It's a must-attend for anyone involved in the road transport industry today, and certainly those responsible for moving tomorrow's world.   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.

A fascinating chat from a unique global business position.

Plus there's a neat story that speaks volumes about his approach to customers and business.  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.

Our roads are in for far more than a visible overhaul, and in the background it's a whole new approach to how money is spent, and the processes that drive planning, selection, decision, execution, and accountability. This is a most enlightening interview.
