What's happening this month with the Keep On Moving Podcast Business Edition, brought to you by UDC ...

It's time for Ask the Editor again and Dave is joined by editor of New Zealand Trucking magazine Gavin Myers to discuss the Brisbane Truck Show 2025, the retirement of the Aratere, Budget 2025, and Winston Peter's latest stellar media performance.

In the OEM update, we talk with a broad cross-section of original equipment suppliers to the New Zealand industry.
This month, Southpac Trucks' general manager of sales, Richard Smart, chats about BTS 2025, DAF XG, the market place, and the economy.

There's a whole new world heading our way and we need to find out more about it so we're ready. Powering On talks to people in the know and those who have already headed off on a new propulsion journey. We aim to make it not too techy, delivering useful information for those who will still be responsible for delivering our new tomorrow.
This month, news broke on the week of the Brisbane Truck Show that regional logistics giant Linfox had purchased 30 electric Volvo heavy trucks from Volvo Group Australia (VGA). We talk to VGA communications manager Matt Wood about the deal and much more. 

Clear the Air is the section where co-host Dave McCoid and his good mate and Environmental champion Lindsay Wood discuss the climate and environmental issues of the day, as they should be discussed - respectfully!
This month, what looks like it's making progress but actually heading in the opposite direction? Find out the answer and so much more in this month's Dave and Lindsay chat.

We finish off with On Schedule – the series where Dave McCoid, editorial director at New Zealand Trucking Media, speaks with the National Road Carriers senior team and guests on a broad selection of topical industry subjects as well as the work the association does – the wins, the challenges, and the strategies taken on key issues of the day.
This month, NRC CEO Justin Tighe-Umbers and New Zealand Trucking Media's Dave McCoid meet with Transport Minister Chris Bishop at the Beehive. The big picture and vision from the government of the day is always of immense value.
