On 1 June 1944, Harry Vos began a delivery service between Oss and Nijmegen using just one Chevrolet. In the reconstruction following the war, the founder benefited from the strong growth of the transport sector and Harry Vos Transport grew into one of the biggest transport companies in the Netherlands. With 21 vehicles and 37 employees, he also began to provide international transport services. The company's name was changed in 1970 to Expeditie en Internationaal Transportbedrijf Harry Vos BV. By the end of that decade, the company had 130 employees and 80 trucks. Under the leadership of Wim Vos, the founder's son, the company expanded quickly in the 1980s through both organic growth and acquisitions at home and abroad. The name of the logistics company that emerged was changed to Harry Vos Transport Group. The company has been operating under its current name, Vos Logistics, since 1998.

Work is well underway on Sky Waka, the new high-speed gondola at Whakapapa on New Zealand’s North Island, with the team facing ever-changing logistical challenges with engineering specifications, getting materials on-site, and the physical construction process.
Lack of access over unique volcanic terrain adds to the complexity of this project. Even transporting concrete from the truck to the construction site has required some out of the box thinking.
“Conventional concrete trucks drive part way up the mountain and are then replaced with a trailer concrete mixing bowl with a 3.5 cubic metre capacity” says Whakapapa General Manager, Jono Dean.
“The concrete is then transferred onto a purpose built aerial material ropeway system that then transfers the loads to the locations required in the mid mountain. To date, 400 of the 1100 tonnes required for this project has been transported.”
The Swiss engineered ropeway can transport up to 5 tonnes of equipment and materials without relying on helicopter use, which can be restricted due to weather conditions. At over 1000m in length with towers up to 34m tall, it is the first of its kind in NZ to be constructed for the purpose of building a passenger ropeway on a ski field.
“We’ve had amazing luck with weather this summer, which has got the project off to a great start but being up a mountain conditions could change rapidly and affect the project timeline.”
The construction of the 14 tower foundations to support the new Sky Waka gondola line are nearly complete and work is underway on the terminal stations where people will get on and off the gondola.
Italian based company Leitner is supplying and installing the gondola, and General Manager David Ratcliffe says he’s excited to be involved in New Zealand’s largest gondola installation. “This project has presented unique challenges but work is progressing well and it’s exciting to be a part of such an iconic project.”
The fifty Sky Waka gondola cabins will feature floor to ceiling glass for breathtaking views, internal ski racks, audio and lighting and individual leather seats offering business-class luxury to passengers befitting of the UNESCO Dual World Heritage status of Whakapapa Ski Area. Each cabin accommodates 10 passengers and even the tallest skiers will be able to stand upright in the cabin with more than 2m of internal clearance.
The Sky Waka will run from the Top of the Bruce base area directly to the award-winning Knoll Ridge Café. It will transport 2,400 people per hour over the 1.8km in approximately 5 minutes.
Social and economic indicators for the gondola project are compelling, with a team of about 35 hands on people working on the project and another estimated 100 people contributing to the project behind the scenes, including a strong contingent of local employment from the area.
The gondola project has involved working closely with Ngati Tuwharetoa and DOC which has seen a significant reduction in the number of structures on the mountain, the new installation having less than half of the structures it replaces.
As a public benefit entity RAL invests its proceeds back into developing the mountain’s facilities and the new gondola forms part of the $100m reinvestment strategy announced by the RAL board in 2015.
Les travaux vont bon train sur Sky Waka, la nouvelle télécabine à haute vitesse de Whakapapa, sur l’île du Nord de la Nouvelle-Zélande. L’équipe est confrontée à des défis logistiques en constante évolution: spécifications techniques, mise en place des matériaux et processus de construction.
Le manque d'accès sur un terrain volcanique unique ajoute à la complexité de ce projet. Même le transport du béton du camion sur le chantier a nécessité une réflexion originale.
«Les camions en béton conventionnels roulent en partie sur la montagne et sont ensuite remplacés par un bol à béton d'une remorque d'une capacité de 3,5 mètres cubes», a déclaré Jono Dean, directeur général de Whakapapa.
«Le béton est ensuite transféré sur un système de remontée mécanique sur matériaux aériens spécialement conçu à cet effet, qui transfère ensuite les charges aux emplacements requis en moyenne montagne. À ce jour, 400 des 1 100 tonnes requises pour ce projet ont été transportées. ”
Les remontées mécaniques suisses peuvent transporter jusqu'à 5 tonnes d'équipements et de matériaux sans recourir à l'utilisation d'hélicoptères, ce qui peut être limité en raison des conditions météorologiques. Avec plus de 1000 m de long et des tours atteignant 34 m de haut, il s'agit du premier du genre en Nouvelle-Zélande à être construit dans le but de construire un téléphérique pour passagers sur un domaine skiable.
"Nous avons eu une chance incroyable avec la météo de cet été, ce qui a donné un bon départ au projet, mais être dans les conditions montagneuses pourrait changer rapidement et avoir une incidence sur le calendrier du projet."
La construction des 14 fondations de la tour pour soutenir la nouvelle gondole Sky Waka est presque terminée et des travaux sont en cours sur les gares terminales où les gens pourront monter et descendre de la télécabine.
Leitner, société italienne, fournit et installe la gondole. Le directeur général, David Ratcliffe, se dit ravi de participer à la plus grande installation de gondoles de Nouvelle-Zélande. "Ce projet a présenté des défis uniques, mais le travail avance bien et c’est excitant de faire partie d’un projet aussi emblématique."
Les cinquante cabines de la télécabine Sky Waka comprendront des baies vitrées offrant une vue époustouflante, des porte-skis internes, un système audio et d'éclairage ainsi que des sièges individuels en cuir offrant un luxe de classe affaires aux passagers, digne du statut de domaine de ski de Whakapapa classé au double patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO. Chaque cabine peut accueillir 10 passagers et même les plus grands skieurs pourront se tenir debout dans la cabine avec plus de 2 m de dégagement interne.
Le Sky Waka ira de la base de Top of the Bruce au Knoll Ridge Café, un établissement primé. Il transportera 2 400 personnes par heure sur 1,8 km en 5 minutes environ.
Les indicateurs sociaux et économiques du projet de gondole sont convaincants, avec une équipe d'environ 35 personnes travaillant sur le projet et environ 100 personnes contribuant au projet en coulisse, y compris un fort contingent d'emplois locaux de la région.
Le projet de télécabine a impliqué une collaboration étroite avec Ngati Tuwharetoa et DOC, qui a enregistré une réduction significative du nombre de structures en montagne, la nouvelle installation remplaçant moins de la moitié des structures.
En tant qu’entité d’intérêt public, RAL réinvestit ses recettes dans le développement des installations de la montagne. La nouvelle télécabine fait partie de la stratégie de réinvestissement de 100 millions de dollars annoncée par le conseil d’administration de RAL en 2015.

Twenty - Fifth Anniversary of the Royal Logistic Corps
Her Royal Highness, The Princess Royal to Celebrate the Royal Logistic Corps’ 25th Anniversary at Pirbright
Her Royal Highness, The Princess Royal will be guest of honour and inspecting officer at a grand parade of 460 troops at Brunswick Barracks in Pirbright celebrating the 25th Anniversary of the British Army’s largest Corps – The Royal Logistic Corps.
On the 5th April 1993, the Royal Logistic Corps (RLC) was born out of the amalgamations of the: Royal Corps of Transport, Royal Army Ordnance Corps, Royal Pioneer Corps, Army Catering Corps and the Army’s Postal and Courier Service. It remains the largest body of troops within the British Army with, undoubtedly the greatest diversity of trades and skills enabling it to live up to and deliver its motto, “We Sustain”. It is the duty of the Royal Logistic Corps to supply and maintain the British Army whenever and wherever it is called upon to serve.
Her Royal Highness, as the RLC’s Colonel-in Chief, will arrive on the parade square, in Field Marshall The Earl Montgomery’s Rolls Royce. The priceless car sits in pride of place at the Corps’ museum; it too has perhaps as remarkable a history as its former illustrious owner. It drove ashore onto the beaches of Normandy a mere two days after D-Day to accompany ‘Monty’ during the invasion campaign.
More:
Her Royal Highness will inspect the first rank of troops before issuing stable belts to 36 of the
soldiers on parade. It will symbolically mark the return of the Corps, again as part of the 25th
Anniversary commemorations, to wearing the uniquely coloured belt that identifies the wearer as a member of the RLC.
Following the parade The Princess Royal will then be introduced to members of the corps and their families and learn a little of the recent events and activities regarding the Corps’ Silver Jubilee. Her Royal Highness will then join a group photograph on the parade square.
