This month on the UDC Business Podcast ...

Many in the industry would say we need another industry representative body like a hole in the head, yet there's no shortage of those who believe we're far from an industry representation sweet-spot. Chris Webby is chairman of SIRTA (South Island Regional Transport Association), the new front name for the Road Transport Association Region 4. He tells us why they've established SIRTA, and where they believe the gaps are in industry representation. 

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 our new tomorrow. This month, a unique opportunity to chat with the regional manager for a global giant. James Edgeworth heads FedEx in New Zealand and Fiji, and recently the company purchased 10 LDV eDeliver-9 vans for its operation in Auckland. We discuss the purchase, the plans, and get a mind-boggling insight into scale. 

We catch-up with IVECO New Zealand national sales manager Erwin Stolze and chat about life two years after the S-Way and T-Way launch – the market's acceptance of the new models, product support, keeping pace, and New Zealand Inc! 

Our resident Business Together columnist Roylance Watson from accounting firm Vazy Child in Hamilton picks topics from her writings to share on the UDC Business of Trucking podcast. This month, the big subjects of setting goals with staff and KPIs. Don't assume it's all too daunting!

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, 'Through the eyes of others'. Lindsay and Dave chat about Hannah Ritchie's wonderful world of data, and the UK's proactive emissions path. The upshot is maybe we're not as clean as we think we are. 

Plus On Schedule with NRC, the latest truck news and much more.
