only one eyeing the bulldog. In fact, many were chasing them as restoration projects. So again, he shelved the idea. While Chris’ love for Super-Liners was ignited by Jim Ristovichis’s Magnum, it was also fuelled by legendary trucks like the Bromage fuel tankers. “In the ’80s they pulled Shell fuel tankers;

The downside to doing a rebuild inhouse is that you end up going all out. That custom deck plating was the result of a casual walkby while the truck was in the shed

everyone knew their V8 Super-Liners,” Chris related. “They used to call up blokes and tell them to move over, coming through.” Like his father’s drive, those childhood memories cemented Chris’ desire to have one himself. “My dream was always to own a Series 2. I wanted the 500, not 400, and I wanted the 12-speed,” he said. “The problem was they were so hard to find, people weren’t parting with them and, if they were, it was [for] exorbitant prices.”

Right price As it happened, Chris was lucky enough to spot an old Super-Liner relaxing on the outskirts of Dubbo. This was in early 2015 and Chris was now operating predominantly out of Coffs Harbour, doing a lot of project work in the area. So, on his first free weekend, he dragged Ray away from work for a drive across to the NSW inland city. The Mack had been a part of the furniture around Dubbo for more than 20 years. It was owned by Brian Swain and under Outback Recovery Services had been stretched and working as a tow truck up and down the Newell Highway for most of its life. While i t was sporting Chris’ less preferred ninespeed box, that would get changed by Chris’ team. Most importantly, it had the 500 E9 – that was the deal breaker! As if the big bopper engine wasn’t enough, some digging around revealed that the truck’s original owner had been JW Bromage, the truck being one of the last brought for the Bromage fleet. (Random fact time: JW Bromage was the biggest owner of V8 Super-Liners in Australia, beating Road Trains Australia by two.) Knowing the prices that some of these old Macks were fetching, Chris was extremely grateful to Brian Swain for the deal he did.

DEALS Resto Check out the finishing on the Mack’s custom stainless – the work of a couple of maestros from Marcia Street Fabricators in Coffs Harbour

Swain was able to see in Chris a fellow Mack enthusiast who was going to throw everything into the old girl. As such, he came to an agreement that they could both afford. Then came the first drive, Dubbo to Coffs. “It was pretty wild driving it back, it hadn’t been going for a couple years,” Chris said. Ray hopped in the passenger seat at Tamworth and lasted only until Armidale before kicking his son out and politely telling him that he was failing to drive the truck appropriately (I cleaned up the language a little). “Nothing was working on it, no tacho or speedo,” Chris remembered. “Dad’s going that hard, everything’s wobbling, the bonnet’s wobbling, overhead console screws falling out, an old CB fell out. “I told him to slow down, and he was ‘Nah, this is how you drive them’.” Chris laughed away as he recalls hitting the freeway before Coffs and getting his speedo app out. For

fear of repercussion I won’t give the exact readout, but in kilometres per hour it’s equal to the amount of games a major league baseball team plays in a regular season. In mph it’s equal to the atomic number of fermium – so pretty fast. Style council Once they got the big Mack home to Coffs Harbour the five-year project began. Chris had a plan from day one but admits he never expected to go to such extremes. “It’s a blessing and a curse doing it in house. I’d walk past and see something and think,

When Chris spoke to Damian Gormly from Zealous Airbrush Studio, he broadly outlined his idea for the Mack. He wanted the bulldog with a good hand and ‘Here’s The Deal’ above it. Chris returned several weeks later to find this masterpiece on the back of his cab – definitely a winning hand

Looking better than day one. Chris has built a very successful business of the back of his stunning T904

‘Oh, I might do this or might do that’,” Chris said. His vision was always to include his company’s two-tone silver and grey mixed with the Ristovichis’ Magnum lines and styling. Being that he also intended to work the truck, there was the need to strip it right back and make sure every bolt, rail, airline and hose was in top notch condition. “I have built it to work; when I go to pick up new machines and stuff I want to take this,” Chris said, adding that he believes you have to keep working the old E9s or they start blowing smoke or discharging oil. There are a lot of workers that deserve credit for the outstanding resurrection of this truck. From Chris’ brother-in-law, Josh, who put his engineering skills to good use making up all new brackets and cross members, to the likes of Sharky who worked on all the hoses and airlines. It really was a team effort. Installed Automotive is another local company that played a massive role in the intricate task of rewiring the whole truck; not an easy feat when it’s longer than originally designed Rather than remove the extra metre that had been put in the chassis for the tow truck role Chris opted instead to use that length. He approached his good friends down at Klos Custom Trucks to purchase a 65-inch (165cm) Aero1 bunk they had in the back shed. It certainly filled in some space. That extra length also allowed Chris to fit not just twin air start tanks but also dual 500-litre fuel tanks on both sides, ensuring the truck can not only house you on a trip around Australia but damn near do it with one stop for fuel.

Getting the big Mack all painted up was the task of another local company, Urunga Smash Tepairs. With its small shop, though, it was left up to Chris and his team to send the truck down piece by piece. After I commented on the outstanding finish on the stainless Chris reveals all the custom stainless was done by a couple of young lads at Marcia Street Fabricators, another local company. Some chrome work by Mewoe Metals in Albury and a couple of extra stainless supplies from RC Metalcraft and the truck was almost good to go. All it needed was a little trip up to the legendary MasterArt in Brisbane for the signwriting and scroll work, as well as a custom drawn image for the back, courtesy of Damian Gormly from Zealous Airbrush Studio. Last, but not least, especially in Chris’ mind, is Brendon James from Southside Trucks in Coffs Harbour. Chris’s ‘Mack’ man was always on hand to track down parts and information for him. With all that finally finished, Chris had his dream truck, the showpiece among his fleet of Kenworths. But wait, that’s the point we never addressed. The Mack fanatic with only one Mack in his fleet? “My love for old Macks? There’s nothing comfy about these Macks, just loud real trucks,” Chris confessed. “But ya can’t beat a Kenworth for today’s standards for what we do.” Fair enough. If you are a Mack fan and are only going to have one classic Mack in your fleet, you can’t beat a 1987 Mack SuperLiner. And you definitely can’t beat Chris Robinson’s Mack.

R Kenworth’s recently released T680E is a black eye for Kenny purists but shows the direction the company is headed in

emember back in the 1980s and ‘90s there was a show on TV called Beyond 2000? For those who don’t, it was a family-oriented Sunday night affair showcasing anything that was remotely techy; a sort of soft-news/entertainment program in the same vein as Top Gear but with a broader scope as they would show off cars, computers, new inventions, etc. For those of us who were young and impressionable back then, it was an eyeopening look into an exciting future in which we were going to live.

The show was a great concept and must’ve rated well, as the series ran from 1985 until 1999, but when it came to making predictions about what would actually occur beyond 2000 (which must have been much easier in the later seasons) it was a bit hit and miss. Living on Mars, hover cars and a solarpowered regatta around the moon were among the howlers but closer to the mark were in-car navigation, MRI machines and, way back in 1988, climate change. That last point brings us neatly to the current time we live in or ‘the future’ if you believe old TV shows. And what future it is, one in which we are witnessing the biggest revolution in propulsion technologies since the first four-stroke reciprocating piston engine sputtered into life back in the 1870s. Yes, lots of German blokes with beards and

surnames like Otto, Diesel and Daimler who brought us the internal combustion shove, which has lasted more than a century and is now coming to an abrupt end. We are now witnessing the death of diesel, so what do the next few decades look like engine-wise? The major manufacturers are fast developing and making production-ready electric trucks for deployment right now, but many also have a finger in the hydrogen fuel cell pie. So, let’s take a look at what is happening with the major players and how they are preparing for a future devoid of carbon emissions. Kenworth’s Meritor connection For a company steeped in tradition, Paccar isn’t afraid to upset its base and has released the T680E electric truck powered by Meritor’s interesting Blue Horizon 14Xe electric motor system, which looks like a regular rear axle but has an electric motor integrated into it. Kenworth claims a continuous power rating of 536hp (400kW) with a 670hp (500kW) peak power number and 1,623ft-lb (2,201Nm) of torque. Range is said to be 250km and the T680E has a top speed of 105km/h. Volvo electric The Swedish maker is already pumping out electric models in Europe and the US, where the brand is enjoying early converts

DEALS Tech to its plug-in trucks but is also looking into alternative fuels and of course hydrogen fuel cell technology. Early in 2021, Volvo touted a 35% sales number for electric trucks by 2030. That isn’t very far away so it will be interesting to see how sales track over the next few years as that sales figure is a global ambition and doesn’t mean Australia will follow the electric call as quickly, especially if alternative fuels (something Volvo says it’s keen to utilise) come to the fore in the next few years. Daimler in the race You’d never bet against the established brands, as they always seem to be able to find a way through, and this is true of Daimler with the fully electric Fuso eCanter and bigger trucks like the Mercedes-Benz eActros already taking the fight to the streets. Daimler is also forging ahead with a heap of partnerships around areas such as hydrogen filling station development,

charging stations and autonomous driving systems to name a few. Added to all of this, Daimler is now free from the car side of the Mercedes-Benz business, which means an added degree of flexibility at quite a critical time in the race toward decarbonisation. Tesla’s big miles Ah, Tesla, the elephant in the electric truck room. It seems that Tesla enjoys a cult-like following which approaches hysteria if you dare express an opinion that isn’t your complete devotion to the brand and praise its quality, worthiness and aesthetic beauty above all else. Problem is, the Tesla Semi has been delayed numerous times and, at the moment, there’s no way it will come to Australia because it’s too wide for our roads, not to mention the ADR-defying central driving position. Despite these setbacks it doesn’t seem

New DEALS DEALS Tech interest has gone off the boil, with US companies like PepsiCo placing strong orders for the Semi. Part of this interest is due to impressive specs, with a range of 300 (480km) or 500 miles (800km), though how much power those four electric motors (one for each rear wheel) transmit to the contact surface is not yet clear. Hyzon’s prime mover Probably the most exciting company at the moment, and with an Australia connection to boot, Hyzon is powering ahead with hydrogen fuel-cell trucks and buses with a lot of local and international interest. Hyzon’s Hymax 450 prime mover is set to debut in Australia this year and is touted to be the first hydrogen fuel-cell truck in operation in Australia. With a continuous power output of 450kW from the electric motor and a range of 650km, it looks the goods. Added to this, Hyzon is working on a liquid hydrogen solution,

which the company says could garner a 1,600km range. And, in a move that will shut Facebook keyboard warriors up for good with the constant whinge of “it can’t pull a road train”, Hyzon is set to deliver five 154-tonne rated fuel-cell prime movers to be used by Townsville Logistics in North Queensland. The last drop It seems, whether we like it or not, hydrogen and electric-powered vehicles are going to be the norm within a few decades and we can all kiss piston engines goodbye. But, while this sentiment is true for most of the manufacturers forging into a carbon-free future, there are corners of the market still catering to piston, crankshaft and valve enthusiasts the world over. German engine maker Deutz currently offers a hydrogen gulping in-line six-cylinder engine with 200kW of power (270hp) to pacify the suck, squeeze, bang, blow crowd, who would still like to be able to hear an

DEALS Tech engine running and enjoy linear power over a rev range. This sort of thing is possible to have in a carbon-neutral future as emissions from an internal combustion engine fuelled by hydrogen can be brought down to low levels or even zero by the use of a catalyst, much like how AdBlue is used for diesel engines currently. But does diesel have to die? In the longterm the answer is a resounding ‘yes’, but in this transition away from fossil fuels, co-combustion is a promising option to (somewhat) ameliorate carbon emissions from derv-burning units. Canadian company Hydra Energy is an interesting example as it modifies regular prime movers with a hydrogen tank and injection system and claims that over a three-year trial period its hydrogen-diesel, co-combustion injection system showed no loss in fuel efficiency, range, power, torque, or payload capacity but claimed a carbon emissions reduction of up to 40%

Many also have a finger in the

hydrogen

per converted truck. These numbers are impressive numbers and could be a solution to wean users off combustion engines while also allowing manufacturers to run out ICE production and parts supplies/contracts over a period of time as they transition to other technologies. The headline date coming up for most manufacturers for some sort of change to model line-ups is 2030, and that ain’t far away, which brings us back to the not-so-easy task of predicting the future. Change is coming, that is a given, but, hopefully, in the transition to decarbonising transport entirely, there is a mix of technologies utilised, like alternative fuels and ICEs running on hydrogen, because while electric is great for short range runs and fuel-cell tech can theoretically handle the long haul stuff, infrastructure for both is still nascent and that is the biggest challenge in introducing these technologies especially in a country as big and as sparsely populated as Australia.

The one all the techheads are waiting for, but the Tesla Semi won’t come to Australia unless changes are made to its design or our legislation

Hydra Energy in Canada is outfitting diesel trucks with hydrogen systems for cocombustion which it says lowers emission by up to 40 per cent (pic courtesy Lodgewood Enterprises Ltd)

Plant & Equipment AI-based analysis tools will extend the service life of lithium-ion batteries

Battery boost JT Energy Systems acquires stake in Novum JT Energy Systems, a joint venture between Jungheinrich and Triathlon Holding GmbH, has acquired a stake in the Dresden-based AI company and battery specialist Novum. German materials handling and battery manufacturing company Jungheinrich has offices in Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane, while Triathlon launched its battery business in Australia in 2020. As part of their cooperation, the partners are jointly extending the service life of lithium-ion batteries. The use of AIbased analysis tools makes used vehicle batteries fit for their second and third lifetimes; exetending their sustainability. “Lithium-ion batteries often last longer than the vehicles in which they are used,” said Reinhild Kühne, managing director of JT Energy Systems. “In the future, we will be in an even better position to exploit the battery’s full potential in order to reuse it meaningfully in a second and third life.” For this purpose, Novum’s artificial intelligence-based test systems will analyse the condition of built lithium-ion batteries down to the cell level. “We know exactly how high the remaining capacity of a battery is after only 90 seconds,” explained Mandy Schipke, managing director of Novum. “This allows us to calculate how long the respective battery can still be used in different application scenarios. Experience has shown that, even in many previously discarded batteries, there are still cells that are good and safe for further use.” For this purpose, after an initial examination at module level, which provides information about the general battery condition, another test is carried out at cell level. Based on this analysis, the cells are categorised into quality

classes according to their condition. Fully intact cells can be reassembled into vehicle batteries that are offered as low-cost used batteries for renewed use in the vehicle. Less efficient cells are used in stationary batteries and large-scale storage systems. In the end, only a very small proportion of used cells that have already reached their actual end of life and can no longer be used for any other purpose need to be recycled. “This additional station in the life cycle makes lithium-ion batteries much more sustainable and ecological overall,” Kühne emphasised. “Novum’s globally unique expertise

in this area was one of the key reasons for our strategic investment in the experienced AI company.” The new test systems can be applied to all battery types and are therefore particularly versatile and scalable. “The artificial intelligence learns independently how to handle new battery types,” explained Schipke. “We also get maximum flexibility from a patented measurement method with which we do not need any prior information about the battery. We can even classify batteries from accident vehicles where the battery management system can no longer be accessed and safely reuse them in the sense of a resource-saving recycling economy. Until now, such batteries always had to be disposed of completely.” The test data collected by the system is stored in a cloud. With each additional data set, Novum’s artificial intelligence gains in information quality. The cloud connection will also enable new services in the future: For example, if the Jungheinrich service connects to the cloud, it can carry out battery analyses directly at the customer’s premises and decide whether the battery needs to be replaced or not. All that is needed is a small, portable service device. It also makes it possible to determine the residual value of used batteries.

Andromeda Industries director and owner Raymond McLaren relies on his fleet of Toyota forklifts to ensure his warehouse runs smoothly

Strong and reliable A NSW-based steel and rubber company benefits from TMHA forklifts Andromeda Industries, based just outside of Tamworth, recently expanded its fleet of Toyota forklifts to three with the addition of an 8-Series 62-8FD30 three-tonne diesel forklift. Andromeda Industries director and owner Raymond McLaren bought his first Toyota forklift approximately 20 years ago.

“They’re just so smooth. I’m an engineer and I like fine things as well, and the Toyota forklift is a very resolved design, everything seems to be right about it,” McLaren said. “It’s quiet, it’s smooth, it works properly, all the gear ratios seem to be right, it travels fast enough, slow enough, the hydraulic system has been well resolved.” Andromeda Industries deals with not only steel cables and rubber matting, but also specialty jobs hauling particularly expensive equipment. “I drive [the forklifts] myself,” McLaren said. “I have had to reassemble some very expensive astronomical equipment recently, including a 400kg glass mirror worth over a million dollars, and I had to drive one of the forklifts myself. I trust these things; they do everything right.”

News Any new machines that are brought in are quickly scoured for parts Inset: Brendan Hunt

Deere hunter Adding parts for John Deere construction equipment to the range is a change for Phil Hunt Parts, but the traditions of solid customer service are staying strong into the next generation. It’s not lost on Phil Hunt Parts managing director Brendan Hunt that the company he manages is a generational business. “Very often these days I’m finding the ‘old man’ started dealing with the father of the family – and today I’m dealing with their sons,” he said. “The blokes my old man started dealing with in the early 90s, I’m dealing with their kids now, and obviously I’m second generation as well.” But, as Hunt explained, it’s something that goes with the territory of being Australia’s sole supplier of second-hand parts for Allis Chalmers, Fiat Allis and John Deere Construction Equipment – a loyal customer base he’s grateful for. “We’ve carved ourselves a bit of a niche for machines that aren’t overly popular across the contractor sector, we leave the Caterpillar and Komatsu blokes to do their own thing” he said. “If they think old gear they think of us first, because we really are the only ones left who keep anything for them, and can get blokes going again.” The company got its start when Phil placed an advertisement in The Land looking for parts for a 1940s-era HD7 Allis Chalmers dozer – after failing to find them anywhere – only to get several calls from fellow farmers looking for the same type of parts – and so the seed was sown that a parts business may be required.

And while Allis Chalmers ceased production in 1974, there are still plenty of farmers in that same situation – seeking parts for trusted equipment. “Allis Chalmers obviously started in the US, but having bought out a host of competitors over the years, we have so much stock now, we are actually exporting new and used parts back to the US, where they were originally manufactured,” Hunt said. Hunt also wrecks Fiat earthmoving and agricultural equipment, servicing the operating equipment and importing parts from Europe on a weekly basis. “The Fiat blokes are Fiat through and through, and the fact we stock such a huge range of new and used Fiat parts these days keeps us very busy,” he said. “We are importing new parts regularly, we might bring in half a million dollars in new parts a year, and we’re also wrecking, to give our customers a good used option on some of the more expensive items.” With one eye to the future, Brendan has expanded the company’s product line-up to now include new and used parts to suit John Deere construction equipment. “In the past five or six years we’ve started dismantling John Deere graders, dozers, loaders and scrapers,” he said. “We are the only ones in Australia

wrecking John Deere Construction Equipment and we are very, very good at it these days,” he said. With a total stock inventory of more than 80,000 new parts in its database, multiple sheds and a yard full of used parts, Hunt makes sure his customers’ spare parts needs are always met. “We try to keep enough fast-moving parts and filter kits on the shelf, to cater for 20–30 machines at any one time,” he explained. “There’s probably close to 50 John Deere machines, John Deere graders in particular, dismantled in the yard, so we’re trying to keep a balance of new and used stock for our customers,” he says. “We’re going pretty hard at the new and used side of John Deere in particular and I would say that we are stocking most things these days – we carry large amounts of engine rebuild parts and blade and circle hardware, year round.” Hunt added that, from its base in Tamworth, Phil Hunt Parts can access a large number of freight providers to ensure that the spare parts get out to buyers as quickly as possible. “There’s not a state or territory we don’t cover and we ship worldwide. Every day there is a shipment going overseas somewhere,” he said. The Tamworth base not only boasts a yard full of used dismantling machines but also features an engineering workshop, used for repairing and manufacturing parts that can’t be procured, and a sandblasting cabinet used for refurbishing used parts to a new standard. Paramount to the success of Phil Hunt Parts, though, is the dedicated staff, which collectively possess over 75 years’ experience in the earthmoving spare parts business. “We’re a team of six and I’m fortunate to have as many good people around me as I do, with serious experience in the industry,” Brendan said. “We’ve got years on years of experience there, so when our customers phone, often we’re in front of what they require and can get things moving for them ASAP.”
