WWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZWWW.GOCLEAR.CO.NZ Coronado for racing duties Freightliner Racing has replaced its Freightliner Argosy cabover prime mover with a Freightliner Coronado 114 for the upcoming V8 Supercar season. The team transporter, nicknamed Stax, is driven by Paul Eddy, who clocks up around 45,000km a year towing a B-double trailer loaded with two cars and equipment. It ’s not a heavy combination (around five tonnes shy of its 62.5 tonne maximum weight), offering no challenge for the 15-litre Detroit six-cylinder turbo diesel under the bonnet that generates a healthy 560hp and 1850lb/ft of torque. Eddy had driven an Argosy with a cavernous 110-inch sleeper cab for the past few seasons, but trades off some of that space for a bonnet with the new Coronado, which has a 34-inch sleeper.

EROAD launches Max Speed Alert EROAD has launched a product that provides notifications of excessive speeding so transport operators can take swift action to protect their drivers, the public and their business. With Max Speed Alert, EROAD customers set the speed that triggers an alert for different assets. Notifications can be set to allow higher or lower maximum speed limits on different vehicle types. The email notifications include location, date, vehicle and driver details for excessive speed events. “Max Speed Alert provides timely, accurate information that lets fleet managers act quickly,” says Tony Warwood, EROAD New Zealand general manager. “Fleet managers can then hold discussions about speed exceptions, encouraging drivers to stay under the limit, helping prevent collisions, rollovers and unsafe driving behaviour.” In addition to Max Speed Alert notifications, excessive speed events are noted on an Over Speed Dashboard in Driver Insight reports. 12 New Zealand Trucking April 2017 ROAD NOISE NEWS HOT TIP FOR 2017!
