Research and Transformation Interests Road Transport Management S ystem (RTMS ) Creating sustainable operations transformation toward low CO 2 emissions S mart Transport Transformation Advocacy (influencing the influencers) Building collaborative networks (KZN Heavy Vehicle Innovation Incubator) RTMS -in-a-Box EcoWarrior eFridge Kinetic Energy Recovery S ystem
Automotive Manufacturing in S outh Africa Rosslyn/ Pretoria • Nissan • Ford • BMW Durban • Toyota Eastern Cape • Mercedes • VW
Typical Car Carrier Configurations 6 car carrier (S emi trailer) 9 car carrier (rigid-drawbar)
Car Carrier Challenges • Increasing competition • Pressure for lower rates • Rising costs • Labour demands • Manufacturers “ commoditising” freight • Environmental concerns?
Early interventions Road Transport Management S ystem (RTMS ) Vehicle specification Trailer redesign Electric Trailer HCV car carrier Electric car carrier for last mile
Results of the Relaxation 18.5/ 19.0 m to 18.5/ 19.5m H 4.6m 22.0/ 22.5 m to 22.0/ 23.0m x H 4.6m
Car Carrier Optimisation S trategies Extended asset lifespan Operations Management Optimization Vehicle S pecification Improvement Fleet Management Choices New Asset classes (PBS and HCVs)
Car Carriers V3.0 How do we radically alter the Car Carrier landscape Is there opportunity for significant CO 2 emissions reduction with significant ROI.
Piggy Back return leg 50% Reduction in number of carriers on the road on return leg • Reduces congestion, CO 2 emissions, CPK • (Capex is huuuge)

Experiments in social sciences suggest that: Tasks with high manual labour and low cognitive complexity, money can motivate Tasks with complex cognitive function, money can be a disincentive! Intrinsic motivation requires Autonomy, Mastery, and Purpose (Candle experiment of Daniel Pink, author of Drive-The surprising truth about what motivates us)
