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. February was launch month for hte much anticipated New IEVCO Daily. Regional MD Glen Dyer was present at launch event at Tailem Bend in South Austalia. I had the chance to grab 15 minutes for a combined OEM update, and Wider Vew Interview.  

Graeme Sharp is group sales manager at Royans Transport Accident Repairs and he was out for the offical ribbon cutting of the company's outstanding new facility in Christchurch. We caught up with Sharpie for a chat.

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. For the third year in a row, the international Truck of the Year award was taken away with an electric truck - the DAF XD and XF electrics. I caught up with Commercial Motor editor Will Shiers to ask what the DAF had that got it over the line, and the big question, have we really seen the beginning of the new era and does he think an ICE truck will ever win it again.

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! This month, what would the benefits be if we could all be a fly on the wall of  eachother's conversation and unstand perspective one the biggest question facing the world today. Lindsay Wood had the opportunity to do just that recently, and wrote about it in the New Zealand Trucking magazine Clearing the Air column in February 2026. We talk about it in this show.

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.

Few in his industry have ability to demystify economics like Gareth, imparting some valuable tools for your decisions making tool chest.

Release your burdens to the universe, grab an ale, and prepare to unwind.

Here is the weekly update on the New Zealand economy with Cameron Bagrie and UDC

This week it's the inaugural Classics Around the Coast classic truck run. One of the entrants is Alan and Lee Tanner's magnificent Mack Super-Liner, purchased new by them in 1981 and restored to full glory.

Back in the early 70s, Alan and Lee Tanner's sawmilling operation in Tairua on the Eastern Coromandel was ankle-tapped by the truck-killing topography of the region. Getting logs to the mill and product to the Auckland, Waikato, and Bay of Plenty markets left a trail of tired and expired inferior trucks. Then the big American machines arrived, and their world changed. From then on it was bonnets, power and torque and fleet of magnificent iron. The physical barriers had found their nemesis.

I recorded an interview with Alan a few years back called The Big Trucks of Tanner Sawmills – repeated here for your pleasure on Classics Around the Coast week.

It's no use chasing emissions and carbon if we don't think about tyres becasue they're not going anywhere – our trucks and trailers will need tyres for the forseeable future. What to do with spent tyres has been a huge problem...until Tyrewise. We caught up with 3R Group CEO Adele Rose recently to see how the Tyrewise programme was tracking just over a year in. 

In the OEM update, we talk with a broad cross section of original equipment suppliers to the New Zealand industry. This month we talk to driector at Straitline Canvas Patrick Currie and get all the gloss about what's new in their business...and yes, we meant 'gloss'

Welcome to the first vocational podcast of 2026, and our first-ever international vocational podcast. Joining me on this episode is Tim Giles. He's a name many of you will recognise as my co-judge in the Truck of the Year Australasia (ToYA) competition, and the former editor of Diesel / Power Torque magazine in Australia. Since retiring last year, Tim's enjoying the freelance journo lifestyle, that includes a regular gig as Technical editor at Power Torque magazine. We're incredibly lucky to have him writing regualr content for us. Impressive as all that may be, it's not the reason I've had hime lined up for the vocational podcast since the outset. Tim's journey into journalism came from trucks and trucking though out Europe, and then on the east coast of the lucky country when he arrived in Aussie at the turn of the century. This is a fantastic story of fearless adventure by one of the most likeable blokes you would ever be blessed to meet.
