Following a successful pilot launch and positive customer feedback in
several of its Asian and Middle Eastern core markets, Fuso is expanding its after sales business with its second brand named Diamond Value Parts.Started in the beginning of 2011 with a selected portfolio of Diamond Value Parts spare components in key markets of Asia and the Middle East, the program will increase its product portfolio to more than 150 parts during 2012, distributed to customers in more than 100 markets around the globe through Fuso’s worldwide distribution network.The spare parts of this additional Fuso after sales brand clearly stand out in comparison to products of other market participants in terms of quality, dependability, and efficiency, while being significantly lower priced than genuine parts. Fuso thereby aims to expand into an additional and
attractive business segment.This expansion to the existing spare parts program offers owners of aged vehicles an additional option to optimize their cost of operation, thus contributing to reduced total cost of ownership over the total lifecycle. It also allows dealers to attract new customers, including clients in markets with a traditionally lower penetration
of original spare parts.“The positive customer and distributor feedback in our pilot markets has encouraged us to expand our product portfolio of our second parts brand Diamond Value Parts in the after sales business. We are now going to offer a significant product range of more than 150 highly relevant parts – and we do so in more than 100 countries worldwide,” said Kai-Uwe Seidenfuss, MFTBC Vice President of Sales and Service International. y ethe nd of 2012, the product offer will include a wide range of frequently required parts, such as brakes, clutches, and filters. “This expansion once more underlines our customer orientation. We also constantly optimise our Fuso products in terms of operating costs to maintain a leading position in our core markets“, Seidenfuss added. ■
Fuso challenges parts market with second brand
Innovation and transformative change will be required to tackle
the transport and infrastructure challenges of the future, NTC Chief Officer Strategy, Paul Sullivan told the audience at the National Transport Regulations Reform Conference in Canberra in June.Sullivan’s presentation reflected on the achievements of the NTC, governments and its stakeholders in national transport reform and outlined the key challenges for government in undertaking the next wave of reform.National reform has evolved from technical harmonisation, to “better regulation” with growing CoAG involvement over the last 20 years. Internationally, Australia is recognised as a reform leader, including regulations based on sleep science to manage fatigue risks, targeting off-road causes of unsafe driver
behaviour and performance-based regulations to allow vehicle design flexibility.This work provided the foundation for national heavy vehicle and rail safety laws. “NTC will continue to put its shoulder to the wheel; working with governments and industry to see the regulator reforms implemented and delivering outcomes,” he said.NTC is also working hard to fully implement the recommendations of the Review of NTC 2009, which included establishing NTC as “the place to go” for advice (centre-of-excellence) in national reform; and performance reporting of national reform outcomes.Mr Sullivan said initiatives to develop NTC as a centre of excellence were well underway, including an ongoing information exchange program on leading practice with the USA, and outcomes-based program design
and performance reporting. “It’s the delivery of practical ‘outcomes’ that provides value to the community and business – and that means developing policy with people, not for people. We’re also looking at whether implemented reform – such as higher mass limits – is achieving its intended results “on the ground” and, if not, sharing learning to modify our actions.”Future reform directions for Ministers – including a 21st Century model for planning, funding and using transport infrastructure – were also canvassed. “The next chapter of transport and infrastructure reform will be more complex and difficult – unless we’re innovative. Building collaborative networks and partnerships to leverage expertise and engaging citizens to achieve buy-in and trust will be essential to deliver effective national reform.” ■
NTC: Next chapter of transport reform “more complex and difficult”
Fuel usage and carbon footprint have come under the spotlight
with the introduction of the Carbon Tax and the heated debate on the topic. That’s why Navman Wireless has now announced the launch of a Fuel Usage and CO2 Emissions Reporting Suite, designed to work in conjunction with its existing GPS Fleet Management Solution.Developed for any business with a fleet of vehicles, the new system enables management to monitor the total fuel usage and CO2 emissions for each vehicle using the industry-
leading OnlineAVL2 program. Managers also have the additional ability to sort reports by vehicle group and individual vehicles.“Any business with a fleet of vehicles is concerned about the introduction of the Carbon Tax,” said Ian Daniel, Vice President Asia Pacific at Navman Wireless. “Australian businesses are looking for new ways to minimise their fuel costs and eventually the costs associated with the Carbon Tax. We now have an affordable yet effective solution to help companies
proactively reduce their fuel usage and CO2 emissions and improve their operational efficiency.”The OnlineAVL2 reporting suite also helps organisations identify patterns to improve driving behaviour as curbing wasteful driving habits such as idling and speeding can dramatically reduce costs. “Businesses can easily identify which specific vehicles or drivers are unnecessarily burning fuel by idling or speeding and work proactively with those drivers to rectify the situation,” said Daniel. ■
The Alice Springs Road Transport Historical Society will join the
celebrations for TruckWeek 2012 with their annual Truckie’s Reunion, to be held at the National Road Transport Hall of Fame from 23 to 26 August.This year, the Truckie’s Reunion will celebrate both TruckWeek and the 17th anniversary of the Hall of Fame. The four-day event will include Cummins’ Truckie’s race day, a Cameleers night and the annual induction ceremony for the Shell Rimula Wall of Fame.As a special addition for TruckWeek 2012, the Reunion will hold a
lunchtime BBQ on Sunday 26 August, featuring unusual outback dishes such as camel curry. A TruckWeek awards ceremony will also recognise local operators who provide exceptional service in their community.Chief Executive of the Hall of Fame, Liz Martin OAM, said both TruckWeek and the Truckie’s Reunion provided excellent opportunities to recognise the importance of the trucking industry to outback Australia. “I think that people need to understand that trucking, particularly in the outback, is our lifeblood – literally everything we
use comes to us courtesy of the road transport industry,” Liz said.The Chief Executive of the Australian Trucking Association, Stuart St Clair, said TruckWeek was a time to celebrate the trucking industry, its achievements, and those who work in it.“I urge every trucking business to use this opportunity to approach their local community, and to recognise the safe, dedicated and professional operators and employees in our industry,” Stuart said. “This is our chance to show Australia how trucking delivers. ■

Located in the Perth suburb of Malaga, the 920 square metre premises are seen as a key part of ZF’s commitment to provide increased service capability and local parts availability to the WA market.Previously located in two separate and much smaller buildings, the increased warehouse and workshop capacity supports the strategic business growth that ZF Services Australia has experienced in recent years.Employment opportunities are increasing locally over the next two
years, with a long-term plan in place to increase staff numbers by up to 60 per cent within the next six years. ZF currently has 72,000 employees across 27 countries.Speaking at the opening function, ZF Services Australia Managing Director Chris Adcock said: “In a global sense,
Western Australia is a very important market, and we take pride in being able to provide an improved service to our growing clientele in this region.”The WA operation supplies to individual aftermarket distributors as well as aftermarket divisions of OEM manufacturers, and has a full workshop facility to service and remanufacture ZF transmissions.The new facility supports all ZF product applications, including SACHS suspensions, Lemforder steering and Boge shock absorbers for passenger vehicles, trucks, buses, marine and mining. ■
ZF Australia expands WA facilities German Daimler AG has set a further milestone in its efforts to
open up the Indian truck market. As planned, the Group’s subsidiary Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV) now commenced series production of BharatBenz trucks.Between now and 2014, the brand that was specifically created for the Indian market will launch a total of 17 models, covering the entire weight segment from six to 49 tonnes GVW. DICV’s product range will meet the rising demand for durable and reliable trucks and prepare the subsidiary for the strong growth expected in the modern domestic segment. The brand’s first product is a heavy-duty truck with 25 tons GVW and an output of 230 hp.The start of production is the latest in a series of measures that DICV is
implementing as it prepares to deal with the increasing demand for state-of-the-art trucks in India’s volume segment. The Chennai manufacturing plant was inaugurated in April after a record construction time of only 24 months.Since early May, BharatBenz trucks have been taking part in a more than 8,000-kilometer-long “Power Yatra” trip through all of India. During the tour, they will stop in 22 major cities to promote people’s interest in the new brand. The BharatBenz trucks will be launched on the market in September 2012, when the first vehicles will be handed over to customers through a nationwide network of approximately 70 dealerships.On the occasion of the start of production, Marc Llistosella, CEO and
Managing Director of DICV, referred to the immense performance both Indian and German employees showed to turn the company’s engagement into a success. “The fact that today’s launch of series production sets another milestone only a few weeks after the plant opening underpins that our project is well underway.”At the same time, Llistosella underscored the company’s ambition of revolutionizing India’s roads with its state-of-the-art BharatBenz trucks. “In addition to cutting-edge technology, we’re also relying on our high ethical standards as we strive to achieve this goal. Suppliers, dealers, and other business partners all appreciate that our activities are both transparent and fair,” said Llistosella. ■

Origin Energy Australia is the first company to be licensed under a
new Cold Seam Gas (CSG) Logistics Safety Code of Practice, launched this month in readiness for the expected increase in heavy vehicle traffic in Queensland.The CSG Code of Practice standardises the detection, remediation and reporting of gas emissions from CSG facilities – such as the Australian Pacific Line Project, Gladstone Liquefied Natural Gas Project (GLNG), Gladstone LNG Project and the Queensland Curtis LNG – and places particular emphasis on community safety.The Australian Logistics Council issued a license to Origin under the new code, and Managing Director Michael Kilgariff congratulated
Origin for taking a proactive approach to handling safety on the state’s roads. “CSG will account for a large proportion of the forecast increase in heavy vehicle usage in Queensland,” he said. “In becoming the first signatory to the CSG Code, Origin is ensuring that all company employees operating heavy vehicles, contractors and subcontractors will comply with the 45 legal elements laid out in the Code.”According to Origin Upstream CEO, Paul Zealand, whose company took the lead in formulating the industry code, Origin is committed to ensuring that every heavy vehicle movement was a safe one. “During the next four years, the number of heavy vehicle movements from our project alone is expected to increase significantly,”
he said.The CSG Code was developed in line with the National Logistics Safety Code. Among the areas covered are fatigue management, including driver health and fitness for duty, scheduling and transit times; safe loading practices including mass, dimension and load restraint; speed management; vehicle compliance and safety; and contractor safety including subcontractor management. The CSG Code comes into effect ahead of the introduction of the National Heavy Vehicle Law on January 1, 2013. It will standardise heavy-vehicle legislation across Australia, and will be enforced by a national regulator. ■

Melbourne garden specialists, Soilworx, have recently
expanded their fleet with the addition of two new Isuzu FVZ 1400s fitted with specially made tipper bodies. The new trucks join the company’s 25 strong fleet of various truck and trailer combinations and are replacements for smaller Japanese truck models.Chris Ristovski, Soilworx Managing Director, said the new Isuzus have complimented the fleet very well since their purchase. Equipped with 221kW/981Nm engines, the trucks
are utilised in both on and off-road deliveries. The tipper bodies have been custom-designed to hold different types of quarry materials in one load, allowing Soilworx to make their popular “3-for-1” deliveries throughout Victoria.Since the introduction of the specially made tippers to the fleet, Chris said that Soilworx likes what Isuzu has to offer. “The ability to extend the trucks’ warranty to five instead of three years has provided additional peace of mind,” he said. “We have enjoyed our experience
working with Isuzu, the trucks are performing well, and we look forward to continuing that relationship when we add more FVZ 1400s to our fleet later this year.”Soilworx is the largest supplier of garden and landscape products in Victoria and continues to grow its business with a range of innovative services and products. In line with that growth, Soilworx will open a new office in Pakenham later this year, joining existing facilities at Deer Park and Werribee. ■

The truck industry is searching high and low for solutions that cut
fuel consumption. One method is to use the vehicle’s kinetic energy to propel the truck. Now Volvo Trucks has developed I-See, which operates like an autopilot and takes over gearchanging and utilises gradients to save fuel.Kinetic energy is the mechanical work needed to reduce an object’s speed to zero. When an object in motion is slowed down, its kinetic energy has to be transformed into some other form of energy. When a vehicle brakes, its kinetic energy is converted into heat. Many manufacturers in the automotive world are now examining solutions for harnessing kinetic energy instead of releasing it as surplus heat.“If kinetic energy can be exploited to a greater extent, it may help cut fuel consumption. This will benefit both the environment and the industry’s economy, something that is very important today as fuel costs are becoming an increasingly heavy burden on many haulage firms,” relates Anders Eriksson, product developer at Volvo Trucks.And it is precisely this that Volvo Trucks has succeeded in developing with its new I-See solution. The system harnesses the truck’s own kinetic energy to “push” the vehicle up hills. On downhill gradients the same energy is used for acceleration.I-See is linked to the transmission’s tilt sensor and obtains information about the topography digitally. The fact that the system is not dependent on maps makes it more dependable since it always obtains the very latest information. I-See can recall about
4000 gradients, corresponding to a distance of 5000 kilometres.“I-See is an autopilot linked to the truck’s cruise control, taking over and handling gear changes, throttle and brakes on gradients, ensuring they all operate in the most fuel-efficient way possible. I-See freewheels as much as possible - so on certain stretches of road no fuel is used at all,” explains Hayder Wokil, product manager at Volvo Trucks. “In this way fuel consumption can be cut by up to five per cent. This figure is based on the results of simulations and tests on public roads. I-See requires use of the cruise control, and we know that on average drivers use cruise control about half the time. For a truck in normal operation, covering 140,000km a year, the saving will be about 1000 litres of fuel annually. This makes a big difference to the haulage firm’s profitability,” says Wokil.I-See carries out six different operations to utilise the kinetic energy to the very maximum. For instance, I-See accelerates up hills, remains in a high gear for as long as possible and freewheels on descents to exploit the truck’s weight as a propulsion motor. “I-See works best in undulating terrain. With moderately long and steep slopes, I-See ensures that you can freewheel for long distances without using the engine,” explains Anders Eriksson, who was responsible for the development of I-See.“It is this freewheeling capability that makes the system special,” he adds. When the truck rolls freely, virtually no fuel is used. But in order to freewheel, a whole lot of data is
required. It imposes high demands on precision. For instance, you have to know whether your speed will drop or increase over the next stretch of road. A gradient of just a few per cent can be the decisive factor,” reveals Anders Eriksson.Other factors that make a difference are air resistance and the truck’s weight. All told the system has to keep track of and process a lot of information. Many truck drivers who test I-See will recognise the driving style it adopts.“I-See imitates the driving style of good drivers. They utilise the vehicle’s kinetic energy, accelerate in time and avoid unnecessary gearchanging,” says Hayder Wokil, and continues: “But unlike a driver, I-See never gets tired - it’s like an autopilot.” This allows the driver to focus more on the surrounding traffic and other aspects of the journey. What is more, progress on the road is more relaxed. And an alert driver is a better driver. That’s something we know for sure,” says Hayder Wokil.Anders Eriksson also points out that it is not only fuel that is saved. “I-See reduces brake and tyre wear, for instance. And that naturally benefits the environment,” he says. I-See will become available on the market in Europe in 2013. Gary Bone, Vice President of Australia Sales, says he expects to offer I-See in the Australian and New Zealand markets late in 2013. “Our transport operators are working hard to actively reduce fuel consumption - and I-See has the potential to provide significant savings to their fuel bill.” ■

Now is the time to stand aside to allow a new enthusiastic person to lead the VTA into the next phase of its long existence.“Neil has worked with me since 2003 as Industry Services Director and Deputy CEO. I am, along with the Board, very pleased to hand over to such a knowledgeable and professional person.”Mr Lovel will maintain a part-time role as Executive Director of the Association over the next few years. “I will be handing over corporate knowledge and assisting the new management team to ensure that the VTA continues its reputation as the leading employer/prime contractor organisation representing the transport and logistics industry.“I will remain as a Director of the TWU Superannuation Fund, having been an
employer representative on this highly successful Industry Fund since 1986. In addition, I am committed to being Secretary/Treasurer of the Australian Road Transport Industrial Organisation (ARTIO) for the next few years.“The industrial relations scene is changing in our industry, with additional regulation such as the Road Safety Remuneration legislation, the ever evolving application of the Fair Work Act, the modernisation of the Award structure, and the prevalence of individual enterprise agreements. ARTIO has a central role in representing employers to Fair Work Australia, and to the new Road Safety Remuneration Tribunal.”Mr Lovel is also keen to continue to chair the Victorian Transport Industry Safety Group (TISG), and to be involved in VTA-led industry enforcement authority safety liaison forums until the new management structure of the association has been finalised.Mr Lovel will also assist in delivering key industry events in 2012 and 2013, including the Australian Freight Industry Awards (AFIAs) on 1 September at Crown Palladium, and various events leading up to Freight Week 2013 in September next year.“This is a very seamless hand over, full of goodwill and support,” he added.
“The VTA is changing everyday, along with our industry and customer base. The succession plan allows the VTA as an organisation to change and grow as well.”Paul Freestone acknowledged the fantastic effort Mr Lovel has put in over difficult times that have included recessions, union industrial campaigns, new Governments and a changing membership base.“I am amazed at what the VTA has achieved under Phil’s period of service. There are many industry changes that have been addressed or initiated by the VTA Board, Committees and Groups, led by Phil and by Neil also. Thankfully, Phil has agreed to stay around to assist in the change over,” said Mr Freestone.Neil Chambers said he is looking forward to the challenges in assuming the role of CEO, and guiding the Association’s services and initiatives into the future.“We have recently renewed the Strategic Plan for the Association,” Mr Chambers said. “Our future lies in providing knowledge, delivering services and leading initiatives to assist our members to be as profitable, safe, sustainable and as productive as they can be.” ■
The first annual NSW speed camera review, which looked at all mobile,
fixed, red light and point-to-point speed cameras, has found that the cameras are effective in saving lives and reducing crashes and injuries.According to NSW Roads Minister Duncan Gay, five of the 97 fixed speed cameras will be the subject of a comprehensive field review by the Centre for Road Safety to determine if they are delivering the expected safety benefits at the location. Those five are Northern Distributor, Corrimal; Pacific Highway, Hungry Head; New England Highway, Kootingal; New England Highway, Lochinvar and New South Head Road, Edgecliff.
“We’re determined to ensure speed cameras are only in locations where they have a proven road safety benefit, and that they are not simply there as revenue raisers,” Gay said. “The review found that at the fixed camera locations fatalities dropped by 87 per cent, crashes dropped by 38 per cent and injuries were reduced by 37 per cent.”“Crashes at intersections enforced by red light speed cameras have dropped by 21 per cent, while casualties have fallen by 26 per cent,” he added.Gay also said that while it was too early to fully evaluate point-to-point speed cameras, preliminary indications suggest that there is a high level of
compliance. Only 15 of the 24 proposed sections of road have so far been installed.The point-to-point section on the Great Western Highway between Meadow Flat and Raglan is the only location that was enforced for an entire 12 month period. In 2011 there was only one injury related to a heavy vehicle crash on this section compared with eight injuries and one fatality in the five years 2005 to 2009.Overall there has been a high level of compliance with speed limits on the point-to point sections, with low numbers of heavy vehicles detected speeding by the equipment. ■
Infrastructure Australia’s ‘Progress and Action’ report to the Council
of Australian Governments (COAG) goes some way to reversing the long standing trend where freight has been the poor relation of long-term planning, according to the Australian Logistics Council (ALC). “The report highlights three key national issues for freight – addressing road governance issues; ensuring freight is an integral part of long term planning and land use; and securing a commitment to reform,” says Michael Kilgariff, ALC Managing Director. “These issues have all been highlighted by ALC as priority areas governments and industry must embrace if Australia is to meet its
future freight challenges.”The ALC has backed B-triples being given access to the Hume between New South Wales and Victoria and for governments to increase mass limits on access roads to the Chullora rail terminal.Kilgariff says governments need to extend the use of B-doubles and B-triples to meet a growing freight task. “As Infrastructure Australia’s report correctly points out, B-triples represent a large upwards step-change in road freight productivity given their load carrying capacity, not to mention their fuel efficiency (per tonne) when compared to standard B-doubles,” Kilgariff says. “In this regard, ALC welcomes Infrastructure
Australia’s recommendation for a pilot land freight reform project on the Hume Highway in New South Wales and Victoria to enable high productivity vehicles to use this corridor.”Kilgariff says the proposal to increase mass limits on access roads to the Chullora terminal is a positive step the ALC hopes will lead to improved access to a larger number of key production facilities.The report also cites the establishment of national regulators for the road, rail and maritime sectors as “historically significant” and capable of delivering billions of dollars in savings. ■

future freight challenges.”The ALC has backed B-triples being given access to the Hume between New South Wales and Victoria and for governments to increase mass limits on access roads to the Chullora rail terminal.Kilgariff says governments need to extend the use of B-doubles and B-triples to meet a growing freight task. “As Infrastructure Australia’s report correctly points out, B-triples represent a large upwards step-change in road freight productivity given their load carrying capacity, not to mention their fuel efficiency (per tonne) when compared to standard B-doubles,” Kilgariff says. “In this regard, ALC welcomes Infrastructure
Australia’s recommendation for a pilot land freight reform project on the Hume Highway in New South Wales and Victoria to enable high productivity vehicles to use this corridor.”Kilgariff says the proposal to increase mass limits on access roads to the Chullora terminal is a positive step the ALC hopes will lead to improved access to a larger number of key production facilities.The report also cites the establishment of national regulators for the road, rail and maritime sectors as “historically significant” and capable of delivering billions of dollars in savings. ■

feature Scania Euro 6
GoinG thenext stepSwedish truck manufacturer, Scania, has already made some euro 6 trucks available on the european market well ahead of its introduction in 2013. tim Giles speaks to the engineer responsible for the new models’ engine at the company’s HQ.
The series of exhaust emission regulation changes of the past 20 years have come thick and fast. the latest emission reduction
to affect europe will be introduced in 2013. euro 6 sees a reduction in nitrogen oxides allowed and a sizeable tightening on the amount of particulate matter in exhaust gases. Scania’s development team in Sodertalje, just outside Stockholm in Sweden, explained to Prime Mover
what has had to be done to the engine systems over the line to meet the latest regulations.euro 6 comes into effect as of 1 January 2013 for new models and extends to all truck models in europe on 1 January 2014. Scania has already released some of the new models onto the european truck market in anticipation of some
governments offering incentives to trucking operators who moved to the cleaner trucks earlier than they are mandated. Low emission incentives were effective in bringing forward the adoption of euro 5 technology in many countries in europe. however, no major european country has yet announced any measure, either reduced road tax or reduced road tolls.the european Union only recently finalised the euro 6 emission level figures first suggested in July 2009, giving truck manufacturers a tight deadline. Apart from the usual limits of allowable pollutants in exhaust gases, a new kind of limit was introduced. this restricts the number of individual particles permitted to be emitted. nitrogen oxides are reduced by 80% when compared to euro 5 levels, down to 0.4g per kilowatt hour. Particulate matter is halved to 0.01g per kilowatt
hour with carbon monoxide unchanged at 1.5 and hydrocarbons reduced by 75% to 0.13.“euro 6 has been, and is, a challenge to us,” says Bjorn Westman, Scania’s engineering Director, head of engine Development. “in practice, the mass limit for particulates has made the amount of particulate matter the engines can emit much smaller than the regulators imagined, i think. When we started looking at euro 6, particulate counting was not on the table. Different scenarios with nitrogen oxide levels and particulate matter mass were discussed along with their effects on fuel economy.“the politicians set the limits knowing it would drive a 2% fuel economy penalty when compared to continuing with euro 5. it was clear to us it would be possible to achieve half the particular mass emissions without
having to use diesel particulate filters (DPF). the authorities did not like that, they wanted to push diesel particulate filters on all diesel vehicles. So they added in the particulate number count. So the industry was forced to add particulate filters. DPF’s add maintenance costs, exhaust back pressures and a further loss in fuel efficiency.”the new european legislation also specified a new ‘World harmonised’ test cycle to be used when assessing trucks for the new regulations. the new test includes much more simulated city driving, and tests both cold and warm engines. this increases the level of difficulty for the truck manufacturers as DPFs have to work even harder in stop start operation. the new test cycle is the toughest of its kind in the world, surpassing the strict Japanese testing procedures. in the past
higher particulate matter levels were allowed in transient cycles with lower levels specified when the vehicle was stationary.the cleanliness of the new exhaust gas particulate filters can be demonstrated by the fact the paper filters are completely clean after 30 minutes operation when compared with the same filter from a euro 5 engine. Further proof of the much improved particulate matter output in the euro 6 engines is in the fact the new exhaust pipes are completely clean inside and over time will become rusty rather than dirty.“Politicians are not supposed to push technology but they have clearly done that in this case,” says Bjorn. “We now have to deal with a regulation which limits us to 800 billion particles per kilowatt hour. this is hard to count, and measurement technology has been
tough to develop to meet this new part of the rules.“however, we do believe that euro 6 is the last major step in the reduction of particulates in exhaust gases. We think the next step in exhaust emission regulation will concentrate on carbon dioxide. even without euro 6 we have seen a huge drop in the level of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter emitted by truck engines out on the roads.”So far, Scania has released two engines from its range as euro 6, the 440 and 480 hp 13 litre. the company says its new engines will achieve the same fuel economy possible with its euro 5 product. this has been achieved by changing the eGR settings in a way that increases nitrogen oxide emissions but also increases fuel economy, running more efficiently. the increased nitrogen oxides are cleaned up by

True to its word
As the son of highly regarded horse trainer
John Hawkes of Hawkes Racing, Wayne
Hawkes was surrounded by trucks from quite
a young age and is now a well-known horse
trainer himself.
“Since I was about 10 years of age, I travelled
around the country with Goldners Horse
Transport from Adelaide – and that’s how the
trucks started for me,” says Wayne. “I always
said I was going to own the biggest and best
float company around – but that went by the
wayside and I became a horse trainer instead,
before establishing Tailored Freight, so it all
just marries together really well.”
The opportunity to start Tailored Freight
arose when Wayne’s long time friend, Todd
Moraitis, was working for his uncle Nick at
the Melbourne fruit market. At the time
a new supermarket depot was being built
on the Albury and Wodonga border and
Todd’s uncle needed to have some freight
transported.
“Todd knew everything there is to know
about fruit and vegetables so that’s basically
how it started,” says Wayne, who began
Tailored Freight with Todd in mid 2006. “The
business almost started overnight.”
Tailored Freight began with four employees
and now employs 11. Based near the
Footscray market in Melbourne, Tailored
Freight began its life with two B-doubles,
towed by a second hand 2005 Mack Vision
prime mover and a brand new Freightliner
Argosy – both of which still have their place
in the fleet today.
Before long, the demand placed on the two
vehicles had increased and there was a need
to implement a third vehicle within the first
six months of the company’s operations. This
year another two vehicles were added to the
Tailored FreighT was born Five and a halF years ago when Two besT maTes made The decision To sTarT Their own TransporT business To service The needs oF melbourne’s Fresh produce markeTs. and according To iTs Founders, The business has been based on qualiTy raTher Than quanTiTy From The very beginning.
It is much easier for drivers to just push a button rather than have to hand wind landing legs. We split our B-double sets all the time so the Razor legs certainly do get a work out.
fleet, bringing the total number of prime movers to five
and the total number of trailers up to 11.
Tailored Freight now operates nine insulated tautliners
and two refrigerated pantech trailers which all operate
as B-doubles, servicing the Melbourne, Wodonga and
Shepparton districts as well as all the distribution centres
in between. Fruit and vegetable cartage accounts for
approximately 90 per cent of operations, while general
cartage takes up the remaining 10 per cent.
And while there has been several opportunities for
the company to travel interstate, Wayne says that
the company’s fleet is geared to service the needs of
Victoria. “We don’t want to be the biggest but we are
trying to be the best,” he says. “It is easy to get too big
and lose sight of the big picture. We are quite happy to
stay around this sort of number of trucks.”
Every trailer in the fleet has been manufactured by
Freighter, with all but one trailer purchased brand new.
The most recent trailer purchased is a second hand
Freighter trailer that has been completely refurbished.
All vehicles in the fleet operate seven days a week and
the business is open every day of the year except for
Christmas Day and Good Friday. “Horse training is no
different to the fruit and vegetable market, it also runs
seven days a week so the two work hand in hand,”
Wayne says.

to affect europe will be introduced in 2013. euro 6 sees a reduction in nitrogen oxides allowed and a sizeable tightening on the amount of particulate matter in exhaust gases. Scania’s development team in Sodertalje, just outside Stockholm in Sweden, explained to Prime Mover
what has had to be done to the engine systems over the line to meet the latest regulations.euro 6 comes into effect as of 1 January 2013 for new models and extends to all truck models in europe on 1 January 2014. Scania has already released some of the new models onto the european truck market in anticipation of some
governments offering incentives to trucking operators who moved to the cleaner trucks earlier than they are mandated. Low emission incentives were effective in bringing forward the adoption of euro 5 technology in many countries in europe. however, no major european country has yet announced any measure, either reduced road tax or reduced road tolls.the european Union only recently finalised the euro 6 emission level figures first suggested in July 2009, giving truck manufacturers a tight deadline. Apart from the usual limits of allowable pollutants in exhaust gases, a new kind of limit was introduced. this restricts the number of individual particles permitted to be emitted. nitrogen oxides are reduced by 80% when compared to euro 5 levels, down to 0.4g per kilowatt hour. Particulate matter is halved to 0.01g per kilowatt
hour with carbon monoxide unchanged at 1.5 and hydrocarbons reduced by 75% to 0.13.“euro 6 has been, and is, a challenge to us,” says Bjorn Westman, Scania’s engineering Director, head of engine Development. “in practice, the mass limit for particulates has made the amount of particulate matter the engines can emit much smaller than the regulators imagined, i think. When we started looking at euro 6, particulate counting was not on the table. Different scenarios with nitrogen oxide levels and particulate matter mass were discussed along with their effects on fuel economy.“the politicians set the limits knowing it would drive a 2% fuel economy penalty when compared to continuing with euro 5. it was clear to us it would be possible to achieve half the particular mass emissions without
having to use diesel particulate filters (DPF). the authorities did not like that, they wanted to push diesel particulate filters on all diesel vehicles. So they added in the particulate number count. So the industry was forced to add particulate filters. DPF’s add maintenance costs, exhaust back pressures and a further loss in fuel efficiency.”the new european legislation also specified a new ‘World harmonised’ test cycle to be used when assessing trucks for the new regulations. the new test includes much more simulated city driving, and tests both cold and warm engines. this increases the level of difficulty for the truck manufacturers as DPFs have to work even harder in stop start operation. the new test cycle is the toughest of its kind in the world, surpassing the strict Japanese testing procedures. in the past
higher particulate matter levels were allowed in transient cycles with lower levels specified when the vehicle was stationary.the cleanliness of the new exhaust gas particulate filters can be demonstrated by the fact the paper filters are completely clean after 30 minutes operation when compared with the same filter from a euro 5 engine. Further proof of the much improved particulate matter output in the euro 6 engines is in the fact the new exhaust pipes are completely clean inside and over time will become rusty rather than dirty.“Politicians are not supposed to push technology but they have clearly done that in this case,” says Bjorn. “We now have to deal with a regulation which limits us to 800 billion particles per kilowatt hour. this is hard to count, and measurement technology has been
tough to develop to meet this new part of the rules.“however, we do believe that euro 6 is the last major step in the reduction of particulates in exhaust gases. We think the next step in exhaust emission regulation will concentrate on carbon dioxide. even without euro 6 we have seen a huge drop in the level of nitrogen oxides and particulate matter emitted by truck engines out on the roads.”So far, Scania has released two engines from its range as euro 6, the 440 and 480 hp 13 litre. the company says its new engines will achieve the same fuel economy possible with its euro 5 product. this has been achieved by changing the eGR settings in a way that increases nitrogen oxide emissions but also increases fuel economy, running more efficiently. the increased nitrogen oxides are cleaned up by

True to its word
As the son of highly regarded horse trainer
John Hawkes of Hawkes Racing, Wayne
Hawkes was surrounded by trucks from quite
a young age and is now a well-known horse
trainer himself.
“Since I was about 10 years of age, I travelled
around the country with Goldners Horse
Transport from Adelaide – and that’s how the
trucks started for me,” says Wayne. “I always
said I was going to own the biggest and best
float company around – but that went by the
wayside and I became a horse trainer instead,
before establishing Tailored Freight, so it all
just marries together really well.”
The opportunity to start Tailored Freight
arose when Wayne’s long time friend, Todd
Moraitis, was working for his uncle Nick at
the Melbourne fruit market. At the time
a new supermarket depot was being built
on the Albury and Wodonga border and
Todd’s uncle needed to have some freight
transported.
“Todd knew everything there is to know
about fruit and vegetables so that’s basically
how it started,” says Wayne, who began
Tailored Freight with Todd in mid 2006. “The
business almost started overnight.”
Tailored Freight began with four employees
and now employs 11. Based near the
Footscray market in Melbourne, Tailored
Freight began its life with two B-doubles,
towed by a second hand 2005 Mack Vision
prime mover and a brand new Freightliner
Argosy – both of which still have their place
in the fleet today.
Before long, the demand placed on the two
vehicles had increased and there was a need
to implement a third vehicle within the first
six months of the company’s operations. This
year another two vehicles were added to the

fleet, bringing the total number of prime movers to five
and the total number of trailers up to 11.
Tailored Freight now operates nine insulated tautliners
and two refrigerated pantech trailers which all operate
as B-doubles, servicing the Melbourne, Wodonga and
Shepparton districts as well as all the distribution centres
in between. Fruit and vegetable cartage accounts for
approximately 90 per cent of operations, while general
cartage takes up the remaining 10 per cent.
And while there has been several opportunities for
the company to travel interstate, Wayne says that
the company’s fleet is geared to service the needs of
Victoria. “We don’t want to be the biggest but we are
trying to be the best,” he says. “It is easy to get too big
and lose sight of the big picture. We are quite happy to
stay around this sort of number of trucks.”
Every trailer in the fleet has been manufactured by
Freighter, with all but one trailer purchased brand new.
The most recent trailer purchased is a second hand
Freighter trailer that has been completely refurbished.
All vehicles in the fleet operate seven days a week and
the business is open every day of the year except for
Christmas Day and Good Friday. “Horse training is no
different to the fruit and vegetable market, it also runs
seven days a week so the two work hand in hand,”
Wayne says.
