New truck sales for April came to a total of 3,306 – a decrease of 491 units compared to March’s total but an increase of 91 on April 2021’s 3,215 – making it the highest April result on record. The year to1036date (YTD) total now sits at 12,123 heavy April vehicles, which is 297 vehicles more than the previous April YTD record of 2018.

KENWORTH

April saw a total of 1,036 heavy-duty vehicles delivered, which was down 209 units on March’s total but ahead by 107 on April last year. The heavy-duty sector now sits at 4,048 units YTD, which is just 11 behind the record-leading April 2018. Kenworth still leads the pack with an April total of 215 – a drop from its March total of 271 but a 15-unit lead on its April 2021 result. This brings it to a YTD total of 862. Isuzu remains in second place with 144, also seeing a drop from its March total of 186, but this is a fair increase on April 2021’s result of 88 and gives a YTD of 634. Third place Volvo recorded a result of 138, down 39 units on March’s total but up 32 on April last year, to reach a YTD of 585. Scania took over second place from MAN in April with 77 units, the first to show an increase on its March total, although this is a steep decrease compared to its April 2021 total of 131, while UD kept fifth place with 72, up two from March and a sizeable increase of 43 up on the same time last year. Both Hino (64) and Fuso (61) remained steady in numbers, though Mercedes-Benz with 52 saw a drop from March’s 69. Mack also dropped down the chart after March’s 90, with an April result of 46.

Light-duty

The medium-duty sector continues to go strong with a total of 632, which is down from March’s 686 units but ahead by 68 compared to April 2021. This brings the segment total to 2,283, which is ahead 257 on April 2021. There are no surprises here, with Isuzu again maintaining a comfortable lead on 264 – again a decrease on its March total of 295 but ahead of April 2021 by 37 units, pushing it into four figures for the year with a YTD total of 1,017. Hino’s 220 is only slightly down on the previous month and 19 units ahead of April 2021, giving it a YTD of 730. Third place Fuso had a larger decrease of 16 units on March and managed to beat its April 2021 total by just one unit, giving a YTD of 401. UD Trucks is quite a way behind in fourth place with 19, though up four on March, while MAN showed a six-unit increase on the same time last year.

Light-duty truck sales came to a total of 1,218 in April, down 210 on March but ahead by 105 compared to April 2021 and the best April light-duty result to be recorded to date. The segment now sits at 4,437 YTD, ahead 353 trucks on the same time last year. Isuzu again took a sizeable lead with 524 in April, down 52 on March but ahead by 51 on April 2021. This gives it a YTD of 1,731, which is 39 per cent of the light-duty market. Hino was down slightly with 300, but this is still ahead 32 on April 2021. Fuso took third place with 213 units, down from March’s 257 but ahead 41 on last year. Mercedes-Benz took over fourth place from Iveco with 74, up 30 on its March total, with Fiat also beating Iveco, bringing a total of 35. After March’s 97, Iveco took a tumble to 26.

Fleet Plant Hire knows the industry inside out, matching those looking for plant and truck contractors with local businesses that can meet their needs

Experts in the industry, providing a one stop service for plant, truck and material solutions to the civil construction industries

A lot of it does come down to the

the staff that we have

Based in the east Melbourne suburb of Scoresby, Fleet Plant Hire provides plant and truck hire and material solutions to Victorian construction businesses across the state. Covering everything from small backyard projects to large infrastructure works, Fleet Plant Hire operates a database of 2,000+ registered plant providers, matching high quality local contractors to clients needing operators, trucks and equipment. The company was set up in 1988 to service business' truck, plant and material needs, becoming a one-stop solution and removing the need for businesses to call round dozens of companies to see who could take it on. “There was definitely a gap in the industry as the infrastructure boom came about,” says Fleet Plant Hire systems and compliance manager Jade Brooks to Deals on Wheels. “The need for more contractors was there and that is how the business evolved. When the Eastlink was being built, that's when the business started to scale up, whilst sticking true to our core values and remaining a very family-orientated business.” Brooks says over the last four to five years, the business has been really pushing forward with innovation and technology, particularly for industry standards to be increased in Victoria, and it is setting a benchmark for what's expected.

She says that the Metro Tunnel project currently underway in Melbourne was another turning point for innovation for Fleet Plant Hire, seeing the full introduction of its custom built ‘eDocket’ system – a real time, paperless docket system to manage contractors, jobs and material tracking. “Construction relies on innovation and its ability to adjust, adapt, and advance,” says Brooks. “It’s been so rewarding to be involved in the journey and evolution of our systems, and to see and experience the positive impacts on our business, our staff, clients, contractors and the general industry. “The benefit of our systems being in-house means we are able to continuously evolve our system to advance our abilities and stay ahead of the curve.” For Fleet Plant Hire, one of the major drivers for change throughout its business surrounds the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) and Chain of Responsibility. In short, the law places obligations on those within the supply chain that are involved in any transport task. “We're very heavily focused on vehicle load safety as we have identified shortfalls in the ability for our clients and industry to effectively comply with their mass obligations,” Brooks explains.

Fleet Plant Hire is looking to recruit truck drivers in Victoria

Fleet Plant Hire systems and compliance manager Jade Brooks

Where there's

dirt

that's where we fit in

Fleet Plant Hire’s recent initiative to include free random vehicle load compliance checks as part of its service has allowed it to educate the industry on the technology and systems available in the market to assist primary contractors in complying with their mass obligations under the HVNL. “The technology and software are stateof-the-art and allows a site to clearly identify and understand the compliance of each and every load that leaves its site before it hits the road, removing the need for costly weighbridge setup and reliance on truck scales. We're continuously looking for new ways to make the industry better,” says Brooks. Speaking about how the business brings together its registered contractors with clients and their specific requirements, she says Fleet Plant Hire is a “dating service for dirt”. “Wherever there's dirt, that's where we fit in. So, if someone wants to get rid of it or someone needs it, we provide the resources and the knowledge to do so,” Brooks explains. And Fleet Plant Hire is always on the lookout for more contractors to sign up, especially with the current need for qualified drivers and machinery operators. “We have a definite shortage of drivers at the moment,” says Brooks. “Contractors can register their interest, what equipment they have and if they are looking for additional work. We then take them through a stringent, but easily navigated pre-qualification process, which sets the standard for them to understand what's expected. We ensure adherence to the law and give them the tools in order to do that as well. “We're trying to encourage people to consider making a career change and try jumping into a truck – there's a lot of truck companies registered with us who struggle to find drivers.” Fleet Plant Hire is also currently in discussion with a registered training

company to create an industry-specific course to increase the knowledge and skills of both new people coming into the industry and existing industry professionals who “need a little bit of a boost, an update on where the industry is at, so we ensure that they have got the right skills”, says Brooks. To ensure the highest degree of service, Fleet Plant Hire runs both an IS rated and ISO 9001: 2015 accredited system, which Brooks says is part of the company’s aim to continuously improve its offering to customers and contractors. “To be IS rated, which is a sustainability rating, is a pretty big thing to have as a plant hire agency. It really showcases just how good our systems are and the positive impacts we have made,” she says. But for Fleet Plant Hire, it isn’t just about innovation and technology. There is also a passionate team building the personal interactions with clients and contractors to ensure that the best outcome is achieved. “A lot of it does come down to the staff that we have,” explains Brooks. “We're very fortunate in the fact that the people we have in this office rarely change so the knowledge in the teams is crucial to how businesses like us operate. At the end of the day, it's about people. We engage with our contractors about the equipment that they hold and form that relationship with our clients, so we know exactly what that person's after. “It means we can assist clients in understanding what it is that they need and maybe reducing a booking because they actually don’t need that much machinery for example to handle a particular job. "We try and make it more efficient for both the client and the contractor to achieve the best result.” Fleet Plant Hire is currently looking for truck drivers in Victoria – to find out more, visit fph.com.au or call 03 9561 3988.

Alongside being experienced in Volvo trucks, Melbourne’s Volwreck supplies a wide range of aftermarket truck parts across the country for a range of European brands Opened in 2001 by John Lirosi and Graeme Troutbeck, and based in the northern suburbs of Melbourne, Volwreck is a familyowned specialist wrecker of Volvo trucks and a supplier of a wide range of new truck and trailer parts. Operating from its Glenbarry Road site in Campbellfield, Volwreck brings a high level of customer service and industry knowledge to the parts supply industry, servicing customers and companies across Australia. “We set up 21 years ago because there was a demand for spare parts in Volvo,” Volwreck’s Jeanette Spencer says. “We started with the wrecking yard, dismantling old Volvos and selling the second-hand parts, and then moved into the aftermarket range as we went along.” With Volvo still at the core of Volwreck’s business, it also supplies numerous parts for a wide range of European trucks, including Mercedes-Benz, DAF, MAN, Iveco and Renault importing them from Turkey and China for the Australian market. “Our directors had a wide range of exposure of Volvos through their apprenticeships,” Spencer explains of the focus on the Volvo brand. “So, they’re very knowledgeable. That’s

why we started with Volvo initially and then branched out from there with the aftermarket parts side of the business as people kept asking us for other European brands. “Graeme, in particular, is very knowledgeable regarding gearboxes, so he handles the reconditioning of those.” Asked what draws customers to Volwreck, Spencer says that same-day delivery is important for the business, to get parts to where they’re needed as soon as possible. “We also pride ourselves on our customer service,” she adds. “We have four sales reps and they try to get back to a customer within half an hour of a query. “We also recently opened a new showroom, in December of last year. Now we’re out of lockdown it’s been extremely busy. Parts are just flying off the shelves.” For more information about Volwreck or to get in touch, visit volwreck.com.au, call 03 9357 7081 or email info@volwreck.com.au.

HELPS THE NEEDY

Hands & Feet CEO Brad Scott founded a not-forprofit organisation that helps many. But when it came to expanding operations, Scott had to rely on Hyundai to come to the rescue

Hyundai provided a fleet of EX6 models

Loading up the Hyundai with food for the homeless and disadvantaged

They're so

easy

to drive

Since 2015, not-for-profit organisation Hands & Feet has been helping to feed homeless and disadvantaged people in major Australian cities. Hands & Feet started as a Sydney-based charity. But, by the end of 2021, Scott wanted to continue the group’s expansion into other cities like Brisbane and Perth. To do so, he knew he needed to change how he transported the organisation’s pallets of food. Scott got in touch with Hyundai Trucks to see what was feasible. He initially inquired if the vehicle dealer could offer him any deals on trucks, not expecting to see massive price reductions. “They got back to me very quickly and put it though their system,” Scott says. “When they rang me back they were ready to make large discounts to get us on the road again.” Hands & Feet food delivers food packs around Sydney, Brisbane and Perth, with plans to establish a Hands & Feet warehouse in Darwin as well. “We have now opened these new warehouses, all because the Hyundai team have been so generous to us,” Scott says. “We have two trucks based in Sydney and one in Perth, while the team are committed to providing more trucks in other states as we continue to open more warehouses.” Hyundai provided EX6 model to Hands & Feet to haul around six pallets' worth of food packs from markets. But with many volunteers helping to drive food around

without holding any heavy vehicle licences, Scott says Hyundai’s ability to suggest the EX4 model has been priceless. “The EX6 is slightly heavier and has proven excellent for a market run, but the EX4 allows us to drive them on car licences, so we can drop volunteers into them. They’re so easy to drive," says Scott. “The refrigeration system is so cool,” he adds. “The edges are so much thinner than in the old trucks, giving us more space, and the temperature can now go down to -16 degrees Celsius.” Scott says the current partnership between Hands & Feet and Hyundai Trucks will only continue to grow as the organisation continues expanding and upgrading its fleet. “Hyundai have been amazingly generous to us so we’ll continue to work with them,” Scott says. “We love these trucks – they are covering lots of kilometres and are eating them up.” For further information visit: www.handsandfeet.com.au.

A jaunt along the South Gippsland highway by our reviewer back in 2012 when the Kenworth T403 first came out showed off this truck’s great visibility and handling, both in the city and out on the road, even if the (lack of) seat padding left something to be desired. Here we have an example from 2013 sporting a MX13 455hp (339kW) engine and 18-speed Eaton Ultra Shift auto gearbox, AG460 suspension, a 36'' high rise sleeper, quad alloy tanks, OxBlood trim, Viesa bunk cooler and Jost greaseless turntable. An accessible cab, driving seat positioning that reduces sway and bounce, plus easy manoeuvring positions this truck as a versatile middle weight, rated to 50 tonnes.

If you’re looking for a younger model with a bit a bit more oomph than the T403, this 2018 Freightliner Coronado has a Detroit DD15 supplying 560hp (418kW) and also sports an Eaton 18-speed transmission.

’18 Freightliner Coronado 550hp 18-spd Eaton 830,000km $130,000 Somerton VIC 03 8373 7112

When our reviewer took the Coronado out for a spin not long after the Kenworth, it remained unphased by bad roads and cruised through a stormy Adelaide Hills with a sure-footed ease. Operator comfort was a stand-out along with great visibility from the cab, it was noted. Built for the long-haul, in the back is a large twin-berth sleeper with large amounts of storage, Icepack air con, a microwave and a drawer fridge. If the inside amenities weren’t enough, on the front is a K Craft bullbar, new DruraBright wheels and clean skin tyres have been fitted, and custom scrollwork touches abound.

For our third Premium Deal this month we have a 2008 6x4 Mack Granite with an alloy tipper body. Despite its age, this Mack still has a commanding presence with that huge maroon snout encasing a 500hp (373kW) Mack MP8 turbocooled engine. And it doesn’t just look good, this is a rugged workhorse with a solid build ideally suited to medium-duty applications. It comes with an 18-speed Roadranger, airbag rear suspension, a sleeper cab and Mack rear axles, while the tipper body has an electrically operated roll tarp, 50mm ring feeder and duomatic couplings. Coming in at just a shade under six figures, this a well cared-for unit that comes with maroon padding inside the cab and wood-look dash, while tasteful scrollwork will make this Bulldog stand out even more on site.

HVIA tests heavy vehicle load safety course The HVIA used a recent trucking conference to test its latest heavy vehicle safety programs The Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia (HVIA) facilitated a load restraint masterclass at the recent Trucking Australia 2022 conference to test its latest safety course for heavy vehicles. The session served as a key piece of research for HVIA to help inform a project funded by the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator’s (NHVR) heavy vehicle safety initiative. The outcomes of the well-attended session will also feed into an online load restraint training course that HVIA is currently developing. At the end of this process, HVIA wants to produce an interactive online training course, but it still requires more resources to properly aid performance in the area. HVIA’s national manager – communications and partnerships Steve Power chaired the session in front of an audience of industry leaders and was joined by roadside enforcement experts Russell Greenland and Jarrad Murphy from the NHVR safety and on-road compliance team.

“Load restraint is a fundamental principle of the Chain of Responsibility,” Power says. “The session agenda was cast to explore the safety culture, training and communication issues that typically cause load restraint failures – with potentially catastrophic results.” Power says the industry’s ability to question the status quo in the load restraint area is key to ensuring there aren’t grey areas for members going forward. “This isn’t about avoiding fines or managing reputational risk; it’s about very real risks and potential consequences, such as making sure no one is harmed,” Power says. Greenland also says that members should use the master code, which is an industry code of practice that was endorsed by the NHVR in 2018 and was a result of a joint project between the Australian Trucking Association (ATA) and the Australian Logistics Council (ALC). “We assume that you know what’s in that master code because it has

The HVIA is continuing to roll out its heavy vehicle training programs

been produced by industry. If you haven’t got these systems in place, you are leaving yourself very vulnerable,” Greenland says. Greenland is urging operators to consult the load restraint guide and go through the four processes of the angle and thickness of the webbing, the type of buckle used and the friction material underneath. The HVIA’s online load restraint course is intended to be available to all operators to reinforce and test comprehension of the load restraint guide’s fundamentals. “It’s one of many courses we will deliver through HVIA training on the back of the success of HV101,” Power says. The online course is scheduled to be launched at the Brisbane Truck Show in May next year, but the HVIA is also expecting to have it ready for initial testing sooner than that.

News The new tunnel will be the longest in Australia

NSW locks in longest national road tunnel A new tunnel will make Australian road history when construction begins next year The New South Wales government has confirmed it will be building an 11km toll-free tunnel in the Blue Mountains following an in-depth feasibility analysis and investigation. The new tunnel will be the longest in Australia and will run from Blackheath to Little Hartley, being chosen as a preferred option in the Great Western Highway upgrades across the Blue Mountains. The current highway is only one of two roads spanning the Blue Mountains that connects the central west of NSW to Sydney, with communities wanting upgrades for a long time. The tunnel will form part of an $8 billion Great Western Highway

upgrade that includes duplicating the 34km of road between Lithgow and Katoomba with dual carriageways. Previously the NSW government committed to building two smaller tunnels across choke points at Mount Victoria and Blackheath, but last year changed its tune to begin planning a singular longer tunnel. NSW minister for regional transport and roads Sam Farraway says the tunnel will benefit many in Sydney and western NSW. “This tunnel projects will help improve the economic development, productivity and accessibility in and through the Blue Mountains, Central West and Orana regions,” Farraway says.

“It will improve the resilience of the state’s major road corridors across the Blue Mountains during traffic incidents and the straighter alignment will improve road safety through the mountains and the tunnel to unlock the potential of western NSW.” The NSW government predicts the tunnel will save motorists up to 30 minutes between Katoomba and Lithgow during busy periods. While Transport for NSW will continue consulting with Blue Mountains and Central West communities about the project, deputy premier Paul Toole says the proposed tunnel will make national history. “This is a legacy project that will deliver safer and more efficient journeys for locals, tourists and freight travelling between the Central West and East Coast,” Toole says. “In May last year we started investigating plans to join the two to create the longest road tunnel in the country – and today we’re locking that plan in as the preferred option.” The NSW government says it’s on track for shovels to hit the ground early next year to begin construction of the tunnel.

Natroad wants subbies included in training boost NatRoad discusses the new transport training plan to upskill workers The National Road Transport Association (NatRoad) is calling for subbies to be included as part of the recent transport industry training boost to upskill workers. The association says one sweet spot in the federal budget was the support given to small businesses to allow them to upskill their employees through the skills and training boost. Assuming this measure passes after the recent election, small businesses with an aggregated annual turnover of less than $50 million may have access to a 20 per cent bonus tax deduction for the cost of external training courses delivered to their employees by Australian-registered providers. This means for every $100 spent on training by these companies, they can receive a $120 tax deduction. NatRoad is also asking for subcontractors to be included in this boost so the entire industry can benefit

from training designed to upskill many transport workers. NatRoad says there’s no limit on how much spending on training courses can be deducted by a small business at the bonus rate of 120 per cent but says the course must be run by an external education provider registered in Australia.

In this proposed training, the association warns that in-house and on-the-job training aren’t eligible, as NatRoad wants subbies involved. Money spent training people who are no longer employees of the business also isn’t included in this new scheme.

News Truck drivers and industries are combining to form an alliance

Industry combines against supply chain pressures A transport workers’ alliance has been formed to better protect employees against supply chain stress Union bodies and associations are joining forces to form an alliance that seeks to protect the transport industry and supply chain sector in the face of external pressures. The Transport Workers’ Union (TWU) says it is combining with the Australian Workers’ Union (AWU) and the Shop Distributive and Allied Employees Association (SDA) to make a Retail Supply Chain Alliance (RSCA) that represents workers throughout supply chains from farms to stores. The TWU says that lockdowns

and weather events have been compounded by the federal government refusing to listen to workers, leading to the RSCA being created with a set of supply chain safety principles that it presented to parliament. The RSCA’s principles calls for free rapid tests for all supply chain workers, the regulation of the gig economy to protect secure jobs and mandatory consultation with workers on policy changes that may disrupt supply chains. The creation of the RSCA comes

Lobby group to change SA transport policy

A state group wants to revamp SA’s current transport policy A new transport policy group consisting of researchers and community members is campaigning to update South Australia’s transport plan and upgrade public transport infrastructure. The Transport Action Network is asking the South Australian government to improve the quality of public transport while updating the regional rail and

improving transport infrastructure in SA. The network says it has been formed to help the government to produce an integrated transport and land use plan in line with the community’s wishes. In a landmark move, the group wants the federal government to fund transport projects based on this proposed plan along with independent assessments of

after Australian transport workers have been threatened by global companies like Amazon Flex undercutting drivers, according to the TWU. The TWU says that national secretary Michael Kaine and state secretary Richard Olsen joined other transport union representatives to discuss the global fight for safe rates as well as the importance of road safety and recovering after Covid. “With global threats like Amazon Flex and other undercutting players, these partnerships are crucial and the success of Australian transport workers in fighting for a fairer industry is inspiring other workers across the world,” the TWU says. “We will continue the fight to create supply chains that are fairer and safer. Transport workers have always been prepared to speak truth to power and that’s never been more important than now.” The TWU says the RSCA has been formed due to the federal government not adequately responding to the needs of transport workers.

A new transport policy group wants an updated transport plan for South Australia

each project, as the network says there has been no discussion about SA’s transport future. This suggestion would move funds away from mega-road projects and towards a wider range of transport programs that consider social, environmental and health impacts. The Transport Action Network is proposing that the SA government stops funding road capacity works and instead focus on public transport and infrastructure projects. The group has written a paper titled ‘Creating Transport Choices: A Call to Action’ that says that transport and land use decisions made in SA for the past 70 years have prioritised private motor vehicle travel and road freight transport instead of considering the community.

Need flagged for more accident training for truckies Western Roads Federation and NT Road Transport Association are calling for more training to help truck drivers first on the scene at road accidents There are calls for the federal government to fund training for truck drivers who are often the first on scene at horrific traffic accidents in remote and regional Australia. Western Roads Federation and Northern Territory Road Transport Association (NT RTA) say new industry research has shown that over 70 per cent of truck drivers in remote areas of Australia have been first on scene at vehicle accidents, in many cases more than once. Nearly 50 per cent of these truckies said they provided first aid and site control for over an hour before medical help arrived. These statistics are said to back up the findings of the National Road Safety Strategy 2021–30 that identified that 10 per cent of people killed on Australian roads crashed in remote or very remote areas. It also found that the risk to an individual of being killed on a road in these areas is 11 times (when comparing population rates) the risk in a major city. NT RTA executive officer Louise Bilato, a qualified psychologist, has been providing post-incident counselling to remote area truck drivers for over 30 years. She says the drivers are often traumatised. ‘’I’ve had incidents where drivers have provided first aid at horrific accident scenes for nearly two hours

by themselves before professional help arrived. And then they’re expected to just continue to their destination with no support at all,” Bilato says. “Obviously this takes its toll when you consider that less than six per cent of truck drivers access mental health services after a serious incident.” Bilato says a trial training program supported by Perth company TraumaSim has proved successful at helping truckies cope with serious road accidents both during and after the event. The training program, which is said to be highly realistic, claims to draw on relevant lessons from the Australian Defence Force and a remarkably successful Queensland Police program which won the World Police Safety Award and is reported to have now saved over 90 lives. The course content includes: • personal, site and scene safety procedures • how to call-in emergency response (when there’s no mobile coverage) • stopping the triad of death (hypothermia, acidosis, coagulopathy) • simulated scenario with hands-on skills practise • post-event mental health awareness and services. TraumaSim managing director Nola Pearce says the highly realistic trauma simulations work.

Training can build confidence to handle an accident situation as well as build postincident resilience

“The anecdotal feedback from Defence over the decade TraumaSim supported pre-deployment training to Afghanistan and Iraq was that the simulations helped participants deliver more effective first aid when it was needed whilst helping to improve post incident mental resilience,” Pearce says. Louise Bilato says the answer is clear: “The federal government must fund the training of 1,000 truck drivers. This training would see an ‘army’ of truck drivers with excellent first on scene skills. Skills that may help reduce the tragic statistics of remote area vehicle accidents.” The research hypothesis is that truck drivers who have been required to act as first on scene are more likely to be confident if they have trained for that role and truck drivers who are confident are less likely to be impacted by the event. The course content is designed to build the resiliency of truck drivers who may unintentionally find themselves as first on scene. The project, funded by the Heavy Vehicle Industry Safety Initiative, was led by the NT RTA supported by Western Roads Federation.

The FACTS group will make policy recommendations for a reduced emissions transport industry

Zero emission strategy Scientists and experts are working together to reduce the transport sector’s emissions

Coles and Linfox introduce electric truck The program is already shaving travel time off busy freight routes Coles has announced it will begin using an electric-powered truck to deliver stock to New South Wales stores in an electric vehicle trial with transport partner Linfox Logistics. Coles and Linfox will use a Fuso eCanter truck, which is powered entirely by 100 per cent renewable electricity, to deliver groceries from Coles’ Eastern Creek distribution centre in Sydney’s west to various Coles supermarkets across NSW. The electric truck will be a first for Coles and will help the company to avoid more than 60 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions each year. Coles says the electric truck trial is a significant step for Coles in its sustainability strategy and demonstrated how Coles is working with transport partners to reduce its carbon footprint. “Coles’ first electric truck is a big step to introducing alternate fuel technologies to our supply chain and we’re excited about the opportunity to see more electric vehicles delivering groceries to our distribution centres and supermarkets in the future,” Coles head of transport sustainability David Clark says.

The new Fuso eCanter will join Coles’ and Linfox’s fleet

“By working with Linfox we have considered the sustainability of the truck from its carbon footprint when operating to the end-of-lifecycle impacts on the environment.” Coles says it sought supplier partners who aligned with its sustainability values and that Linfox was a natural fit for the electric truck project. Clark says he hopes the two companies can work together to see how electric truck technologies evolves and to reach sustainability targets together. Linfox executive chairman Peter Fox says: “Working in partnership with a trusted Australian retailer such as Coles is where the switch to electric vehicles can make the biggest difference.” Coles customers with electric vehicles can also enjoy charging their cars while they shop at certain Coles and Coles Express sites, with the company setting up electric-charging stations at 14 total sites last year.

A group of 18 Australian transport and energy experts are coming together to devise a clear strategy for decarbonising the transport industry but remain sustainable, called a Framework for an Australian Clean Transport Strategy (FACTS). FACTS is an independent, science-based summary of the opportunities available to start decarbonising the transport industry both now and in the immediate future. When devised, FACTS says it will provide prioritised policy recommendations for all levels of Australian governments as well as industry members, drawing on the expertise of transport and energy scientists to inform the development of net zero transport strategy. The policies recommended will aim to support a net zero transport system by 2050 at the latest. “While individual Australian governments have taken some steps forward on decarbonising transport, we have not yet seen the level of policy ambition that is required for our country to achieve net zero emissions by 2050,” FACTS chair Dr Jake Whitehead says. “By joining our international trading partners in their transport decarbonisation efforts and altering course towards a rapid emissions reduction path, Australia can capture the major job creation and economic development opportunities that the transition to a decarbonised transport sector can deliver.” FACTS aims to provide a positive contribution to the public discussion on transport decarbonisation, offering an expert lens on how Australia can avoid the harmful impacts of climate change. The group seeks to advocate for action on transport decarbonisation, highlight key transition considerations, outline targets and provide expert policy on transition to a net zero industry.

TWU national secretary Michael Kaine

Landmark food delivery deal In an industry-first, the TWU is partnering with an online food ordering company to pursue better gig workers’ rights The Transport Workers Union (TWU) has announced it has signed a landmark deal with food delivery group DoorDash to provide fairer conditions for gig workers in the transport industry. TWU national secretary Michael Kaine released the new agreement with DoorDash in his keynote speech at the TWU national council, held recently. “After months of negotiations and activism, DoorDash has agreed to link arms with the TWU and pursue a regulatory framework that pushes for industry-wide rights and entitlements,” he said. Kaine said this landmark partnership is all about “the unregulated seeking the security of enforced standards for all”, as DoorDash will partner with the TWU to lobby for gig workers’ rights. The TWU will release a set of principles that will guide the partnership forward to revolutionise rights for workers in the gig industry. In a three-stage process, Kaine says the TWU and DoorDash will collectively look to develop new and fair standards for transport workers before jointly lobbying them to the next federal government to enforce them. “Workers shouldn’t be prohibited from accessing rights and entitlements,” Kaine says. “They must have transparency and the opportunity to contribute to a collective voice. They need appropriate resources established and maintained – it’s about education, enforcement and training.” Kaine told the TWU national council that the union will now work to commit in writing to the three-stage approach agreed to by DoorDash. Australian Labor Party (ALP) Tasmania leader Rebecca White said the gig economy needs this regulatory framework to maintain the safety of truck drivers across Australia. “We want people to understand what reforms the ALP can provide, and we want truckies to use the roads safely and have the right conditions to not add to the fatalities statistic.”

Autocare owner drivers win in Victoria Following weeks of action, Autocare drivers in Victoria have won their pay dispute while Port of Brisbane operators continue to struggle The Victoria/Tasmania branch of the Transport Workers Union (TWU) has announced that owner drivers working for Autocare in Victoria have broken through to win pay increases following disputes with the company. Victorian Autocare drivers parked up their trucks in April and stood their ground while arguing for a wage increase that aligned with recent inflation. The TWU recently revealed that the Victorian workers were successful in their action, receiving variable wage increases that have satisfied their demands. “Eventually Autocare came back and offered significant wage increases that range from four to 11 per cent inclusive of tolls,” a TWU spokesperson says. “They also agreed to conditions surrounding further discussions or mechanisms to address any cost modelling issues in future.” This pay increase now means Autocare drivers can cover their operational needs while also earning

Autocare workers have now received a pay increase

a living, according to the TWU. In the newly negotiated contract between rural and metro drivers and Autocare itself, the TWU says drivers can now address any cost modelling issues arising over the lifespan of the contract instead of having to wait for its expiry. “It’s a significant win for owner drivers,” the TWU says. “After weeks of pain, we are proud of everyone for winning a remarkable outcome. Day in, day out throughout the dispute these members never gave up, even when the going got tough.” The TWU also offered an update on drivers in Queensland’s Port of Brisbane who are currently undergoing a similar dispute with Autocare. At the time of going to press TWU and Autocare drivers had met with the company to discuss a potential new offer.

News Part of Napier Street in Footscray will be closed to trucks

West Melbourne council to track trucks flouting ban Traffic management cameras and road bans will be operating in Maribyrnong to move trucks away from residential areas The Melbourne-based Maribyrnong City Council is welcoming a state government investment in traffic management cameras to help move thousands of trucks away from residential areas. Up to $350,000 will be spent on cameras that monitor truck movements to identify problem areas, especially where legislated bans restricting trucks on certain roads at certain times are breached. There will also be signs erected from next month that alert drivers that A and B doubles aren’t allowed. The council will work with the Maribyrnong Truck Action Group, Victorian Transport Association and National Heavy Vehicle Regulator to update a guide that educates truck

drivers on where they can travel in the western suburbs. Maribyrnong mayor Anthony Tran says the council has been advocating to the government for some time to get large trucks off local roads for safety and health reasons. “The emissions from around 34,000 trucks passing through our municipality daily is impacting the quality of the air our residents breathe, which is in turn contributing to poor health outcomes, especially relating to heart and lung complaints that are among the worst in the inner west,” Tran says. “Anything that will reduce the air pollution levels for our residents is celebrated but more is needed.” Tran wants to see the government

mandating cleaner trucks that emit less pollution on the roads in line with certain investigations and improvement plans. “My comments are not antitruckies but pro-residents health and wellbeing,” Trans says. On top of the $6.7 billion West Gate Tunnel project that aims to remove 9,000 rucks a day from local streets, the state government is also implementing strict curfews to prevent a further 5,000 trucks from taking ‘rat runs’ to avoid freeways. The 24-hour truck bans will apply to: • Francis Street between Roberts Street and Hyde Street • Somerville Road between Geelong Road and Whitehall Street • Buckley Street and part of Napier Street between Geelong Road and Whitehall Street • Moore Street between Ballarat Road and Hopkins Street • Hudsons Road between Melbourne Road and Booker Street • Blackshaws Road between Grieve Parade and Melbourne Road The state government is looking to ban all diesel and petrol vehicle sales by 2030, with legislation to reduce emissions from diesel trains and replacing them with electro-diesel trains also being fast tracked.

Melbourne West freight route upgrades Melbourne’s west will face a safety revamp for freight operators The Victorian government says it will invest over $50 million into upgrading roads along key Melbourne west freight routes in its latest budget. The funding includes $41 million towards delivering road projects in Melbourne’s west to improve traffic flow and allow for freight to pass more efficiently through the region. A further $15.4 million will go towards updating the South Gippsland Highway/ Clyde Five Ways Road intersection and installing traffic lights to allow more safer and quicker travel through the area. The initial $41 million boost is part of the budget’s $125.7 million Metropolitan Roads Upgrades Program that will help upgrade many west Melbourne critical freight routes. Safety and crash reduction traffic lights will be introduced at Derrimut Road/

Safety works will occur along freight routes in Melbourne’s west

Hopkins Road and Tarneit’s Boundary Road, helping to connect several suburbs near Tarneit and open a major freight route to access the Princes Highway.

Further safety works will also commence in Sunshine North, Melton and Plumpton as part of the western roads upgrade. More enhancements will also occur on the South Gippsland Highway, where a realignment job for Fisheries Road intends to free up space for an expanded freight route. The South Gippsland Highway/ Clyde Five Ways project will address an uncontrolled right turn, which currently accounts for almost 50 per cent of crashes recorded at the intersection according to the state government. Along this Melbourne west plan to revolutionise major freight roads, the Victorian government is also planning on upgrading roads in south-eastern suburbs in its latest budget.

SARTA responds to NHVR camera trial

SA is introducing recycled materials to make road building greener

Steve Shearer says his association supports the new camera trials The South Australian Road Transport Association (SARTA) has replied to the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator’s (NHVR) new safety camera installation trial. The NHVR says it will launch five new cameras, attached to drones and trailers, to scan heavy vehicle number plates and help monitor speed in Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales. Many truck operators have disagreed with the move, but SARTA CEO Steve Shearer told ATN the new move shouldn’t be an issue for most drivers who do the right things on the road. “Operators who do the right thing like driver safely and comply with the speed limit will have nothing to be concerned about,” Shearer says. Shearer says he has been in discussions with the NHVR about introducing these new measures and that the trial will help enforcement regulators catch the minority of operators who aren’t driving safely on the roads. According to SARTA, monitoring roads where operators are speeding and driving for excessive hours has been a difficult and expensive task for the NHVR to complete. Shearer says the new trial is a huge step forward for the regulators to enforce safe driving and tackle speeding. “The problem with speeding is you must be out there to see it, but it’s a

More monitoring of speed will be happening on Australian roads

very expensive exercise to complete with human beings,” Shearer says. “The number plate recognition cameras fill the gap between safety cameras and human monitoring. We know there are drivers who go crazy between cameras and then slow down, so this may help stop that.” Shearer says this new trial will be a useful tool to catch out the minority of operators who bring an ‘every person for themselves’ mentality to driving on the roads. “That behaviour can be tackled by the regulator using drones and trailer mounted number plate recognition cameras, so we support the move,” he says. According to SARTA, the new cameras aren’t being deployed to catch drivers going two kilometres an hour over the speed limit. Instead, the technology is being introduced to catch drivers who go 20 or 30 kilometres an hour over the speed limit and to stop operators who speed for a commercial advantage. “A small group of individual drivers hold a ‘king of the road’ mentality, and that’s not the way anymore,” Shearer says. “It’s people who go along at 120 kilometres an hour who will get sprung, and so they should.”

SA road network goes greener The ARRB is introducing recycled building materials to South Australian roads The Australian Road Research Board has revealed it is receiving funding from Green Industries South Australia to work on a project that builds local council confidence in using recycled materials in their road networks. The project consists of five key components and aims to improve the awareness and confidence of local stakeholders in adopting and increasing the uptake of recycled materials in South Australia’s road networks. The components include knowledge capture of innovative and sustainable pavement materials containing recycled materials like tyres, plastic and glass, as well as developing an implementation framework to increase the uptake of these materials on SA roads. Other components also feature the environmental implications of incorporating these materials into case studies and infrastructure, lifecycle assessment on three pavements designs containing recycled materials and the promotion of project outcomes through webinars and workshops on social media. Alongside these components, the project will also look to contribute to SA’s local circular economy through job creation, landfill diversion, reduced lifecycle costs and greenhouse gas emission reduction.

An idea for independence – is a Victorian heavy vehicle regulatory body worthwhile? It was make or break for Rod Barton recently when he pitched his proposal to state parliament. Now, the Victorian heavy vehicle industry may soon be run by a new body Politician Rod Barton stood in front of Victorian state parliament. His voice echoed throughout the chamber. “Owner drivers are everyday Australians, entrepreneurs and contributors to our society,” he said. “Their jobs are based on a fair go. “We need regulation to kill off contractor loopholes that enable the exploitation of drivers.” When Barton finished spruiking the idea of creating an independent heavy vehicle regulatory body in Victoria, the fate of his notion hung in the balance. An independent system isn’t a new move for other Australian states – New South Wales has had an autonomous heavy vehicle body

in place since 1996. But a similar body would set a new precedent for Victoria, which has, for so long, relied on government bodies and unions to clash over industry standards. Following Barton’s speech, the opposition voted against it becoming reality. But the tide had turned. The entire crossbench, except for members of the Liberal Democrats party, supported the notion. In a telling move, the state government didn’t oppose the move. The idea for an independent transport body in Victoria was passed through parliament. Reflecting on the milestone achievement, Barton said it was

a crucial first step to securing a transport regulatory body in Victoria. “It’s massive for the industry,” he told ATN. “The government didn’t vote against the idea, which is a real signal that they think it’s the right thing to do.” The passed proposal for an independent heavy vehicle regulatory body in Victoria began late last year. As an aspiring member of state parliament, Barton says he has “been constantly working on areas in the trucking industry related to commercial and rideshare vehicles”. Barton says he is unhappy with the current state of the gig economy and hopes this move for an independent

Feature Rod Barton

body could change the state’s transport industry for the better. The politician didn’t have to look far for inspiration. New South Wales has had an independent body governing transport for more than 25 years. Barton’s first step in drafting a proposal for Victoria to follow suit was to travel to NSW and meet with members of the tribunal. “We went and met with officials in NSW and union people from the Transport Workers’ Union,” Barton says. “We also met with government people and the NSW state opposition so we could learn what they are doing.” But the potentially illuminating trip only brought to light a significant challenge that Victoria would have to overcome if it was to implement its own independent transport body. When Jeff Kennett was Victoria’s premier in the 1990s, his state government handed over industrial relations powers to the federal government. Thirty years later it has created what Barton refers to as “a small hurdle” that the state must leap over. Although the independent body proposal was passed through parliament, the Commonwealth still has power over the matter. It’s taken time to get through Victorian parliament, but Barton says it will be worthwhile for vulnerable drivers who are being exploited by operators and large companies. “The exploitation of drivers and the demands placed on them is unacceptable,” he says. “We know that transport drivers are earning below the minimum wage and driving more than they should be – they are fatigued and it’s awful. “This is all a safety-related issue. We have a chain of responsibility, starting with how drivers behave and it goes on to parliament rules and regulations – we all have our hands on that chain.” Under the proposed new system, Barton says the independent body

would allow for Victorian transport workers to receive fair rates of pay more consistently. He also says that workers in Victoria could determine steady contributions towards super and receive a fair set minimum rate. Fellow state politician Sonja Terpstra supported Barton’s idea in parliament, rising to defend his idea and highlight the need for an increased focus on transport worker safety. “The tax on workers from conservative governments never end – all in the name of profit,” Terpstra said. “It’s offensive to hear about market solutions as markets don’t care about workers. “If the market could, then it would have unmanned trucks on the roads.” Is more legislation needed? But not everyone in the transport industry finds the move necessary. National Road Transport Association (NatRoad) CEO Warren Clark says that he is all for supporting truckies’ rights. The need for an independent body, however, may just add more confusion. “What it appears to us is that there is already legislation in place covering owner drivers and to us it’s just duplication,” Clark told ATN. “I don’t know why we need it. It’s not necessary; it’s duplicating the legislation already there and making it all more complicated. “We’ve already got an industry

that’s over-regulated and overlegislated. We don’t want to see it get even more confusing.” Clark points to determinations like the Owner Drivers and Forestry Contractors Act 2005 as an example of current legislation in place to protect transport workers. Although NSW does have its own body to regulate the industry, the NatRoad CEO says it’s not worthwhile to consider doing the same in Victoria. “Victoria already has additional legislation protecting truck drivers that other states don’t have,” Clark says. “When you have truck drivers working from state to state, it becomes impossible to keep on top of. “We don’t want to see any more legislation that makes it more complex or adds duplications to our system.” Although not everyone in the transport industry is supportive of the idea, the recent proceedings mean Victoria may be on the way to establishing an independent tribunal anyway. After securing the “massive result”, Barton will be helping the state government to consider the parameters of the idea with the hope of eventually establishing this new independent transport body. “Now the government has to think about it, our next step is helping the government investigate the gig economy to see how it meshes with our recommendations,” Barton says.

A major Queensland freight route could be re-opened by September

Gold coast freight route to re-open this year The Queensland department of transport and main roads has released a re-opening date for a major Gold Coast thoroughfare Queensland’s department of transport and main roads has announced that a major freight route outside of Gold Coast is set to re-open by September following significant damage. The department says reconstruction work to repair Tamborine Mountain Road will be finished within the coming months. The transport department says the cliff-face has since been secured and now the focus turns to restoring the damaged road to allow for freight traffic to renew services through the area by September. “The complex nature of the work zone and the incredibly steep terrain, on top of heavy rain periods, has meant reconstruction has taken longer than initially anticipated, but we are pleased to see significant progress being made,” transport and main roads acting regional director Andrew Wheeler says. “The project team has successfully anchored large, unstable rocks and installed steel mesh on the cliff-face to stabilise the steep slope and restore safety.” The transport department acknowledges it’s been a “massive effort” to complete the work, with employees having to hang on ropes to help secure the rock face and allow for the road to be restored. Wheeler says the damaged road will be rebuilt and remaining landslips on Tamborine Mountain Road will be repaired for freight operators using the route. “A large catch fence has been installed on the upslope to reduce the risk of rock falls and ensure it is safe to work on the road below,” he says. “We thank the local community for being patient. We know this project has impacted residents and businesses, but safety has always been our number one priority.”

WA introduces heavy vehicle rest area program Upgrades in 13 areas will provide more rest areas for WA truck drivers The Western Australian government has announced it will upgrade rest area facilities for heavy vehicle operators at 13 locations across the state. The upgrades form part of a $50 million freight vehicle productivity improvement program to help ensure the safety of truck drivers and limit driver fatigue issues. Both the federal and state governments are funding the program to allow for better safety in turning movements and parking, while also providing breakdown areas for combination vehicles to reduce noise and dust. Along with the construction of ablution blocks at certain places, the first phase of the program includes a $20 million investment across 13 locations in the Pilbara, Mid-West, Wheatbelt, Goldfields and SouthWest regions. Work has already begun at Munjina’s heavy vehicle rest area adjacent to the Auski-Munjina roadhouse, with the upgrades including the sealing of the area to improve heavy vehicle access. All improvements are due for completing in late 2022 as works progressively begin on each of the 13 locations over the next six months. Pilbara will be the most affected

The heavy vehicle rest areas will help improve driver safety according to the WA government

area, as six different projects will occur along the Great Northern Highway and on Marble Bar Road. Four separate works in the MidWest and Gascoyne will further improve the highway for heavy vehicles, while singular upgrades in Wheatbelt, Goldfields Esperance and South-West will solidify the area. Consultations with the Transport Workers Union WA Branch, Western Roads Federation and the Livestock and Rural Transport Association of WA helped identify the locations for the priority projects. “Our freight drivers in WA provide an essential service and are key for delivering critical supplies across the country,” WA transport minister Rita Saffioti says. “The heavy vehicle industry has advocated for all needs to be addressed in one placing creating a ‘one stop’ approach and we are delivering these improvements to support road safety and provide greater opportunities for heavy vehicle operators to utilise as part of their fatigue management.”

know if there is any work going on in the background. “No one has a clue what’s going on.”

Are we heading for a second Adblue shortage? AdBlue supplies were meant to be restored late last year. But now the proposed closure of Australia’s primary manufacturing plant spells trouble all over again. Sean Mortell reports Just late last year Warren Clark was left deeply frustrated as AdBlue supplies were cut. But now, the National Road Transport Association (NatRoad) CEO is feeling a sense of déjà vu. “It’s frustrating because it was already a problem last year,” Clark told ATN. “And now we are back to worrying about it again.” In November and December last year, the supplies of the diesel exhaust fluid were suddenly cut when China banned the exportation of AdBlue ingredients. Until this point, China’s exports of AdBlue had made up 80 per cent of Australia’s supply of the critical fluid. It was only fixed when the federal government mobilised the Incitec Pivot Limited-owned Gibson Island plant in Brisbane to domestically produce the fluid en-masse. But, after the Morrison government announced it would strip its recently applied funds to the Queensland

NatRoad CEO Warren Clark

plant before the end of the year, supplies of AdBlue could plummet again. “We haven’t heard anything whatsoever from the federal government,” says Clarke of the decision made before the election. “The frustrating part is we don’t

Take two Just months after having to scramble to find a new source of AdBlue production, the Australian transport industry is now on guard, yet again, to find more supplies. With funding being stopped for the Brisbane production plant, it will be forced into closing. This could once again threaten the supplies of AdBlue and urea. If it does dry up again, Clark is concerned about the impact it will have on many members of the industry. “AdBlue is essential for all Euro 5 motors onwards,” he says. “So anything made in the past 10 years that is a heavy vehicle will stop if we don’t do anything about this issue. “The effects will be widespread across the transport sector and felt by everyone.” The NatRoad CEO blamed the Morrison government for the potential predicament that Australia’s transport industry will find itself in if the Gibson Island plant closes later this year. He says that NatRoad initially “slingshotted the idea of a problem” to the government late last year when China banned urea exports, resulting in a $29 million boost into the Brisbane facility. Clark says no one would’ve known about the AdBlue shortage if NatRoad hadn’t alerted the government to the issue. Now, the Morrison government’s change of heart in funding what Clark calls a “band-aid solution” in the Incitec Pivot plant is threatening to plunge the industry into more murky waters. “After funding the problem until next year the federal government then comes out and intends to shut the plant,” Clark says. “We don’t have a long-term solution

and that’s what the industry needs – it needs security. “The impacts of an AdBlue shortage will hit the majority of the larger operators, as 90 to 95 per cent of their vehicles rely on AdBlue. The problem is the exact same as it was six months ago.” Clark remains critical of a government committee devised to find a solution for future AdBlue supplies. He says “not a lot has come out of it” and that the industry has received no updates. Clark is now fearful that the problem will once again come to a head. The NatRoad CEO wants members of the transport industry to begin raising the issue that has the potential “to be bigger than all of and the industry as a whole”. He wants the current government to find a permanent solution and says the only way to get their attention is to make a noise. “Everyone in the industry should not panic-buy supplies of AdBlue but, instead, begin talking about it again,” Clark says. “It’s time to talk about it and raise the issue with fuel suppliers and local politicians – unless we build momentum, we’ll hit October and worry again. “We’ve raised the issue, now someone needs to be working to solve it and advise us about it.” Permanent solution needed Clark isn’t the only transport industry member who is pessimistic about the future supplies of AdBlue. Vinh Thai is a supply chain and logistics expert at Melbourne’s RMIT University and says Australia needs to begin working on a solution to make AdBlue supplies sustainable. “What we’ve learnt is we can’t solely rely on domestic sources, nor international supply chains, to fully source AdBlue,” Thai told ATN. “Brisbane’s plant is currently

producing around three million litres of AdBlue a week, but how sustainable is this as a temporary solution? “If we don’t do anything then this issue won’t resolve itself by the end of the year.” According to Thai, there are two paths Australia can take when it comes to establishing permanent supplies of AdBlue and urea. The nation can look to overseas imports, like what was previously arranged with China until diplomatic issues ceased the trade deal, or it can build more plants in Australia to manufacture the fluid. Thai says that his preferred solution is a combination of the two, with some supplies coming from overseas while domestic plants are established for local produce. “A two-pronged approach would be best,” Thai says. “I want to see us building domestic capabilities for AdBlue while also diversifying the international supply chain. “While we do this, we should also be building our ability to provide hydrogen-fuelled vehicles as an alternative. But establishing these hubs will take a lot of time that we don’t have right now.” When sourcing international imports of urea, Thai urges the federal government to look at nearby countries first in the

Asia-Pacific region for solutions. “We need to look at sources of supply that are closer to home like Indonesia or Vietnam, as Middle Eastern countries are a long journey and supply chains could be exposed to much more uncertainty,” Thai says. While this occurs, Thai also wants Australia to look at properly funding a permanent AdBlue production plant. If the Incitec Pivot plant on Brisbane’s Gibson Island is to close, then Thai has another idea in another state for a viable option. “The plant would have to be in a state where agriculture plays a leading role, like in Victoria,” he says. Thai, much like Clark, isn’t hopeful that the federal government will act as quickly as required due to the recent election and changeover of government. But when the dust settles, Thai says the issue must be acted on before the transport industry begins hurting yet again. “No one knows what the intention of the government was when they cut funding for the Brisbane plant,” Thai says. “But, if there’s no more international supply and we let the Gibson Island plant close, I’m pessimistic about the outcome. “It could be really damaging news for the transport industry in our country if no action is taken soon.”

Feature Truck stop training has come under fire as the industry discusses how to keep the roads safe

Driver danger: the troubles with truck training A driver shortage means heavy vehicle licencing is becoming easier to get in Australia. But is it setting a dangerous precedent? Sean Mortell reports Livestock transport driver Daniel has witnessed plenty during his truck driving career. Whether it be trucks flying towards him head on down the wrong side of the road or vehicles nearly plummeting through roadworks, many horrifying scenes have floated across Daniel’s windscreen over the years. “What I see on the roads would scare the average person,” Daniel told ATN. “I’ve seen truck drivers terrorise the public on the roads and give us all a bad name.” Having been in the industry for nearly 15 years, Daniel remembers first heading off to training to receive his heavy vehicle licence. He went through the heavy rigid program in a week-long course at Werribee TAFE under an ex-truckie. While there he learnt the rights and wrongs of truck driving, as well as essential lessons like how to tie down loads. When he passed the course and went onto the roads as a qualified operator, Daniel says he felt “reasonably comfortable going out on the road”.

Years later Daniel returned to get his B-Double licence. He went one-onone with the same ex-truckie trainer. Daniel says he was taught a lot he wouldn’t have learnt otherwise from driving Australia’s roads daily. With truck and road safety now a pressing issue in the transport industry, Daniel says it’s these training standards that make the world of difference for truckies. “Nowadays you see training groups on Facebook advertising people to get their B-Double licence within one day for $1,500,” Daniel says. “That doesn’t prepare people for what’s out here on the road. “People are coming into the industry afresh, whether it be from overseas or Australia, and getting their B-Double ticket within eight hours when they shouldn’t even be allowed to drive a ride-on lawn mower.” Dangers to others Daniel now refuses to drive at night. He only takes day delivery jobs and often uses longer and quieter routes to get from Victoria to New South

Wales and South Australia rather than taking the popular freight roads used by many truck drivers. It’s because of these new truck drivers that Daniel has changed his driving habits. When he sees recently-qualified truck drivers getting into trouble, Daniel can understand why the general public is scared of many trucks on the road. According to Daniel, new drivers who have only gone through one day of training have created the biggest problem currently facing the transport industry. “I watched a truck driver nearly take out a roadworks crew the other day because they weren’t paying attention,” Daniel says. “They came in at 80 kilometres an hour in a 40 zone and had to cut cars off to avoid taking the crew out. “I actually passed the driver earlier and saw them with their feet on the dash and earphones in, not paying attention – this is why we as a collective have a bad reputation.” Automated trucks and new technology have been introduced into the industry as a means of making modern truck driving easier. But when trucks are hauling 65 to 68 tonnes a trip and are responsible for this heavy load getting down the road, Daniel says new drivers need to be taught the basics. This includes the simple things, from how to stay concentrated to how to unhook trailers. “I remember being shown how to hook up a trailer and unhook it correctly,” Daniel says. “Drivers now have no idea how to do a quick hitch or pull the kingpin, yet they have B-double licences. “It scares me for the family I have on the road and myself – I quite often see trucks driving down the wrong side of the road.” But the issue isn’t simple.

wants truck driver training groups to actively hunt experienced former drivers to lure them back into the industry and train the next generation. If novices can be taught the way he was, Daniel says the truck driving industry could become safer in the future. Who pays? However, driver training schools say it’s not that easy. Transport Driver Training (TDT) was founded 25 years ago to help emerging industry workers receive their truck licences. In a continual fight to bring former drivers back as trainers, TDT state operations manager Gary Buckeridge told ATN that the industry needs to expand the pool of high-quality trainers. “It’s currently expensive now,” Buckeridge says. “People say courses should go for days but who is paying for it if it does? Is it the students or do transport companies pay for it?” TDT is one of the many training groups that offer a one-day course for heavy rigid licences. But the group has devised its own way of ensuring its graduates are safe and capable truck operators. TDT first starts with a skills validation process for courses ranging from light rigid licences to heavy rigid qualifications. After the student passes a knowledge test, the trainer works with them to ensure

their skills are up to standard before heading to a practical assessment. But in a promise that TDT makes clear to all its students before commencing the course, students must have their skills validated by the trainer before going to the assessments. This means some students don’t get to go to the assessment process that day if they aren’t ready. It may result in plenty of unhappy prospective drivers, but Buckeridge says it’s a necessary precaution that TDT must take. “People come in and expect to get a licence straight up in one day, but they won’t be able to do it with TDT if they don’t have the skills,” he says. “We pride ourselves on having safe and competent truck drivers, it’s a hand on heart thing. “TDT has never had a fatality from any of its students yet and we pride ourselves on that.” If students aren’t ready to head to the assessment in the one day allotted for the course, it’s up to them or their operator to pay for the student to return the next day and learn until they are ready to be tested. Although it doesn’t directly satisfy Daniel’s wish to extend training course durations, TDT says it’s still an effective way of weeding out drivers who aren’t yet ready to take to the roads. Both Buckeridge and Daniel agree that finding skilled trainers who have

The team at TDT Training

had experience in the industry is the key component required to produce better truck drivers going forward. Although it may be considered a lowranking job for many ex-truckies, Buckeridge says it’s a constant struggle that TDT is always trying to change. “There is a genuine shortage of heavy vehicle licence trainers across the industry,” he says. “Passionate industry experienced truckies make for great trainers.” But, if Daniel is to get his wish to see heavy vehicle licencing become stricter, Buckeridge says consistency across Australia is critical. If laws are tough in Victoria but drivers can head up to Queensland to get licences easier, then Buckeridge says the whole system will revert to its current model quickly. It’s not just a regulation problem – it’s a matter of safety. “The key is consistency across all heavy vehicle licence providers and across the nation,” he says. “They say licencing is national but it’s different in each state. “If it’s national we need consistency across the board. It’s the main way to keep our country safe and to ensure only highly skilled drivers hit the roads so we can become a safer industry.”

20 Fuso Shogun 510s will be delivered this year

TP Group fleet expands Five new Fuso Shogun 510s have joined TP Group’s fleet The five Shoguns are part of an order that will see 20 Fuso Shogun 510s delivered to TR Group this year. TR Group is the largest truck and trailer rental company in New Zealand and is rapidly expanding its footprint in Australia. In addition to the Shoguns there are 15 Mercedes-Benz Actros models, with more to come this year. Specially developed for Australia, the range-topping Shogun 510 packs a mountainous 2,500Nm of torque and 510 horsepower (380kW), thanks to an advanced Daimler-sourced 13-litre engine. In addition, the advanced power unit also features Euro 6 emissions ratings, a big plus for customers keen on emission reduction. TR Group Australia general manager, Chris Perry, says the company was keen to get the Shogun 510 into its fleet. “The advanced safety and performance of the Shogun 510 make it an ideal truck for TR Group,” Perry says. “Our customers want new trucks with the latest technology and we know the 13-litre Shogun’s 510hp and especially its 2,500Nm of torque is sure to make it a popular addition to our fleet,” he adds. Perry said the Shogun 510’s safety technology was a big plus. “TR Group operates the latest trucks and trailers and we always place a very strong emphasis on safety,” Perry says. “Features such as advanced emergency braking system, active attention assist and lane departure warning system all tie in with TR Group’s safety-first approach,” he adds.

Industry combines for life saving truck reform Industry bodies say the transport industry needs to continue striving for an independent sector body Major transport industry groups are welcoming the new federal government and calling on the sector to participate constructively in a new trucking reform committed to under the Labor party’s platform. The new federal government pledges to act on Senate recommendations tabled last year that called for an independent body to set universal binding standards on the transport industry, all in the name of making the sector safer and fairer for drivers. The Senate recommendations acted on evidence from 150 witnesses and 128 submissions covering the trucking industry over a two-year inquiry. Six years ago the coalition government deregulated the road safety body and put nothing in its place, with industry bodies like the Transport Workers’ Union (TWU) calling for the independent watchdog to be reinstated. “A Labor federal government is a welcome change after the coalition’s refusal to address deadly pressures in trucking,” TWU national secretary Michael Kaine says. “Industry-wide standards will remove the ‘Amazon effect’ smashing supply chains. Right across the industry there is a common interest in the security of enforceable

The transport industry wants the new government to focus on truck safety

standards to protect jobs, businesses and lives against exploitation and unfair competition through gigstyle loopholes. “It is critical an independent body is established urgently and with the support of industry participation to set enforceable standards in an effective and sustainable way.” The TWU, along with the Australian Road Transport Industrial Organisation (ARTIO) and National Road Freighters Association (NFA), wants the industry to work together to ensure the new regulatory body is implemented in the right way so that it is sustainable and equipped to tackle industry concerns. If it can occur, the industry says it could usher in welcome relief for workers and operators. ARTIO secretary Peter Anderson says: “Finally reform is on the way. If we all work together and contribute constructively to the formation of an independent body, then we will all benefit from the protection of universal standards.” NRFA president Rod Hannifey says: “We need the same unity showed in the Senate inquiry with all stakeholders playing an active role in shaping reform.”

The impact of poorly maintained truck stops They were quickly forgotten during Covid-19 lockdowns. But now truck drivers are returning to rest stops only to find them in horrific condition. Sean Mortell reports The United petrol station at Ilbilbie is like many in regional Australia. Truck drivers transporting goods along Queensland’s north-east coast can enjoy a break at the station along the Bruce Highway. But, since the easing of Covid restrictions has allowed truckies to return to using rest stops, the Ilbilbie station has been mentioned plenty of times on United’s Facebook page – and not for the right reasons. “The United servo at Ilbilbie was great years ago, but it now needs a D6 bulldozer to fix it,” one Facebook member says on the United page. “I started going up that way about six months ago and what I found the other day was what I would call the worst I’ve come across.” The scene described by the user sounds like a truck driver’s worst nightmare. “Signs saying ‘sorry no water’ were reinforced by a clogged toilet”, the user says. The hi-flow bowser refused to work. Previously the user tried that same bowser and “got splashed with diesel” when the auto-stop function didn’t kick in. When venturing to other toilets outside, the user didn’t encounter any cleaner amenities.

Truck stop cleanliness is becoming a massive health and safety issue for the transport industry according to truck drivers

Victorian minister for infrastructure Jacinta Allan

“When I walked to the male toilets in the donga outside, the smell that greeted me didn’t prepare me for what I found,” the user says. “It clearly wasn’t fresh, I had to use the ladies’ toilet instead.” Truck drivers around Australia are taking to Facebook to vent about the messy conditions they are finding when they reach rest stops. For an industry that remained operational during Covid lockdowns and floods that hit New South Wales, Queensland and South Australia

and kept the country going, being treated to unsanitary conditions is a massive issue. Industry bodies like the Victorian Transport Association (VTA) say more truck stops are needed to allow for more parking and access for heavy vehicle combinations travelling on Australian freight routes. “There is no doubt we need more truck stops in Australia to service the growing freight task and the needs of interstate drivers,” VTA CEO Peter Anderson told ATN. “Fatigue management is paramount for long distance linehaul freight operators.” But before any new truck stops are built, truck drivers are calling for governments to fund truck stop maintenance initiatives to return existing rest stops back to their pre-pandemic conditions. But according to Victorian transport infrastructure minister Jacinta Allan, politicians aren’t in charge of cleaning truck stops.

“The responsibility for cleaning truck stops or re-opening facilities after the pandemic rests with the individual operator,” Allan told ATN. “Under the current pandemic orders, workplaces in Victoria are still required to have CovidSafe plans, and these plans should address cleaning.” Instead of introducing truck stop cleaning initiatives, the Victorian government says all operators should be following the Department of Health’s recently updated advice on cleaning requirements. Allan doesn’t say how the government is enforcing these cleaning regulations, but only refers to the advice given by the Department of Health. “These guidelines indicate cleaning standards for routine cleaning are as per industry-specific legislation, standards and locally developed cleaning schedules,” the department says in a statement on its website. Not all politicians are taking the same approach. The Victorian government’s response to the truck stop issue has fired up Western Australian senator Glenn Sterle, who has been working with independent roadhouses and service station companies since the Covid pandemic began to keep as many rest stops open as possible. He says governments are taking advantage of truck drivers in need of proper rest stops. “The Victorian government’s response really riles me,” Sterle told ATN. “It’s abhorrent that any government can think it doesn’t have a role to play in assisting freight moving around this nation. “Every politician loves to get a photo with a truck driver when it suits them, so it annoys me when they then think they can keep them out of sight when it comes to the truck stop issue.” Both the state and federal government’s lack of response has frustrated many truck drivers, who are continuing to take to Facebook to vent about the horrible conditions they find at rest stops. Sterle says he is

one of the only Australian politicians acknowledging the problem and working towards a solution. Over the past two years he has been informing the transport industry about various service stations he has worked with to help clean their truck stops and raise their standards. According to Sterle, poor truck stop conditions aren’t just a comfort problem – the poor maintenance of roadhouses is fast becoming a national road safety issue. “Roadhouses are integral to national supply chains and play a major role in road safety,” Sterle says. “Our truck drivers need these facilities open and clean. Some photos I have been receiving from truck drivers have been quite sickening; it’s hard to believe facilities could get so bad in 2022.” Sterle is adamant that truck drivers must get the opportunity to refresh themselves or else driver fatigue could become an even larger safety issue. In his current campaign working with service stations to ensure truck stops are cleaned, Sterle commends most fuel companies for being willing to work quickly to raise their standards. But Sterle is doing more than just liaising with companies to clean dirty truck stops. Along with Labor MP for Ballarat Catherine King and Labor

MP for Swan, Zaneta Mascarenhas, Sterle announced a Labor preelection promise to invest $80 million in new and improved rest areas for truck drivers across Australia. He says it has the potential to revolutionise the transport industry. “The announcement is huge,” Sterle says. “It’s the first time in my nearly 50 years in the industry that I’ve witnessed a potential government provide money for rest areas without hooks to it.” “The $80 million will be given to truck drivers who will be consulted with. They can decide where the new truck stops go and which stops get revamped.” Sterle hopes the $80 million package is able to be instated. If it is introduced, he says the initiative could help solve the worrying problem before it escalates further. “It’s currently a major issue,” he says. “Truck drivers are the bloodline to the remote parts and their links to cities. “We’ve got a long way to go, we’re having our successes. I hope we can get the funding handed down to have these facilities clean and accessible in no time.”

The ARRB is trying to make sustainable safer roads

ARRB tackles road safety NSW to review toll system The state opposition is leading the charge to amend the current toll system’s pricing scheme The New South Wales government is issuing a review to look at the current toll system’s pricing inconsistencies, fairness and congestion impacts. The review comes after politicians and industry members have criticised the huge toll costs that come with using some of NSW’s most popular roads. The review will investigate the pricing inconsistencies, cost-of-living impacts, fairness and equality for road users and congestion impacts. Issues surrounding NSW’s toll system came to light when many drivers reported experiencing e-toll account blunders where they were overcharged or incorrectly charged for unpaid trips. The NSW Treasury document on the review says the pricing structure was created on a case-by-case basis, resulting in inconsistencies and customer confusion such as the e-toll problems seen in recent months. NSW shadow minister for roads John Graham is one politician who has been vocal against the NSW toll system.

NSW toll roads are coming into the spotlight due to inconsistent pricing

“The government has finally realised what every driver knows – that the cost of tolls are going through the roof,” Graham says. “Sydney is the most tolled city in the world and is home to more than half of this country’s tollways. Households in Sydney’s west are burdened with the highest tolls with the costs continuing to increase.” According to Graham, 17 of the 20 top toll-paying suburbs are in Sydney’s west, with some people paying $6,000 a year in tolls. Graham says signs should be installed at specific toll roads to inform drivers of how much a trip will cost and how much time they can save by using the road. By doing this, he says people will be better informed. “Households in Sydney’s west are burdened with the highest tolls with the costs only continuing to increase,” he says. “Currently it’s simply too high for most people to afford.”

Recycled materials are being researched with regards to improving road safety In another example of the Australian Road Research Board (ARRB) using recycled materials in transport projects, it’ll use these resources to increase road safety. In a project the ARRB is currently working on, it says it will research the use of recycled glass in high friction surface treatment to increase the safety of roads in crash blackspots and risky locations. Sustainability Victoria and OmniGrip Direct are funding the project as it investigates the use of an aggregate blend incorporation recycled glass. This material will be used to see if it can reduce the volume of imported treated natural aggregate and add value to recycled glass fines to make the use of high friction surface treatment more sustainable and affordable for road agencies and councils. The scope of the project includes researching and identifying existing standards and specifications, consulting stakeholders and end-users and conducting laboratory tests and field tests. The ARRB will also conduct environmental and lifecycle assessments, as well as preparing a report summarising the results and listing optimum blends to meet the specifications requirements. The ARRB is contributing $15,000 in funds to the projects as well as using iSSAVe for field measurements during the project. The project will be led by ARRB senior technology leader in sustainability and material performance Dr Javad Yaghoubi and is expected to be completed by September 2022.

Diagnostics: Open Road Further regulation of gig workers will come into play, threatening to impact owner drivers

Spot the difference Gig economy shift carries a message for owner drivers Now that the dust has settled on a long and drawn-out federal election campaign, we can settle back into some degree of normality and get on with the job of earning a crust. Right? Not so fast. Tough economic conditions, stubbornly high fuel costs and determined efforts on many fronts to increase regulation of the socalled gig economy make it an important time to defend the status of owner drivers. Not long before polling day, the Australian Industry Group published a fascinating paper called ‘Busting the Myths of the Gig Economy’. It is an important document for two reasons. Firstly, it reinforces that gig economy workers are only a small percentage of the workforce. Secondly, it calls for some form of regulation at the federal level. On the first point, AIG pointed out that the proportion of the workforce who are platform workers is very small. In 2016, and based on a selection of digital platform information, bank transaction data and other research reports, the Grattan Institute assessed that fewer than 0.5 per cent of the workforce earned income from digital platform work. AIG says this figure remains a reliable estimate and it is supported by Australian Bureau of Statistics classification data and the

Warren Clark, CEO of the National Road Transport Association

authoritative HILDA (Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia) Report. The 2018 HILDA report’s authors said that “if the gig economy is growing as rapidly as is commonly believed, then either it involves the substitution of one type of selfemployed worker for another [as might be happening in the taxi industry] or it is largely consigned to second jobs”. In short, despite its visibility, the gig economy is not exploding and most platform workers do this type of work as secondary employment. Many work for multiple platforms and are logged on to different ones at the same time. All this this is important, given moves by states and territories to have different models in play for regulation of gig workers. The Victorian government has released a Consultation Paper on minimum standards for ondemand workers. A non-government Parliamentary Committee in New

South Wales wants the Industrial Relations Commission, or another tribunal, to set minimum pay and conditions for gig workers. Queensland wants its own regulations for ‘independent courier drivers’ based on the NSW Industrial Relations Act, and needs a federal government exemption under the Federal Independent Contractors Act to proceed legitimately. If the pandemic has taught us one thing it’s the overwhelming need for consistent regulation across the board in matters that impact essential services like road transport. Regulating independent contractors in the gig economy is a global trend. AIG even wants the federal government to step in and take action. We’ve all seen the worst of delivery riders on the roads and have experienced more than the odd near-miss. The gig platform providers have put a focus on raising driver and/ or rider standards with the large ones signing up to a set of safety principles. That’s a positive step but further change is surely in the wind. We in the road transport industry need to take note. We need to lobby hard so that owner drivers are not caught in the same wave. In February, the High Court found that two truck drivers engaged for decades by a company were independent contractors and not employees. That decision has given our sector a degree of comfort and has almost certainly had a positive impact on investment and jobs. Going down the path of overregulation would surely be a retrograde step, so NatRoad will be watching this space carefully.

News Another $41 million in funding was promised by the Morrison government ahead of the election

Port of Newcastle fuel tank and hydrogen hub works A new diesel storage tank and hydrogen hub headlines the Port of Newcastle’s latest works There’s plenty going on at the Port of Newcastle at the moment, with the port announcing the beginning of a hydrogen hub construction phase and works on a fuel storage tank. The green hydrogen hub received a further vote of confidence after the then-federal industry and energy minister Angus Taylor announced a further $41 million funding boost to the project ahead of the recent election. The project, which is a joint venture with Macquarie Capital and its Green Investment Group, is currently progressing an Australian Renewable Energy Agency-funded feasibility study. A range of project partners have helped develop various uses for green hydrogen in the Hunter, including mobility, bunkering and energy production. The funding announcement positions the Port of Newcastle as a leading site to establish a hydrogen hub that allows access to renewable energy. “The significance of the funding can’t be understated,” Port of Newcastle CEO Craig Carmody says.

“By 2025 we hope to have phase one of the hydrogen hub complete, which will benefit a range of local industries and position the Hunter Region as a key player in the emerging hydrogen opportunity.” While this happens, work will also commence at the port on a strategic fuel storage tank at Kooragang that will be one of the country’s first

strategic diesel storage facilities. Park Fuels is leading the charge to secure Australia’s long-term fuel supplies at the port, as Taylor recently turned the first sod on the 30 megalitre storage tank at the company’s Walsh Point terminal. “The new tank will be built within the grounds of our terminal at the Port of Newcastle and will increase our diesel storage capability at Kooragang from 54 megalitres to approximately 84 megalitres,” Parks Fuels CEO Brett Fletcher says. The new 30 million litre tank has been jointly funded by Park Fuels and the federal government as part of its $260 million Boosting Australia’s Diesel Storage program that aims to build around 780 megalitres of diesel storage across Australia. CEO Craig Carmody says: “As operators of one of the Port’s three bulk liquid import terminals, we congratulate Park Fuels on reaching this milestone.” Construction on the tank is expected to be completed mid next year with the new strategic storage tank operational by late 2023. Work has begun on the hydrogen hub

NSW announces Advisory Council members Melbourne freight facility works underway Works will begin soon in Altona to connect terminals to the Port of Melbourne In a major boost for Victoria’s freight and logistics industry, the state government is commencing works on a freight rail facility to help move more freight by rail from Melbourne’s west. The SCT Logistics interstate freight facility will be based in Altona and will provide easier access to the Port of Melbourne, with work now underway. Once complete it will form a major part of the state’s port rail shuttle network and will allow for a direct rail connecting to the Port of Melbourne, resulting in slashed transport costs for businesses. In a plan to take trucks off Melbourne’s roads, the project is also expected to provide 40 new jobs and strengthen the workforce of many Victorians. It will also help increase efficiency at Australia’s largest port, which already handles around 36 per cent of the nation’s container trade according to the Victorian government. SCT Logistics will invest $16 million into the facility to expand container hard-stand area and rail-siding extensions alongside a joint government $9.2 million investment. Altona is one of three key projects being delivered to create the Port Rail Shuttle Network, with works linking the Salta Properties terminal in Dandenong South to

Freight terminals are being upgraded in Melbourne to benefit the port

the Port of Melbourne already underway. Further works at the Austrak terminal at Somerton will commence later this year, with the result reducing the need for trucks to visit the port. Trucks will instead be able to deliver to these terminals, reducing fuel use and emissions while cutting freight transport costs by up to 10 per cent according to the state government. “An expanded rail freight terminal in Altona will provide an alternative to truck transport for the logistics community and reduce truck traffic at the port along the Princes Freeway and other key arterial and suburban roads,” minister for ports and freight Melissa Horne says. SCT Logistics managing director Geoff Smith says: “We are proud to be working in partnership and investing more than $16 million at Altona to improve our inland port capability with a direct rail connection to the Port of Melbourne to receive and dispatch port shuttle trains.”

The state has released the 15 names that will form the inaugural freight council The New South Wales government has announced the 15 members appointed to the new NSW freight transport advisory council (FTAC) that will be chaired by Duncan Gay. The new appointees are: • Chair – The Hon. Duncan Gay • Port of Newcastle – Craig Carmody • National Road Transport Association (NatRoad) – Warren Clark • Ron Crouch Transport – Geoffrey Crouch • Woolworth Group – Rick Dani • Qube – Paul Digney • Ports Australia – Michael Gallacher • Freight on Rail Group – Andrew Harding • Namoi Cotton – Allan Neil Johns • DHL – Leslie Logue • Livestock Bulk and Rural Carriers Association (LBRCA) – Paul Pulver • Monidale VGL – Scott Walker • Australasian Railway Association – Caroline Wilkie • Australian Logistics Council – Brad Williams • Road Freight NSW – Austin Vella NSW regional transport and roads minister Sam Farraway congratulates the inaugural members. “Appointing Duncan Gay as chair to the new body will give the group a wealth of experience when interacting with government and understanding policy,” Farraway says. The appointees come from a wide range of the industry, including road and rail bodies, intermodal operators, port representatives, couriers, retailers and producers. “The new body will not only discuss freight and supply chain issues, but provide input into government strategies, policies and projects,” Farraway says. The new council will replace the freight and logistics advisory council and the road freight industry council to represent the entire freight chain across different transport modes as a single council. The new council will meet four times a year starting in June, with new appointees remaining on the council for a term of two years.

FTA deems container fees unreasonable The FTA is leading a move to change container detention fees at Australian ports The Freight and Trade Alliance (FTA), along with the Australian Peak Shippers Association (APSA), is announcing that members have cited examples of the “unreasonable administration of container detention fees” at Australian ports. The FTA says member evidence is being used as part of a supplementary submission to the productivity commission that is aiming to end container detention fees. “Our industry is paying more than one billion dollars per annum for fees in addition to record high freight rates and surcharges,” the FTA says. The FTA’s joint statement with APSA says the fees being brought up by members are terminal access charges and container detention fees. “What is clearly a windfall for foreignowned shipping lines, contributing to their multi-billion-dollar annual profits, is adding to the current cost of living and inflationary pressures being felt across Australia,” the FTA and APSA say. “Charges are being passed down the supply chain, which adversely affects manufacturers, farmers, rural communities and consumers.” Since the FTA and APSA provided a submission on February 11, they say the operational environment is worsening. According to the groups, operating hours have been limited by “vessel bunching”, causing facilities to receive empty containers, resulting in extreme supply chain labour shortages and detention clocks starting at a time when cargo is physically unavailable for collection from the wharf. The FTA and APSA say that they are engaging with the Department of Agriculture, Water and Environment to improve efficiency, but members continue to report excessive delays in booking requests at freight terminals and ports. “This is hitting hard – everyone from major retailers through to small businesses,” the two bodies say. “Freight forwarders, customs brokers and transport companies are left with the unenviable task of explaining this unbudgeted and unreasonable fee to importers and exporters, costing anywhere from hundreds of dollars per consignment up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in some circumstances.”

WA to expand Port Geraldton The WA government is investing in upgrading the port so it can increase its export capabilities The Western Australian government is announcing it will invest in expanding the Port of Geraldton to increase the port authority’s capacity to store and provide valuable materials for the state. The planned growth will increase the port to 25 million tonnes per year from the current 15 million tonnes per year, allowing the port to export iron ore, grains and battery minerals as well as allowing for ammonia exports. The WA government will invest $332 million into expanding the Geraldton port by 2026, with works including the debottlenecking of existing grain and iron ore export facilities. The funding boost will also help Port Geraldton to build new storage and product handling facilities that can cater for the growing hydrogen and ammonia industries in WA. Currently the port says it is operating on the border of its maximum capacity and can’t increase grains shipments after a bumper harvest as it already can’t cater for iron ore expansions plans

The Port of Geraldton will be expanded to increase capacity

of the Karara iron ore project. WA’s state grain logistics firm CBH says that at all four major terminals in WA there are reportedly no spare grain export capacities before October, which is when the new harvest begins in northern WA. There is reportedly congestion at Geraldton, Kwinana, Albany and Esperance, with this backlog coming despite CBH increasing its shipping capacity by 540,000 tonnes in March following the start of the Russia/ Ukraine conflict. The upgrades will be a major priority according to the port, as the first stage to reach 15.4 million tonnes per year of concentrate demands a significant upgrade to Geraldton. Existing iron ore and grains export businesses will also have to compete for space at the Port of Geraldton due to the plans to build major hydrogen and ammonia production industries in the area.

The new Dennis Eagle chassis has been unveiled at Waste 2022

Dennis Eagle Elite 6 chassis unveiled Penske recently gave the industry a glimpse of the new Elite 6 chassis

Scania partners with electric freight group Scania will produce more than 100 electric trucks for Swedish freight company Truck manufacturer Scania has signalled its intention to intensify its electrification process, partnering with a Swedish freight technology company to accelerate its transition to electric fleets. Scania will work with the Swedish group Einride to help roll out 110 Scania trucks starting in the second half of 2022 that will help Einride optimise its electric freight fleet. Einride is a freight technology company that provides digital, electric and autonomous shipping solutions, while also possessing a large heavy duty electric fleet. The 110 truck order marks the largest order of heavy-duty electric trucks to date for Scania and signals the start of a collaborative product development partnership with Einride. The full fleet of trucks will be built to Einride’s hardware specifications and powered by its operating system in Saga to ensure that electric shipping is efficient. The Saga platform ensures that fleet data insights are accurate and will be provided to Scania. “These 110 trucks will make

Scania has received a landmark electric truck order

a substantial contribution to increasing our fleet,” Einride chief product officer Ellen Kugelberg says. “We will continue to join forces with industry players like Scania to drive innovation and product development in the global transport industry.” Einride’s order is the largest deal to date of electric heavy-duty vehicles in Europe for Scania, as it also signals the start of a new long-term partnership that will intensify the move to electric road freight. Scania’s head of e-mobility Fredrik Allard says: “We share the same vision of decarbonising heavy transport.” “It has been rewarding to work with Einride on joint new technical solutions and digital services that will sustainably advance our industry.” The fleet of Scania trucks will be implemented in Europe during 2022 and the start of 2023.

Dennis Eagle unveiled its Elite 6 chassis at the Waste 2022 conference in Coffs Harbour recently. The chassis was shown in both righthand steer and dual control variants to provide the industry with a glance of what the Elite 6 will look like once it hits the Australian market. The chassis has been specifically designed for the refuse industry as the lowentry cab combines with a window and mirror visibility package that Dennis Eagle says yields an unmatched overall solution. “Dennis Eagle has an exceptional offering that every refuse collection operator should consider,” Penske head of fleet Shannon Mair says. “As recognised by Transport for London, Dennis Eagle is the only truck manufacturer to be awarded a five-star direct vision standard rating. “By virtue of design, the low-entry cab allows drivers to enter and exit the vehicle with a single step from the curb, easily transition inside the cabin while standing up and change from a right-hand to lefthand driving position without exiting where dual controls are available.” Dennis Eagle also says that the added ease of getting in and out of the vehicle will help increase efficiency for drivers. Penske is proud that its Dennis Eagle chassis is also environmentally friendly and cuts down on harmful emissions. The new modern look of the Elite 6 chassis also boats upgraded headlights, emergency braking and electronic stability control as standard. “When you add these advanced driver assistance systems to what is fundamentally a very safe truck with bestin-class visibility, this results in a truck that is clearly above the rest,” Mair says. “This new product is backed by outstanding support from our Penskeowned and independent dealer network.”

The iMove report says Australia is behind in its transport sector globally

Transport falling behind globally An Australian report criticises the country’s smart mobility transport movements A final report handed down by iMove Australia says the nation’s transport sector is falling behind international trends when it comes to transport digitisation. The report is part of iMove’s Digitisation in Transport and Freight: Lessons for Australia project, which is run with the Department of Infrastructure and Transport, as well as Swinburne University. The project aimed to review Australia’s transport and freight sector relating to network performance, efficiency and productivity. In the report, rankings found that Australia has “clearly fallen behind international trends in transport digitisation”, according to iMove. To improve Australia’s transport and freight sector, the report made recommendations for future operations. This included developing a national vision for smart mobility, setting new policies for smart mobility and aligning digital transport initiatives with national development strategies. The iMove report also suggested supporting transactional research, investing in backbone digitisation infrastructure and investing in learning and capacity building across all sectors. Furthermore, other recommendations included undertaking feasibility studies of state-wide integrated smart mobility operations centres and developing agreed standards to improve data benefits. The iMove report says more research is needed to identify data gaps in the sector, as well as developing smart mobility research agendas to enhance Australia’s transport and freight industry going forward.

Australian logistics company to open Chicago branch The business is set to open a second US branch to expand its operations Australian transport and logistics company Wiseman is aiming to establish a new cargo hub in Chicago as part of its latest stage of diversifying, integrating and expanding its business. In this newest part of its strategy, Wiseman will aim to increase its global network to include 11 cities across five countries. Following the successful opening of its Los Angeles hub in 2021, marking its first hub in North America, Wiseman is looking to create this new branch and capitalise on its momentum. The company was also awarded an Indirect Air Carrier (IAC) certificate by the US Department of Homeland Security, Transportation Security Administration, enabling the company to deal with airlines directly and on preferential terms. The establishment of the new branch is expected to be achieved under a $300,000 budget that will be funded while business-as-usual operating cash flows occur. Wiseway says its steady revenues coming in from the US west coast can be replicated to boost growth across the region. “The creation of this new branch will supercharge our expansion across the US, deliver supply chain efficiencies and provide further

revenue synergies for our global network,” Wiseway executive chair Florence Tung says. “This hub is expected to deliver sound revenues within its first year of operations and is easily expandable as business volumes increase.” The board has decided to back Wiseway’s strategy, meaning the company will seek to sign contracts to obtain use of customs bonded and quarantine compliant secure warehousing facilities near Chicago’s primary airport. While doing this, it’ll also aim to obtain all necessary licensing and regulatory permits while beginning a process of recruitment for several full-time employees. “This is the latest step in Wiseway’s journey from a simple air-exporter to an agile, dynamic and dependable logistics solutions provider which delivers synergies and cost-savings through our global network of interconnected business divisions,” Tong says. “The creation of a cargo hub in Chicago will harness Wiseway’s already established relationships with US airlines and is expected to provide the foundations for further expansion across North America and the Asia Pacific – from where we expect the majority of growth in the global freight industry will come.”

Diagnostics: Regulatory Round Phase Two is the introduction of the concept of ‘bridge families’

Asset management Building a stronger road network through asset assessment The NHVR’s priority is to ensure a safe, efficient and productive heavy vehicle industry serving the needs of Australia. Under the Heavy Vehicle National Law, it’s our role to manage the access of all heavy vehicles on the road network, while local government road managers must consent to heavy vehicle access on their local network, based on vehicle, travel and road conditions. With more than 24,000 local government-owned bridges across Australia, understanding every single structure’s condition and access capability is time consuming and costly. In 2019, we received $7.96 million in grant funding from the federal government to establish the Strategic Local Government Asset Assessment Project (SLGAAP). The SLGAAP delivers funded engineering assessments of bridges and culverts to road managers, giving them a more comprehensive understanding of their road asset to better inform decisions relating to their heavy vehicle network. In Phase One of the project, close to 400 assets were assessed across 74 councils. In many cases, local councils started the assessment process unsure about approving access for heavy vehicle types to travel across their asset. However, by the end, they confidently granted pre-approval for select classes of heavy vehicles. This has resulted in a number of great outcomes for operators and councils, with access opening up over previously-underrated assets, enabling drivers to use shorter, safer routes. Road managers and operators were also able to save time, while maintaining safety and infrastructure outcomes.

Sal Petroccitto, CEO of the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator

Based on the success of Phase One, SLGAAP received a further $12.1 million from the federal government in 2021 to continue the project for three years. We expect over 1,000 assets to be completed over the course of the project. Nominations for Phase Two are now open and we are encouraging local councils to apply for their assets to receive funded engineering assessments. Nominations can be submitted through the NHVR Portal. During this phase, we will prioritise assets located on key freight routes that deliver whole of network journey outcomes. Another component to Phase Two is the introduction of the concept of ‘bridge families’ to support safe and efficient heavy vehicle movement. A ‘bridge family’ approach is where similar assets are grouped by age, construction material and type. The capability of one asset can be applied to each asset in the same group to analyse access across each asset within the group. Using bridge families will enable road managers to use their network in a cost-effective way. Another functionality we’re close to delivering is an Asset Rapid Assessment Tool (ARAT) that will enable road managers to enter in specific details of a vehicle requesting access and compare it to a reference vehicle. This will generate bridge assessment results in minutes. We have collaborated with a

small cohort of councils to test and provide feedback on the ARAT functionality, and I am excited to launch the tool soon. Through our National Spatial Program, all road managers will be able to better plan, manage and publish their heavy vehicle networks and supporting road asset data in the NHVR Portal. The platform will provide access to a comprehensive national database of road and bridge asset conditions. As you can see, we are on the cusp of unlocking more capabilities to deliver further tangible, efficient benefits for road managers and industry. For more information on SLGAAP visit nhvr.gov.au Project outcomes • Completed 394 bridge assessments and related engineering reports • Assessed 112 vehicle configurations across selected assets • Worked with 74 councils to better understand their asset capacity • Developed a prototype Asset Rapid Assessment Tool • Development of resources for road managers, including Asset Assessment Framework in the Road Manager Toolkit • Updated data for 1,134 assets in the NHVR Portal Digital Asset Management (ongoing)

News The Wage Inspectorate is responsible for monitoring and enforcing compliance with Victoria’s owner driver laws and conducts regular compliance checks

VIC campaign to boost awareness of owner driver laws The Wage Inspectorate also alerts drivers about their information booklet, schedule of rates and a written contract Wage Inspectorate Victoria has launched a new campaign to remind the state’s transport industry of its obligations under Victoria’s owner driver and forestry contractor laws. The campaign reminds hirers and freight brokers of their obligation to provide the information booklet about owner driver laws, the schedule of rates and a written contract to any owner drivers or forestry contractors they engage. Recent compliance checks have found many hirers failing to comply

with these three obligations, which exist under the Owner Drivers and Forestry Contractors Act 2005. These requirements apply to engagements of 30 days or more in any three-month period, and hirers and freight brokers must keep records to prove they are meeting them. The campaign also alerts drivers that they should be receiving these items at least three business days before work starts. The Wage Inspectorate is

responsible for monitoring and enforcing compliance with Victoria’s owner driver laws and conducts regular compliance checks. Failing to comply with some requirements is a crime and can attract penalties of more than $4,500 for companies and over $900 for individuals. Research shows over 50 per cent of those covered by Victoria’s owner driver laws speak a language other than English at home. Campaign information has been translated into eight different languages to help reach Victoria’s multicultural communities. Hirers, freight brokers and owner drivers seeking further information should visit wageinspectorate.vic. gov.au or call the Wage Inspectorate’s Helpline on 1800 287 287.

New NSW freight bypass opens The governor officially opened the new freight bypass in Warialda The New South Wales governor Margaret Beazley helped open a new $8.1 million heavy vehicle freight bypass in Warialda in May. The new four-kilometre stretch of road has been opened to increase safety and productivity for freight operators driving through Warialda. Beazley was joined by federal member for Parkes Mark Coulton, Northern Tablelands state member Adam Marshall and Gwydir Shire Council mayor John Coulton at the opening. The group say it is an exciting time for Warialda to celebrate the new freight bypass. “Warialda is a key part of the regional freight network and this route provides access to the livestock exchange at Inverell as well as abattoirs and other markets,” Mark Coulton says. “After years in the making, it’s wonderful to see this bypass operational and facilitating safer and more productive journeys for our truck drivers.”

NSW governor Margaret Beazley (centre) opened the new bypass recently

Coulton says the upgrades allow local producers to use larger vehicles like road trains and B-triples on the roads. This change will allow operators to cut transport costs and increase the overall productivity and safety of the industry. Marshall says it was terrific to witness trucks finally travelling along the bypass following five years of partnerships and construction. “This is an important day for Warialda, as a dangerous

heavy-vehicle pinch point in the heart of town is rubbed off the map,” Marshall says. “The existing freight pinch-point was a nightmare for B-doubles to negotiate without crossing the centreline and oncoming traffic, while road trains couldn’t get around it at all. “By bypassing the intersection of Stephen Street and Gwydir Highway, a safer and more direct route has been made for high productivity freight vehicles.”

News MB says the changes to MirrorCam will improve the system’s effectiveness

MB evolving details of its mirror cam system The truck manufacturer has changed details of its system that was first introduced in 2018 Mercedes-Benz Trucks has announced it is already launching the second generation of its MirrorCam, with new improvements being added to the system. “The intensive discussions with our customers and their experiences from day-to-day operations formed the foundations for us to make further adjustments to individual technical parameters, thereby generating even greater added value in terms of display and safety,” Mercedes-Benz Trucks head of product development Uwe Baake says. The camera arms will now be 10 centimetres shorter on each side, so drivers can reverse in a straight line more easily, while new image parameters will provide for better support for drivers in many road traffic situations. An enhanced housing design will further reduce the camera lens debris, while the MirrorCam’s perspective is now more akin to that of conventional glass mirrors. A drip edge has been incorporated at the bottom of MirrorCam to prevent rainwater from running onto the lens and tone mapping has been optimised. Tone mapping is a process in which

an image is adapted so that a large range of tones are displayed correctly on a medium – reflected primarily as an improved contrast display. The camera system’s evolution in colour and brightness adaptation means that the displays show the area relevant to the driving situation even more accurately when

reversing into a dark or poorly lit facility, says Mercedes-Benz. Existing advantages are still available, such as wide-angle mode when manoeuvring backwards, distance lines on the display for better assessing the distance from objects behind the vehicle being driven, camera image panning when cornering or monitoring of the vehicle’s surroundings during rest periods. In the MirrorCam system two cameras are attached to both sides of the roof frame and two portraitformat monitors installed in the A-pillars of the cab. The decision to introduce two 15-inch monitors on the driver’s and front passenger’s sides was done to better judge the speed of passing objects around the truck. Advancements have been made in colour and brightness of the camera feed

Volvo will open its first battery plant in Belgium

Volvo continues electric battery expansion The truck company has reached a landmark milestone in its electric vehicle technology Volvo Trucks is continuing to push its electric battery and renewable technology models into Europe, now operating its very first battery assembly plant in Ghent, Belgium. The plant will supply ready-to-install batteries for Volvo Trucks’ full electric heavy- duty trucks. In the new plant, cells and modules from Samsung SDI will be assembled into battery packs tailor made for Volvo Trucks’ heavy duty electric range that includes the Volvo FH, FM and FMX. The series production of these models begins in the second half of 2022. “This investment shows our strong commitment to electrifying truck transportation,” Volvo Trucks president Roger Alm says. “By 2030 at least 50 per cent of all trucks we sell globally will be electric and by 2040 we will be a carbon-neutral company.” The new plant will produce battery packs, as each pack has a capacity of 90 kWh, as customers can choose to have up to six battery packs in a truck. The number of batteries in a truck depends on each customer’s specific range and load capacity demands. “By integrating the battery assembly process in our production flow, we can shorten lead times for our customers and secure high-performing batteries, while at the same time increasing circularity,” Alm says. The Volvo batteries have been designed so they can later be remanufactured and reused, as the plant itself in Belgium will be powered by 100 per cent renewable energy. The Belgium plant means Volvo can offer a total of six electric truck models globally with battery packs.

Trucking company gets the nod as robotics service provider A major truck provider will get the chance to provide models for autonomous truck trials Torc Robotics has announced a major manufacturer as the test fleet truck maintenance service provider for its autonomous test fleet.

Allison is partnering with Xos to produce electric trucks

Allison Transmission enters into electric partnership Allison is looking to provide transmissions for electric vehicles Transmission manufacturer Allison Transmission is strategically partnering with US battery-electric vehicle provider Xos to develop heavy-duty electric vehicle platforms. Xos is a manufacturer and services provider of class five through to class eight battery-electric vehicles, powertrains, charging infrastructure and fleet management software. The pair will jointly develop heavyduty class seven and eight commercial electric vehicles. In the partnership, Allison will deliver the initial eGen Power e-Axle hardware for integration, validation and testing in the heavy-duty vehicle platforms, while Xos is designing and building the body to deliver additional power in the Xos vehicles throughout 2022. “We’re honoured to partner with Aliison, a company that has a long history of innovation in the industry, on our common vision to improve the way the world works through advancing commercial vehicle technology,” Xos chief operating officer Giordano Sordoni says. “We believe that Allison’s differentiated e-Axle portfolio, combined with its connectivity to fleet customers, established service channel and reputation for delivering reliability, will allow Xos to accelerate our growth while enhancing the value we deliver to our customers.” Allison expressed similar sentiments, saying it has been inspired by Xos’ work in the electric vehicle sector.

Stramit orders new Freightliner Cascadia The steel product supplier and its freight partner went for a new Cascadia for its safety features Steel construction product supplier Stramit and its freight partner Glen Cameron Group have purchased a new Freightliner Cascadia 116. The latest vehicle becomes the fifth Cascadia to join Glen Cameron Group’s fleet, with safety and efficiency at the crux of the decision to go with a Cascadia. The new vehicle will run a range of Stramit steel products for its Fair Dinkum Builds and Taurean Door Systems brands between Melbourne and Sydney. The Cascadia comes with a full suite of safety equipment including advanced emergency braking systems, lane departure warning systems and electronic stability control. Stramit also opted to go with a sideguard assist system, which uses a radar to see down the passenger side and alert the driver of moving people or objects in the blind spot. “Safety is paramount to Stramit and it is critical to us that we select the safest trucks available, such as the Cascadia, and have them maintained to the high standards of the Glen Cameron Group fleet,” Stramit sales and operations planning manager Malcolm Thomas says. “These trucks share the road with other motorists and we need to do everything we can to protect our own people and those around them

with these advanced safety systems.” Thomas says the safety options made available on the Cascadia were pivotal to Stramit’s decision to purchase a new version of the model. “For a driver to really be safe they have to be comfortable, so we are pleased that Glen Cameron Group is investing in advanced and comfortable trucks such as the Cascadia,” Thomas says. With its 13-litre Detroit engine and lower emissions, Stramit says that the Cascadia meets its protocols that mirror parent company Fletcher Building. Glen Cameron Group national fleet manager Greg Morris says he chose the 116 Cascadia model with an integrated DT12 fully automated transmission and bulbar with built-in LED lights. “Fuel efficiency, driver comfort and the latest technology, including all of the safety features we have become accustomed to in our Mercedes-Benz Actros models over the years, were all part of the reasons we choose Cascadia,” Morris says. “The safety features in these trucks have progressed so much over the past five years.”

Hino Australia looking abroad to fix skills shortage The vehicle brand will continue recruiting from overseas to get more skilled technicians Hino Australia says it’s introducing 15 experienced technicians from the Philippines while starting another round of international recruitment to address a national shortage of skilled heavy vehicle mechanics. Hino launched its first international recruitment drive late in 2019, resulting in 20 technicians being employed, only for Covid-related border closures to delay the process. But Hino Australia now says it is back on track to continue recruiting international workers will plenty of skill to the country’s operations. “We currently have 15 of the 20 technicians working in dealerships around the country with the remainder due to arrive in the coming months,” Hino Australia GM for service and customer support Gus Belanszky says. “The enthusiasm, knowledge and skills of the technicians so far has been impressive and they will all undergo extensive training at Hino Australia’s headquarters to provide them with all the expertise necessary to meet our standards.” Hino Australia says dealerships like

ack Anthem and Fuso Shogun. They are perhaps as different as two trucks can possibly be and, fittingly, they are largely designed for significantly different roles.

Yet, in recent times, and just weeks apart, we took the opportunity to drive each in B-double configuration. Obviously enough, Anthem’s flagship model with its long-awaited stand-up cab and well-appointed 36-inch sleeper is primarily a linehaul runner, with a reinvigorated 535hp (398kW) MP8 engine showing plenty of punch and respectable fuel economy on a tough run from Brisbane down a wet and windswept New England Highway.

On the other hand, Fuso’s flagship is a Shogun sporting an all-Daimler powertrain headed by a 510hp (380kW) engine, which gives the brand a significant performance edge over its Japanese competitors, particularly in shorthaul and regional B-double roles where the Japanese brands traditionally struggle to challenge the hold of the Europeans. Yes, Anthem and Shogun are as different as they come but each is a vital part of global powerhouses, Volvo and Daimler respectively, and in their own fashion, showcase the extent of truck developments and applications unique to the Australian market.

far more than just a

radical

new hood

hen a brand with such an iconic identity as Mack comes up with a hood design as brazenly, even fearlessly distinctive as Anthem, it’s as certain as a dog licking its chops – or any other part of its anatomy for that matter – that opinions will vary wildly, from politely positive to downright demeaning.

Like it or loathe it, the Anthem is far more than just a radical new hood and, critically, vastly more than just a replacement for the superseded Granite model. It is, in fact, a vital and certainly overdue platform for a Mack resurgence centred on the ability to provide a stand-up cab; not just

for Anthem but also its more established Trident and Super-Liner siblings. And make no mistake, Mack needed a stand-up cab to put it in the ballpark where its conventional competitors have long had an edge. Anthem is, however, also a vital conduit for a Mack future that is likely to have little in common with its past pedigree other than the classic dog on the snout. Controlling Anthem’s core functions, for instance, is significantly enhanced electrical architecture known within the kennel club as the ‘Tier II bridge’. It is, in effect, an electrical system adapted from Volvo Group’s network to ‘bridge’ the

technological gap between Mack and its cab-over kin, thus providing Anthem and its siblings – except for the Cummins-powered Metro-Liner – with the advanced operational and efficiency functions already existing in Volvo models. Like, functions designed to utilise crawler gears in Mack’s mDrive automated transmission, to streamline MP8 13-litre engine efficiencies with more refined fuel delivery and injection processes, and provide for the implementation of modernday innovations such as predictive cruise control and eco-roll. All up, simply a smarter electrical package that also allows Mack to make the most of

critical hardware updates on the MP8 Euro 5 engine, designed to improve performance and efficiency through the use of a new turbocharger and redesigned injectors, cylinder liners and pistons. Updates that were introduced in Volvo’s equivalent D13 engine more than a year ago. Have no doubt, though, all these notable and worthwhile enhancements are just a stepping stone to a wide-ranging development program being undertaken to ultimately take Mack to an entirely new level. Or at least, that’s the message coming through loud and clear from Volvo Group Australia (VGA) and its senior Mack operatives.

Road work. Overall handling and road manners of the Anthem demonstrator set a new standard for Mack. Performance of the improved MP8 engine was formidable

New DEALS

As VGA chief Martin Merrick confidently expressed in our exclusive interview earlier this year: “We’re investing over a hundred million dollars over the next three years in the Mack product,” eagerly adding: “I met with Martin Weissburg [Mack Trucks president] … and the commitment to Mack in Australia is unwavering. “Mack Trucks Australia is absolutely a key market,” Merrick emphasised, insisting that a new day is dawning for Mack. Just when that day will dawn Down Under remains to be seen but it’s perhaps reasonable to assume that if $100 million is to be spent on Mack development “over the next three years”, 2025 is a fair guesstimate when an entirely new bulldog might hit the Australian market. Time will tell! While questions about new product plans were politely and predictably deflected during the interview, Merrick nonetheless offered a surprising concession on the creation of what will be almost certainly an entirely new generation of Mack trucks: “I can’t share with you the timeline or exact details but it will not be a makeover. It will be a completely new product. A new platform,” he said with absolute assurance. On the assertion that any completely new Mack will be largely based on Volvo’s North American VN conventional range, Merrick paused for a moment before candidly commenting: “If you look at our products – Volvo, Mack and UD – we have common architecture and shared technology. That’s the way it is. “But the Mack brand will remain very strong in Australia, so there’s no plan to simply bring in a Volvo platform from the US and use that as a conventional truck here.” In other words, don’t expect any new Mack to be simply a right-hand drive version of a Volvo US conventional with a bulldog bolted on the beak, but certainly expect a powertrain and driveline utilising the deep technological resources of Volvo Group, tucked under a bold cab and hood designed to be unmistakeably Mack. At least, that’s the vibe coming through from the top of the executive tree. Between now and then, though, the task for Anthem and its home-grown Trident and Super-Liner brothers – operationally emboldened with smarter electronics and extensive software and hardware updates, improved efficiency and, of course, the

availability of a stand-up cab with a 36-inch (91cm) hi-rise sleeper – will be to keep the dog barking loud and proud, and in the process build a solid launch pad for the eventual emergence of an entirely new breed of bulldog. Meantime, while Anthem’s external appearance may be still an acquired taste for some, a B-double run from Brisbane to Sydney down the arduous New England Highway at least confirmed the old adage that a book should never be judged by its cover. Quite simply, Anthem’s handling and overall road manners were arguably the best this commentator has ever experienced in a Mack while, underneath, hardware and software changes to the MP8 engine have created a notably more determined and willing workhorse with the capacity to surprise and impress in equal parts. Changing plans The test truck was the same pre-production sleeper cab unit driven on its maiden run around 18 months earlier in a short, unofficial leg of the Pacific Highway with a single trailer in tow. Specified for a range of regional and linehaul roles, and undoubtedly the flagship of the Anthem entourage, the demonstrator carried a gross combination mass rating of 64 tonnes and on a 4,485mm wheelbase, sported fuel capacity of over 1,400 litres and 150 litres of AdBlue. And, like its Trident and Super-Liner siblings, Anthem comes with the full Bendix Wingman safety system as a standard item. Since then, the truck had accumulated almost 35,000km on various promotional and test drive events, the latest as a race transporter for the high-profile Patriot Campers company. Yet, while it’s unlikely the wrapping of the underlying red paintwork in the darkly austere ‘Patriot – Get Lost’ livery did much to enhance Anthem’s visual appeal, it wasn’t long after leaving Volvo’s Wacol precinct that the truck started to show qualities far more vital than the visual. Hooked to a B-double set and grossing close to 59 tonnes, the intention was to head over the demanding climb of the new Toowoomba Bypass to pick up the Newell Highway and head south to

Standing tall. The big asset for Anthem and its Super-Liner and Trident brothers is a stand-up cab and well-appointed 36-inch sleeper

113

DOW 480-108 ND Anthem.indd 113

25/5/2022 3:53 pm

The Anthem demonstrator’s first run was down the Pacific Highway, sporting the same cab and sleeper on a Super-Liner

Gilgandra, then hooking east to Newcastle along the fluctuating conditions of the Golden Highway. However, it became apparent soon after leaving Toowoomba’s outskirts that flooded Queensland roads and extensive delays required a change of plans to take the less travelled and considerably more challenging New England Highway. On the fierce grades and often poor road and weather conditions of the New England, the Anthem would need to be doing its best work. Still, the drag over the Toowoomba Range had already signalled a powertrain with plenty of punch. It had been two years or more since last driving either a Volvo or

Mack 13-litre engine at B-double weights but, even so, there was soon no doubt the recent software and hardware updates had made the 535hp (393kW) MP8 a distinctly more determined performer. On the steepest pinches of the Toowoomba climb, for example, with eighth gear locked in manual mode on the steepest grade, the engine displayed a tenacious trait to fight hard for every rev, at no stage dropping any lower than 1,200rpm. A quick look at the engine’s performance chart reveals why there’s such a strong propensity for dogged performance. Top torque of 2,600Nm (1,920lb-ft) is consistent from 1,050 to 1,450rpm while peak power

114

New DEALS

(393kW/535hp) is on stream from 1,450 to 1,900rpm, providing the MP8 with formidable pulling power and quick throttle response through a broad and efficient span of the rev range. Obviously enough, the MP8 feeds into Mack’s mDrive automated shifter but, nowadays, it’s more than simply the standard 12-speed transmission derived from Volvo’s super-smooth I-shift box. It took a while and needed the integration of the Tier II electrical platform to become a reality and finally catch up with its Volvo counterpart, but mDrive is now also available in 13-speed HD and 14-speed XHD form with one and two crawler gears,

respectively, and each version able to be specified with a direct-drive or overdrive (0.78:1) top gear. Wisely perhaps, the Anthem test truck was fitted with the direct-drive HD box that provides a deep reduction crawler cog of 19.38:1 and the availability of six reverse gear ratios including a wall-climbing bog cog of 37.49:1. For interest’s sake, bottom forward gear in the 14-speed XHD is a stump-pullin’ 32.04:1 and again, 37.49:1 in reverse. With the direct-drive box feeding into a relatively tall 3.09:1 rear axle ratio, the Anthem clocked 100km/h at a tick over 1,500rpm. While some might argue it’s a cruise speed a tad high to maximise fuel efficiency, it’s worth pointing out the revamped MP8 has a new-found fondness for digging deep into the rev range and fighting hard to hold higher gears rather than quickly dropping to a lower ratio. In fact, it was at times astonishing to see how the engine would hold onto the top two gears, regularly digging down to 1,100rpm to pull over a hill. Likewise, it was revealing to see how the powertrain performed on the formidably sharp and remarkably similar grades of Bolivia Hill and Ben Lomond in increasingly treacherous weather. The first was crested in manual mode in seventh gear, dropping down to 1,400rpm while, soon after on Ben Lomond, mDrive was kept in auto and dropped to seventh gear at 1,600rpm. In both cases, the MP8’s lively response and gritty determination simply reinforced the opinion that the software and hardware changes have created a dog with far more bite. An equally absorbing exercise was watching the variations in average fuel consumption throughout the run. According to Anthem’s on-board trip computer, the run from Wacol to the base of Toowoomba Range consumed fuel at the rate of 1.8km/ litre. After the long haul to the top of the range, the average fell to a reasonable 1.4km/ litre but recovered in surprisingly short time back to 1.8km/litre. After a few delays and detours, the figure had fallen to 1.6km/litre as the truck headed down the New England from Warwick, and despite difficult weather and the highway’s many hardships, stayed there until the flatter country of the Hunter Valley saw the trip average settle on 1.8km/litre (5.37mpg) by the end of the exercise near Newcastle.

25/5/2022 3:53 pm

Steering improvements All things considered, Anthem’s fuel economy on this run was at the very least admirable and, perhaps more accurately, impressive given the New England’s considerable demands. Perhaps even more admirable and undeniably appreciable were Anthem’s handling and road manners. To be blunt, I’ve rarely been a fan of Mack’s steering characteristics compared to its conventional competitors, particularly in linehaul applications where, to my mind, the dog has a tendency to wander a tad too much. Yet, whatever engineers did in the development of Anthem’s steering mechanism or geometry, it has resulted in a

notably more direct and positive handling performance than any of its kin, and perhaps nowhere more evident or valued than on a New England Highway pocked with potholes and ribbed with rough edges. The big advance, however, is the standup cab attached to a 36-inch hi-rise sleeper and a wild night in the mountains at a cold, wet and windswept Guyra provided the ideal opportunity to put Anthem’s sleeping arrangements to good use. Before venturing comfortably into the Land of Nod, though, the time was right to take stock of Anthem’s general features. For starters, ride comfort is extremely good with a premium Isri driver’s seat and ample seat and steering wheel adjustment for all shapes

116

entirely comfortable and

well-appointed sleeper

and sizes. And for those with a particularly broad girth, a flat-bottomed steering wheel provides even more belly room. Riding on an airbag rear suspension and parabolic springs up front, Anthem’s overall ride quality left nothing to be desired on the highway’s many lumps and bumps. Likewise, forward vision through a twopiece windscreen over a drooping snout is extremely good, as is rear vision through ideally sized and placed mirrors. It’s worth noting at this point that one of Anthem’s peculiar characteristics is a single latch behind the grille for opening the hood. However, if the cable connecting the latch to the locking points on the rear extremities of the hood isn’t equally tensioned to

release both sides at the same time, raising the dog’s snout can become a fiercely frustrating exercise. Moreover, and squeaking for much of the run down the New England, the driver’s side hood latch failed to lock completely. The test truck did, in fact, have a few minor squeaks and rattles but it’s worth remembering this was a pre-production unit that possibly had not undergone all the strict quality control processes that typify production trucks rolling out of VGA’s Wacol factory. Back inside, there’s no shortage of driver comfort and convenience features, and for the most part, the gauge layout and control and switchgear functions are practical

The Anthem’s fuel use was impressive

and neat. But much like Anthem’s unique exterior appearance, there’s no doubt some operators will like the interior cab layout and others won’t. There’s no escaping the fact that the cab shell has been around for a long time and, with Anthem, Mack has strived to bring some modernity to its newest model. One area, however, that could’ve done with more detailed attention is the pushbutton transmission control panel on the left of the dash fascia. Compared to the shift levers in its Volvo and UD counterparts and certainly a number of competitors with transmission control wands conveniently mounted on the steering column, mDrive’s shift panel is archaic. On the positives, though, there’s ample locker space in both the cab and sleeper for a linehaul driver’s many odds and sods but best of all is the ability to stand fully upright – up to 1.828 metres – and retreat

easily into an entirely comfortable and wellappointed sleeper. And on the other side of the coin when Nature calls in the wee hours, swing out of bed without bending like a broken broom. An entirely comfortable sleep and early start soon enough saw the Mack running off Black Mountain as another day of dismal weather set in, making good use of the 500hp (373kW) braking output of Mack’s multi-stage Powerleash retarder. Soon after, the notorious descent of the Moonbi Range was taken easily in sixth gear. From here on, the Mack simply continued to do its job with complete and efficient ease, leading to the plain conclusion that whatever the opinion of Anthem’s distinctive image, there is more to this truck than meets the eye. Much more, and it would be a big mistake to underestimate what churns underneath.

On its test run the Mack Anthem did its job with ease

Fuso is the only Japanese manufacturer duking it out in the heavy-duty segment, with its new 510hp Shogun its most powerful powertrain on offer. Proving to be efficient and responsive on the road, it’s ideal for local and shorthaul work but points are lost for an unwieldy cab design 121

o state the obvious, there are four Japanese brands contesting the Australian heavy-duty truck market but, in performance terms, only one is truly capable of going head-to-head with European cab-overs in the prime mover and heavy rigid class. Fuso!

they wanted a Japanese

heavy-duty truck with serious performance

Just as truly, though, it is a very odd thing in this day and age of ultra-competitive business and brutal corporate contest that Fuso is the only Japanese competitor with a genuine capacity to tackle the European brands with a modern, efficient, safe and advanced powertrain in the 500hp class. But why is Fuso the only one of four when there exists, in one form or another, the potential for higher powered versions in all Japanese brands? Well, from the outside looking in, it appears corporate complexity and executive xenophobia continue to dictate what heavyduty trucks Japan is able, or willing, to bring to the Australian market. Indeed, there is perhaps no more fascinating and perplexing study of modern-day truck development than that provided by Japan and its sluggish, even dismissive, attitudes to the Australian heavy-duty sector. Take Isuzu, for example. It may be the hands-down leader of the Australian truck market but despite a vast model range, Isuzu is the only one of the four Japanese contenders which does not even offer a dedicated model for prime mover or truck ‘n’ dog work. In fact, it achieves its impressive heavy-duty volumes with a bevy of three and four-axle rigid models rather than trucks purposefully designed to tow a trailer or two. Sure, Isuzu Australia executives desperately yearn for the day when they will be able to offer a true heavy-duty contender but, on current indications, they’re in for a long wait as the brand’s Japanese masters continue to procrastinate with seemingly boundless predictability.

For metro and shorthaul regional work, Fuso’s Shogun 510 is easily the most potent Japanese truck in the business

123

Australian prototype testing started back in 2017 and it was only after a long and extensive test program here and overseas that Shogun 510 was approved for the Australian and New Zealand markets

Then there’s UD, equipped with its impressive Quon, a truck that offers excellent features but, in performance terms, is hamstrung by Volvo’s almost fearful refusal to fit anything bigger than an 11-litre engine topping out at 460hp (343kW). Make no mistake, UD’s local insiders have for a long time rightly believed Quon is capable of broader heavy-duty horizons, nagging Volvo to make its popular 13-litre ‘family’ engine available, but all to no avail. And now, of course, Isuzu owns UD. So, long story short: Isuzu bought UD from Volvo Group on April 1 last year but it seems somewhere in the contractual morass, Volvo is able to keep its versatile 13-litre engine from UD (and apparently Isuzu), thus restraining its Japanese associates from becoming direct competitors to Sweden’s faithful FM range in the 500-plus class. And perhaps strangest of all, UD continues to be sold here through Volvo Group Australia. Like I said: complex, and more than a touch xenophobic. Moving on, Hino now has its much improved and exceptionally well-equipped 700-series heavy-duty range but for reasons

that escape layman logic, the Toyotaowned truck maker has not seen fit to push its durable 13-litre engine beyond the existing peak of 480hp (358kW). Therefore, Hino Australia has been largely denied an opportunity to tackle market segments where shorthaul B-doubles and truck ‘n’ fouraxle dog trailer combinations now routinely require 500hp and more. Fuso, however, was not about to miss an opportunity to take a bold step ahead of its competitive countrymen. Or to be more specific, Fuso’s local leaders at Daimler Trucks Australia could see the potential for an advanced 500-plus powertrain and were obviously prepared to fight tooth ‘n’ nail to see the implanting of an advanced engine and drivetrain from corporate colleague, Mercedes-Benz. It wasn’t easy, though. Nor was it a quick process. A strong case First, not only did Japan need to be convinced of the potential for a flagship Fuso model drawing on the latest mechanical and technological assets of Daimler Trucks, but

124

Daimler’s German masters needed to be assured that such a move would be a valuable addition to the Australian armoury rather than a threat to its burgeoning MercedesBenz business. Quietly, Mercedes-Benz boffins within Daimler Trucks Australia also shared concerns about their Japanese partner’s prospective ability to encroach on Benz’s strong sales volumes. Even so, Daimler Trucks Australia chief Daniel Whitehead was adamant that the truck that would become known as the Shogun 510 would add a valuable string to the corporate bow rather than an in-house detriment to the Benz breed. Eventually, Fuso engineers were given

the go-ahead to start extensive testing that, according to a company statement, included “an outback Australian test of an initial prototype in 2017. Extensive hot weather durability testing was also carried out in South Africa and a final production-ready test was undertaken in Australia and New Zealand.” While all this was happening, Whitehead and his team were fine-tuning a business case for the model’s introduction to the Australian and New Zealand markets where customer support was said to be “highly enthusiastic”. The enthusiasm, however, wasn’t just centred on the prospect of a Japanese heavy-duty truck with more than 500hp issuing from a 13-litre family engine

already well regarded for its fuel efficiency. Similarly compelling, according to Fuso’s local interests, was support for a highly advanced Euro 6 powertrain and suite of safety features equal to anything in the European market. “We pushed hard to get the 13-litre engine into the Shogun for our market because our customers made it clear they wanted a Japanese heavy-duty truck with serious performance,” Whitehead said late last year in a press statement announcing the Shogun 510’s official release. According to the company, more than 50 orders were placed prior to the launch. With 510hp (375kW) and 2,500Nm (1,844lbft) of torque, Daimler confidently states the Shogun 510 was “specifically developed for Australia [and] is the most powerful Euro 6 Japanese truck available”. It is, in effect, the same 12.8-litre OM471 six-cylinder engine and driveline under Mercedes-Benz’s 2651 model, and the same powertrain that pushes the higher powered and higher torqued 2653 version. In both ratings, the engine employs an advanced (asymmetric) turbocharger and what Daimler describes as “the latest generation common rail system with variable pressure boosting for ultimate fuel efficiency”. The decision, however, to limit Shogun 510 to the same outputs as Benz’s 2651 rather than its higher rated brother was unquestionably a wise move, with the company quick to stifle any suggestion of priming its new Japanese flagship for linehaul work despite a gross combination mass rating of 63 tonnes. “Designed for metro and intrastate transport, the Shogun 510 is capable of hauling a single or double trailer set or working as a brawny tipper and dog combination,” Fuso’s press statement asserts. Still, like its Mercedes-Benz equivalent, there’s nothing second-string about the Shogun 510’s performance credentials with maximum power on tap at 1,600rpm and peak torque from 1,100rpm, effectively allowing the 12-speed fully automated transmission – ‘Powershift’ in Benz parlance – to maintain engine speed in a productive and fuel efficient rev range. And like its German counterparts, the Shogun 510 includes the EcoRoll fuel-saving feature and an effective three-stage Jacobs engine braking system. Moreover, all models in Fuso’s upgraded and expanded Shogun range – from 360 to 400, 460 and now 510hp – come

with a swag of advanced safety features. As Fuso states: “All Shogun models benefit from the latest generation of AEBS [advanced emergency braking system] that now uses camera and radar technology to provide enhanced pedestrian sensing capability. This system is standard on all models, as is radar adaptive cruise control.” Likewise: “Lane departure warning system, a driver airbag, electronic stability program and hill start assistance continue as standard elements of the Shogun safety package.” Also standard across the range are daytime running lamps and what Fuso describes as “intelligent headlight control which automatically turns on and off the truck’s high beam function in response to traffic”. On the inside there’s a keyless start button, a seven-inch (17.8cm) high resolution touchscreen for various display and control functions while in the premium 510 model, there’s a leather-wrapped steering wheel along with an overall dash and control design straight from the current MercedesBenz range. It’s worth noting, though, that with Japan being a righthand-drive country, the wands for engine brake, indicators, gear selection and so on are on opposite sides of the steering column compared to the Mercedes-Benz layout. Still, it doesn’t take long to adjust. Nor does it take long to realise that while the Shogun 510 has many advanced and hugely worthwhile features adapted from its continental counterpart, Japan’s influence remains unmistakeable and nowhere more noticeable than inside the cab.

It’s easy to see the Mercedes-Benz influence in the dash and control layout but the driver’s seat is definitely secondrate. So, too, is an archaic internal cab design

Road run The Shogun 510 comes in two forms, each defined by wheelbase. In prime mover guise, the truck sits on a 3,910mm spread while the rigid version is on a 4,300mm wheelbase. Other than that, differences are largely limited to a prime mover model with the option of standard or high-roof cabs, and a rigid version which offers a 4.625:1 final drive ratio as well as the standard 4.222:1 ratio common to both wheelbases. In either form though, Shogun 510 has a gross vehicle mass (GVM) rating of 26 tonnes and gross combination mass (GCM) of 63 tonnes. Achieving Euro 6 compliance with a diesel particulate filter and selective catalytic reduction (AdBlue) aftertreatment system, the engine drives through an overdrive

127

Shogun 510 handles highway work reasonably well but its true forte is around-town and running to regional centres

12-speed automated transmission offering three operating modes (Auto, Economy and Heavy) and crawler and rocking functions for tougher conditions. At the back, a typically dependable Japanese drive tandem with an optional limited slip differential on both axles rides on a four-bag rear air suspension assembly. Up front, long taper-leaf springs and doubleacting shocks take the bumps. Coupled to a Vawdrey curtain-sided B-double set and weighing in at 55 tonnes, the test unit supplied by Daimler Trucks Australia had less than 3,000km on the clock and from the Velocity dealership at Laverton in Melbourne’s industrial west, the plan was to run the truck on what is probably the type of route intended for Fuso’s flagship. That is, a mix of metro traffic and runs into regional areas that, in this case, saw the truck steered north before veering onto the old Hume Highway, through Kilmore and over the testing Pretty Sally climb before spearing across to Broadford, then up to Avenel and return to Laverton on the Hume Freeway to join the crazy traffic antics of Melbourne’s

ring road. All up, almost 270km of varied terrain and traffic conditions. A few things were obvious from the start. From behind the wheel, the general switchgear and control layout is entirely functional and again, typical of the operational ease found in Mercedes-Benz models. Likewise, the dash readout is clear with standard gauges for speedo, tacho, air pressure, and fuel and AdBlue levels, while shifting to different digital information on the central screen between the gauges is as easy as moving control buttons on the steering wheel arms. Simple and user friendly, familiarity with the various functions comes quickly. Forward vision is exceptionally good and mirrors are well placed to provide good rear vision without unduly impeding the driver’s right-side view on roundabouts and the like. However, Fuso’s interior cab design is significantly less likeable than either Hino’s new 700-series or UD’s Quon. Despite the large expanse between driver and passenger seats, there’s only one relatively small compartment next to the driver but

two larger storage bins a long stretch away on the other side of a completely unutilised middle section. It is, quite simply, a strange and somewhat convoluted design that also makes the climb from the driver’s seat to the sleeper shelf an awkward and uncomfortable challenge. Given the size of the cab, it is a strangely inefficient and ineffective use of space. In fact, it’s as if the interior was designed by three committees: one for the driver’s side, one for the passenger side and one for the middle. And maybe another committee to design an awfully hard driver’s seat that

was, by far, the least likeable aspect of the entire truck. Still, maybe the cab’s shortcomings and a fuel capacity of 400 litres will be just the things to ensure the Shogun 510 is limited to local and relatively shorthaul regional roles rather than aspiring to the linehaul duties where its Benz brethren do so well and sport one of the best European cabs in the business. Yet, whereas Fuso’s top toiler has the least appealing cab layout of its Japanese counterparts, there’s no question whatsoever that the powertrain puts Fuso way out in front of its compatriot

competitors. Put simply, and with the entire exercise done in auto mode, it was easy to conclude that no Japanese truck comes close to the smooth strength and efficiency of the Shogun 510’s performance attributes. Over the long and historically challenging Pretty Sally climb, for instance, the Shogun 510 hauling 55 tonnes remained in the high range section of the transmission, dropping briefly to seventh gear at 1,700rpm approaching the crest, before quickly moving up through the range and settling smoothly and easily into the rolling countryside. Driving through a relatively tall 0.775:1

overdrive top gear into a versatile 4.222:1 rear axle ratio, the Fuso notches 100km/h around 1,650rpm but it was on undulating country roads where the impressively responsive 13-litre engine often showed a gritty and occasionally surprising determination to hang onto the top few gears. For this type of work, the 510 rating appears ideal, and given the few kilometres under its belt and diverse demands of the route, a fuel figure of 1.9km/litre (5.37mpg) was at the very least, respectable. Equally, on-road manners were generally good. Other than the bum-numbing driver’s seat, overall ride quality was fine and while steering was arguably too light for highway work – typical of heavy-duty trucks largely designed for Japanese conditions – it made for easy wheel work in and around the ’burbs. Put simply, Fuso’s Shogun 510 appears ideally specified for local and shorthaul regional work at gross weights up to its rated GCM of 63 tonnes, with a safety kit second to none. The powertrain is efficient, responsive and shows an enviable tenacity in hilly conditions. In performance terms it is undeniably a cut above its Japanese competition and the equal of any European contender in a similar power class. Sure, the cab interior needs a considerable makeover but if you want the best of both worlds from the same stable – a good cab atop the same powertrain – spend the extra and buy a Benz. The biggest benefit is, perhaps, that Daimler at least provides the choice.

The powertrain puts Fuso out in front of its competitors

After a two-year delay due to Covid, the Mid-America Trucking Show was back in style to celebrate its 50th year running. Truck owners and drivers from around the country descended on Louisville, Kentucky to show off their rigs 133

itting at Louisville’s Muhammad Ali International Airport (renamed in 2019) I had a couple of hours to kill before beginning the three-leg, 21-hour, 16,000km trip home. I feel exhausted but energised. It had been two years since I last attempted to get over to the MidAmerica Trucking Show (MATS) and this year’s event also happened to be its 50th show. Bonus! Yes, there were a few extra hoops to jump through to get here and get home and, yes, the flight time was a little longer than previous as the international flights are not as abundant. But I made it and I filled up more memory cards than my previous trip. I also managed to meet more passionate truckies, tried fried pickles for the first time and saw my very first tractor pull. Now it’s

time for a bit of a rundown on my adventure. I know there is a heap of fellow truckies keen to experience the lengths the Americans go to for their trucks. Literally! This year, rather than just write about the show, I wanted to break it down a little more. The pros and cons, costs and expenses. We’ve all been locked away for so long I wanted to use this trip to encourage and inform my fellow truck devotees. So, let me whet your whistle with a travel journal roundup of the 2022 Mid-America Trucking Show. Fittingly I’ll start with the logistics of the trip, the getting there. The moment it was announced that the borders were coming down I was nagging my beloved travel agent Lauren Dunemann to get me airborne. Now many people prefer to do all the online booking themselves because they’re more internet savvy than me. I stick with a good travel agent because she knows all the rules and regulations, especially in the new pandemic travel era. She’s also always there when things go wrong. Not if, when. Trust me on that. At the time I booked, and even now, there’s still only limited flight options but that no doubt will change before I head back again. Previously I’d flown Brisbane-Sydney-DallasLouisville and return. This year, however, it was Brisbane-Sydney-LA-Atlanta-Louisville with a return journey via Detroit. With limited flights comes less competitive prices. Previously you could get there for around $1,500. This year the flights set me back $2,200. In terms of the flight experience I was running on Delta Air Lines. Definitely not the same luxury as Air New Zealand

or Singapore Airlines but a few steps above rowing a boat over. The one good thing was the plane wasn’t full on the big Sydney-LA leg. I had an entire row to myself so was able to grab some sleep. Sure, it wasn’t much wider than an old 1418 sleeper, but even with the turbulence we had it did the job. Not much different from doing two-up in a 2.3 K200 on the Bruce highway really. After leaving Sydney at 10am Monday, then 14 hours to LA and a two-hour layover followed by a five-hour flight to Atlanta. Another couple of hours testing out the local

cuisine before the final hour and a half flight to Louisville which saw me landing at about 7pm Monday night. I know the maths doesn’t add up; you just have to take it in your stride. My plan had been to land and grab my rental car, an $800 expense for seven days. Add that to your total. Then I would proceed immediately to my accommodation. No Grand Chancellor or Hilton for me, just a run-of-the-mill motel close to the Kentucky Exposition Centre where the truck show was being held. Seven nights there set me back around $850. Hope you’re keeping a tally. My plans, however, were thrown out the window when the Delta flight decided to fly in over the Kentucky Exposition Centre when landing. From a few hundred feet up I was already getting sunburnt from the shine coming out of the carparks. My fatigue and plan for an early night was squashed as I found myself heading straight into the Exposition Centre. Let the truck spectacle begin.

For those unaware of how it works, the Mid-America Trucking Show is one of the largest trade shows for our industry. While that’s going on inside the Kentucky Exposition Centre they have the PKY Truck Beauty Championship outside in the area that used to house a full baseball stadium. Around the outside of the entire complex is a four-lane road, ‘The Circle of Champions’, that allows access to the centre and the various parking pavilions around it. When the MATS circus rolls into town each year those parking lots fill up with an excess of extremely cool trucks and countless truck washing and polishing companies. They’re all flat out getting fantastic trucks looking like showroom exhibitions. On that Monday night, still two days before the event, those carparks were already a hive of activity. I couldn’t help it; I broke out the camera and, before I knew it, I’d filled in a couple of hours just shooting and drooling. The hardest part of that first night wasn’t any fatigue issues, it was climbing back into the wrong side of the car every time I pulled up and jumped out to grab more photos. Once the light faded I was left with no option but to finally go and check in to my motel. Tuesday morning I was up at sparrow’s fart,

racing down the stairs and ready to jump in my rental and head off to enjoy a day of what can only be described as trucking nirvana. I raced outside from the motel and, like a Warner Brothers cartoon character, froze in mid stride! Yep it was bloody cold, like 35 degrees. Before you start calling me a big softie, that’s 35 degrees Fahrenheit, which is roughly one degree Celsius. Add in a wind chill factor of ‘WTF’ and I would have felt warmer sunbathing in the Arctic Circle. I was prepared though – a quick trip back up the stairs, layered up and back into it. Bringing the shine Since my exploratory expedition the night before there had been numerous trucks roll in. Not just trucks entering the PKY Championship, but trucks and trailers that were getting rolled inside the Exposition Centre as well. The polishing teams in the parking lots were swamped. My first stop was to visit the boys at Evans Detailing and Polishing. When it comes to putting the shine on, Evan Steager and his team are the best in the business. Evan even started his own line of polishing products specifically for trucks. Thankfully you can even find his Time2Shine products

For Eva Knelsen this was her first MATS show and her pink Kenworth was a crowd favourite

here in Australia now. Not that I’m looking for endorsements but just to back up my rundown on Evans Detailing, it should be noted that five of the six Truck of the Show awards this year went to rigs that his crew prepped. I watched in awe as the team hooked in. They end their days looking like underground coal miners. It’s kind of funny to watch the transformation. Seeing the attention to detail these guys go to is incredible. The trucks get a full work over in the parking areas before heading over to the staging area. Once they are in the staging area this is where the rules of a US truck show kick in. Number one rule, no power tools. Any cleaning, polishing and the like must be done by hand only. Rule number two: the owners

and drivers have until 8.30am on Thursday to do as much polishing and staging as they like but at 8.30am on Thursday it is officially ‘rags down’. This year was slightly different in that they judged the Light Show on Wednesday night and then put on a public light show on the Thursday. Their judging is as pedantic as their polishing. For lights, if you have one out, basically that’s it. They’ll measure distances between them to check for uniformity, they’ll assess height of all the lights to check they’re all the same. They take this very, very seriously. Judging the other categories is as fussy as the lights. With such an extremely high calibre of entrants it’s not surprising though. Points can be lost if you haven’t polished the inside of the rims or tyre shined all the tyres. I don’t mean ‘all’ the tyres, I mean all of the tyres. Inside, outside, even the tread … all the tyres. There were even guys who had their tyre valves lined up with the centre of the painted tyre wording and staged so all the tyres were spun exactly the same with the valves top centre. I was just flabbergasted by the extent of the drivers’ commitment. Flabbergasted, thoroughly impressed and extremely worn out. Notable absences The actual Mid-America Trucking Show

opens to the public on Thursday lunchtime, that’s when the numbers start rolling in. Because I’m good to you guys and like to provide all the information I can, I walked the entire internal grounds, covering all the lanes and ensuring I went past every stall for a total of 4.57km. That’s how far it is. Useless statistic aside, the show is enormous. However, it was also a little disappointing. None of the major manufacturers were in attendance. Before Covid hit there was speculation the likes of Kenworth and Peterbilt would only be doing alternate years but there was no Kenworth, Peterbilt, Mack, Freightliner or anything. It could be because, like Australia at the moment, there is a huge wait for new trucks, but who knows? After a three-year hiatus and the fact that it’s the 50th show I would have thought the major players would turn up. Even if just for customer relations. There was still plenty to see though, from massive trailer exhibits to sleepers as big as our actual prime movers. You could get everything from fantastic tools for cleaning up pet hair in your cab to a book on truckie yoga. Among all my wandering around I also found Simon from NXT Journey peddling his famous truckie bags. Unfortunately for me it seems the bags were pretty popular with the Americans as he had none left to sell me for my mate over there. In among all

those selling their wares the ATHS (American Truck Historical Society) had placed some extremely cool classics throughout the three big exhibition halls. The MATS Friday night concert is always a popular event as well. This year saw Tony Justice, known for his trucking music, opening for country star Clay Walker. I admit to getting a bit of toe tapping going but refrained from full on line dancing. Saturday is the final day and by far the busiest. With thousands through the door I was able to avoid the crowds by joining the hundreds of others that were at the prize

When it comes to friendly folk you cannot go past this family – Kolt, Krystal and Bubba Branch with their cleaning assistant Dale Stripling. The family had driven their 1996 W900 from Lakeland, Florida for the show

giving instead. Again, I cannot reiterate how seriously they take their shows and their trophies over there. There’s a big emphasis put on engine bays, as well as interiors, both standard and custom. I really would not like to be a judge. The show officially wraps up at 4pm on the Saturday and at 4.01 the crews are already inside dismantling everything. I, on the other hand, was outside trying to arrange shoots with guys that were heading off that night. The majority of the show trucks were hanging around for the legendary Big Rig Videos convoy on Sunday. This involves doing laps of the exposition centre while Chris from Big Rig Videos works his magic, doing interviews and videos. By lunchtime Sunday you could be forgiven for heading back to the motel to recover from your five days of trucking heaven. On the other hand I lined up several more trucks to photograph as they are just too hard to say no to. It was near on 9pm when my MATS 2022 finally drew to a close and I packed away my well worked Nikons. Monday rolls around and at 10am I’m out

of the motel and at the airport ready for the circus ride that will eventually see me land back in Brisbane at lunchtime on Wednesday. Once again, I’m thankful for others who were reluctant to fly as it ensured I had a whole row of seats to turn into a bed. It was great to finally be back travelling and appreciating the working show trucks that make US trucking great. It was great to catch up with some good friends and it was great to wear out the batteries on my Nikons. As a summary, for those contemplating a trip to the States for a truck show, It’s a hell of an experience. The costs this year would be at the high end, but by next year I’m sure there will be more competitive flight options. Also if you travel with mates, you will save on accommodation as well as sharing a rental car – I’d estimate around $3,000 to $3,500. I would suggest investing in some very comfy shoes as well. I amassed a total of 162,000 steps during my trip. I wouldn’t recommend that. All in all it was a great trip to the 50th MidAmerica Trucking Show and I can’t wait to see what they roll out for the 51st show.

Andrew Hickey has done many different jobs over the years, from tipping and livestock work to farming and earthmoving. Now, he’s behind the wheel of this glorious customised Kenworth C509 built not just for looks, but to take on the toughest roads in Australia

147

DOW 480-146 ND Hickeys Transport.indd 147

25/5/2022 3:51 pm

B Andrew Hickey quite rightfully stands proudly with his new C509. The end result was exactly how he had been envisioning it in his head and heart. It’s a showstopping working rig

ack in the early 20th Century a journalist called Frederick Barnard wrote a piece about the effectiveness of graphic illustrations in advertising. It was titled ‘One Look is Worth a Thousand Words’. It’s this piece of literature that’s widely attributed to the common phrase, ‘a picture paints a thousand words’. That phrase implies an image of something says a lot more than reading about said something. Never a truer statement has been made than in the following pages.

You really don’t need me to tell you how absolutely jaw dropping this C509 is. All you have to do is look at it. Look at how staunch the big C509 is. Look at how amazing the paint job and scroll work is. Look at all the lights and shiny bits. I doubt there’s anything I can say that’s half as impressive as just beholding this behemoth. The pictures certainly say a lot, most of what they say involves four letter words followed by any synonym for “wow”. As solid as my argument was for a picture painting a thousand words, my editor didn’t see the funny side when I tried to charge a thousand words for every photo I sent. Instead, I was abruptly instructed to write more than just the opening paragraph. Luckily for me, the truck is a rolling advertisement for all those that played a part in it.

What the photos don’t touch on is the man behind the project – Andrew Hickey. I say ‘lucky for me’ because Hickey is one of those guys that you automatically want to just open a beer with and chat. He has an old school aura about him where you just know he’ll call a spade a spade and bullshit is only found on the bottom of his work boots. Customised sleeper The fact it was an early morning arrival at Brown and Hurley Toowoomba to meet Hickey and his new C509 meant it wasn’t going to be an ‘over a beer’ kind of catchup, but it did mean I got to observe the big 509 garnering plenty of attention as it sat waiting for us to take it out for photos. The awning of Brown & Hurley’s Toowoomba office is a regular spot for those wanting to catch sight of some pretty cool trucks and this C509 just raises the bar even further. It was almost a shame we had to move it to go and get photos. Almost. Before anyone picks up on the fact I didn’t get many working shots of this big girl, let me clarify – it will work. It will work bloody hard, too. It will no doubt end up working in some of the toughest areas of this great country. That’s exactly what it’s been built for, with the standard Kenworth bunk ripped out and the whole sleeper customised by Icepack Services.

Hickey’s truck has been set up so he can pack up and disappear on the road for six hours or six months – whatever is needed. Therefore, I had to catch this truck quick because its first load could see him in the Northern Territory for a couple of weeks. I couldn’t wait that long! My lack of patience, especially when it comes to eye-catching trucks, means I snapped this immaculate example of Aussie engineering before it had its first load. It will have it soon, though, that I can guarantee. This truck has been built to keep up with Hickey, its owner. He’s a man not afraid to get his hands dirty. Growing up on a farm, Hickey went out working for himself in 1987 after he bought a 1978 SAR tipper and, with a dog in tow, started doing contract work for McMahons, contracting out of Alice Springs. It didn’t take long for his work ethic to be noticed and work increased. Before his 30th birthday, Hickey had added an R-model Mack to the fleet and then a Mack Super-Liner. The three-truck fleet worked throughout

Western Australia and Darwin for McMahons, again doing road construction, mining, civil work. All the clean, easy jobs. After the big floods of 1991, Hickey found himself back in Queensland, carting for the Winton and Jericho Shires during the rebuild phase. It was here that the opportunity came to challenge himself once again with something new. As would be the trait with Hickey, he looked to find clean, easy work (there’s a high level of sarcasm in that sentence in case you missed it). He went from tipping to carting livestock, which is even harder and more crap, quite literally. This change in direction came about in 1993 when Hickey sold off the SAR and the R-model and purchased Peninsula Freighters in Georgetown, Far North Queensland. The purchase netted him a Mack Valueliner and a Mercedes-Benz, as well as several stock trailers. “The Mercedes was fairly well worn,” he recalls, going on to shiver a little as he tried to describe the state of it. He adds that it wasn’t

Hickey gave Damian Gormley from Zealous Airbrushing a fair bit of freedom when it came to working his magic, and as usual he did not disappoint

There’s no missing the big girl at night either, with Icepack services adding more than a few extra LEDs to the show

Just in case the sheer size of ‘Just Quietly’ didn’t give away its ranking in the Kenworth stable, Hickey has the licence plate to go with it

really a selling point when trying to recruit drivers. “Yeah, I was having trouble getting men, so I decided to trade in my two Macks and get one good truck.” The move into purchasing his first brand new truck wasn’t an easy step. It also wasn’t one that Hickey took lightly. “I looked at what Charlie Hudson was doing with his C5s and K series, and the Spicers and all that stuff. We were doing identical work and I took note of all of that,” he explains. With that in mind he found his way into the Brown & Hurley yard in Townsville, fully equipped to trade in his two Macks and spec up a new C501. A couple of hours later the paperwork was signed and Hickey had his first brand new truck – a 1995 T950. Wait, what? Yep, he went in to get a C5 and walked out with a T950. Listen, don’t talk As I mentioned earlier, Hickey is very much an old school bloke, he’s grown up with old school values and attitude, which is obvious when he explained a vital ingredient of his success.

Having such accurate management of the tyre pressures will do wonders for both the ride and the freights. The AIR CTI system will also no doubt help the tyre life. I’ll be keen to hear how many Ks Hickey gets out of these drives

Even the passers-by couldn’t help but come over for a nosey

“Don’t think you know everything. Listen to the right people, the people who know what they are talking about,” he says. He adds that sometimes it’s best to “listen and shut your mouth”. Those attributes saw his plans change in that Brown & Hurley office all those years ago. He listened to the salesman and learnt what would work for his company. That’s why his big ideas of a C5 were transformed into a T950. That’s not to say it wasn’t all smooth sailing with his first brand new truck, especially seeing as the T950s had the new electronic engines in them. There were definitely a few gremlins, but in Hickey’s opinion the Townsville team really stepped up and helped forge his loyalty to the Kenworth brand. “Brown & Hurley were right there for me,” he recalls. “Where I was working, the gulf country, it’s hard country. Hard on gear and hard on men. But Brown & Hurley were right behind me.” The bond he formed with not just the Townsville Brown & Hurley crew but also the Kenworth brand saw him add several more Kenworths to his fleet as it expanded. By the time he sold up Hickeys Livestock in 2002, there was almost the entire Kenworth gamut

spread among the fleet including, finally, a big C501. Before we eventually get back to the awesome C509 I do have to mention another little Hickey story. I shouldn’t say little as it was a major event in the rise of Hickey Livestock. If you thought heading into a salesman office to buy a C501 and walking out with a T950 was a bit of a detour, how about walking into a transport yard to buy a second-hand stock trailer and walking out with the transport company? That’s exactly what happened. In 1998, with Peninsula Freighters going strong, Hickey stopped in at McIvor’s Transport in Charters Towers to purchase a second-hand stock trailer. While there the idea was broached: “How about you buy the whole lot?” That was three trucks – Kenworth SARs – and about 12 trailers with close to 30 decks. Once again, Hickey sought the advice of those around him, looked at all the facts and figure and backed himself. “I made the decision. Sorting it out was the bank’s problem after that,” he jokes. The purchase of McIvor’s saw the disappearance of the Peninsula Freighters name and the emergence of Hickey Livestock. The company moved millions of animals around some of the toughest country Australia has. Hickey was always there

Even the truck’s name ‘Just Quietly’ is just quietly fitted to this truck

alongside the other drivers, never shying away from the work. In 2002, he sold up and sought to chase a new challenge. He chose to become a farmer. “It wasn’t an easy choice to sell,” he admits. “I’d taken it from two trucks to seven triples. I get very attached; the company was a part of me.” Selling it to his good friends at Curley Cattle Transport helped ease that loss, though. From the tough conditions of Australia’s cape, Hickey bought a farm down near Pittsworth and proceeded to become one of Australia’s most successful Parthenium hysterophorus farmers. Before you reach for your phone to Google that, it was my way of trying to put lipstick on a pig, trying to dress up Hickey’s own admission. “All I grew was weeds!” he admits. “I actually asked an agronomist if I was planting my seeds upside down because they definitely weren’t growing up. That’s when he told me it was time to get out of farming.” Again, he listened to the right people. He had spent around seven years trying his hand at farming with no luck. Being a successful weed farmer in Queensland is not the same as being a successful weed farmer in Amsterdam or California. On to the next challenge – let’s try digging holes.

With his Toyota ute and a Bobcat in tow, Hickey started cleaning up drilling sites. Just small jobs that led to bigger jobs, then bigger jobs with bigger equipment, then bigger jobs with drilling rigs. Next thing you know it’s seven years later and Hickey has five drilling rigs, 15 trucks, 80-plus employees and a highly successful new business. By this stage in his working life Hickey has had more than a few 21st birthdays under his belt and is looking to get back to the things he enjoys – trucking. He sold up the drilling business and bought himself a second-hand T908 to get back on the road. “I was a bit too old to go back to livestock. If I hurt myself it’ll take a fair bit longer for recovery,” he admits. “So, I bought some tippers and started doing grain and stuff.” The lifestyle didn’t really suit him and instead he ended up focusing on more flattop and general freight work. His connections ensured that he had plenty to do to keep him and his one-truck operation busy. Time for a change This brings us up to a couple of years ago. When Hickey started contemplating the final truck he would buy, he wanted

156

25/5/2022 3:51 pm

New DEALS something special. “I had a vision in my head of what I wanted, something that represents the last 40-odd years in transport,” he says. The problem was how to get it out of his head and onto the road. In steps Angus Short, one of Toowoomba’s Brown & Hurley salesman and, as Hickey puts it, “a very patient man!”. “It got to the point when I walked into the office Angus would say, ‘OK, what are we buying today?’. My plans just kept changing.” Eventually, in March last year, a C509 was locked in. Hickey knew he would be all over Australia and in every possible environment, so he needed something durable, capable and reliable. It also needed to be something he could live in for long periods of time so the 60-inch (152cm) bunk was an automatic choice. The problem for Hickey was he just didn’t feel the standard Kenworth setup would suit his needs. He went to visit Tom O’Neil and the boys at Icepack Service in Toowoomba and explained his situation. The team then set about fulfilling his requirements. The standard Kenworth King single bed was kept but out came all the rest. All new cupboards were designed and build, a 3,000W invertor was fitted, TV, microwave, dual roll-out

40-litre fridges – there’s even a drawer fridge under the passenger seat. Everything was done to keep a balanced, contained look. Closed cupboards were the preferred look for Hickey with the addition of a very deep shelf above the cupboards. Let’s not forget there’s also a couple of large lockers underneath the bed as well. Icepack Services didn’t just stop with the interior – on the outside of the truck you will find a fold-out table with an electrical outlet inside the dogbox so Hickey can set up his electric hot plates and cook a decent healthy meal when he’s on the road. For those days he’s out in the middle of nowhere and covered in red dirt, he has a shower fitted as well. After all the useful additions Icepack Services got stuck into making the truck look amazing with extra lights, road train guards and plenty of stainless, all of it complemented by the big King Bar on the front. Another cool feature of Hickey’s pride and joy is the addition of the Air CTI system. Once again he sat and listened to the right people when he was investigating a tyre air system that would assist him with the variety of terrain the C509 would encounter. Talking to the right people led him to Air CTI in Morwell, Victoria, which fitted its top-of-the

Poor Angus Short, the salesman, wasn’t informed of Hickey’s plans to airbrush the visor. So, when the truck turned up from Tony Gibbs, he was a little perplexed. Second guessing himself. When the visor was eventually fitted though – WOW

Zealous Airbrushing stepped it up another level in Hickey’s opinion with this feature piece. It will be a lot more calming than a blank visor when staring out the windscreen

-line system to Hickey’s truck. The Air CTI system allows real time monitoring of tyre pressures and real time adjustments. “It’s bloody good,” he says. “It’s got a loaded setting, empty setting and off-road setting. So, you can just push A, B or C then each of those can be adjusted as well. “If you are on a crap road you can drop 10psi out of the drives … piece of cake. It makes it easier on the load and looks after the gear better.” Hickey also explains how it is constantly monitoring every tyre so, if he does get a slow leak, he knows about it well before he sees mudguards and tyre tread flying out the side of the truck. Old school look Now onto the finished look of this big C509. Hickey knew how he wanted the truck to roll out, he had a vision in his head. Getting that vision out of his head, though, was a whole different issue. A visit to Tony Gibbs at Truck Writers in Caboolture changed everything. “Tony said he wanted to do the whole thing – give him a blank canvas and he’d get my ideas to work.” Step one for Tony was to enlist his son, Damian, to help. Damian runs Masterart Design studios and specialises in custom jobs. “I knew I wanted an old school look with

modern colours. I also wanted that seminole design,” Hickey explained. “When I sat down with Damian, he just got it. We talked and he was able to get the ideas out of my head. He nailed it.” It sounds so easy when I write it out like that but the whole job was far from it. Damian estimates nearly 100 hours were put into the truck, just from his end. “It’s not standard run-of-the-mill paint we used either. We used the cherry stuff that’s normally used only on custom Harleys and stuff,” he explains. I also questioned Damian about his ability to extricate his customers’ thoughts so accurately. “I guess that’s part of my job. No one really just comes in and says I want this, this and this. I need to get in their head to see how they see it.” Hickey is the first to attest that Damian did exactly that with the C509. While Damian was working his magic, he also brought in Damian Gormley from Zealous Airbrush, who set about airbrushing a couple of stunning art pieces on the big 509. All Hickey had said was he loved the old school big boats, he loved hot rods, loved the beach and he wanted not just the back wall but also the inside of the drop visor done. Once again, Hickey was blown away by how spot-on Gormley was with the finished design. Then it was just a trip up to Caboolture where

New DEALS Tony, the scroll savant, worked his magic and … voila, a 10/10 C509! Wrapping up I think we should focus on the irony of the truck’s name – ‘Just Quietly’. I’m sure you’ve spotted it on the side of this grand work of automotive art. Hickey has spent his life just quietly going about his business. He has always taken pride in his gear and taken pride in the relationships he has built with his customers and his workmates. His iconic Aussie attributes of quiet determination and chasing challenges have seen him succeed in his endeavours. He hasn’t chased attention; he couldn’t spell Instagram yet alone log on to it. Hell, I’m pretty sure his cell phone only makes calls and plays Tetris. He just quietly potters along in the background. This truck is the cumulation of all those years of quietly getting the job done. While he may still shy away from the limelight, he is happy for the credit to fall on all of those that made his vision come to life. From his long-suffering salesman Angus Short to all the boys at Icepack Services and the father and son Gibbs team. All their work has painted a picture worth more than a thousand words – just quietly!

A very handy feature, Icepack Services’ handy little fold-out kitchen table allows Hickey to plug in his hotplate and cook up a good feed when he’s out in the bush

I told you this truck paints a thousand words. Even in the worst possible conditions for taking photos, this stunning C509 quietly goes about its business of looking good and earning it’s keep

News The machine was autonomously picking up pallets at the show

Pick of the pack Toyota Material Handling Australia (TMHA) showcases automated Toyota RAE160 reach forklift at Auspack TMHA showcased its automated Toyota RAE160 automatic guided vehicle (AGV) reach forklift at the 2022 Auspack Packaging & Processing Machinery expo held in Melbourne in May. The autonomous 1.6-tonne capacity AGV reach forklift, featuring a 10-metre mast, was on display and in action at TMHA’s stand, receiving a large amount of attendee interest. The Toyota RAE160 reach forklift (also available in 2- and 2.5-tonne capacity models) was constantly moving pallets from floor position into a rack and then back again. The forklift integrates with warehouse management systems to operate according to a customer’s unique requirements. It uses a laser-based navigation system and complex range of sensors to safely and accurately handle materials, automatically. The Toyota RAE range of autonomous material handling equipment is designed and manufactured by Toyota Material Handling Europe, with programming and installation performed locally by TMHA engineers. The demonstrator Toyota RAE160 reach forklift at Auspack was fitted with 3D cameras, which further enhance its load detection and rack detection capabilities. In recent years there has been a shift towards automating warehouse

logistics where conventional forklifts were predominantly used. This has been due to large fluctuations in throughput demands, leading to labour issues, improved affordability and shorter returnon-investment periods. COVID19 has also had an impact, further increasing demand for autonomous material handling solutions. The RAE160 AGV reach forklift can also be operated manually, providing the best of both worlds.

“A major thing that sets us apart in the market is that our Toyota RAE AGV reach forklifts are based on the manual platform and so can also be operated as a manual vehicle, as well as being autonomous,” says TMHA product manager – automation Neil Beveridge. “So, in that sense, it’s actually a ‘hybrid’ vehicle, which makes it extremely attractive to the industry due to its ability to be used manually, helping in the transition between manual and autonomous processes. End-users are far less intimidated by the introduction of hybrid vehicles, as there is always a manual roll-back option.” Beveridge says that, like manualonly Toyota reach forklifts, the Toyota RAE AGV forklifts are very reliable and highly serviceable. “Unlike other automated equipment, which tends to be customised, our AGVs all benefit from the consistency of the Toyota Production System, which ensures optimal quality, durability and reliability,” he adds.

The range has max load weights of 1,600–2,500kg
