The Biofuels Association Volvo FH 13 litre truck was launched by the Hon Minister Tony Kelly, NSW Minister for Planning, Infrastructure and Lands, on Friday 8th October at the International Passenger Terminal at Circular Quay, Sydney.

Underneath the Sydney Harbour Bridge and right next to the Opera House, the event was well attended – including a surprise appearance by the Hon Bob Katter, Federal Member for Kennedy. It was truly a delight that two of Australia's most well known Ministers were able to take time out of their schedules to promote the use of biofuels in Australia by launching this truck on behalf of the Biofuels Association of Australia.

Attached here is a picture of the truck with (right to left) The Hon Bob Katter, The Hon Tony Kelly, Heather Brodie, BAA CEO and Ron Finemore, owner of Ron Finemore Transport, along with a couple of others I thought you might like.

All of the photos are readily available for members to use.

Newcastle is like many industrial cities with a poor history of air quality and emissions dating back to the days of steel making and heavy industry. However, as industry emission controls have tightened and steel making in Newcastle has ceased, the air quality in the City has dramatically improved.
