Nice pick up Brian.
I think, this is where I was traveling when we ran into each other at Qantas security.
This is our company demo unit, and I spent 2 days in Shepparton with this family run fleet.
A lovely family, and a great business.
FYI,
This is the third time I’ve de,I’ve red it, and trained waste fleets, we just rewrap it, check it over, and send her out again.
Previous to this trial, I delivered it into Veolia in Canberra.

Mercedes Benz has finally unveiled their BEV heavy duty trucks to the world with a big roadshow.
It will be interesting to see how they go, how far they can go & what sort of payloads they can carry.
Watch this space.
Their approach to the look of the truck is 180 degrees to ours. Volvo wanted the truck to look like a truck.
This one seems to want to look like a Tesla. Interior seems very "ordinary" and truck like.
The only issue I see is there cup holders are European. The Volvo is the same, totaly useless LOL.
