  • "Il y a peu de risques que la crise boursière affecte le marché européen du poids lourd"
    Même si la crise sur les marchés boursiers américain et européen, et celle en Asie, en Amérique latine et en Russie sont inquiétants, cela ne devrait pas avoir un impact très important sur le marché européen du camion. Celui-ci est influencé par une dynamique favorable. C'est ce que nous a déclaré dans une interview exclusive Leif Östling, président du constructeur suédois de poids-lourds Scania. Autres points forts de cet entretien: l'évolution de la demande sur le marché du transport ne l'oblige pas à proposer également des véhicules légers et mi-lourds; et une acquisition pour pénétrer le marché américain n'est pas à l'étude... ni exclue.
  • ShortLines et HGK soulignent le manque de capacité du réseau ferroviaire néerlandais
    Jusqu'à ce que la ligne de la Betuwe sera opérationnelle en 2005, le réseau ferroviaire néerlandais sera confronté à un manque croissant de capacité entre la zone portuaire de Rotterdam et l'Allemagne. C'est ce qu'a déclaré le directeur de Railned Paul Ranke (le gestionnaire de l'infrastructure ferroviaire) lors de l'inauguration officielle du Born-Shuttle de l'entreprise ferroviaire rotterdamoise ShortLines et de Hafen und Güterverkehr Koln (HGK) sur le Rail Terminal Born.
  • Paccar va probablement utiliser des cabines DAF aux Etats-Unis
    Les possibilités de synergies entre les divisions européennes (DAF/Foden/Leyland Trucks) et américaines (Kenworth et Peterbilt) du groupe Paccar sont plus importantes que prévu. Ainsi, la cabine des DAF 95XF sera plus que probablement montée sur des véhicules Paccar aux Etats-Unis, au Mexique, au Canada et ou/en Australie. Ces cabines seront fabriquées à Westerlo et l'envoi des premières unités pour les essais et les homologations dépendra surtout des possibilités de cette usine au niveau de la capacité (voir ailleurs dans nos pages). C'est ce que nous a déclaré Martien de Louw, administrateur de DAF responsable du développement des produits, à l'occasion de l'IAA à Hanovre.
  • Unilog: train direct Muizen- Manchester

  • ARTC rates 'lack incentives'
    Freight train operators on the east-west corridor have greeted the Australian Rail Track Corporation's new rate structure for intestate track access with some dissension, arguing that the revamped rating structure lacks the necessary incentives for rail operators to grow their business.
    As seen in DCN on Tuesday, the ARTC has released its first set of access rates for the Victorian and South Australian sections of the interstate network. Under the proposal, all existing operators -- except one -- would receive a small cut in overall "real term" access rates.
    The ARTC also proposes to introduce a small surcharge for operators who operate longer trains to cover the cost of building crossing loops.
  • QR tilts in EDI's direction
    The Queensland Labor government yesterday announced that Queensland Rail has signed an agreement to build a high-speed tilt train between Brisbane and Cairns.
    Transport Minister Steve Bredhauer, who promised during the recent state election campaign to extend the proposed Brisbane to Rockhampton tilt train on to Cairns, said the project would cost $122 million.
    Mr Bredhauer announced that Evans Deakin subsidiary Walkers Limited would build two 10-car diesel tilt trains for the service. The construction of these tourist trains, capable of travelling at speeds of up to 160km/h, is expected to cut travel time between Brisbane and Cairns by at least 25 per cent to around 20 hours.
  • AMSA bans part-loaded bulker
    The Australian Maritime Safety Authority has banned further loading of the Cape-size bulker Kiho at Dampier pending assurances from the vessel's classification society, NK, that the ship is seaworthy.
    The order follows AMSA's second detention of the St Vincent & Grenadines-flagged vessel in just over a month, and comes after extensive consultation between authority officers and NK at the weekend over the structural deficiencies which resulted in the Kiho's detention on 26 August.
    AMSA's general manager Ship and Personnel Safety, Patrick Quirk, told DCN it was unacceptable that a ship which was detained in Australia at the end of July should again be detained five weeks later with only some of her structural defects rectified.
  • WA, NSW access yet to be finalised
    Australian Rail Track Corporation's new chief executive David Marchant signalled this week that the ARTC was still some time away from signing final agreements with access providers in NSW and Western Australia.
    The Adelaide-based ARTC, which has been promoted by the federal government as a one-stop-shop for operators seeking access to the interstate network, owns and manages sections of commonwealth-owned interstate rail track in Victoria and South Australia.
    While the ARTC now controls interstate operations from Albury through to Kalgoorlie and Alice Springs, it is yet to bed down agreements which will allow it to sell access to operators over other parts of the standard gauge network in NSW and WA on behalf of track owners in these states.
