How about a Dodge nameplate? In 2013, FCA’s Ram Truck Brand president and CEO Reid Bigland repeatedly talked about bringing back the Dodge heavy truck brand. Bigland came to FCA from Freightliner.

Diesel News AU / February 7, 2017 A wise man once said, ‘the only constant is change’ and this applies to the cab vs conventional and Euro vs USA debate. However, when a situation lasts for quite a few years, the human mind tends to think it was always like this and forgets major changes of the past. The heavy end of the Australian prime mover market seems to be going through such a change at the moment, with new players coming on strong and some of the older players changing strategy. A number of factors seemed to have conspired to cause a new order to be on its way and a change in emphasis for both truck buyers and sellers. What is clear is a trend towards cabovers, as opposed to conventionals, has been going on for some time. The B-double length rules made cabover prime movers a more flexible option within a fleet. Now we seem to see a drift in the cabover market towards European cabovers and away from the traditional market leaders from North America. Concurrent with these changes has been a, logical, new emphasis from the US based truck makers to develop conventionals which can also be used in the B-double applications which predominate. This has seen a shift back towards the North Americans, but nothing like as big a change as in the cabover segment. Conventional trucks also seem to be benefiting from the increasing use of A-double combinations around our capital cities, as well as in rural areas. These 30 metre long combinations are pulling heavy loads, up to 85 tonnes and there is often enough room for a conventional to do the work. As this segment expands, as it surely will, the market for conventionals should strengthen. These changes have seen the truck manufacturers shifting their positions and try to adapt to the new conditions. New opportunities are opening up for some and, for others, a change in emphasis is needed. The question for the truck buyer is whether this is a straightforward structural change taking place, which will not revert to the past, or if this is simply the global currency market at work. Since the GFC and the dip in the value of the Australian dollar, the effect on the North Americans has been much more dramatic than on the Europeans. This has meant Europeans have been more price competitive in pure money terms. This change has affected Freightliner, Western Star and Cat, who import direct from the US. However, even though Kenworth trucks are made in Australia, the number of components are of US-sourced composition, making them currency sensitive. As the popularity of European cabovers has grown in recent years it has appeared to be more than just a currency blip. Volvo and Scania have increased market share, while Western Star, and to a lesser extent Freightliner, seem to have slipped in the ratings. What can’t be said, for certain, is what the reason for these changes has been. However, there have been changes and three new releases this year reflect the new truck sales landscape we are looking at. Two of the European truck manufacturers, who have had consistently low market share in recent years, are looking to jump on the bandwagon, with new product which is much more precisely targeted at the Australian truck buyer. From Mercedes Benz, the new Actros could well be a game changer. It is a truck which is at the leading edge of technology and the long evaluation period over the past two years means it is Australia-ready. The new MAN TGX D38 is a first for the other German manufacturer, the 15 litre engine gives MAN product a new dimension and, spec for spec, this is a very competitive product. This is the opportunity for Penske Commercial Vehicles to get some real traction, in a market segment in which they have struggled to import trucks with specifications which directly match the needs of Aussie trucking. From the other side of the ledger, we have the dominant player in heavy duty stretching its muscles and introducing a new model. The Kenworth T610 is both a revolution and an evolution, it sees the truck maker heading down a new track with a new truck, but one developed in the traditional Kenworth way. With this new conventional, Kenworth have achieved their aim of creating a truck which will appeal to the heart of the Australian truckie, while also ticking all of the boxes, around safety, efficiency and integrated driveline, which the trucking business owner is looking for. The dominant flagship for Kenworth in the past, has been the K200. At certain times it has represented over 50 per cent of all cabover sales in heavy duty. With the introduction of the T610, there is now a high power range of conventional capable of pulling a 26 metre B-double with no dimension issues, from the top selling truck maker in the country. As usual, Kenworth have probably got both bases covered. If the drift to cabovers continues, the K200 is going to remain around the top of the list. If the market sees the new range of conventional as a viable alternative, the new T610 will fit the bill. 2017 is expected to be a relatively flat year, in terms of truck sales, but if the figures begin to change, we can expect confirmation of any new trends in the expected growth in 2018.

Transport Engineer / February 7, 2017 Suttons Group has ordered more than £17 million worth of new 6x2 tractor units for delivery over the next two years as replacements for its UK bulk tanker fleet. The international bulk chemicals logistics specialist has agreed deals with Volvo and MAN, with Volvo responsible for most of the truck deliveries in the first year. The initial order is for 80 Volvo FM 11 lightweight Euro 6c 6x2 tractors, specified with a mix of sleeper and globetrotter cabs, and SLP and ADR models. Deliveries are expected to commence in April, with commissioning of the first 80 due for completion by September 2017. All of the vehicles are being acquired on Volvo God R&M contracts. Suttons Group CEO John Sutton, CEO says that the company’s strategic procurement process considered the vehicle specification, fuel efficiency, vehicle reliability, after-sales support and whole life cost. He also says that safety was a key criterion. “Our drivers’ safety and wellbeing are of great importance so all of the trucks have undergone an evaluation by a driver trainer, focusing on areas like seat comfort, cab and bed access, noise and cab design. .

Transport Engineer / February 6, 2017 Prestons of Potto is now working 12 new Mercedes-Benz 2545 tractor units, acquired after witnessing fuel savings with a Mercedes-Benz Fuel Challenger demonstration unit. The North Yorkshire-based haulier initially ordered eight new Actros but almost immediately returned to dealer Bell Truck and Van for four more. All were specified with BigSpace cabs and the 450bhp straight-six engines driving through Powershift 3 AMTs (automated manual transmissions). Managing director David Preston says that, after just a couple of months on the road they are already living up to the Fuel Challenger’s promise, with mpg returns well ahead of the fleet average. “In December our new Actros averaged 9 mpg, [which] might not sound particularly impressive but our trucks are fully laden almost all of the time and our routes take them over some difficult terrain,” comments Preston. “To put it in context, the average figure across the fleet in the same period was 7.97 mpg.” Preston says the company evaluated demonstration units from several manufacturers. “We used a set course, with vehicles running between our headquarters in Northallerton and East Kilbride, hauling a 4.5-metre high curtainsider that was fully laden both ways,” he says. “Each truck covered the route on multiple occasions to iron out variations caused by differences in weather and traffic conditions, while we also invited those suppliers taking part to provide support from their driver-trainers to ensure each vehicle performed at its very best,” he continues. “It was a tough trial as the results proved, with most of the trucks struggling to hit 7 mpg. The Actros, by contrast, turned in a figure of 8 mpg, which ensured it was worthy of very serious consideration.” Preston also has praise for the dealer and the support offered by Mercedes’ dealer network, but adds: “The cab comfort and road manners of the Actros have also gone down extremely well with our drivers, even … confirmed fans of rival brands.” Prestons signed-up to a flexible Agility agreement with Mercedes-Benz Financial Services, which combines monthly payments with a range of options at the end of the term. “Our Actros are extremely cost-effective to operate and we’re benefiting from an excellent all-round package, confirms Preston. .

New assistance systems: Increased safety for pedestrians and cyclists Benchmark of active safety SiloNet company fleet to be comprised entirely of Actros models in future Stuttgart / Sulingen – Mercedes-Benz Trucks is the first manufacturer worldwide to get the new Active Brake Assist 4 (ABA 4) safety assistance system with pedestrian detection and Sideguard Assist for the Mercedes-Benz Actros on the road. Following its unveiling in late September 2016 at the IAA Commercial Vehicles show in Hanover, Germany, the first Actros trucks featuring the new safety system have been delivered since December 2016. Silo and tank tractor/trailer combinations: All safety systems 100 percent onboard One of the first customers to put an Actros tractor unit on the road with the full safety pack (ABA 4 with pedestrian detection, Lane Keeping Assist, Proximity Control Assist, Attention Assist and driver's airbag) and Sideguard Assist is SiloNet, a company based in Beckum and Sulingen, two towns in north-west Germany. The business, which was established in 2015 as a 50:50 joint venture between haulage company Gerdes und Landwehr and Holcim Deutschland (Germany's leading manufacturer of building materials), is using the Actros 1843 with silo semitrailer to transport cement, raw materials for cement and pulverised lignite, primarily on a regional basis. On these transport routes containing a high proportion of urban area, the new safety systems provided by Mercedes-Benz Trucks can help to considerably reduce accident figures. The installation of active safety systems in the Actros models is correspondingly high. Marcus Woldt, Mercedes-Benz truck sales consultant at the company-owned sales and service outlet in Hanover, looks after SiloNet and says: "Safety requirements are extremely high in the silo and tank trucking sector. That is why 100 percent of all tractor/semitrailer combinations will be fitted with our safety pack." Increased safety for pedestrians and cyclists Not only can the new ABA 4 automatically brake for vehicles in front or stationary obstacles within system limits, it also issues an audible and visual warning if pedestrians cross in front and, if required, initiates partial braking. This enables the truck driver to respond with maximum full-stop braking or to make an evasive steering manoeuvre. What is more, new radar-based Sideguard Assist can warn the driver – both audibly and visually – about stationary or moving obstacles on the nearside of the truck. These warnings are based on critical scenarios from accident analysis. The system is specially designed for the turning situation involving pedestrians and cyclists, as well as for changing to the nearside lane. As a result Sideguard Assist offers essential support to the driver when making cornering and turning manoeuvres in unclear situations. Mercedes-Benz Actros – the benchmark in safety matters Mercedes-Benz Trucks is currently the only manufacturer in the world to offer its heavy-duty trucks (Actros and Antos) with radar-based Sideguard Assist and Active Brake Assist 4 with pedestrian detection. It is precisely these two active safety systems which can guard against the two most frequent risks of accident in the haulage sector. The German Federal Statistical Office (DESTATIS) in 2015 recorded a total of 15 572 accidents involving personal injury and goods vehicles exceeding 3.5 t (source: DESTATIS report GFK). 8238 accidents occurred in parallel traffic. According to the latest statistics, 3509 accidents listed involved cornering and turning/crossing an intersection. As Mercedes truck salesman Marcus Woldt reports, the new Actros warns SiloNet about more than just these two risks of accident: "The Actros 1843 is equipped with every assistance system that Mercedes-Benz Trucks provides. In addition to new ABA 4 and new Sideguard Assist, these include Lane Keeping Assist, Proximity Control Assist, Attention Assist, driver's airbag and ESP. With this much equipment, no other competitor comes close to the Actros on safety matters." SiloNet: Fleet to be comprised entirely of Actros models in future SiloNet as a company also appreciates this and has already placed an order through Marcus Woldt for five more Actros tractor/semitrailer combinations. Deliveries commence in March. SiloNet's managing director John Henrik Landwehr: "We have ordered our next five Actros models to be equipped with the safety pack, which includes ABA 4, and Sideguard Assist, too. This is because vehicle safety is of the utmost importance to us. We would like to make the roads as safe as possible and for that reason are happy to spend a few extra euros, now and in future. That is why we are planning to switch the present SiloNet fleet of 38 tractor units entirely over to Mercedes-Benz Actros models by August 2017." Truck driver Herbert Schulz is pleased with his boss's proposed plan of action: "Safety is essential due to the increasing traffic on our roads. Given that the truck is also to support me in my duties and to be a comfortable place to work, clearly I advocate the Actros." SiloNet's other co-managing director Karl-Heinz Augustin gives another compelling argument in the Actros's favour: "Its economy is unsurpassed, not just with regard to fuel consumption. Thanks to the low kerb weight of our new silo tractor/trailer combination of 10.7 t with Actros loader and the weight-optimised silo semitrailer, we have 1.8 t more payload than with the previous combination." In summary: for SiloNet, the Actros with the new assistance systems is the absolute benchmark in terms of safety as well as economy in the market for heavy-duty trucks. .

Fleet Owner / February 7, 2017 Few outside of trucking, and even many in the industry, realize that America’s 500 largest private fleets operate 1.38 million trucks and tractors. For-hire carriers are undoubtedly the public face of trucking as they haul the lion’s share of freight in this country, yet private fleets run the overwhelming majority of commercial vehicles on our roads as they quietly fill critical support roles for all types of businesses. They carry field technicians and their tools to work sites, enable energy exploration and extraction, keep construction projects of all sizes supplied with raw materials, pick up and dispose of our trash, deliver fresh food to our store shelves, support manufacturing operations of all types, and generally underpin critical economic activity. For the 14th year, the annual Fleet Owner 500 shines a light on these essential if underappreciated trucking operations, ranking the 500 largest by the number of tractors and trucks they operate and identifying the industries they serve. It’s compiled by FleetSeek.com from a database that’s constantly being updated through a variety of channels to create the most up-to-date list possible. While last year’s report based on 2015 results showed major growth in the number of power units controlled by the Fleet Owner 500, this year there was virtually none with our truck and tractor totals only showing a 20,000-unit increase from the previous year’s 1.36 million. Given the relative sluggish economic climate in 2016, combined with a substantial falloff in in truck sales and a generally soft freight market, that isn’t much of a surprise. However, while there was some pull-back in fleet size on the for-hire side in 2016, our 500 private fleets for the most part held course. In fact, the top 50 this year saw only one new name, and it was a fleet that came in at number 52 in the last report. Overall, there are only 10 new fleets in the 2017 rankings, and one of them was simply a name change. The one clear growth trend in the fleet-size numbers was in the petroleum/gases category, perhaps indicating the long-awaited recovery in the oil and energy industries. Matching the steady recovery in housing and commercial real estate in 2016, a number of construction companies and utility providers also showed substantial additions to their fleets, though not at the levels reported in petroleum. —Jim Mele

From the 1-Series thru the 4-Series, we used this style designation on the front grille. 164 means: 16 liters (V-8 power) 4 Series (4th generation) In recent years, we have used the model type and the horsepower of the engine. For example, R580. The Scania "modular" system is the envy of the global truckmaking industry. Scania chassis info & model designations - https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0ahUKEwjpzdTGnv_RAhUF04MKHfsxD54QFggaMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Ftil.scania.com%2Fidcplg%3FIdcService%3DGET_FILE%26dID%3D229035%26dDocName%3DDIS_0000087_18%26allowInterrupt%3D1&usg=AFQjCNEczAahURKW-znx_i8BeD1BSe_3Ew&bvm=bv.146496531,bs.2,d.eWE&cad=rjt

People around the world have different tastes, so the way a Scania is outfitted varies tremendously. A UK truck looks nothing like an Australian truck. "If" we built a truck for a major US fleet, it would look entirely different from the video truck and you would likely approve.

I always go straight to the source and check. It saves time.

Volvo, depending on the on-highway market almost exclusively for sales due to the failure of the VHD to attract sales, took a hit in 2016 when a weak economy drove fleets to cut orders, Once the economy takes off again, and with it tractor sales, Volvo will once more outsell the Mack brand by nearly 2 to 1. Mack of course at one time dominated construction and refuse. Now largely dependent on those segments owing to its small market share in tractors, Mack has seen its market share in construction and refuse dwindle in the face of strong competition from Paccar and others. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sales Results: Volvo versus Mack (North American market) Full Year 2016 Volvo 21,686 units (23.3% greater sales than Mack) Mack 17,167 Q4 2016 Volvo 4,458 (22.6% greater sales than Mack) Mack 3,551 Q3 2016 Volvo 4,645 (25.9% greater sales than Mack) Mack 3,581 Q2 2016 Volvo 6,786 (26.6% greater sales than Mack) Mack 5,192 Q1 2016 Volvo 5,797 (17.9% greater sales than Mack) Mack 4,843 Full Year 2015 Volvo 38,890 (42.3% greater sales than Mack) Mack 25,302 Q4 2015 Volvo 8,756 (28.8% greater sales than Mack) Mack 6,553 Q3 2015 Volvo 9,147 (39.9% greater sales than Mack) Mack 6,105 Q2 2015 Volvo 11,208 (52.5% greater sales than Mack) Mack 6,547 Q1 2015 Volvo 9,779 (46.4% greater sales than Mack) Mack 6,097 Full Year 2014 Volvo 33,800 (35.4% greater sales than Mack) Mack 23,634 Full Year 2013 Volvo 26,066 (35.3% greater sales than Mack) Mack 18,244

Iveco Trucks Australia / February 1, 2017 IVECO is making it more attractive than ever for buyers to invest in selected Daily, Eurocargo, ACCO, Stralis and Powerstar models, with a special added value offer on 2016 plated stock. Until April 30 or while stocks last, operators who purchase a 2016 model year Iveco truck will also qualify for a bonus Caltex Fuel card ranging in value from $1000 for Daily purchasers, $2000 for Eurocargo buyers and $5000 for those who invest in ACCO, Stralis or Powerstar models.* When combined with IVECO’s generous standard warranties, extended service intervals of up to 150,000 kilometres (model dependant) and renowned fuel efficiency, the fuel card offer further adds to a low cost of ownership experience. IVECO Australia Marketing Manager, Darren Swenson, says IVECO’s latest offer will help make way for new stock and provide savvy purchasers with a great deal. “These are still brand new trucks and vans and come with all the benefits and peace of mind that a new vehicle brings – the only difference is that they carry an earlier manufacture date,” he said. “For most prospective buyers this isn’t a concern and they’ll be further encouraged by a fuel card which means that the first few weeks of IVECO ownership is even more cost effective than usual – it’s a clever way to start 2017.” For full details see www.iveco.com.au or visit your local IVECO Dealership. *Offer available at participating Iveco Dealerships on selected 2016 plated or earlier Daily (van cab chassis and 4x4 models), Powerstar 6400 and 7200, Stralis ATi and AS-L models, ACCO and Eurocargo. .

Owner/Driver / February 7, 2017 A Mack with a difference - Nike kitted out a Mack Super-Liner B-double with something a little different up back... Nike worked alongside Mack Trucks Australia to launch their NikeWomen Metcon Mack last month, running events from 19th to 28th January. The NikeWomen Metcon Mack was a B-double with a difference - a travelling Nike+ Training Club (NTC), offering training sessions, product trials, and a bespoke Metcon gym. NikeWomen took the Mack on a road trip throughout New South Wales and Victoria, driven by Jess Edwards to encourage women to ‘stop exercising and start training’, a concept designed to give their training a purpose and to support them in achieving their goals. Jess Edwards, better known as Jillaroo Jess, saw fame thanks to her viral ‘jokingly serious’ truck safety video on Facebook. The ‘NikeWomen Metcon Mack’ was a Mack Super-Liner, powered by a 685hp MP10 and equipped with an mDrive automated manual transmission and 36-inch sleeper. The B-Double taut-liner trailer combination was completely transformed into a crossfit gym on wheels, complete with weights, training equipment, sound system, screens, and Nike Master Trainers. The NikeWomen Metcon Mack visited the following locations – impressive considering it’s a full-size B-Double: Thursday, 19th January - Hickson Road Reserve, Hickson Road, The Rocks NSW Friday, 20th January -Holden Centre, Collingwood Football Club, Olympic Boulevard, Melbourne VIC Saturday, 21st January - St Kilda Triangle Carpark, Jacka Boulevard (next to Palais Theatre), St Kilda VIC Sunday, 22nd January - Cunningham Pier, Western Beach Road, Geelong VIC Wednesday, 25th January - Flagstaff Hill Park, Endeavour Drive, Wollongong NSW Friday, 27th January - Centennial Park, Church Grounds, Parkes Drive, Centennial Park NSW Saturday, 28th January - Nobby’s Beach Reserve, Nobby’s Road, Newcastle NSW Photo gallery - https://www.ownerdriver.com.au/industry-news/1702/nikewomen-breaks-a-sweat-with-mack
