“Times are still troubling, not only for MAGYAR as an exporter, but for all suppliers, as
prices increase due to the dramatically changing exchange rate following the Brexit
referendum,” said UK sales manager Graham Baker.
“But we all still progress through what has been rather unseasonably warm
weather; in what’s supposed to be a tanker operator’s busy season this weather
could mean future investment is curtailed by a lack of revenue…..
Magyar’s stand will have rigids and trailers featuring a variety of meter suppliers.
AK Aviation is investing in trailers for rent with a 40,000 litre tank on show.
Operating in Jersey and Guernsey, Rubis continues to invest in its fleet as does
Dublin-based Euro Oils which has ordered a second 26t Renault with tank quality
being the reason for the additional order. Also on show will be a 26t Volvo for Heltor
fitted with Emco Wheaton BLVR equipment.
Last year Magyar produced two IVECO Daily tankers with two compartments
– one can be seen on the IVECO stand – very compact at just 4,500 litres, these
tankers also feature Emco Wheaton equipment. Having seen these tankers in
operation, a further four tankers are on order from other customers.

MAN TRUCK & BUS UK joined together with HOYER Petrolog UK to take a safety and
training roadshow to six dealerships around the UK.
The companies presented to over 140 people across the six strategic locations, 100
of which were technicians. The roadshow covered a range of subjects from company fleet
objectives in safety, compliance and service, specific contract themes delivered by HOYER
contract managers, through to fleet policy changes, inspection standards and tyre husbandry.
Talking about the roadshows, Mark Price, MAN international key account manager, said:
“They were very well received and it was an excellent example of collaboration between two
businesses that can be considered experts in their field.”

The PETROLEUM DRIVER PASSPORT (PDP)
which provides the knowledge and skills required
by a petroleum tanker driver and ensures all
drivers are trained and assessed to a consistent
industry standard, continues to grow.
Over 8,900 passports have now been issued.
Drivers should have a passport style PDP card
regardless of their employer, type of vehicles,
grade(s) of petroleum product, or loading point
and obtain this once they are working in the
industry.
The annual practical assessment
element of the scheme is particularly valued.
Implementation of PDP in Northern Ireland
is now well-stablished and dialogue with the
Republic of Ireland continues.
