The Board of Directors of Scania has appointed Martin Lundstedt new

President and Chief Executive Officer of Scania AB. Lundstedt will take up his new position as of September this year.Lundstedt succeeds Leif Östling, who has been appointed member of the Board of Management of Volkswagen AG. Changes will also be made in Scania’s Executive Board on the same date.Lundstedt joined the company in 1992 and has held various senior positions including head of Scania’s industrial operations in

France from 2001 to 2005 and Senior Vice President, Trucks, until 2007, when he assumed his current position. Lundstedt’s move has caused a domino effect at the top. In addition to its new CEO, Jan Ytterberg, Chief Financial Officer, and Christian Levin, Head of Sales and Services Management, remain in their current positions. Per Hallberg, currently Head of Research and Development, Purchasing, has been appointed Head of Production and Logistics. In his new position, he succeeds Anders Nielsen, who has been appointed Chief Executive Officer of MAN Truck

& Bus AG. New member of the Executive Board and Head of Research & Development, succeeding Per Hallberg, will be Dr. Harald Ludanek. Henrik Henriksson, has been appointed new member of the Executive Board and Head of Franchise and Factory Sales, succeeding Lundstedt.In Scania’s other Executive Board moves, Andrea Fuder, has been appointed Head of Purchasing, while Kent Conradson has been appointed Head of Human Resources. ■

As part of the South Australian Government’s strategy to reduce

road deaths, fines for low-level speeding will be reduced but demerit points will double from 1 September this year. Fees for higher level offences will increase.Treasurer Jack Snelling said the enforcement was necessary to save lives and reduce injuries on South Australian roads, hoping that the changes would encourage people to stick to the speed limit.“The speeding fine for speeding less than 10km/h will fall from $260 to $150 but demerit points will

double from one to two,” Mr Snelling said.“Speeding more than 45km/h will see the fine increase from $671 to $900 with demerit points increasing from six to nine points.“As Treasurer I would be more than happy to see a reduction in revenue from speeding infringements but for that to happen there needs to be a reduction in the number of speeding drivers,” he said.“Increasing the fines for drivers blatantly disregarding the law and increasing demerit point across the board will hopefully do just that.”

“The number of speeding offenders has reduced in recent years with a declining road toll but almost a quarter of motorists still exceed the speed limit.”Infringement data from the South Australian Police shows 38 per cent of expiation notices issued in 2011 were for speeding by less than 10km/h over the limit, while about 79 per cent were for speeding by less than 15km/h over the limit.The changes will see the introduction of a new bracket with brackets to incur every 10 km/h between 10 km/h and 30 km/h. ■

The Shell Company of Australia Limited has officially opened a

new Biodiesel facility at its Newport Terminal in Victoria. This new state of the art facility has enabled Shell to launch BioDiesel 20 into the Australian market, a world first for the company.Shell’s new B20 diesel fuel will be offered to Shell’s Commercial customers, initially from its Newport terminal in Melbourne.The biofuel component of Shell BioDiesel 20 is being sourced from an Australian biocomponent producer, Australian Renewable Fuels (ARF), based in Barnawartha in regional Victoria.Victorian Minister for Employment & Industrial Relations, Manufacturing,

Exports & Trade, The Hon. Richard Dalla-Riva MLC, officiated at the launch of the new Shell BioDiesel facility, which was held at the terminal.“Shell’s investment in this facility will give people in Victoria greater access to biodiesel produced in regional Victoria, which will support jobs and investment and expand the local biofuels industry.”Shell Vice-President of Downstream Australia, Andrew Smith, added, “The launch of the facility represents one of the largest projects Shell has undertaken at its Newport terminal in ten years. It is also tremendous to have another Shell world first happen here in Australia.“This investment of almost $5 million

included $2 million from the Victorian Government in the development of the new tank and blending facility.“While there are many benefits to customers from using biodiesel blends up to B20, we are especially pleased that it will support Victoria’s regional economy, notably the Barnawartha area,” said Mr Smith.He continued, “After a lengthy and robust quality assurance process we are confident of supplying a B20 product of consistently high quality to the Victorian market. This has been a collaborative effort between Shell, the Victorian Government and ARF in Barnawartha.“This innovation gives Shell customers additional choice from our existing range of quality fuels.” ■

Trucking businesses should review their costs and freight rates ahead

of the introduction of the carbon tax and the 2.4 cents per litre increase in their fuel tax on 1 July 2012, according to the Chief Executive of the Australian Trucking Association, Stuart St Clair.Although trucking businesses will not pay carbon tax on the fuel they use on public roads until 1 July 2014, they will still face increased costs from 1 July 2012 as their suppliers increase their prices, he said.“Like every other business, trucking businesses should review their costs and make a judgement about whether they are likely to increase as a result of the carbon tax. With just one month to go before the introduction of the tax, it’s time for every trucking

business to talk to their accountant or go over their books,” Mr St Clair said.“The tax is likely to have a particularly large impact on trucking businesses that operate cold stores, because electricity typically accounts for about 30 per cent of their costs.“In New South Wales, electricity prices are set to rise 16 per cent on average, with nine percentage points of the increase coming from the carbon tax. Businesses will need to take this cost increase into account, as well as the substantial increase expected in the cost of refrigerants.“Trucking businesses offering intermodal services will also face cost rises, with Pacific National imposing a 1.34 per cent carbon cost surcharge and the Spirit of Tasmania ferry service imposing a 2.04 per cent

surcharge.”Mr St Clair said trucking businesses would also face a 2.4 cents per litre increase in their effective fuel tax from 1 July 2012. Many registration charges will also increase.“The fuel tax and registration charge increases will cost a typical owner-driver about $2,800 per year. For a trucking business with ten prime movers and semitrailers, the cost increase is likely to be about $41,800 per year.“Every trucking business needs to talk to its customers about increasing freight rates or adjusting their fuel surcharges. It’s a hard ask, but the industry’s customers need to understand that our costs are going up and we cannot absorb them,” he said. ■

NatRoad is now taking registrations for its annual

flagship event, the NatRoad Conference 2012.The event takes place from 2 to 4 August at the Hyatt Regency Sanctuary Cove on the Gold Coast in Queensland. According to NatRoad, the NatRoad Conference 2012 is a must attend event for road transport operators and industry stakeholders.

Delegates will hear from key decision-makers on the transformative issues for 2012/13 including Heavy Vehicle National Law and the Road Safety Remuneration Act 2012 which will establish a new Regulator to administer national laws and a tribunal with powers to set pay and related conditions for employee and owner drivers. Other topics will include Trucking and the Mineral Resources Sector,

the Future of Technology in Transport and Risk Management and Accreditation. A series of new concurrent delegate forums will also be take place during the conference with a focus on refrigerated freight, over-dimensional freight and dangerous goods, bulk liquid and dry freight, and container and general freight.To register for the event, please visit the NatRoad website. ■

WMC Group, the importer and distributor of JAC Trucks and Higer Buses in Australia and New Zealand, has

appointed the Wheelans Motor Group as master franchisee for New Zealand.The new arrangement is designed to increase both sales reach and penetration for the Higer and JAC brands in New Zealand, providing strong existing infrastructure, expertise and customer service via the Wheelans Motor Group and the existing dealer network.Phil Wheelans will take direct control of the Higer and JAC master franchises in New Zealand, while the separate but wholly owned Phil Wheelans Truck and Van Sales will continue selling and servicing Fuso trucks and other brands under separate management. According to managing director of the WMC Group, Jason Pecotic, the move is a logical step in the development of the brand. “New Zealand is a relatively small, but still important market to us and the appointment of Phil Wheelans and his team at Wheelans Motor Group as master franchisee will ensure we have the infrastructure and the personnel on the ground to service all of our current and potential customers properly.”The Wheelans Motor Group has been a Higer bus and JAC truck dealer since January 2012 and has a long, distinguished history in New Zealand as a Daimler Group truck dealer selling Mercedes Benz, Fuso, Sterling and Freightliner. The company also operates a large-scale truck and trailer rental business. ■

WMC Group announces boost to vehicle distribution operations in New ZealandToll Global Logistics, a division of Toll

Group, has announced a restructure that will combine its finished vehicle distribution service with automotive storage, processing and rectification specialist, PrixCar, the 50-50 joint venture between Toll and K-Line Auto-Logistics Pty Ltd.As a result, Toll said it will sell down its finished vehicle distribution service, which is part of its Toll Global Logistics Automotive business (formerly Toll AutoLogistics), to establish a more sustainable and competitive business model that will produce stronger

outcomes for both companies.The aim of this change is to provide its customers with a fully integrated, end-to-end supply chain management service.The net impact of the sale will be a $75 million after tax cash inflow to Toll, and a pre-tax gain of approximately $47 million ($37 million after tax). Toll will retain its 50 per cent interest in PrixCar.For the 2012 financial year, Toll Global Logistics’ finished vehicle distribution service is expected to have revenues of around $158 million and

earnings before interest and tax of more than $11 million. Following the restructure, Toll will account for its 50 per cent share of PrixCar’s earnings as associate earnings.The transfer of Toll’s finished vehicle distribution service to PrixCar is expected to take place early in the new financial year and is subject to usual conditions.Toll Global Logistics, Automotive will retain its parts logistics service in Australia and Asia, as well as its finished vehicle distribution service in Asia. ■

The PACCAR & Dealer Industry Fund, on behalf of Kenworth,

DAF and the PACCAR Dealer network, have cemented their sponsorship of the Australian Trucking Association (ATA) by presenting a $100,000 sponsorship

cheque at the ATA convention.According to ATA Chairman, David Simon, this kind of support is essential in allowing the ATA to continue to lobby for a safe, professional and viable industry.“I’d like to thank PACCAR Australia

and its dealers for their continued support of the ATA and its goals,” Mr Simon said.“I look forward to continuing to work with them in the future, as we strive towards a better, safer trucking industry for all Australians.” ■

Kenworth’s best-selling model, the K200 cab-over, has undergone

a major interior update. The new, ergonomically-designed cabin features a host of innovations to improve driver comfort, safety and productivity.The enhanced interior, which goes into full production in July 2012, boasts Kenworth’s first Smart Wheel, a steering wheel with finger-tip controls for crucial functions. It also includes a curved and redesigned dash and overhead console as well as increased storage.The interior attracted widespread industry interest and praise when it was publicly unveiled, both in a

K200 and a cutaway cab display, at the 2012 International Truck, Trailer and Equipment Show in Melbourne in March.Kenworth’s Director Sales and Marketing, Andrew Hadjikakou, said he was delighted with the response from customers, drivers and industry media. “Everybody was impressed with the driver-friendly innovations. And they liked the sleek, intuitive design with all important features within easy reach,” said Mr Hadjikakou. “The K200 is a perfect example of our philosophy of continuous improvement through evolutionary design. The new interior is fully appointed, and

extremely comfortable to operate and live in when on the road,” said Mr Hadjikakou.In addition, by rearranging the console layout, Kenworth has added two extra storage compartments above the driver and another on the passenger side.“One of our design objectives was to provide operators with as many practical storage options as possible,” said Mr Hadjikakou. “Where drivers store their gear is very subjective. So we offer a mix of closed lockers, open pockets and compartments with shelving. This makes our storage areas multi-purpose to suit individual needs.” ■

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

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.

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.

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
