The Institute of Road Transport Engineers New Zealand (IRTENZ) is holding its annual conference on the 26th and 27th November this year at the Jet Park Hotel and Conference Centre in Hamilton. The theme is Moving New Zealand Forward, and the key topics are: vehicle technology update, power train and energy supply, engineering vehicles to manage pavement wear, and compliance and systems.
It's a must-attend for anyone involved in the road transport industry today, and certainly those responsible for moving tomorrow's world.
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.
A real opportunity that doesn't come around often, Dave sits down with Randall Seymore – Penske COO for international businesses, and Hamish Christie-Johnston – Penske managing director for Australia and New Zealand. A fascinating chat from a unique global business position.
In the OEM Update, we talk with a broad cross section of original equipment suppliers to the New Zealand industry. Kerry Ridgway is category manager at Ancra New Zealand, and he joins us to talk all things load restraint. Plus there's a neat story that speaks volumes about his approach to customers and business.
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.
In September 25 we continue our theme of revisting former guests, checking in on how their world is progressing. This month, we speak with Alex Watson, co-founder of Jump Charging, and the exciting things happening in their world over the last 17 months.
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! The September 2025 New Zealand Trucking magazine Clear the Air column – 'From Tiny Acorns' discusses the climate case where 27 Pacific Island law students won in the International Court of Justice at the Hague, its ramifications and implications. And we wander down other rabbit holes as you're all well used to.
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, a fantastic chat with Andrew Clark, national manager for maintenance and operations at NZTA Waka Kotahi. Our roads are in for far more than a visible overhaul, and in the background it's a whole new approach to how money is spent, and the processes that drive planning, selection, decision, execution, and accountability. This is a most enlightening interview.
