Truck Industry Council chief executive Tony McMullan says “It is pleasing to see that the 2007 heavy vehicle sales record has finally fallen” but owners and operators need to keep upgrading to newer safer trucks.
“However, in the eleven years since that benchmark was set, we have witnessed the age of the Australian truck fleet steadily grow older, from 14.4 years in 2007 to 15 years average age in 2017,” he explains.
“As the nation’s freight task continues to grow year-on-year, fleet replacement has not kept pace with this growth,” McMullan says.
