Clear the Air is the section where co-host Dave McCoid and his good mate and Environmental champion Lindsay Wood discuss the climate and envirionmental issues of the day, as they should be discussed - respectfully!

We need to find out more about the new world heading our way. Powering On talks to people in the know and those who have already headed off on a new propulsion journey. We aim to make it not too techy, delivering useful information for those who will still be responsible for delivering our new tomorrow.

In the OEM update, we talk with a broad cross section of original equipment suppliers to the New Zealand industry.

Welcome to the first vocational podcast of 2026, and our first-ever international vocational podcast. Joining me on this episode is Tim Giles. He's a name many of you will recognise as my co-judge in the Truck of the Year Australasia (ToYA) competition, and the former editor of Diesel / Power Torque magazine in Australia. Since retiring last year, Tim's enjoying the freelance journo lifestyle, that includes a regular gig as Technical editor at Power Torque magazine. We're incredibly lucky to have him writing regualr content for us.

The intellectual might of New Zealand Trucking Media brings all they have to the table in a post-workday chat at their local. Sometimes they convince some poor unfortunate soul to join them. The result is more often than not ….. concerning.

The Wider View 

For the Christmas show, it's our second international guest and our second former butcher would you believe. Graeme 'Sharpie' Sharp is the group sales manager at Royans Transport Accident Repairs, one of the road transport service industry's true characters, and most respected figures. 'Sharpie' recently celebrated 35 years service with the Aussie icon.

In the OEM update, we talk with a broad cross section of original equipment suppliers to the New Zealand industry. This month we talk to director at Straitline Canvas Patrick Currie and get all the gloss about what's new in their business...and yes, we meant 'gloss'!

We aim to make it not too techy, delivering useful information for those who will still be responsible for delivering our new tomorrow. This month... It's no use chasing emissions and carbon if we don't think about tyres, because they're not going anywhere – our trucks and trailers will need tyres for the foreseeable future. What to do with spent tyres has been a huge problem...until Tyrewise. We caught up with 3R Group CEO Adele Rose recently to see how the Tyrewise programme is tracking just over a year in. 

Clear the Air is the section where co-host Dave McCoid and his good mate and environmental champion Lindsay Wood discuss the climate and environmental issues of the day, as they should be discussed - respectfully! This month, the importance of a Plan B to your Plan A. We're heading into a world where we're going to need options when Plan A is looking like not it's not going to work.

On Schedule is the series where Dave McCoid, editorial director at New Zealand Trucking Media, speaks with the National Road Carriers senior team and guests on a broad selection of topical industry subjects as well as the work the association does – the wins, the challenges, and the strategies taken on key issues of the day. An end-of-year special we hope will become an anual event – the member Q&A. We've asked for questions, you've responded, here's the answers!

It's a fascinating yarn on opportunity, progress and the reality of real-world experience in the alternative propulsion space.
