* China - Truck makers pin hopes on urbanization amid slump

(Photo from China Daily: Foton performs well in heavy-duty trucks despite a slowing growth in the market) 
Beijing,China -Ecn/China Daily, by Qindexing -11 Nov 2013: -- Industry analysts say prospects for Chinese truck manufacturers overseas still look grim because of high barriers to entry in mature markets like Europe and the United States coupled with a saturation of Chinese brands in traditional export destinations like the Middle East and South Africa... But these truck makers have found a silver lining in China's latest efforts to push forward urbanization... Heavy-duty trucks are always needed at the growing number of construction sites around the nation. People from the countryside in central and western China are expected to swarm into small cities, creating a large demand for infrastructure and the tools to build it... Figures from China's National Bureau of Statistics show that the nation's urban population increased by 12 percent between 2002 and 2011. It is now increasing by 20 million every year, according to the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development... According to China ministry's institute on industrial research, heavy-duty truck deliveries grew by 12 percent year on year during the first eight months to 503,100... Beiqi Foton Motor Co, the largest commercial vehicle manufacturer in China by sales, is among those eager to capitalize on this opportunity. During the first eight months, Foton sold 73,900 heavy trucks, up 27 percent from a year ago...

* India - Ashok Leyland announces voluntary retirement scheme

(Photo) 
Chennai,India -The Times of India -Nov 9, 2013: -- Stung by continuous fall in sales and with recovery in the sector looking distant, India's second largest truck maker by volume and Hinduja Group flagship Ashok Leyland on Friday announced a voluntary retirement scheme  for its executives. The financial contours or implications were not disclosed... Truck makers in India are in the tweezer grip of poor economic growth impacting sales coupled with historic high discounts, which is denting profitability. For the quarter ended September 2013, Ashok Leyland said it incurred an operational loss of Rs 135 crore. Sales volume declined 23%, which was driven by a 25% drop in medium and heavy commercial vehicles volumes while light commercial vehicles declined by 17% year-on-year... A company spokesperson clarified that the severance package was only for executives of the company and not for workmen in the factory shop floor. Ashok Leyland employs nearly 4,500 executives across its offices in India...

TRUCKS SAFETY * USA

* Study of on-board safety systems admittedly skewed toward larger carriers

(Photo) 
Green Valley,MO,USA -Land Line, by David Tanner -5 Nov 2013: -- A study, Onboard Safety Systems Effectiveness Evaluation Final Report, a document that accompanies an October 2013 technology brief issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, measuring the effectiveness of roll stability control and lane-departure warning systems for trucks is admittedly “skewed toward larger, for-hire carriers” and does not represent the small-business component of the trucking industry, the study authors say. OOIDA commends the authors for their honesty, and believes on-board safety systems should be a choice, not a mandate... The study compared trucks that have on-board safety systems with trucks that do not have on-board safety systems. Adding in available data on crashes, the analysis indicated a “strong positive safety benefit” for lane departure warning systems and roll stability control... OOIDA says the decision to employ such technology should be up to those who own the trucks as opposed to a government mandate... Areas of concern in the report, according to OOIDA, are the lack of focus on the overall crashworthiness of truck cabs, and the fact that it does not address issues of entry-level driver training...

AUTOS RECALL * USA - Hyundai's

* California - 2009-2012 Hyundai Genesis recalled for braking problem, 43,500 vehicles affected

Orange County,CAL, USA -The Car Connection, by Richard Read -Nov 5, 2013: -- Brake problems seem to be going around... Hyundai has jumped on the braking bandwagon with a recall for 2009-2012 models of the Hyundai Genesis. The action affects 43,500 vehicles manufactured over a nearly four-year period, from April 30, 2008 to March 28, 2012... The recall stems from a problem with the brake fluid found in the Genesis' Hydraulic Electronic Control Unit, or HECU. Such fluid ordinarily protects the HECU from corrosion, but according to a bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, that's not the case in the Hyundai Genesis. As a result, the HECU can corrode, and if that happens, the Genesis' brakes may not work well -- if they work at all. And that, of course, spells trouble for drivers...

Paris,France -Truck and Business (Belgium), by Hendrik Despiegelaere -31 Oct 2013: -- The new T range of Renault Trucks has surprised almost everyone from the first meters. This is not the Premium and Magnum trucks were bad, but their successors set the bar much higher in all areas... Renault Trucks has not botched the development of its new ranges. More than seven years of testing, EUR 2 billion invested 5 million hours to the test, 10 million kilometers of testing, 300 test vehicles distributed among 50 clients, it is not nothing... Expectations were therefore strong and static display was not allowed to answer any questions. Including the following: how the new Renault would they behave on the road? The answer is now clear: after a first taken in hand, everyone is impressed and that although we all rolled into other novelties are the Mercedes-Benz Actros and Volvo FH have. It's range can compete with any competitor. If the price positioning of Renault is favorable, the new range can truly make him take a step forward. And let's be clear: a T is a genuine Renault on the cabin layout and equipment...

* California - Toyota on track to match Chevy, Ram light pickup truck sales

Irvine,CAL,USA -Torque News, by JOHN GOREHAM -4 Nov 2013: -- Toyota has already passed GMC in pickup truck sales. Now, very quietly, Toyota's sales are growing rapidly, while Chevy's are dropping by double digits. It may not be long before Toyota is tied for number two in all but HD pickup sales... Toyota has very quietly become tied for third largest light pickup truck maker in the US. General Motors told Motortrend magazine in September that fully 25 percent of its trucks are HD (Heavy Duty) models. That means that the number of non-HD trucks sold by GMC in October was about 10, 080 trucks. If we exclude Heavy Duty models, Toyota’s Tundra model alone is dead even with the GMC Sierra. In total light trucks, including the Toyota Tundra and Tacoma, Toyota has now passed GMC by a wide margin...

* Sinkiang - 8 leggers from China

Uigur,Sinkiang,China -Johns' reports, for Biglorryblog (UK) ... says John: "On a recent trip to China I therefore took the opportunity to photograph a few... As might be expected, many are tippers used for heavy loads like coal, minerals, aggregate, like the one above and these:
Most lorries have their gross permitted weight stencilled on the side of the cab and the maximum for eight-leggers appears to be 31 tonnes, as indicated on the Iveco-based lorry above:
I’m not sure that a weighbridge ticket would always confirm that the rules have been applied! So far as I could tell, this rig was being used to carry coal:
Melons can also weigh quite a bit. This FAW was unloading at Kashgar’s equivalent of the old Covent Garden:
This side tipper still shows its Steyr antecedents:
Other eight-legger outfits commonly seen include tankers:
Finally here are a couple of Dong Feng 8 x 2’s with lifting pusher axle:

Other vehicle types were cement mixers, though most were six-wheelers and I got no pictures. Also to be seen were livestock vehicles, particularly triple deckers for sheep, but again I got no pictures..."

(Photo: TruckTopFit) 
Stuttgart,Germany -AutoNet -Oct 31, 2013: -- Life in a semi-trailer cab isn’t exactly a home away from home and it’s contributing to a shortage of transport drivers. It’s not a problem particular to North America, it’s also a problem in Germany and Mercedes-Benz has been working on it... A study called the TopFit Truck project is aimed at enhancing the health and fitness of drivers and boosting trucking as a career. It makes drivers the focus of research and development... The study, ongoing since 2006, shows sleeping in a truck is adversely affected by truck stop traffic noise which hampers drivers’ fitness, making them susceptible to attention deficits and “microsleep.” Accident risk increases along with vehicle wear and fuel consumption... Besides impaired sleep, the monotony of driving long distances puts strain on the body and impairs brain performance... The study looked at measures such as power naps, aromatherapy, massage and auditory stimuli to boost brain performance... The next step was to incorporate innovations in a tractor unit. In 2009, a truck was fitted with new measures including power massage seat that could be positioned for a power nap. There was also a system for dispersing relaxing or refreshing fragrances as well as a music computer programmed to calm or vitalize the driver...
