Welcome to the April edition of TransportTalk magazine.
In this issue we cover the opening of Keith Andrews Trucks’ new purpose-built Hamilton dealership.
It’s the fourth upper North Island Fuso-focused branch to open and comes as the brand launched its new Enduro range in March.
We speak with Fuso NZ managing director Kurtis Andrews about the new range and the interest it gathered for the month.
We also talk to Sime Darby’s Michael Doeg who has announced his move from general manager at Hino Truck Distributors to group retail general manager for its Auckland passenger car dealerships.
Despite moving away from trucks, Doeg says the similarities between commercial and passenger vehicle sales are closer than one might expect.
We also cover truck care and servicing and look at a range of companies launching new products and services.
We speak with CleanCo Truck Wash director Richard Vincent about the company’s first mobile service and look into New Zealand’s first truck conversion workshop launched by Waste Management, which is turning diesel trucks into electric vehicles.
The April issue also examines the recent BusinessNZ report on Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) and how the benefits of the high-tech boom within the transport industry could potentially earn billions for the freight and logistics sector.
Plus, take a look at our regular columns and statistics pages that keep you up-to-date with the latest industry trends.
