Easter is one of the busiest times of the year on Australian roads. If you’re on the road this long weekend, here are some handy tips to help you travel safely.

Keep a safe distance

Not only does Easter see an increase in cars on the road but also boats, caravans and trailers. Ensure you maintain a safe following distance and be patient when travelling behind slow-moving vehicles and/or boat trailers.

Pre-trip vehicle check

Before you head off, it’s important you check your vehicle so you have a smooth drive and arrive at your destination safely. Here are some pre-trip vehicle checks:

• Conduct a safety check on tyres, brakes, suspension, lights and restraints.
• Check your tyre pressure – under-inflated tyres can increase fuel consumption and effect on-road performance. Tyre pressure information can be found on a placard located on the right front door aperture, or in the vehicle operators handbook. Correctly inflated tyres will also improve your fuel economy.
• Make sure your headlights, indicators and brake lights are working.
• Check your windscreen for any chips or cracks as bumpy roads could cause a chip to turn into a full windscreen replacement.
• Check fluid levels including oil, coolant, and windscreen washer fluid.

Remember, not everything is open over the long weekend, so make sure you are prepared before you set off.

In the event of any accident

If you are involved in a road accident, it’s important you follow the correct procedure. These simple steps will assist you at the scene of an accident:

• Ensure the safety of yourself and others first. Do not attempt to move any injured passengers from a vehicle.
• Do not admit liability or offer payment to any party concerned.
• Give your name, address, licence number, registration number and insurance details to the other people involved in the accident. Obtain similar details from them.
• Be sure to gather sufficient information from the parties involved and any witnesses present. Make sure you obtain witness contact details.
• Take notes and photos of the accident scene, cross streets, the direction of travel, vehicle damage and so on as this information will help you complete an insurance claim form.
• Police reporting guidelines may vary from state to state. Make sure you are aware of your requirements.

We wish you a safe and enjoyable Easter break.

ORIX Australia has moved its head office to an incredible new location in Macquarie Park, Sydney. The state-of-the-art space sparks an exciting new era of collaboration and productivity, with features and amenities promoting innovation, collaboration and overall health and wellbeing. Along the way, our people made a long-lasting impact in the local community through donations of equipment and furniture as well as responsible disposal of waste materials.

The new head office space at Levels 2 & 3, 66 Talavera Road, Macquarie Park, Sydney is equipped with the technology, tools and amenities to empower our people to work together in an environment created to enhance their wellbeing and productivity.

“The new office is a testament to our commitment to our people. This space is not just a building; It’s a canvas for collaboration, a catalyst for innovation, with the right facilities to support how we work now and in the future. It’s a space that exemplifies our vision and values, and an environment to foster diversity that can empower everyone to thrive. This office embodies our belief that when we come together with purpose, anything is achievable,” says Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer of ORIX Australia Corporation Limited, Reggie Cabal.

The office is full of collaborative working and gathering spaces, encouraging open communication, idea sharing, brainstorming and team building. The innovative space provides a place for new ideas to grow and skills to be learned. Inspiring décor, flowing greenery and natural light streaming through floor-to-ceiling windows create a welcoming work environment. Functional features such as height-adjustable desks, dual monitors and ergonomic chairs emphasise health and wellbeing. And a revamped front-of-house and visitor seating area offer a great first impression for clients and other visitors.

Lending a helping hand
During the transition, our people donated eight carloads of stationery and office equipment to Marsden High School in Meadowbank, Sydney. Everything from binders and writing utensils to document trays and paper guillotines now have a new home, where they will be put to good use by students and teachers.

Sending some love to ReLove
While moving to the new home, we also made a sizeable furniture donation to ReLove. This registered Australian charity focuses on supporting women and children impacted by domestic violence, experiencing homelessness and/or seeking asylum. In total, ORIX donated the equivalent of eight homes’ worth of furniture, appliances and kitchenware including fridges, microwaves, lounges and lounge chairs, coffee tables, artwork, glassware and cutlery.

Focusing on sustainability
ORIX Australia is committed to upholding our company values regarding sustainability, turning our global focus into action during the move. Our people recycled 42,910kg (42.23 tonnes) of material and equipment over the 4-month moving period. That adds up to 276.49 metric tonnes/month of avoided CO2E emissions^*.

* Based on Stopwaste Partnership Greenhouse Gas reductions calculator.
(https://www.stopwaste.co/calculator/)

Our new building offers several sustainable features including LED sensor lighting to reduce energy consumption. We’ve also reduced our overall physical footprint – 23% less floor space and 50% less storage space – that will lead to less energy usage. And the Macquarie Park location’s proximity to a bustling train and metro station and bus interchange, as well as the building offering bike racks and end-of-trip facilities, promotes more efficient, sustainable commuting.

We’re looking forward to embarking on this new chapter and celebrating team-wide achievements and success that continue to drive sustainable vehicle and asset leasing, rental solutions, and fleet management services to businesses across Australia.

The cost of fuelling your fleet is one of your biggest business expenses – and fluctuating fuel prices are making cost management that much harder. The good news is there are steps you can take to better manage fuel costs.

Here are some simple things your drivers can do to significantly improve fuel efficiency.

Slow down

Going easy on the accelerator can boost fuel efficiency. Avoiding aggressive driving, like hard accelerations and braking, can reduce fuel consumption by as much as 40 per cent¹. In city driving, about half a vehicle’s energy goes into acceleration. By using smooth and gradual acceleration, drivers will move into a higher gear faster, which is more efficient.

On the other side of the equation, gentle deceleration – or avoiding hard braking – can save fuel. When a driver takes their foot off the accelerator, the flow of fuel to the engine automatically stops, which then idles. Every little bit adds up to significant savings.

Many new vehicles have a ‘stop/start’ feature which turns off the engine while stationary to avoid idling, helping reduce needless usage. You should encourage your drivers to use this feature.

Keep to a steady speed

Maintaining a steady speed on highways is more fuel efficient than constantly tapping the break and then re-accelerating. Using cruise control is a good way to keep track of speed – but it can be less efficient when driving around hilly areas.

Keeping to the posted speed limits can also prevent burning excess fuel – not to mention expensive fines.

Reduce the weight in the vehicle

The heavier the vehicle, the harder the engine has to work. While it may be convenient to carry a full load at all times, taking out non-essential items lightens the load and helps the vehicle run more efficiently.

Keep maintenance up-to-date

Keeping to maintenance schedules can also help keep vehicles operating in optimal condition. Issues that affect fuel consumption can be found and fixed before they cause significant problems. This is why ORIX keeps fleet managers and their drivers up-to-date on their required maintenance schedules through SMS communications and via our App and customer reports.

There are a few simple things your drivers can do to improve mileage, including regular oil changes and using the appropriate oil. Replacing a dirty air filter can also increase mileage by up to 10 per cent².

Check tyre pressure

Ensure tyres are properly inflated and in good condition – under-inflated tyres may cause fuel consumption to increase by as much as 10 per cent³. Check tyre pressure monthly, making sure the pressure is the same in all tyres and is at the correct level for the vehicle. The vehicle’s operating manual should provide a guide for optimal inflation.

Likewise, your drivers should regularly check tyres are in good condition with plenty of tread and even wear. If tyres are wearing unevenly, they should arrange to check the vehicle’s alignment and have the tyres rotated.

Reduce air conditioning use

Running the aircon uses a lot of energy. On a warm day, reducing the temperature, even a degree or two, can significantly impact efficiency. If you’re looking for ways to keep vehicles cooler, window tinting can reduce the impact of the harsh Australian sun.

Maximise fuel card use

Encouraging your drivers to use their company supplied fuel cards will not only save you money via discounted fuel, it will also contribute to fuel efficiency reports. ORIX’s fuel card data provides fleet managers with total fuel spend (by litres and by type) and benchmarking data on fuel usage (by driver and by vehicle). Fuel exception reports can build on the fuel card data and ensure cards are being used correctly – that is, only for the allocated vehicle.

Tracking driver behaviour and training for efficiency and safety

Keeping track of the data on driver behaviour can help you understand and identify efficiencies. ORIX’s telematics platform ORIX i, can track how vehicles are driven, including harsh or excessive driving, providing recommendations to improve efficiency.

Driver training can help drivers get more from their vehicles by addressing and correcting poor road behaviours, which can improve fuel efficiency and safety.

After all, for staff driving fleet vehicles, their vehicle is often their office. In the same way staff are expected to treat the office with respect, they’re expected to treat their vehicle with respect – and they should be trained to use it appropriately.

Working together starts here

Overall, the simplest way to improve fuel efficiency is to encourage drivers to back off the accelerator, drive less aggressively and keep maintenance up to date. At a time when fuel prices are at an all-time high, simple changes can help improve efficiency and save money now and into the future.

Beehive Industries has been on a mission to end loneliness in Sydney’s inner-city for almost 50 years. They are a not-for-profit organisation supporting more than 250 seniors who are long-term unemployed, living with a disability and rely on the support of social enterprise operations.

A key part of Beehive Industries is providing seniors (aka beehivers) free transport from housing commission estates across Sydney to their hive facility. The current community transport service of Beehive is completely unfunded, which is where ORIX can help.

ORIX is proud to announce our next advancement in community initiatives by supporting Beehive Industries to expand their transport needs and bring more seniors together in a socially inclusive environment where they can connect and participate in local activities.

ORIX has sponsored an ex-leased Toyota HiAce Van that will transport their beehivers across the Sydney Metro to increase the number of seniors in the centre daily and will be used for their everyday food relief runs.

Sydney, Australia – November 3, 2022: Electric vehicles are shaping the future of last-mile delivery* around the globe – but Australia is still dragging the chain. And today local last-mile delivery specialist ANC and ORIX Australia Corporation Limited (ORIX), a leading rental, leasing and fleet management company, announced a strategic partnership to show how fleet electrification can be achieved.

The two companies hosted a special EV event in Sydney, attended by ANC clients, business leaders, EV suppliers and Federal Climate Change and Energy Minister Chris Bowen. The purpose was to announce the partnership, talk about how ANC and ORIX are overcoming challenges to the take up of EVs, and to unveil several of ANC’s newest fleet EVs – including an Australian first: a specially-designed e-TukTuk. Manufactured by BILITI Electric and imported exclusively by Brisbane company EMoS, the e-TukTuks are redefining last-mile deliveries in urban environments.

“We’re very excited to be pioneering these new 3-wheel EVs in Australia,” says ANC CEO Joe Sofra. “They’re being used globally – including by IKEA – and will be launched into the US market in the coming months. Initially our two e-TukTuks – which we’ve nicknamed BUDDe – will be deployed to carry out deliveries for IKEA Australia’s Tempe store for a 3-month trial to prove concept.”

Sofra calls the partnership with ORIX a “game-changing pathway to the take-up of electric vehicles”, particularly by its delivery professionals. “There’s a global revolution underway as the last-mile delivery sector accelerates fleet electrification,” he says. “EV fleets are a perfect match for our sector. And while they’re still in a nascent stage in Australia, we didn’t want to sit idly by and wait for the perfect economic environment to accelerate our EV goals. We now urge other last-mile delivery providers to take up the challenge.”

ANC now has 10 EVs in its fleet – vans, trucks and the two TukTuks – with firm plans for more. The partnership with ORIX aims to improve access to EVs on a capital light basis and demonstrates how the cost of adopting EV vs brown fleets is comparable, with rates more economical than renting a vehicle. It also shows that the value proposition mimics a fully operable lease, with no maintenance, tyres, or servicing cost to the driver.

“It’s still early days for EVs as fleet vehicles and there are still many challenges, however, partnering with like-minded organisations helps overcome barriers and creates greener, more sustainable outcomes,” says Reggie Cabal, ORIX CEO. “We are helping remove the complexity for delivery professionals to adopt EVs by aligning vehicles, infrastructure, energy and optimisation into a single, practical plan for a decarbonised fleet future.

“We’re also leveraging short-term rental solutions, which allows clients to undertake pilots to test the operational practicalities of EV and hybrid vehicles in their business operations. Having the right fleet partner working with you to build a cost-effective framework simply makes the transition smoother.”

ANC’s own EV journey was driven by its relationship with one of the company’s key customers, IKEA, which has a global goal to provide all its customers with zero-emission deliveries by 2025.

“As a purpose-led business, our ambition is to enable our customers to live better everyday lives within the limits of the planet, which extends to actively reducing emissions across all our operations,” says Mirja Viinanen, IKEA Australia CEO and Chief Sustainability Officer. “IKEA led the way as the first Australian home furnishing retailer to implement home deliveries with electric vehicles. Now, we are striving towards an ambitious goal of 100% zero-emissions delivery by 2025.

“We are committed to this goal and want to bring the retail sector on the journey with us, so we are calling on the government to help us get there by introducing targeted incentives and charging infrastructure for last-mile delivery and logistics to boost the uptake of EVs.”

* In a product’s journey from warehouse shelf to the back of a truck, to a customer doorstep, the “last mile” of delivery is the final step of the process – the point at which the package finally arrives at the buyer’s door.

When vehicles are key to your business operations, you can’t afford errors when building customised vehicles for your fleet.

Sydney, Australia – September 9, 2022 – Two vehicle sector leaders – last-mile delivery specialist ANC and leading rental, leasing and fleet management company ORIX Australia Corporation Limited (ORIX) – have joined forces to celebrate World Electric Vehicle Day today, announcing a strategic partnership that’s designed to help ANC achieve zero-carbon last mile delivery. And in celebration, ANC, supported by ORIX, has added a new EV truck, nicknamed ‘BESTe’ to its fleet.

ANC is already on the road to zero-carbon last mile and BESTe, a SEA BEV (battery electric vehicle) pantech truck, will drive that ambition further with its sustainable offering. It boasts an impressive 240km range. It’s also fast-charge ready, thanks to its three-phase charging socket, making it more convenient, and removing the barrier to expensive charging equipment.

BESTe’s first mission for ANC is to deliver for Williams-Sonoma Inc. in Australia. Williams-Sonoma, Inc. is the world’s largest digital-first, design-led and sustainable home retailer. The company’s products, representing distinct merchandise strategies — Williams Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, Pottery Barn Teen, West Elm, Williams Sonoma Home, Rejuvenation, and Mark and Graham — are marketed through e-commerce websites, direct-mail catalogues and retail stores. BESTe will also help support the sustainability goals of other ANC clients, with the company making the EV truck available on a month-to-month basis to any of its clients keen to act on their goals. “Customers are thinking more and more about their contribution to a more sustainable future and we’re happy to assist in this way,” says Mo Abbas, ANC Group Executive, Marketing & Strategy.

The addition of BESTe will reinforce ANC’s commitment to breaking down the top four barriers to adoption in the last mile sector:

• data to inform a conversion strategy;
• charging infrastructure;
•  cost or capital;
• access to stock.

“World EV Day is the perfect time to introduce BESTe,” Abbas says. “We’re already on the road to zero-carbon last mile thanks to some very strong partnerships – and we’re thrilled that ORIX has such an impressive solution to help us overcome these last-mile barriers.”

ORIX specialises in the rental, acquisition, financing and management of vehicles, including electric vehicles, and is committed to supporting businesses that are dedicated to decarbonising their fleet. “We’re excited to support ANC by providing sustainable, integrated fleet solutions for their transport needs,” says ORIX Rental and Mobility General Manager, Grant Harrison.

“We recognise our role is to use our expertise to assist clients in identifying solutions that reduce their environmental impact and embed more sustainable practices without compromising their business operations. BESTe is the ideal solution for ANC as it works towards offering a zero-carbon last mile.”

ANC is an early adopter of sustainable practices, with green vehicles in its fleet already sequestering more than 110 tonnes of carbon emissions. “We have committed to growing this fleet both in size and type as we seek to reimagine the last mile,” Abbas explains. “At ANC we believe this is part of our obligation to enable a more sustainable delivery option. World EV day is a global movement where companies aim to drive change, together. As we’re in the business of delivering, taking action to decarbonise our fleet is very important. This goal benefits everyone, and it’s important to partner with companies such as ORIX to create a greener and more sustainable world for future generations.”

ORIX can provide organisations with either Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles (PHEV) and hybrid options for assessment for either lease or rental. “This is an excellent way for organisations to find out if electric vehicles are suitable for their business, before they make any significant commitments,” Harrison says.

“ORIX is committed to integrating sustainability into all areas of the decision-making and solutions it offers to clients and our rental option is a popular and effective one,” he says. “All our relationships, including our one with ANC, are based on an alignment of values, and on a mutual understanding of the need to act to reduce our respective footprints.”

Large infrastructure construction, roadworks and aggregate supplier company Fulton Hogan, in collaboration with ORIX Australia Corporation Limited, have launched their first all-electric SEA Electric commercial truck.

The SEA Hino 917 EV will be used by Fulton Hogan as a road sign and maintenance truck in a local city council in Melbourne, Australia at the City of Port Phillip.

Fulton Hogan CEO – Infrastructure Services, Matthew MacMahan says the team is excited to introduce the first fully electric maintenance vehicle into their fleet. “The technology aligns with Fulton Hogan’s commitment to sustainable transport and roadworks solutions,” he said.

Scott Thorpe, ORIX’s General Manager Sales and Marketing said “ORIX is a Fleet Management leader, specialising in the acquisition, financing and management of vehicles including electric vehicles.  We share SEA Electrics’ ambition to identify and implement environmentally sustainable solutions that support organisational requirements. ORIX is extremely proud to have worked with long standing client, Fulton Hogan, on this electric vehicle.”

The commercial electric vehicle has zero emissions for improved carbon footprint and saves significant costs with reduced fuel and lower maintenance costs. It is also whisper quiet, reducing noise pollution in urban streets.

Plus, in a world first, the electric truck has outlets for power tools to be used roadside, powered off the EV trucks’ battery rather than a fossil fuel powered generator.

“The SEA Electric team had some fun bringing this idea to reality”, said Glen Walker SEA Electric’s Regional Director of Oceania. “We joked we have just built the world’s most versatile zero emissions power board.”

“We thank Fulton Hogan and ORIX for giving SEA Electric another opportunity to prove the ability, adaptability and versatility of our SEA-Drive® technology. This vehicle also expands upon the increasingly productive collaboration between SEA Electric and Hino Trucks Australia.”

The electric truck is built on a Hino 917 platform, however future orders can be adapted to most OEM glider platforms. Powered by the SEA-Drive® 100 power-system with a 100kWh battery capacity, which produces 108kW maximum power. More importantly for a commercial vehicle the SEA-Drive® 100 produces maximum torque of 1,000Nm, has a range of up to 275km (unladen), with onboard three-phase charger that can be charged to 80% within 5 hours.  The EV truck also has CCSD DC fast charge.
