rather than chase the big companies or councils chase the contractors who own the trucks ???  ABV need sales desperately to show they are a viable business and can justify scale up of production and get real ecconomies of scale as they just don't seem able or willing to do a deal with a existing player in the marketplace of general trucking and are scared to price it lower as the margin falls off for the specialist oh&s  mining business they have.   The transition has to happen sometime as the mining industry isn't dumb and if they see the same product in the general market at 1/3 the price they will want it as well.
