INDUSTRY NEWS

A review aimed at improving Australia’s regulation of the

transport of dangerous goods by road and rail is now underway.Through the NTC’s recent implementation and regulatory outcomes review, it was found that the current system has delivered relatively consistent outcomes across the country. However areas for improvement were also identified, including how to ensure Australia keeps pace with changes at the international level.

The Australian code is based on the recommendations developed by the United Nations, which are updated every two years. The review will explore whether or not there is a more efficient way to ensure that the Australian Code is updated to reflect changes to the UN code.“The review will consider, in consultation with stakeholders, whether the current process is adequate and if any changes to the regulatory framework are required,”

explained NTC Project Director, Dr Neil Wong.“This includes whether the current framework is achieving the intended outcomes of improving safety and creating consistency of regulation across Australia.”The NTC will be developing a discussion paper for public consultation, and final recommendations will be submitted to the Standing Committee on Transport and Infrastructure (formerly the Australian Transport Council). ■

Scania’s Australian workshop team, ‘the Kangaroos’, from

Scania’s Prestons workshop near Sydney has been named the Scania Top Team, after beating nine other finalists from around the world.Top Team is a competition and training event arranged by Scania. Although the Australian team had a tough start at the first station, their scores improved drastically to secure the win in the end, with Belguim’s Torhout workshop finishing second and the Netherlands’ Veghel workshop placing third.“This is a dream come true,” said team leader Christopher Nobbs. “Everyone on the team put forth an amazing effort.” Scania’s President and CEO, Leif Östling, was at the final. “Dedicated staff is the key to a successful service business,” he said. “The teams that competed in this year’s Scania Top Team final are all good examples of this dedication. There are, however, many skilled

service technician teams at Scania workshops all over the world; they pushed the finalists to excel and thus truly earn the title of Top Team.” This year’s Top Team event attracted more than 6000 service technicians in 46 countries. In addition to promoting the vehicle service technician profession, Scania

Top Team is a competition with the goal of developing best practices for working on Scania vehicles.The first Top Team competition was held in Sweden in 1989 and since then the event has grown substantially. This year’s Top Team was the eighth instalment of the event. ■

Fuso has introduced a heavy-duty hybrid truck in Japan. The new

vehicle concept will have its offcial show premiere at the Tokyo Motor Show from 30 November to 11 December 2012. First tests of the Super Great HEV have demonstrated significant fuel efficiency improvements over conventional diesel-only vehicles.The hybrid heavy-duty truck development is a further milestone in the development efforts of the Global Hybrid Center (GHC) located in Kawasaki. The development centre synchronises and controls Daimler Trucks’ global hybrid activities.“We want to be leaders in green technologies,” said Fuso President and CEO, Dr Albert Kirchmann. “Our development of a long-haul hybrid truck represents a significant expansion of our hybrid activities and shows our focus on bringing cost-effective, low-emission commercial vehicles for a wide spectrum of applications. We will continue to promote advanced technologies to reduce emissions and increase fuel efficiency.”Member of the Daimler Board of Management responsible for Commercial Vehicles, Andreas Renschler, added, “Fuso’s activities in the area of alternative drive systems are an important component of our global commitment to environment-conscious, sustainable transport solutions. “Daimler Trucks is very well prepared for future requirements with its current green product portfolio.”The newly developed hybrid heavy-duty truck is based on the technology of the Canter Eco Hybrid, around 1200 units of which have been sold since it was introduced in 2006.

The Fuso Super Great HEV offers features that include a conventional diesel engine, electric motor/generator, lithium(Li)-ion battery; and related control software.It utilises a parallel hybrid system, meaning power to drive the vehicle comes from the vehicle’s electric motor, the diesel engine or both. Fuel efficiency and emissions reduction are achieved by using them separately or in combination with each other according to driving conditions. When slowing down or braking, the electric motor functions as a generator to brake the vehicle. The generator converts brake energy into electric energy and returns it to the lithium-ion battery.The first tests performed under real-life conditions show an impressive increase in fuel efficiency by as much as ten per cent versus conventional diesel-only powered vehicles. Testing was conducted on motorways in Japan, in representative conditions.“Evaluation so far shows that hybridisation can indeed benefit heavy-duty trucks in typical long-

haul operations,” explains Fuso’s Vice President of Product Engineering, Gustav Tuschen. “The conventional thinking is that hybrids best fit trucks like the Canter Eco Hybrid involved in short-radius distribution operations, since such operations involve many stop-and-go situations. Braking energy can be continuously recaptured this way. But, heavy-duty highway trucks in long-haul operation clearly benefit as well.”Long-haul trucks recover and store energy as they move up and down hills. In addition, they tend to run much longer distances than light commercials, therefore the benefits of hybrids accumulate. The hybrid system of the Fuso Super Great is optimised so it can capture energy even when the truck is going down very slight grades. The parallel hybrid system ensures that energy loss is minimised.Based on the positive test results, Fuso is now moving ahead with development of heavy-duty hybrid trucks. The key challenge now is to ensure significant overall lifecycle cost benefits for the Super Great HEV. ■

Senior Daimler Executive, Carlo Beltrame has announced his

intention to retire at the end of this year after nearly 40 years in the heavy truck business including stints with Kenworth, Detroit

Diesel and Ford Trucks.“I’d like to thank Carlo for his service over the years with Daimler Trucks and wish him the best in his retirement,” said Managing Director at Daimler Trucks, Kolya Rebstock.

“Carlo played a key role in building a strong foundation for our revamped Daimler Truck business as we continue to grow in this market and we’ve been fortunate to utilise his experience during this important period.” ■

There are eight models in the all-new Hino 300 Hybrid range.

These trucks use a new parallel hybrid system which has a Hino M550 sequential-shift five-speed automated manual transmission for easy, two-pedal operation. It can be driven in ‘D’ range as an automatic, or ‘S’ range with sequential shifting.Depending on the truck’s operation, the new hybrid range can offer fuel savings of up to 26 per cent or better when compared with a conventional diesel truck.The Hino N04C-UR 4.0-litre diesel engine and combined electric-drive motor offer 10 per cent more power and 19 per cent more torque, both at lower revolutions.The engine has cooled EGR, an oxidation catalyst and DPR cleaner. The diesel engine delivers 110kW and

420Nm, while the new Permanent-magnet Reluctance Motor has 36kW of power and 333Nm of torque.Electrical components including the motor, inverter and nickel-metal hydride battery have also been completely redesigned to reduce weight and size, and increase efficiency.“The current system has made significant fuel savings in start-stop operations,” says Hino Australia divisional manager, product strategy, marketing and dealer development, Alex Stewart. “The new system uses the electric motor as a supplementary power source, it creates electricity by gathering kinetic energy when the truck decelerates.“It does not use diesel power to create electricity and the diesel engine returns to idle whenever it is not

required to power the truck, thereby saving more fuel.“When accelerating or climbing a hill, the new hybrid uses electric power to supplement diesel power.“The flat torque curve from the combination of diesel and electric power means Hino can use a five-speed transmission to save on gear changes. “When descending hills and braking, the clutch disconnects the diesel engine from the motor, so the motor can act as a generator and maximise the amount of electricity gathered.“In Hino’s new hybrid system, the accelerator pedal is a potentiometer: if the driver requests, say, 280Nm of torque, the electronic control units for the engine and hybrid system network provide the ideal split of diesel and electric power.” ■

BP has announced that construction of a new

Truckstop at Dandenong in Melbourne has begun.The new site will be built on the corner of Greens and Hammond Road, and the complex will serve the increasing number of trucks travelling in and out of the

Dandenong precinct.The design of the new 24-hour facility will include wide and convenient refueling positions, high speed pumps and extensive parking.It will also include BP’s 24 hour Road Haven Café, a convenience store and trucker’s showers and toilet facilities.

This project involves an investment of around $10 million and will create or sustain around 80 jobs across a range of disciplines during construction. Up to 20 new jobs will be created when the site becomes operational in mid-2012.The site is expected to be completed in around nine months. ■

INDUSTRY NEWS INDUSTRY NEWS

The trucking industry’s safety accreditation program, TruckSafe,

was formally recognised by the Victorian Government as an industry code of practice under the state’s Road Safety Act.This will make it easier for TruckSafe accredited operators to prove they have taken reasonable steps to

prevent breaches of road safety laws.Provisions of the Victorian Road Safety Act mean that operators and other parties in the supply chain are required to take ‘all reasonable steps’ to prevent contraventions of the speed, fatigue, and mass, dimension and load restraint laws.Under the Act, if a person accused of

a chain of responsibility breach can prove they complied with all relevant standards and practices in relation to matters to which the breach relates, that is evidence that the person or business took all reasonable steps to prevent the offence.TruckSafe is now a registered industry code of practice under the Act. ■

V ictorian waste management company, Corio Waste

Management, has added a second Isuzu compressed natural gas (CNG)-fuelled compactor to its fleet, to better service its public litter and recyclables contract with the City of Casey in Melbourne’s south-east. The new Isuzu FSR 850 CNG will replace the company’s smaller NPR 300 CNG model due to the need to carry larger payloads.Corio Waste Management General Manager, Mathew Dickens, is a qualified environmental scientist and carbon accounting/management expert. When it came time to replace the NPR 300 CNG, he said purchasing another natural gas-powered Isuzu was an easy decision, given the truck’s environmental benfits.Isuzu CNG trucks produce zero particulate matter (PM) emissions and up to a 50 per cent reduction in

nitrogen oxides (NOx) compared to similar sized conventional diesels.To add, Mathew explained, “The first truck now has now covered about 70,000 kilometres and performed faultlessly, driver feedback is extremely positive – it’s very quiet compared to a diesel and there’s no discernable loss of power.“With the NPR 300 CNG we

experienced a considerable reduction in servicing costs compared to an equivalent diesel, but the best financial efficiency is gained through reduced fuel costs.”The FSR 850 CNG is refuelled at Corio Waste Management’s Dandenong depot, while a similar facility has also been installed in Geelong to service the NPR 300 CNG. ■

The CVIAQ Awards were presented on November 14 at the Sebel &

Citigate Hotel King George Square during the 2011 CVIAQ Annual Dinner and Awards Night.CVIAQ members, staff and invited guests celebrated the achievements of some of the industry’s most talented apprentices and acknowledged the dedicated commitment to industry with the Industry Recognition Award.The 2011 Apprentice of the Year Award was won by Christian Wyatt of Brisbane Isuzu. Sponsors of the Awards, Mr Glen French from Warby Tools and Mr

Peeter Liiv of National Transport Insurance, presented the award to the winner and expressed their support of the competition.Christian, an apprentice in Certificate 3 Automotive Mechanical Technology, was presented with a trophy, a framed Award certificate, an Apple IPad2 and tools to the combined value of around $2000.Mr Peter Kenny, Group Service Manager, Brisbane Isuzu, gratefully accepted the inaugural CVIAQ Apprentice of the Year perpetual trophy for the employer to display in their office reception or foyer for the 12 months between awards.

Why does maximum filter pressure drop matter?As the filter accumulates contaminant, the pressure drop increases until the filter reaches its maximum pressure drop. This is the point where the filter needs to be changed. Incorrectly selected filters for your system may reach maximum filter pressure drop quickly, resulting in short filter life. If there is a bypass valve fitted in the filter head, the valve may open after only a short time. With the bypass valve open no filtration occurs, leaving your system vulnerable to unfiltered fluid which can cause irreversible damage to components.

What is liquid filtration pressure drop?When liquid passes through a filter, it changes direction several times, and is forced through the

filter media where contamination is removed.These actions result in resistance to the flow of liquid causing lower pressure after the filter than before

it. This is known as pressure drop. There are 4 main factors that contribute to pressure drop. They are the filter media, contaminants, flow and viscocity.

TALKING PARTS ... with ALLRig TALKING PARTS ... with ALLRig

Filter MediaFilter Media is the material that removes the contaminant from the fluid. There are many different types of media used in filters. They range from traditional cellulose to the newer synthetic types. The cellulose media is a natural product and the fibres that make it are rough and irregular in size and shape. The pore sizes or holes in the media that the fluid passes through are relatively small in relation to the fibre size. This can cause a significant amount of friction as the fluid passes through it.Synthetic media are man-made fibres that are much smaller, smoother and more consistent in size. The smaller fibre size means more pores in a given area for the fluid to pass through. The result is less friction, and therefore lower pressure drop than cellulose media.

ContaminantsThe contaminant materials that are removed from the fluid by the filter can be made up of many different things such as dirt, sludge and wear metals. Regardless of the contaminant, as it is removed from the fluid, it builds up, gradually blocking the pores in the media. It therefore becomes harder for the fluid to pass through the media, increasing the pressure drop.

FlowAs the flow rate of the fluid is increased, more fluid tries to pass through the same surface area which requires more effort. This results in larger pressure difference from the dirty side to the clean side of the filter, or pressure drop.

ViscosityThis term is used to describe how thick the fluid is. Thicker, more viscose fluids are harder to push through the filter than thinner fluids.

Viscosity is usually significantly increased as the temperature drops. As viscosity increases, so does the pressure drop.These four things contribute to pressure drop and need to be considered when selecting a filtration system or non-recommended will-fit filter. The only successful way to allow for pressure drop is to select the correct filter or filtration system for the job.

Your local ALLRig Dealer stocks a comprehensive range of quality filters and related accessories from Donaldson and Cummins Filtration - two of the industry’s leading brands - and suppliers to OE manufacturers around the world.

Technological advances in engine manufacturing in the past 20 years have been significant, and the same goes with filtration. The importance of the liquid filter cannot be underestimated in protecting and prolonging the life of the equipment it is specified to safeguard.

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.

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.

To determine if any deductions apply, visit the Australian Tax Office or seek advice from your tax agent.


Glare Horizontally reflected light such as sunlight or artificial light including car headlamps can create annoying and sometimes dangerous glare. Glare can be extremely dangerous even in foggy or overcast conditions. Kenworth sunglasses cut glare and aid in reducing user eye-strain.

Polarised LensesThese lenses contain a special built-in filter designed to reduce intense reflected light from non-metallic surfaces such as vehicle glass, painted surfaces, roads and water.

Photochromic LensesKenworth sunglasses feature photochromic lenses that darken automatically according to light conditions. They also protect your eyes from 100 percent of the sun’s harmful ultraviolet UVA / UVB radiation.

Anti-reflective treatmentA state-of-the-art coating on the inside of the lenses helps reduce the glare from internal lights caused by light bouncing off the lens to your pupil.

De-centered lenses De-centred lenses are calibrated to balance out the distortion

effect caused by curved lenses. This enables the user to see up or down or straight ahead without experiencing any optical distortion.

Product RangeThe Kenworth range of sunglasses consists of six modern styled lightweight black or tortoise shell frames in a comfortable wrap around shape.The lenses are glass or polycarbonate in a grey or copper colour. Prescription glasses are also available on request.
