The April 2017 issue of DIESELtalk magazine is available for download.
Our April magazine lead story reveals the New Zealand Police proposal to disestablish the positions of 26 vehicle safety officers around New Zealand, and we bring you the industry response to this.
We also investigate the results of the vehicle licensing reform for TSDA agents providing COF-B, two years on and ask the industry about the impact on business.
We also confirm that KiwiRail is charging an additional “earthquake” levy to transport operators using the Interislander Ferry service which it says will be reviewed in June.
Our commercial feature editorial this month focusses on capital asset finance and leasing, and we also look at the revised 2017 Iveco Daily range as well as a new ute from LDV.
Plus, we bring you the usual round of new and used vehicle registration statistics, industry comment, and event coverage.
