Keep On Moving UDC's Business of Trucking Ep7

In the August 2024 Keep On Moving Business Edition ...

Innovation has been at the core of Straitline Canvas since the start. Partnering with TR Group the firm has recently begun a trial of a new breed of curtain made from 35% recycled PVC. Regardless of where you stand on the environmental subject, finding a second life for old PVC is in no way a bad thing. We talk with operations manager William Rice.

Jeff and Yvette Mear own and run Fruehauf NZ. We sit down for an insightful and interesting chat with Jeff on where their world and industry are at and what just around the bend. 

There's a whole new world heading our way, and whether we like it or not, we need to find out more about it so we're ready. Powering On talks to people in the know and those who have already headed off on a new propulsion journey. We aim to make it not too techy, delivering useful information for those who will still be responsible for delivering tomorrow's goods.

This month, a Powering On section like no other before ... a chat with national sales manager for Volvo NZ Scott Robinson while driving an FM Electric around the Hampton Downs motor racing circuit at the 2024 Volvo Trucks New Zealand drive day.

Clear the Air is the section where co-host Dave McCoid and his good mate and environmental champion Lindsay Wood discuss the climate and environmental issues of the day, as they should be discussed – respectfully! This month: might the lightest gas be up to the heavy transport lifting? Part one of a two-parter on the pros and cons of hydrogen as a viable alternative fuel.

Enjoy!
