Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia (HVIA) Chief Executive Brett Wright said the association is looking forward to welcoming visitors from around Australia and across the globe, to the 50-year anniversary 2017 Brisbane Truck Show.
The event is set to be held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre (BCEC) from Thursday, May 25 to Sunday, May 28 and Mr Wright said he all guests have an exciting, successful and enjoyable stay.
Recently awarded the world’s best convention centre, BCEC is ready to welcome over 35,000 people for a jam-packed four-day event, spread over the centre’s three levels.
The biennial Brisbane Truck Show is organised by HVIA, the national association representing and advancing the interests of manufacturers and suppliers of heavy vehicles and their components, equipment and technology.
Mr Wright said the major milestone is a great reflection on the innovation and resilience of the Australian heavy vehicle industry.
“The show has come a long way from its humble beginnings when twenty-one truck, trailer and component manufacturers and suppliers came together at Haulmark Trailers’ premises in Rocklea in 1968,” he said.
“The 2017 Brisbane Truck Show is the fourth that will be held at BCEC, and features close to 300 exhibitors displaying the latest trucks, trailers, components, equipment, accessories and technology.”
Mr Wright invited visitors to explore and enjoy the new features and improvements for the 2017 show.
“Our focus is always on making the event a great experience for visitors and exhibitors.
“The improvements we’ve made for the 2017 Brisbane Truck Show range from online ticketing to the exhibition layout.
“As part of the celebration, we’ve developed the Heavy Vehicle Industry Innovation Centre with displays showcasing research and development success stories, and connecting businesses with support programs and services.”
The all new Brisbane Truck Show Awards celebrate Australia’s heavy vehicle industry by highlighting the latest innovations design, engineering, and manufacturing achievements.
“Amongst the contenders there are many already well-known, if not iconic, brands.
“Then there are many others who have quietly been creating ground-breaking products, technology and services that are changing the way the transport industry does business.”
HVIA’s Industry Career Centre, is a “one-stop shop” for students and job seekers to talk to the experts about the apprentice system, government assistance, training delivery and training content.
The popular Apprentice Challenge is now a truly national event with competitors representing each of the HVIA regions across the breadth of Australia.
The regional teams work simultaneously, on identical trucks, generously supplied by Fuso Australia, to identify and rectify a series of programmed faults as the clock ticks.
“There’s something for everyone. We hope you’ll join us at the 2017 Brisbane Truck Show, Australia’s premier transport event, run by industry for industry.”
