Truck Industry Council Gets Behind Safety Drive Day

MELBOURNE – December 2, 2010: Freight 2011 is pleased to announce that the Truck Industry Council (TIC) has thrown its full support behind the Freight 2011 Safety Drive Day on the 4th March at Sandown Racecourse in Melbourne, coming on board as an official supporter and endorsing the event to its members.

The TIC, formed in 2001, is an independent organisation representing all current manufacturers and importers of on-road trucks to the Australian market. Its associate membership includes diesel engine suppliers and major component suppliers. The TIC presents the collective views of its member companies to Governments at all levels, political parties, other industry groups and the general public.

The TIC has also confirmed it will hold its quarterly board meeting during the Safety Drive Day event and treat delegates to a presentation on key industry issues.

The Safety Drive Day will showcase many of the new technologies and innovations focused on making our vehicles safer, quieter, more productive and far more fuel efficient.

Delegates will be given the opportunity to get behind the wheel of some of the most desired heavy vehicles and passenger cars on the reputable Sandown Racetrack as well as be treated to an exhibition of working indoor and outdoor displays along with informative panel discussions, where industry experts and key decision makers will discuss the hot industry topics.

This event will provide a unique networking opportunity for attendees with government officials, major fleet key decision makers, OEM manufacturers and premium industry suppliers all in attendance.
