Kenworth drives to
the top of the ladder
A big month of September sales has seen truck brand
Kenworth take the top of the table from Volvo in the
heavy-duty segment of new truck sales for the year so far

As the clocked ticked over to October 1 the analysis began
in earnest on the third quarter results for truck sales in the
Australian market.
The team the Truck Industry Council, owner and compiler
of the T-Mark truck market sales database, ran the ruler over
the volumes sold per brand, across four commercial vehicle
categories, and determined that while there has been a
slowdown compared to previous quarters in 2023, the full year
trend is still heading towards the best sales result ever.
Including heavy-duty, medium-duty, light-duty and
commercial vans, 35,452 new “trucks” have been sold so far
this year.
TIC CEO Tony McMullan summed up the findings as
follows: “It was a solid quarter for the Heavy and Medium
truck segments, while sales in the Light Duty truck and Van
segments have slowed noticeably in quarter three.
“At the end of the third quarter 2023, total heavy vehicle
sales are up over the same point in 2022, but not to the same
degree as we saw at the end of June this year,” McMullan says.
“I believe that the end of the instant asset write-off tax
incentive, in June 2023 and interest rate rises, are now starting
to negatively impact new truck sales.

BranWITH
ISUZU
Sam Docker with Treesafe's
newest truck

The Isuzu's size has helped to
reduce trips to the tip

With 20,000 kilometres under its belt the newest truck in
the Treesafe Environmental Services’ fleet in Queensland
is proving its worth every day
After 17 years in the business of maintaining and removing trees for homeowners
and schools around South East Queensland,
Treesafe Environmental Services knows
what it needs in a truck.
When the business’ director Sam Docker
went looking for a bigger option for his
business in 2022 he settled on an Isuzu FXZ

240-350 6x4 due to its size and ability to haul
a FWR Tandem Axle Tag Trailer.
The FXZ 240-350 is also equipped with
Isuzu’s 6UZ1-TCC engine with 257 kW (350PS)
@ 2,000 rpm and 1,422 Nm of torque @ 1,400
rpm.
It’s configuration is perfect for pulling
loads of tree and plant matter it’s been set
up handle the most arduous of towing jobs,
which often includes Treesafe’s nine-tonne
Morbark woodchipper.
“We specialise in tree maintenance, tree
removal and pruning, and our business
approach is similar to a commercial set
up, but our clients are the ‘mums and dads'
market, so doing arboriculture work on folk's
properties, keeping their homes safe,” Docker
says.
“We also do medium-scale land clearing,
and workplace health and safety compliance
for trees and plants on school grounds.”
The new truck joins another Isuzu in the
fleet, an FVR purchased in 2007 from Blake
Montgomery at Sutton Motors Arncliffe.
“The FVR has really put in the hard yards,
we still use it every day,” he says.

DEALS Showcase

“But depending on the size of the job, the
team can be allocated between one to four
jobs per day, so having the ability to load up
with a bigger truck makes the day that more
efficient.
“The FXZ was bought to tow capital
equipment for us; we even had the gearbox
specifically recalibrated by the dealership.
“We specified the model with the bogey
axle so we could tow our new eight-tonne
excavator and also load a five-tonne
excavator on it as well.”
Sam said the newest edition to Treesafe’s
fleet is admirably fit for purpose, having
travelled over 20,000 kilometres since being
collected from Suttons Motors in August
2022, supporting the team for jobs six days a
week.
“The team will be at the depot early in the
morning, they'll set the gear up and then
they'll drive to the first job site… the days
are always packed with carrying out tree
maintenance and arboriculture work.
“My drivers appreciate the addition of the
FXZ truck and say the ride is very smooth
considering the power behind it.
“We’re also pleased that to find it's got good
fuel consumption and overall, it's a costeffective truck to run.”
On the service side, Docker uses Brisbane
Isuzu at Archerfield.

“We always get our trucks serviced with
Brisbane Isuzu and a big plus point for us is
being able to access 24-hour servicing,” he
says.
“Being on the road six days a week, we
can't afford downtime, so Brisbane Isuzu
services our trucks overnight.
“Planning our services in advance is
critical to the smooth running of the
business as our jobs are booked out in
advance by two or three months,
minimum.”

Keen on Kenworth
When it comes to brand loyalty truck driver Simon Russell is clear
where his heart is set as our writer Alex Catalano found out
You won’t find a bigger Kenworth
fan than livestock transport worker
Simon Russell.
Take a look through his shed, and
you’ll find a gold mine of memorabilia
and merchandise. Some may not see
the value in it, but to him, it’s more
than special.
Stickers, plaques, glasses, keychains,
posters – you name it, and Russell
probably has it.

The driving lifestyle was always in
the blood for Russell. Passed down
from generation to generation, he’s
doing the family name proud.
Now, he’s getting to live out his
dream driving a 2021 Kenworth T659
for Trans Australian Livestock and
Freight Management, where he’s been
since May last year.
“I’ve run all over New South Wales,
Queensland, Victoria, down in

The T659 Kenworth Simon Russell loves
to drive each day for Trans Australian
Livestock and Freight Management

Western and South Australia as well,
mainly carting sheep and lambs back
to Tamworth,” Russell tells ATN.
“I tow a set of 4x2 convertible sheep
crates. It’s a good truck.
“This truck had 185,000km on it
when I got it. It rides beautiful, plenty
of room in it, great vision out of it, can’t
fault that.
“Ideal for going through Melbourne,
ideal truck for the city. It’s got
400,000km on it now, I can’t fault it
at all.”
There’s plenty of love in Russell’s
voice when he talks about his
Kenworth. It’s what he describes as his
“pride and joy”.
He’s driven three other trucks
before on other jobs, a Western Star,
a Kenworth T659 also carrying
sheep deliveries, and a K104 cabover
Kenworth.

News

“The K104 was where it all kicked
off, 2019 was where I started carting
livestock,” Russell says.
“Before that I’d wash trucks and
trays and I’d done a little bit of casual
truck driving for other companies in
the Hunter Valley.
“I do take a lot of pride in what I’m
driving now. When I get the chance,
every weekend, I’ll wash it.
“I actually went to Kenworth and
bought a drum of their Kenworth
Wash and Wax, and it’s unbelievable.
“The best detergent or soap I’ve
used on a truck. On the chrome I use
Autosol polish.”
Growing up around farms and
trucks, and the wide range of
equipment that comes with it all,
carting sheep around always seemed
like a natural fit.
Some of Russell’s fondest memories
growing up, and what sparked his
Kenworth obsession, were with his
old man, riding along on jobs and

living out his wildest fantasies.
“I’m third generation, my
grandfather had trucks and farm
machinery and my father was a truck
driver for more than 30 years, on and
off working for different companies,”
Russell says.
“It’s come from dad. As a young
fella I was in the truck with him when
I wasn’t at school, on holidays and
weekends.”
Being on the farm was where the
love for animals comes from, Russell
explains.
“I love working with sheep, I’m
passionate about my sheep,” he says.
“I’ve got a couple of dogs that help
with loading and unloading.”
The trucking lifestyle is a busy one,
and at times a strenuous one, but the
love for it all keeps Russell going on
the long drives.
He makes a habit out of getting
down to the Kenworth Klassic at the
Clarendon Classic Truck Show, but he

had to miss it this year due to being
on a job.
Russell is loving the opportunity he
has to travel all across Australia to get
to see all kinds of sights and sounds in
his Kenworth.
“What I enjoy the most is just going
to different places, talking to the
farmers about their operations,” he
says.
“You get to see different places
that you’d never think you would
see. We’re going to Longreach
in Queensland, I love western
Queensland up there. The people are
great.”
And when it comes to a dream
truck, Russell knows exactly what
he’s after. Kenworth will always be
number one.
“Probably a SAR Legend… I do like
the old SARs,” he laughs.
“The T659 is my favourite though.
If I had the chance, I’d own it. They’re
just a great truck.”

DAF truck earns
Drivers Choice award

DAF XF proves once again outstanding
efficiency and comfort

The XF 450 earned the major vehicle manufacturer the
highly renowned top prize for truck performance
It was voted as the best truck of
the year by the readers, comprised
of owners, operators and drivers,
earning the ‘Drivers Choice’ award.
Voters said that the XF
outperformed its competition due
to its low operating costs. It had been
previously voted the ‘International
Truck of the Year’ in 2022.
The European Truck Challenge
2023 (ETC) gave drivers the chance
to test drive the vehicle, along with
many other well-esteemed trucks.
Truck & Trailer Welt editor-inchief Philipp Bonders congratulates
the company on earning the award.
“Throughout the European Truck
Challenge 2023, one tractor unit in
particular consistently impressed
the ETC test drivers: the New
Generation DAF XF 450,” he says.
“In the test, no other cab offered
more comfort, better equipment or
a more attractive design. The DAF

XF 450 was duly rewarded with the
highest score in the driver rankings,
resulting in the ETC Drivers Choice
award for 2023.”
Truck & Trailer Welt editor HansJürgen Wildhage was one of the
people who got the chance to drive
the truck in testing, and holds plenty
of praise for the vehicle.
“In addition, with the current fuel
prices, the DAF XF 450 proved to be
the most cost-efficient truck thanks
to its very low combined fuel and
AdBlue consumption,” he says.
“The smoothness the DAF XF
450 displayed while driving over
the demanding ETC test route,
including the mountain roads, was
also impressive.
“I particularly liked the smooth
running of the engine. And when it
comes to fuel consumption when
rolling on individual sections of
the comparison test route, the

Dutchman is clearly ahead of the
competition.”
DAF board member Bart Bosmans
graciously accepted the award and
thanks the voters for nominating the
XF.
“We are extremely honoured to
have received both the ‘Drivers
Choice’ award and recognition for the
lowest operating costs,” he says.
“Together with the XD, XG and
XG+ series, the New Generation XF
embodies both the driver’s dream
and the owner’s delight.
“The cab is spacious, luxurious
and comfortable and offers an
unprecedented direct view, resulting
in the best working space for any
driver. In addition, the trucks run at
the lowest operating costs.”
The Scania 420 R with a Superbased powertrain also won an award
as the most fuel-efficient truck in the
ETC.

Ryde trials the Mighty Electric
The City of Ryde recently trialled the Hyundai electric truck and is ready to reveal its results
New South Wales’ City of Ryde
recently took delivery of a brandnew Hyundai Mighty Electric truck
for a three-day trial that furthers the
council’s commitment towards
becoming net zero-emissions
by 2035.
The light-duty 7.3-tonne truck,
which delivers high performance
and zero tailpipe emissions, was
delivered to Council’s Meadowbank
Operations Centre and was put
through its paces by a number
of drivers, including City of Ryde
Mayor Sarkis Yedelian.
With an estimated working AER
(All Electric Range) of up to 200km
when fully loaded, fully charged
and with the air conditioning
running the truck can be recharged
from 8 per cent to 100 per cent in
just 71 minutes when connected to
an 800V ultra-rapid (DC) charger.

Council is currently developing
an implementation strategy for the
electrification of the entire light
vehicle fleet, which will assist in
achieving the net zero-emissions
target of 2035 (or sooner) for council
operational emissions and 2040 (or
sooner) for community emissions.
Yedelian says the Mighty Electric
truck is an exciting glimpse into the
future.
“It was great to meet Hyundai
Australia’s chief operating officer
John Kett, director of sales Gavin
Donaldson, and senior commercial
manager Shahab Anwar and I was
even able to enjoy a test drive of this
futuristic vehicle,” he says.
“The fact that Hyundai is proud
to have its Australian headquarters
in our booming Macquarie Park
innovation district makes this
collaboration even sweeter.”

Hyundai’s John Kett says he’s
impressed with City of Ryde’s
commitment to net zero-emissions.
“We are excited about City of
Ryde’s trial of our Mighty Electric
truck as part of Council’s ongoing
transition to zero-emissions
transportation,” he says.
“Headquartered as we are at
Macquarie Park, Hyundai Motor
Company Australia is here to
fully support the City of Ryde’s
decarbonisation efforts and we
salute their progressive thinking
and broad-based commitment to
tackling climate change.
“We trust the Mighty Electric
will meet all of the City of Ryde’s
needs and we look forward to
collaborating in further trials of
Hyundai zero emissions truck
variants as they come to
market.”

Order breaks
eCanter record

The new Fuso eCanter has attracted
a massive order in Japan

A popular Japanese trucking operator has ordered a record-breaking
number of new Fuso eCanters to commit to sustainability goals
Popular truck brand Daimler has
announced today that its subsidiary,
Mitsubishi Fuso, will deliver around
900 eCanter units to Yamato
Transport based in Tokyo, Japan, as
part of the world-first introduction of
the new eCanter.
In the largest ever order of the
eCanter model to date, deliveries
have already begun.
The eCanter was first launched
by Fuso in 2017 as Japan’s first
mass-produced electric light-duty
truck. Since the launch of the firstgeneration model six years ago, the
eCanter has grown globally, with the
advantage of having no emissions
and little vibration or noise a critical
part of its success.
Yamato Transport first introduced
25 models of the first eCanter in 2017
and has now decided to invest in the
new generation of the eCanter.
Yamato Group has decided to
make the historic investment in

the eCanter to achieve a 48 per
cent reduction in greenhouse
gas emissions by 2030, followed
by virtually zero greenhouse gas
emissions by 2050.
This round of eCanters delivered
to Yamato Transport include a
standard cab, S-battery van vehicle
with three compartments for dry,
refrigerated and frozen functions.
The narrower standard cabs
added to the new models make it
more manoeuvrable to suit urban
deliveries, while the charging port is
mounted at the rear of the vehicle for
easy daily charging and loading or
unloading of cargo.
It’s the company’s first introduction
of a two-tonne class EV truck.
Yamato will use FUSO Green Lease,
a lease product exclusive to the
new eCanter, to cover everything
involved with the new fleet of trucks.
“The introduction of EVs is one
of the most important initiatives

to promote our sustainable
management. In introducing EVs,
it is important that they’re easy
to use for employees as well as
environmentally friendly with
good performance,” Yamato
Transport president Yutaka
Nagao says.
“We will continue to promote
our efforts to realise a sustainable
society in cooperation with our
partners and the local community.”
Mitsubishi Fuso president and
CEO Karl Deppen says the eCanter
reduces the burden on drivers
through its safe, low vibration
driving without emissions.
“This was highly evaluated by
Yamato Transport, who previously
introduced 25 of the first generation
eCanter back in 2017,” Deppen says.
“We’re honoured to support
Yamato in continuing their efforts
to go carbon neutral as they deploy
our EV trucks throughout Japan.”

Going solo
Mining trucks could become the unmanned drones of the land if Volvo’s removal of the
safety driver from an active commercial mining operation in Norway proves viable
Taking the human element out of the
safety equation in a limestone mine
in Norway is breaking new ground on
the automation of the on mine
transportation task.
Volvo Autonomous Solutions
(V.A.S.) have provided seven fully
autonomous Volvo FH trucks to
mining business Brönnöy Kalk for
use in tough conditions at their
limestone mine in Velfjord.
The trucks operate in challenging
conditions that include steep
inclines, extreme weather and long
stretches of dark tunnels, dragging
limestone from the mine to the
crusher.
“A long-held vision is now a

reality. Removing the safety driver
in an active commercial transport
operation in some of the world’s most
challenging conditions is a major
leap for the industry,” says Nils Jaeger,
president of Volvo Autonomous
Solutions.
“With this milestone we are
underlining our leadership in
autonomous driving and paving
the way for safer and more efficient
future for the mining and quarrying
industries.”
Brönnöy Kalk’s managing director
Raymond Langfjord says the move
to greater automation is a big step
forward for the business.
“We implemented autonomous

trucks for several reasons — safety,
efficiency and flexibility.
“With the removal of the safety driver
we can now truly reap these benefits
and increase our competitiveness in
this tough industry.”
Work on the project started in 2018
with a business model that allows
companies such as
Brönnöy Kalk to buy autonomous
capacity from V.A.S. rather than
buying a truck or a machine.
V.A.S. head of solutions for mining
and quarry, Sven-Erik Gustafsson, says
the business model makes it more
attractive for customers to try the
technology.
“While autonomy brings
unprecedented benefits to the
industry, incorporating new
technologies into existing operations
can be a daunting challenge for many
customers.
“By providing a complete solution
that encompasses everything from
software to site infrastructure to
training to operations, we are able to
reduce complexity for customers like
Brönnöy Kalk and enable them to be a
part of the autonomous future.”
The seven Volvo FH Trucks
are operated by a V.A.S. in-house
developed virtual driver to operate
over a five-kilometre path with the
wheel loader operator using a touch
screen in the wheel loader to call the
trucks for loading and to manage the
operation.

Hundred for Hartwigs
Penske dealer Hartwigs has raised a remarkable milestone
and is continuing to serve local Australian customers
Long-standing Penske Australia
dealer, Hartwigs, is celebrating 100
years serving south-central NSW,
ACT, and northern Victoria truck
customers.
Dealer principal Charlie Hartwig
says the 100-year milestone for the
family business was a testament
to his team’s genuine relationships
with customers and exceptional
products.
“Since my great-great-grandfather
first started our business in 1923,
the team at Hartwigs has invested
time and energy into our customer
relationships, obtaining a deep
understanding of customer
requirements,” he says.
Craig Lee, executive general

manager of on-highway at
Penske Australia says: “We’ve
worked closely with the Hartwig
family and team over decades
and witnessed first-hand
their dedication to customers,
ensuring the perfect solution
each time.”
“It’s no surprise that the team at
Hartwigs has achieved this.”
Representing the Western
Star Trucks, MAN Truck & Bus,
Dennis Eagle, and Detroit brands,
the diesel engine dealer has
loyally served customers in
Queanbeyan and Shepparton,
with their sights set on expansion.
“Over the last year, we’ve
launched all-new truck platforms

The Hartwigs’ team have at least
100 reasons to celebrate

across Western Star and MAN, so
our relationship with our dealer
network is more critical than ever
as customers experience and
understand our new product
portfolio,” Lee says.
“To this end, we are expanding
Hartwigs’ coverage into the Orana
and Riverina regions of NSW and
the Sunraysia region of Victoria.”
Hartwigs says it is “incredibly
proud” to be in this position and
is looking forward to growing its
services over the next 100 years.
“We are confident that
customers will continue to receive
exceptional support from the team
at Hartwigs, and here’s to the next
100 years,” Lee says.

Inside new Scania Smart Dash
Scania has unveiled its new digital dashboard Smart Dash that
has a wide range of new benefits for drivers
Heavy vehicle maker Scania has
unveiled a new digital dashboard
Smart Dash that it says is opening the
way to smarter, safer and better truck
driving experiences for all kinds of
drivers.
Its modular build and latest digital
solutions ensure that Scania trucks
offer a secure, connected and
comforting atmosphere behind the
wheel.
Scania says its drivers will have
excellent control over their truck
and surroundings, receiving discreet
nudges from their smart truck
companion whenever a hazard is
anticipated or an action is requested.
“Apart from great overview
and endless opportunities to
individualise the driver station,
our Smart Dash is also the leverage
for increased communication and
digitalisation in and around the
truck,” Scania Trucks head and senior
vice president Stefan Dorski says.

“Scania trucks can now be closely
integrated with everything from
the fleet management system to the
actual driving environment and
an array of cloud-based services
for improved safety, uptime and
productivity.”
Dorski says the Smart Dash is
the latest jigsaw piece in Scania’s

The 2023 model Scania Smart Dash

The new Scania Smart Dash for buses

quest for transforming the transport
industry, making it smart and
sustainable.
The brand says there are limitless
opportunities to individualise the
driving experience while always
having the latest data and information
available.
Scania says its Smart Dash represents
the latest advance in human and
machine interface solutions for driver
stations in heavy trucks. The driver
chooses which information to display
or omit and the whole set-up is made
for being intuitive and user-friendly
with a smart mix of physical and
digital controls that offers overview
and peace of mind, without cognitive
overload.

LB 111; 1969 Scania LB 80; and a 1976 model

The cab and dash
of the 1974 Scania LB 111

The Smart Dash driver station
always includes two displays: the
Driver Display in front of the driver
and the Centre Information Display (a
touch screen that is available in two
sizes - 10’1 or 12’9 inches). The driver
can give input via the touch screen,
by pushing buttons or by voice
steering.
Scania has settled for a balanced
mix between physical and digital
controls, steering away from the
common mistake of hiding vital
functions one or two levels down in
a menu.
“The most well-used functions
should of course be readily available,”
Scania Trucks product manager
Eduardo Landeo says.
“It is all about offering the drivers
the best possible experience and
making sure that new technology
always supports the drivers rather
than annoying them or bringing
cognitive overload. Or even, in
the worst-case scenarios, create
situations where their focus wanders
from the road and direct vision
to adjust basic things such as the
interior temperature.”
Scania’s latest truck generation

offers many safety functions as
standard when sold on European
markets. Other functions are optional
and actually go beyond the legal
minimum standards.
One example is Scania’s Advanced
Emergency Braking for Vulnerable
Road Users (AEB VRU); instead of just
warning that there is a pedestrian
in front of the truck, the vehicle
also does the actual braking when
necessary.
“With this introduction, we open

up a digital and connected spectrum
that will benefit drivers as well as fleet
owners and fleet managers,” Landeo
says.
“Smart and safe trucks will bring
increased productivity, fewer
accidents and safer drivers. The
driver will experience that theirs
working tool really supports
them, providing everything from
information about the truck itself and
possible hazards to general guidance
and their favourite pods with crystalclear sound.”
“No matter how experienced or
careful a driver is, with all the time
they spend on the roads there will
always come a day when he or she is
eternally grateful for the alert from
one of the warning systems.”

Power players battery deal
Three popular heavy vehicle manufacturers have combined in
the United States to advance battery cell production
A new global joint venture has been
announced combining three major
players of the heavy vehicle
industry to advance battery cell
production in the US.
The new zero-emissions business
unit Accelera sees Cummins,
Daimler Truck and PACCAR
combine to accelerate and localise
battery cell production and the
battery supply chain in the US.
The new joint venture (JV) will
manufacture battery cells for
electric commercial vehicles and
industrial applications, with total
investment expected to be between
two and three million dollars for the
21-GWh factory.
Accelera by Cummins, Daimler
Truck and PACCAR will each own
30 per cent of, and jointly control,
the joint venture, which will initially
focus on the lithium-iron-phosphate
(LFP) battery technology family for
commercial battery-electric trucks.
The LFP battery cells produced by
the joint venture will be able to offer
several advantages compared to
other battery chemistries, including
lower cost, longer life and enhanced
safety, without the need for nickel

and cobalt raw materials.
Accelera by Cummins, Daimler
Truck and PACCAR expect to
see growing demand for battery
technology throughout this decade
and US customers will benefit from
a state-of-the-art dedicated battery
cell factory.
EVE Energy will serve as the
technology partner in the joint
venture with 10 per cent ownership
and will contribute its industryleading battery cell design and
manufacturing know-how.
This strategic joint venture
enables its owners to create the
necessary scale for access to cost
effective and differentiated battery
cell technology, ultimately creating
value for commercial vehicle
customers in North America.
“We have the responsibility
to decarbonise in a way that is
best for all of our stakeholders
and the planet. This requires
working closely with key partners,”
Cummins chair and CEO Jennifer
Rumsey says.
“This announcement reflects that
action. Not only are we advancing
a key technology solution for our

customers, but accelerating the
energy transition in the United
States.”
PACCAR CEO Preston Feight says:
“Our vision is the highest quality,
locally produced battery technology
to enhance the operations of our
customers and help them achieve
their operational and environmental
goals.”
Daimler Truck CEO Martin Daum
says partnerships and a focus on
costs and smart capital allocation
are key levers for the company’s
success when it comes to sustainable
transport.
“This planned joint venture enables
economies of scale beyond Daimler
Truck. It is a key puzzle piece of our
battery industrialisation strategy,
ensuring access to the right battery
cell technology at the right cost,”
Daum says.
The transaction is subject to
customary closing conditions, and
receipt of applicable merger control
and regulatory approvals including
the submission of a voluntary
notice to the Committee on Foreign
Investment in the United States
(CFIUS).

HVIA’s appoints a new chief
advocacy officer
Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia (HVIA)
has appointed Dr Adele Lausberg as its
new chief advocacy officer.
Working alongside Greg Forbes and
chief technical officer Adam Ritzinger, the
team will initially focus on developing a
set of priorities to support the transition
to zero emission vehicles, Australian
manufacturing sovereignty and
workforce development.
With ample experience in policy
management, Todd Hacking, HVIA’s CEO,
says HVIA is excited to have her on board.
“Adele is a proven performer for
membership associations having
previously worked with the Property
Council of Australia, Tourism
Accommodation Australia and the
Australian Medical Association,” he says.
She will work to develop proactive
policy positions to support the industry
and will then set about affecting change
by influencing government decision
makers and stakeholders.
“She particularly relishes when given
the chance to engage members, develop
a common position and then articulate
the importance of that vision to decision
makers,” Hacking says.
“Her PhD thesis was based around the
decision-making structures and processes
within the Federal Parliament.
“There is no shortage of issues facing
the heavy vehicle industry, and to have a
policy professional of Adele’s calibre is a
boon for HVIA and the broader industry.”

infrastructure space for Tasmania,”
he says.
“Across the road, rail, ports and

Marc Jacobsen is the newly appointed
chief financial officer at CouriersPlease

New CFO for CouriersPlease
CouriersPlease has revealed its latest CFO,
who comes from Australia Post
CouriersPlease has announced the
appointment of Marc Jacobson as
Chief Financial Officer (CFO).
Jacobson joins the senior
leadership team working to
achieve continued growth in the
E-Commerce space and cement
CouriersPlease’s reputation as an
Australian leading courier and freight
service.
Prior to CouriersPlease, Jacobson
spent eight years at Australia Post,
where h e oversaw the growth
of the business’ six-billion-dollar
operational network and helped
establish its Parcels Division.
During his time at Australia Post,
Jacobson was instrumental in the
development of more than 10 new
parcel sites during the industry’s
E-Commerce boom.
Prior to this position, he worked
with some of Australia’s leading
businesses including Wesfarmers
Industrial & Safety, Best & Less,
KPMG and E&Y, and is a Chartered
Accountant and holds a Masters of
Applied Finance.
“I’m thrilled to welcome Marc to the
team. His impressive track-record
overseeing business growth is a
huge win for us, but it is his tenacious
attitude and innovative thinking
that will help CouriersPlease on

its trajectory in being the fastest
growing parcel and courier service
in Australia,” CouriersPlease CEO
Richard Thame says.
“Marc also has a keen interest in
the customer experience, having
worked in Best & Less’s commercial
division, so he understands retailers
and the external pressures they face.
I’m looking forward to working with

Marc and utilising his keen expertise
to unlock new areas of growth.”
Jacobson says it’s a privilege to be
joining CouriersPlease at such an
exciting time for the company and
the industry.
“Although there are economic
headwinds that need to be managed,
E-Commerce continues to grow at a
faster rate than bricks and mortar and
CouriersPlease is in the best position
to take advantage of this growth,”
Jacobson says.
“Considering UK E-Commerce
sales make up around a third of total
retail sales, and Australia is currently
sitting at around 20 per cent, we
know that there is a considerable area
of room for growth.
“With a superb team of staff and a
network of hardworking Franchise
Partners, I have no doubt that this can
be achieved.”

Diagnostics: Open Road

Finding truck drivers continues to be a big
challenge for the industry

Make drivers a priority
Skill classification
Skills
l ifi ti re-vamp can’t’t come quick
i k
enough as we struggle to find drivers
Somebody I know went into “secret
shopper” mode last week to explore
the state of Australia’s truck driver
shortage.
“Secret shopper” is a strategy
routinely adopted by businesses
testing their own services to see if
they are “customer friendly”.
They send an undercover
employee to the aisles of a
Bunnings or Myer to find out what
shoppers experience.
In this instance, the exercise
involved poking around the
Federal Government’s skills
classification website www.
jobsandskills.gov.au where various
occupations are given a skills
classification.
It’s important because the skills
level given to an occupation
determines their priority in the
immigration queue when a driver
applies for a visa to come and work
here.
The bad news was that the
website was broken.
Its search engine didn’t even
bring up Truck Driving as an
occupation.
Manually moving through the
site, the secret shopper reached
page 73 before a message appeared
on the screen saying: “The website
encountered an unexpected error.
Please try again later”.
In the scheme of things, a
government website not doing
what it should on a given day isn’t
the world’s biggest problem.

Warren Clark,
CEO of the
National Road
Transport
Association

But our system for finding drivers
to deliver on the freight task needs
urgent repair.
It’s not just drivers that are in short
supply.
We don’t have enough heavy
diesel mechanics and technicians or
supervisors and managers with the
expertise to support our industry.
The problem is acute in the
Northern Territory and Western
Australia.
The road transport industry put
these issues on the table for the
newly-minted Albanese Government
at its pre-Jobs Summit round table in
September 2022.
It was suggested that the
Government redesignate truck
driving as skill level 3 under the
Australian and New Zealand
Standard Classification of
Occupations (ANZSCO) rather than
the current skill level 4.
The Government was asked to
add truck driving to the Australian
Apprenticeship Priority List (which
determines eligibility for training
support payments) and the Trade
Support Loans Priority List.

And it was asked to add truck
driving to the skilled migration visa
system, provided that applicants
migrating to Australia undertake
driver training here and hold an
Australian driving licence of the
required class.
All of this has been caught up in
a broader review of the Australian
Immigration System, which took a
year, received almost 500 written
submissions and produced a 190page report which was delivered in
March this year.
The report doesn’t mention truck
driving and is more concerned with
the bigger picture.
There are broader issues at play
and they demand a whole-ofindustry approach.
NatRoad is not alone in saying
the existing heavy vehicle driver
licensing system is not up to scratch.
Drivers can obtain a licence
without the competencies that
employers need.
They can move from one licence
class to the next without gaining
experience behind the wheel.
If they’re arriving from overseas,
there’s no national standard of
competencies for them to prove that
they meet.
Women are grossly underrepresented in road transport and
a big reason why is that they don’t
feel comfortable with the current
standard of roadside rest stop
facilities.
And at the risk of repeating myself,
the mindset behind enforcement of
Heavy Vehicle National Law needs
to change from one of penalising
drivers for minor breaches for the
hell of it, rather than being driven by
safety.
That last one is pushing people out
of our industry at a time when we can
least afford to lose them.
The driver shortage is a global
problem but that doesn’t mean
we should sit back and wait for
somebody somewhere else to solve
it.
This is enough of an issue to
require a summit of industry and
government in the interests of our
national economy.

closures of the past few years,
both Alexandra Truck Show
(in Victoria) and Casino Truck
Show (in NSW) clocked up record

numbers of entrants from a trucking
community keen to get back
together and celebrate their trucks
and the camaraderie they’ve missed
in an event-free world.
For HHA (Heavy Haulage
Australia) boss Jon Kelly, a major
sponsor of the Castlemaine event
along with Dave Larsen from
Larsen’s Truck Sales, the show is a
highlight of the annual calendar.
“This show produces the best
trucks in the country and the people
who support it set the benchmark in
trucking,” Kelly says.
Entries for the 2023 event are
now open, with multiple judging
categories covering a wide range of
working and show trucks.
Jeromey Edwards from JBE
Transport, who won last year’s Rig of
the Show with his 2008 Kenworth,

These great Macks were on
show at Castlemaine in 2022

is coming back as a sponsor of a new
Engine Bay category in 2023.
For others the Castlemaine Rotary
Truck Show is a chance to relax with
their families and catch up with old
mates.
There is live music all weekend,
a range of catering suppliers and
a licensed bar onsite too. Shamick
Transport had such a great time
last year with their team that they
are returning as a feature sponsor
providing free children’s rides and
entertainment.
All proceeds raised from the event

NSW aims for zero
The NSW government is taking a big step towards sustainability with
its latest road transport and freight net zero policy
The NSW government has taken an
important step towards achieving
net zero by 2050, with the release of
a new net zero emissions policy for
heavy road and rail freight.
The Towards Net Zero Emissions
Freight Policy focuses on reducing
the carbon footprint created by
heavy road vehicles and rail freight.
The government says freight
accounts for 25 per cent of total
transport greenhouse gases in NSW
and, with demand projected to rise
by 34 per cent by 2061, it says the
time to act is now.
The new policy will see the NSW
government work together with
industry to support the transition to
low and zero emission technologies
and to ensure its transport network
is ready to adapt as technology and
solutions evolve.
“This is an important step towards
achieving net zero, while working
constructively with industries,” NSW
premier Chris Minns says.
“Reducing freight emissions
requires a genuine partnership
between government and industry.

We’re always going to need a freight
sector to get the essentials from A
to B, so we need to make sure our
freight industry is sustainable over
the long term.”
The first step will see a two-year
trial to give extra mass zero emission
heavy vehicles, which weigh more
due to their batteries, access to the
state road network. This means
the industry can invest in the
technology without sacrificing the
payloads that underpin the freight
business.
An online comparison tool has
also been developed to support the
transition, providing a free resource
for the freight industry to source
accurate information on the cost and
environmental benefits of low and
zero emission vehicles.
“Many freight operators are natural
innovators and are already investing
in low emission technologies,” NSW
transport minister Jo Haylen says.
“This policy means that the
government is able to support
industry to continue to invest in
new and emerging technologies and

reflects our joint commitment to
reduce freight emissions.
“This isn’t just about cutting
emissions and protecting our
environment, it’s also about
strengthening our economy
through driving innovation,
creating jobs and increasing
competitiveness.”
The Towards Net Zero Emissions
Freight Policy is a significant step
towards reducing emissions in
the transport sector, with the
NSW government working to
remove barriers to accelerate
uptake, while balancing the freight
sector’s challenging operating
environment.
“The NSW government recognises
the unique challenges for regional,
rural and remote freight operators
in achieving net zero. By working
directly with industry, we will be
able to support them in accessing
this innovative technology and
ensure regional operators can
access the benefits of the transition,”
NSW regional transport and roads
minister Jenny Aitchison says.

South Western Logistics
on a journey of growth

South Western Logistics
managing director Luke Mullins

Entering its fourth year of operation, everything seems to be getting
bigger and better for Sydney’s South Western Logistics
Up and coming logistics solutions
provider South Western Logistics is
taking just about every opportunity it
can to grow.
Founded in 2019 and operating
out of its 7000sqm warehouse in

Prestons, Sydney, the company has
expanded off the back off hard work
and by ceasing on opportunities
when they arose.
From its start, where it was just
managing director Luke Mullins

calling local depots to find space for
the warehouse, to now, its evolution
has been a process he calls an
‘explosion’.
Three additional staff quickly
became nearly 50, along with a fleet
of 23 predominantly Scania trucks
and five hire trucks, with another
order of 30 on the way across the
next two years, and a wide array of
forklifts.
2020 was the major turning point,
even in the early days of the business.
“I’m not sure if you recall this little
thing called COVID,” Mullins tells ATN.
“My first two trucks, I put them on
order in November 2019, and the
warehouse started to fill up with
freight. I kept getting requested and
asked if we do trucking.
“By the time they came on March
1, 2020, COVID had just reached the
newspapers. The first two trucks
arrived, grain deliveries kicked us

Feature

off a bit, and then COVID exploded
everywhere and so did the demand
for product and services.
“It went overnight from three other
people working for me, that being
another forklift driver and two truck
drivers, to putting in an order for
another four trucks, an allocator and
another warehouse supervisor.”
Self-professed as “quite young for
being the managing director of a
company”, Mullins’ ambitions have
paid off rapidly.
Now working with nearly 200
customers across its services in
transport, container storage and
packing/unpacking, warehousing
and biosecurity, the investment into
new equipment and expansion has
only seen the company continue to
grow.
Operating primarily in jobs for
consumables such as food, paper
and pharmaceuticals, the expansion
of the fleet in a time of uncertainty
now has South Western well placed
within the industry.
“Everyone was selling equipment,
everyone thought the world was
ending,” Mullins says.
“I went out and bought a lot of
equipment for dirt cheap, I picked up
some very helpful stuff around the
way.
“Consumables are high volume.
They’re thinner margins but they
allow consistency of growth.
Pharmaceuticals and foods are
consumable, everyone needs them.”
Mullins says that the foundation
and growth of the company would
not have been possible without his
“right hand man”, Andrew Littlewood.
Acting as the depot manager,
Littlewood admits that he thought
joining South Western would be

his “retirement village”, as he began
to wind down from a 25-year long
career in the transport industry.
Instead, he has gone from being
involved in more of the corporate
side of the industry to being on the
ground floor in day-to-day operations
of the depot.
And while there’s been challenges
that have come with that, Littlewood
says that experience has held him in
good stead for the three years so far.
“We only had a couple of trucks
when I started at South Western and I
thought, oh this will be nice. Then we
exploded,” Littlewood tells ATN.
“Coming to a smaller depot, you
have to wear a hundred different hats.
It’s a bit of a learning curve.
“What I took out of being with the
majors is structurally, putting the
right people into place. The safety
and compliance piece that goes
with trucks, that’s been the biggest
challenge.
“We’ve taken the good from what
the big players do and implemented
it on a smaller scale. It’s been just as
challenging.
“We still have to play by the same

rules, so we’ve put the right people in
place, but it’s been a slow process. We
continue to grow and we’ve still got
more to go.”
That next phase of growth, Mullins
says, is making the jump from being
from being a smaller operator to
optimising a large team and business.
As South Western continues to grow,
adding more staff, trucks, forklifts
and possibly even discussing plans
of interstate expansion, the right
systems need to be in place to ensure
the smoothest process possible.
“What we’re trying to implement
at the moment within the team is
more structure and systems and
optimising everything,” Mullins says.
“When one person steps away,
another person steps in. It doesn’t
work for all roles, but for the majority
when the operation runs, that makes
it practical. That’s how you expand.
“Moving along the east coast is the
five-to-10-year plan. I’m systemising
everything from transport to
unpacks to the warehouse, all of our
services.
“I’m a very big believer in systems
creating service.”

Rest stop dilemmas
ATN speaks to a truckie with 35 years of experience, as she recounts her
struggles with female accessibility at vehicle rest areas. Alex Catalano writes.
For all the advancements in
technology and equipment in the
trucking industry, many say there
are still simple things that need
addressing.
Long a male-dominated industry,
there has been a steady change
across recent years. A Bureau of
Infrastructure report estimated that
77 per cent of transport workers
were male in 2016, with not much
movement since then.
Efforts are being made to change
this. Major companies are offering
transport scholarships for women,
advocacy groups are being created
and training courses are seeing a
significantly higher uptick in female
enrolment.
But one veteran driver says simple
amenities for women like toilets at
rest stops are still being ignored.
Tara has been on the road for

almost 35 years, doing interstate
drives between Melbourne and
Adelaide and all across Australia.
These days, she’s semi-retired, but
still does changeovers at Nhill.
Self-described as “old school” but
“starting to slow down a bit”, Tara is as
experienced and weathered as any
driver across Australia.
“I’ll put it like this. Nhill Highway
was actually a highway with a single
lane each way when I started,” she
told ATN.
But her “pet peeve” has been a lack
of accessibility for women at vehicle
rest areas.
Across her years, Tara says she
has encountered several difficulties
when the facilities aren’t available to
her and other female drivers.
“My big thing is facilities are built
but there’s nothing available for
women,” she says.

“There’s more and more women
getting into the industry, a lot more
than when I started. They opened the
Nhill trailer exchange, but there were
no women’s toilets.
“There was a disabled and a whole
heap of men’s toilets and that was it.
I jumped up and down. Half the time
you can’t use the disabled toilets
because it’s either blocked up or
there’s a man in it.
“On several occasions, I’ve been
there for three and a half hours, and
someone has locked the door to the
toilet and you can’t get into it.”
These aren’t just concerns from
Tara alone. Many female drivers
and workers within the transport
industry share these sentiments.
As recently as July this year,
supply chain consultancy TMX
Global published an industry study
focusing on female perception of

Feature
Much noise has been made about
improving the country’s truck stops,
but drivers are yet to see much
progress on the highways

truck rest stops. It found that many
women do not stop at rest areas if
they don’t feel safe, with accessible
amenities playing a major part in
that response.
Other factors found in the study
such as poor lighting, unenclosed
shower facilities, a lack of security
and the risk of vandalism to vehicles
prevent them from stopping at or
using existing rest stops.
Most survey respondents, which
included both male and female
drivers, say they primarily stop at
rest areas due to fatigue and to use
the bathroom.
It’s issues like these, Tara says, that
are preventing more women from
taking up jobs within the transport
industry.
“The women truck drivers, they’re
out there to do a job,” she says.
“They don’t expect any special
treatment at all. They just expect a
bit of courtesy and a bit of respect.
“I do think issues like these make it

harder for them. I know that there are
women that are having these issues,
and I do come across them. Why
should I have to go against the men, at
this point?
“The Nhill trailer exchange, it is
busy. I have to make sure no one’s
around so I can go and use the toilet.
“They moved the changeover bay
out of town because the trucks are
too noisy. That’s fair enough. I have no
problem with that.
“What I do have a problem with is
that if I have to go into town, I have
to leave my truck behind me in the
middle of the street. No resident
wants that.”
The location of rest areas has been
another issue raised by truckies.
The federal government
announced the Heavy Vehicle
Rest Area Initiative (HVRAI) in July,
encouraging truckies to have their
say.
It committed more than $140
million over 10 years for the

construction of new and upgraded
rest areas, headed by senator Glenn
Sterle.
Submissions have been welcomed
for the implementation of new rest
areas as well as any issues with the
condition of current rest areas.
In New South Wales, there was
overwhelming feedback around
the amount of rest stops, with 65 per
cent of participants in a Transport
NSW report also describing the rest
areas as either ‘poor’ or ‘very poor’ in
quality.
While there will soon be a new
heavy vehicle rest area in Western
Sydney, truckies like Tara feel like
there are many areas that have still
been overlooked.
“I’ve been to most places, I’ve been
all over Australia, just about, driving,”
she says.
“Everything needs a bit of
maintenance. We just want to do our
jobs. I don’t think that’s too much to
ask.”

Healthy heads
Big names in transport have jumped on board to
offer training for mental health
As R U OK? Day has passed for
another year, it’s important to
remember that checking in with
your own or other’s mental health
isn’t just a one day event.
Consistent conversations are
imperative to the health and
wellbeing of an individual, and
knowing how to recognise when
someone needs help could be
lifesaving.
A national collaboration earlier this
year saw a fresh focus on improving
the mental health of the Australian
transport, logistics and supply chain
industry.
Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds
(HHTS), Steering Healthy Minds
(SHM), Toll Group and TrackSAFE
Foundation teamed up to tackle
the mental health crisis facing the
industry through targeted, early
intervention mental health training.
Jo Kitney, managing director of
SHM, says there are unique mental
health challenges facing the transport
industry due to the nature of the work
involved.
“Often, workers are isolated for long
periods, exhibit lower physical health
and are over exposed to accidents on

the roads. As a result, there is a higher
incidence of mental stress,” Kitney
says.
In Australia, research at Monash
University suggests the transport
and logistics sector has higher rates
of suicide, and incidences of mental
illness and psychological distress.
“The demographics seen in the
transport industry can also be a
compounding factor as the average
transport worker is middle aged and
male, making them less likely to be
open about mental health,” Kitney
says.
Partnering with Mental Health First
Aid Australia (MHFA), the training
reflects the unique and diverse
workforce and mental health-related
challenges across the expansive
industry.
The practical, skills-based
education program equips adults
in the workplace with the skills and
confidence needed to recognise and
respond to a co-worker or another
adult experiencing a mental health
problem or crisis.
Individual participation is generally
voluntary depending on the size of
the organisation.

Since its inception and success,
other transport workplaces have
embedded MHFA training into their
organisation to create a culture of care
across their workplace.
V/Line, Transport for NSW, Aurizon,
Henning Harders, Port of Brisbane and
Rail Projects Victoria are among some
of the organisations adopting this
forward-thinking training.
Aurizon surveyed staff who had
completed Mental Health First
Aid training, revealing there was
an increased confidence to help
someone in need and start a mental
health first aid conversation.
Participants even indicated they
had also supported family, friends and
other people in the community with
their newfound skills.
MHFA says after completion of the
course, participants will be able to
recognise the signs and symptoms
of mental health problems in adults,
use an evidence-based action plan
to initiate a mental health first aid
conversation and assess for a range
of crisis situations and provide initial
support.

Hitting the ton

Noel Lane picks up his new R-Series Scania
– the 100th truck he’s added to the fleet

Lane Transport’s Noel Lane started out with a Ford LTL-9000 in 1989. Now he’s up to truck
number 100, the latest addition a new extended cab R-Series Scania. Tiarna Condren writes.
When you first hear a truck roaring
up for a run, it’s hard to not get excited.
Everyone can remember a time
when they held out their arm and did
the infamous pull-down move, urging
the driver to blast the horn. They tend
to not forget these moments.

For Noel Lane however, there are
way too many of those moments to
think of.
Calling Noel up, I shouldn’t have
been surprised to find out he was
answering from a truck. With a hum
in the background, he revealed that

growing up at his family’s potato farm
in Killarney, western Victoria, he was
constantly surrounded by trucks.
“We were constantly around
transport all the time. We were
around trucks. They were
everywhere,” he says.
When he finally started driving
them, it was to cart potatoes from the
wider Western District of Victoria
as well as loading from the potato
growing centre of Hillston in NSW.
When reflecting on the time he
says, “we definitely learnt about
having a pretty good work ethic”.
“We were also milking cows. It was
seven days of work every week.”
However tiring, Lane says he
always wanted to get into transport.
Founding Lane Transport in 1989,
he saw an opportunity to provide
exceptional customer service within
the interstate freight industry.
Starting with only one truck,
Lane’s first fleet addition was a Ford
LTL-9000.
A competitor to the GMC General,

Feature

Kenworth W900, Mack Super-Liner
and Peterbilt 359, the vehicle was
fitted with a set-forward front axle
and a longer hood than previous
versions.
Since then, Lane Transport has
evolved into a successful business
with a continually growing large
fleet of late model European and
American trucks transporting
bulk loads and general freight
throughout Australia.
“Over the years I’ve always had
Fords, Cascadias and Mercedes.
Their trucks are always good and
honest,” he says.
“Over the last five to six years I’ve
started introducing Scania into the
fleet.
“The drivers love to drive them
and the maintenance programs are
really good.”
Celebrating its 100th fleet addition
this month, Lane Transport

received one of the first Scania
extended cab R-series.
With 35 active vehicles traversing
Australia currently, carting
packaged general freight mostly
in B-double configuration, the new
Scania joins the mixed fleet and will
run Melbourne-Adelaide-Millicent
five times per fortnight, clocking up
around 200,000km annually.
Named after Noel’s granddaughter Jayla Rose, the truck is
powered by a 660hp (492kW) V8
engine and finished in a striking
shade of Scania Blue Sapphire
metallic and boasts bold V8 decals.
In addition, the larger extended
cab provides Lane Transport
drivers with a more comfortable
environment for life on the road

Noel gets behind the wheel
of the 660hp Scania

due toits high ceiling and extra cab
length.
In addition, Noel’s new truck comes
standard with side curtain rollover
protection airbags for the driver and
passenger, a steering wheel airbag,
advanced emergency braking, lane
departure warning and adaptive
cruise control as standard.
“We always wanted the 100th truck
to be special and to keep it for a long
time. They fiddled around with the
gold and did it perfectly,” he says.
After receiving the keys, Noel
immediately climbed in behind the
wheel and took it up to Brisbane with
its first load.
“I am still happy to jump in and do
my share of driving, and then you
know what your drivers have got to
put up with,” he says.
“It’s good for management to see
and keep up to date with everything
at the sites.”

New Ampol blend on trial
Ampol has turned to major construction supplier Hanson to
forge forward with a new renewable diesel trial
Ampol has announced it will conduct
a renewable diesel trial, with
construction and building material
supplier Hanson Australia confirmed
as its first customer partner.
The trial will allow Ampol to get
a practical understanding of the
customer demand and market
feasibility of renewable diesel in
Australia.
Ampol will supply Hanson with
a blend consisting of 20 per cent
renewable diesel and 80 per cent
ultra-low sulphur diesel in addition to
its Ampol Amplify additives.
The announcement of the
renewable diesel trial follows Ampol’s
recent partnership with Japan’s

largest oil company, ENEOS, to
explore the production of renewable
fuels at the Lytton refinery.
Ampol executive general
manager of international and new
business Brent Merrick says the
trial strengthens Ampol’s position
as a leading supplier of world-class
quality fuels.
“Ampol is proud of the role it plays
in supporting our customers. We are
acutely aware that our customers’
transport energy priorities are
shifting and that partnering with
industry leaders such as Hanson
is vital in ensuring we continue to
evolve,” Merrick says.
“This renewable diesel trial is

NHVR launches defect portal
The NHVR has released a new platform that will help
operators stay on top of any defect notices
A newly released portal by the National
Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) will
ensure all operators will now be able to
view defects issued to their entire fleet
online.
The NHVR Portal – Compliance Module
provides operators with a comprehensive
overview of defect notices, enabling
more effective tracking and timely
management of defects.
Operators will also be able to better
identify any defect trends to help reduce
the number of defects issued and make
the roads safer for all.

NHVR CEO Sal Petroccitto says the
launch of the new module reflects the
regulator’s commitment to exploring
innovative ways to make it easier and
safer for the heavy vehicle industry to
conduct business.
“Improving productivity and safety is
a key objective of the NHVR and this
new module helps achieve this, through
timely and simplified access to important
compliance related information,”
Petroccitto says.
“Currently, operators face challenges
with timely notifications of defects, which

another step in our development
of a renewable fuels business in
Australia.
“The availability of renewable
diesel, particularly for hard-toabate areas, is of particular interest
as it does not require vast fleet or
infrastructural changes.
“Renewable diesel has an
important role to play in the energy
transition. We would like to thank
Hanson for committing to this
journey with Ampol.”
Hanson is a leader in building
and construction materials with an
extensive production and logistics
network across Australia.
“This trial furthers Hanson’s
commitment to CO2 reduction across
the supply chain, with innovation
being the key to our roadmap,”
Hanson Australia chief executive
Phil Schacht says.
The trial starts in October and
will continue for approximately two
months, with an evaluation process
to be executed prior to exploring a
wider roll out to Ampol’s broader
customer base.

affects fleet management.
“By providing a centralised platform
to view the defect history of the entire
fleet, operators can identify trends and
address issues promptly to enhance the
maintenance of their fleet.
“This will in turn reduce the number
of defects issued to operators and
contribute to improved vehicle standards
within the heavy vehicle industry.”
The NHVR says it is committed to
leveraging technology to boost safety,
promote productivity and increase heavy
vehicle standards, ultimately benefiting
everyone on the roads.
All operators can access the new
module through their existing account.

Eye-popping new HQ for Eurocold
Refrigerated truck company Eurocold has expanded further with the
announcement of its latest local site
Australian refrigerated truck
solutions company Eurocold has
begun working on a new facility in
the City of Logan as part of the
national expansion of the company.
It will increase Eurocold’s
floorspace from 1,200sqm to
8,677sqm (approximately a 620 per
cent increase) and complements
the launch of Eurocold’s division in
Western Sydney in April, Melbourne
in November and plans to be in Perth
and New Zealand this financial year.
The project is being overseen by
ESR. Not only will it allow Eurocold
to expand its manufacturing and
assembly capabilities, but also to
do it in a sustainable way, with solar
power, electric charging stations and
other sustainability practices.
It will create 45 full-time jobs in
the City of Logan expanding current
headcount by 22 that will move
across from Eurocold’s current
assembly site in Wynnum.
The creation of the new facility
is in line with the roll out of Revora
– Eurocold’s electric truck brand
launched in March. The first Revora
electric refrigerated truck will be

delivered in the fourth quarter of
2023.
Revora will utilise cutting edge
technology developed with Carrier
and chassis suppliers to ensure more
efficient practices in refrigerated
transport. Eurocold says it will reduce
carbon emissions through all-electric
powered vehicles and refrigeration
cabinets while also reducing waste
through the course of delivery to end
customers.
Managing Director of Eurocold and
Revora, Avraam Solomon, says the
Berrinba facility future proofs the
company for expansion.
“We have a bold plan to take the
number of Eurocold vehicles on the
road from the current 200 to nearly
2000 by the end of 2029,” Solomon
says.
“We’re committed to a significant
investment into the refrigerated
trucking industry over the next three
years.
“This will see our footprint increase
across Australia and into New
Zealand – we hope to have all of our
new facilities signed and operational
within 12 months.

“This plan includes the launch
of Revora, which has created an
incredible amount of interest
throughout the industry. We’ll be
providing sustainable, electrified
delivery solutions at multiple sizes
from small utility type vehicles right
through to larger, rigid units.
“Our developer partners at ESR
are assisting us with the move to
a carbon free future through the
technology being implemented and
their company is built on a shared
vision of building for a sustainable
future in the new economy.”
ESR Australia’s General Manager
Development of Queensland Craig
Robertson says: “ESR welcomes
Eurocold to Berrinba Industrial Estate
and their signing marks a significant
milestone for the Estate, closing out
the first two stages.
“The ESR Australia team will work
closely with Eurocold as we close out
construction and then through active
management to ensure the space
caters to all their operational needs as
they upscale operations.”
The Berrinba factory is expected to
be in operation by March 2024.

Record ship arrival
The CMA CGM Pelleas has made history after visiting the Port of Melbourne
History has been made at the Port of
Melbourne, as the port and the
Victoria International Container
Terminal (VICT) recently welcomed
container vessel CMA CGM Pelleas
on her maiden call to the port.
The ship’s arrival has set a record,
becoming the longest ship ever to
call at the Port of Melbourne.
The 10,028 TEU vessel has an
overall length of 350m and a beam
of 43m, with the ship set to proceed
to Brisbane after its Melbourne visit.
Port of Melbourne CEO Saul
Cannon has welcomed the arrival
of CMA CGM Pelleas and says it’s
an indicator of the future fleet
anticipated to operate in the port.
“The arrival of CMA CGM Pelleas
is an exciting milestone and is an
insight to future Port operations.
Innovation and investment in
strategic infrastructure assets have
demonstrated our commitment
to sustainability objectives and a

vision for the future,” Cannon says.
The Port of Melbourne has
undertaken an extensive vessel
simulation program supported
by Ports Victoria, towage and the
pilotage services providers.
Cannon says this successful
arrival of the vessel results
from timely engagement and
collaboration between the key
stakeholders to effectively analyse
and validate future operations and
maximise the built assets.
“Port of Melbourne considers not
only the long-term operations of
the port, but how port users and
industry will need to work together
to achieve positive outcomes for all
stakeholders,” Cannon says.
CMA CGM managing director
Shane Walden says it’ll continue
working closely with its partners to
offer a reliable and sustainable liner
service to its customer network.
“The deployment of the CMA

CGM Pelleas on our A3C service
represents an ongoing commitment
to the trade between Australia and
Asia,” Walden says.
“Our partners in the Port of
Melbourne have been extremely
supportive to ensure the smooth
operatƒions of this vessel.”
VICT CEO Bruno Porchietto says
he’s proud to welcome the Pelleas
as the largest vessel to arrive in
Melbourne.
“The arrival of super-sized vessels
is likely to become more common,
following a global trend by shipping
companies toward the use of larger
ships, which are more efficient due to
their carrying capacity,” Porchietto
says.
Port of Melbourne’s Head of
Marine Operations, Captain Arun
Rampal, presented a plaque to
the Master to commemorate the
vessel’s inaugural call to the Port of
Melbourne.

The Truckstar Festival in the Netherlands is not only the biggest truck event
of its kind in Europe, it’s known as the continent’s most “fun festival”
Words & Images | Warren Aitken
87

J
One thing that doesn’t
change the world over is
the amount of passionate
‘truckarazzi’. These were just
the official ones; thousands
more were spotted over the
course of the weekend

The line-up for the first heats
of the annual Decibel Contest

n order to do this story justice, I went
searching for the most appropriate
descriptive words I could find.
Remarkable, astounding, incredible,
awesome, mind-blowing, impressive,
fantastic, tremendous, pre-eminent and
unsurpassed. All these words are emotive
and powerful in their own right. All of
them can conjure a sense of amazement
and wonder. However, individually none
of them hold the gravitas required to get
my point across.

This was my first journey into Europe
and subsequently my first journey to the
Truckstar Festival. The entire experience
requires words that summarise how
unbelievably cool the trip was, how
monstrously mind-blowing the festival was,
and how fantastically friendly the truck fans
were. Hence, I used my thesaurus to find the

most accurate descriptive words I could.
With so much to say, it’s hard to know where
to begin. I can honestly say this was one of the
best shows – sorry … festivals – I have ever been
to. Sure, it was a long trek to get there. All up I
think I had about 21 hours up in the air. If you
are at the fancy end of the plane it may be no
issue, but for guys my size, down in cattle class,
21 hours is a pretty hefty effort. Even with that
and knowing I would have the same on the
way home, it was worth it.
The Truckstar Festival was like nothing I
have ever experienced. Whether you are a
fan of the Euro gear or not, these guys take
customising and cleaning to a whole new level.
And do you remember the old adage, ‘It’s not
about quantity, it's about quality’? Well, the
Truckstar Festival blows that out of the water
because it’s packed with quality and quantity. I
mean it’s seriously packed with quantity.

DEALS on Show

Let's start there.
There were 2300 trucks at the Truckstar
Festival. For the record that’s actually the cutoff as well. It’s not like they ran out of trucks
to put in. The 2300 trucks is the maximum
number they can fit in the grounds. That
equates to 1500 around the track, a couple of
hundred in the competition area, and several
hundred more in the oldies section, the
American section, the heavy haulage section,
the tow truck section and a couple of other
sections I didn’t even get a chance to see.

The top three in the bobtail
section lined up on the front
straight. But the important
part is behind them where
thousands fill the stands for
prizegiving on the Sunday

Growth story
The show began back in 1980, the same year
that Dutch publishers Sanoma Media printed
their first issue of Truckstar magazine. With
the success of the publication, they decided
to run a little truck show to help promote the
new mag.
That first show was held at an exhibition
hall and featured less than 100 trucks. By
year two however, there was huge interest in
Truckstar magazine and subsequently the
Truckstar Festival, meaning the exhibition
hall would not be near big enough. Instead,

the show was moved to the famous F1 track
in Zandvoort. This was the real beginning
of the juggernaut that has become the
Truckstar Festival.
By 1992 even the Zandvoort F1 track was
being stretched to its limits and the show
moved to its current home, the worldfamous Assen TT circuit. The 4.5km track
at Assen has played host to such famous
names as Valentino Rossi and Casey Stoner.
It was even the location of Jack Miller’s first
MotoGP win. Lunatics on two wheels aside,
for the last 30 years the TT circuit gets shut
down for a week, the track gets coated in
sand and the world-class facility hosts the
biggest truck festival in Europe, attracting
over 50,000 people through the gates to eat,
drink, party and drink.
Along with a plethora of pimped-out
trucks, there are concerts, activities, light
shows and bucketloads of booze on hand.
It is a truck event like you have never
experienced.
Before we start talking about the race
trucks and the car football, let’s just explain
the truck show side of the festival. The

competitive aspect takes place in the main
area of the TT circuit. There are two separate
competitions going on over the festival.
Firstly, there are trucks from all around
Europe that have applied to compete in
categories like Best Paint, Best Interior and
other categories. Those show trucks apply
to enter the competition months in advance,
submitting photos and information to
Truckstar magazine. The Truckstar team
then whittles the numbers down to the
amount they can squeeze in.
The second competition is open solely to
Dutch trucks and has the top 24 battling it
out for the title of the ‘Most Beautiful Truck
of the Netherlands’. Battling it out is probably
the wrong turn of phrase, but ‘buffing it out’ or
‘cleaning it out’ just didn’t have the same ring
to it.
Getting your truck into the Netherlands Top
Truck Competition is done a little differently
to what we see over here. The finalists for
this competition are selected by readers of
Truckstar magazine. At the start of each year,
Truckstar releases a special edition where
Dutch drivers and owners can submit a photo
of their truck, along with all the relevant

information. The trucks are catalogued in one
of eight categories. Geconditioneerd Vervoer,
Huif/gesloten veroer, Open Voertuigen,
Zeecontainertransport, Losgestort Vervoer,
Bulk and tanktransport, Speciale voertuigen
and Losse trekkers. For those who don’t speak
Dutch it’s basically fridge vans, tautliners/
pan, flat tops, containers, bulk, tankers, heavy
haulage and prime movers. It’s just more fun
to say in Dutch.
All the submitted photos are printed in
a special issue, with each issue having an
assigned code. This means whoever buys the
magazine then votes on the trucks they like.
A couple of months out from the show the
votes are tallied up and the top three in each
category are notified and invited to display
at the festival. There they are judged and on
Sunday the pecking order is announced –
first, second and third. The eight category
winners are then lined up and out of those the
overall winner gets announced.
All the trucks are working trucks, obviously
on much better roads than ours, but working
nonetheless. Having a heads-up in advance
allows a lot of these guys to spend the weeks
before the show detailing their trucks and

Europe’s best
Even with the limited numbers involved in
the competition, it Is a mammoth effort for
the five judges. That includes reigning down
judgment on not just the Netherlands' top
24 trucks, but also finding time to pick out
winners among the best Europe has to offer.
The quality of every single truck in the
judging area was second to none. The
attention to detail in both the paintwork and
the preparation was on a level that tired me
out just looking at it. Sound systems that
would rival a small nightclub, paint so glossy
the finish would mirror an actual mirror,
and light setups that should come with an
epilepsy warning and a set of polarising
sunglasses. Whether you are a fan of
European trucks or not, you couldn’t help but
be blown away.
Skipping over just how difficult it must have
been for the judges I would love to quickly fill
you in on the awards and prize giving.
Once again, I have never seen anything like
it. The front straight of the Assen TT circuit
hosts the prize giving and the front straight
stand is absolutely packed. Thousands of
people turn up and watch as the top three
from each category line up, with the MC
waving the winner forward to thunderous
applause. Then the eight category winners
are announced and lined up. The atmosphere

is electric and rivals that of a Hollywood
awards gala.
When the winner was announced there
was cheering, tears and mass applause. You
could not help but be carried away by the
wave of enthusiasm. Once again, it was an
eye-opening experience. This leads me to a
run down on the festival side of things.
At the end of 2022 when I first thought about
heading to the Truckstar festival I spoke to the
legendary Bruce Hay from Drake Collectibles.
Bruce had attended in 2022 and raved about
it, telling me in no uncertain terms I would
not get to see everything, no hope. Obviously
being full of my own machismo I took that
as a challenge. Of course I will get around
everything, I love walking and it's just a truck
show. Well, I can tip my hat to Bruce, I didn’t
make it.
Here's the thing. The 1500 trucks parked
around the truck would keep any truck nut
preoccupied for days if not weeks. The drivers
of those trucks aren’t there to win prizes,
they are there to kick back and have fun. I
was three times over the legal limit before I
got 100m down the track. Everybody wants
to talk; everybody is offering you a drink.
There are containers turned into pools, there
are old trucks turned into bars, there are
fridge trailers turned into giant eskies and
cordoned off sleeping quarters. On one side
of the track there’s a DJ cranking ‘doof doof’
music while drunk truckies ‘dance like no
one is watching’. Three trucks down on the

While my notebook with names seems to have gotten lost in
the post on the way back from The Netherlands, I still have
the photos, including this lovely couple that handed me
my first beer as I ventured into the ‘Classic’ section of the
Festival. Check out their beautifully restored 141 Scania

length of the racetrack never let up. You will

You go a little further around the track and
you will find parents sharing drinks while the
kids are running around having a giant foam
fight. If you escape that intact, by the time
you get another few trucks down the track
you find yourself having to look up and see
a bunch of guys sitting on a couch that their
truck crane has lifted some 10 metres in the
air, making great use of their super-soakers
from the high ground.
Party time
I was walking for a couple of hours, went
through two camera batteries and damn
near filled a 64GB card up. While the alcohol
consumption would easily rival the top of the
mountain at Bathurst, the atmosphere was
always light and joyous. I met hundreds of
people and understood about 1/100th of what
they were saying, but it was unbelievably fun.
Like the show itself, I have barely managed
to scratch the surface and all my posturing
will pale in comparison to the event itself.
The Truckstar team has been finetuning
this event for years and can now just tweak
things here and there as they relish the event
they have created. It is extremely familyorientated throughout the day with plenty
of playgrounds and activities for the kids. At
night there are light shows galore, from the
show trucks to trackside parties. There is

also a fairground with side shows and rides
that run until late and Saturday night saw
a massive concert with around five bands
keeping the crowds entertained and dancing.
If you need a break from the overwhelming
awesomeness of the show during the day,
there was entertainment galore down the
front straight. From the high-speed antics of
the racing trucks to lunatics in crappy cars
playing car soccer.
Best of all was the annual ‘Decibel
Competition’. They may still have all the
emissions laws that we have to endure as
well, but the truckies over there put a lot of
effort into making sure their V8s sound as
tough as possible. I am still investigating this
year's winner but last year it was a V8 Scania
registering 128db. That puts it louder than a jet
plane, slightly less than a gunshot and about
on par with a jackhammer.
I could go on for days with more info
from this incredible show, there is just so
much to say. Instead, I will let you go and
enjoy the photos. I will however wrap it
all up by imploring anyone with a passion
for truck shows, with a love of trucks and
an appreciation for craftsmanship as well
as anyone with a healthy appetite for the
unhealthy and desire for the drink, to make
the effort to see this festival.
I will definitely be going back, so pack your
bags, your walking shoes, and plenty of
camera batteries. Truckstar Festival is out of
this world.

Super
MACK

With a massive 70-inch sleeper this
Mack Super-Liner offers a glimpse of what’s to come
for fans of the mighty bulldog brand in Australia
Words | Steve Brooks
101

n the face of it, it’s just the story of a
Super-Liner with a super-sized sleeper.
But there’s more to it. Heaps more, and
the simple fact is that the introduction
a few years back of Mack Anthem was
always destined to be a big thing for the
flagship Super-Liner. Even more to the
point, Super-Liner needed Anthem, big
time, and here’s why.

The Super-Liner and fully
integrated 70-inch bunk
was a big hit at this year’s
Brisbane Truck Show.

102

For starters, Super-Liner is a uniquely
Australian product with no US counterpart.
In fact, there’s nothing even remotely like it
on the other side of the pond and as Mack’s
local litter likes to bark loud and proud,
Super-Liner is ‘built here, for here’.
Fair enough, but in a world ruled like
never before by commercial constraints
and corporate rationalisation, the
economic justification for expensive local
developments in relatively low volume
markets such as ours is invariably on shaky
ground. When it comes to cabs, for instance,
the viability of significantly reshaping Mack’s
long-serving, all-steel shed to make it bigger
and better equipped for Australia alone
would be fanciful at best.
Enter Anthem! Sure, it too is built here
on the same Wacol (Qld) production line
as Super-Liner and its siblings but have
no doubt, it’s a truck which was first and
foremost designed in North America,
for North America, and specifically the
American linehaul market. And that’s
exactly the reason why, long before its official

US launch in 2018 and subsequent Australian
debut in 2021, bulldog boffins within Volvo
Group Australia (VGA) were keen as hounds
on the hunt to integrate Anthem assets into
Super-Liner’s structure. Anthem’s advanced
electrical architecture would, for example,
provide access to the latest drivetrain
developments, effectively allowing Mack to
catch up with colleagues and competitors
alike.
Likewise, the prospect of offering SuperLiner with a stand-up cab coupled to a
range of fully integrated, factory-built
sleeper options had Mack insiders almost
drooling with anticipation, and perhaps
none salivating more than Dean Bestwick,
the former head of Mack Trucks Australia,
and his successor, Mack vice-president Tom
Chapman.
Historically, Mack Australia has been largely
free to do its own thing in the development of
models for this country’s conditions. Trucks
like Titan, Super-Liner, Trident and MetroLiner are unique to Australia and thus, blatant
proof of the level of local autonomy which
endured for many decades. However, as a
blunt Bestwick (now in a senior position with
Mack in the US) asserted some years back,
“The numbers, the economics, just don’t stack
up anymore. The world has changed.
“We need more from America and Anthem
provides the things we want. Simple as that.”
More precisely, Super-Liner and its siblings
were aging fast. Simple as that.

New DEALS

Like a mini apartment, space and
comfort are supreme in the 70 inch

Wacol (Qld) production line next year

Anthem opened the door to America like
never before, drawing a new line in the sand
for Mack both here and in its US homeland.
Evolutionary more than revolutionary, yet
sporting external styling unlike anything in
the world, it was in every way a milestone
model marking that point where the status
quo was refashioned, reformed and roundly
rejuvenated in a bold bid to dramatically
broaden Mack’s horizons.
In the US, with Anthem boasting a standup cab and fully integrated 70-inch sleeper
for the first time, plus a swathe of desperately
needed developments including
advanced wiring and electronics systems,
greater emphasis on driver comfort and
convenience, and the standard inclusion
of the Bendix Wingman stability control
package, Mack was effectively launching
itself back into North America’s long distance
highway business. Or at least, back into the
brawl for a bigger bite of the bone.
Locally though, it surprised nobody that
among the long list of Anthem attributes
being closely eyeballed for our market
was a reconfigured version of an aging cab
structure which allowed a tall driver of
1.8 metres and more (six feet-plus) to stand
upright from the driver’s seat and access a
large, well-equipped sleeper section.
“Anthem will give us a massive boost,”
said Dean Bestwick during an impromptu
interview in the spacious surrounds of a
high-rise Anthem cab and 70-inch sleeper
during the 2019 Mid-America Truck Show
in Louisville, Kentucky. For Bestwick and
his bulldog brethren, the possibilities
were palpable and there’s little doubt that
even back then, the prospect of adapting
Anthem’s stand-up cab and premier sleeper
to Super-Liner was square in their sights.
Crucially, it’s worth noting that Dean
Bestwick and Tom Chapman weren’t the
only Australians closely eyeing Anthem
and its biggest bunk. Another visitor to MidAmerica in 2019 was VGA senior product
manager Scott Simpson who would have
a major hand in Anthem’s testing and
validation for the Australian market.
Calm and thoughtful, it was nonetheless a
candid Simpson who confidently remarked,
“There’s a lot to like and from what I’ve seen,
there are no glaring issues in durability

Big Bunk. Indeed!

terms. The gusseting they’ve done to
strengthen the cab for the higher roofline
seems really strong … we already know this
is a durable cab and with Anthem there are a
lot of improvements in a lot of areas.
“I’d say they’ve done a really good job with
it.” High praise from a man with a natural
propensity for cautious commentary.
Yet even back then it was apparent that
while the stand-up cab would be appealing
to many, the 70-inch sleeper would be
simply too long for Anthem’s target markets
in Australia, namely heavy rigid, single
trailer and B-double duties.
On the other hand, the combination of a
high-rise cab and fully integrated mega-bunk

would almost certainly add a powerful string
to Super-Liner’s bow for heavy haulage,
roadtrain roles and the like. Indeed, one
of the biggest attractions – literally and
physically – at the Brisbane Truck Show
earlier this year was the first Super-Liner
with the stand-up cab and sprawling 70-inch
sleeper.
So, it’ll surprise no one to learn that the
offer to take the same outfit on an 1100km
round-trip between Mt Isa and Hughenden
with an AB-triple in tow didn’t need to be
made twice. Besides, after several years since
our last stint in a Super-Liner, there was more
to experience than just a night sleeping in a
bigger bunk.

New DEALS

Power and space
Big bunks aren’t new to Mack, but nor are little
bunks and in Super-Liner’s case the choice is
wider than ever.
For more length-conscious roles like
B-doubles, there’s a low-line 28-inch sleeper
and since Anthem’s arrival, a 36-inch highrise bunk integrated with the stand-up cab.
More traditional are homegrown 58-inch
and 64-inch sleepers in mid-rise and hi-rise
form built by Joe Bradley Fibreglass in the
Brisbane suburb of Strathpine. However,
for the past seven years or so, and with an
obvious eye on bringing as much business
in-house as possible, Mack has also offered
a tall 60-inch berth derived from a premium
Mack linehaul sleeper from the US.
In fact, in 2016 we drove the first SuperLiner fitted with the high-rise 60-inch
bunk on its maiden run, overnighting at
Charleville during an exercise in western
Queensland which even then exposed the
need for a taller cab to partner the taller
sleeper. As our subsequent report stated,
‘There’s no question that even at first glance,
Mack’s new 60-inch sleeper is quick to

impress. Sure, you still have the issue of no
standing room between the seats but with
this bunk it’s only one stooped step from the
driver’s pew to a place where even big blokes
have the space to stand bolt upright, stretch
out, get changed, lay down, hang clothes,
get something cool out of the fridge, and
generally unwind after hours at the wheel.
‘A word of warning though: take care when
moving from the bunk to the cab. There’s a
huge height difference and in the “wee” hours
when Nature’s call interrupts deep sleep, it’s
easy to knock the noggin on the rear edge of
the cab roof; and knock it hard when you’re
blurry-eyed and in a hurry.’
Bearing the bruise, the simple conclusion
was, ‘The Mack cab is, in fact, starting to show
its age with the complete absence of a standup option to complement the several tall
sleepers already offered by the brand’.
Now, thanks to Anthem, the introduction
of a stand-up cab gratefully makes drowsy
head-butts a thing of the past while the
addition of a 70-inch bunk undeniably adds
a new dimension to Super-Liner status.
Meantime, word from within the corporate

kennel suggests the bigger sleeper will most
likely replace the 60-inch model in due
course.
Still, the combination in this exercise
remains the only one of its kind in Australia,
with the sleeper fully imported from Mack’s
US options list. The plan, however, is to
assess the cab and sleeper combination
in the heavy-duty and often rugged roles
where such premium packages are generally
sought, make any necessary adjustments
for Australian conditions before ultimately
assembling the sleeper from scratch at Wacol
along with all the finishing touches in trim
and fittings.
Obviously enough, it takes a big foundation
to mount such a big cab and sleeper
combination and the trial truck certainly
wasn’t short on the physical stature of
a Super-Liner set for heavy hauls in the
backblocks. Built on a 6.1 metre wheelbase
and with a gross combination mass rating of
131 tonnes, the truck carried fuel capacity of
2000 litres and 200 litres of AdBlue to keep
the big bore MP10 engine barking at peak
outputs of 685hp and 2300lb-ft of torque.
According to Mack, tare weight with roughly
half-full tanks was around 10.4 tonnes.
At this point, it’s worth noting that while
the 16 litre engine was fuelled with regular

diesel, it can – like most of its latest Volvo and
UD kin – also run on hydro-treated vegetable
oil (HVO), said to have similar attributes to
normal diesel but producing lower CO2
emissions. Right now though, HVO use is
severely limited by scant availability and
high cost, making the alternative fuel’s
immediate future more fanciful than fruitful.
Back on the hardware, Mack’s decision to
delete manual transmissions entirely from
its product range is nowadays easy to accept.
Since the availability of crawler cogs in the
mDrive automated transmission, along with
the smoother shifts and ‘Grade Gripper’
hill-hold function provided by more modern
electronics, the self-shifter has become even
more appealing and accepted across the vast
spectrum of transport tasks.
In this case, the Super-Liner ran through
the HD 13-speed version of mDrive, with
ratios ranging from a 17.54:1 crawler cog to
a 0.78:1 overdrive top gear. It’s no secret, of
course, there’s also an XHD 14-speed model
using the same 12 ‘on road’ ratios but adding
two crawler gears turning at 19.38 and a
mountain climbing 32.04:1, as well as ultradeep reverse ratios down to a snailing 37.49:1.
Predictably perhaps, given the
combination’s relatively modest gross weight
of around 88 tonnes, the single crawler of

New DEALS

the 13-speed HD was more than ample for
easy lift-offs on inclines. Moreover, with the
MP10’s burly muscle running through a 3.7:1
final drive ratio, the Mack was untroubled
holding the 90km/h roadtrain speed limit
with the engine burbling calmly around
1200rpm in top gear.
To state the obvious, the 685hp MP10 is
a potent performer, ideally programmed
with peak power on stream from 1500 to
1900rpm and top torque on tap from 1000
to 1500rpm. Simply stated, the engine
is delivering either maximum torque or
maximum power all the way from 1000rpm
to 1900rpm. A note of caution though: With
such strong torque feeding through such
a long chassis, it takes a feather foot on the
throttle to avoid a hint of torque wind-up
during lift-off.
Nonetheless, the sharply undulating
country between Mt Isa and Cloncurry was
little challenge to the Mack even with just a
few thousand kilometres under its belt. In
fact, the only stretch that might have made
the dog pant even a little was the long, hard
haul over the Mary Kathleen climb on the
run back to Mt Isa where, with manual mode
engaged, the steepest pinch near the top
prompted a shift down to 6th gear where the
engine barked big and bold around 1500rpm.
Slick, smooth and strong.

Flashback to 2016. We took
a Super-Liner with Mack’s 60
inch sleeper on its maiden
voyage and as good as the
bunk was, it highlighted the
need for a stand-up cab.
In time, the new 70-inch
fully integrated sleeper will
almost certainly replace the
60 inch shed

107

Meantime, it’s probably worth mentioning
that after 1100km and with three curtainsided trailers being pummelled by sweeping
side winds for much of the return leg, a fuel
figure of 1.32km/litre – or 3.73mpg for us
more mature types – didn’t seem too bad at
all. Better still, it’ll probably only improve as
more mileage gathers.
But it’s also needs to be pointed out that
one aspect of Mack’s design remains less
than likeable: Compared to the finger-tip shift
control wands or levers of every other truck
in this class, the mDrive transmission’s press
button control panel is awkwardly sited on
the top left of the dash fascia. It’s awkward
because when big hills like Mary K make
manual mode preferable, the driver has to
lean forward and across to make a shift.
Simply, it’s an old, even archaic design.
Still, it probably won’t change until an
entirely new cab eventually comes into
being, probably from Volvo’s US stocks and
probably not for a few years yet. Whatever, it’s
another story for another day. Probably!
Anyway, eastbound past the ’curry and on
to Julia Creek, Richmond and Hughenden,
the road flattens to a long run through wide
open plains but that’s not to suggest it’s a
carefree canter through the Queensland
countryside. Not at all, and certainly not for
the drivers of triples and quads sharing the
Flinders Highway between Townsville and
Cloncurry with the modern-day exodus of
cars, caravans and motorhomes heading to
or from the back o’ beyond.

108

Sure, everyone has a right to the road but
when much of the road is a skinny, scarred
strip of sunken furrows, scrappy fringes and
deceptive drops on either side, with regular
signs obliging truck drivers to call their
unseen approach on UHF, the burden of
responsibility and danger of distraction find
rare focus at the helm of an outfit snaking
almost half a football field into the backdrop.
Yet despite the occasional demands on
mind and machine, it was on the many less
likeable stretches of road that one of the
true pleasures of driving this Super-Liner
was revealed. Steering! To be blunt, SuperLiner simply steers better than before. More
direct and firmer, maybe even bordering
on ‘too firm’ for some, but with a new
steering box ratio and reconfigured rods, it
is unquestionably free of the looseness and
somewhat ‘washy’ traits which have marred
our earlier opinions of Super-Liner steering.
In a nutshell, the driver’s view over a dog’s
bum has always been a benefit for lining up
the side of the road but thankfully, the dog no
longer wants to wander near as much.
Sleep in style
Dusk was a red rim on the western horizon as
Hughenden loomed into view and later, with
shower, dinner and idle chatter done, it didn’t
take much encouragement to stroll into the
sleeper. For starters, the ability to simply stand
full length between the seats for anyone up to
1.86 metres tall cannot be overstated. When
you’re spending long days and nights away

New DEALS

from home, stand-up cabs are quite simply
one of the great benefits of the modern age
over the cramped boxes some longhaul
drivers are still expected to endure.
But of course, it shouldn’t surprise anyone
that comfort and space are supreme in
Mack’s mobile apartment. The king single
mattress is top quality, there’s a big fridge, a
stack of storage space both in the cab and
under the bunk, a deep locker for hanging
clothes, a handy slide-out tray and as part
of Mack’s ‘Outback Pack’ for roadtrain roles,
an ‘Icepack’ for keeping in-cab temperature
comfortable, day or night.
There was also a microwave and TV
but typifying the sleeper’s left-hand drive
origin, the tele sat above the fridge behind
the driver’s seat. A small detail perhaps, but
drivers in our part of the world generally
sleep with their head behind the driver’s
seat, so the TV should ideally be on the
other side where the clothes locker stands.
Hopefully, Mack will reverse the layout and
basically, adopt the same arrangement as
the current 60-inch sleeper which has most
things exactly where they should be.
Likewise, some drivers might also find the
absence of a large hatch door on the side of
the bunk a notable omission. Again, it’s easy
to recall a hatch door on the driver’s side of
the 60-inch sleeper but it remains to be seen
if Mack will add it to the 70-inch model.
Whatever, in a quiet corner of Hughenden,
sleep came easy on a superbly comfortable

bed. The only disturbance, of course,
came in the ‘wee’ hours of the morning but
gratefully, this time it didn’t take a thump in
the forehead to drift back to dreamtime.
Likewise, there’s little doubt about the
ride quality of the air-suspended cab and
sleeper for two-up operations. A short stint
on the bed when VGA’s Matt Wood drove
for a while simply confirmed that snoozin’
and cruisin’ aren’t polar opposites in Mack’s
biggest bunkhouse.
Yet for all its undeniable comfort and
space, features and appointments,
performance and road manners, the
interior décor of the Super-Liner cab and
its fully integrated mega-bunk borders on
bland.
Sure, it’s a personal judgement but
compared to one hugely popular brand in
particular (no prizes for guessing which
one), Mack’s grades of grey in both cab and
bunk do little to inspire an image of topshelf trucking in a flagship model which so
obviously and genuinely deserves a more
appealing interior finish.
Maybe a woodgrain panel or two.
Whatever, as long as it adds a splash of
character, class and even colour to sell the
message that Mack means business. Big
business, literally.
After all, drivers notice such things and
make no mistake, Super-liner with a fully
integrated 70-inch sleeper is every inch a
driver’s truck.

Third generation transport operator Tim McCarthy is at home in
the Scania P320 he’s chosen to be at the heart of his business
Words & Images | Warren Aitken

im McCarthy’s 2021 Scania P320 may
not be the biggest truck out there, but
it’s a perfect fit for the young ownerdriver – and he sure as hell has managed
to manoeuvre it into some pretty
interesting locations, as I saw first-hand as
he delivered a load of plastic water tanks.

The McCarthy family,
proud as punch of their
P320 Scania

112

First up, I should focus on the McCarthy
family as well as their cool Scania which is
the main subject of this article. If you have
scoped out the photos already, you will
notice the name on the truck is McCarthy
Trucking. Not Tim McCarthy Trucking or
even Tim Trucking. It is McCarthy Trucking
and that’s because this one-truck operation
is a full-on family venture.
Tim may be the man behind the wheel
but behind him is his lovely wife Ebony
and their daughter Addison. However, the
success of this family operation spreads
beyond the couple’s Bendigo home and all
the way through the McCarthy bloodline.
Tim has a family tree created entirely out of
tyre tread and road maps.
“My grandfather used to run log trucks
out of Leonards Hill in Victoria,” says Tim,
pointing out the menagerie of makes his
granddad went through during his career.

From an old Louisville, a Road Boss, a couple
of LTLs, a Sterling, and even an old Diamond
Reo.
“Grandad used to cart logs and a couple of
my uncles used to drive for him back in the
day,” Tim explains.
“My dad (Darren McCarthy) was a lot
younger though and went off and did his
own thing.”
That own thing was about as far from bush
bashing and logging as you can possibly get.
“Dad started out doing light freight in an
old Isuzu,” Tim continues. “He used to run
between Bendigo and Ballarat. He had an old
Isuzu to start with and then bought a new
one which he did up like a show truck.”
Tim was indoctrinated into the transport
industry from the day he was old enough to
hold a sponge and could barely reach the top
of the rims he was cleaning. When you start
that young, with a grandfather and father so
entrenched in the industry, it is no wonder
he found his way to where he is now. It wasn’t
exactly a straight route to the P320 he has his
name on today.
Tim’s life was obviously very heavily
influenced by his grandfather’s past and
growing up under his father’s tutelage.

Hence, it makes perfect sense that Tim is a
qualified butcher, with the beginnings of a
plumbing apprenticeship (that’s just a touch
of sarcasm there). Of course, it doesn’t make
sense.
“Dad told me I would have to get an
apprenticeship when I left school,” says
Tim, who goes on to explain that he already
had a part-time job cleaning at the local
butcher so as soon as he was allowed to
leave school. He exploited that and turned
it into a butcher’s apprenticeship.
“It was a job that allowed me to get out
of school as soon as I could,” Tim says. He
admits though that his heart was never
really in it. He’d grown up around trucks, so
trucks had always been his mainstay. Even
the teachers knew that back at his primary
school.
“I remember my primary school teacher
telling mum and dad not to bother saving
for my university, save for my first truck
instead,” Tim laughs. “I used to just sit in
class drawing trucks.”
However, by the time he finished his
apprenticeship, Tim’s dad Darren had sold
up his trucks and was taking a bit of a break.
Tim himself wasn’t feeling the butcher role,

it just wasn’t floating his boat. So he tried
his hand at a plumber apprenticeship. With
nothing to clean in the weekends either, Tim
took those years of polishing experience
and started a bit of a side hustle doing car
detailing. A butcher, future plumber, and
detailer – that was the summary of Tim in
his early 20s. None of those of this really
appealed to Tim, unlike the years of working
with and helping out his dad, cleaning and
servicing truck. That had left its mark on the
young fella.
Contentment only came when Tim got his
HR licence and finally found himself behind
the wheel of a little puddle jumper delivering
plaster. “I tried a few different things, but
it wasn’t until I got into trucks that I really
enjoyed my work life.
“I started working for a few companies
around Bendigo, delivering plaster,” Tim
recalls. “Then I delivered milk for a while.”
It is worth taking note that Tim and Ebony
started dating around the time Tim was
driving his small milk truck.

From delivering plaster, then milk, it didn’t

113

It’s the subtle touches from Saunders
Sign & Graphics that really stand out
on the little Scania

take long for Tim to get himself into a position
to put his name on the side of his own truck.
That opportunity arose when he moved
from milk to tanks. “I got a job for another
company delivering water tanks,” he recalls.
“It was a good job but there weren’t really
enough hours. Then I got a shot with another
company, doing the same kind of thing and,
although it would mean me doing some trips
away from home, I thought I would try.”
Tim took to the new job like rainwater
takes to the tanks he delivers. His work ethic
and ability to get the job done, often in very
remote locations, saw new opportunities
arise. Specifically, Tim was given the
option to put his own truck on the road.
An opportunity he credits to his dad and
grandad.
It was these two influential figures that
shaped Tim’s approach to the industry and
his attitude to work. “I saw my father retire
at a young age; I was also around when my
grandfather worked until he couldn’t even
get out of the truck anymore. I have seen
both sides. I look up to my father and what
he has achieved and am planning for the
same thing.”
The planning he is talking about is his
desire to work his butt off, balancing quality
family time while keeping his gear in
pristine condition as well as ensuring he has
a reputation as someone not afraid of a bit of
hard work.
All that grounding culminated with the
chance to place the McCarthy Trucking
name on the side of a truck again. With that
decision made, the next obstruction was to
choose the perfect vehicle to put that name
on.
“I’d driven a few of the company trucks,
the Hinos were good but were quite light
and struggled when the wind got up. I liked
the Mercedes, but they didn’t have a lot of
room. So, in the end I looked at either a Volvo
or a Scania,” Tim explains. “The standard
accessories in the Scania beat the Volvo, like
the airbag suspension.

The factory fitted adjustable Scania airbag
system means Tim can raise the front end
as well as the back in order to get into some
spots without damage. It also means he can
drop it down to look extra cool for photos

“For comfort and for the places we go
into – some are really bad – but the Scania
suspension can be raised 160mm. That was
a big selling point. Also in that size, it’s the
only one I know with an inbuilt fridge. Then
there’s all the safety features included.”
Those standard safety features Tim refers
to include all those annoying beepy things
like lane departure warning and advanced
emergency braking, as well as adaptive
cruise control and the electronic stabiliser
program.
Tim was also impressed by all the storage
space in the low version of the P cab. “I had
looked at the mid-rise version, but once again
because of some of the places we have to get
to, that extra height would be a bit of a pain.
Plus, the low-rise cab looks better when we
have such a low tray on these trucks.”
Power-wise, Tim had looked at the next
model up, the 360hp engine, but listened to
the guys at Scania who were adamant the
320 would be enough. “They were right,” Tim
says. “We don’t have a great weight on and

I already have to back off now when it gets
windy and that.”
The Scania 9.3 litre engine produces nearly
1200lb-ft of torque at around 1200rpm.
That’s more than enough to get Tim over any
mountain range without dropping a gear.
Which leads to another new issue for Tim –
the auto boxes.
“I’d only ever really driven manuals. I spent
some time in one of the company trucks
which had an auto. It was so slow and awful.
I wasn’t sold on the idea at the start,” Tim
confesses. “Now though, after having the
Scania, if I was offered the choice of manual
or auto, I would take the auto hands down. It’s
like driving a car, it really is that good. It also
has a creeper gear for reverse.”

It takes Tim longer to strap
down his load than it does
to actually load it. In the
time it took me to get my
PPE gear on, the truck went
from empty to full

Delivery date
With that choice made, the next issue was
waiting time. From start to finish the project
took all of nine months. Scania has produced

long wheelbase and low-profile tyre setup.
However, they are a specific truck and Tim
had to wait for one to arrive in the country
before he could start getting it built to his
specs.
“Because I had been doing the tanks for
a while, I knew a few of the little things I
wanted to change about mine, little things
like the flag poles. A lot of blokes just have
them hanging off the headboard, then they
flap around and rub all the paint off, which
I’m a bit particular about,” Tim says.
“There were other things like extra-long
toolboxes. I wanted those in front of the
drives. Some trucks have them behind, then
they end up hitting the trailer.”
Tim had made note of what would work,
what wouldn’t and, most importantly, what
would look good. The job then was to work

out who could do what he needed. For that
he turned to the creative team at Complete
Truck Bodies in Dandenong.
“Complete Truck Bodies were fantastic,”
Tim says. “There are a lot of places that do the
trays for these kinds of trucks but are very
much ‘this is what we build’. But Complete
Truck Bodies worked with me to build a oneoff kind of thing.
“We got it a bit lower, almost sitting on
the chassis rails. We also added an extra
fuel tank and did some changes just for the
look as well.” These include the matching
toolboxes and the modified bull bar.
Another small touch that needs to be noted
is the cool looking quarter guards. While
they were Tim’s idea and design, they were
also a massive surprise to him. “Mum and
dad actually did that for me. I had looked into

DEALS Profile
them when I was speccing up the truck, but
really couldn’t afford them,” he admits.
“It is our first truck, me and Ebony had
our first baby coming and we’d already
committed a lot to this and had to draw
the line. Then I found out mum and dad
had rung Complete Truck Bodies and said,
‘we’ll pay for those, just do it’. I was really
surprised.”
Coming from someone that can admire the
McCarthy Trucking Scania without having
to pay for it, I am thankful to Tim’s mum and
dad because the guards really set this truck
off.
Another name that has to be mentioned
is Heath Saunders from Saunders Sign
& Graphics from Boort, Victoria, a name
that’s no stranger to any truck enthusiast.
Saunders’ work is literally plastered over
some of the coolest trucks on our roads and
he was the first person Tim chased down
once he had signed up to his Scania.
“I wanted something nice and subtle, not
in your face. And when you look at Heath’s
work it’s as good as what’s going around,” Tim
explains of his choice to contact Saunders
Sign and Graphics “Heath designed our logo
using the purple idea. Dad’s old 900 was

used that. He then made sure the lines were
very understated and followed the body
work. It’s top work.”
After a nine month wait, and thousands of
kilometres in a company truck, Tim finally
got the keys to his first truck. All the comfort,
all the coolness, and all the practicality rolled
into one.
“The truck is great. I do about 180,000
kilometres a year and go into some pretty
tough spots and it’s perfect. The comfort is

120

second to none; I can do 1000km a day and
feel fine.”
He can often spend a few days away at a
time and finds the little Scania perfect for
sleeping in, while admitting he’s had only
limited experience with big trucks and big
bunks and doesn’t know much difference.

the truck choice and setup is extremely

important and he believes he has built the
perfect truck for the role. Compared to some
of the lighter Japanese trucks he has driven
he finds the Scania holds the road better, plus
he isn’t fighting the steering wheel all day,
especially when loaded with big tanks.
Another factor is fuel economy, important
for a young family and their one-truck
operation, so the Scania was hard to beat on
fuel consumption. Then there is the comfort,
which we have already touched on, although

I think Tim sums that up best.
“Let’s be honest, the roads are not getting
any better and some of the places we deliver
to can be way off the beaten track. The
Scania just handles it so well.”
All in all, buying your first truck can often
be an overwhelming task, but Tim has done
a spot-on job, getting a rig that ticks all the
boxes while looking extremely sharp while
working. It’s a credit to Tim and the entire
McCarthy family.

Starting up a new business in a new city required

ooking to retire? How about relocating
to Queensland’s Gold Coast? That’s
what was in the mind of Bill Flogeras
after 40 years in the road transport
industry after packing up and moving
north from Sydney. But maybe not fully
retiring, just picking up the odd job here
and there.

That all changed when Bill’s sons Spiros
and Carmello made the move as well. Both
had experience in trucking, albeit from
varied backgrounds.
Although a qualified carpenter, Carmello
(or Mel as he prefers) was running a transport
business. On the other hand, Spiros, with
his engineering background, worked for

124

pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca.
Prior to that he had sweet stints (pardon the
pun) within the confectionary production
industry as an overseas technician installing
production lines for various companies all
over the world.
Shortly before the pandemic hit, Spiros and
Mel were looking at starting afresh. Besides,
Spiros says he’d had enough of Sydney’s “rat
race”. Both decided to join Bill on the holiday
strip.
Rather than going into semi-retirement,
58-year-old Bill joined his two sons in starting
up a small sandblasting business from
scratch. Despite having no local contacts on
the Gold Coast, their fastidious work ethic

DEALS
New DEALS

Fuso Shogun 460 – one of
two doing the hard yards on
the Gold Coast

soon brought requests for extra work for
their newly named business, Alpha Omega
Excavations.
“We were doing driveways and people
were asking, ‘do you do landscaping?’, ‘what
about decks?’,” Spiros reflects.
“So, we started doing a few decks, hired
a little excavator and I thought, ‘there’s a
market up here’.”
However, the work soon outgrew Alpha
Omega’s little Fuso Canter. They needed
something larger.
Bill has owned a variety of second-hand
trucks over the years during his years of
running tipper haulage and excavations
out of Sydney. He’d always leaned towards

European brands, particularly Volvo, so that
seemed the obvious choice.
“I've had probably about 15 Volvos in my
life … maybe more,” Bill says. “The oldest one I
had was a G88; that was a 1970 model.
“I’ve had a couple of Americans, they’re
beautiful trucks but they’re just rough, no
turning circle. And they’re not cheap.”
With second-hand trucks in high demand,
forking out around $200,000 for a Volvo
that’s already done a million kilometres did
not seem an economical proposition.
The Flogeras family began entertaining
the option of buying something new. But, as
is the case in the current climate, ordering
a truck is the easy part; taking delivery is
another matter.
They initially approached UD and Hino.
Bill’s preference is for six-rod suspension,
although he liked the disc brakes and eight
air bag suspension on the UDs but baulked at
the price difference. And there was the usual
problem of supply delays.
Riding on air
Their next stop was Daimler Trucks Gold
Coast where they met up with the branch’s
south-east Queensland fleet account
manager, Jon Hamilton who introduced them
to a 460 Shogun.
“I wasn't into Japanese trucks,” Bill says.
“But Fuso is owned by Mercedes-Benz, and
their drivelines now are Detroit engines and
Mercedes drivelines. I said I’d give it a run
and was so impressed with it.”

Jon also explained to Bill the benefits of air
ride suspension.
“In the tipping game six rod is always –
they're better. They don’t get bogged, you can
tip one axle in a ditch and the other one out
compared to the air bag.
“Then Jon convinced me the new air ride
system that they have is pretty much like a
Mercedes-Benz. And he was right.
“It’s a better ride obviously and more
comfortable. And that's why we went back
because my mentality was all my tippers
over the years were rod suspension.”
While Jon Hamilton was educating the
Flogeras clan on the merits of the Fuso
Shogun, Bill offered Jon a few tips on building
the right body for their line of work. The first
460 Shogun was sent to a local body builder,
but the hefty price and workmanship quality
left a little to be desired. They made the
decision that any future bodies would be
ordered, designed and built further south,

namely M&S Truck Bodies in the NSW
Illawarra region and AA Diesel Truck Bodies
in Dandenong, Victoria.
The 460 was followed by another 460
and a 510. A fourth Fuso arrived a couple
of months ago, but not the 460 they had
initially planned on. Again, with an eye on
waiting time, an opportunity arrived when a
510 tipper, on display at the Brisbane Truck
Show in May, became available.
“Jon removed the bull bar as we wanted
to keep our image consistent with our other
Fusos and the bull bar was more than we
required,” Spiros continues.
He also makes a point of saying that the
four Shoguns are also united in cleanliness,
getting a thorough wash each week.
“They’re a great advertisement,” he says.
“You drive them around and you’re basically
advertising the company, that’s why we keep
them in good nick. It's worth it, it's like paying
for marketing and advertising.”

However, cleanliness is but one part
of Alpha Omega’s growing and glowing
reputation.
“Listening to the customers, all of them
had complaints about guys with machines
and trucks would turn up late, or ring you at
the last minute with, ‘sorry, we can't come’.,”
Bill says. “They were cheaper than us in the
hourly rates, but they didn't get what we gave.”
On show
It has been a quick learning curve for Bill,
Spiros and Mel, starting a new business from
scratch in a different city. In preparation,
Spiros says they studied the market to look
to see what they could do different to their
competitors while sticking to their values.
“Turn up early, have your trucks always
clean, presentation, a good work ethic,

128

reliability, be loyal to your customers … things
like that,” he says.
“Since then, we've attended for flood
recovery work with various councils, we're
on the Gold Coast light rail project at the
moment too, and everyone's really happy
with our work and our trucks.
“The benefit for our company is that we
always keep our trucks in really good nick.
You get a lot of companies just wanting our
trucks to be on their site, because we’re very
professional.”
That professionalism extends to whoever
sits in the driver’s seat. So, when it comes to
hiring, it’s a case of finding the right person
for the job, as Bill explains following their
latest recruitment process.
“We went through about 10 different
interviews,” he says. “It's really hard, they’ve

DEALS
New DEALS
Profile

all got a truck licence but a lot of them don’t
know how to drive tippers.”
“They have to be trainable as well,” Spiros
chips in. “We set it to a certain standard.
This is our procedure, this is our training,
so we want you to act a certain way and be
professional, pretty much tier one drivers.
“Everyone’s like, ‘you’re just a truck driver’,
but it's actually really hard to operate a truck
on site. And there's just so much involved
which people don't realise, like traffic control,
communication, tipping in the correct spot,
positioning the truck to get loaded with
different machines, you know, just things like
that.
“We want to make truck driving pretty
much an art form,” Spiros states.
Meanwhile, Bill has temporarily shelved
any plans for taking it easy, although he has

his eyes on a new specced-up MercedesBenz Actros that is soon to enter the Daimler
Trucks Gold Coast showroom. He views it as
his possible “retirement truck”.
Spiros, however, doesn’t share the same
enthusiasm. “If he wants to retire in it,
fine. You can live in it pretty much. It's got
beds and fridges and microwaves – take it
camping if you like,” he smiles, adding that it
could find a home in their existing small fleet
as a truck and dog.
“That’s a fair compromise but it would look
nice. It would look like a show truck.”
That would be a big jump for Alpha Omega
Excavations, but due to the growth of the
business, it’s not out of the question.
“Where we've come from, when we started
in the last two years, anything is possible,”
Spiros says. “It’s been a journey.”

i-Team ANZ’s distribution rights of Orbot
cleaning machines gives the Australian and New
Zealand cleaning market a new tech boost

Clean sweep
Ausco Modular’s Leonardo Elevated
Work Platform in use on site

Highs and lows
Ausco Modular, an Australian manufacturer and installer of
portable modular buildings, has made its manufacturing and hire
operations safer and more efficient with new equipment from
Toyota Material Handling Australia
Ausco Modular recently decided to
purchase 10 new TMHA Leonardo
EWPs (Elevated Work Platforms) and
four TMHA ride-on sweepers for its
four manufacturing facilities across
Australia, making the switch from
more traditional ladders and mobile
scaffolding in a move it says will
improve worker efficiency and safety.
Leonardo EWPs
Ausco Modular National Operations
and Fleet Manager David Leditschke
praised the Leonardo EWPs for their
manoeuvrability.
“They do the job for us, they’re good
in tight spaces, they’re safe, they add
a level of efficiency to our processes
and the feedback from the guys that
use them is really good as well, which
is really important,” he says.
“The fact that it is flexible and you
can do tasks at different heights just
by using a machine rather than going
up and down and changing ladders is
a real time saver.
Adopting the new TMHA EWPs
also improves safety outcomes for
Ausco, with the increased size and
complexity of modern modular
buildings requiring more stringent
safety measures.
“Especially these days, the scope
of modular buildings is becoming
more complex - higher, heavier, more
complicated with materials used so this product adds a level of safety

and efficiency to our manufacturing
operations,” Leditschke says.
“In the hire yards we have to
maintain our fleet of 10,000 hire
buildings nationally... these EWPs give
us the same sort of efficiencies that the
factories get.”
TMHA Ride-on Sweepers
Ausco also decided to purchase four
TMHA ride-on sweepers which have
helped the business save on time
and manpower, while also ensuring a
clean and safe working area.
“We’ve also bought some sweepers
recently from TMHA, the ride-on
sweepers for our branches and the
guys like them just as much (as the
EWPs),” Leditschke says.
“Once again it’s an efficiency
game. On a Friday afternoon having
three blokes on a broom for two
hours sweeping up the workshop
as opposed to one guy jumping on
a sweeper and having it done in 40
minutes, the sweepers have brought
an efficiency to the place.
“And there’s also a safety aspect;
the floors are clean and there’s no
hazards.”
For more on the Leonardo EWP range
and the TMHA ride-on sweepers,
visit www.toyotamaterialhandling.
com.au or contact Ausco Modular for
temporary, permanent and portable
buildings solutions.

Commercial cleaning products
company i-Team ANZ will distribute
the Orbot machinery range in
Australia and New Zealand.
Designed for small to medium-sized
spaces and to handle different floor types,
the Orbot cleaning range will be uniquely
distributed in Australia by i-team ANZ.
i-Team director Tim Pugh says the
exclusive distribution deal will help his
company offer customers “the most
innovative and efficient cleaning and
restoration solutions available.”
The i-Team ANZ Orbot range offers three
models to the local market:

Orbot SLiM
This machine is engineered to “effortlessly
manoeuvre through tight spaces” due
to its compact design and multiple
attachment features.
It has a lever-free on/off switch for hands
free cleaning, a low-moisture spray jet,
integrated LED lights and an 11-inch freefloating base for complete floor contact.
With a 36V lithium-ion battery, the
Orbot SLiM has an average run time of
45 minutes (depending on floor and pad)
and offers quick solution change over
with a 90 minute charge time.

Orbot SprayBorg
Designed for deep cleaning and intensive
restoration tasks, the Orbot SprayBorg
is used to combat stains in residential,
commercial and industrial cleaning.
Designed for heavy-duty work with its
1hp engine and 90psi pressure pump,
the Orbot SprayBorg can increase the
pressure with adjustable spray jets and
added weights on its 17-inch floating base.

Orbot Vibe
Engineered to provide floor scrubbing
and polishing, the Orbot Vibe aims for
“impeccable floor maintenance” with its
adjustable frame and ability to dispense a
“high-gloss” clear coat protection.
All machines include Orbot’s “dual-action
orbital technology” that uses orbital
vibration and rotational cleaning rather
than the one-direction scrubbing found on
standard industry cleaners.

Care.
It’s what we do.
At Isuzu, we’ve always taken great care of our customers.
We’re Australia’s number one truck… an honour we’ve held for over
three decades.
That means more businesses put their trust in us than any other
truck brand.
We understand that reputations are riding on us and that’s why
Isuzu Care is more than just an aftersales service package.
It’s part of our DNA.
From day one, we support customers and demonstrate that reliability is
everything. We pride ourselves on being proactive and always going the
extra mile.
And as we look to new frontiers, we’re ﬁnding new ways to help our
customers exceed their goals.
Isuzu Care is what sets us apart.
Always has, always will.
