Australian Trucking Quarterly

In this Autumn edition of Australian Trucking Quarterly, we visit Jono Price to check out his latest K200 Kenworth, packed with loads of safety features including swing out steps. And we join him on a run to Hobart to pick up fish food for the nearby fish hatchery. 


Our Technical Editor explains the features and functions of ZF’s new Traxon Transmission that’s fitted to the new CF and XF Euro-6 DAF trucks. 


We take a run with one of the last Tasmanian hardwood loggers who operates a Cummins powered Western Star 4900.


In the Technical Tips section, we explain how to operate Jost sensor fifth wheel fitted with three sensors. 


We check out the new DAF Euro-6 DAF trucks that claim to have a 7% reduction in fuel usage and boast a host of features to make the driver’s life better. 


Finally, we head to Far North Queensland and visit and ore hauling operation that runs around the clock and check out their unique side tipping trailers.
