We're back with a transport business in the Wider View this month. One of the country's oldest, in fact. Chris Carr is generation five and managing director of his family's buisiness Car & Haslam, now 162 years in the game. The business has already traded through an energy transition and any number of wars, so he's the man for the month without question. Any time you have the pleasure and priviledge of Chris's company, it's always a case of buckle up, becuse this is going to be fun!

In the OEM update, we talk with a broad cross section of original equipment suppliers to the New Zealand industry.
We sit for a chat with general manager for UD Trucks New Zealand Zane Erwee. UD's new mid-range Condor arrives here this month, opening up a new market segment for the company. We chat about the product, the opportunity, preparation, and the legacy.

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.

In the first of our semi regualr Powering On series we're calling TR Tomorrrow, we catch up with TR Group's energy and emissions reduction lead Scott Donnelly, to chat about the myriad of things on the go in the business.
