AGENDA This presentation will cover:

BWTS Overview
• Toyota X-Dock – Gauteng (RTMS) • PPC Cement – Gauteng (RTMS) • Illovo Sugar – Gauteng (RTMS) • PPC Cement – Eastern and Western Cape (RTMS) • Illovo Sugar – KZN (RTMS) • Corobrik – KZN (RTMS) • PPC Cement – NW (RTMS) • Anglo Platinum – NW (RTMS) • Meadow Feeds – National (RTMS – Paarl and PE) • Ecosse Chemical – Gauteng (Next to be done) • Manline (Pending) (All Depots) Total number of ± 800 Trucks will fall under RTMS accreditation
• RTMS Accreditation
• Key areas which gives the RTMS credibility and value:
– Stringent adherence to:
• Legal payloads
• Speeding
• Driving hours
• Maintenance practices
• Documentation Control
• Training and education
• Risk assessment
• Post RTMS Review
• Formal framework for all existing operational and technical protocols • Areas where improvements have been seen:
• LTIFR – reduced from 2008 (4.9) to 2012 (0.3) • Driving hours – 0.58% (all not at risk) • Maintenance practices – 100% compliance • Risk assessment – internal risk audit score over 90%
• Being self regulating has been well received by current and potential
customers
Post RTMS Review (Cont.)
• Contracts have been awarded to BWL because of good internal risk and operational protocols and RTMS helped to bring this together.
• Post RTMS accreditations have been obtained for the transportation of explosives and chemicals. The RTMS framework covers over 80% of these audit requirements.
• The benefits are starting to come through in cost saving in all areas of our daily operations
Smart Trucks Demonstration Project
• Barloworld is currently working on a few Smart Truck projects in different parts of the country and on different vehicle configurations.
• We fully support and understand the key advantages of the Smart Truck Program: – Reduced road wear – Improved stability – Improved payload capabilities – Reduced road congestion – Reduced CO2 emissions per ton of payload moved
