    Keep On Moving UDC Business Podcast June July 26

    Join the team at New Zealand Trucking Media as they talk with senior industry people on business at the moment, direction, and state of the industry and economy. Dave speaks with Dave Christie, director of supply chain strategy at Tainui Group Holdings (TGH) and co-founder of Synergic Technologies. The core of the discussion is Aka Raupapa, the TGH and Brightstar Events National Supply Chain Super Hui being held at The Pa, Waikato University early next month. An event for those intending to play a role in the nation's supply chain activities in the coming generation, there's no question the TGH-developed Ruakura inland port and logistics super-hub is going to play a pivotal role in the New Zealand supply chain going forward. We also take time to geek out on supply chain in general, and New Zealand's situation in the world. In the OEM update, we talk with a broad cross section of original equipment suppliers to the New Zealand industry. They don't come any bigger and better known than MTE Group. Robbie Pasley is a career transport man and business development manager at the Waikato-founded-and-based road transport equipment manufacturing and service icon. He joins the OEM update on the eve of their sales conference to give us the latest.  We need to find out more about the new world heading our way. 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 our new tomorrow. We hear more and more that Europe has grabbed the energy transition horse by the riens and is taking off, leaving us in its wake. This month Dave catches up with Will Shiers, editorial director at Commercial Motor, Motor Transport, and Transport News, as well as International Truck of the Year (IToY) jury member, to see if that is in fact the case. Clear the Air is the section where co-host Dave McCoid and his good mate and Environmental champion Lindsay Wood discuss the climate and envirionmental issues of the day, as they should be discussed - respectfully! It's all on in June for the last of Lindsay's magazine based articles. We delve into the incidious world of supply chains suppprting the global 'tat' e-commerce trade, talk about the idea of many deliveries-one product, and pass like ships in hte night over hybrid vehicles.

    Keep On Moving Podcast UDC Business Edition May 26

    Join the team at New Zealand Trucking Media as they talk with senior industry people on business at the moment, direction, and state of the industry and economy. New Zealand Trucking magazine editor Gavin Myers got the rare opportunity to sit down with Sime Darby Berhad Group CEO Jeffri Davidson and Managing Director of Sime Darby Motor Group NZ Pat McKenna at the opening of the new Sime Motors NZ-owned Truck Stops repair and service centre at Ruakura in Hamilton. It's an event no one involved in supply chain either now or the years ahead should miss. The Aka Raupapa National Supply Chain Super Hui, hosted by Tainui Group Holdings (TGH) and Brightstar at the Pa University of Waikato, takes place on the 1st and 2nd of July. The theme is Moving from Intention to Action. There's no question Ruakura will continue to develop as one of the country's epicentres of supply chain activity, and what happens there over the next generations will impact every business and transport operation in the country.  National Road Carriers CEO, Justin Tighe-Umbers speaks on why this event should not be missed. https://brightstar.co.nz/events/aka-raupapa/ We need to find out more about the new world heading our way. 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 our new tomorrow. Alternatively propelled heavy vehicles need evaluation in the live environment, operating at optimum capability and therefore efficiency, even if the best we can produce today doesn't quite fit the playing field rules. In a single jurisdiction nation, we should be shining the light on making such evaluation a reality. At least that's what you would think. Senior product engineer e-mobility at Scania NZ, Alfons Reitsma, joins us to share a growing sense of frustration currently experienced by many in the industry attempting to do the right thing in the pursuit of the cleaner tomorrow. In the OEM update, we talk with a broad cross section of original equipment suppliers to the New Zealand industry. This month we enjoy a great chat with someone well known in the truck body and trailer manufacturing space. John Stevens is Auckland operations manager for Action Manufacturing's Fairfax and Freighter divisions, and he joins us for one of the most engaging and relaxed OEM Update conversations we've had in ages.   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, why do Kiwis dislike discussing the difficult questions? Is our persona and easy-going nature doing us a disservice in the climate predicament space? A couple of Kiwis try and get to the bottom of that one, amongst a number of other rabbit holes, as is normally the case.   On Schedule is the series where Dave McCoid, editorial director at New Zealand Trucking Media, speaks with the National Road Carriers senior team and guests on a broad selection of topical industry subjects as well as the work the association does – the wins, the challenges, and the strategies taken on key issues of the day. This month, general manager for policy and advocacy at National Road Carriers, James Smith, joins Dave to discuss New Zealand's energy resilience. How are we coping with a real test of the system? If we're lucky the current Middle East situation might be the wake-up call we needed. If not, what happens next?
