This month in the UDC Business of Trucking...
In 2018, Dean and Carey-Lee Purves took on one of the oldest and most famous names in New Zealand truck body and trailer building, Mills-Tui. We catch-up with Dean, a truly amiable bloke in a highly competitive industry. We learn about the dangers of Trade Me, as well as the importance of keeping an open mind to all opportunities when contemplating the future.
We're back chatting with New Zealand Trucking magazine editor, Gavin Myers, in Ask the Editor. The New Zealand Transport Agency has announced the lifting of Class 1 driver's licence GVM limits to 7500kg. Is this a good thing or not?
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 we meet with Gavin Barr, manager/shareholder at NZ Biofuels in Christchurch, and discuss where the biofuel industry is at, who NZ Biofuels are, and do we continue to miss a trick on the road to lower emissions?
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 a wider view and a narrower view from Lindsay's article the March 2025 issue of New Zealand Trucking magazine. Are we not paying enough attention to the little things and hidden detail that really matter?
Plus Cameron Bagrie's economic update, truck news, and more.
