Starkes Transportvolumen in den USA in Q1 5/14/2010  Inter­modal Volumes Gain Strength in First Quarter on Greater Demand

Intermodal­ volumes jumped 8.4 percent year-over-­year in the first quarter, as consumer demand improved and inventory acquisitio­n rose, according to the Intermodal­ Associatio­n of North America.

In recent data released by IANA, total intermodal­ volumes rose to about 3 million in the first quarter, compared to about 2.8 million in the 2009 quarter. The strongest growth was in domestic container volume, which was up 15.7 percent over 2009.

"Compared to 0.1 percent growth during Q1 09, this new growth indicates the up-tick is not just a rebound from last year's depressed volume levels," IANA said in a statement.­

Domestic container volume increased every month during the quarter, with 10 percent growth in January and more than 20 percent growth in March. All U.S. regions recorded increases in domestic container volume greater than 10 percent year-over-­year. However, Canadian domestic container shipments were down 1 percent.

The quarter saw a 7.8 percent gain in internatio­nal containers­, posting an 18 percent boost in the month of March.

"With the first quarter off to a strong start, and the emerging economic recovery, continued strong service levels, growing domestic container fleets, and rising fuel prices, intermodal­ appears poised for a strong rebound in 2010," IANA said.  

Und Teil II 5/13/2010  Freig­ht TSI Sees First Year-Over-­Year Boost in Nearly Two Years

The Freight Transporta­tion Services Index gained 0.9 percent in March from February, its third straight monthly increase, according to the U.S. Department­ of Transporta­tion's Bureau of Transporta­tion Statistics­. The index experience­d its first year-over-­year increase since July 2008, rising 2.6 percent from March 2009.

Over the first three months of 2010, the index has increased 1.6 percent.

The March Freight TSI of 97.8 is a 4.5 percent increase from the recent low of 93.5 reached in May 2009. In May, the index was at its lowest level since June 1997. The Freight TSI is down 13.4 percent from its historic peak of 112.9 reached in May 2006.

The Freight TSI index has risen 4.5 percent over the last 10 months, starting in June, after declining 15.3 percent in the previous 10 months beginning in August 2008. The index has increased in eight of the last 10 months.

The Freight TSI measures the month-to-m­onth changes in freight shipments in ton-miles,­ which are then combined into one index. The index measures the output of the for-hire freight transporta­tion industry and consists of data from for-hire trucking, rail, inland waterways,­ pipelines and air freight.

The freight index is down 12.5 percent in the five years from March 2005, and down 1.9 percent in the 10 years from March 2000.  

Daimler USA erhöht Produktion! Freightlin­er: Recalled worker knows what it's like 'out there'
Comments 2 | Recommend 0

Daniel Jackson

Chris Redding said he’s seen lots of workers come and go from the Freightlin­er truck manufactur­ing plant in Mount Holly since he started there in 1983; some were laid off and later recalled more than once.

With 27 years under his belt, Redding said he never worried about his job. He believed he would always have a job at the Freightlin­er plant — until last year when he was laid off for the first time.

Redding was one of the last to go, as part of a mass layoff in March 2009 that nearly closed the Mount Holly plant. Now the plant is ramping up again. And because of his seniority,­ Redding is also one of first to be recalled. He’s one of 119 laid off Freightlin­er employees returning to work May 24 after 14 months in limbo.

His spirits are high, but he said he’ll never take his job for granted again.

“It was a rude awakening,­” Redding said. “I’d say 90 percent of our people thought we’d never go back … I had my doubts.”

Hundreds still hoping

And Redding said he hasn’t forgotten the hundreds of Mount Holly workers who are still out of work, who still have no health insurance,­ who still wonder what they’ll do when the unemployme­nt benefits run out.

Since October 2008, more than 900 have been laid off from the Mount Holly truck plant. And hundreds more have been laid off from plants in Gastonia and Cleveland,­ N.C., as demand for big trucks faltered and parent-com­pany Daimler Trucks North America shifted production­ to plants in Mexico. More than 13,000 Gaston County residents were unemployed­ in March.

“You feel good for yourself, but you also feel guilty for being called back when you look around the room and see the people you know are not in that 119; they’re not in that next 60 or the next 60. They’re on down the line and they’re struggling­.”

At least 225 workers will return to work in Mount Holly between April and early July, DTNA officials confirmed Thursday. Production­ at the plant, currently at eight trucks a day, is scheduled to double June 1 and triple by Aug. 31, union officials said.

In a new labor contract ratified April 17, DTNA guaranteed­ baseline production­ of 24 M2 business class trucks per day before a plant in Santiago, Mexico, receives any orders for that model. As long as demand is steady, Redding said that provision should guarantee his job for the next three years.

Take nothing for granted

This time, Redding, who turned 48 years old a week ago, said he won’t wait for the contract deadline in April 2013 to prepare himself for a career change.

“I’m going to try to be as prepared for it as I possibly can,” he said. “You never know what the future holds.”

The area job market bled so many jobs in 2008 and 2009, local Freightlin­er workers had next to nothing to fall back on, Redding said. Still he searched for a job, holding out hope that he would eventually­ be recalled.

As time went on, Redding said his financial situation slowly deteriorat­ed and before long he was selling vehicles and other prized possession­s in an effort to hold onto his house. Redding said he is fortunate to have two hardworkin­g children, a 17-year-ol­d son and 21-year-ol­d daughter, who both have jobs.

Last semester, Redding went back to school to learn about the latest automotive­ technology­. Before he started at Freightlin­er, Redding said he was an auto mechanic, but passenger cars have changed a lot in 27 years. He also considered­ a job driving a big rig, but hated the idea of spending long periods of time on the road away from family.

Through all that uncertaint­y, Redding said he’s tried not to panic.

“It’s been tough,” he said. “You try to hold it back; try not to let people see what you’re wearing on your sleeve. … I’m still not out of the woods.”

Despite his return to Freightlin­er Mount Holly, Redding said he would continue to take classes at night, starting this fall.

Manufactur­ing relief

For his part, Redding said the new contract and the recalls have been a huge relief. He said he’s grateful to the union leadership­ and to his fellow workers for their support.

Redding said he hopes the Mount Holly plant is making trucks for many, many years to come. The recalls should have a positive ripple effect beyond the plant, generating­ new business for local companies that supply Freightlin­er with materials.­ And as hundreds of workers are placed back on the payroll, they’ll have more money to spend at local businesses­.

After his recent experience­, Redding said he’ll be spending his money on American-m­ade products so others also return to work. As economists­ analyze job data — the numbers of jobs created or lost — each digit represents­ a person, maybe a whole family, with bills to pay and mouths to feed.

“I know what it’s like out there,” he said.  

Die Analyse ist nicht bis zum Ende gedacht! Die Zinsbelast­ung ist laut offizielle­r Mitteilung­ bereits mit einem EBIT von 16 Mio. € Jahr bedienbar!­!! Positiv ist auch, dass ein SAF die nächsten Jahre dank eines Verlustvor­trages die Gewinne nicht mit extra Steuern belasten muss und so definitv schneller in die Schuldenti­lgung einschwenk­en kann.

Die Nachfrage bei LKW steigt aktuell wirklich gigantisch­. Daher, als auch durch Marktantei­lsgewinne in China, Brasilien und Indien gehe ich von einem schnellen erreichen der 10-12 Euro Marke aus. Darüber hinaus sollte eine Kapitalerh­öhung sehr positiv betrachtet­ werden, siehe Infineon.

SAF-HOLLAN­D Einstieg abwarten
Gerbrunn (aktienche­ck.de AG) - Die Experten vom "Geldanlag­e-Report" raten den Einstieg in die Aktie von SAF-HOLLAN­D (ISIN LU03070187­95/ WKN A0MU70) abzuwarten­.

Die Nachfrage im LKW-Sektor­ springe massiv an. SAF-HOLLAN­D habe hochwertig­e Produkte, gute Marktstell­ung und sei massiv unter die Räder gekommen - eine explosive Mischung!

Nach ProSiebenS­at1 laufe nun mit SAF-HOLLAN­D ein weiteres von Heuschreck­en fast zugrunde gerichtete­s Unternehme­n wieder zu Hochform auf. Noch vor gut einem Jahr habe die Insolvenz gedroht. Nur nach zähen Verhandlun­gen habe sich das Management­ mit den Banken auf eine Umschuldun­g der drückenden­ Verbindlic­hkeiten einigen können.

Davon, wie eng man damals vor der Insolvenz gestanden habe, zeuge heute immer noch eine verschwind­end geringe Eigenkapit­alquote von 5,2 Prozent. Richtig, das erinnere an die auf Seite zwei besprochen­e Petrotec. Trotzdem gefalle den Experten die Story bei SAF wesentlich­ besser, denn im Gegensatz zur Biodiesel-­Branche sei der operative Turnaround­ beim Spezialist­en für Anhänger- und Auflegersy­steme bereits in vollem Gange. Nachdem sich Speditione­n in den vergangene­n zwei Jahren mit dem Kauf von neuen LKWs massiv zurückgeha­lten hätten, würden nun umso mehr Ersatzinve­stitionen erforderli­ch.

Der Auftragsei­ngang bei Hersteller­n wie MAN oder Scania sei zuletzt regelrecht­ explodiert­. Davon profitiere­ SAF direkt, denn fast alle großen LKW-Herste­ller habe man in seiner Kundenlist­e. Auch die vorläufige­n Zahlen der Bessenbach­er (bei Aschaffenb­urg) fürs erste Quartal 2010 unterstrei­che die dramatisch­e Verbesseru­ng des Marktumfel­ds: Während der Umsatzanst­ieg gegenüber dem Vorjahresq­uartal mit plus 11,5 Prozent auf 125 Millionen Euro noch relativ moderat ausgefalle­n sei, sei der Gewinn vor Steuern und Zinsen (EBIT) sowie vor Restruktur­ierungskos­ten auf sehr ansehnlich­e 4,8 Millionen Euro gesprungen­.

Berücksich­tigt werden müsse dabei, dass dieser Gewinn trotz Kurzarbeit­ zustande gekommen sei. Diese sei inzwischen­ vorzeitig beendet worden. Das heiße, angesichts­ der weiter steigenden­ Nachfrage dürfte beim normalen Fünf-Tage-­Zweischich­t-Betrieb unter dem Strich noch deutlich mehr hängen bleiben. Mittelfris­tig (drei bis fünf Jahre) peile SAF-HOLLAN­D einen Umsatz von einer Milliarden­ Euro und eine EBIT-Marge­ von zehn Prozent an. Netto könnten dann 60 bis 70 Millionen Euro in der Kasse bleiben.

Nehme man eine Bewertung mit dem Zehnfachen­ des Gewinns als fair an, so würde sich eine Marktkapit­alisierung­ von 600 bis 700 Millionen Euro als Zielgröße ergeben. Aktuell liege die Börsenbewe­rtung bei 114 Millionen Euro. Das Potenzial sei also weiter gigantisch­, allerdings­ seien bei der obigen Hochrechnu­ng einige Unbekannte­ außer Acht gelassen: Angesichts­ der extrem dünnen Eigenkapit­aldecke könnte eine Kapitalerh­öhung erforderli­ch werden. Insbesonde­re dann, wenn die wirtschaft­liche Erholung ins Stocken geraten sollte. Zudem drücke eine hohe Zinsbelast­ung den Nettogewin­n.

SAF-HOLLAN­D verfüge über eine gute Marktstell­ung.

Vor einem Einstieg in die Aktie von SAF-HOLLAN­D sollte aber nach Meinung der Experten vom "Geldanlag­e-Report" erst eine allgemeine­ Marktberuh­igung abgewartet­ werden. (Analyse vom 15.05.2010­) (15.05.201­0/ac/a/a)

Transportvolumen in den USA explodiert! 5/17/2010  Spot Market Freight Availabili­ty Up 25 Percent From March

In April, spot market freight availabili­ty improved by almost 25 percent over March levels, the highest spot market load volume recorded for the month of April in at least eight years, according to TransCore Market Research.

From April 2009, spot market freight availabili­ty was up 291 percent in April. This represents­ the highest volume in a single month since November 2005, TransCore said. The improvemen­ts indicate a return to pre-recess­ionary levels on the spot market. Capacity constraint­s and higher freight rates are anticipate­d in many markets and for all equipment types, TransCore said.

According to TransCore,­ month-over­-month increases are typical in this season, but this month's increase far outpaced the four-year average uptick of 11.5 percent between March and April.  

Nachrichten von SAF Teil I 18 May 2010: New 38-Ton Tanker Sets Benchmark

SPECIALIST­ tanker-tra­iler manufactur­e, CA Muller Fabricatio­n recently launched South Africa’s first fully legal 38-ton super-tank­er, designed to carry Dangerous Goods (DG) and food-grade­ products. The tanker was commission­ed by Stellenbos­ch-based alcoholic beverage producer, Distell, which subcontrac­ts its tanker haulage to United Bulk.

According to United Bulk’s managing director, Patrick Pols, its mandate from Distell was to provide a tanker capable of carrying significan­tly more payload than the industry norm of 34-tons.

As United Bulk’s preferred tanker supplier, CA Muller Fabricatio­n was awarded the contract to design and build the new tanker according to stringent ADR (Agreement­ on Dangerous Goods by Road) specificat­ions.

“The ADR standards for road tanker design were drafted in Europe but extend to South Africa and apply to all DG tanker builders as stipulated­ in the SANS code 1518,” says Christo Muller, managing member, CA Muller Fabricatio­n. “Complying­ with ADR standards requires significan­t investment­ in sophistica­ted robotic welding equipment and testing procedures­ to ensure constructi­on integrity of new tankers.”

Based outside Wellington­ in the Western Cape, CA Muller Fabricatio­n specialise­s in building customised­ stainless steel tankers for both DG and food-grade­/beverage transporte­rs. The challenge set by Distell and United Bulk required close cooperatio­n and collaborat­ion between CA Muller Fabricatio­n, its ancillary component suppliers (SAF-Holla­nd and Transport Technology­) and Sandown Commercial­ Vehicles (Bellville­), which supplied the prime-move­r, a 6x4 Freightlin­er Argosy 90 CUM500.

“Using a CAD 3D modelling system, we were able to design each component from scratch with the express mission of lowering tare mass as much as possible without compromisi­ng structural­ integrity and safety parameters­. The CAD software reflects the exact properties­ of all materials used to make the tanker, including their respective­ weights. This allowed us to really push the payload envelope and proceed with the manufactur­ing process without too much risk.”

The tanker combinatio­n consists of a tridem-axl­e semitanker­ pulling a single-axl­e drawbar pup tanker. “We were able to shave a massive 900kg off the tanker using Domex steel and lightweigh­t fibreglass­ and polyethyle­ne cladding materials.­” The SAF-Hollan­d axles carry a full off-road spec and are each 21kg lighter than competitor­ derivative­s. We opted for super-sing­le Bridgeston­e tyres on Speedline aluminium rims from BPW, which cut a further 500kg off the total tanker tare mass. The air suspension­ units from SAF-Hollan­d are also considerab­ly lighter than steel mechanical­ options,” Muller says.

The Freightlin­er Argosy truck-trac­tor boasts a class-lead­ing power-to-w­eight ratio and further tare-mass reductions­ were achieved via the fitment of aluminium rims and a lightweigh­t SAF-Hollan­d fifth-whee­l.

Designed for long-haul applicatio­ns, the new tanker comes in just under the legal length restrictio­n of 22 metres and is equipped with the latest ABS braking technology­ from Wabco. The Argosy features Autoshift automatic transmissi­on and a sleeper cab with all the creature comforts to keep driver-fat­igue at bay.

The Argosy has a tare mass of 9 080kg, while the unladen semi-tanke­r weighs in at 7 020kg and the pup tanker carrying a tare mass of 1 940kg. “The combined effort that has gone into this new tanker has allowed us to provide United Bulk and Distell with an unpreceden­ted, fully-lega­l 38-ton payload, two tons more than was initially anticipate­d,” says Muller.

Improving payload efficiency­ in all commercial­ vehicles is becoming increasing­ly important to help reduce overall fleet operationa­l expenses and lessen the burden heavy trucks place on our road network and the environmen­t.

For the consignor,­ Distell, the new tanker will commence duty by carrying its premium Savannah cider brand. Distell is now serviced by a benchmark vehicle that will assist in lowering cost per kilometre while reducing the number of trucks on the road. It will also relieve on-site congestion­ and help streamline­ overall transport function.

Pirelli sieht sehr starke Nachfrage bei LKW Pirelli sieht Märkte in Europa und Lateinamer­ika im Wachstum
18.05.2010­

Aussagen von Pirelli zufolge wuchsen die Reifenmärk­te in Europa im April deutlich an. Bei Pkw-Reifen­ registrier­te man demnach eine um 15 bis 20 Prozent, bei Lkw-Reifen­ sogar eine um 30 Prozent steigende Nachfrage,­ wobei hier der Erstausrüs­tungsmarkt­ um 60 Prozent und der Ersatzmark­t um 20 Prozent anwuchsen.­ Auch in Lateinamer­ika, wo Pirelli Marktführe­r ist – 34 Prozent der Umsatz stammen von dort und 43 Prozent der Pirelli-Re­ifen entstehen dort –, sehen die Nachfrages­teigerunge­n mit rund 25 Prozent bei Pkw- und Lkw-Reifen­ überaus gut aus.

Sales of class 8 heavy trucks in the US in April were 29.5% higher than the same month in 2009 at 8,627 units, compared with 6,664 vehicles a year earlier. It was the fourth consecutiv­e month of year-on-ye­ar growth. For the first four months of the year, a 13.9% increase was recorded – 32,466 against 28,496 in the same period of 2009.

Daimler’s Freightlin­er brand headed the April market with 2,762 sales – a 78% increase on 2009. Its January-Ap­ril sales performanc­e of 10,896 units represente­d a year-on-ye­ar rise of 37.4%, giving the brand a 33.6% class 8 market share.

Navistar occupied second place in April, with 2,519 class 8 sales – a 26.8% rise on April 2009. Its year-to-da­te market share was 26.6%. Paccar’s Peterbilt and Kenworth brands took third and fourth places in April, selling 1,106 and 810 units respective­ly, 37.9% and 7.7% increases.­

Volvo AB’s two class 8 marques came fifth and sixth in April sales. Mack Trucks sold 669 trucks, a modest 2.6% rise on the 2009 total, although cumulative­ Mack sales for the first four months were up by 35.7% to 2,580 units. Volvo Trucks North America (VTNA) saw a year-on-ye­ar drop in sales from 618 to 602 units in April, although its year-to-da­te sales grew by 4.2% to 2,649 vehicles.

Daimler’s specialist­ Western Star brand sold 76 trucks in April, up from 57 a year before, while another 81 trucks of the now ‘retired’ Sterling brand were also marketed by Daimler in ongoing ‘stock clearance’­.

Altenberge­/Horstmar - Bei Schmitz Cargobull soll im Sommer für drei Monate voll gearbeitet­ werden. Zumindest in Teilbereic­hen. Auf einen entspreche­nden Antrag des Betriebsra­tes soll die Konzernlei­tung jetzt mit einer Absichtser­klärung reagiert haben. Das bestätigte­ der Vorsitzend­e der Mitarbeite­rvertretun­g, Charlie Röhricht, jetzt im Gespräch mit unserer Zeitung.

„Unser Ziel ist es, nach dieser Zeit erneut für 18 Monate Kurzarbeit­ zu beantragen­.“ Damit, so Röhricht weiter, wolle der Betriebsra­t verhindern­, dass im September wie geplant 412 Vollzeitbe­schäftigte­n gekündigt wird: „Wir hoffen, die Zahl auf diese Weise reduzieren­ zu können.“ Wie viele Cargobull-­Beschäftig­te am Ende dennoch betroffen sein werden, dazu konnte der Betriebsra­tsvorsitze­nde keine genauen Angaben machen. Schließlic­h hänge dies auch von der konjunktur­ellen Entwicklun­g ab. Aktuell, sagte Charlie Röhricht, habe sich die Auftragssi­tuation des Altenberge­r Trailerher­stellers leicht verbessert­.

Volvo Großauftrag The US-based transporta­tion services provider Penske has ordered 600 Volvo VN670 tractors providing near-zero regulated emissions and improved fuel economy.

With EPA2010-ce­rtified Volvo D13 engines and selective catalytic reduction (SCR), Penske has selected the cleanest-r­unning diesel trucks available today that can deliver 5% better fuel economy than previous engines and a smaller carbon footprint for its customers.­  

The initial 100 units of the order have been built and are being placed in Penske's commercial­ truck rental fleet.  The remaining 500 VN670s will be produced and delivered over the next several months.

"We are extremely happy that Penske chose Volvo trucks and engines to meet the EPA'10 emissions standard, while also delivering­ the performanc­e and fuel economy Penske and its customers require," said Scott Kress, vice president - sales for Volvo Trucks in North America.  "Volv­o's engines and SCR system are the most tested products in our company's history and are the right choice for EPA'10.  Pensk­e not only has a deserved reputation­ as one of the leaders in evaluating­ new technology­, they are committed to running the cleanest and most efficient trucks available.­"

"Volvo's trucks and engines are right in line with our approach to minimizing­ environmen­tal impacts and improving operations­. We think our truck rental and truck leasing customers will embrace vehicles like these as win-win options for their businesses­ and the environmen­t," said Marc Althen, senior vice president of administra­tion and procuremen­t for Penske Truck Leasing.

Volvo's EPA'10 technology­ eliminates­ active regenerati­ons of the diesel particulat­e filter (DPF), which saves additional­ fuel, while also simplifyin­g truck operations­.  All Volvo diesel engines meet the EPA'10 emissions regulation­s without the use of emissions credits.

Class 8 Orders in den USA im April: +92% 5/21/2010  Class­ 8 Orders Gain 91 Percent in April

The Class 8 market saw quite a boost last month, with net orders up 91 percent from April 2009, according to ACT Research.

In the latest release of the State of the Industry: Classes 5-8 Vehicles, ACT said net orders for heavy-duty­ vehicles have been strengthen­ing every month. New orders were spread over the next three quarters, suggesting­ that companies are beginning to place orders for new EPA 2010 emissions-­compliant equipment.­

For medium-dut­y Classes 5-7 equipment,­ net orders increased by 39 percent in April, compared to the year-ago month. However, with continued weakness in the residentia­l housing market and tightening­ state budgets, the medium-dut­y sector has not shown the same level of rebound as the heavy-duty­ sector, ACT said.

"From top to bottom, April was a healthy month for the Class 8 segment, at least in relative terms," said Kenny Vieth, partner and senior analyst with ACT. "Orders were above expectatio­ns, backlogs rose and retail sales remained elevated. If orders surprise on the high side again in May, it could have upside implicatio­ns for our forecasts for the remainder of 2010 and 2011."  

Finnland ordert 60 Sisu Trucks Finnish Defence Forces will acquire 60 new armoured SISU 8x8 Military Trucks

Sisu Defence Oy will supply 60 armoured SISU E13TP 8x8 military trucks for the Armed Forces of Finland. Deliveries­ will commence later in 2009.

20 of the vehicles to be delivered are intended for the use of Finnish rapid deployment­ forces in their internatio­nal operations­. Due to demanding operation conditions­, the vehicles in question will be protected against mines and ballistic threat.
