A
victim of bad fuel .
. .
Because of contaminated diesel, what should have
been a pleasant experience with a unique truck ended up
as an expensive nightmare and an experience not to be
forgotten. There are lessons here. |
|
|
East
meets West .
. .
This year, at the Auto Africa Truck and Bus Expo,
a host of new brands vied for attention against the
stalwarts of the trucking world. FleetWatch
deputy editor Paul
Collings put on his walking shoes to check what’s
afoot in SA’s new era of trucking. |

A FleetWatch Special
report –
Refrigerated Transport
|
Not
for the faint-hearted .
. .
Transporters engaged in refrigerated transport
have survived a grinding and challenging 2006 with many
adverse inputs acting on this industry sector. It’s
now got to the point where the very survival of long
haul refrigerated transporters is under threat writes FleetWatch
correspondent Max
Braun. |

A FleetWatch
Special Report –
Fleet Management Systems
|
The
Revolution is Coming .
. .
Fleet Management systems are now being marketed by truck
OEMs who are integrating their factory-fitted electronic vehicle
management systems with Fleet Management and Telematics systems.
This represents a watershed in the commercial fleet management
arena writes Paul Collings.
|
|
|
Definitely
Maybe . . .
Fleet Management/Telematics Systems marketed under the
banner of truck OEMs have arrived. Paul Collings asks
three of South Africa’s FM system developers for their
comments on what could be construed as a serious threat to
their market share. |
|
SA's
FM Vanguard. . .
The lead article in this special report discusses the
selling of FM (Fleet Management) and Telematics solutions by
European truck OEMs. |
|
|
The
Tacho rocks on .
. .
Despite its somewhat ‘antiquated’ technology,
the tachograph continues to provide fleet managers with
valuable information regarding trucks and their drivers. Paul
Collings finds out why.
|
|
Volvo
steers clear. . .
Not all the European OEMs are ready to pounce on our buoyant
local Fleet Management market with brand-specific Telematics
systems. |

Matrix
turns 10 .
. .

with a function that gives true meaning to its slogan that ‘Our
customers are people not vehicles’.

Burning
Profits .
. .
For those operators still not convinced of the folly of
having their trucks park illegally alongside highways, this
story provides ample evidence.

SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTIONS.
. .
Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI's) are caused by germs that are passed on from one person to another during sex. These infections are very common, with over 4 million people receiving treatment for STI's in South Africa every year.
HIV/AIDS
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) destroys a person's immune system, making it impossible for the body to fight off disease or illnesses.
AIDS is the last phase of a deadly disease caused by HIV.

INDUSTRY
OBSERVATION
|
Driver
incentives can be fatal. . .
I recently came across
a driver salary structure of a well-known car carrier subcontractor. In it,
a ‘bonus’ incentive exists, specifically; R1500 extra if the driver
exceeds 30,000kms a month! Yes 30,000kms. No kidding!

New
compulsory stop at Van Reenens. . .
The N3TC is currently engaged in three important
road-safety enhancements around the Van Reenens Pass area -
and FleetWatch
urges all operators using the route to inform their drivers
of these developments. |
