SHOW WELCOME
Welcome to
the Brisbane
Truck Show!
We are delighted to welcome you to the
2021 Brisbane Truck Show. Within this
Official Show Program is a full preview of
the show, lists of exhibitors, plus maps
and other important details, all designed
to help visitors make better informed
truck, trailer and transport equipment
purchasing decisions
THIS IS SUCH an important occasion for the industry to get
together. It is a reward for the incredible job that has been
done keeping Australia moving over the past 18 months
through drought, bushfires and the pandemic.
When the doors open and visitors start streaming through
– there really is no better sight. It is an occasion for old mates
to catch up, to share knowledge, fellowship and banter, and it is
probably fair to say that this year we all need that more than ever
before.
The Brisbane Truck Show is hosted by Heavy Vehicle
Industry Australia (HVIA), the national association representing
manufacturers and suppliers of heavy vehicles and their
components, equipment and technology.
The show has come a long way from its humble beginnings when
21 truck, trailer and component manufacturers and suppliers came
together at Haulmark Trailers’ premises in Rocklea in 1968.
These days, it is, by far, the biggest business event our industry
holds in the southern hemisphere. The last event went on to be
honoured at the 2019 Australian Event Awards as ‘Australia’s Best
Corporate Event and Best Exhibtion, Trade or Consumer Show’.
Those accolades have only served to inspire more energy to
further improve the show for both exhibitors and visitors.
Our exhibitors do an extraordinary job raising the bar every
show and this year is no different. On display is a fantastic array of
products, from the very latest trucks and innovative trailer designs,
to components, equipment, accessories and groundbreaking
technology solutions.
The show attracts visitors from the length and breadth of the
country, representing the pillars of Australian industry – agriculture,
construction, mining, retail and, of course, freight and logistics.
It is inspiring to see the enthusiasm with which visitors approach
the innovative products and solutions that are showcased at the
event.
The countless deals sealed with a handshake during the show are
testament of the mutual respect that the heavy vehicle industry and
its clients have for each other.
The December quarter saw the Australian economy experience
its single largest increase in capital expenditure in a quarter
since March 2012. The Australian Bureau of Statistics suggest that
businesses have upgraded their investment intentions off the back
of the Instant Asset Write-Off, Better Business Investment and now
the Temporary Full Expensing schemes.
As the show doors open it is still clear that there has never been a
better time to upgrade your fleet.
COMING TOGETHER
The Brisbane Truck Show is described as the place where the
industry gathers. That side of it is hugely important too.
In fact, the 2021 show is part of a full week of celebrations
showcasing Australia’s heavy vehicle industry.
Following its hugely successful launch in 2019, Australian Heavy
Vehicle Industry Week once again serves as the umbrella capturing
all of the events and activities going on across Brisbane alongside
the Brisbane Truck Show.
The events are all underpinned by the six themes of Australian
Heavy Vehicle Industry Week: innovation, safety, sustainability,
careers, knowledge and community.
Partnerships with the Queensland Government, Brisbane City
Council and South Bank Parklands have enabled the show to expand

eyond the walls of the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre,
to engage the broader community and share some of our industry’s
inspiring stories of innovation, collaboration and resilience.
Those partnerships have come about because they recognise
the value of every attendee to the show, and indeed the enormous
contribution our industry makes to the economy.
It has enabled the industry Jobs Hub and National Apprentice
Challenge to take up a new home at South Bank Piazza, where the
community will be able to see for themselves the diverse range of
rewarding career paths on offer.
It has enabled the development of a Technology and Innovation
Centre and a Future Fuels Hub.
Following the success of our first foray into the adjacent South
Bank Parklands, streets in the dining and entertainment precinct of
Little Stanley Street and Stanley Street Plaza will again be closed to
traffic to create a hub called the South Bank Truck Festival.
We hope you will all enjoy congregating there with your mates
and peers – both old and new – and share in the spirit of this
fabulous week of events.
Brisbane is really opening its doors for us this year and laying out
the red carpet.
We take this opportunity to pay tribute to the Brisbane Truck
Show’s key partners, particularly NTI and Truck Assist, BP Australia
and our many other supporting partners.
Thanks also go to Brisbane Truck Show Media Partner Are Media,
publisher of market-leading titles Australasian Transport News
(ATN), Deals on Wheels, Earthmovers & Excavators, Farms & Farm
Machinery and Owner Driver. This program is also the result of its
great ongoing support of the Australian transport industry.
We are privileged to be joined by organisations like these to
continue to build and grow a world-class event for our visitors.
Don’t forget that your fully registered and activated Brisbane
Truck Show ticket will put you into the running for the Ultimate
VIP Experience Package thanks to the Morris Finance. One lucky
attendee is set to enjoy corporate treatment at Bathurst and the AFL,
hot laps and numerous other prizes valued at over $45,000.
All tickets purchased for the Brisbane Truck Show will also give
you access to the Civil Construction Field Days heavy equipment
and machinery show. A free shuttle service will also be available,
running between the two events (details about the event are in the
back of this program).
We hope you enjoy your experience attending this year’s Brisbane
Truck Show and all of the other events and activities within it and
across Brisbane.
“We hope you will all enjoy
congregating there with your mates
and peers – both old and new – and
share in the spirit of this fabulous
week of events”
A WARM
WELCOME
Welcome to the Brisbane Truck Show, a
highlight of the Australian Heavy Vehicle
Industry Week, which the Queensland
Government is proud to sponsor
ORE THAN 65,000 people are expected to visit
the Brisbane Exhibition and Convention Centre
Mand South Bank Parklands from May 10–16, 2021,
exploring the latest trucks, trailers, technologies and
accessories, and giving a friendly ‘steering wheel
wave’ to our nation’s heavy vehicle industry, which
kept Queensland moving throughout an incredibly
challenging 2020.
I thank all industry partners for working with the
Queensland Government to maintain supply chains and
deliver essential supplies to communities during the
coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. With border restrictions
and strict freight protocols put in place to protect the
health of Queenslanders, it was a demanding time for
Australian truck drivers and freight and logistics workers.
Queensland is now in a strong health position and
the Queensland Government is focused on economic
recovery. This includes the creation of transport jobs and
the continued delivery of the Queensland Freight Strategy,
our 10-year vision for a fully integrated, resilient freight
system that will make ours the safest and most productive
state in Australia.
The pandemic has certainly illuminated the importance
of trucking to the people of our vast state, and the
2021 Brisbane Truck Show is celebrating it in its usual
big-chassis way.

AHVI WEEK
Bigger and better
Australian Heavy Vehicle Industry Week brings the trucking industry out of the
convention and exhibition centre and into the South Bank of Brisbane
The launch of Australian Heavy Vehicle
Industry (AHVI) Week as its umbrella
event formalised something that has
been happening for years alongside the
Brisbane Truck Show.
HVIA chief executive Todd Hacking explains
that exhibitors have long been holding launch
events, customer dinners, dealer conferences,
drive days, factory tours and much more in
tandem with the Truck Show.
“The reaction to the expansion into South
Bank Parklands was fantastic,” Hacking says
of 2019’s bigger show presence outside of the
exhibition centre.
“All of that success is a reflection on
the leadership shown by so many of our
exhibitors, who did such an amazing job of
showcasing the values of their companies and
our industry to the broader community.”
The week of events and the communication
campaign around it foster broader community
awareness about the heavy vehicle industry’s
vital role and positive impact within the
community.
With the support of Tourism and Events
Queensland, Brisbane City Council and South
Bank Corporation, Little Stanley Street and
Stanley Street Plaza will be closed to traffic to
showcase innovative trucks and trailers.
Following AHVI Week’s success in 2019,
the South Bank precinct has grown into a
full-fledged festival, with an abundance of
activities and entertainment, all supported
by the precinct’s retailers waiting to welcome
visitors with a plethora of great dining options.
“The opportunity to showcase our industry
in this spectacular location provides the
perfect opportunity to share our story with
the community in a tangible and lasting way,”
Hacking says.
“We are extremely grateful to the
22
Queensland Government and the City of
Brisbane for coming on board to enable this
initiative to come to life.”
PLACE TO BE
The intent behind AHVI Week broadly supports
the government’s agenda across a wide range
of strategic priorities, including promoting
Queensland as a major hub for Australia’s
vibrant and innovative heavy vehicle
manufacturing industry.
The recent launch of MaxiTrans’ new
heavy-duty trailer manufacturing facility in
Carole Park is just one prime example of the
industry’s health and willingness to invest in
advanced facilities.
The Queensland Government partnership
also utilises the Brisbane Truck Show to
promote road safety and workplace safety
across many sectors, including manufacturing,
service centres, construction, agriculture and
road transport.
AHVI Week includes a full schedule of events
within the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition
Centre (BCEC).
The opening morning of the Brisbane Truck
Show features the Manufacturers Media Tour,
attracting leading automotive, industry and
mainstream journalists to witness the
highly-anticipated unveiling of many new
trucks, trailers and equipment.
The expanded Technology and Innovation
Centre and Future Fuels and Sustainability
Hub are both set to provide a picture of where
the industry is heading over the rest of this
decade and beyond.
Beyond the walls of the BCEC, the Jobs Hub
and the HVIA National Apprentice Challenge
will showcase career opportunities to the
broader community, with free entry at the
South Bank Piazza amphitheatre.
Hacking says that the heavy vehicle industry
offers diverse and rewarding career paths.
“With hundreds of jobs available directly
from Jobs Hub exhibitors, this will open doors
to young people just entering the workforce
and others considering something new,” he
explains.
Sunday is when families are most obvious at
the Brisbane Truck Show. While the exhibitors
count the business cards and order forms
from the previous three days, they are just as
keen to welcome the mums and dads, small
business people – and their kids – potentially
the next generation of heavy vehicle industry
talent.
Meanwhile, away from the convention
centre, there will be full hotels all across
Brisbane; there will be dealer conferences,
association meetings, large and small
customer dinners and events held across
Brisbane every night before and during the
Brisbane Truck Show.
The new Civil Construction Field Days
sees a welcome return for heavy equipment
and machinery, just a short shuttle away at
Hamilton Northshore, with reciprocal tickets
for both events.
AHVI Week celebrates our thriving and
robust local industry – a world leader in many
aspects of heavy vehicle transport.
Hacking says that the week is about
expressing pride in the heavy vehicle industry
while starting a conversation with the broader
community about its innovation, local
manufacturing and sustainability; about road
safety, skills development, education and
careers.
“We encourage every participant to fully
embrace the opportunities that the Australian
Heavy Vehicle Industry Week offers and to be a
part of sharing our great story,” he says.

Return of the mighty machines
Heavy equipment and machinery is back at Hamilton Northshore, with the Civil
Construction Field Days running from Thursday, May 13 to Saturday, May 15
IT IS A PARTNERSHIP that turns back
the clock, with the launch of a new
accompanying heavy equipment and
machinery show.
The Civil Construction Field
Days (CCFD) will run alongside the Brisbane
Truck Show during Australian Heavy Vehicle
Industry Week, thanks to a collaboration
between Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia
(HVIA) and the Civil Contractors Federation
Queensland (CCFQ).
HVIA chief executive Todd Hacking says
the deal includes reciprocal ticketing as
well as regular bus transfers between the
two venues.
“One ticket, two shows and free transport.
That will make a lot of people happy,”
Hacking says.
“HVIA has been on a journey of trying to
deliver more value for our loyal attendees,
who travel from all around Australia and
the world to come to Queensland for the
Truck Show.
“I think this is an absolute game-changer
and I’m proud of the HVIA board, the BTS
organising team, and thank the leadership
of the CCFQ for working with us over the past
12 months to ensure we can get this deal off
the ground.”
CCFQ CEO Damian Long echoes these
sentiments.
“We are so pleased to announce this
partnership with HVIA,” Long says.
“Our members use a lot of trucks and
trailers; our two industries are intertwined
and aligned, so to be able to offer an
expanded new concept will be an incredible
event.
“Aligning transport and heavy equipment
is a show stopper and will not only ensure
the industry can attend and look at the new
developments, innovation and technology,
but it is also a great way for the family to
come together on the weekend and learn
more about our industries.
“Our industry builds the roads, tunnels,
motorways, rail, pipelines, airports, and
community developments that supports the
Queensland economy. We are connecting
Queensland.
“Major infrastructure projects that are
transforming our state include the recently
completed Toowoomba Second Range
Crossing and the new runway at Brisbane
Airport.
“Current projects such as Inland Rail, the
M1 and Bruce Highway upgrades, Cross River
Rail and Brisbane Metro will transform the
lives of many Queenslanders.”

JOBS HUB
The next generation
The BTS21 Industry Jobs Hub will showcase our exciting industry to thousands of
students and potential job seekers
THE JOBS HUB is co-located with the
National Apprentice Challenge at the
South Bank Piazza from Thursday, May
13 to Sunday, May 16 as part of the
South Bank Truck Festival and features
a full schedule of interactive entertainment.
Exhibitors and career specialists will talk
to attendees about heavy vehicle industry
career paths and how to get started on the
journey.
The Brisbane Truck Show has a proud
history of showcasing career opportunities in
the heavy vehicle industry – bringing school
students from all over Brisbane to the event
so they can learn more about the industry
and the diverse and rewarding career
pathways available.
Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia (HVIA)
chief executive Todd Hacking says that the
success of the Jobs Hub at the last show
inspired the expansion to showcase the
heavy vehicle industry to a wider audience.
“We are excited to relocate the Jobs Hub
and National Apprentice Challenge to the
South Bank Piazza, making it free for the
community to attend, and linking it with
the South Bank Truck Festival,” Hacking
says. “We are partnering with the state
and federal governments to ensure job
agencies, job seekers, parents, teachers
and students have access to industry
ambassadors and real jobs.
“Within the same space, we will be
delivering an engaging education program
with hands-on workshops, master classes
and hackathons aimed at inspiring
and empowering our industry’s next
generation.”
WALKED THE WALK
The whole activation will be hosted by
an amazing young entrepreneur named
Scott Millar. From selling keyrings at local
markets, Millar grew his business into an
e-commerce brand, shipping thousands of
units a month by the time he was 15.
At 16, he launched a company creating
holograms for events and marketing and,
by the time he was in grade 12, he was
travelling around the world, working with
leading brands on their events.
Millar now works with young people
worldwide to show them that age, location
and background is no longer a barrier for
success in today’s innovation economy.
“I am hoping to lead by example to show
other young people the amazing things they
can do and the opportunities they can take if
they both work hard and work smart,” Millar
explains.
GREAT TURNOUT
The South Bank Piazza is an amazing covered
amphitheatre that will also feature the live
staging of the National Apprentice Challenge.
“Alongside all that, Brisbane Truck Show
exhibitors will be connecting with students
and other job seekers from the Jobs Hub
display,” Hacking adds.
“We have previously brought in hundreds
of students from about 40 schools in the
Brisbane catchment.
“This year, with additional support from the
Queensland Government, we are expecting
that number to head well north of a thousand
and coming from upwards of 100 schools.”
Hacking says the BTS21 Jobs Hub presents
a unique opportunity for Brisbane Truck
Show exhibitors to demonstrate the diverse
career paths available across the industry
and to access the great pipeline of talent for
their businesses.
“We are really excited to be able to connect
with the broader community around the
strength of the heavy vehicle industry and
the rewarding careers that we know are there
for people with the right attitude,” he says.

The next step
THE AUSTRALIAN GOVERNMENT has
committed to around $1.5 billion in
funding for the Australian Renewable
Energy Agency (ARENA) over the next
10 years to support low emission
technologies across the innovation chain.
HVIA chief executive Todd Hacking says that
the heavy vehicle industry has shown its own
determination to accelerate the transition
away from fossil fuels.
“Our industry has always been at the
forefront of innovation, with a great history of
achievements in safety, productivity and our
environmental footprint,” Hacking says.
“In the last 20 years alone, more than
90 per cent of the toxic emissions of
diesel exhausts have been removed,
whilst engine power and economy have
improved significantly.
“At the last Brisbane Truck Show,
the southern hemisphere’s largest
automotive business event, we witnessed a
turning point for our industry with the arrival
of commercial-ready electric vehicles,
but equally as importantly – an array of
technology to convert existing vehicles
through electric drivetrains.
“We already have hybrid and fully electric
trucks starting to appear in more and more
fleets, very capably fulfilling tasks for local and
last-mile work.
“However, there is no sitting still and our
members and their international parents
around the world are making great leaps
forward every day to deliver solutions for
highway work.
“We now have manufacturers unveiling
hydrogen fuel cell-powered long-haul
solutions, which will go into fast development
and trialling for different markets.
“But the key to that becoming a
commercial reality and success in Australia
is the infrastructure and supply of green
hydrogen across our enormous highway
network.
“BP have announced their own clean
energy roadmap and that includes being
an enabler for solutions, including fast
charging electric stations and hydrogen
infrastructure.
“All Australian states and territories are
signatories to the National Hydrogen Strategy
and every one of them will need to get behind
these sorts of initiatives.”
“We already have hybrid and fully electric trucks
starting to appear in more and more fleets”
VISIT THE HUB
Hacking explains that HVIA will be showcasing
the industry’s ambitions at the 2021 Brisbane
Truck Show with a devoted Future Fuels &

“The 2021 Brisbane Truck Show is set to take
all that to another level across the show floor
and HVIA will lead the way with the launch of
dedicated displays to showcase groundbreaking
developments,” Hacking says.
“Visitors to the show will see current
opportunities to implement sustainable

TECHNOLOGY & INNOVATION CENTRE
In the zone
Head over to the expanded Technology & Innovation Centre at the Brisbane Truck Show
to check out the latest innovations in productivity and safety-enhancing technology
PERHAPS IT IS BECAUSE of the
extraordinarily high volumes and
fine margins that road transport
operators are so adept at working
around the margins, finding better
ways of doing things to increase productivity
and thereby improving profitability and return
on investment.
Many of the industry’s widely-adopted
innovations have come through years of
experimentation. Increasingly, however, it is
down to science, with new technologies that
are able to calculate and assess situations,
capacity and capability with instant precision.
The outcomes are technologies that
improve productivity and safety, leaving
nothing to chance.
It applies to every facet of a vehicle, from
tyre pressure to load restraint, and sensors
that save lives by activating safe braking
protocols alongside others that provide alerts
by watching the vehicle’s lane alignment and
blind spots.
It applies to managing the driver’s
task; from scheduling to loading, to
fatigue management and driver health
and safety.
The power of data touches every aspect
of our lives and the heavy vehicle industry
is no different. The processing power of the
smallest circuitry is applied in the most
extraordinary ways.
Last year, the federal government and
National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR)
combined to launch a blueprint designed to
support and encourage manufacturers and
operators to incorporate the latest safety
technology into new and existing heavy
vehicles.
Assistant minister for road safety Scott
Buchholz says the initiative was intended
to remove barriers for heavy vehicle
manufacturers’ use of that technology.
“For example, lane departure warning,
autonomous emergency braking systems and
pedestrian and cyclist detection systems are
32
all available, so let’s see them on more new
vehicles,” Buchholz states.
NHVR CEO Sal Petroccitto adds that the
plan would address better harmonisation of
Australian vehicle standards, better access
to the latest vehicle technologies, ensuring
appropriate in-service requirements, and
industry education about new and emerging
technology.
“When we surveyed manufacturers, we saw
that there was very little consistency when
it comes to installing newer types of safety
technology,” Petroccitto explains.
“For example, stability control was included
on 78 per cent of new vehicles, but fatigue
monitoring systems were used on less than
one in five, while lane keep assist featured on
one in four new vehicles.”
“The expanded
Technology &
Innovation Centre is
a series of displays
that showcase the
application of new
technology, right now”
GET IN GEAR
The expanded Technology & Innovation Centre
at the 2021 Brisbane Truck Show is a series of
displays that showcase the application of new
technology, right now.
Tiger Spider won HVIA’s 2020 Product
Innovation Award with Spider Path, its intuitive
and easy-to-use online route assessment tool
for transport companies and road managers.
It will also be demonstrating Hevi Spec,
an online high-productivity vehicle design
tool that allows users to create almost any
high-productivity combination and test
it against performance-based standards.
The modular vehicle builder includes
prime movers, rigid trucks, buses, special
purpose vehicles, pigs, dogs, semi-trailers,
goose-neck dollies and non-standard trailers
with multiple axle groups. Steerable axles,
powertrain, suspension, tyres and coupling
can all be configured.
Hevi Spec and Spider Path also provide
an intuitive and easy-to-use online route
assessment tool for transport companies and
road managers to more confidently apply and
confirm that a vehicle combination will fit a
specific route or network.
Visitors can also get hands-on experience
made possible by virtual and augmented
reality.
Avantgarde will demonstrate the benefits
of Flir thermal imaging technology for road
transport applications, including reduced
driver stress, helping drivers manage their
fatigue and giving operators more time to
make better decisions.
The display is not light-on with
entertainment either, with the opportunity
to show your mates who can handle a
Road Ranger shifter with the most flare and
dexterity on one of the truck simulators.
Other exhibits include DNS Technology’s
iBodyshop smash repair software, Future Fleet
GPS and facial camera tracking technology,
and Road Wizard’s Truckwiz navigational app.
Sensium will also be demonstrating its vehicle
GPS tracking platform.
Queensland TAFE augmented welding
machines provide an insight into the latest in
training technologies for tradespeople.
Meanwhile, Hace industries’ Scanreco
radio-controlled remotes are used for a vast
range of applications, ranging from truck
cranes and agricultural machines to skid
steers, drill rigs, and concrete pumps, to
driverless trucks.

NATIONAL APPRENTICE CHALLENGE
And they’re off!
Cheer for your team at the HVIA National Apprentice Challenge
THREE TEAMS are set to compete
at the HVIA National Apprentice
Challenge, to be staged live at the
2021 Brisbane Truck Show.
The competition pits the bestof-the-best,
from all over the country,
against each other and against the clock.
The prizes are hugely attractive for a
young bloke/lady on the tools, what with
a fully hosted trip to the V8 Supercars up
for grabs – the full corporate treatment
and pit lane tours and a whole lot more.
Now, there is the added pressure of
performing under the spotlight. The
apprentice challenge is moving from
the loading bays at Brisbane Convention
and Exhibition Centre (BCEC) into South
Bank Piazza.
The set-up at BCEC was great, but this
is like going from a kick around at the
park to the MCG in one fell swoop.
Each regional team works on one of
two identical Isuzu FX-series prime
movers to identify and rectify a series of
programmed faults as the clock ticks.
The winning team is the first
successfully to identify and repair all
the faults, or the team that rectifies
the most faults within the allowed time
frame.
Heats are held on Thursday and Friday
in front of hundreds of school students,
who are brought to the show to get a
taste for the heavy vehicle industry as a
career option.
On the weekend, it is the community’s

strategy, as their approach to addressing
the challenge unfolds.
Things can get tense as the teams
watch their available time evaporate.
All finalists will receive tool prizes

Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia
(HVIA) chief executive Todd Hacking
says the number of nominations for the
2021 National Apprentice Challenge is
testimony to the emerging talent coming
into the heavy vehicle industry.
“The response has again been
exceptional, with nominations received
from second-, third- and fourth-year
apprentices, Australia-wide,” Hacking
says.
“These young people are at the
beginning of a journey that will open
doors to hugely rewarding career
paths with Australian and international
companies involved in the manufacture,
distribution and support of trucks, trailers
and their components.
“These talented young people have
competed for the honour of representing
their region; two apprentices from each of
our three regions have been selected to
come to the Brisbane Truck Show where
we stage the live competition.
“The successful apprentices will enjoy
an all-expenses-paid trip to the 2021
Brisbane Truck Show for the four days.”
The event is being coordinated by
former HVIA director Chris Musch, who
will now oversee the selection process.
“To determine the final teams, all
nominees will sit a two-hour online test,
set by TAFE Queensland SkillsTech,”
Musch says.
“The two apprentices with the
best results in the exam from each
region form the team for their region.
“The teams represent the Eastern
Region, comprising apprentices from
Queensland, New South Wales and the
ACT; Southern Region representing
Victoria, Tasmania & South Australia;
and the North-Western Region from
Western Australia and the Northern
Territory.”
Musch knows first-hand how far an
apprentice’s career can go.
“I started in this great industry as an
apprentice when I was 15, just like our
nominees,” he says.
“It has given me opportunities to work
in many different sectors of the industry,
both here in Australia and overseas, from
the shop floor and into different levels of
management.
“It is also important to acknowledge
the companies that invest in these young
people and the industry’s future.
“Congratulations to all of them for
nominating their apprentices into this
year’s Challenge.”

GUINNESS WORLD RECORD
When
push
comes to
shove
Amongst the raft of events at the 2021 Brisbane Truck Show will be a charity fundraising
Guinness World Record attempt for the heaviest truck push by strongman Troy Conley
TROY CONLEY is very strong. Very, very
strong. A quick search of his name
online and you will see him pulling
aeroplanes, semi-trailers and even a
fleet of 16 cars.
There is something incredibly likeable
about the guy, and you don’t have to scratch
the surface far to see what it is. It is what
motivates him.
Over the past couple of years, Conley has
had a lot of attention due to his many amazing
exploits.
He has had more than a fair go at a number
of phenomenal records, so it was inevitable
that a Guinness World Record was going to
feature his name very soon and could very
well be as a result of his next challenge, during
the South Bank Truck Festival.
“What’s important for me is the fundraising,”
Conley says.
“That’s absolutely number one. If we
can drive that past $30,000, that would be
incredible. The record is then a nice bonus.”
Conley says that while the challenges are
great fun, they are for a very sombre reason.
“It’s all about helping kids that have been
seriously injured or diagnosed with critical
illnesses like cancer and leukemia,” he
explains.
“Unfortunately, that is what happened with
young Ava. At just two-years-old, she was
diagnosed with a rare form of leukaemia and
subsequently lost over 98 per cent of her bone
marrow.
“Thankfully, now, five years on, she’s okay
and in remission, largely thanks to the support
Little Wings, Ronald McDonald House and
Sydney Children’s Hospital offer.”
Last November, Conley was attempting to
break the Guinness World Record for Most
Cars pulled by an Individual with 16 Hyundais,
weighing over 25 tonnes. Unfortunately, he
came up short of the record by five metres due
to a misplaced foot on one of the car’s brakes!
To keep momentum going and keep driving
the fundraising, Conley was looking for another
challenge.
“I’ll be looking to set a new Guinness World
Record for the heaviest truck pushed by an
individual for 100ft (30m). Currently, this is 11
tonnes.”
Well, thanks to Daimler Truck and Bus
Australia, we have the vehicle: a 12-tonne
Freightliner Cascadia.
To be eligible for a Guinness World Record,
the area used has to be surveyed by a
qualified surveyor and certified to be within
one per cent of 100 per cent flat. We have
found that surface on Little Stanley Street in
South Bank.
“After the failed world record attempt last
year, I received a message from Ava’s mum,”
Conley adds.
“For all the things I’ve done in my life,
nothing has moved me in the way that did.
“So, now I’m a man possessed, and a man
on a mission, to ensure we reach our $30,000
target.”
It doesn’t do it justice not to include the
whole note from Ava’s mum, Kathy, but here is
a small excerpt:
“Ava and I were chatting about you and she
realised you lived at Ronald McDonald house
as well for a long time when you were little,
then the penny dropped.
“You could see her eyes begin to sparkle.
She asked ‘so I could do that?’
“I think it would be amazing if you could
go and tell all the kids who stay at Ronald
McDonald house your story.
“You understand gratitude like we do; it is
this level of gratitude we have for you today for
unlocking our little girl’s potential.”
Conley is truly an inspiring bloke –
passionate, relentless in pursuing excellence
and, most of all, genuinely caring.
“Going the extra mile like I am at the
moment to help the community, to allow kids
like Ava to be able to follow their dreams, and
support families like hers when they need it
the most; that’s all I need,” Conley says.
Make sure you are there to support Conley
on Friday morning, May 14.
You can make a pledge or a donation to help
Conley reach that target on the BTS website:

Restoration
masterpiece
In 1968, our classic Thornycoft A2 made the
perfect stage for the opening ceremony of the very
first Queensland Truck Show
THE COLLABORATION between local
industry members was the precursor to
the formation of the HVIA’s predecessor,
the Commercial Vehicle Industry
Association of Queensland.
It looks like we are rebuilding the old girl from
the ground-up with its shiny new tyres fitted to
freshly painted wheels and now attached to a
stunningly restored chassis.
Next is the tray and, alongside that, the talented students at TAFE Skills Tech
Queensland are restoring and reconstructing the radiator. TAFE Queensland
SkillsTech is, quite literally, forging forward with the Thornycroft restoration
project. Parts for a 1926 Thornycroft A2 are not easily sourced at your local
auto shop; in fact, many of her original components were handmade. A new
engine fan, headlight rim and steering wheel have been cast at TAFE’s foundry
in Acacia Ridge, with the use of Ron Toy’s Thornycroft as a template.
It is all part of our 50th anniversary legacy project, leading towards having
her on display at the 2021 Truck Show. However, following 95 years of decay,
we need to be patient with the process of bringing her back to her former glory.
We really need to thank Neil Findlay from Findlay Import & Trade, PJ’s
Custom Bodies, Dulux Refinish, Tosca Industries and the team from NTI.

VIRTUAL TOUR
BTS goes virtual
In the week following the 2021 Brisbane Truck Show, an all-new international online
event will take place from Monday, May 17 to Sunday, May 23, 2021
THIS VIRTUAL EVENT will create
a highly interactive experience
to engage more with the brands
you love and will be attended by
visitors from home and abroad.
The pictures alongside this article were
produced as a sample walk-through to
illustrate how the experience would work
for visitors exploring stands, and include
walk (climb)-throughs of trucks. (Thanks
to CMV in Adelaide for helping with our
sample footage).
As you wander through each display,
you will see a variety of clickable
attachments, video interviews and more.
All exhibitors will feature on the maps,
however, a selection of exhibitors have
selected the all-out premium options, so
you can really have some fun with those.
The event will be promoted to
audiences from across international
markets as well as be a home-grown
record of the show.
With no other major international
industry events taking place throughout
2020 and maybe even 2021, all eyes are
on Brisbane.
The online version of the show will
be particularly valuable for exhibitors
with international customer bases,
or aspirations to reach into overseas
markets.
Of course, we know some Australian
Truck Show regulars cannot make it to the
show this year, and, likewise, attendees
that have made it to the show might want
a second look at the products on display.
The event will feature interactive
walk-throughs, guided tours, interviews
and special features and has been
developed as part of HVIA’s strategy to
“As you wander through each display, you will
see a variety of clickable attachments, video
interviews and more”
make the event CovidSafe for everybody.
At the time of publication, we are busy
building content and virtual experiences
for all visitors to explore. This includes:
• A week of BTS TV video podcasts,
webinars and product presentations
• A flyover of the South Bank Truck
Festival
• A hosted video walk-through of the
show
• The full BTS21 Manufacturers Media
tour
• Walk arounds of all levels of the show
and South Bank Truck Festival
• The Civil Construction Field Days heavy
equipment and machinery show
• Product unveilings
• Interviews with MDs, engineers and
product designers from leading
companies around the world
• Interviews with BTS21 attendees
• Live entertainment events.
Make sure you jump online in the week
following the 2021 Brisbane Truck Show
and explore the industry’s favourite show
from a whole new perspective.

Rubber hits the road
It is one thing for road transport operators to see all this technology on display; it is
altogether another to start planning for integrating the equipment into your own fleet
HOW CAN YOU be confident that
the equipment will deliver on its
promise? Will it be backed with the
level of support, parts and servicing
infrastructure necessary to keep
your fleet on the road?
Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia (HVIA)
is coming to the party with an event that
gives trucking operators the knowledge and
support to take your heavy vehicle fleet into
the new decade and beyond.
It’s an addition to the event calendar that
will provide attendees with everything you
need to know to put that equipment into
your fleet.

multi-streamed forum of new trucks, trailers
and components led by the experts that can
show operators how to get the most from
them and application of new technology into
their fleets – right now.
The Brisbane Truck Show is a great
opportunity to get up close to the absolute
latest in heavy vehicles and everything that
goes into making them tick.
ComVec takes all that to the next level,
exploring everything you need to know
about operating that equipment for your
particular task.
It gives heavy vehicle operators insights
that will make a tangible difference to their
productivity from day one.
Increased productivity means increased
profitability.
Exhibitors will also hold short information
sessions about their vehicles, technology
and components – explaining how the gear
suits your particular task.
ComVec has not forgotten its roots either.
As Australia’s long-standing premier heavy
vehicle engineering conference, ComVec
has always been a unique forum for body
builders to get to know new truck models
and what they are capable of before
designing bodies to suit.

local industry comprises hundreds
of innovative trailer, specialised vehicle,
component, equipment and technology
manufacturers and suppliers, in addition to
the product assembly of global heavy vehicle
brands such as Volvo, Mack, Iveco, Kenworth

major truck manufacturer/importer and dealer
network, most of Australia’s major trailer
manufacturers and an ever-growing list of
their suppliers and distributors.
HVIA membership features a strong offering
through a range of benefits, ranging from

support service, Employer Assist hotline,
regular networking events and information
forums across the country, and world-class
national events: including the southern
hemisphere’s largest road transport event
– the Brisbane Truck Show and the biennial
ComVec Conference.
CELEBRATING 50 YEARS
HVIA recently celebrated the 50th
anniversary of the Commercial Vehicle
Industry Association of Queensland
(CVIAQ); acknowledging the signing of the
organisation’s original constitution, which is
the same governing document adopted by the
members of HVIA upon its formation almost
six years ago.
HVIA president John Drake reflects on
the legacy of the organisation, paying
tribute to the continuous membership
HVIA – KEY POINTS
• HVIA represents and advances the
interests of Australian manufaws
and suppliers of heavy vehicles
and their components, equipment
and technology
• HVIA’s vision is to be “an innovative
and prosperous heavy-vehicle
industry supporting the safest and
most productive fleet”
• HVIA’s objective is to positively
influence the development and
maintenance of policy, legislation,
regulation and technical standards

of six companies that joined in 1970:
Haulmark Trailers (Australia); Iveco Trucks
Australia; BPW Transpec; Volvo Group Australia;
Russ Engineering; and Penske Transport Group
International.
“I want to take this opportunity to thank
each of these organisations for their ongoing
support and loyalty,” Drake says.
“Fifty years of continuous membership is
rare and a feat worthy of the highest praise
and acknowledgement from HVIA and their
peers.”
Former CVIAQ president Mark Johnston of
Haulmark Trailers adds that HVIA’s formation
was a very important step in the development
and professionalism of the industry.
“The founders and early members of the
CVIAQ had great vision and passion for the
industry,” Johnston says.
“Undoubtedly, the true value of this
association is watching a room full of
industry competitors all working together for
the common good of the industry, not the
individual.”
Michael May, managing director of
Iveco Trucks (Australia and New Zealand),
adds that: “We continue to be an active
member because it’s an important platform
to talk about safety, innovation and the things
that are important, not only to our industry
but the broader community as an essential
service.”

A business with a purpose
For five years NTI has been on course to help find a cure for Motor Neurone Disease (MND)
through restoring vintage trucks, and raffling them off to raise funds for MND research
NTI’S LATEST RESTO TRUCK, a 1946
electric blue Ford Jailbar called
‘Jolene’, is on display, and tickets
on sale, on the Plaza Level for the
duration of the 2021 Brisbane Truck Show.
The truck will be raffled live on Sunday, May
16 at the show.
But how did Australia’s leading truck and
equipment insurer become so committed to
the cause?
Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is terminal
and has no cure, so when NTI’s former CEO
Wayne Patterson received his diagnosis in
2015, he reacted the same way he did to
every problem confronting him in life: he
took it on directly.
Even after Patterson’s passing in 2018,
his legacy at NTI is undeniable and,
thanks to his work with the MND and Me
Foundation, will continue to benefit MND
patients and researchers.
“Wayne took over as CEO at a time when
NTI’s survival was questionable,” says
current CEO Tony Clark.
“He inspired people to make the company
work, and the values he put in place are
still here today. That’s why, when Wayne
got diagnosed, we knew he’d want to build
something lasting, something to help. So we
did, in his honour.”
BIG DISEASE, LITTLE RESEARCH
MND attacks the nerves that link the brain
to the muscles – the motor neurones. They
degenerate and die, causing muscles to
weaken and eventually fail. These muscles
include those that control movement,
speech, swallowing and breathing. The mind
and senses are usually unaffected.
50
The average life expectancy after
diagnosis is two to three years. Every day
in Australia, two people are diagnosed, and
two die. Currently, around 2,100 Australians
have the disease.
When Patterson passed, the impact on
NTI was immediate. Even though he’d left
in 2007, he was still fondly remembered
across the country – and the team at NTI
wanted to continue his legacy. They decided
instead of donating money, they would do
something that reflected his values.
“We decided we would really get
involved,” Clark says.
“We could donate money, but we really
wanted to engage the transport, logistics
and construction industries and the
insurance industry.”
NEW TRUCK, MEET OLD TRUCK
The team decided to restore a 1946
International Model K5. NTI team members
Don Greer and Peeter Liiv got cracking.
With NTI’s industry partners on board
to help with the more specialised work
(panel beating, spray painting, etc), they
got the ‘Green Diamond’ back on the road.
Raffled in 2017, with the winning ticket being
drawn in Brisbane’s King George Square,
the proceeds – more than $55,000 –went to
MND and Me.
Green Diamond wasn’t a true concourse
restoration, and while the team wanted to do
another like it, they decided to take a more
modern approach.
“That’s where we came up with the idea
of turning new trucks into old trucks,” says
Clark.
More restorations followed, and the
team wanted to make them suitable for
day-to-day running. That’s why they’ve got
modern engines and features such as power
steering, air conditioning and anti-brake
lock systems.
‘Roxanne’, a 1946 Ford Jailbar, was the
next project, and she raised more than
$200,000 for the cause after being raffled at
the 2019 Brisbane Truck Show.
Clark notes the team couldn’t have gotten
the trucks on the road without contributions
from our partners, none of whom hesitated
to lend a hand.
“They’ve been very generous with their
time,” Clark says.
“Some of it’s donated, some of it’s at cost
price. Once you let them know what it’s for,
you don’t have to knock on the door twice.”
NTI’s 2021 resto truck, Jolene, is now up
for grabs. Raffle tickets are available online
now at www.nti.com.au/about/community/
win-jolene and every day at the 2021
Brisbane Truck Show.

MORRIS FINANCE
A
POSITIVE CASH FLOW within your
business is important to maintain
healthy growth. This can be rather
tricky if you need to purchase large
essential assets and equipment for your
business.
However, buying a new or used truck
has never been less taxing with the
federal government’s economic stimulus
packages.
If you have invested in assets for your
business in the past year, the Instant
Asset Write-Off Scheme may help reduce
your taxable income and improve your
cash flow. And if you are considering
making a purchase in the future, you
may be able to reap the benefits of the
Temporary Full Expensing Scheme.
These two government
measures have been introduced
to stimulate growth, investment
and job creation within Australian
businesses.
The Instant Asset Write-Off Scheme
is available to businesses with an
aggregated turnover of up to $500
million and applies to assets up to
$150,000 each in value purchased before
December 31, 2020, and used or installed
by June 30, 2021.
Temporary full expensing was
introduced in the 2020 Federal Budget
and applies to businesses with an
aggregated turnover of up to $5 billion
for new and used eligible assets of any
value purchased and installed by June
30, 2022.
Under the Instant Asset Write-Off
Scheme, any assets bought (totalling up
to $150,000), regardless of whether they
are new or second-hand, can be written

off in the same financial year following
simplified depreciation. This may apply to
assets such as:
• light and heavy commercial vehicles
• equipment and machinery
• earthmoving and construction
equipment
• business vehicles
• manufacturing and industrial
equipment
Businesses can also benefit from the
Instant Asset Write-Off Scheme multiple
times. However, it’s important to note that
if the item is also for personal use, you
must apportion that amount and deduct
it from your claim.
The temporary full expensing plan
will apply to new depreciable assets
and the cost of improvements to
existing eligible assets, allowing
businesses to claim an immediate
deduction of the full value of all
new, eligible, depreciable assets of
any value that are first used or installed
before June 30, 2022.
The scheme is essentially a greatly
expanded accelerated depreciation
program that allows businesses to claim
a tax deduction for the full value of the
purchase after its use, rather than claim
depreciation amounts over several years.
CASE STUDY
Here’s an example. Greg owns a transport
company, Greg’s Transport Pty Ltd, which
has an aggregated annual turnover of

QUEENSLAND GOVERNMENT
KNOCKING ON THE world’s door 12
months ago was a virus that would
change our everyday lives.
While others languished in their
response, our community rallied.
Thanks to the efforts of freight operators,
businesses and industry, Queensland’s
economy kept moving – with truck drivers
leading the charge, keeping our supermarket
shelves stocked and transporting our
world-class products.
What we saw was Queenslanders
work together to tackle the impacts of a
pandemic that continues to ravage other
countries today.
The heavy vehicle industry’s role in that
effort, working with our government to
establish dedicated freight lanes at border
controls, was critical and helped ensure our
state is today the place to be.
Our collective efforts means the
Palaszczuk Government can now focus on
the state’s economic recovery plan and keep
construction powering on to create jobs.
Over the next decade, the volume of
freight in Queensland is anticipated to
grow more than 20 per cent, which is why
we’re delivering our fifth record roads and
transport program: a $26.9 billion pipeline
of work over the next four years to support
freight efficiency and safety.
While supporting greater productivity for
our heavy vehicle industry, it will also spark
23,600 jobs at a time we need them most.
The vast majority of that investment
– $17.8 billion – will go into roads and
transport outside the south east corner,
making sure from paddock and pit to port,
we’re building better roads.
That is 66 per cent of our road and
transport spend in regional and rural
54
Keeping Queensland moving
Working together with our heavy vehicle partners was key to the pandemic response
communities. This includes our 33 Bruce
Highway projects under way right now,
another 100-plus Bruce upgrades in the
pipeline and $5 billion in joint stimulus
funding between the Palaszczuk and
Australian governments.
It also includes a key $200 million
commitment we made during the election
to build a better Inland Freight Route from
Charters Towers to the border.
Our investment in the Inland Freight
Route will build on $125 million already
locked in between both federal and state
governments for upgrades along the key
stretch.
The Queensland Transport Logistics
Council indicates that a second freight
route will reduce long distance truck
movements on the Bruce Highway
by 49 per cent and deliver potential
productivity gains of 23 per cent.
That means trip savings of up
to four to five hours for heavy vehicles
travelling from far north Queensland to
Melbourne.
We would like to see the Inland
Freight Route designated as a nationally
important transport corridor by the Federal
Government, which could potentially unlock
a $1 billion program of jointly-funded
upgrades. We’re having those discussions
with Canberra now.
In addition to our record investment
in roads and transport infrastructure,
the Palaszczuk Government continues
to deliver on the 36 targets set as part
of our Heavy Vehicle Safety Action Plan,
while also working with industry to develop
new technologies to improve heavy vehicle
rest areas.
My department will showcase the Bruce
STAND
22
FOYER
Highway Rest Area Trial at this year’s show –
a pilot project that applies innovative on-site
intelligent transport systems technologies to
six heavy vehicle rest area locations along
the Bruce Highway.
Heavy vehicle drivers will have advanced
warning signs to provide parking availability
information in real time about 5km out
from the rest area. Solar powered lighting
and CCTV cameras are installed to increase
security for drivers helping them feel safer
while taking a break.
I encourage you to visit the Department’s
stand and find out more about what we’re
doing in this space as well as through our
record $26.9 billion roads and transport
program to support heavy vehicles
across Australia’s longest statecontrolled
road network.
Our Government values the
economic and social contributions
our heavy vehicle industry and its key
representatives like the Transport Workers
Union makes to Queensland.
We look forward to continuing to work
closely with heavy vehicle industry to
support its growth in Queensland and
beyond, and to meet the challenges and
opportunities ahead.
I would like to welcome you all to this
year’s Brisbane Truck Show – an event we’ve
been able to host because of your efforts
to manage the COVID-19 pandemic – and
congratulate the organisers for bringing
together this industry despite the challenges
of the pandemic.
A message from The Honourable Mark Bailey
MP, Minister for Transport and Main Roads,
Queensland.

Transport and Main Roads working together with
our heavy vehicle partners to make Queensland
the safest and most productive state in Australia.

BEST ON SHOW
Brisbane
stays strong
Despite seemingly insurmountable odds, the 2021
Brisbane Truck Show will go ahead with all the optimism
and opportunity that for decades has typified Australia’s
biggest and brightest trucking event. Sure, a few regular
exhibitors may have succumbed to ‘pandemic panic’,
but for the truly faithful and the boldly confident, the
2021 Brisbane show will be a stunning panacea marking
the start to far better days. Bring it on!
CREDIT WHERE IT’S DUE, Heavy Vehicle
Industry Australia (HVIA) has shown
immense fortitude and remarkable intent
to make the 2021 Brisbane Truck Show a
reality.
The challenges have been formidable. First came
an ill-considered and largely egotistical attempt
to end Brisbane’s reign as trucking’s premier
showpiece with an alternative event in Melbourne.
Then, of course, came the economic and social
hardships of a global pandemic. Yet, neither has
been enough to stall the association’s determination
to keep this vital biennial show alive and well.
58

But the greatest credit, of course, goes to the multitude
of exhibitors who have not only refused to fold in fear of the
unknown, but remained intent on showcasing their latest and
greatest products to a trucking fraternity eager for a burst of
glitter after the gloom of 2020.
Indeed, the 2021 Brisbane Truck Show will be like no other,
reflecting the true spirit of enduring dedication to an event that
has no equal in the southern hemisphere and is increasingly
regarded as one of the most interesting and innovative truck
shows on the world stage.
In fact, as Europe, Japan and America continue to claw their way
ever so slowly out of the pandemic mire, this year’s Brisbane show
will most likely be the only event of its kind anywhere in the world.
The future belongs to those who embrace it, and with the
truck market humming beyond all expectations, there will be
no shortage of big name brands whose dedication to ongoing
development and, critically, loyalty to customers and the industry
at large, will shine in trucks, trailers and trucking equipment of
the highest calibre.
What follows is simply a speculative snapshot of what a few of
the big players might have in store for Brisbane in 2021.
DAIMLER TRIFECTA
At the Brisbane Truck Show in 2019, Freightliner’s new Cascadia
conventional was a work in progress, still six months away from
an official launch on the Australian market.
Please follow cough and sneeze etiquette
59

BEST ON SHOW
But now, Cascadia is up and running and,
despite the disruptions imposed by a global
pandemic, Freightliner principals certainly won’t
be shy about putting their all-important flagship
front and centre in Brisbane.
In fact, Cascadia will be positioned face-to-face
across the aisle from arch-rival Kenworth, leaving
no doubt about Freightliner’s earnest intention to
tackle all and sundry in the conventional class.
Daimler insiders aren’t making any secret of an
intense desire to make Brisbane a major showcase
for Cascadia, with particular emphasis on the
model’s impressive powertrain and high level of
standard safety systems.
Consequently, it certainly won’t surprise to
see some extremely well presented and highly
appealing 116 and 126 models staring across at
the Kenworth clan.
We’re also wondering whether the
STAND
41
FOYER
multi-media digital dash display
already available in corporate colleague
Mercedes-Benz might make an
appearance in one of Freightliner’s
show trucks. We’ll know soon enough.
What’s more, it won’t surprise if
Freightliner operatives are confidently espousing
Cascadia’s ability to soon achieve a similar level of
success enjoyed by its Benz brethren.
The lavish Mercedes-Benz display in 2019
was one of the true highlights of the show and,
since then, the three-pointed star has gone
from strength to strength, finishing 2020 in
fourth place on the heavy-duty ladder with a
“It certainly
won’t surprise
to see some
extremely
well presented
and highly
appealing
116 and 126
models”
highly respectable 8.8 per cent of the category.
While there hasn’t been a great deal of news
on new Benz developments in recent times, it
would certainly be naïve to think the German giant
won’t have something special up its sleeve for this
year’s show.
The other big player in the Daimler fold is, of
course, Fuso. The Japanese nameplate is, in fact,
the biggest seller of all three Daimler brands on the
Australian market and, just as it did in 2019, this
year is sure to see a strong presentation of Shogun
heavy-duty models. A new 360hp (268kW) rating
has, for instance, been well received and is sure to
be one of several highlights.
Meantime, soft whispers that Shogun will later
this year be equipped with Daimler’s lively 13-litre

engine pushing out 500hp (373kW) or more
had us thinking the new flagship might make an
appearance in Brisbane. But it seems not. A tad too
early, according to one source.
However, there’ll be no shock (pardon the bad
pun) to see a number of electric Fuso e-Canters on
show in Brisbane.
Fuso is a critical technology base in the Daimler
group’s global development of electric powertrains
and now, more than ever, electric trucks are
gaining the interest of truck operators everywhere,
particularly in city and suburban delivery work.
Kenworth’s new T410SAR. However,
the big crowd-puller for Kenworth will
be a retro ‘Legend SAR’
PACCAR’S LEGENDS IN THE MAKING
No doubt about it, 2021 is a big year in the history
of Paccar Australia and the maker of Kenworth
and DAF trucks isn’t about to let the Brisbane
Truck Show pass without getting a few major STAND
messages out to the trucking public.
40
For starters, it’s now 50 years since the FOYER
first Kenworth truck was built in Australia
and, since then, the brand has evolved to the
point where it is widely regarded as the premier
brand on the Australian market.
Maintaining its stellar stance in our highly
competitive market means endless engineering
initiative and this year’s Brisbane show will feature
Kenworth’s latest effort, the T410SAR.
Utilising the same 2.1 metre-wide cab first shown
four years ago on the T610 and, soon after, the
T610SAR, the T410SAR is effectively the same as
its T410 counterpart, except for a couple of notable
differences, namely a set-forward front axle and a
more traditional hood and grille design.

Like the T410, the new model is
powered by the Paccar MX-13 engine but,
unlike its sibling, the SAR version was
engineered first to produce a modern
car-carrying prime mover before more
typical haulage roles. Either way, the end
result is a truck with broad appeal for a
multitude of tasks.
Coinciding with its 50 years of
Australian truck building, the other big
news on the Paccar front is the company’s
greatly expanded manufacturing
capability at its Bayswater facility in
Victoria. While Kenworth continues to be
the core of Paccar Australia’s operations,
company executives are quick to point out
the recently enhanced factory capacity –
built at a cost of around $40 million – is
also designed to significantly increase
DAF’s presence in the market through
greater local assembly.
As one high-ranking Paccar Australia
representative commented: “DAF these
days fills in the gaps we can’t fill with
Kenworth.”
Thus, it won’t surprise if the continental
“The once-in-a-lifetime Legend SAR will go on sale
for just 24 hours at the Brisbane show”
cab-over has a bigger presence on
Paccar’s exhibit than ever before, led
by the locally-assembled CF85 model,
which now not only offers a Euro 6 MX-13
engine out to 530hp (395kW) but also the
new MX-11.
We drove an early MX-11 last year and
can vouch for the engine’s exceptionally
responsive performance at its peak
output of 450hp (336kW).
There are also 370 and 410hp (276
and 306kW) versions, all coupled
to ZF’s Traxon 12-speed automated
transmission.
The biggest crowd-puller of all,
however, will be a truly special truck
known simply as the ‘Legend SAR’.
A retro truck like no other, this latest
recreation of a truly legendary workhorse
is supposed to be a secret but we know
there’s already a model being specially
prepared for the Brisbane show.
Like the Legend 900, which in 2017
drew a spectacular response from a
‘one day, one day only’ order period, the
once-in-a-lifetime Legend SAR will go
on sale for just 24 hours at the Brisbane
show.
Secret or not, word is out and there are
reports of eager truck operators putting
their orders in early. The big question is
‘how many and how much?’
Such is the SAR’s almost mystical
image as Kenworth’s first all-Australian
design, most insiders think the Legend
SAR will easily eclipse 300 orders in one
day. As for the price, it’ll be secondary in
the eyes of many but one thing’s for sure,
it won’t be cheap.

IVECO STANDS TALL
If everything goes to plan, Iveco’s stand will have
everything from a massive Astra 8x8 off-roader to
its recently revamped and highly popular Daily lightduty
range.
The plan, it seems, is to showcase the wide, and somewhat
understated, diversity that exists in the modern Iveco stable.
Now under the guidance of former senior Mercedes-Benz truck
executive Michael May, Iveco Australia finally appears to be in the
process of achieving the stability and opportunities that seem to
have eluded the company in many instances.
STAND
51
FOYER
Yet, unlike the 2019 Brisbane Truck Show, Iveco’s stand
this year won’t include the International ProStar, following
the decision last year by Navistar in the US to cease
production of right-hand drive models.
Despite the disappointment of ProStar’s demise, Iveco
is intent on showcasing the extent of a diverse model range
that includes the advanced X-Way line-up, the highly versatile
EuroCargo medium-duty contender and almost certainly, the
resilient Acco.
As the Brisbane Truck Show will demonstrate, there’s far more
to Iveco than initially meets the eye.
PENSKE ON PARADE
Like most of us, 2020 will probably go down as a year
never forgotten but hopefully never repeated for Penske
Commercial Vehicles.
In a difficult market, the three brands under the
Australian arm of automotive mogul Roger Penske found
the going particularly tough, with its premier nameplate
Western Star acquiring just 2.1 per cent of the national
heavy-duty truck market, followed by MAN with 1.7 per
cent and waste collection specialist Dennis Eagle barely
causing a blip on the radar at 0.5 per cent. All up, the
three brands delivered just 461 units in 2020.
But that was last year and it’ll be an
optimistic display on the Penske stand in
STAND
Brisbane this year.

After missing the 2017 show, Penske FOYER
Commercial Vehicles came back in
2019 with a strong presence, attracting
big crowds to its stand, all eager for a close look at a
barnstorming Western Star 6900 roadtrain model and
the broad expanse of a comprehensive MAN line-up.
Don’t be surprised if there’s a similar performance and
an even stronger presence this year.

Celebrating iconic trailer brands
A pandemic, lockdowns,
economic strife, a golden
harvest season and a rise in
business confidence – the
past 12 months have been
quite a ride. Through it
all, MaxiTRANS customers
have been at the coalface,
continuing to deliver the
needs of the nation
66
AUSTRALIA’S ROAD TRANSPORT INDUSTRY
has helped get the country through the
worst global pandemic in living memory
and kept our cities, as well as regional
communities, supplied with essential goods.
It’s something we can all be proud of.
Whether it be carting food to supermarkets in
the big cities, sending fruit to markets, moving
general freight between regional centres or
hauling last year’s bumper grain crop to ports
for export, MaxiTRANS’ customers have been
at the heart of it and that is something worth
celebrating.
This year marks 75 years for Australia’s
longest-standing trailer brand, Freighter. In
true MaxiTRANS style, there’ll be nothing selfcongratulatory
in the celebrations, with the
focus kept firmly on the many loyal Freighter
customers and the partnerships forged over
the years.
The story of Freighter will be vividly told at
the Brisbane Truck Show through a showcase
of customer videos, imagery and a visual
timeline of the Freighter journey. This will be
combined with vintage footage of Freighter
trailers, highlighting many key moments in its
75-year history.
“To know where you’re going you need to
know where you’ve come from,” MaxiTRANS
Managing Director and CEO Dean Jenkins
says.
“We’re proud to be a major part of the
history of Australian road transport through
this iconic trailer brand, and I’m sure our
customers will enjoy looking back at the
journey. It really highlights how far we’ve
come together.”
The Freighter story started back in 1945,
when an entrepreneur named Noel Peel saw
the potential growth in an already successful
trailer manufacturing business started by
Melbournian John McGrath.
Peel set up its company Freighters Ltd
before its first order of business: buying
McGrath trailers. History was made when the
first Freighter trailer rolled off the production
line in Melbourne in February 1946.
Production quickly skyrocketed and, by the
1970s, it’s said that nine out of 10 trailers on
Australian roads were Freighters.
Jenkins says Freighter owes its longevity to
its customers, many of whom are second and
third generation Freighter loyalists.
“That loyalty is never taken for granted,
though. It’s earnt through continual
improvement and innovation. We’re always
striving to meet our customers’ needs, and
that’s why so many customers trust Freighter
to do the job,” he explains.

“We’re proud to be a major part of the
history of Australian road transport through

Truck Show will be a circa-1950s
restored Freighter ‘strap’ trailer. This
historic workhorse normally sits on display
at MaxiTrans’ Ballarat manufacturing facility
and will be making the trip north to Brisbane,
where it will provide an eye-catching
counterpoint to a modern-day Freighter
drop deck semi-trailer.
Freighter is just one of many leading
trailer brands that fall under the MaxiTRANS
family banner. Maxi-CUBE, Hamelex White,
Lusty EMS, Trout River, AZMEB and Peki
make up the formidable MaxiTRANS stable and
will be proudly represented at the Brisbane
Truck Show through a display of trailers that
celebrates some of the great partnerships
STAND

FOYER
that the company has with its customers.
Also on display is MaxiTRANS’
national retail parts brand, MaxiPARTS,
showcasing the wide range of truck and
trailer parts available, which further
demonstrates the aftermarket support
offered to customers via the MaxiTRANS
national network.
Hamelex White celebrated its 25th
anniversary last year. A key innovator in
research and design, it was the first trailer
manufacturer to engineer blueprint designs
to operate under the performance-based
standards (PBS) scheme.
To help customers understand how PBS
could work for their business, the MaxiTRANS
stand will again be staffed by its in-house
PBS specialists.
“We’re inviting all visitors to come to the
MaxiTRANS stand to talk with one of our
in-house PBS specialists,” Jenkins says.
Hamelex White celebrated its 25th
anniversary last year
“MaxiTRANS has produced more
PBS-approved units than any other trailer
manufacturer. This is an achievement that
we are all very proud of, and thank all our
customers, suppliers and staff for their
ongoing support.”
The future is looking especially bright,
with MaxiTRANS’ new manufacturing facility
at Carole Park in Queensland now up and
running, replacing the existing facility in
Richlands. The new 14,303-square-metre
facility demonstrates MaxiTRANS’ ongoing
commitment to its customers and local
manufacturing, increasing its Australian
manufacturing capability and assisting in
creating 70 new jobs over the next five years.
The new facility is part of the Unite and
Recover initiative set up by the Queensland
government, designed to support Queensland
jobs and industry through the Covid-19
pandemic.
“It’s great news for the economy, great news
for employment and training in this important
industrial hub, and, most importantly, it
will allow us to continue to better serve our
customers and diversify our manufacturing
capabilities,” Jenkins says.
He adds the transport industry remains
a key component of the economic recovery
and has never been more important to the
country.
“People are recognising how essential
transport is in getting goods to where they
need to be. MaxiTRANS is proud to play our
part to allow our customers to continue to
deliver the needs of the nation,” Jenkins says.
“We love partnering with our customers to
help them achieve their goals and we look
forward to seeing all our customers at the
Brisbane Truck Show.”

WHILE THE TRANSPORT INDUSTRY has kept
Australians connected during the pandemic,
many owners and operators have been
unable to travel to meet customers and forge
those essential interstate relationships, giving
this year’s event the atmosphere of a grand reunion.
Not surprisingly, there’s a lot to catch up on.
Expect to see a focus on improved design and

maximising payload potential.
A bumper grain harvest has driven demand for bulk
haulage agricultural tippers, while improvements are set

The strength of Australian manufacturing will also

2021 marks 40 years for NSW-based

in the live floor market.
The 2019 Brisbane Truck Show saw Muscat
Trailers present a quad dog with a live floor and, this time
round, it’ll be debuting its new quad semi-live floor.
It’s touted as the first of its kind and represents
a major safety breakthrough, taking operators away
from tipper exclusion zones and traffic, eliminating the
associated risks and getting drivers into places they
would never dream of accessing with a tipper (under
bridges, in tunnels, around power lines, in narrow
streets), with materials unloaded by conveyor belt rather
than gravity.
Muscat Trailer’s Nicole Azzopardi says the team is
excited to be exhibiting again after a year of uncertainty
in the industry.
“This is a major show that brings suppliers and
customers together. It will be nice to be back seeing
some old friends, along with some new faces,” she says.
MAXITRANS
Celebration will be a key theme at the
MaxiTRANS stand, as one of its most
iconic brands, Freighter, turns 75.
An original 1950s Freighter trailer
will provide an eye-catching throwback to a

different era in trucking, while video testimonials from
loyal customers will highlight the long-standing passion
for the brand.
MaxiTRANS managing director and CEO Dean Jenkins
says the stand celebrates a milestone not just for
MaxiTRANS but for the whole industry.
“There’s a lot of confidence returning to the industry,”
he explains.
“This is a celebration of customers supporting
Australian manufacturing.
We pride ourselves on building trailers in Australia and
supporting Australian jobs.”
That’s only set to increase, too, with manufacturing
well under way at MaxiTRANS’ new Carole Park facility in
Queensland, part of the Queensland Government’s Covid
recovery package.
Bringing Freighter, Hamelex White and Lusty EMS
together on the one stand should also serve to solidify
MaxiTRANS’ brand recognition.
“The show is invaluable because you can meet as
many customers as possible in one location,” Jenkins
says.
“It’s about showing customers all the benefits that
come under the MaxiTRANS banner.”

sideloaders without compromising road
network access.
General manager Grahame Heap says the
new design utilises clever chassis design and
axle groupings that will allow considerably higher
weight limits.
“You can do that by use of quad axles under the
performance-based standards (PBS) scheme, but you
then start to limit yourself as to where you can drive,”
Heap says.
“With this scheme we’re looking at still running under
general mass limits, but with a considerably higher load,
so you won’t need to change schemes.
“The key to this innovation was working out how we
can increase payload while still maintaining a good level
of access. That’s what we’ve been working on and that’s
what we’ve achieved.”
It’s news that’s sure to excite anyone running
intermodal carriers, and all part of the continual
refinement that Hammar work at year after year, it
explains.
Heap says keeping the stand looking fresh is a priority.
“Each Truck Show we like to bring a new innovation or

best single marketing opportunity, particularly when
showcasing new designs and developments. It allows
people to see and touch the product firsthand, to better

“While the country was negotiating the pandemic,
many cropping regions were experiencing a bumper

THE GONG is all set to sound in the 2021 Brisbane
Truck Show. There may be more health and safety
guidelines in place this year but spirits are high,
with a long list of parts and accessories businesses
looking forward to the opportunity to connect with
visitors and talk about their latest offerings.
Many parts and accessories business managers that we
have spoken to agree that, although Covid-19 created some
uncertainty within the industry last year, particularly around
March and April, from May onwards the industry rallied and
there was a significant increase in demand for safer parts
and more efficient equipment.
Here, we take a look at what to expect at some of the
stands this year.
FINDLAY IMPORT & TRADE
Findlay will be showcasing many of its 20+
brands of tyres and other products, including

industry – as successful fleet operators for most of those
years through good times and bad – which taught us a lot.
Whether you’re an owner-driver or a national fleet operator,

The company is also offering a promotion for Brisbane
Truck Show visitors.

“See us at the Brisbane Truck Show and share in our

WARBY TOOLS
Brisbane-based trade tools and
equipment supplier Warby Tools will be

some of its most popular tools.
The company will also have some key
suppliers on hand to talk about their products and
launch some new items that will hit the market this year.
Established in 1979, Warby Tools specialises in
supplying tools for truck, bus, trailer and earthmoving
sectors.
“We work very closely with our suppliers to get the best
deals for our customers,” Warby Tools manager Justin
Currie says.
“We have a loyal customer base and this is due to not
only our expertise and guidance on tools to suit but also
our prices. This year we have launched a new logo and
hope to move into online sales as well.”

technology and roller brake testing,” Levanta sales and
marketing director Bradley Dunn says.
“Both of these have a substantial return on investment,
something that the industry is hungry to find. This is
particularly so with wheel alignment as you can make
significant savings in fuel and tyre wear, as well as driver
fatigue.
“As the Brisbane Truck Show is held close to the end of
financial year (EOFY), we expect to be offering some really
hot prices and package deals for anyone that is keen to
do business before EOFY.”

“If you’re serious about cleaning your rig, you need
a tough Aussie-built pressure cleaner from Spitwater,”
Rodgers explains.
“Versatile accessory packs make your new Spitwater

hoses, hose reels, detergent saving foamers and
grime-busting turbo lances.
“Spitwater machines are absolutely ideal for workshop
use as well as for large and small fleet owners and

at the 2021 Brisbane
Truck Show. Visit PACCAR
Australia in the Foyer
(Stand 40) to see all that
is new this year and join
the team in celebrating
50 glorious years of
manufacturing Kenworth
trucks in Australia
THE PACCAR Australia stand is going to
display some of the company’s newest
and most popular trucks this year.
Among the highlights will be the new
Kenworth T410SAR, which was launched in the
middle of last year.
Purpose-designed and manufactured to
specification with uncompromising quality
at PACCAR’s production facility in Melbourne,
Kenworth trucks are one of the most durable,
heavy-duty trucks ever built and have led the
local market segment for more than a decade.
This year, Kenworth is celebrating 50 years
of manufacturing excellence in Australia.
It was on March 2, 1971 that the first
all-Australian Kenworth rolled off the line at
the Bayswater factory in Victoria.
Fifty years on, 60 models and 70,000 trucks
later, Kenworth is now not only Australia’s
leading heavy-duty truck builder, it has
become an integral part of many Australian
industries, companies and transport families.
The company’s success has been
underpinned throughout by an unwavering
commitment to designing and manufacturing
trucks specifically for Australian conditions.
Also on display will be some of DAF Trucks
Australia’s XF and CF models. Released in
February last year, the XF and CF model range
took the Best in Class gong at the 2020 Good
Design Week.
DAF’s XF and CF range trucks are pushing
the envelope of excellence in safety, fuel
efficiency, driver comfort, exterior styling and
cab design for the Australian heavy-duty truck
market.

The team of DAF engineers work
closely with their Dutch counterparts to
validate the trucks for local conditions. Some
of the engineers will be there at the stand to
share their knowledge and offer advice for
customers seeking their right truck for their
business applications.
KENWORTH
Combining the best attributes of both a
cab-over and conventional truck, on display at
the stand this year will be the new Kenworth
T410SAR, available with PACCAR Powertrain,
including the MX-13 460hp (340kW) or
510hp (375kW) engine and PACCAR 12-speed
automated transmission. An ideal combination
for single trailer, tipper and dog and a variety
of heavy-duty applications.
Offering better weight distribution with its
set-forward front axle and classic Kenworth
styling, the T410SAR delivers bigger payloads,
a superior driver environment, improved fuel
economy and a greater choice of options.
Other Kenworth models on display will be
a T360 rigid day cab, T610 with 1,400mm
sleeper and Cummins X15 Euro 6 engine, and
the iconic T909 and K200 models.
One of the key design aspects of all
Kenworth trucks is safety. These trucks are
designed, tested and built to weather the
tough Australian conditions. The design and
engineering teams are focused on producing
trucks that have the right engine power,
torque, gearing, axle ratios, braking system,
wheels, tyres and cooling management for

different applications. Meanwhile, the
aircraft-quality alloys provide structural
strength to the cabs that are designed
to offer outstanding visibility – forward,
back and all around.
Talk to the team at Stand 40 to
find out more about these and other
Kenworth models and PACCAR’s innovative
technologies including its integrated PACCAR
Powertrain.
DAF
DAF Trucks Australia will showcase
models from its Euro 6 range. The result of
extensive experience and redesign in Europe,
DAF Trucks launched its next generation of
models in Australia early last year – the new
XF and CF range.
The new models feature engine innovations,
new drivelines and aerodynamic optimisations
that significantly reduce fuel consumption and
increase productivity.
They also feature enhanced safety features,
and an updated interior and exterior design for
driver comfort and appeal.
Since the assembly of the first DAF truck
in Australia three years ago, DAF has had a
significant increase in production. In fact, the
number of DAF trucks being produced in the
Bayswater manufacturing facility has doubled
since 2018.
The first model to have rolled off the
assembly line was the CF85 510 FTT model.
Now, the Victorian facility is producing
the CF 530 FTT, CF 480 FTT and CF450 FTT
sleeper cab models from semi knocked-down
(SKD) kits supplied by DAF Trucks in The
Netherlands.

DAIMLER
Daimler Trucks hosts innovation station
The first all-electric truck available in Australia, the smartest cab-over and the
most advanced conventional truck you can buy
DAIMLER TRUCKS and its vast dealer
network can provide solutions to any
transport requirements across all
segments with its Mercedes-Benz,
Freightliner and Fuso brands.
Whether it be a Canter tipper for a local
landscaper, an Actros B-double line-haul truck
or a Cascadia fuel tanker, Daimler Trucks has
products for every major segment in Australia.
Even better, customers benefit from
the engineering might of Daimler, which
invests billions of dollars in research and
development every year to stay at the front of
the pack.
Daimler Trucks is a pioneer of Euro 6 (and
equivalent) emissions technology in Australia,
delivering improved fuel economy and
reduced emissions across a wide range of
applications since 2016.
Safety is also at the forefront, with
advanced emergency braking systems
(AEBS) technology, which can
automatically brake in emergencies
without driver input, available across all
segments.
Daimler has also rolled out a raft of
technology to aid drivers, including smart
shifting automated transmissions, adaptive
cruise control, improved cabin refinement and
smart displays and controls.
Beyond the metal, Daimler Trucks is also
leading the pack when it comes to lowering
the cost of ownership and helping customers
get the most out of their trucks.

FUSO
There is no better way to celebrate 50 years
of Canter than presenting Australia’s first
all-electric production truck, the eCanter. The
1969 Canter, which was actually sold with a
Dodge badge on the nose, is worlds away from
the near-silent eCanter, which emits zero
local emissions and makes almost no sound
as it leads us all into an exciting new world of
electric freight transport.
Also making its public debut is the Euro
6 Fighter medium-duty, which has been
upgraded with AEBS and lane departure
warning system. It also features a new Euro
6 emission rating, well ahead of the current
Euro 5 requirement. The advanced Shogun
eCanter electric truck
heavy-duty truck is also on hand, with a new
360 model recently added to the range.
FREIGHTLINER
The Cascadia, the most advanced conventional
truck in Australia is front and centre. With a full
suite of safety technology and the only driver
airbag in the class, the Cascadia sets a new
bar for safety. It is so advanced it can use GPS
technology to advise the truck when to shift
gears for optimum fuel economy.
Making its debut is the optional electronic
dashboard, which consists of two massive
screens (12-inches [30.5cm] and 10-inches
[25cm]), which set a new standard for
conventional truck interfaces, Daimler says.
These high-resolution screens deliver a
truckload of information and controls with a
system that could be at home in the latest
luxury vehicles, while retaining hard buttons
for the must-have controls, such as climate
control and audio volume.
MERCEDES-BENZ
A truck that actively keeps itself in its lane will
be part of the Mercedes-Benz experience in
Brisbane. Equipped with level-two automation,
several Actros units are currently being
validated in harsh Australian conditions.
One of these trucks has just participated in
the Great Australian Drive. It is also equipped
with fuel-saving innovations including
predictive powertrain control, which uses GPS
data for optimal gear changes and selects
neutral to coast when safe. Telemetry from the
truck will reveal the amount of ‘free kilometres’
this coasting delivers and will be sure to get
your attention. This technology, along with long
service intervals and proven durability, helps
customers drive down running costs.
Mercedes-Benz will also reveal a major
upgrade for its rigid range, which now comes
with safety pack on all variants.

NHVR
Building a safer, more productive
heavy vehicle industry
The National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR) is looking forward to catching up with
drivers, operators and executives at this year’s Brisbane Truck Show, to reflect on the
challenges of 2020 and discuss future safety and productivity opportunities
Truck Show is always a great
opportunity for us to connect
with the heavy vehicle industry,”
“The
NHVR CEO Sal Petroccitto says.
“And this year there’s a lot to talk about,
with the Heavy Vehicle National Law
(HVNL) under review and new technology
changing the way we work.
“If you’ve got a question or suggestion
for the NHVR, make sure you visit our
stand and say hi to our team. We’re always
ready to listen and help.”
The NHVR has recently proposed a
number of changes to the HVNL, which is
being reviewed by the National Transport
Commission.
“The law should be simpler and more
flexible, with rules that support operators
that invest in safety and manage risk,”
Petroccitto says.
“We also want to make it easier for the
industry to introduce and operate more
performance-based standards (PBS)
vehicles, including moving mature
designs to the prescriptive fleet and
streamlining approval processes.”
Fatigue management is another
key topic for drivers, operators and the
broader supply chain when meeting with
the NHVR.
“We know fatigue distraction detection
technology (FDDT) is a game changer in
better managing individual driver fatigue,
which is why we’re leading an FDDT pilot
involving 12 operators,” Petroccitto
explains.
“We’re also encouraging drivers
and operators to use NHVR-approved
electronic work diaries, which enable
drivers to record their work hours at
the touch of a button, rather than spending
time ruling lines and counting multiple
STAND
106
FOYER
time periods on pieces of paper.”
Petroccitto says that NHVR staff
will also be running fatigue choices
sessions throughout the Truck Show
to highlight the flexibility on offer to
help operators and drivers manage
their fatigue outcomes.
“If you want to take part, just talk to the
NHVR team on the exhibition floor and
arrange a session,” he adds.
“We’ll also have experts on site to
address a range of topics including
access permits, vehicle standards,
Chain of Responsibility, accreditation,
PBS and more.
“We want to hear your thoughts and
ideas about how we can help create
a safer, more productive industry for
everyone.

everyone at the show.”

ZF truck technology
At the 2021 Brisbane Truck Show, ZF Services
Australia will showcase the latest products for
the commercial vehicle industry from
ZF and its family of brands
ZF SERVICES AUSTRALIA
TAKING CENTRE STAGE will be ZF’s TraXon,
the world’s first modular transmission,
which is increasingly selected as original
equipment by commercial vehicle
manufacturers, ZF says.
Light, strong and intelligent, TraXon mates a
basic high-tech automatic transmission with
various setting-off and shift modules.
TraXon offers fuel savings through
its use of operational efficiencies and
refined driving experience, throughout
its GPS-based connectivity.
Arguably one of the most technically
advanced truck transmissions in the world,
says ZF, TraXon was further enhanced in
2018 by the addition of an optional predictive
maintenance function that continually
monitors vehicle operation.
This technology offers fleet operators
the capability of monitoring the condition
of components such as transmission oil or
clutch discs, via the Cloud.
Maintenance can thus be planned
proactively, which in turn could shorten
vehicle downtimes and avoid stranded
vehicles. This has the potential to also reduce
costs and extend the transmission’s service
life at the same time.
With the new predictive maintenance
function, ZF is preparing its successful
modular transmission TraXon for a digital
future in the commercial vehicle industry.
WABCO
ZF Services Australia will also showcase
the latest products from Wabco, the newest
addition to the ZF family.
Displayed will be Wabco’s latest trailer
electronic braking systems (TEBS) along with a
range of accessory systems packaged under
the Intelligent Trailer Program (ITP) banner.
Wabco’s TEBS and ITP systems not only
increase trailer safety and stability, but offer
STAND

rich data and connectivity solutions that
improve fleet’s operations and efficiency.
The acquisition of Wabco was a strategic
decision by ZF as part of its Next Generation
Mobility strategy to develop and deliver
technology solutions that make cars and
commercial vehicles see, think and act in order
to reduce emissions and increase road safety.
AFTERMARKET
Another focus for ZF this year will be its
aftermarket component lines, with displays
focusing on its product brands, Lemförder,
Sachs and TRW.
Lemförder chassis and steering components
can be used as direct replacements, or to
up-spec trucks to increase payloads, reduce
fuel consumption and optimise driver
dynamics.
Sachs shock absorbers are manufactured
to original-equipment specifications and fit a
wide range of trucks and commercial vehicles,
plus trailers, and there’s even a range of units
to suspend the driver’s cab.
Also showcased will be the TRW range of
steering and suspension components.
REMANUFACTURING
ZF’s remanufacturing capabilities will also
be highlighted, with ZF Services Australia
offering the market a range of ‘remanufactured’
“ZF’s remanufacturing capabilities will
also be highlighted ”
truck transmissions – all finished to ‘as
new’ original-equipment standards.
‘Reborn’ components such as
transmissions, axles and clutches are
restored using the same manufacturing
production processes utilised in their original
manufacture.
In its remanufacturing process, ZF uses
between 50 and 90 per cent less material
than the production of equivalent new units,
which in turn provides a benefit in reduced
manufacturing energy consumption and CO2
emissions of around 90 per cent.
Globally, ZF brings over 100 years’
experience to the automotive industry and
considers itself to a reputable and reliable
partner through the entire life cycle of its
products.
ZF is the world’s leading integrated systems
provider for commercial vehicle technology
and is well positioned to capitalise on future
demand for autonomous, efficient and
connected commercial vehicles and to create
long-term value and security for its customers.

Moore Trailers is showing its wide range of
tipper trailers at the Brisbane Truck Show
MOORE TRAILERS
Proudly Australian-owned and operated, Moore Trailers
focuses on having a close-knit family dynamic
AMAJOR EXPANSION has been occurring
at Moore Trailers – a 33-year-old proud
family-owned and operated Australian
company.
Situated in Pittsworth, near Toowoomba,
Moore Trailers is a name that is synonymous
with reliability and injects a lot into the
Australian economy.
The company employs 90 people and sells
its trailers Australia-wide.
A new 15,000-square-metre factory next
to its current premises has been built by the
company. Construction began in early 2017
and is now in the final stages of completion.
The new state-of-the-art facility will house
all of Moore’s current production facilities
under one roof – streamlining all of its
production processes.
“We are always looking at improving
productivity and this will nearly double our
production and give us the opportunity
to broaden our product range,” company
spokesman Shayne Moore says.
Moore explains that Moore Trailers’
range of tippers is still popular more
than three decades after the company
commenced operation in 1988.
“We build anywhere from 100 to 200
of our tippers a year for clients in every corner
of the country,” he says.
“Being a very seasonally-demanded
product, we have, in some years, had to turn
a lot of potential customers away due to a
lack of production capacity. Now, once our
new facility is operational, we should be well
equipped to meet this demand.”
A wide range of Moore’s trailers will be on
display at the 2021 Brisbane Truck Show,
including bulk tippers, dropdeck-wideners and
converter dollies.
The company has one of the broadest range
of products of all Australian manufacturers

– providing diversity for a broad market, it
states.
More and more progressive farmers are
value adding to their products by delivering
their valuable grain in Moore Trailers, it adds.
With increases to on-farm storage,
customers have the ability to sell and deliver
products all year round, achieving optimal
gains for their seasonal efforts.
In addition, increasing numbers of scrap
metal recycling businesses are also turning
to heavy-duty Moore scrap trailers for their
volume, strength and longevity – all crucial
aspects for this industry, Moore states.
Moore says that there are numerous
reasons why Moore Trailers are so popular
and highly sought-after. Moore Trailers
has decades of experience in the road
transport industry to drive development and
guide research. The company believes in
maintaining strong communication with the
end user of its products to streamline product
development cycles.
It also has a close-knit Aussie family
dynamic that is absolutely focused on the
needs of the transport industry.

LOADMASS is a leader in the supply and installation of
on-board truck scales to the Australian truck market
and the company proudly states this as it has recently
gained Transport Certification Australia (TCA), smart
on-board mass (OBM) Category B type approval. This has
been gained using the LM300 Can-Coder Scale System
developed and tested in Australia in conjunction with the
manufacturer of the Loadman product in the US.
The Category B approval confirms the robust design of the
Loadman product, as it has met all stringent testing requirements
set by TCA for both hardware and software.
Loadmass can also boast that it was the first on-board scale
company in Australia to receive TCA Category A type approval.
The OBM type approval allows Loadmass to provide its customers
seeking higher mass limits access to a scale system that is digitally
connected to Smart OBM systems, allowing not only the recording
of the load, but offers other safety and regulatory information for
compliance purposes.
Road access arrangements for higher mass, such as those
relating to performance-based standards and high productivity
vehicles, may require mass data information to be collected using
a Smart OBM system.
The Loadman LM300 system’s recent approval means its product
is ideal for its customers, who will benefit from the productivity
gains available. The return on investment will come back to the
truck operator in a very short time.

Going strong
With decades of experience but an eye one the
future, Hydreco Powauto is keen to show the
latest developments in power take-offs (PTOs)
IN A FACTORY IN GLADESVILLE, Sydney in 1959, the first Powauto
PTOs were being manufactured. Sixty-two years later, PTOs are
still being manufactured under the Powauto brand and are
still being designed and engineered in Australia to suit the
harshest Australian conditions.
Since those early beginnings in Gladesville, Powauto is
now owned by the multi-national Hydreco group, based out
of Poole in the UK. Now operating as Hydreco Powauto, the
business has expanded to incorporate a complete range
of transport hydraulics, which includes PTOs to suit nearly
all transmissions and applications plus a full range of pumps,
valves, hoists, and oil tanks.
In addition to these hydraulic items, Hydreco offers a range of
complementary items, such as air and electric controls, tail gate
swing and body pivot kits, and tail gate and dolly lock air cylinder
kits.
The Hydreco Powauto brand name has become synonymous
with quality products that can withstand the toughest of
applications but remain innovative with designs.
As less room becomes available on trucks to fit PTOs and
pumps, Hydreco has embarked on a process to reduce size and
weight to make installation not only easier but therefore safer to
fit as well.
For instance, the new 4800 series hot shift PTO, to suit Allison
transmissions, is now 22mm lower in height than the earlier

Making trucks safer
Mobileye distributor FleetSafe will unveil the next
generation in advanced driver assistance systems
(ADAS) at this year’s Brisbane Truck Show
MOBILEYE, AN INTEL COMPANY, is a market
leader in ADAS, supplying 27 car and
truck manufacturers (OEM) and most
Tier-1 integrators, it says.
Mobileye also offers a range of aftermarket
ADAS solutions, compatible with the majority
of truck models, which can be retrofitted in
only a few hours.
New for 2021 is the Mobileye 8 Series.
Powered by the latest EyeQ4 processor,
Mobileye 8 is smarter, faster and
more accurate than its predecessor, it
says. Incorporating upgraded camera
technology, Mobileye 8 sees further and
wider than previous models, and is now
able to detect pedestrians and cyclist at night
or in low light conditions.
Mobileye uses AI and computer vision to
watch the road in front of the vehicle and
assists the driver in preventing collisions with
other vehicles, motorcycles, pedestrians and
cyclists.
Another safety feature is lane departure
warning – helping combat the affects of
fatigue and distraction and the most common
STAND

cause of single vehicle and run-off
fatalities. Mobileye also reads posted
and electronic speed signs, and will
alert the driver when exceeding the
posted speed limit.
Highly anticipated and following
years of development, FleetSafe, the Australian
distributor of Mobileye, will also be showcasing
the Spotto blind spot radar at the Truck Show.
Designed and developed in Australia,
for local trucks operating in local
conditions, the Spotto radar uses
high-frequency microwave technology
to monitor the blind area along the
passenger side of a truck.
Scanning an area 3m x 12m into the
adjacent lane and extending forward of the
cabin, the Spotto radar will alert the driver
when other vehicles or motorcycles are
located within the detection zone.
The Spotto radar uses smart algorithms to
differentiate between moving and stationary
objects, and will ignore unwanted objects
like guard rails, barriers and parked cars,
when operating at speeds above 30km/h,
FLEETSAFE
ABOVE: The Mobileye 8 and Spotto radar will be
available to see on FleetSafe’s stand
minimising false alerts, FleetSafe states.
At speeds below 30km/h, the Spotto radar
reduces its detection zone to 1.5m x 3m
and will monitor both stationary and moving
objects, including pedestrians and cyclists.
This function is particularly beneficial when
turning at intersections or maneuvering in
the yard where the driver may not see these
vulnerable road users.
The Mobileye 8 and Spotto radar systems
are are available directly via FleetSafe or
through official resellers.

and how you can upgrade any truck to today’s

TRU-SHU
WITH THE RELEASE of Tru-Shu in
2019, many freight operators
have taken up the opportunity
to keep their fleet on the road
by cutting maintenance costs and
eliminating some common brake defects.
Do you want to join them? Reputable
operators like Whiteline Transport, Stef’s
Transport, Matic Transport, Diamond
Bros and many others are saving money
and time, Tru-Shu manufacturer ASET
Services says. TMC uses Tru-Shu as
original equipment on a range of its axles
and therefore passes on the benefits to
its customers.
WHAT IS TRU-SHU?
For too long the industry has had to put
up with brake shoes that twist out the
side of the drum and need premature
replacing. Excluding the cost of downtime,
replacing one set of brakes is in excess
of $1,000 – usually closer to $1,500 as
drums will need replacing when this
problem occurs, ASET Services says.
Although not all brakes will do this, the
problem can happen on a new trailer on
the first set of brakes. Braking capacity
is reduced and the truck or trailer can
become defective once the brake shoe
is out of alignment. You only need one of
your brakes to do this.
In addition to unnecessary
replacement, the S-Cam can come loose
as a result, smashing into the drum bolts
and disintegrating them.
The team at ASET Services developed
104
More braking, less replacing
Remove the headache of brake defects with the Tru-Shu solution
a solution now known as Tru-Shu – a
patented, tested and engineer-approved
solution to a decades-old problem and a
simple-to-apply, one-off remedy.
For an outlay of a few hundred dollars
per trailer, the problem is instantly
eliminated, it explains. Not just reduced,
but gone for good! Whenever brakes are
replaced, the Tru-Shu will bolt back on
with only the addition of new singleuse
bolts.
ASET Services says that this will
probably be the best return on
investment decision you are ever likely
to make! Consider the costs that will no
longer occur:
• •
All too common, unnecessary
brake shoe replacement
Frustrating downtime
Disruptive major defects
Occasional major damage
to brakes and axles from S-Cam
detachment.
All this benefit for the price of a night
out with the family.
Even if your brakes have started
to twist out the side of the drum, the
application of Tru-Shu will pull them
back into alignment without the need for
replacing the brake shoes or drums.
The shoes will bed back in and you will
get maximum wear out of what is left.
Putting off the decision is only costing
you money, it states.
Don’t wait until the problem has
started. If you are familiar with this
problem, you will know it is just around
“Whether you have one truck or a fleet –
savings are significant and the outlay is
pocket money”

the corner. The best value is to add
Tru-Shu from new or insist your new
trailer comes with it as standard, ASET
Services says. That way you will gain
maximum usage and your brakes will be
the best they can be.
Whether you have one truck or a fleet
– savings are significant and the outlay is
pocket money.
EVEN MORE TO COME
Ken, Gordon, Mitch and the rest of the
team that brought you Tru-Shu have not
been resting on their laurels. Buoyed
by the benefits of Tru-Shu to the fleet
at ASET Services and many others
around the country, they have been
working on a range of brake and
axle products to save their own
business time and money, and to
pass that benefit on.
The brake shoe (currently in trial) is
a changeover brake shoe incorporating
the benefits of Tru-Shu – no twisting
and constant even wear along with other
benefits such as:
•
•
•
Quick change – halve labour costs
when changing brake shoes
Eliminates the need to disturb sealed
bearings
Change over brake shoes available to
cut costs and minimise waste.
The brake drum (currently in trial) is
self-cleaning, which quickly eliminates
water, brake shoe dust, grit and even
gravel, maximising brake power
and leading to longer-lasting brake
components.
The axle (currently in development)
aims to keep your trucks on the road and
out of the maintenance shed. This is done
by developing an axle that halves brake
maintenance, minimises maintenance
and keeps your mechanics free to really
make improvements to your fleet.
Come and see how this is done on the
stand, where ASET Services has a 3D
printed working model of the R&D work on
this project. Some of the benefits include:
•
•
Lubrication improvements
Components interchangeable with drive
axles
Modular components that allow
maintenance without disturbing hubs
and bearings
• Elimination of wear on some parts such
as the axle thread
• Simplification of changing wheels and
tyres.
Finally, a steel spring over air springs
suspension is in development that aims
to achieve easier maintenance and
greater stability, combined with a softer
ride and increased adjustability for
aligning with loading docks.

record with Daimler Trucks in the United
States, which consistently delivers on
a core commitment to commercial
vehicle customers,” he says.
The arrival of VVG, which now operates

SAFETY FIRST
Safety is front and centre for Daimler Trucks and its Mercedes-Benz, Freightliner
and Fuso brands.
Fuso recently became the first manufacturer to offer advanced emergency
braking system (AEBS) technology across the light-, medium- and heavy-duty truck
segments with the arrival of the Euro 6 Fighter. It also fits an AEBS, among other
safety technology, to its Rosa light bus, the only light bus to feature this potentially
life-saving technology.
AEBS helps to avoid, or mitigate, collisions with other vehicles by using a radar
to monitor the road ahead and perform emergency braking in the event the driver
does not.
Mercedes-Benz first introduced AEBS on the Actros in 2010, while the
Freightliner Cascadia was the first conventional truck to feature AEBS and a driver’s
airbag from 2019. Fuso introduced AEBS as standard in the heavy-duty Shogun
cab-over when it was introduced locally in the same year.
Freightliner will also feature an optional seat-mounted airbag for the Cascadia
model on its stand at the Brisbane Truck Show.

Celebration time
2021 sees trailer builder Bartlett
achieve 75 years in the business
MAY 9, 2021 MARKS 75 years since Norm Bartlett set up
business as a commercial trailer builder in Caulfield,
Victoria. Since its inception in 1946, Bartlett has come
a long way to become leaders in the design and production
REDARC ELECTRONICS was established in
South Australia over 40 years ago, with
its trailer lighting reducer revolutionising
the way trucks with 24-volt systems
converted down to 12 volts.
Today, Redarc’s range has grown to include
electronic voltage converters, gauges, 12-volt
lithium batteries, power supplies, vehicle
lighting controls, timers, relays and alarms,
and DC-DC battery chargers. Its safety
products include trailer braking, the roll over
sensor and the Battery Master isolation switch,
STAND

of ADR 62-compliant towbars, couplings and trailer safety chain systems.
The early years saw Bartlett developing a reputation as a quality trailer
manufacturer to agriculture and road transport.
This experience provided the crucial understanding of vehicle dynamics
and the towing task, laying the foundations that underpin the modern range
of Bartlett products and innovations.
During 2021, Bartlett will shine a light on many different aspects of the
Bartlett business and brand, including product pedigree and heritage.
The 75th anniversary will also look to the future, exploring how Bartlett
continues to shape the industry with products and advice that address
some of the most critical issues in transport, whether that be Chain of
Responsibility, regulations, safety or developing better, stronger and more
efficient towing solutions.
“Today, we are still a proudly family-run business and we want to
celebrate the past, present and future of our company, together with all
those who have worked with us or been a Bartlett customer during this
time,” Bartlett managing director Allan Bartlett says.
Representing the third generation of Bartletts in the business, Allan is
committed to continuing the company’s legacy of innovation, with a strong
focus on the brand’s flagship range of towbars and allied towing solutions.
“Our integrated towing solutions are unique and industry leading,
bringing safety and compliance to the forefront, so that truck dealers,
equipment suppliers, body builders and vehicle outfitters can be assured
that they are meeting their legal obligations,” he says.

TRAMANCO
Take the easy route
Tramanco is providing even greater ease of weight management with the
new Smart-R Amp on-board mass (OBM) system
SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED and manufactured
by Tramanco in Brisbane, the original
Smart-Amp was first installed in
commercial applications in 1984 as a
complete replacement OBM system.
Tramanco also went down the import path
in the early 1980s but soon realised that
the limitations of two channels did not suit
Australian multi-vehicle combinations, such
as B-doubles, road trains, and truck-and-dog
trailer combinations.
With some imported systems, you need to
BELOW: Check out the Smart-R Amp OBM system
on the Tramanco stand
buy and install up to four separate systems
on a B-double or a truck-and-dog. Or, you
could get a single Chek-Way system from
Tramanco.
Its unique digital multiplexing
communications signal introduced the
ability to recognise connected vehicles
and resolve the problem of having to
recalibrate whenever trucks and trailers
were interchanged.
These unique software features are called
Auto-Cal and Auto-ID and are part of the
Transport Certification Australia (TCA)
STAND Type-A and Type-B approvals.
Just like the original Smart-Amp,
116
the new Smart-R Amp resolves these
FOYER
problems and keeps records in its own
internal memory, thus saving a trip to a
weighbridge each time vehicle combinations
are interchanged.
Tramanco designs and writes its own
software programs in-house so it can update
your software and customise applications of
the Chek-Way OBM system in real time to suit
your particular applications.
The Chek-Way system received Queensland
government written approval in 2010,
leading to the successful implementation of
A-doubles, and many other performancebased
standards/higher mass limit
combinations, Australia-wide.
The new Chek-Way Smart-R Amp passed
TCA Type-A approval for OBM systems in 2018,
and TCA Type-B approval in 2019.
The Smart-R Amp embodies all of the
functions and features of the current TCA
requirements, and future ones as well.
It is also backwards compatible so
that current Chek-Way owners can have
their existing Smart-Amp upgraded to
Smart-R Amp Type-approved specification
at nominal cost, which enables an existing
system to meet both TCA type A and type B
requirements.
With Chek-Way, Tramanco can even upgrade
other systems to meet the same requirements.

EV AUTOMOTIVE
AS CONVENIENCE, delivery speed and
efficiency continue to define customer
experience, businesses researching
the suitability of electric vehicles (EVs)
to carry out last-mile operations has also
increased. With convenience taking centre
stage, so does the demand for fast, efficient
and consistent last-mile operations.
EVs are ideally suited to the task. They are
eco-friendly and offer significant cost-saving
benefits to the logistic industry.
EV Automotive is an all-Australian company
entering the commercial fleet space as a
new EV van supplier. In partnership with
Skywell Industries, predominantly an electric
bus manufacturer, it has created products
to enhance the Australian and New Zealand
logistics industry and meet growing corporate
sustainability initiatives.
With full volume Australian Design Rules
certification and compliance now approved,
the EC11 electric van range will be launched
to the Australiasian market at the Brisbane
Truck Show.
The EC11 is explicitly designed as an
off-the-shelf solution. The E-Cargo does not
need operators to compromise on capacity –
with 12.3 cubic metres of cargo space and a
Drive smart
EV Automotive delivers an electric option for last-mile deliveries
1.7-tonne payload, the EC11 E-Cargo is suitable
for the largest loads.
With a 12-seat capacity, the E-Crew minibus
also promises to provide a viable electric
solution to on-demand operators such as pubs
and clubs for courtesy buses, NDIS providers,
aged care and shuttle transfer providers.
Equipped with a 73.6kWh battery, CCS Type 2
DC charging and a 22kW capacity AC onboard
charger, the EC11 promises to offer the most
flexible recharging options to operators, EV
Automotive says.
A range of between 200–300km (based
on load) offers sufficient route coverage for
daily use. If recharging at night, businesses
can expect to recharge their fleet of EVs
using off-peak power tariffs, thus eliminating
the downtime experienced with daytime
recharging.
Performance has not been
overlooked either—the challenge is to
provide optimal power delivery without
wasting valuable energy reserves.
The EC11 is quick off the mark with
STAND
23
FOYER
a respectable 60kW of power and 350Nm of
torque; this quickly develops into 100kW and
a massive 750Nm of pulling power, which is
almost twice the output of a comparably-sized
diesel competitor.
While all sorts of delivery businesses can
easily implement an EV delivery fleet, the EC11
is most suited to companies that perform
last-mile deliveries within a fixed and limited
radius, EV Automotive says.
More and more businesses are now using
telematics and other artificial intelligence
systems, which can help accurately plan
delivery routes and daily dispatches while
driving smaller distances.
Couple this to using an EV and the costs
savings are even more significant. In the end,
it is all about driving smarter.
In Australia and New Zealand, EVs are
gradually gaining in popularity. Now,
with the introduction of the EC11 to the
commercial market, it is undoubtedly a
worthy investment to consider in 2021
and beyond.

High-purity AdBlue
AdBlue Altra Pure has demonstrated benefits to extending AdBlue components’ life
NEWER DIESEL-FUELLED ENGINES are equipped with
selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology to
comply with tightening emission laws.
Sensors in the exhaust system monitor the
gases and spray AdBlue when required to break down
harmful nitrogen oxide (NOx), converting it to safe
nitrogen and water vapour.
With AdBlue being a relatively young category
worldwide, its real-world application and side effects
are only now being realised.
Current AdBlue standards, tested and certified to
ISO 22241, can still cause general faults, including
cyanuric acid build-up in the muffler, AdBlue pump
failure, AdBlue filter blockages and AdBlue injector
nozzle issues.
VDA-licensed Australian AdBlue manufacturer
AUSblue has invested 18 months in research
and development to produce AdBlue Altra
Pure – a high-purity AdBlue – to address these
problems.
AUSblue CEO Pat Maguire noticed residue
build-up within the SCR system of AUSblue’s own
trucks.
“We began investigating the cause of this residue,
which was creating SCR failures, downtime and repair
costs,” Maguire says.

SUPERCHROME WHEELS
No more polishing alloy wheels
Superchrome wheels take the pain out of keeping your truck looking shiny
IN 2021, SUPERCHROME celebrates 25 years of chroming steel
wheels and 20 years of chroming alloy wheels for the truck, trailer
and bus markets.
Increasing numbers of fleet and owner-driver customers
are converting their existing trucks and trailers to Superchrome
wheels as well as specifying Superchrome wheels for their new
purchases, it says.
The reason for this increasing demand is the growing
awareness of the advantages Superchrome wheels provide
for rigs. These advantages are a combination of presentation,
image and long-term labour and cost savings.
Superchrome wheels are easy to clean and do not need polishing
to give that new shiny finish. The hard Superchrome surface also
increases the life of wheels by reducing wear, it explains.
The added bonus to having Superchrome wheels is the increased
amount of leisure and family time available to drivers who are
responsible for the presentation of their trucks, it states.
Superchrome has invested over one million dollars in research
and development over the years to perfect this revolutionary process
and that is why it is able to offer a ‘world first’ seven-year chrome
warranty.
Superchrome has upgraded production facilities in 2021, for a
third time, and this, combined with operating two production shifts,
will ensure the increasing demand for Superchrome wheels is met,
it confirms.
Superchrome makes its wheels easy to purchase by providing
them to customers by direct shipment to all locations in Australia.
The wheels are also provided to truck dealerships on an exchange

basis. That is, a chrome set of wheels is sent to the dealerships for

Smart OBM systems are here, so make sure
you know what you need
SMART OBM SYSTEMS are digitally connected on-board weighing
systems that enable new productivity and safety initiatives using
applications of the National Telematics Framework (NTF).
Smart OBM systems use digital technology to collect and
transmit mass data from vehicles in a reliable and standardised way.
There are different categories of OBM system, but only Category B or C
can generate and transmit data for use with applications of the NTF.
Although Category A OBM systems have been type-approved by
TCA for accuracy and integrity, they do not offer data generation and
transmission capabilities.
WHY USE A SMART OBM SYSTEM?
On-board mass measurement can be very valuable for supporting
your commercial operations. OBM systems provide you with critical
information about the loading of your vehicles, which is important
to manage safety and regulatory compliance while also maximising
productivity.
Smart OBM systems allow the digital collection and transmission of
data for later analysis and reporting – these smart systems are in use
for a range of road access schemes, permits and national notices across
jurisdictions.
You will need a Smart OBM system if required by a road manager,
regulator or other party that specifies it as a requirement.
These road access conditions include all high productivity freight
vehicles in Victoria and performance-based standards vehicle
combinations in Tasmania. There are also a number of new permit
arrangements in New South Wales and Queensland.
If you are a transport operator, make sure you ask for a Smart OBM
system if you want to benefit from new productivity and safety reforms.

light truck with the latest EV technology,
providing a safe, reliable, comfortable,
economic and, above all, a clean emissionfree
truck for a range of city operations.
BLK Auto managing director
Jason Pecotic says the future of road
transport is electric and, rather than
dwell in the past, JAC is very much
thinking to the future needs of a transport

“JAC is throwing everything it can at
electrification and is focused on refining
and improving its electric truck offerings,
which is why we are focusing purely on
battery EV.”
The JAC N55 EV uses a 96.7kWh capacity
LFP battery, enabling charging to 80 per
cent in only 1.5 hours and to 100 per cent
in two hours using standard European
CCS2-Combo connections.
BLK Auto’s experience as a specialist

Civil Construction
Field Days fills gap in
industry calendar
Just a free shuttle away from the Brisbane Truck Show, why not drop by the Civil
Construction Field Days to see the latest in the civil construction industry
IT IS OUR PLEASURE to welcome
our local, regional and interstate
visitors to the Civil Contractors
Federation Queensland’s second
Civil Construction Field Days event.
We recognised a few years ago
that there was a significant gap
in the civil construction industry
calendar for an event that brings
together many suppliers to
showcase the latest equipment,
products and services.
Industry has become
increasingly time-poor and events
that can provide purchasers
of construction equipment an
opportunity to see the latest in
technology in one place at the
same time was needed.
This is our second event, with the
first being a standalone event in
2019. This year we have joined with
the Brisbane Truck Show to deliver
a larger exhibition of equipment
and supplies relevant to the civil
construction industry.
This event provides a great
opportunity to connect with your
peers and develop relationships,
whilst learning what is new in
industry innovation.
For our visitors who are not in
the industry, the Civil Construction
Field Days will provide a great
insight into the workings of the civil
construction industry. At the Civil
Train booth a representative will be
available to explain career paths
and funding available for those
new to the sector or those existing
workers who want to build on their
skills.
Feel free to engage with the
exhibitors and, if you have any
questions, please talk to one of the
friendly Field Days staff.
This event is proudly supported
by naming sponsor Pickles
Industrial who is the leader in asset
remarketing across industrial,
cars, trucks and salvage. Pickles
Industrial will be conducting a
charity auction as part of the show
with proceeds donated to a local
charity.
In addition to Pickles Industrial,
the event is also supported by TFH
Hire Services who specialise in the
supply of quality temporary hire
products all around Australia.
“The CCF Field D ay is the
highpoint of the Australian civil
calendar and we are very excited
to be a part of it,” TFH Hire Services
general manager Michael Quinn
says.
Enjoy the offerings from Eat
Street at the Trimble Inn and the
many wining and dining options at
Portside Wharf.
If you have started your journey
here, please take advantage of the
free shuttle service to and from
the Brisbane Truck Show.
We hope you enjoy both
events and experience
something new.
“The CCF Field
Days is the
highpoint of
the Australian
civil calendar
and we are
very excited to
be a part of it”

Caterpillar’s cost-effective solution
Hastings Deering has released the Cat® GC range of standard machines
and tools, available at an affordable price
The new Cat GC range of machines
offers a new value proposition for
the more cost-conscious customers
THINKING ABOUT RIGHT-SIZING your
fleet in an effort to keep costs
down, but don’t want to sacrifice
on performance? Here’s some
good news: you have more choices than
ever before when it comes to selecting
equipment that precisely matches your
work and budget.
When you see a Cat machine with the
GC decal, know that these models are
economical, with an attractive total cost
of ownership.
They are proven reliable and durable,
fuel efficient and built to the same Cat
production system standards, as well as
being easy to operate.
This is supported by the Hastings
Deering dealer network and services,
with Cat genuine parts and, of course, the
quality that you know.
Put simply, the Cat GC product line-up
offers a new value proposition for
cost-conscious customers who do not
want to pay for a solution they don’t need.
The GC range complements the
traditional Cat product known as
the performance range, as well as
Caterpillar’s technically advanced XE
premium range, thus enabling customers
to choose across a spectrum of machines
that matches their work and budget.
While some customers want machines
decked out in the latest technology to
give their business a competitive edge
or to compensate for a lack of skilled
operators, plenty of others prioritise
owning and operating costs over
technology.
If you want high-performing machines
that are simple to operate and easy to
maintain, that’s what the GC standard
models deliver: a well-designed, durable
product that offers high fuel efficiency
and low owning and operating costs, all
at an affordable price.
GC models are just as reliable as any
other Cat machine, with no compromises
made in terms of quality or safety. Built
with the same Cat DNA, and backed with
the best dealer network support, you
can be assured quality, reliability and
durability are not compromised.
THE DETAILS
The Cat GC models are ideal for
applications that do not require the
use of cutting-edge technology like
grade control or onboard payload
weighing.
Therefore, no matter where you
have your machine working, be it in
construction, forestry, demolition or
quarrying, GC is the range for you.
With the GC range, Hastings Deering
are setting a new standard for customers
who value reliability at a low cost per
hour. Fuel competitiveness comes from
lower engine speeds and the range also
SITES

boasts improved fuel efficiency and
effective hydraulic functionality.
The GC range meets the emission
standards without the use of diesel
exhaust fluid (AdBlue).
The GC range includes the following
machines:
• Excavators: 315 GC, 320 GC, 330 GC,
336 GC and 345GC
• Medium wheel loaders: 950 GC and
966 GC
Articulated dump truck: 740 GC
• Soil compactors: CS10 GC and CS12 GC.
Right-sizing your fleet doesn’t have
to mean compromising on what matters
most to your business. Caterpillar’s range
of GC solutions will continue to be
expanded across the product lines
to better serve your needs.
With GC models, you have dozens
of other options at your disposal,
