at the Truckies’ Challenge stand.
Visitors to the event who are mobility
challenged will be catered for with trishaw
tours of the grounds, and Saturday night’s onstage entertainment will feature multi awardwinning singer and songwriter, Craig Lloyd,
plus crowd favourites Peter Coad & The Coad
Sisters and The Jim Hermel Band.
At 7.30am on Sunday morning a Truckie's
Breakfast (free for entrants only) will fuel up
participants for the 9am convoy through
town.
To top it off, there will be free health checks
provided by LaTrobe Health to make sure
drivers are prepared for the excitement of

Scania’s western push
Recent growth in WA has allowed Scania to expand its network
of sales and service branches
Scania has announced that its
company-owned network of sales
and service branches will expand in
2024-25 with the opening of a brandnew purpose-built facility at Hope
Valley, Western Australia.
The facility will comprise a new
parts warehouse opening in 2024 and
servicing the State, and a sales and
service workshop that is due to
commence trading in 2025.
The selection of Hope Valley reflects
the rapid growth of Perth’s southern
corridor and positions Scania close to
major arterial roads for ease of
customer access.
The workshop and parts warehouse
will be on a prominent 19,000 sqm
block in a new industrial precinct.
“Scania in WA has been growing
quickly over the past decade and
we have attracted more customers
both for on-road vehicles running
intra-state as well as across to the
eastern states, and also within the
State’s burgeoning mining industry,”
Scania WA, SA and NT dealer director
Michael Berti says.
“These growing segments have required an expansion of services as
well as a good deal of innovation from
Scania Australia to meet the needs of
its customers in a proactive way.”
The multi-purpose facility will
boast a standalone 3500 sqm central
parts warehouse to service the WA
market, while the workshop will be
able to accommodate multi-combination vehicle sets over an ultra-long
maintenance pit, removing the need

to decouple in order to carry out servicing and, potentially, repairs.
Large crossovers and hardstands
will provide ease of access for vehicles up to 36.5m long.
Also included in the facility design
is a purpose-built office environment
with dedicated customer areas and
ample space and amenities for the
on-site Scania team.
Hope Valley will be the first true EVready facility for the Scania
Australia business with infrastructure
in place to handle today’s BEV
charging needs and future capacity
for high volume vehicle charging.
“Over the past decade we have
devised onsite or fly-in service teams
to ensure our more remote
customers enjoy unrivalled uptime
from their Scania service vehicles as
well as heavy haul trucks and staff
transfer buses,” Berti says.

An artist's impression of the soon-to-bebuilt Scania branch at Hope Valley
in Western Australia

“Our business development
trajectory requires us to ramp up our
capacity to service our growing fleet
of customer vehicles as well as to
prepare for the transition to battery
electric and alternative fuel vehicles,
which will undoubtedly arrive sooner
than people think.
“We opened a new dedicated parts
distribution warehouse in Welshpool
only around two years ago, but such
has been the growth of the Scania
business in Western Australia, this facility has already surpassed all
expectations, and this in part prompted us to further expand our parts
capacity at the new Hope Valley site,
by doubling our available warehousing space to handle today’s needs and
support future developments in both
ICE and BEV product ranges.”
Scania Australia MD Manfred Streit

Daily duties
Iveco’s new cab-chassis Daily range is turning heads with its good looks and great inclusions
When it comes to tradies’ choices,
there’s an abundance of options
out there in the cab chassis market.
Through sheer strength of numbers,
Japanese brands dominate the light
duty sector, but Iveco with its Euro 6
updated Daily range, is giving
prospective buyers a European
option. More to the point, there’s a few
options, including the 132kW (180hp)
and 155kW (210hp) models.
According to Iveco product
manager Emiliano Foieri, the majority
of customers opt for the lighter cabchassis, but he was happy to hand
over the keys to a 210hp dual fiveseater version for a three-hour run
around Melbourne’s south-east and
beyond.
Iveco had placed a substantial load
on the 3450mm wheelbase Daily,
around 70 per cent of its 4,495kg GVM
capacity, for a real-life experience.
But what is immediately apparent is
the roominess of the cab. It’s simply
spacious.
Even a three-person work crew in
the rear bench seat would have little
reason to complain, but that depends
on consideration shown by possible

oversized individuals up front.
Another space saver is having the
park brake positioned on the dash.
Behind the wheel and the
driver’s seat is comfy, helped by the
memory foam. The seat has both
a tilt and telescopic steering wheel
adjustment, adding further comfort,
not to mention improved ergonomics
compared to previous models.
Climbing in and out is an easier task
as well, due to the seat’s ‘get-off’ angle.
Initially, the heated seat gave me
concern that I was coming down with
another dose of COVID but, as Foieri
jokingly points out, the truck had
been specced for Victoria’s weather.
On the dash, the impressive TFT
instrument cluster features seven
dedicated screen menus – and
there’s a Hi-Connect multimedia
system that’s compatible with Apple
CarPlay, Android Auto and, of course,
Bluetooth. For the geographically
unfamiliar, this test drive vehicle
came with TomTom GPS. No problem
with charging your phone either, with
cordless inductive charging available.
Off and running, although a
couple of wrong turns around the

Dandenong area brought the benefit
of testing out the Iveco Daily’s turning
circle. Top marks there. Anything
more complicated and the highresolution reversing camera, an
option on cab chassis models, kicks in.
It’s almost car-like in manoeuvrability,
but with its height and solidity, it’s all
truck.
In previous models, the Daily used
hydraulic steering, but the 2023
upgrades have shifted to electric
power steering right across the range.
For tight situations, drivers are able
to activate Iveco’s new City Mode
through a button on the dash, helping
to cut steering effort by up to 70 per
cent.
Driver focus is tested with Iveco’s
Proactive Lane Keep Assist, which
Iveco says complements its Lane
Departure Warning feature. The
windscreen-mounted camera
apparently recognises road markings,
sounding an alarm if you’re drifting
out into the next lane, or off the road,
without indicating. It can be a tad
annoying, but it’s way better to keep
your eyes on the road ahead than
have the Proactive Lane Keep Assist

News

take over and autonomously correct the
Daily’s trajectory.
As with current trends, the
eight-speed Hi-Matic automatic
transmission in this particular model is
commonplace for city-bound light-duty
trucks. Although some buyers prefer
the manual stick, Foieri estimates that
number represents less than one per
cent of sales.
Safe and sound
Driving south-east along the South
Gippsland Highway, the 210hp Daily
boasting 470Nm of torque, poked along
well, any undulations alleviated by the
rear air suspension.
As expected, Victoria’s four-seasonsin-one-day scenario soon arrived. No
problem there as the automatic wipers
immediately took care of any drizzle
remnants – another nicety to help in
avoiding driver distraction. There’s auto
headlights as well, handy when driving
in and out of the Burnley Tunnel and
the like.
There’s a certain aura of safety when
driving the Iveco cab chassis, including
front and rear disc brakes with ABS and
driver, passenger and curtain airbags. In
addition to ABS, the range includes an
Advanced Emergency braking System
(AEBS), Adaptive Cruise Control and
ESP9, Iveco’s suite of nine electronic
stability technologies.
In addition to the aforementioned
Lane Departure Warning and City
Brake, another safety item worth
mentioning is Queue Assist which can
be optioned, albeit at additional cost.
Queue Assist, a fatigue and driver
distraction reduction inclusion, is for
slow moving in start and stop traffic,
allowing the vehicle to automatically
accelerate and brake to a complete stop.
Likewise, Iveco says City Brake is
designed for similar conditions and
prefills the braking system for faster
response if it detects an imminent
collision.
This can also provide visual and
audio warnings to the driver. If the
driver, for whatever reason, takes
no action, brakes will be applied
automatically.
Aesthetically, the Iveco Daily cab
chassis is a smart-looking piece of gear,
it’s European styling both inside and
out adding giving it a touch of class.
It’s a clear-cut competitor in the light
commercial and tradie market.

Volvo boost for Exodas
A new delivery of Volvo trucks is helping Exodas continue
its expansion across the east coast
Seven new Volvo trucks have joined
the Queensland-based fleet of the
Exodas transport, the company’s
biggest Volvo delivery to date.
The Volvos, which range from
an FM11 and FH13 to FH16 600 XXL
Globetrotters, will handle duties from
local distribution through to multitrailer linehaul.
Started by Brett Tynan in 2001 with
just two trucks, Exodas has since
grown its fleet to around 100 trucks
and 30 rigids.
Its operations are mostly along the
east coast, with six depots across
Queensland and New South Wales.
Tynan says he and his colleagues

are big fans of Volvo, not just for their
trucks but for their customer support.
“Obviously we love the product,”
Tynan says.
“However, it’s the back-up and the
people we deal with from Volvo on a
daily basis that gets us over the line
every time.
“All our Volvo Group trucks are
covered by gold service agreements
which give us a lot more peace of
mind when it comes to servicing,
back up and costing.”
Tynan says the 22-year-old
Yatala based company has depots
on the NSW Central Coast, Yatala,
Townsville, Bowen, Tully and

VCV Australia sales director Martin
Lambert with Exodas managing director
Brett Tynan, and Volvo Trucks sales
manager Philippa Wood

Mareeba to help cart sensitive freight.
“Just knowing that if there’s an
issue, the driver can get help at
the push of a button makes a big
difference, it keeps our wheels
turning and our business running,”
he says.
Volvo Commercial Vehicle
Australia dealer principal Greg
Sargeant says: “Trust is vital in any
partnership, and it’s great to see
Exodas’ continued success and
growth.
“We’re proud to have the Exodas
team as part of the Volvo family, and
we look forward to supporting them
for many more years to come.”

Scania’s electric future
Scania says its next generation of battery electric vehicles will add even more
depth to a wide array of Scania’s battery-powered solutions
Major heavy vehicle brand Scania
says it has begun producing the next
level of battery electric vehicles
(BEVs) including electric trucks with
power, range and battery
charging capacity for daily
operations in a variety of urban and
regional transport assignments.
Major updates for the company’s
urban BEV solutions have also
been introduced, with e-adapted
chassis, new batteries and optimised
auxiliary systems.
The battery-electric zero-emissions
regional trucks were first introduced
in June 2022, with Scania building up
a solid order book since then.
Production will now commence in
Södertälje, Sweden, for trucks with
R and S cabs with 400 or 450 kW of
engine power, sufficient for a broad
variety of truck applications.
“Operating zero-emission trucks is
no longer a privilege for the chosen
few,” Scania Senior Vice President
Fredrik Allard says.
“Scania’s offer now covers a wide

span of applications and customer
demands while offering services
that are lowering the threshold for a
transformation towards fossil-free
transports for the many.”
The company is preparing to up
its offer for applications such as
distribution trucks and light tippers.
With the addition of e-adapted
chassis, batteries by Northvolt and
new auxiliary systems that will
add better functionality and less
complexity, new doors will now be
opened.
A range of new electric machines
called the EM C1-4 family have also
been introduced in no less than five
different power levels.
“With its five different power levels
and four gears, this electric machine
has flexibility written all over it. With
this as the foundation, we can guide
each customer to exactly the right
configuration regarding the number
of batteries and our services so that it
truly fits their needs,” Allard says.
Working with Northvolt has seen

Scania uncover many strengths
in its batteries. This includes being
charged repeatedly up to 100 per
cent of the SOC-window without
any impact on lifespan plus having
a straight charging curve that gives
predictable charging times.
They have been able to
accomplish these rare capabilities
by making sure that the batteries
always have the right temperature.
“We believe that charging issues
will be regarded as less problematic
when people learn more about how
batteries work in reality,” Allard says.
“When we analyse operational
patterns, it often becomes evident
that the vast majority have all the
range they need, with a margin.
“Tippers and other kinds of rigidbased applications often do fewer
than 200 kilometres per day when
operating in urban areas. If they
charge at their home depot and join
Scania Charging Access for backup, range would not be an issue for
them.”

The new eActros 600
Mercedes-Benz Trucks has unveiled its first battery electric
long-haul truck in Hamburg
In a global release, Mercedes-Benz
Trucks has unveiled the series
version of the first battery electric
long-haul truck for the brand in the
eActros 600.
The model premiered recently to
an international audience at an event
south of Hamburg, Germany.
With this heavy-duty electric
truck, the manufacturer plans to
define a new standard in road freight
transport – in terms of technology,
sustainability, design and profitability
for e-fleet operators.
The high battery capacity of more
than 600 kilowatt hours – hence the
model designation 600 – and a new,
particularly efficient electric drive
axle developed in-house, enable the
e-truck to achieve a range of 500
kilometres without intermediate
charging.
If charged during prescribed driver
breaks the eActros 600 will be able to
travel significantly more than 1,000
kilometers per day.
Around 60 per cent of longdistance journeys of Mercedes-Benz
Trucks customers in Europe are
shorter than 500 kilometres, which

means charging infrastructure at
the depot and at the loading and
unloading points is sufficient.
For all other uses, continual
expansion of public charging
infrastructure is vital in order to make
the electric truck viable for longdistance haulage across Europe.
The vehicle is technically designed
for a gross combination weight of
up to 44 tonnes. With a standard
semitrailer, the eActros 600 has a
payload of around 22 tonnes in the
EU. In some cases, national law may
permit a higher payload.
Visually, the e-truck is
characterised by a fundamentally
new design with clear lines and an
aerodynamic shape. When it comes
to profitability for fleet operators,
the electric truck is intended to set
new standards over the long term
replacing the majority of diesel trucks
in the important long-haul transport
segment.
The core of Mercedes-Benz
Trucks’ concept for battery-electric
long-distance transport is to offer
customers a holistic solution
consisting of vehicle technology,

consulting, charging infrastructure
and services.
Sales of the electric truck start
this year with the start of series
production planned for the end of
2024.
In addition to the tractor unit,
Mercedes-Benz Trucks will also
produce rigid variants of the eActros
600 right from market launch,
offering customers further possible
applications for all-electric transport.
A fleet of around 50 prototype
vehicles is currently being built,
some of which are also to be put into
practical testing with first customers
in a next step.
“The eActros 600 stands for
the transformation of road freight
transport towards CO2-neutrality like
no other truck with a three-pointed
star,” Mercedes-Benz Trucks CEO
Karin Rådström says.
“It is characterised by highly
innovative drive technology that
can offer our customers particularly
high energy efficiency and thus
profitability. This makes entry into
e-mobility even more attractive for
fleet operators.”

TR Group is expanding its truck and
equipment business across the country

Quality focus for
TR Group
Truck rental and leasing company TR Group is using the recent
growth of its footprint across Australia to optimise its equipment
and approach for local customers
As a major player in the truck leasing
space, TR Group is continuing to
expand. It’s investing in new
locations, growing its fleet with
quality equipment and taking a
customer first approach to
supporting Australian transport
companies.
The trucking industry plays a
critical role in the global economy,
transporting goods across vast
distances efficiently and reliably.
However, there are periods when
demand for truck transport surges,
often due to seasonal factors or
special events. TR Group says that
preparing for these busy periods is
essential for trucking companies who
need to meet fluctuating demand,
customer expectations and want to
maximise profits and maintain their
reputation for reliability.
As a truck and trailer leasing
company, TR Group plays an
important role in providing the
Australian transport industry with
multiple options for truck and trailer
applications for short- or long-term
hire.
The TR Group team have identified
the importance of forecasting trends,
especially leading into peak periods.
TR Group general manager Peter
Irwin says the team’s objective is

to work with its customers to start
planning ahead and provide the
perfect solution for their needs.
“We are finding that the majority of
our customers are now starting to see
the benefit of expanding their fleet
through the flexibility of rental during
busy periods,” Irwin told ATN.
While TR Group has continued
to expand its national footprint
with six locations spread across the
country, the team is also balancing
its focus to ensure that it has the right
applications to suit the conditions in
each region across Australia.
The growing fleet has more than
400 trucks, including a range of

Euro 6 Prime movers, rigids and 6x4s,
as well as 2,200 trailers including
Tautliners, Skels, Flattops and
Refrigeration models ready to go to
work.
The TR team prides itself on having
reliable equipment that is maintained
courtesy of a specialised support
team that supports its customers.
“In Australia you need to have a
customer first approach and you
need the right equipment to back
it up,” TR Group national rental
manager Rick Halliwell told ATN.
“Our team is focused on having the
latest trucks and trailers available
that are modern, fuel efficient and
are all built with driver safety and
comfort at the forefront of our minds.”
TR Group says preparing for a
busy truck transport period requires
careful planning, resource allocation
and efficient operations.
By forecasting demand,
maintaining open communication
and helping to manage the
fluctuating needs of customers
fleets, TR Group says operators can
navigate these periods much more
successfully.
The leasing company says
it’s ready to help with effective
preparation and fleet planning that
strengthens customer reputations
and competitiveness. Check it out at

Victoria makes zeroemissions breakthrough
Victoria has surged ahead in the zero-emissions heavy vehicle
race, implementing the first permanent access rule change for a
Volvo truck network
The Victorian government has
followed the likes of South
Australia, NSW and Queensland in
moving towards a zero-emissions
freight transport roadmap.
As part of the move, the
government will establish a zeroemissions heavy vehicle freight
network alongside Volvo.
Access maps will reduce the need
for structural assessments on a
permit-by-permit basis for operators
of approved vehicles – saving time,
cutting red tape and cost burdens on
the heavy vehicle industry.
The first map will be centred on
a new Volvo electric semi-trailer,
allowing the manufacturer to start
offering this combination for use
on the approved network by local
operators to super-charge a shift
towards more sustainable heavy
vehicles.
The new permanent low/zeroemissions road network will simplify
the implementation of this vehicle
technology on Victorian roads,
allowing Volvo electric trucks to
operate under a pre-approved, threeyear permit with a 7.5 tonne steer axle
weight concession.
Victoria is the first Australian state
or territory to make permanent
moves to open the road network to
low/zero-emissions heavy vehicles
rather than announcing a trial.
“We’ve been very clear that without

legislative changes, such as these,
we won’t, as an industry, meet the
emissions targets that we’re all
working towards,” Volvo Group
Australia president and CEO
Martin Merrick says.
“I applaud the commitment shown
by the Victorian government by
taking these steps. We’ve made our
commitment to both industry and
society that we will be at the forefront
of zero-emissions transport and I’m
heartened to see government taking
steps along this journey as well.”
The National Heavy Vehicle
Regulator (NHVR) has commenced

developing a Future Heavy Vehicle
Roadmap to provide a blueprint
so the Australian heavy vehicle
industry can further plan.
“Achieving substantial reductions
in transport sector emissions means
we need to rapidly reduce our
petroleum-fuelled vehicle fleet and
shift freight to rail while we transition
to zero emissions vehicles (ZEVs)
powered by clean energy,” Victorian
ports and freight minister Melissa
Horne says.
“This announcement shows
Victoria is forging a path to drive
energy transition in the freight sector,
accelerate the uptake of ZEVs and
encourage mode shift across our
transport network as we zero-in on
decarbonisation.’’
The Victorian government has set
interim emissions reduction targets
of 50 per cent against 2005 levels by
2030 and a 75-80 per cent reduction
by 2035.
The Victorian Budget 2023/24
announced a $15 million program
targeting truck operators who
regularly travel through Melbourne’s
inner west, providing grants to
remove their older, dirtier trucks
off the road and encourage the
transition to newer, more emission
efficient trucks.

Mighty Hyundai
Pricing, servicing and warranty details of the Hyundai
Mighty electric truck have been released
Aussie fleet owners and truck drivers
looking for a light duty, heavy
commercial truck, powered by an
electric battery system have a new
option with sales opening on
Hyundai’s Mighty electric truck
model.
Hyundai Motor Company Australia
has identified six dealers within its
network who will start selling the
$150,000+ truck as a cab chassis set
up with the option of a genuine alloy
tray at additional cost.
The truck is being sold with a
240km range, fully laden.
HMCA Chief Operating Officer John
Kett says the electric truck is ideally
suited to last mile or back-to-base work
for businesses wanting to reduce their
driving emissions.
“The Mighty Electric is best suited
to urban environments, with its zero
driving emissions, a quiet electric
motor and high energy efficiency at
lower speeds,” Kett says.
“The smoothness and quietness
of operation will help reduce driver
fatigue and enhance road safety.”
Kett says the company had a great
response to the preview of the vehicle
at the Brisbane Truck Show in May,

with operators encouraged by the
decision of Hyundai to move into the
electric truck market.
“There is no doubt that the era of
zero driving emission commercial
vehicles is upon us, and that Hyundai
Motor Company Australia will
deliver to customers a real-world,
commercially viable product that
meets their needs and aspirations,”
Kett says.
The Hyundai Mighty Electric uses
a permanent magnet synchronous
motor generating 120kW of power and
320Nm of torque. Drive is to the rear
axle via a single-speed reduction gear
turning a propellor shaft. Final drive
ratio is 5.375:1. It has a maximum speed
of 100km/h.
To recharge, the Mighty Electric
will accept up to 6.6kW of AC power
or 100kW of 800V DC fast-charging
power using a CCS 2 combo charging
port, enabling it to charge from 8 to 100
per cent in approximately 71 minutes.
For faster turnarounds, a 20-minute
fast charge during an unloading stop
could add around 100km of range.
In terms of body side, the 6,140mm
long Mighty has a 3,300mm
wheelbase and is 2,353mm wide

with a GVM of 7,300kg. Hyundai
says it plans to release a pantech box
body style in “due course” as a factory
option.
The truck will be sold with a 5 year /
200,000km warranty and an 8 year /
400,000km battery warranty.
Hyundai has set a 12-month service
schedule, or 20,000km, whichever
comes first, with estimated costs
for the first five years or 100,000km
of $4,300. The truck is fitted with
regenerative braking technology,
auto dusk-sensing headlamps, LED
DRLs, heated exterior mirrors, forward
collision avoidance camera and radar,
and a lane keep assist system.
There’s also electro-hydraulic
power steering, backed by a tilt and
telescopically adjustable column, and
a suspension seat for the driver, along
with rotary shift-by-wire transmission
control, and 24V power outlets and
storage binnacles.
Other elements include cruise
control, a 7-inch colour instrument
cluster information screen directly
in the driver’s line of view, plus a
centrally mounted 7-inch display
touchscreen infotainment centre,
with rear view camera display.

Jeffries goes with Isuzu
Jeffries’ two new Isuzus are set to optimise its fleet capabilities
South Australian soil and compost
company Jeffries has added two
new Isuzu 240-300 Autos with green
waste compactor bodies to its fleet.
The trucks, which were recently
collected from Northeast Isuzu in
Adelaide, join a fleet of other medium
and heavy-duty Isuzu trucks.
These include FVY 240-300
compactors, tippers, trailer and water
trucks, an FVY 240-300 with agitator,
a Gigamax EXY 260-520 fitted with
a quad dog trailer and tipper body,
and another Gigamax for the serious
grunt work.
Jeffries say their favourite truck is
the robust FVY 240-300, which they
use for everything from compacting
to tipping, towing, and agitating.
The FVY comes with a GVM of
24,000 kg and a GCM of 36,000
kg, which leaves plenty of payload
for collecting organic material or
delivering horticulture supplies.
It’s powered by Isuzu’s 6HK1-TCS
6-cylinder 24 valve engine, which

outputs 221 kW (300 PS) @ 2,400 rpm
and 981 Nm @ 1,450 rpm.
Jeffries’ compactors collect organic
material from grocery stores and
produce suppliers, compacted
on-board before being brought to
the Jeffries’ facility in Wingfield.
This material is then processed to
become compost, soil, mulch and
fertilisers to be used at farms and
vineyards across SA.
“We need our Isuzu compactor
trucks to be able to maneouvre in
the CBD, but we also want to have
maximum payload, so that we don’t
make unnecessary trips back to the
site to load up,” Jeffries executive
chairman Lachlan Jeffries says.
Jeffries’ tippers can regularly be
spotted on the road transporting
soil, compost, mulch and fertilisers
to Jeffries’ customers across SA, and
their water truck is on site for dust
management during construction
activities.
The company offers a range

of composts, soils and mulches,
many of which are the product of
partnerships with the council, local
supermarkets, hotels, restaurants and
food processors seeking a solution for
their organic material disposal.
Jeffries has also designed its own
recycled organics sorting system.
“We have large customers who
generate organic resources, including
government and city councils,
and we partner with major waste
companies such as Cleanaway and
Veolia,” Jeffries says.
“We also have bulk products that
we sell to a range of landscape supply
yards.
“These products go back to home
gardeners and landscapers and are
used in small domestic projects
through to large-scale jobs like parks
and recreation areas.
“We think we play a key role in
moving Adelaide towards a more
circular process where items are
either reused or recycled.”

IKEA goes with hydrogen
Quantron AG is providing its latest hydrogen truck models to
IKEA Austria in a major move for the retail giant
IKEA Austria, together with Quantron
AG, has unveiled its latest example
of sustainable logistics, with IKEA
Austria becoming the first IKEA
market worldwide to introduce
hydrogen fuel cell trucks.
Quantron AG, a specialist in
sustainable passenger and freight
transport, is supplying the Quantron
QLI FCEV model vehicles. The zeroemission transporters will be fuelled
with green hydrogen from energy
supplier Wien Energie.
“By introducing the hydrogen
trucks - as the first IKEA market
worldwide - we succeed in Austria
in taking a big step in implementing
environmentally friendly processes,”
IKEA Austria CEO and chief
sustainability officer Alpaslan
Deliloglu says.
“In this way, as a pioneer in the field
of sustainable logistics, we want to
show that a transformation to zeroemission delivery is already possible
today.”
The fuel cell vehicles were
developed in collaboration with
Ballard Power Systems, the Canadian
global leader in fuel cell technology.
The entire process from feasibility
study to delivery took only 18
months, enabling the Quantron QLI
FCEV to hit the road in record time.
The innovative Quantron Inside
technology offers a user-friendly
complete package with innovative
e-axle, customised high-performance

battery, fuel cell and tank system
integration and unique energy
management and aerodynamics for
maximum efficiency.
One tank of fuel is sufficient for
a range of up to 400 km, allowing
distances of more than 500 km per
day.
“We are delighted that our longstanding collaboration with IKEA
has reached another level with
the launch of a new generation of
innovative Quantron products,”
Quantron AG founder and executive
chairman Andreas Haller says.
“The QLI FCEV is the first H2
vehicle in the fuel cell commercial
vehicle segment up to 7.5 t in Europe
and the market leader in fuel cell

technology in this class. We have
been supporting IKEA Austria on
its mission of decarbonisation since
August 2021.
“IKEA Austria has 45 QLI BEV
trucks in use in the greater Vienna
area and a further eleven in other
Austrian cities.”
The use of the battery electric
Quantron vehicles saves around
450 tons of CO2 annually. The
FCEV trucks have a longer range for
deliveries even outside urban areas
and are expected to reduce CO2
emissions by another 160 tons per
year.
By 2025, IKEA Austria plans to
make 100 per cent of its last-mile
deliveries emission-free.

Isuzu Australia has capitalised on its recent growth with the
appointment of a new national dealer sales manager

Murray O’Dea to the position of
National Dealer Sales Manager.
O’Dea replaces Craig White, who
stepped into the role of Head of Sales
earlier this year.
Isuzu says O’Dea brings
considerable experience to the
position with more than 30 years in
the heavy vehicle industry across
a diverse range of operations and

units, marking a new record and
its 34th consecutive year of truck
sales leadership. This year sees the
upwards trend continue with sales
increasing a further 7.4 per cent
(709 units) for Isuzu through to the
end of September 2023.
“With more than 70 locations in
operation, our dealers should all feel
extremely proud of their contribution
to the success of Isuzu in Australia;

a fantastic group of dedicated
dealers that want the best for their
customers, no matter how big or
small, and they will be my number
one priority,” O’Dea says.
“Every location and customer
requirement are different. You must

people in place but also the ability to
evolve with the times.
“I couldn’t be happier coming into
this role and I’m excited to see what
the future holds.”

and productivity with Australian
trucking customers and it’s a
privilege to be joining the UD team at
a time of unprecedented success for
the brand.

process for a new CEO, the Inland Rail
has appointed chair Robert Rust as
interim CEO and executive chair until
the position is filled.
With more than 40 years of
experience in the delivery of major
projects in both the private and public

Colour my world
Coming to grips with alternative fuels isn’t so simple
You can’t see hydrogen but you’re
going to hear a lot about its colour as
we consider alternatives to diesel fuel
in the months - and years - ahead.
As a fuel, hydrogen has a lot going
for it. When burned, each kilogram
contains 2.4 times as much energy
as natural gas and it emits no
greenhouse gas emissions.
The Federal Government’s
own Low Emissions Technology
statement sets a target of $2
Australian per kilogram. At the
moment, extracted hydrogen costs
twice that.
Pure hydrogen doesn’t just
magically appear. It must be
extracted from other things - like
water or fossil fuels.
In smokeless back rooms and
crowded conference venues
around the world, policymakers
are feverishly working on global
regulations and standards to allow
the trading of hydrogen as a fuel.
One of the things the experts do
is classify hydrogen on a colour
spectrum depending on the
emissions caused by its extraction
and refinement.
For example, “green” hydrogen,
extracted from water using
electricity, is considered the cleanest
and most pure form.
On the other hand, “brown”
hydrogen comes from the thermal
splitting of methane, and a byproduct is carbon in solid form.
“Grey” hydrogen is currently
the most common form - and the
cheapest.
While it doesn’t generate

Warren Clark,
CEO of the
National Road
Transport
Association

greenhouse gas emissions itself, the
process to produce it does.
It’s all very simple in theory, but
contentious in practice.
But that’s why we have things
called technical standards.
While green hydrogen may be the
gold standard to which everyone
should aspire, other types of
hydrogen are still useful in Australia
if we’re to move towards a clean
energy future without various
industries slamming to a sudden
halt.
The big picture is that trucks and
buses are globally responsible for
more than a third of on-road fuel and
greenhouse gases - and more than
70 percent on-road nitrogen oxides
that have serious health impacts.
In February, the European
Parliament voted to approve a new
law banning the sale of petrol and
diesel cars from 2035.
Decarbonisation isn’t just about
hydrogen. There are alternative
fuels in use overseas - like liquid
natural gas (LNG) and hydrotreated
vegetable oil (HVO).
We’re all aware that electric
batteries are bulky and consume
lots of payload. They are already

in use for short freight runs where
recharging facilities are available.
It could be that our industry
evolves to a mix of fuels depending
on the nature of the freight task.
For its part, the Federal
Government is aware of the need to
change steer axle mass and vehicle
clearance when introducing zero
emission vehicles.
Again, that’s where you need
standards and regulation.
It also has an Electric Vehicle
Strategy in place - although heavy
vehicles remain largely overlooked
in that document.
The Government is working
towards a decision about a national
emissions standard.
Don’t confuse that with the new
Euro VI emission standard. It’s
focused on removing particulates
and other nasties from the
atmosphere, which is unrelated to
greenhouse gas emissions.
It’s almost a mantra now that, when
it comes to decarbonising our heavy
vehicle industry, there is lots of work
to do.
As an industry, we need the
policymakers to thoroughly
understand the realities of
converting heavy vehicles to net
zero.
Purchasing a truck is a massive
investment, regardless of the size
of the operator involved. Given
the uncertainties involved, it’s
understandable that many are
putting off making that investment
decision until there’s clarity from
policy-makers.

South Australia’s Premier Peter
Malinauskas was on hand to officially open
CHEP’s latest service centre at Direk

Premier opening
A high tech freight site in South Australia will combine food
production with enhanced supply chain capabilities
South Australian premier Peter
Malinauskas has officially opened a
new high-tech custom built 12,000
square metre CHEP Service Centre
at Direk in the City of Salisbury,
Adelaide.
The 5.6-hectare site combines two
existing CHEP sites into one; further
supporting farmers, producers,
fishers, food manufacturers and
winemakers in the southern
Australian region and provides
businesses with CHEP’s full suite
of reusable supply chain platforms
including timber and plastic pallets,
reusable plastic containers and
produce bins.
Located off the Northern
Expressway and North South
Motorway, the multiple platformsite was purpose built for CHEP by
national property developer Gibb
Group and represents the latest
significant investment in the fastgrowing Direk business and industrial
precinct.
According to the City of Salisbury,
more than 4,000 individuals are
employed within the industrial area of
Direk and Burton and these precincts
contributed over half a billion dollars
to the South Australian economy
during the 2020/21 period.
“The investment by CHEP and Gibb
Group in South Australia is testament
to the opportunity for growth that
businesses have identified in our state
driving job creation and economic
growth in the region,” Malinauskas
says. “The new CHEP Service
Centre is strategically located in the

Direk industrial precinct. Direk is
fast becoming a regional logistics
hub, well-connected to intermodal
transport routes, delivering
efficiencies and enhancing South
Australia’s supply chain and logistics
capabilities.”
The Direk CHEP Service Centre
is the second project that national
property developer Gibb Group
has been involved in delivering for
CHEP (the first being the 10,000
square metre CHEP Service Centre in
Kenwick WA completed in 2020) and
incorporates cutting-edge repair and
automation technology, nail rollers
and digital quality checkers with the
capacity to repair approximately four
million pallets and wash six million
Bins and Containers annually.
It also features best-practice
sustainability measures and
technology including a 250kW

rooftop solar system, LED and motion
sensor lighting, rainwater harvesting
and reticulation system.
CHEP Australia general manager
Renee Holbrook says the new
facility has been designed to create a
seamless service for CHEP customers:
“We’re incredibly proud to open
CHEP’s newest facility, the Direk
Service Centre. The design is centred
around creating an outstanding

Port pioneers
The Port of Melbourne is celebrating a new level of sustainability
Port of Melbourne (PoM) has been
ranked first among Australian and international ports in the 2023
Global Real Estate Sustainability
Benchmark (GRESB) Infrastructure
Asset Assessment.
PoM scored 99 out of 100 while
also receiving a 5-star GRESB rating
for a second consecutive year.
GRESB’s Infrastructure Asset
Assessment is the leading
environmental, social and
governance benchmark for
infrastructure investments across
the world.
Port of Melbourne CEO Saul
Cannon says the result is recognition
of PoM’s commitment to embed
sustainability in the business and

PoM’s collaborative approach to
working with the port supply chain
and other stakeholders to progress
sustainability initiatives.
“As a vital freight hub for southeastern Australia, we have an
opportunity to not only take action
in our own operations but to lead and
facilitate the decarbonisation of the
supply chain,” Cannon says.
“We have identified both traditional
and collaborative areas where we
can add value and are adapting our
approach to do so – be it emissions
reduction, stakeholder engagement,
exploring alternative fuels or
financing.
“This result highlights our
comprehensive approach and our

commitment to sustainability.”
The result is the latest of many
sustainability milestones and
activities at PoM, including the
endorsement of a net zero target by
2030, the completion of a $475 million
sustainability linked loan and recent
work to embed sustainability into its
developments and operations.
Cannon says PoM is working
towards a more sustainable port for
the benefit of the Australian economy
and the liveability of Melbourne.
“Sustainability is important to
support the Port’s efficient 24/7
operations and grow the Port to meet
the increasing trade requirements
of south-eastern Australia,”
Cannon says.

Scan’s South Korea move
A new acquisition will see Scan Global Logistics continue to expand into South Korea
Global freight forwarded Scan
Global Logistics (SGL) has
announced it is acquiring a
long-term partner as it expands
its global reach by entering into
the South Korean market.
The company is pressing forward
with its ambitious global growth
strategy, acquiring ENK Logistics,
who has been a trusted long-term
partner since 2006.
With this latest move, SGL says it
is now gaining a strong foothold in
South Korea.
As a G20 economy, SGL says
South Korea holds a pivotal and
well-established position in the
trade markets of Southeast Asia and
beyond with a business-friendly and
efficient regulatory environment.
The establishment of Scan
Global Logistics South Korea marks
another milestone in the growth of
SGL´s Pacific region, following the
acquisitions of Pioneer International
Logistics (Australia) in 2020
and Orbis Global Logistics (New
Zealand) in 2021.
SGL Pacific Region CEO Søren
Madsen says this acquisition aligns
with SGL’s strategy to be present in
the largest economies worldwide.
“For 18 years, ENK has been a great
partner, offering local solutions
and high-quality services to SGL’s

customers in South Korea,” Madsen
says.
“With their unwavering
commitment, meticulous attention
to detail, and well-established
network, we are a perfect match, and
it feels very natural to welcome ENK
to our company.”
Now, SGL actively operates in 50
countries globally, representing
substantial progress from its
presence in 17 countries in 2016.
“We have been doing business in
South Korea for many years already,
but it will be different to operate
under our own brand with new
colleagues that we know are offering
the same high standard service to
customers, that we do ourselves.
We are confident ENK represents a

perfect fit with SGL DNA and our
way of working,” SGL global CEO
Allan Melgaard says.
ENK Logistics owners Hoe Jick
(Erick) Yang and Kwon Jik (Kevin)
Yang say that joining SGL will help
the brand leverage synergies from
both companies in the future.
“We are already well-positioned
in a highly competitive and
robust market in South Korea,
and our collaborative efforts will
enhance our local expertise and
knowledge,” they say.
“This benefits our existing
customers, who will now gain
access to an extensive global
network, expanded offerings,
and significant business
opportunities.”

Singapore sling
Border Express has been acquired by a major global logistics player
Singapore Post Limited (SingPost)
has announced that, through
subsidiary Freight Management
Holdings (FMH), it has acquired pallet
and parcel distribution operator
Border Express.
In a sale worth $210 million, the
Australian business has become part
of SingPost’s expanded integrated
logistics network in Australia.
With a presence across every
Australian state and territory, Border
Express has comprehensive freight
connectivity, warehouses and
regional centres, providing end-toend interstate logistics services.
With a network of 16 facilities, a
fleet of more than 700 vehicles and a
dedicated team of 1,300 employees,
SingPost says Border Express has
established itself as a reliable partner
to more than 3,000 clients from
across industries, including large
retail and consumer brands.
Upon completion, Border
Express will join the transportation
companies held under the FMH
Group umbrella, including the GKR
Transport, Niche Logistics, BagTrans,
Formby Logistics and Spectrum
Transport.

The acquisition comes just weeks
after Border Express announced it has
invested $13 million into cutting-edge
fleet upgrades around Australia. With
a range of new trucks involved in this
investment, Border Express has been
looking to enhance its sustainability
and efficiency.
Over the past three years, SingPost
has expanded its operations in
Australia with the FMH Group and
CouriersPlease. This transaction
aligns with SingPost’s strategic
ambition to expand its logistics
network and foster synergy within
its Australian operations to deliver
enhanced value to its customers and
partners.
In addition to this transaction,
SingPost has reached agreement with
the remaining minority shareholders
of FMH to take its ownership to 100
per cent.
SingPost says the Australian
integrated logistics market is
estimated at more than $120
billion. With the acquisition of
Border Express, the revenues of the
enlarged FMH Group are expected
to exceed one billion Singapore
dollars. The expansion would further

enhance the FMH Group as a panAustralia national logistics player
in the country’s integrated logistics
landscape.
“FMH Group has built a sustainable
integrated logistics business
in Australia. This acquisition is
immediately accretive to earnings,
solidifies FMH as a leading logistics
provider, and continues the growth
and development of our Australian
operations,” SingPost Group CEO
Vincent Phang says.
“We look forward to welcoming
Border Express to the FMH Group
and SingPost Group family.”
FMH Group CEO Simon Slagter
says Border Express is “a highly
regarded transportation provider
throughout Australia”.
“Upon completion, the acquisition
will support FMH Group to realise
the vision of a new logistics
ecosystem where people and
physical assets are connected
through a ubiquitous technology
platform, enabling true supply chain
efficiency,” Slagter says.
The transaction is subject to
relevant statutory approvals and
other closing conditions.

For the love of Mack
Gregg Melrose has stuck solid with the very first truck he bought 25 years ago, an ’88 Mack
Valueliner that’s still paying its way on lighter duties, Alex Catalano writes. Images by Simon Gould.
Walk past the proud 20,000sqm lot of
Melrose Cranes and Rigging in
Sydney’s western suburbs and you
might catch a glimpse of the
company’s labour of love. The mighty
black refurbished Mack R688
Valueliner, purchased all the way
back in 1998 and having been put to
work ever since, is a sight to behold.
For managing director Gregg
Melrose, the truck will always hold a
special place in his heart as the first
he ever bought.
After leaving school, Gregg first
plied his trade in the truck repair
industry. He worked with his uncle
fixing up damaged and smashed
trucks and trailers. But even after
moving into the world of cranes and
starting his own business, the Mack
has served as a reminder of where he
started in the transport industry.
“I’d always bought cars, but I’d never
bought a truck before even though
I’d driven every truck on the road-toroad test,” Gregg says.
“Brand new Kenworths, everything,

I’ve driven heaps, but I’ve never
actually bought one, but you’ve got to
crawl before you can walk.
“A bloke who was one of my
customers bought it at an auction
when it was three years old, and he
had it for seven years, pulling his drop
deck float around.
“Then he decided to retire and I said
don’t sell it to anyone else, I’ll buy it, I
need a prime mover. So, I bought it.
“I decided to spoil myself, because
I’ve had it for 25 years and I can’t bring
myself to sell it.”
The refurbishing process has
been a slow burn, as Gregg and an
assortment of workers across the
business doing bits and pieces to the
truck across the years.
While the Valueliner with its
12-speed ’box had been operating
as a prime mover for 15 years locally
around Sydney, he says it now lives a
decidedly “easier life”.
Gregg had the truck blown out in
Penrith to install a tray on it instead,
increasing its lifespan significantly

and lowering the load it must pull
around.
“It’s now 350hp pulling around an
eight-metre tray body rather than
pulling a 42.5 tonne gross load,” he
says.
“I decided to give it that birthday
and keep it longer.”
And while most of the truck has
been rebuilt from when he first got it,
Gregg can guarantee that the heads
have never been off in the 25 years he
has owned the Valueliner.
“Everything’s been out of it, but
have I rebuilt the engine? No.
“We’ll pull the cab off, we’ll pull the
bonnet off, we’ll pull the bull bar off.
Whenever he’s got spare time, the
panel beater will go over and play
with it,” he says.
“One of my guys who works on my
cranes, he’s a motor trimmer by trade.
He’d take a seat home and do the seat
squabs for one side and then two
months later he’d do the seat squabs
for the other side. There was no rush
to it.”

refurbished 1988 Valueliner and another

beasts, a 130 tonne GCM-rated 2019

Gregg is of the opinion however
that there is such a thing as changing
too much in a refurbishment, hence
the engine remaining. He sticks by a
saying we’ve all heard before – if it isn’t
broken, don’t fix it.
“My head mechanic, he’s a bit of
a truck nut. He’d be in there every
morning going ‘we have to change
these, change those, the accelerator
rods’, whatever.
“All those things are fine, but how
did it drive before you got in here?
He’d say, ‘good’, so I’d say, ‘what are we
fixing?’.
“We haven’t rebuilt it 100 per cent,
but it’s old. You’ve got aluminium
tanks, but you can’t buy them new,
you have to get them made.
“So I thought we’d do it a bit different,
let’s sandblast them and paint it black.”
While it is slow going, Gregg says
that the refurbishing process has
never felt like a chore for this special
Mack. The sentimentality it holds,
back to the very first days of the
business being founded, outweigh
anything else.
Reflecting on the growth of the
company, the truck has been there
through it all.
“Sure, we go and buy prime movers
and clean them up and blast them and
paint them but that’s not the same.
It’s the truck that can’t be sold,” Gregg
explains.
“So it’s now 35 years old, and just
generally goes to work every day.
Drives around the city, does 40 to
50km and then comes home again.
Touch wood, it’s a reliable truck.
“When I first started it was just me
with a very trusted partner, and we
bought half a truck, half a crane and
half a trailer each.
“Here we are 25 years later with 128
staff, 45 cranes, about 50 trailers, and
about 30 trucks. It’s been a long time,”
Gregg says.
“I started building trucks when I was
18 years old. It’s just about me being a
big softie.”

Safe-T-Cam shuffle
The NHVR has informed motorists of changes to a Safe-T-Cam location along
the Hume Highway
The National Heavy Vehicle
Regulator (NHVR) has announced
that the Transport for NSW Bargo
Safe-T-Cam located on the Hume
Highway has been moved to a new
location and will be activated from
this month.
The new camera will be relocated
to Douglas Park South overpass
(southbound) and Pheasants Nest
(northbound) five kilometres away
from the previous location.
The Safe-T-Cam detects and
provides data on heavy vehicle
incidents relating to vehicles that

are unregistered or uninsured, as
well as fatigue offences relating to
travel between two or more cameras.
The camera also provides
information on vehicles attempting
to avoid detection at camera sites
and heavy vehicles that fail to enter
inspection stations.
The Safe-T-Cam network is
part of the NHVR’s heavy vehicle
compliance program and is a
network of digital cameras that
monitor the movement of heavy
vehicles.
NHVR Director Central Region

Brett Patterson says the cameras
are a way to monitor the
movement of heavy vehicles
to ensure they comply with
registration requirements and their
work and rest obligations.
“The new location of the Safe
T-Cam at Douglas Park South
overpass (southbound) and
Pheasants Nest (northbound)
will have fixed signage installed
to alert heavy vehicle drivers of
the camera at both locations, to
ensure safety across the industry,”

In for the long haul
From humble beginnings in Victoria privately owned SCT has grown to the
multi-faceted logistics company of today
With Christmas on the horizon and
an abundance of freight to be shipped
the team at Altona-based SCT are in
the thick of their peak season.
After 49 years in the business the
skills required to move large volumes
of goods all around the country, by rail
or truck, are tattooed in the DNA of the
organisation. Planning is key.
So it is that as the business works
hard to deliver on its Christmas 2023
promises, its leaders also busy looking
ahead to 2024 and considering how
they might best mark the remarkable
milestone of 50-years in business.
It’s been an epic journey since 1974
when Peter Smith first opened the
doors of SCT in response to growing
demand for efficient container
transport to and from the ports in
Victoria.
What started with a vision to simply
do things better than the opposition,
has evolved into a multi-faceted
logistics operation servicing the east
and west coasts of Australia by rail
and road that now employs 1500 staff.
The business has grown from
moving shipping containers for
customers by trucks to where they
needed to be, to being the first private
rail operator in Australia to operate
between Melbourne and Perth,
linking east and west.
As its reach has grown, so too has
the need for real estate and SCT today
Glenn (CEO) and Geoff Smith (managing
director) of SCT with one of their trains

has warehousing, storage and rail
hubs situated across the country at
sites including Altona (Vic), Penfield
(SA), Bromelton (QLD), Minchinbury
(Sydney), Parkes (NSW), Forrestfield
(WA), Wodonga (Vic) and Horsham
(Vic).
The management of the company
has evolved too.
Peter’s sons Geoff and Glenn,
as managing director and CEO
respectively, have been guiding the
business from the top for the past 20
years.
Reflecting on the changes he has
been a part of Geoff says it ties back
to finding solutions that best service
customer needs.
“Over the years, SCT has acquired

land strategically located and with
direct rail access onto the Interstate
Network,” he says.
“The shared rail terminal model
requiring the cooperation amongst
competitors which SCT had to adopt
in those early days was a challenge.
As both train sizes and the number of
services grew, building and operating
our own terminals became a matter
of survival.”
Growing into all facets of the supply
business, including the warehousing,
has allowed SCT to grow and service
some its customers unique needs,
including the likes of Treasury Wine
Estates which has been the SCT
anchor ports, property, and logistics
model partner since 2014. Treasury

Feature
From the port, to warehousing and
on to the client, SCT has it covered

Wines have had two purposedesigned warehouses developed
in conjunction with SCT at SCT’s
Penfield site in South Australia.
With the industry projected to grow
domestically over the next few years
supply chain partners are being called
upon to be both agile and resilient.
As a business, SCT believes it has
invested wisely and is well placed
to grow its operations to cater for
increased customer demand and to
also step ahead in the sustainable
transport space where governments
are increasingly focusing their
attention.
Given recent climatic events that
caused network disruptions and
closures Geoff says SCT is buoyed by
the resilience investment going back
into the rail network.
In building its own terminals,
controlling a large fleet of equipment,
and having 60km of internal rail
line, SCT is able to run trains daily,
throughout the network. Its sites
have direct access to mainline rail
track, cross dock terminals, handling
areas, and internal rail infrastructure
allowing for the high-quality service
levels and a value for money
transport solution for its customers.
Geoff says he recognises the role not
only SCT can play, but the broader rail
industry can play in helping business
reduce carbon emissions within the
supply chain.
A big part of SCT’s DNA is
innovation. It has been investing
in state-of-the-art infrastructure
and assets year on year to remain
competitive and continually position
itself to meet capacity into the future.
Geoff says that a notable example
of recent times is the new intermodal
facility located within SCT ‘Altona
precinct”. In keeping with the aim of
being more sustainable, the building
was constructed with recycled
building materials, with features
such as electric vehicle charging, a
99kw solar panel system added to
the refrigeration area, solar hot water
units to the amenities areas, a
20,000l rainwater harvesting tank
and electric forklifts.

Another recent development
has involved SCT “insourcing” the
servicing of its fleet of locomotives
and opening a major workshop in
Adelaide, employing engineers and
diesel fitters, and constructing and
implementing a parts warehouse
operation.
“This initiative is about improving
our locomotive performance,
improving our service levels to our
customers and controlling our own
destiny,” Geoff says.
SCT has also moved into similar
space in Victoria, taking on
maintenance within its Altona
facility, only a few steps away from
the purpose built GEMCO Rail facility
which maintains SCT’s fleet of rail
rolling stock.
As the Altona site traffic increased,
SCT moved to reduce congestion,
adding a new eastern mainline
connection to create 1800m-long
departure and arrival rail roads
that have increased capacity and
productivity of rail at the site.
The company continues to invest
in the latest equipment, and so far
this year has added new rail rolling
stock, 25 rail platforms and a new
batch of 48’ temperature-controlled
containers. “It’s all about matching
the right container equipment to the
right purpose-built rail rolling stock –
it’s how we create efficiencies for our
customers,” Geoff says.

SCT also underwent a
comprehensive road fleet
replacement program for its sugar
haulage business with seven firstof-their-kind purpose-built quad
axle skel trailers approved under
Performance-Based Standards
(PBS). The vehicles provide payload
advantages, improved safety,
efficiencies, and a reduction of
environmental impact and have
removed 4,000 truck and trailer
movements off mostly country
roads used by local people.
Aside from planning a 50th
anniversary celebration of some
sort, SCT has plenty of projects on
the board for 2024 including the
introduction of a drop-pit and wheel
lathe at the maintenance site, new
technology for the rail operation
and more building in Perth where
it will expand its warehousing
capacity for ambient and
temperature controlled operations.
Geoff says there will also be a
locomotive upgrade to a part of the
train fleet.
With a determination to continue
looking after customers, end-toend in the supply chain, to hire
and keep the best people, and to
constantly innovate, Geoff says
SCT is “genuinely excited about the
year ahead and reflecting further
on what has been a remarkable 1st
50 years.”

Safety award winners
SRT Logistics and ABC Transport have plenty to celebrate this month
Transport operators SRT Logistics
and ABC Transport have both won
awards at Primary Connect’s 10th
annual Transport Safety Day.
Both companies were recognised
with Carriers of the Year awards
at an event held at Woolworths
Group’s head office last month with
more than 150 carrier partners
represented.
The two longstanding transport
partners of Primary Connect
were formally recognised for their
outstanding safety, compliance and
service.
SRT Logistics was named Large
Carrier of the Year, while ABC
Transport was awarded Small
Carrier of the Year.
“Our Primary Connect Carrier
of the Year Awards are a fantastic
opportunity for us to recognise
carriers that demonstrate the highest
level of service and outstanding
professionalism while reflecting

our own values and commitment to
safety,” Primary Connect+ director
Chris Brooks says.
“We are thrilled to present the award
to ABC Transport for the first time and
to SRT for the fourth time since the
inception of these awards, and the
second year in a row.
“We’re grateful to have such highquality partners supporting our
supply chain.”
SRT Logistics, as the Large Carrier
of the Year, has been working with
Primary Connect for more than 15
years.
With 370 employees transporting
roughly 375,000 pallets of goods
each year, SRT Logistics CEO Robert
Miller says he was humbled to win the
award multiple times.
“It takes a lot of hard work and
dedication from the team for both our
leaders and the broader team at SRT,”
Miller says.
“It’s their hard work and dedication

every day that makes a difference
to our business and the business of
Woolworths.”
ABC Transport, as Small Carrier of
the Year, was recently acquired by
Centurion after starting in 1998 out
of Alice Springs before becoming a
Primary Connect partner in 2017.
ABC Transport became a partner
due to Woolworths wanting to get
fresher produce into the northern
area of Australia with shorter
lead times.
“We’re full of pride for the fact that
we’ve done a good job and we’ve dealt
with a very important and prestigious
company to make the produce in
Darwin fresher and better for the
customers up there,” ABC Transport
CEO Jamie Eccleston says.
“We’re proud to offer Primary
Connect and Woolworths the security
and comfort of our highly maintained
and safe fleet. We look forward to our
continued partnership.”

Pressure on ports
All is not right when it comes to supply chains right now, especially through the ports
The COVID pandemic impacted the
transport sector in a myriad of ways.
Businesses ground to a halt. Freight
deliveries were severely affected,
with supermarket shelves often
left empty. This is just the tip of the
iceberg, as the aftershocks of COVID
are still finding new ways to
detriment Australian industries.
In the transport sector, port
productivity and supply chain delays
are the key symptoms of an ongoing
issue.
“Late last year we first started
seeing quite a bit of congestion at
Australian ports, especially along the
east coast,” RMIT University supply
chain expert Professor Vinh Thai told
ATN.
“There are several reasons for this

congestion, with a main symptom
being that lots of vehicles are coming
to Australian ports and are now
facing delays.”
For the past year, this has wreaked
havoc in several spheres of the
transport industry, including trucks,
buses, coaches and trains.
While vehicle manufacturers
move to fulfil full order books and
deliver products, long lead times and
extra costs related to supply chain
problems means it’s taking longer
than ever before and costing more to
complete deliveries.
A post-COVID surge in volumes
aboard cargo movements is
inundating ports and terminals all
around the world, but particularly
along Australia’s eastern seaboard.

Thai says the relaxing of both COVID
and trade restrictions has caused
this flood of ships arriving at ports
throughout this year.
For example, recent trade
restrictions between China and
Australia have been lifted, resulting
in larger quantities of import and
export volumes travelling between
the two countries.
For the years prior to 2023, COVID
caused a backlog in the global supply
chain. Now, the seatbelts are off and
the relaxed circumstances means
a surging volume of cargo is now
arriving at Australian ports each day.
When it comes to roll-on, roll-off
vessels that carry automobile traffic
such as trucks, an increase in traffic
is only slowing the time it takes to get

Feature

these new vehicles away from ports
and onto roads.
“A very important issue that is
impacting the industry is quarantine
and biosecurity requirements,” Thai
says.
“All cargo coming into Australia
must comply with our rules. When
the ships arrive, cargo is offloaded
and checked.
“When there’s then a shortage in
labour for boat activity, including
workers who offload the cargo
from ship to shore and biosecurity
checking staff, there’s a strain put on
port productivity, resulting in these
delays.”
In Thai’s experience throughout
2023 in particular, he says Australia’s
unique port environment through its
unions and industrial arms means
productivity issues are yet to be
fixed. This then has a flow-on effect,
creating a backlog of ships at major
ports that then results in lengthy
delays for deliveries.
Thai says this situation is
intensified at major ports such as
Melbourne, where shipping lines are
faced with even longer delays as the
port tries to reduce the time that ships
spend waiting to dock at the port.
“The ports want to make sure
certain ships spend less time waiting
for ports, meaning there’d be less
vessels sitting at the port,” he says.
“This adds to the multiplier effect,
with the lead time of receiving cargo
into shores becoming longer and
having an additional cost attached
to it.”
The way major Australian ports
work is through two main customers
in the shipping line and the cargo
owner. The shipping line serves the
shipper to ensure cargo arrives at
ports such as Melbourne, Brisbane or
Newcastle.
However, when they know they’re
going to face congestion at these
ports and will be forced into sitting
idle in a waiting area, shipping lines
lose money.
“If a ship is sailing at sea, then
shipping lines make money, but if it’s

standing still then they lose,” Thai
says.
“Depending on the size of the ship,
every day sitting idle costs them
money.
“Shipping lines have worked out
the total cost of waiting and instead
have begun skipping ports, heading
to nearby ports to offload cargo
before returning to their port of
origin.
“For them, the sooner they leave
an Australian port and head back,
the better it is for the shipping line, as
they can carry more cargo sooner.
It’s an economic analysis from their
perspective.”
From the shipper’s perspective,
they’re forced to pick up their cargo
from a different port then what
they initially planned. It’s another
supply chain problem to add onto
the entire equation that is causing
manufacturers and suppliers to
struggle to fulfil orders.
Work is slowly being done into
rectifying this issue.
Last year, the ACCC began
publishing reports into port
productivity issues in Australia, with
other voices such as Commonwealth
Bank and Shipping Australia also
following suit.
While ports can’t be optimised

by physically expanding space,
focus is instead on how to enhance
productivity at the ports to move
cargo through as quickly and as
safely as possible.
From Thai’s perspective, his
solution is all about planning ahead.
While demand and supply
problems still require future
fixing, he wants to see transport
companies work with suppliers
and overseas vendors to identify
any potential biosecurity risks and
address them before they leave
their port of origin, making the
quarantine process in Australia
quicker and easier.
“Planning is so important – we
have to plan to minimise the impact
of congestion within reason,” he
says. “Measures need to be put in
place from the port of origin before
cargo is even loaded onboard,
meaning there’s a collaboration
between the entire supply chain to
ensure Australian companies can
plan their own resources for the
import of cargo ahead of time.
“If you can spend more time over
at the original port to get the process
right, then the total time taken to
receive vehicles may be shorter
than the current scenario we’re
seeing.”

Volvo launches driver program
Volvo is encouraging and incentivising more women in the transport industry to drive trucks
Volvo Trucks Australia has teamed
up with Wodonga TAFE to launch
Iron Women, a driver training and
licensing program that is aimed
specifically at women.
The pilot program provides
vocational training and heavy
vehicle licensing to women of all
ages and backgrounds interested in
pursuing a career in road transport.
The three-module course covers
all facets of driver training from
compliance, fatigue management
and load restraint to initially
obtaining a Heavy Rigid (HR) licence.
On completion, the participants
will receive their Certificate III in
Driving Operations.
After 12 months on the job as a HR
driver, the participants will complete
their final module of training and
undertake their HC licence test.
“Iron Women programs have
successfully run around the world,”
Volvo Group Australia CEO and
president Martin Merrick says.
“We can see that the transport
industry is suffering from a
chronic shortage of skilled drivers.
Anecdotally, we can also see
that industry image also plays a

part when it comes to women
considering a career in road
transport.
“We hope programs like these may
help shift the dial on the traditional
driver stereotypes and show that a
career behind the wheel can be both
fulfilling and rewarding.”
In its initial stages, 11 candidates
from five transport companies and
three states will be participating,
with the only prerequisites being
that they’re employed by a transport
company and have a desire to take
on a driving role.
Team Global Express, Southeast
Queensland Hauliers, John West
Logistics, JATEC and Nolan’s
Interstate Transport will be taking
part in the program.
One fully funded spot was also
offered to a Tasmanian based
candidate.
“Wodonga TAFE is delighted to
be a partner in the Volvo Trucks
Iron Women Training Program,”
Wodonga TAFE CEO Phil Paterson
says.
“This extends industry specific
capability and support to women
entering the road transport

industry. A fantastic collaborative
partnership underpinned by our
joint commitment to fostering an
inclusive and diverse educational
environment, equipping participants
with the future skills for success in
heavy vehicle industry.”
Participants will complete two
weeks of classroom theory at
Wodonga TAFE’s Barnawartha Vic
Logic Campus and will be followed
by one week of on road heavy vehicle
in a Volvo FL Electric rigid and a
counterweighted Volvo FH 500 I-Save
prime mover.
Guest speakers during the program
include Melissa Weller from Heathy
Heads in trucks and Sheds, Heather
Jones, Pilbara Heavy haulage Girls
and Kerri Connors, a former tanker
driver turned mental health advocate
with rural and industry not-for-profit
RAWTAS.
“We see time and time again in our
own business that diverse teams thrive,
whether it be on the shop floor or in our
own headquarters,” Merrick says.
“To see that sort of diversity
reflected in our future transport
industry would be a fantastic
outcome.”

Alternative fuel focus
The VTA has held its second Alternative Fuels Summit to help operators
understand what lays ahead of them in their sustainability journey
The Victorian Transport
Association (VTA) has recently
hosted its second Alternative Fuel
Summit to assist freight industry operators and suppliers prepare for a
future that is sure to be significantly
less reliant on fossil fuels and, over
time, more likely to be powered by
renewable energy.
Under the theme of
Decarbonisation for the Road
Transport Industry – Next Steps,
close to 200 delegates heard from
more than a dozen experts from
industry, academia, government,
regulators and suppliers on the latest
technology, policy and regulation
on energy consumption, alternative
fuels, hydrogen and electric vehicles.
The program was designed
around the four pillars of Targets and
Regulation, Alternative Fuel Sources,
Equipment and the Commercial
Realities of Alternative Fuels, with
presenters giving their time and
expertise to help delegates on their
decarbonisation journey.
“The road transport industry
is now firmly on a path towards
decarbonisation as jurisdictions in
Australia and around the world start
to reduce their reliance on fossil fuels,”
VTA CEO Peter Anderson says.
“This is what inspired our inaugural
summit last year, as transport

operators are at various stages of
decarbonising but are eager to
understand where and how to start
the journey.
“Decarbonisation can be a difficult
concept for operators to get their
minds across but it’s important that
they do because the low and no
carbon future is already upon us.”
Anderson says that accepting the
reality of climate change and the
importance of decarbonising is an
important step, but it is the pathway
towards transition that is the most
difficult part of the journey for
industry to navigate.
“We have targets from governments,
but we have little assistance and
no definitive direction that can be
implemented based upon current

expectations around cost reductions,”
Anderson says. “Operators need
better certainty to make confident
decisions and investments, and the
information presented at the summit
will really help to inform their journey
towards decarbonisation.”
Delegates heard from
representatives from the University
of Melbourne, Swinburne University,
Freight Victoria, Viva Energy
Australia, Lochard Energy, HAMR
Energy, NewVolt, Hino, Volvo Group,
Daimler Trucks, Hyzon, Sustainable
Vehicle Solutions, Team Global
Express, Australia Post, DHL and
Crown Coaches.
The Summit was sponsored by
CMV Truck & Bus and Viva Energy
Australia.

Viva Energy’s sustainability push
Viva Energy has unveiled the new sustainability carbon offsetting program that
will soon come to Shell Card
Viva Energy has announced that a
new opt-in program will allow Shell
Card customers to achieve emissions
reduction and sustainability goals
by offsetting the emissions involved
with fuel purchases.
The new Opt-in Carbon Neutral
Products Program will be available to
all Shell Card customers starting early
next year.
As part of the program, Viva Energy
purchases and retires eligible carbon
credits from domestic projects
(Australian Carbon Credit Units), and
a selection of international projects.
Customers can choose to offset
with 100 per cent Australian units
or a combination of Australian and
international units.
Viva Energy Chief Business
Development and Sustainability
Officer Lachlan Pfeiffer says the new
opt-in program is a way for Shell Card

customers to meet sustainability
targets in an immediate and practical
manner.
“Direct emission reductions are
not always available immediately,
and carbon offsets are a way of
achieving lower net-carbon outcomes
quickly and efficiently – particularly
for businesses operating in sectors
that are harder to abate and where
technological pathways to lower
emissions are likely to take some time
to be commercial,” Pfeiffer says.
“This is an excellent interim
solution for businesses looking to
take meaningful action to offset
their emissions while supporting
projects with positive environmental,
economic and social benefits.”
Carbon offsets can contribute
to global efforts to combat climate
change by helping to reduce overall
carbon outcomes through investment

in projects that capture or reduce
emissions, such as reforestation,
renewable energy and methane
capture from landfill.
Viva Energy says Shell Card is one of
the simplest and most straightforward
fuel cards available – like a credit
card for all your fuel purchases that is
accepted at more than 1,300 locations
across Australia; all Shell service
stations, Shell Coles Express, Liberty
or Westside sites.
Backed by more than 50 years’
experience, Shell Card assists
businesses by helping with the
management of fuel costs and the
streamlining of processing tasks at
tax time.
The Opt-in Carbon Neutral
Products Program is established and
maintained by Viva Energy Australia
alone. Shell has no involvement or
responsibility in the program.

DAF GETS

Rolling

Paccar Australia has taken the cab-over XG DAF and
married it to the most advanced big bore truck engine ever
created by Cummins

t is more than a tad possible that in the
annals of Australian truck production
and more specifically, in the bulging
story book of product development at
Paccar Australia, the launch next year of
DAF’s XG and flagship XG+ models will
mark a milestone moment.

An enhanced image
of the XG+ interior.
Enhanced or not, the
fit and finish appears
excellent

That moment when the corporate
cohesion of global powerhouses Paccar
and Cummins, and a critical yet hard-won
concession from the Federal Government to
change a stifling design rule, came together
to mark a dramatic, evolutionary shift in the
scale and scope of trucks for the Australian
market.
While it’s still six months or more before
the new DAFs are formally launched here, it’s
inevitable that the XG and the taller XG+ will
be the first entirely new models to enter the
Australian market following years of urging
by major truck suppliers for the Federal
Government to increase the width limit of
new trucks from 2.5 to 2.55 metres.
The government’s agreement finally
came on September 28 in a statement from
Senator Carol Brown, Assistant Minister for
Infrastructure and Transport. Appropriately

perhaps, whether by chance or choice,
the celebratory photo issued along with
Senator Brown’s statement was snapped
outside Paccar Australia’s Bayswater (Vic)
headquarters with the upcoming XG+
flagship providing a bold backdrop.
Not surprisingly, the government’s
concession comes with strings attached,
defined in the senator’s statement as new
trucks to be equipped with ‘devices to
reduce blind spots, electronic stability
control, advanced emergency braking, a
lane departure warning system,’ etcetera,
etcetera. Of course, none of these ‘strings’
are an issue for the new DAFs which, like all
top-shelf continental cab-overs these days,
bristle with a full suite of advanced safety
features as standard equipment.
“These changes will be a real game
changer for the industry,” the senator
commented, adding that the government’s
decision, “responds to direct calls from
industry to increase the width limit of
trucks.” Moreover, it’s highly likely that
among the most insistent in providing
government with ‘direct calls’ over the past
three years or so was Paccar Australia and its

New DEALS

director of product planning, Ross Cureton.
Seated in the Bayswater boardroom
alongside chief engineer Brad May, sales
and marketing director Michael Long and
marketing manager Ryan Hooper, it seemed
a somewhat relieved Ross Cureton who
remarked that after six years of intense
planning and engineering development
spanning the global networks of Paccar and
Cummins, the government’s decision came
as something of a belated bonus in preparing
the new DAFs for the Australian market.
After all, as both Ross Cureton and Brad
May asserted, the DAF XG program was
going ahead with or without the width
increase. Sure, the 2.55 metre ruling vastly
enhances the viability and practicality
of the exercise simply because it accepts
Europe’s standard cab width and, in so doing,
cancels Australia’s archaic requirement for a
50mm narrower cab width. Still, there were
significantly more critical factors at play than
years of waiting in limbo for a government
decision.
Indeed, it was about six years ago that the
stars started to align for Paccar Australia’s
long-held ambition to take DAF to a whole

new level in this country. First, there were
already secret details of a massive project to
develop an entirely new range of premium
DAF models for the European market. Then,
around much the same time came quiet
insights of a radical project by engine giant
Cummins to create a highly advanced
15 litre engine, physically smaller and
considerably lighter than its existing X15
offering yet punching outputs up to 660hp
and 3200Nm (2300lb-ft) of torque.
It is, consequently, easy to imagine the
brains trust within Bayswater starting to
put these exciting prospects together and
subsequently formalising a plan to gain
corporate approval for what would be a
dynamic bid to take DAF where it has never
been before in the Australian market: that is,
the top tiers of heavy-duty competition.
After all, and even in the most simplistic
view, these new creations from DAF
and Cummins were the platforms for
something very special and hugely unique
in the Paccar world. Something beyond
anything Paccar Australia had previously
achieved despite decades of home grown
achievements and most vitally, something

Paccar Australia’s
director of product
planning, Ross Cureton.
Developing the DAF XG
for Australia has been a
global project

The first XG+ on display at the
Brisbane Truck Show. Never
has there been such interest
and excitement in a DAF
model for our market

Thumbs up all-round for the longawaited government decision
to increase the cab width limit
to 2.55 metres. Senator Carol
Brown is front and centre with
the new DAF XG+ providing an
appropriate backdrop

to spearhead DAF’s emergence from the
fringes of Australia’s heavy-duty ranks
to a level which at the very least, would
challenge every premium player in the
continental cab-over class.
As sales and marketing director Michael
Long explained, in the current heavy-duty
market there are around 1200 European
cab-over trucks of 600hp or more being sold
annually. Right now, DAF has no presence
in that sector of the market, a void Paccar
Australia is particularly eager to end.
In effect, these new models are DAF’s
springboard into the big time but of course,
not before all the boxes for a barnstorming
arrival are ticked and re-ticked. As a succinct
Brad May put it, “We’re busy. Very busy.”

High regard
Launched in Europe in the middle of a
COVID-constrained market in 2021, DAF’s
‘New Generation’ XF, XG and XG+ models
were nonetheless quick to gain accolades
and orders, and by the time of Germany’s
all-encompassing Hanover Truck Show in
2022, DAF principals were loud and proud in
spruiking the brand’s ascension to the top of
continental sales charts.
However, the biggest engine in DAF’s
European stable is the 12.9 litre MX-13 which
powers the current XF model. Australia
needed more and of course, the new 15 litre
Cummins was the key, not only because
of its greater grunt and lighter weight but
also its smaller physical dimensions to fit
comfortably under the new cabs.
Thus, behind the scenes in Europe,
engineers and component specialists at DAF
headquarters in the Netherlands were fully
engaged with their Australian counterparts
and likewise, Cummins’s senior technical
people in Europe and Australia. Obviously,
the new trucks had gone through years of
extreme testing prior to launch and so, too,
had Cummins put a huge effort into ensuring
the durability of the engine which had
become broadly known as the M15.
However, testing and validating the engine
for Australian conditions were essential, with
Cummins Australia undertaking detailed
field tests of engines in the Kenworth K200s

New DEALS

of several leading customers before the
arrival and subsequent on-road evaluations
of the first DAF XG+ trial units.
Yet the engines in the DAFs differ in a
number of ways to those first installed in
Kenworths. For starters, they’re coupled to
ZF’s hugely successful and highly intuitive
Traxon automated transmission rather than
the usual Cummins coupling to an Eaton
’box. Of a less technical nature but certainly
imparting the message that the new DAFs
are first and foremost a Paccar product, the
engines are painted black instead of the
usual Cummins red, and like the MX-13,
topped with a rocker cover boldly stamped
‘Paccar’.
Whether or not the new Cummins is
marketed as an MX-15, well, time will tell. And
whether or not Cummins was entirely happy
about the colour and branding change of
its latest and possibly greatest truck engine
is unknown. Either way, both matters now
seem something of a moot point.
Yet with its local evaluation program
in full swing, Paccar Australia was keen

Night moves. One of four DAF
XG trial units running around
the clock at full B-double
weights. All four will be
soon working in real world
conditions with various fleets

As our exclusive report revealed
early this year, the new Cummins
15 litre engine was first trialled
in Kenworth K200s. However, in
the DAF XG it’s painted black and
stamped ‘Paccar’

Short ’n sweet. Our
exclusive drive in the
DAF XG+ highlighted an
exceptional standard of
build quality and smooth
road manners. We’re
already keen for a much
longer run

to gauge market reaction and shelved its
normally secretive protocols to put one of
the new DAFs front and centre on its stand
at the Brisbane Truck Show earlier this
year. To say the new truck was a standout
attraction would be an understatement of
major proportion, thrilling and surprising
Paccar insiders with levels of interest from
customers and show goers never before
experienced for the DAF brand in this
country.
As for us, we were keen as seagulls on a
chip to get behind the wheel.

Again though, there was still plenty of
work to do. As Ross Cureton put it, “pulling all
the threads together” to ensure each aspect
of the new generation DAF was specifically
tailored to the Australian market.
With six months or more still to go before
the official launch, the intensity to streamline
and evaluate every detail of the specification
has not waned in the slightest according to
Bayswater insiders, with four fully imported
trial units running around-the-clock before
being prepared for real world work with
several prominent fleets. Meanwhile, by

New DEALS

the time this report appears the first locally
assembled XGs will have already rolled off
the Bayswater line.
Fortunately, after months of haggling and
hope on our part, Paccar agreed to a short
but highly exclusive drive in a trial unit
coupled to a fully loaded B-double curtainsider, grossing upwards of 62 tonnes.
Of course, a stint of 100km or so on
Melbourne freeways and suburban arterials
is hardly a definitive sample but the privilege
of being handed the reins of a critical new
model driven by less than a handful of
‘outsiders’, and particularly a model with so
much at stake for its creators, was not taken
lightly. Perhaps most strikingly though,
the exercise signalled Paccar’s burgeoning
confidence and on first impressions, the
confidence is definitely not misplaced.
Typifying the new model’s initial
specification, the XG+ trial truck sat on a
3.9 metre wheelbase and carried a gross
combination mass rating of 97 tonnes.
Importantly, it also carried fuel and AdBlue
capacities of 1200 litres and 130 litres
respectively.
Underneath was the 660hp version of
the new Cummins (a 600hp rating with
3000Nm\2212lb-ft of torque is also likely
to be offered) stirring through a 16-speed
ZF Traxon automated transmission into a
Meritor drive tandem on Paccar’s Airglide
rear suspension, and with disc brakes allround.
From any angle, the external styling is
modern and clean with rounded corners
and curved roofline clearly indicating DAF's
close attention to aerodynamic detail, not
least with the truck’s optional fitment of
external cameras and internal screens in
place of standard glass mirrors. Wisely, as
Brad May confirmed from inside the cab,
glass mirrors will “definitely” be the norm
and cameras the option.
With a set-back front axle, it’s an easy
climb into the cab on well-placed steps
and throughout, inside and out, build
quality appears first-rate. True, time in the
truck was short, but it didn’t take long to be
familiar with the digital dash layout, major
switchgear and control functions, as well as
form an appreciation for the roominess and
appointments of the high-rise XG+ cab.
Have no doubt, in features and finish
the XG+ has all the trappings of a top-shelf
truck, including a generous and electrically
adjustable bed.

Meantime, there’s a polite, reassuring hum
from the new Cummins which does more
than just hint at a fine mix of manners and
muscle. Most notably though, the level of
throttle response is extraordinarily sharp.
Quite simply, it’s a smaller engine with a
bigger bite and according to Paccar’s people,
early indications suggest a healthy regard for
fuel efficiency.
That’s enough for now. After all, it was a
short drive and it’s still early days. Very early,
and so much hinges on the durability and
efficiency of the new engine.
But this much is already certain: XG
represents a major cultural shift for Paccar
Australia and there will be no shortcuts in
achieving the goal to not only put DAF on a
far higher heavy-duty mantle but equally,
forge a foundation to take the brand and the
company into a broader competitive realm.
Similarly certain, this will not be our last
report on the new DAF before its official
launch next year. In fact, the likelihood is that
a much longer run will be provided over the
next month or so.
Stay tuned!

public support, this event has grown from
a few trucks paying tribute to fallen fellow
drivers to a massive memorial weekend.

DEALS tribute

This year's event was not just the 20th
anniversary, it was also one of the event’s
best-ever turnouts.
When I speak of the success of the 2023
event, I don’t want to focus just on the
numbers involved. Whichever way you
look at it, having nearly 700 trucks inside
the Gatton Showgrounds is a huge statistical
success. I also don’t want to just focus on the
amazing names that were putting on a show
for the huge crowd on Saturday. Country
rock band The Road Hammers from Canada,
plus The Open Season Band, Natalie Pearson
and the amazing Hayley Jenson – that lady
can sing! Those guys just tore the roof off the
place, metaphorically speaking. Obviously, it
was an outdoor concert so there was no roof.
But if there was, it would have been torn off.
What I consider the barometer of success
for this year's show was the turnout of the
general public from both ends of the convoy.
For those who have been living under a

rock and aren’t aware of how the Lights On
the Hill convoy works, there are actually two
convoys. One leaves from Brown & Hurley’s
Toowoomba branch and another leaves from
Carole Park in Brisbane.
The Toowoomba convoy comprised of
nearly 200 trucks coming down garden city’s
bypass, tooting and hollering all the way.
The Brisbane convoy took up the remaining
500-odd trucks and snaked its way out of
the Carole Park industrial estate, down the
Ipswich Motorway and out onto the Warrego
Highway.

The coolness factor wasn’t just
limited to the convoy, even
the spectators turned up with
some sharp rides

The was plenty of spectacular
company convoys rolling in
at both ends, like the Metcalf
team up in Toowoomba

Land Transport is another huge supporter of Lights On The Hill.
This year they rolled out nearly 20 of their best for the event

I’m not sure who this awesome Star belongs to but it was
great to see old girls like this out paying their respects

Bear Bolen took a minute to
share his story with me. Bear
(yes, that is his legal name)
has been behind the wheel
for nearly 50 years. Bear was
paying tribute to two old
mates at the convoy. Dale
‘Fender Bender’ Johnston
had been his best man but
lost his life in an accident back
in 2000. The other name is
Poppa Smurf who worked the
airwaves at the Woolgoolga
radio base where he and his
wife would help pass on road
reports to all the truckies

Once the trucks were
parked up it then
became time for the
family to get in and
make some noise

102

This year I made a concerted effort to get to
both ends of the convoy and was absolutely
blown away by the number of people filling
in every possible vantage point along the
convoy route, including the streets around
the starting points of the convoys and the
arrival route into Gatton.
There were hundreds of people parked up

and waving like mad all along the highway
as well. It was an incredible show of support.
People had their gazebos out, eskies were
open and deck chairs were in abundance.
There were parents and kids from all walks of
life frantically pulling the airhorn arm pump
and Australian flags of all sizes being waved
in support.

me for ages to come over
and this year I just decided I
need to,” Ian says. It’s Luke’s

for trucks, only retiring seven
years ago at the age of 81

Paying tribute
As popular and supported as this event is, it
is still a memorial weekend and remains a
difficult time for all those involved. Whether
they are carrying a loved one’s banner on the
front of a truck or whether they are seeing
a loved one's name added to the wall on
Sunday’s memorial service at Lake Apex
Park in Gatton. It is a humbling time for all
involved.
Many of those I spoke to however admit
that they truly enjoy the Lights On The
Hill convoy as they get to celebrate some
amazing people and, most importantly, they
get to remember and memorialise them. For
that, they also thank the organisers. Many
also pointed out how amazed at the show of

support from the general public with several
saying ‘it’s often a thankless industry but
seeing that kind of support was uplifting’.
Big congratulations need to go to the
Lights On The Hill team and the countless
volunteers who once again did an amazing
job. From the registration at the convoy
assembly points to those who spoke so
eloquently and held it together so well at the
memorial on Sunday, and the volunteers
who somehow managed to successfully park
nearly 700 trucks and others who kept the
crowds flowing freely through the turnstiles –
a big congratulations!
That’s has been enough waffle – enjoy the
photos and let’s start getting the trucks ready
for the 2024 Light on the Hill Convoy.

Mighty

Potent performance, thrifty fuel efficiency and a
bucketload of cabin space is on offer with
Mercedes-Benz 2663 GigaSpace model

109

bsence, I’ve heard it said, makes the
heart grow fonder. Well, as a romantic
notion that’s probably true, but when it
comes to trucks competing in an industry
ruled more by the head than the heart,
absence can have a tendency to foster
more forgetfulness than fondness.

Truly a sweet truck on
the road, around-town
or highway haulin’

110

Take, for example, a recent day-long
stint in a Mercedes-Benz 2663 B-double
combination, ostensibly to sample the
features of the new GigaSpace cab and a
swag of hi-tech options.
Obviously enough, the ’63 is the big boy of
the Benz bunch and this exercise certainly
wasn’t our first time at the helm of the
flagship model since the Australian launch
of the new generation Actros in 2016. Far
from it, but it had been three years or more
since our last run and with so many different
makes and models driven in the interim, it’s
easy to concede that a few fundamentals
about the biggest Benz had slipped out of the
memory bank.
Like just what a smooth, strong,
comfortable and well-mannered machine
it is, with arguably the most fuel-efficient

powertrain in the big bore class. True, it’s a
high climb into the towering cab and lovers
of lavishly large sleepers may well whine
about the Benz bunk (even though it still
ranks among the best in the continental
class) but from behind the wheel, the driver’s
den is ideally designed due in no small part
to an information and control layout which,
despite major concessions to the digital
age, remains entirely practical and quickly
familiar.
In function and finish, comfort and class,
muscle and manners, there has been a lot
to like about this current Benz crop right
from the start, and not least in the two 16 litre
ratings headed by the powerhouse 2663.
Yet there is, of course, more to the new range
than these models alone and MercedesBenz’s rise on the heavy-duty sales charts
in the first few years after the new line-up’s
launch was no surprise to anyone who had
done distance in any of the 11, 13 or 16 litre
versions.
Moreover, after suffering a decade and
more in the sales doldrums with the
original Actros, Mercedes-Benz’s dark days

New DEALS

continued to dissolve into distant memory
as the new breed steadily built a formidable
reputation across the heavy-duty sector.
At the close of 2019, for instance, Benz had
delivered a whisker under 1000 units,
accounting for almost eight per cent of that
year’s heavy-duty haul.
Yet the best was still to come. Despite
the COVID crash of 2020, Mercedes-Benz’s
stake increased to almost nine per cent,
catapulting the brand to fourth place in
the heavy-duty sector, bettered only by
entrenched market masters Kenworth, Volvo
and Isuzu. Then in 2021, the stars further
aligned to not only retain Mercedes-Benz’s
fourth spot on the heavy-duty ladder but
also notch a new sales record for the brand
with the delivery of more than 1200 trucks.
Golden days indeed.
But in 2022 the COVID calamity caught
up with Mercedes-Benz and the timing
could not have been worse as early
results revealed the brand’s inability to
take advantage of a breathtaking boom in
truck sales. In stunningly quick time and
despite an extremely popular model range,

Mercedes-Benz came off the boil.
It seemed the bullet performer of the
previous few years had run out of ammo;
which was, in effect, exactly what happened
as supply lines from Europe imploded
and Mercedes-Benz simply couldn’t meet
the record-breaking rush for new trucks.
Ultimately, Benz finished the biggest year in
Australian truck sales history with a modest
5.4 per cent of the sector from the delivery of
814 units.
No doubt making matters gallingly worse
for those inside the Benz camp was the
slide down to sixth place on the ladder,
comfortably overtaken by Scania and a
rocketing UD.
The first six months of a similarly bountiful
2023 weren’t any better, with the brand
notching just 5.2 per cent of the heavy-duty
business on the delivery of 450 units and in
the process sliding further down the ladder
to seventh spot. Likewise, sales figures in the
back half of this year haven’t done much to
signal an imminent turnaround.
After such a strong start in the first five
years of the new line-up’s life ‘Down Under’,

111

the slide to market mediocrity obviously
hasn’t sat well and arguably enduring the
angst, even annoyance, more than most
is the vice president of Mercedes-Benz’s
Australian operation, Andrew Assimo.

The biggest assets of the
GigaSpace cab are more
than two metres of standing
room between the seats,
considerably more storage
space, a good driving layout
and impressive build quality.
Simply, there’s a lot to like

112

Positive outlook
The lanky, likeable Assimo is by his own
definition, ‘a Benz tragic’. He lives and breathes
the brand and his appointment to the top job
at Mercedes-Benz in early 2020 (just as COVID
kicked in) was widely welcomed and seen
by many as a deserved reward for not only
his passion and engineering knowledge of
the product, but his staunch determination to
fulfill the brand’s ultimate potential.
However, as the pandemic and subsequent
commercial circumstance would soon
enough decree, the executive honeymoon
was short-lived and it is perhaps a strange
and somewhat harsh irony that both Assimo
and his predecessor Michael May, now
managing director of Iveco Australia, are
each equally intent on regaining lost ground

in the highly competitive heavy-duty market.
Still, it wouldn’t be overly tactless to suggest
that Assimo has considerably more to work
with than his former boss.
Nonetheless, and despite a largely
cautious and conservative character, it’s a
forthright Andrew Assimo who confesses
frustration “to some extent” at the inability
and disappointment of being unable to fulfill
the brand’s potential in the booming markets
of the past two years. “It has hurt,” he ruefully
admits, acknowledging the impact on
customers otherwise loyal to the Benz brand
but effectively forced to shop elsewhere.
In the next breath though, it’s a blatantly
upbeat Assimo who insists there are strong
reasons for optimism, not least more fluid
supply lines, high levels of ongoing demand
for Mercedes-Benz trucks and the excitement
of upcoming product developments.
Predictably, he was loath to define exactly
what those upcoming product developments
might be but remarked that further
improvements to the “exceptional fuel

New DEALS

efficiency” of Mercedes-Benz’s 13 litre and
16 litre models in particular will continue to
underpin the brand’s growth.
Meanwhile, it’s no secret that MercedesBenz is also on the cusp of an extensive
local test program of its eActros and eEconic
battery electric models, and while Assimo
asserts these emerging technologies will
play an increasing role in the brand’s future,
he is just as keen to emphasise diesel
efficiency and performance as core factors in
Mercedes-Benz’s ongoing growth prospects.
Yet whatever the power source, a
determined Andrew Assimo insists that
world-leading safety systems, along with
advances in telematics and drivetrain
components, will remain foundation stones
of the Mercedes-Benz truck business, now
and as far into the future as anyone cares to
look.
As for the introduction of the GigaSpace
cab to the Australian market, the
reconfigured shed obviously provides a
new flagship to the Benz fleet and in the

highly equipped demo model in this report,
provided the platform to showcase some of
the brand’s latest advances.
So, let’s go for a steer. Not far, but certainly
far enough to be reminded of the reasons
why Mercedes-Benz became one of the
heavy-duty market’s star performers and
despite diminished sales in recent times,
unequivocally remains one of the best cabovers in the country.
New tech
Giga! In Latin it means ‘big’. Really big. Huge.
Giant. Gigantic. Anyway, you get the picture.
Thus, it’s easy to understand why MercedesBenz’s marketing brains in Germany went for
‘GigaSpace’ to proclaim the merit of its newest
and biggest cab development.
However, what those marketing maestros
apparently didn’t appreciate or maybe
even know is that Giga is also the name of
an Isuzu heavy-duty truck which didn’t do
particularly well in our neck of the woods.
Indeed, after a long but lacklustre Australian

113

career, Isuzu Australia quietly withdrew
Giga from the local market a few years back
and, without putting too fine a point on it,
absence has most assuredly not made the
heart grow fonder.
Fortunately, and gratefully, similarities
between the German and Japanese heavies
end at the name. For starters, MercedesBenz appears to have done a fine job with
GigaSpace, creating more room with a
notably higher roofline. As Benz puts it,
‘While the GigaSpace cab is taller, it is
no longer than the standard Actros cab,
maintaining its versatility regarding overall
length regulations (and) features 2.13 metres
of interior height, measured from the floor
between the seats to the ceiling, providing
ample room for the tallest drivers.’
Other benefits according to the corporate
spiel include, ‘… increased storage with three

114

large cupboards built into the front of the
truck, sitting above the windscreen. An
optional microwave can be installed in the
centre cupboard (and) these cupboards
are in addition to the space under the bunk
which can include two slide-out fridges’.
Yet with the cab retaining its existing
dimension from front to back, GigaSpace
uses the same 750mm wide fixed bed
fitted to its other premium models. In no
way, however, is that a bad thing because
I’ve slept on enough of the locally-sourced
inner-spring mattresses in Benz’s bigger
cabs to know that comfortable sleep isn’t
hard to achieve. What’s more, for two-up
teams a fold-down upper bunk is optionally
available.
Overall, there’s no denying the GigaSpace
cab provides a worthwhile and perhaps
overdue addition to the Mercedes-Benz

New DEALS

range, giving the brand a new benchmark in
space and driver appeal while maintaining
the high standards of build quality, comfort
and practicality already established as
fundamental features of Benz’s premium
models. Just how much this optional
benchmark adds to the price has, however,
been difficult to deduce. Typically, price is
a sensitive subject for all the market’s big
players, rarely revealed for public perusal
and obviously, Mercedes-Benz is no
exception.
As already mentioned though, there
was more to the 2663 demonstrator
than the bigger cab, with Mercedes-Benz
using GigaSpace to highlight some of its
latest technology, particularly the second
generation of its digital MirrorCam system.
Mercedes-Benz (or rather, Daimler) led the
charge to replace traditional glass mirrors

with cameras and in this latest evolution the
external camera ‘wings’ are 100mm shorter
than before and vitally, come with claims for
better resolution and low-light performance
on the mirror screens mounted on the cab’s
A-pillars.
Funny thing though, with the GigaSpace
cab’s significantly higher stance and even
smaller camera wings replacing Benz’s
bulky glass mirror housings, the external
view of the cab can appear slimmer than
normal. It is, of course, an illusion because
cab width is unchanged but MirrorCam’s
negligible physical presence compared to
traditional glass housings certainly validates
the camera technology’s positive influence
on aerodynamics and subsequently, fuel
economy.
Furthermore, as Mercedes-Benz states,
‘Apart from reducing drag, the cameras
also improve visibility by removing the
traditional mirrors from the driver’s field of
view.’ So true, particularly at roundabouts
where the big glass mirror housings can
significantly impede the driver’s vision of
traffic approaching from the right.
Still, MirrorCam’s merits for B-double
roles remain dubious and it’s hard to
understand Mercedes-Benz’s reasoning for
using the system in the GigaSpace B-double
demonstrator.
Simply put, again, the convex view
exaggerates the combination’s length which
not only makes it more difficult to reverse
accurately but further instills the thought
that MirrorCam’s designers almost certainly
did not have Australia’s unique B-doubles –
or A-doubles for that matter – in mind when
developing the technology. Indeed, even
some Benz insiders quietly confess that
modest uptake of the optional mirror system
(priced from $3000 to $5000, depending
on who you ask) has come from operators of
single trailers or rigid trucks.
Other optional systems fitted to the
GigaSpace 2663 were Predictive Powertrain

The replacement of large
glass mirror housings with
MirrorCam can give the
cab the illusion of being
slimmer than usual. But of
course, it’s the same width
and no question, MirrorCam
improves aerodynamics

115

New DEALS

Control (PPC) and the latest version of Active
Drive Assist technology. We’ve reported
on both these systems before but here’s a
quick recap starting with PPC which uses
topographic map data and GPS to select the
optimum shift pattern and engine output to
maximise fuel economy.
As Mercedes-Benz states, PPC 'improves
the way the engine and automated
transmission are controlled to make
the most economical choice of throttle
application and gear selection.’
‘This could mean holding on to a gear
rather than changing up just before the crest
of a hill, or briefly selecting neutral to save
fuel in the appropriate conditions.’
Along with storing topographical data of
regular freight routes, PPC also memorises
the contours of other roads travelled and
further, ‘can be used in conjunction with

cruise control at speeds between 25 and
100km/h.’
As good as the system is though, and our
experience has shown it to be extremely
accurate, it’s also worth mentioning a trait
which can, in some instances in cruise
control, cause an anxious moment or two.
Instances like hauling up a long grade (let’s
say, Conroy’s on the Hume) with another big
banger hunting close behind. Anyway, as it’s
designed to do, PPC ‘recognises’ the crest and
in a bid to save fuel, backs off the throttle near
the top before rolling down the other side.
Meantime, ol’ mate at the back door is still
on full noise and when the Benz abruptly
backs off, realises the gap to the trailer in
front is closing very quickly. Suddenly
baulked on his run to the top, it’s not long
before an expletive-laden rant on the UHF
defines some thoughts on this form of

MirrorCam inside and out.
Improvements have been
made and the technology
has definite attributes in
aerodynamics and side
vision over traditional glass
mirrors. Still, the system’s
merit for B-doubles is
negligible

and driver comforts are

Mercedes-Benz models
with the GigaSpace cab now
adding another dimension

118

modern technology and in the real world
of fast-paced linehaul work, it’s easy to
understand the derision.
In such circumstances though, the easy
and obvious alternative for the Benz driver is
to simply put the pedal to the metal but then,
that defeats the purpose of PPC. Catch 22!
Entirely different to PPC but no less
advanced due to its creation largely for
autonomous self-driving roles, Active Drive
Assist uses an electric motor on the steering
box in addition to standard hydraulic power
steering to not only make steering easier,
especially at low speeds, but to actively steer
the truck and keep it in the centre of its lane.
Of course, the driver is still required to
hold the steering wheel but in this second
generation of a system which works in
concert with the Lane Keeping Assist
function, Benz says the system actually
helps to steer the truck and prevent it getting
out to the edge of the lane in the first place.
In effect, proactive rather than reactive,
using cameras to monitor lane markings and

applying that ‘feedback’ to assist the electrohydraulic steering system.
Importantly though, particularly for
overtaking or moving onto the road edge
at the approach of a wide load, the driver
is able to overrule the system by turning
off the Lane Keeping Assist function at any
time.
What’s more, this latest version has an
‘emergency stop’ function. If the driver
fails to react to repeated and increasingly
intense warnings to hold the steering
wheel, the system will bring the vehicle
to a standstill ‘by means of a moderate,
automated application of the brakes’.
Clever technology, for sure, but are the
extra complexity and cost of Active Drive
Assist justified when considered against
the reality that Mercedes-Benz’s steering
and road handling attributes are first-rate in
their standard form? Maybe, maybe not!
Either way, there’s no hesitation in
declaring that the best part of this exercise
was simply the truck itself. Indeed, the

New DEALS

highlight of a 500km return run from
Velocity Trucks at Laverton on Melbourne’s
western rim up to the Murray River at
Echuca was the constant reminder of
how strong, responsive, comfortable and
extremely efficient the 2663 continues
to be.
Grossing 62.5 tonnes and with just a
few thousand kilometres under the belt
of the 15.6 litre in-line six, the big Benz’s
630hp and 3000Nm (2213lb-ft) of torque
was the epitome of quiet strength and
smooth manners, notching 100km/h at a
twitch over 1400rpm through the highly
intuitive PowerShift 12-speed automated
transmission and a 3.583:1 rear axle ratio.
As for fuel, well, the first thing to explain
is that the test truck was apparently first in
the country to be fitted with rectangular
fuel tanks engineered and produced in
Germany specifically for the Australian
market.
In this combination, overall capacity was
1100 litres from a 370 litre tank on the right-

hand side and a 730 litre unit on the left with
an integrated 110 litre AdBlue tank.
Meantime, diesel consumption of the
GigaSpace 2663 was nothing short of
outstanding at 1.89km/litre, or 5.33mpg in
the old measure, according to the truck’s
on-board trip computer. It’s not known
how much AdBlue was consumed but if
consumption is typically between five and
eight per cent of fuel use, then it’s certainly
a reasonable rate given the impressive fuel
figure achieved on this run.
All up, it seems the only things stopping
Mercedes-Benz from a return to the heydays
of a few years back are enough trucks to
satisfy demand and perhaps more critically,
the effectiveness of sales and service people
to unseat the competitors who stepped in
and forged strong bonds with customers
while Benz was on the back foot.
Whatever, with models like the top-shelf
2663 leading the way, it’s easy to assert that
the least of Mercedes-Benz’s concerns are
actually its trucks.

OF THE BEST

The Land Transport fleet has had plenty of Western Stars in it, but
the company’s blue 6900 Constellation known as ‘Sunrise Ruby’
well and truly stands out from the crowd

121

e are all a little guilty of reminiscing,
daydreaming of a bygone era,
whimsically recalling and longing for
‘the good old days’. Well, today’s story
has ended up being pretty well driven by
that premise. Celebrating the good old
days with the good old trucks. I should
point out though that that is not how the
story was originally pencilled in. In fact,
there never really was a story plan.

Even in the early morning
fog the big 6900 casts an
imposing presence

122

When I first laid eyes on this stunning big
blue Western Star at the 2022 Casino Truck
Show I just wanted to get it in front of my
camera. No deeper meaning, no ulterior
motives, it was all about the appeal of the
big 6900. To quote the youth of today, the
gigantic Star was ‘snatched’. For those of us
who don’t vape, play Minecraft, or live life on
TikTok that means ‘damn, that looks good’
and ‘damn, this Western Star looks good’.
Hence my goal was purely to get the truck in
front of my camera.
Then I met the man behind the wheel, Ken
Coupe. I also met the man behind the truck,
Robert Land, and I also met the company
behind the man that’s behind the Land
Transport truck. Next thing I know I am

lacing up my workboots, jumping behind the
wheel of another Land Transport truck and
accompanying Ken across the paddock to
Perth, just so I could score some cool photos
of one of the last ever Western Star 6900s
built.
Before I headed off with Kenny for the
10,000km round trip to the Western
Australian capital, I sat down with the
Robert, Land Transport’s national transport
manager and eldest son of Land Transport’s
founders Barry and Raewyn Land. I was
extremely keen to learn the history of a
company that has managed to evolve
and adapt so well to the current climate in
trucking, a climate ruled by regulations,
restrictions, policies and procedures.
Land Transport has not just survived but
thrived, while also managing to hold firm to
a lot of the old school ideals and principles
from the good old days of trucking.
The company, which now has around 70
linehaul vehicles, began nearly four decades
ago and has become a leader in its field,
with its modern fleet, cutting edge logistics
management and highly qualified staff. Yet
at the same time the work they do, the core

New DEALS

values of the staff and even their adherence
to workday staff barbecues, reflects the pride
they take in their old-school ways.
Land Transport is one of those few
companies where everybody in every
yard knows how to tarp down a load – and
regularly do. They buy and spec trucks to
suit not just certain roles but specific drivers.
Land Transport is a family-fuelled company
that knows how to move any kind of freight
and over the last 40 years has pretty much
moved every kind of freight.
On a side note, when I mentioned
everyone in every yard knows how to tarp, I
wasn’t including myself. Technically I don’t
count as I am a relief driver and, thankfully,
I was given a tautliner to take to Perth. I
take comfort in knowing there are so many
tarping connoisseurs at Land Transport for
next time though as my tarping skills are
about as sharp as an undercooked chocolate
cake.
“My dad and his mate Trevor Young started
the company back in 1984,” Robert says,
explaining that he was three years old at the
time but already on his way to becoming a
fully-fledged truckie. “I was just one when I
did my first run in dads T-Line.”

The International T-Line wasn’t his dad’s
actual truck. At that stage Barry and Trevor
were both working for Ernie Loughlin in
Toowoomba. It wasn’t until Robert was three
that he said “goodbye” to the old T-line when
an opportunity arose for Barry.
“Dad and Trevor decided to get their own
trucks and have a go. They started Young &
Land together but also had their own trucks
under individual businesses. Dad was BJ &
RI Land and Trev ran a truck under TJ & SD
Young,” Robert explains.
A farming history
At this stage of the interview Barry Land
joined Robert and me, helping to paint a
picture of the early days of Young & Land.
“In those days it was mainly machinery. A
lot of the places are gone now but we used to
do a lot of John Deere and stuff out of Dalby
and that,” Barry recalls. “We started out with
mainly Melbourne and Adelaide and then
started doing Perth as well. We didn’t make a
lot of money but we had a lot of fun.”
It is strangely fortuitous that the blue
colour of the 6900 featured here is very
similar to that of the truck that started the
company off back in 1984.

The South Australian
landscape is the perfect
setting for a tough truck
and they don’t get much
tougher than Western
Star 6900

Ken’s standard setup sees
him with a loaded flattop
and a loaded drop deck
with tarps to cover every
load – just not this week

“The first truck was a Blue LNT9000,”
Barry continues. “We had that for about
three years then. It was about 1987 when
we bought our first brand new truck – a red,
white and blue Ford LTL. They were good
trucks mate, they had the right-sized motor,
15-speed gearbox … they were a bulletproof
truck. You couldn’t kill them.”
Barry and Trevor worked very closely
together, running Young & Land as one of
Queensland’s premier transport teams. As
that company grew so did their individual
companies.
“At first, I just had my truck. Then I’d buy a
truck for a mate to drive, then another truck
for another mate and eventually I bought a
heap of trucks and no mates,” Barry laughs.
In 2008 Trevor and his wife Shirley
decided retirement was a more appealing
pursuit and sold out to Barry. The result of
that was the end of Young & Land, TJ & SD
Young, BJ & RI Land and the emergence of
Land Transport.
“I didn’t set out to do what we’ve done, but
I wouldn’t change it for the world. We’ve
had our ups and downs, like everyone has.
But it just makes you stronger,” Barry says.
He also admits it has been the workers and
customers that have made it all worthwhile,
many of whom have been with the company
for years and decades rather than days and
weeks.

“We’ve been blessed with some of the best
drivers in the world,” Barry admits. “We have
20-odd drivers that are over the 10-year
mark. We’ve got one bloke here, Wayne
Briskey, he’s 70 years old. Top bloke, we just
gave him one of the new Macks and he was
that excited he wouldn’t shut up. I had to
wind the windows up on the ute and drive
away just to stop him telling me about it.”
I did mention the family side of the
business as well, didn’t I? That wasn’t a
metaphorical statement either. There is a
strong family feeling that runs through the
place, from the can-do approach to taking on
any and all sorts of freight, to the laid-back,
having-a-laugh Friday barbecues at the
depots.
There is also a strong family connection
within the company. As mentioned, my
guide through this story is eldest son
Robert, who took on a diesel mechanic
apprenticeship in order to kill time between
leaving school and being ‘legally’ allowed
to drive the trucks. Then there is the middle
son Nathan who managed to escape the
truck driving bug, but somehow got bitten by
forkie fever and now runs the Toowoomba
depot.
Then there is the youngest son Ben.
Another of the infamous Land sons, but
not just for the fact he runs a tight ship as
manager of the Melbourne depot but also for

New DEALS

the effort he puts into some pretty flash units
that hit the road down in Victoria.
“If the old girl wasn’t sick of getting knocked
up we’d have 10 boys,” Barry jokes. “One at
each of the depots.”
Another trait of Land Transport that
really affirms their family values is their
commitment to the small rural towns around
Queensland and NSW. They have depots
in towns such as Moree, Dubbo, Tamworth
and Wagga Wagga. From there they service a
bundle of other local communities.
“We actually got an award for ‘Service to
the Moree Community’ a couple of years
back,” Barry says. “Many places have shut
down in those country areas but we’ve kept
going. There are also a lot of others who’ve
built their businesses off the back of ours. If
we don’t service somewhere there will be
someone who does, and we work with them.”
Bit of everything
Well that pretty much rounds up the report on
Land Transport, now let us turn our attention
to the whopping great Western Star that
brought us here in the first place. The big blue
behemoth that goes by the name of ‘Sunrise
Ruby’.
‘Sunrise Ruby’ is a 2022 Western Star 6900.
The crème de la crème of what is now the
extinct Western Star Constellation range.

It’s not the first Western Star in the Land
Transport fleet and will be far from the last.
In fact, there was a time in Land Transport’s
not-too-distant-past when the company
was all Western Star. That is no longer the
case, with the 70-odd interstate trucks now
comprising of everything from Western
Stars and Mercedes-Benz to Kenworths,
Macks and Volvos.
These days truck purchases are based on
job requirements more than brand affiliation.
Hence the arrival of not just ‘’Sunrise Ruby,
but four other 6900s. “We buy the right
trucks for the right jobs,” Robert says. “We buy
the big trucks for the guys doing the big work,
like Perth. The drivers can be in the trucks
for weeks sometimes and we don’t want
them feeling claustrophobic. They need to
have room to relax and feel at home, because
it is there home a lot.”
The 68-inch bunk and all the mod cons
fitted to ‘Sunrise Ruby’ ensure driver Ken
can happily equip himself for a long stint on
the road. It also has another advantage that
Ken loves. “It’s too big to go do any of the east
coast work,” Robert adds.
I am sure many of you have picked up
the name of the truck by now but in case
anyone missed it I shall repeat it – ‘Sunrise
Ruby’. This is a reflection of the lovely young
lady that had a helping hand in the setup of

The Land Transport team

paddock was in another
specialist truck, the
company’s Genie K200,

this marvellous machine, Robert’s daughter
Ruby.
“When we bought these trucks, we wanted
to do something different,” Robert says. “We’d
had trucks in different colours before we
went to the corporate colours back in 06 and
07, and we thought with these being the end
of an era for Western Star, we wanted to do
something with each one.
“I wanted to do the first one up for Ruby. I
sat down with her and the swatch chart and
she chose the colours.”
When it came to the design work though,
Robert chose to call in a mate who knows
how to make a truck look good, Jon Kelly. I
would like it noted, I agree Jon can design a
cool looking truck and with this Star he has
nailed it again. But I would still be interested
to see what an eight year old Ruby would
have come up with.
What stands out with this particular 6900,
even compared to the others which arrived,
is the simplicity of it. It’s not over the top with
lights or stainless. “I wanted to keep it fairly
close to how the original old school trucks

looked,” Robert says. “Jon is a good mate and
he helped me plan it out. We sent it off to
Damo at Masterart Designs to paint it all up
and then it went back to Jon’s place to get the
extras added. But not too much.”
Those extras included getting Cliff Brown
from Pro Truck Electrical to add a few extra
lights, as well as getting the team from
Rocklea Truck Electrical to wrap all the
tanks. Some subtle stainless extras were
added just to finish off the authentic look
Robert was after.
As for the addition of a fully carpeted floor,
well that’s just a touch of luxury for the big
6900. “The truck came with all the boxes
ticked anyway,” Robert says. “We order all
our Western Stars through my uncle Scott at
Pengelly Trucks. He knows exactly what we
want.”
The truck was rolled off the boat in March
2022 and debuted a couple of months later at
the Casino Truck Show. The one advantage
of wanting to keep it simple and tidy was that,
with the exception of the paintwork, it was a
fairly quick process to get it on the road.

New DEALS

We can’t wrap it up without looking
to the man that holds the keys to the
kingdom, Ken Coupe. Ken has been with
Land Transport for over five years and his
dedication to his craft and his pedantic
approach to looking after the trucks that
were thrown his way had been duly noted
by those in the office. Therefore, once
Robert had signed the paperwork on the
truck, dedicated to his own daughter, it was
Ken who was asked to take the keys.
“I’d never really driven any Stars,” Ken
admits. “I’d had one 4800 for a bit when I
started at Land but really I was Kenworth
man. Then I got one of the Macks to do
Perth and it was like a Rolls Royce. So, when
I got asked to take the Star, I just wanted
to make sure I wasn’t going backward. I
definitely wasn’t. I love it. Not much of a
turning circle on a 6900 but it’s a paddock
truck. It’s great for out here.”
Ken’s regular run sees him with a couple

of flat-top trailers in tow and carting
anything from brand new trucks or stateof-the-art machinery, to palletised freight
or dangerous goods. The truck has now
clocked up its first quarter of a million
kilometres and is just getting better and
better.
As far as summarising this story, well all
I originally wanted was a couple of nice
shots of this striking 6900. My trip to Perth
alongside king Kenny provided that. It also
reaffirmed the family values and old school
adage that has helped Land Transport in its
journey.
Our trip had a few hiccups, but we found
ways to fix them. It had a few hold ups, we
didn’t stress, ‘get there when you get there’,
and our trip was packed full of characters.
Happy motoring, Stino, Ross, Ricky, big Ed …
to name but a few. All in all, the Western Star
6900 may be the end of an era, but the Land
Transport era is just getting warmed up.

The Western Star’s interior
never changed much
through the Constellation
range, but then it didn’t
need to. It’s a setup that
offers plenty of room,
even enough for the Land
Transport custom fridge

Weld Australia has launched a new suite of
learning resources for the Manufacturing and
Engineering Training Package

Hydrogen at ’em
Hydrogen fuel cell power generators will be built in Australia and
sold locally under a new deal between Toyota Australia and EODev
Hydrogen generators are set to
hit the local market, after Toyota
Australia signed a manufacturing
deal with French developer Energy
Observer Developments (EODev).
Toyota will invest $3.3 million
to assemble up to 100 generators
over the next three years at its
former manufacturing facility in
the Melbourne suburb of Altona.
The 110 kVa GEH2 stationary
hydrogen fuel cell power generators
will use the same system as is in
the Toyota Mirai fuel cell electric
vehicle, which the manufacturer
says provides zero emissions of
either fine particles, carbon dioxide
or nitric oxide.
Toyota plans to distribute both
the locally assembled and fully built
generators in Australia through retail
partner Blue Diamond Machinery
and will also sell them to Toyota
New Zealand.
As the market develops, additional
models with higher power supply
will be considered for assembly
and distribution in Australia, the
company says.
EODev CEO Jérémie Lagarrigue
says the agreement represents a
milestone for the French company,
being the first time its GEH2 power
generator will be assembled outside
of its production facility in France.
“The GEH2 generator has been
in production since 2021 and
is currently sold across several
European markets, in North America,
in the Middle East, and in Australia.
We see a fast-growing potential for its
use in this part of the world” he says.

(l-r) Toyota Australia president and CEO
Matthew Callachor, BDM director Justin
Pitts, EODev CEO Stephane Jardin, BDM
director Brad Pitts, Toyota New Zealand
corporate manager – direct sales & new
business, new vehicles Terry Lydon

“We are pleased to have the support
of Toyota Australia in being able to
assemble the generators locally,
which will enable more customers to
access this clean technology and help
reduce noxious emissions from local
power generation.”
Toyota demonstrated the potential
for the EODev GEH2 hydrogen fuel cell
generator last year when it was used
to power the giant neon sign at Marvel
Stadium in Melbourne during an AFL
match, and again earlier this year at
the Melbourne F1 Grand Prix where it
powered six marquees in the tech hub
over four days.
Potential applications for the GEH2
power generator include powering
remote off-grid sites such as mining
sites, construction sites, BEV charging
sites, as well as events.
The GEH2 generator can also be
used to provide emergency backup
power for hospitals, commercial
buildings and anywhere where stable
power supply is required.
“This agreement signed today is
not about a trial or pilot program,
it is about concrete action that will
improve Australian businesses’
access to stationary hydrogen fuel
cell generators and help them reduce
their carbon footprint,” Toyota
Australia president and CEO
Matthew Callacho says.

Australia and New Zealand
A suite of new learning resources for Weld
Australia’s Manufacturing and Engineering
(MEM) Training Package has been praised
by industry groups, it says.
The 12 welding and fabrication units of
competency were developed together
with a national consortium of TAFEs over
the past two years to produce resources
that are engaging and up to date, built
with students, teachers and training
organisations in mind.
Available completely online and
accessible via phone, mobile device or
computer, the resources boast a userfriendly interface, diversified delivery
methods, and audited and accurate
material.
Weld Australia CEO Geoff Crittenden says
that a national industry needs national
learning resources.
“Whether you’re an apprentice in
Kalgoorlie, Ultimo or Davenport, you
should have access to the same, highquality training,” he says.
“Our resources help simplify the
learning process for students, teachers
and training institutes and – most
importantly –place the student at
centre of the learning process.”
South Metropolitan TAFE in Fremantle,
Western Australia, was the first training
organisation to facilitate an official pilot.
The feedback received from students and
lecturers alike was extremely positive.
Executive director – engineering,
transport and defence at South
Metropolitan TAFE Jonathon Maile says
being able to link with Weld Australia and
other TAFEs improved training outcomes,
with a better consistency from a technical
perspective Australia-wide.
“It has improved our focus on digitisation
and e-learning, and the increased the
flexibility of how we deliver,” he says.
“If apprentices miss classes, they can
access the resources and catch up a lot
more quickly.”

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.
