Lindsay Fox hosts regional heavy vehicle showcase


Lindsay Fox AC, founder of Linfox, hosted representatives of APEC, government and transport industry representatives at the Linfox-owned Australian Automotive Research Centre at Angelsea, Victoria.
 
Mr Fox said: “The event showcases the latest safety and environmental technologies available to the heavy vehicle industry.”
 
The event is part of this week’s meetings of visiting APEC transport ministers and officials from Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, New Zealand and members of the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC).
 
Discussions on the ministers’ agenda include sharing insights into challenges around road transport logistics and safety.
 
The showcase was the brainchild of Mr Fox in his capacity as one of three Australian delegates to ABAC. Mr Fox leads an ABAC project seeking to deliver greater engagement between APEC economies on transport reform. The project identifies practical and regulatory hurdles to improve the flow of goods between economies and encourage the fast tracking of new and emerging safety and environmental technologies for heavy vehicles.
 
Mr Fox said: “Today’s event showcased emergency braking system simulations, hybrid heavy vehicle technologies, lane departure warning system simulations and real-time operation of GPS tracking systems such as FoxTrax, Linfox’s own national vehicle monitoring system.
 
“Linfox has long embraced the use of new and emerging technologies for heavy vehicles.
 
“The next stage in the battle against vehicle accidents can only be won with the use and adaptation of these technologies, both locally and across the Asia Pacific.”
 
Mr Fox also sees hybrid technology as a major breakthrough for the heavy vehicle sector. “Linfox has already made significant reductions in its rate of greenhouse gas emissions, with a cut of 28% since 2007.
 
“Today’s showcase recognises the actions by Australian industry and jurisdictions in embracing new and emerging heavy vehicle technologies. We must collectively encourage and support our neighbouring countries in further examining these technologies and delivering safer and better environmental outcomes for their economies,” Mr Fox said.
