ATA Chief Executive Stuart St Clair said his nine-day tour promotional tour around Australia with a recently donated CIMC trailer was “a great success”.
St Clair had driven the trailer through Warrnambool, Mount Gambier, Adelaide, Loxton, Mildura, Castlemaine and Wagga Wagga to showcase the vehicle and meet with local operators in the area.
“There was great interest in both the trailer and the technology incorporated in it,” St Clair said. “We feel there will be some keen bidding for the trailer before the tender closes at the Brisbane Truck Show this May.
“The operator meetings across the southern portion of Australia were excellent – it was great to meet up and listen to some of the concerns of the trucking industry through these areas.
“I’d like to thank Bob and Sharon Middleton of Whiteline Transport, who opened up their Adelaide depot to hold a breakfast meeting in their ‘toy shed’. I’d also like to thank SARTA for promoting the Adelaide meeting and the trailer tender in their newsletters.”
The trailer was donated to the ATA by CIMC Vehicle Australia, Marshall Lethlean Industries and a large number of OEM suppliers.
Bids for the trailer close on 19 May 2013. The successful bidder will also be hosted at the ATA’s national event, Trucking Australia 2013, to be held in June on Hamilton Island.
