In the August edition of TransportTalk magazine we look at the new Giga series 6×4 Isuzu range which has been put through rigorous testing for New Zealand conditions before its October launch.
The majority of testing took place in Blenheim with Gills Construction and Wadsco Trucks Isuzu.
Isuzu NZ general manager Colin Muir says he was “stunned” by the performance of the new trucks during the testing stages and sees the new generation trucks as “a different beast” to earlier models.
TransportTalk takes a look at Christchurch-based transport engineering company, TMC Trailers as it celebrates 70 years of business.
We also investigate the new partnerships involved in driver face tracking software aimed at tackling fatigue and distraction in the commercial vehicle industry.
This involves collaboration between Autosense (distributors of Seeing Machine driver monitoring systems), insurance provider NZI and telematics provider ERoad.
Plus, the new Tomoana Food Hub (sister company to Tomoana Transport) is set to get underway in the Hawke’s Bay, Melbourne-based company SEA Electric is making waves in New Zealand’s growing electric vehicle market with commercial fleets and major transport firms sign up to the new government-backed Climate Leaders Coalition.
