Iveco joined CASE Construction Equipment at the BAUMA 2016 exhibition, one of the world’s most important trade shows for the Construction industry, to present the New Eurocargo 4x4 truck and showcases its full range of vehicles for the sector.

Iveco took part in BAUMA 2016, a leading exhibition for Construction, Building Material and Mining Machines and Construction Vehicles and Equipment, where it displayed four key products developed for construction businesses: the New Eurocargo 4x4 on its first public appearance, the new Daily 4x4 steel 3-lateral tipper, the Trakker 6x6 3-lateral tipper and the Astra HD9 8x6 rear tipper.

For the second time Iveco teamed up with sister brand CASE Construction Equipment at a major trade show to showcase their complementary offerings for the industry on the CASE stand FM.713/3.

New Eurocargo 4x4: European debut
In the medium-weight segment Iveco was showing the new 15-ton Eurocargo 4x4 displayed in the Infrastructure area of the CASE stand. This vehicle too belongs to a product family that has been very well received in the industry, having won the coveted title of “International Truck of the Year 2016”.

The New Eurocargo 4x4 is designed for the most demanding off-road work and is a good solution for construction and urban jobsites. It is available with a day or sleeper cab with standard roof. It has a gross vehicle weight of 11.5 or 15 tons and a range of wheelbases measuring from 3,240 to 4,150 mm.

It runs a Tector 7 engine in 220 and 250 HP variants on the 11.5-ton version, and 250 and 280 HP variants on the 15-ton version. It is the only Euro VI medium range vehicle to meet emissions standards with a single anti-emission system, the hi-SCR system with passive Diesel Particulate Filter.

The New Eurocargo 4x4 incorporates several protections for off-road driving such as steel bumpers, retractable access steps and a specific radiator guard. It features a front towing jaw and is available with PTO. The ZF six-speed manual gearboxes feature a servoshift system for easy gear changing even in the most demanding work conditions. Permanent four-wheel drive is provided by a longitudinal differential, which distributes torque between the front and rear axles. It is possible to select a fast or slow distributor ratio according to conditions (on / off road). In addition, three diff locks guarantee traction even in low-grip conditions. The exceptionally narrow steering angle ranging from 40 to 48 degrees, depending on the tyres, mean the Eurocargo is just as comfortable in urban sites as it is off-road.

New Daily 4x4: geared up for off-road
Following the New Daily’s great success as winner of the prestigious “International Van of the Year 2015” award, Iveco launched the New Daily 4x4. This vehicle is geared up for off road, for all tracks, for all conditions: on construction sites, for building and maintenance companies up to the highest altitudes. Its strength and durability are unrivalled in its class, thanks to its special off-road chassis. Indeed one of its key strengths is the C-section ladder frame chassis, which has always been typical of the Daily range, enabling the easiest body customisation and guaranteeing robust performance in all missions.

It runs a 4-cylinder, 3-litre F1C EuroVI heavy-duty common rail engine that develops a maximum power of 170 hp (125 kW) with a maximum torque of 400 Nm. The six-speed overdrive gearbox is coupled with the central transfer box with four low ranges in order to obtain 24 ratios. Thanks to its three differential locks, the New Daily 4x4 is able to tackle any slope and is capable of handling the most severe terrain, without any compromises as regards driving comfort. The vehicle is well suited to all types of missions, with a vast choice of PTOs available on the gearbox and the central transfer box, compatibility with on-road as well as off-road tyres, and the ability to front-mount other accessories like winches and snowploughs.

The New Daily is available in two versions, a single cab with two wheelbases (a short 3,050 mm variant and long 3,400 mm variant), and a crew cab with a 3,400 mm wheelbase, which can transport a crew of seven people.

With a the new trend of food trucks emerging the need for self-regulation also arises. The Mobile Food Truck & Street Food Association aims to ensure high operating standards.

A global phenomenon, food trucks have won the hearts of people looking for a different experience and convenience when it comes to having their lunch, dinner or a snack. However, as this industry is in its infant stages, there is a need for self-regulation to ensure that customers will get the best they could when they cue up for a meal. Joel Lee, Meal Box-er / Hon. Secretary shares some of his insights and what the association is trying to achieve.

“We now have 50 members, which is a great achievement, considering that we have only started our association in March,”
Lee said. There are, according to him, a lot of areas where work is needed. One of the key issues is that event organisers may think that they are offering a venue that will for food trucks that is worth charging for. “However, if you are imposing some RM 1 000 for a day, it is not worth for a food truck to go there,“ Lee explains. Naturally, you can only prepare a certain number of meals per hour and when you run out of stock, it is time to pack up and leave. Food truck operators are arguing that it is actually the other way around, with the food trucks adding fl avour to an event and shouldn’t be charged for the space. After all, if they were to operate elsewhere, they don’t have to factor in these fees.

Lee goes on to say that “The next issue is standards that we would want to impose. As with any restaurant, you expect it to be clean (Category A, Bersih). This is no different with a food truck, which deconstructed is simply a restaurant on wheels.” Mobile Food Truck & Street Food Association is aiming at introducing standards to ensure food safety and hygiene. “Just bear in mind that all you have to do is to buy a truck, have the back of it set up to be a kitchen and you are in business. You don’t need to be a chef in order to start this business. However, that also means you may not know about how to handle food stuffs properly.”

The third issue the Mobile Food Truck & Street Food Association concerns itself with is the communication with authorities such as DBKL. As with any new industry, there are a lot of questions that need to be answered, arrangements to be made and lobbying to be carried out. For example, certain areas of the Klang Valley may be very diffi cult to penetrate for food trucks as permits are not easy to get. “Why would that be the case? Our trucks wouldn’t take away customers from restaurants or Mamak stalls. On the contrary, we would create a different atmosphere and may even entice people to try new foods,” Lee reasons.

Among others, the association is also helping members to find business. When it comes to regular bookings or events such
as food truck carnivals, a lot of communication takes place in order to ensure that there are enough trucks present. Offering
an insight, Lee says “One advise we can give newcomers is very simple: Your food needs to be tried and tested. Don’t come up with something exotic that no one would want to even try or that is too complicated to eat. Ensure that you start in a location where you can actually meet the demand of patrons. There is nothing worse than running out of food because there are too many people flocking to your truck.” Lee can be contacted via This email address is being protected from spambots.

ZF SSM baru-baru ini melancarkan penggulungan kepada program kebajikan dan kitar semula automotif yang telah berlangsung selama sebulan, yang telah menggabungkan kedua-dua komponen alam semula jadi dan kemasyarakatan. Tabung yang diraih itu berjumlah RM 10,000 dan telah digunakan untuk membantu penduduk-penduduk di bawah kelolaan Selangor Family Aid Association.

“Tanggungjawab kemasyarakatan adalah gerak kerja dalaman dan nadi budaya korporat ZF SSM. Bagi kami, sebagai ahli korporat, ia adalah tugas kami untuk memberikan sumbangan kepada kesejahteraan komuniti. Kami berasa rendah diri kerana diberikan peluang ini untuk melakukan suatu perubahan, bukan sahaja kepada alam yang kita diami ini, tetapi juga kepada kehidupan penduduk di bawah Selangor Family Aid Association,” kata Pengarah Urusan ZF SSM, Mohd Syahrul Yusuf.

Dilancarkan pada awal Oktober 2016, kempen kitar semula ini adalah sebahagian daripada sumbangan ZF SSM kepada komuniti. Objektifnya adalah untuk menggalakkan lagi budaya kitar semula dalam industri automotif, lebih-lebih lagi dalam kalangan peniaga alat ganti. Sejumlah Sembilan peniaga alat ganti menyokong kempen ini dengan menyumbangkan besi buruk mereka untuk kebajikan, iaitu, YonMing Auto & Industrial Parts Sdn Bhd, Syarikat Selayang Muhibbah Sdn Bhd, Megamix Sdn Bhd, Rimbunan Kuasa Sdn Bhd, Klang Yew Huat Auto Parts Industries Sdn Bhd, Stuttgart Parts Centre Sdn Bhd, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, Kai Yuan Auto Parts Sdn Bhd dan Gee Hup Auto Supply Sdn Bhd.

ZF SSM telah Berjaya mengumpulkan sebanyak 18,855 kilogram alat ganti automotif dan mesin daripada peniaga alat ganti sekitar Lembah Klang. Hasil besi buruk tersebut yang berjumlah RM 9,428 telah digabungkan dengan sumbangan daripada kakitangan ZF SSM menjadi RM 10,000. Sumbangan itu kemudiannya dibahagikan antara membayar bil utiliti bagi rumah kebajikan dan membeli barangan keperluan rumah yang diminta oleh rumah tersebut seperti beg sampah, mee segera, susu, nasi, peralatan makanan dan troli makanan.
Selangor Family Aid Association, rumah kebajikan bagi orang-orang tua dan cacat, menjadi rumah bagi 85 penduduk keseluruhannya, terdiri daripada orang-orang tua dan cacat di antara umur 19 hingga 94 tahun. Rumah tersebut, yang bergantung kepada sumbangan kebajikan daripada masyarakat awam, dimulakan pada bulan Julai 1988. Sekarang ini, rumah tersebut masih lagi tidak mempunyai sumber pendapatan tetap.

“Bagi pihak penduduk dan pengurusan, saya berterima kasih kepada ZF SSM atas pertolongan mereka. Rumah kami ini seringkali terlepas pandang oleh penyumbang-penyumbang kerana permohonan kami bagi pengecualian cukai masih tidak berjaya. Sumbangan ini daripada ZF SSM sangatlah dihargai kerana ia akan membantu kami menyelesaikan keperluan harian kami seperti makanan dan bil utility,” kata Presiden Selangor Family Aid Association, Dato’ Seri Pusparajah Gunaratnam.

Meneruskan peranannya sebagai ahli korporat yang bertanggungjawab, ZF SSM bertekad memulakan kempen kemsyarakatan seperti ini, dua kali setahun, dengan tema-tema yang berbagai bagi memupuk semangat kemsyarakatan dalam kalangan pekerjanya. Program-program kemasyarakatan yang dianjurkan ZF SSM sebelum ini termasuklah lawatan ke Assunta Children Society pada 2012 dan bantuan kecemasan kepada mangsa banjir Kelantan pada 2015. ZF SSM juga terlibat dalam usaha berterusan untuk menolong komuniti terpinggir supaya mereka dapat menikmati makanan harian.

ZF SSM recently wrapped up a month-long automotive parts recycling charity programme, which combined both environmental and community components. The funds raised, amounting to RM10,000, was used to assist the Selangor Family Aid Association residents.

“Social responsibility is an integral part of ZF SSM’s corporate culture. To us, as a corporate citizen, it is our duty to contribute towards the well-being of the community. We are so humbled by this opportunity to make a difference, not only to the environment we live in, but also in the lives of the residents of the Selangor Family Aid Association,” said ZF SSM Managing Director, Mohd Syahrul Yusuf.

Launched in early October 2016, the recycling campaign is part of ZF SSM’s contribution to the community. The objective was to promote a greener environment by instilling the recycling habit within the automotive industry, particularly among spare part dealers. A total of nine spare part dealers came forward in full support to contribute their scrap metal for charity namely, YonMing Auto & Industrial Parts Sdn Bhd, Syarikat Selayang Muhibbah Sdn Bhd, Megamix Sdn Bhd, Rimbunan Kuasa Sdn Bhd, Klang Yew Huat Auto Parts Industries Sdn Bhd, Stuttgart Parts Centre Sdn Bhd, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, Kai Yuan Auto Parts Sdn Bhd and Gee Hup Auto Supply Sdn Bhd.

ZF SSM successfully collected a total of 18,855 kilograms in old automotive parts and machines from the spare part dealers around the Klang Valley. The resulting scrap value amounting to RM 9,428 was combined with contributions from ZF SSM staff for a final total amounting to RM10,000. The contributions were then divided between settling the charity home’s outstanding utility bills and purchasing essentials requested by the home such as garbage bags, instant noodles, milk, rice, disposable cutlery and a food trolley.

The Selangor Family Aid Association, a welfare home for the aged and handicapped, shelters a total of 85 residents comprising of the aged and handicapped between the ages of 19 and 94 years. The home, which depends on donated funds from the public, was established in July 1988. Currently, the home has no sustainable funding.

“On behalf of the residents and administration, I thank ZF SSM for their kind assistance. Our home is often overlooked by potential donors because our application for tax exempt status
was unsuccessful. This contribution from ZF SSM is most appreciated as it helps us to cover our everyday basic necessities like food and utility bills,” said Selangor Family Aid Association
President, Dato’ Seri Pusparajah Gunaratnam. Continuing its role as a responsible corporate citizen, ZF SSM is determined to embark on biannual outreach campaigns with varying themes to instil a strong sense of community among its employees. Some of the past outreach programmes organised by ZF SSM included a visit to the Assunta Children Society in 2012 and relief efforts for the Kelantan flood victims in 2015. ZF SSM is also involved in ongoing efforts to help marginalised communities enjoy sustained daily meals.

为履行企业社会责任，德国采埃孚集团大马销售及服务有限公司（ZF SSM） 特别举办回收活动，为 为慈善之家筹募基金。

在完成了长达一 个月的汽车零件回收慈善计划后，该公司举办这项融合环境保护和社区关怀的 活动，并将所筹获的一万零吉募款移交予雪兰莪家庭援助中心(Selangor Family Aid Association)，以协助当地需要援助的居民。

 ZF SSM 董事经理莫莎鲁尤索夫 表示：“社会责任是 ZF SSM 企业文化的一部分。我们作为企业公民，有责任为社会的福祉作出贡献。 我们非常感谢有这个机会不仅是为环境出一份力，也为雪兰莪家庭援助 中心的居民改善生活。” 
 
这项慈善回收废金 属运动是从 2016 年 10 月初开跑，该公司举办此活动目的旨在向汽车业者，尤其是零件经销商们灌输回收利 用及环境保护的理念，并获得国内9 家零件经销商全力支持。这包括洋珉零件有限公司、诚合零件有限公司、友发 汽车机件及工业有限公司、东风商业车（马来西 亚）有限公司、 开源汽车零件有限公司及义合汽车 供应有限公司。  在这期间，有关回收计划成功从巴生谷地区的零件经销商处回收了多达 1万8,855 公斤的 汽车旧零件和机器。

通过回收废金属所获得 约9,428零吉加上 ZF SSM 职员的捐献，该公司将整数为1万令吉的款项移交于雪兰莪家庭援助中心。这笔款项 分配为两种用途，即解决该中心的水电费，和购买必需品，如， 垃圾袋、 快熟面、牛奶、米、一次性餐具和食品手推车。 

为此，雪兰莪家庭援助中心主席拿督斯里普斯巴拉加也代表当地居民和管理层感谢 ZF SSM 的慷慨帮助。“我们的中心常常 被潜在的捐赠者忽视，因为我们申请不到免税团体地位。我非常感谢 ZF SSM 的捐款，它帮助我们添购日常必需品，如食品和缴付水电费。 ” 

雪兰莪家庭援助中心成立于1988年，是一家老年人和残疾人士福利院，目前共收容了 85 位 年龄介于 19 至 94 岁的老年人和残疾人士。

在这网络科技及电子商务日渐发达的年代，人们几乎可只需通过网购便可轻松购买到任何商品，就连生鲜农产品也不例外。如今人们网上订购生鲜农产品已成为电子商务的另一个发展契机， 惟这种消费习惯也对物流领域业者带来了全新挑战。

为进一步了解物流业者在运输鲜活商品过程中所面临的挑战，我们在本月特别访问了数名专门处理这类特殊商品的物流业者，包括一些运输活鸡的货车司机。

 尽管大马气候炎热是众所周知的事，惟对于从事活鸡等鲜活商品运输工作的货车司机而言，如何应对这燥热的天气却是一项极大挑战。

从7年前起，《Asian Trucker》本月货车司机希华先生 （31岁）便开始从事处理鲜活商品的运输行业，并在每日运输高达3300只活鸡。

然而，作为一名运输鲜活商品的货车司机，希华的工作时段是不稳定的，这一般需看情况及条件而定。

希华表示，在出发把鲜活的鸡只运输到全马各地客户之前，他每日工作的第一项任务就是在傍晚时段从农场把这些活生生的鸡带到货车上。

“这一般是在傍晚进行。因为一旦天气过于炎热，我们所运输的活鸡就会因无法忍受高温而死去。因此，我们会给他们喷射适量水分，以确保他们身体保持湿润。

“在这之后，夜晚就是我们出发，展开漫长运输行程的最佳时段了。”

希华坦言，由于他在早上和夜间都需驾驶，因此对他而言，除了需在驾驶路途中保持专注，以确保其行驶安全以外，如何保持个人身体健康更是一项不容忽视的事项。

他透露，保持健康的运动习惯对他来说非常关键，如在休假期间，他便会与隔壁邻居一起组队踢足球，这也是他在结束疲劳的工作后重新“充电”的良方。

“在夜间驾驶期间，我并没有面对任何视力上的问题。当然我有时还是会觉得昏昏欲睡，但是每当面对这种情况，我就会把车停在路旁小歇一会，而不是强迫自己继续驾驶。

“此外，在驾驶途中，为了确保我维持清醒，我的助理里阿纳先生也会经常与我聊天，这做法还蛮管用的。”

“我并没有选择这份工作，而是这份工作选择了我，但我并不觉得这有什么不妥，因为我能够周游全马各地，我的工作时间更是充满弹性，如若我想休息，这事很容易…同时，我不喜欢过穿西装和打领带的日子，在从事这份工作，我能够赚取足够的收入养家，最重要的是，我享受我目前所做的事。”

新加坡斯堪尼亚 (Scania Singapore) 首度向客户供应符合Euro 6低排放标准的卡车予新加坡宏发物流及工程公司。

在迎来新时代的发展趋势下，宏发物流及工程作为一家目前正迈向未来前进、同时为长期支持斯堪尼亚的客户，该公司引进如今有关卡车，实际上乃是为了兑现一项承诺，即对环境提供可续性的交通解决方案。 

宏发公司在新加坡当地是一家以家族控制模式运作的企业，主要经营与建筑领域相关贸易，该公司专于在折臂起重机等重型卡车设施安装方工程，同时其也是负责新加坡乌节路以及市中心商业区域一带工业领域企业多项工程的公司。

作为一家在对投入持续性环境及环保关注工作拥有多年历史的公司，斯堪尼亚是首家自2011年3月起就推出其卡车引擎是符合Euro 6燃油排放标准的欧洲卡车制造商，并持续了此技术至今。

随着斯堪尼亚如今把此技术首度引进新加坡，这甚至比新加坡国家环境局早前公布的新条规，即于2018年1月1日起，该国将落实企业公司所有商用车辆必须符合Euro 6排放标准的政策来得更早，这么是值得赞赏的。

该项技术非但是能够协助达到绿化及环保目标的交通方案，同时它更是协助企业公司能够在其所投资获得真正价值的方案。这是因为，拥有这符合Euro6排放标准的引擎系统，斯堪尼亚所推出的相关系列卡车是能够向客户承诺更优质服务的选项，这尤其是在其卡车驱动力、低速巡航以及节能方面，其性能也更良好

。至于人们重新诠释何谓符合Euro 6排放标准一事，相比起Euro 5排放标准，有关车辆引擎将能降低氮氧化物 （Nitrogen Oxide）排放量高达80%、减少颗粒物质排放量达50%，对新加坡民众及环境环保带来更佳效应。

斯堪尼亚马来西亚及新加坡区域总裁马克卡梅伦表示，如今斯堪尼亚把首度把符合Euro 6 排放标准的卡车引进新加坡，为当地客户及环保实施方面创下新的里程碑。

他说：“我们是第一和唯一在打造持续性交通方案一事上，提供解决方案的供应商，以确人们通过这无论是在商业方面还是环保方面兼可行的策略，来把环境污染等问题和效应降至最低。我们也十分乐意与各领域客户合作，为他们量身定做合适的产品以及提供针对其企业所需的配套服务，这将确保这些公司无论是在驾驶营运费用、提高生产力以及其司机安全和舒适方面，都享有更优质的服务。”

随着我们于去年所举办的首场保龄球比赛获非常鼓舞的响应，亚洲货车司机同业协会决定再度举办第二届保龄球赛。提到运动项目，本协会旗下的货车司机都非常兴奋，因此本会希望借此机会，让这场保龄球比赛成为一个凝聚区域内各界货车司机，以便能为他们提一个能够从活动中相互学习及知识分享的交流平台，进而促进行内业者之间的合作交流。

比赛期间，Asian Trucker 杂志也将协助本会旗下的会员及司机业者进一步了解并签署由大马NITTSU运输服务有限公司所赞助的司机网络培训。这项培训旨在提升我国道路安全，同时这也将作为一个重新评估及训练货车司机，协助提供其警惕意识的主要平台。

本届保龄球比赛将在莎阿南Ole-Ole购物商场举行，届时参赛者将分为6大组合，即每组为3名成员，各组合将会与其他不同团队一较高下，赢取由亚洲货车司机协会所颁发的特别奖座。在比赛进行3个回合后，在比赛中获得较低分的组合将会逐步被淘汰，持续并在最终环节胜出的组合将会赢得奖座。

去年保龄球赛得奖组合:
冠军: Azizan, Faizal, Ana
亚军：Zana Firdaus, Roslan, Shamsani
季军：Afandy, Syahrizal, Noor Umor

“作为一名货车司机，你鲜少有机会与朋友会面或出外游玩，因为大部分时间，你都是在路上驾驶。因此，这活动确实是一个让同行朋友聚集和了解彼此近况的好时机。”
—Roslan, 货车司机兼亚洲货车司机同业协会成员

“在漫长的工作结束后，参与运动确实是一项有效治疗疲劳的良方。我们货车司机们必须经常举办这种活动。此外，我们的协会成员不只局限于司机业者，同时我们也是公开欢迎任何有意协助推广货车运输领域的业者参与的。”—Mohamad Noor, 货车司机。
