It may well be – and one would hope not – ‘bad jazz’ to some New Zealanders these days, but when Dave Dobbyn and his trusty Herbs sang, “Hey, I got a lot of faith in you. I’ll stick with you kid, that’s the bottom line,” they arguably weren’t just talking about personal or pet relationships, but business ones, too. And while that adage goes some way to encapsulating the fundamental core of any solid working relationship or ‘contract’ between customers and a business, suppliers and receivers, buyers and sellers, it holds greater truth when it’s underwritten by the ubiquitous common denominator of … time.

And, indeed, all that dedication and expertise arguably comes into play even more so as it, like many bus and coach operators throughout Australasia now – particularly private and family owned ones – enters the crossroads of e-mobility transition (a transition either ‘needed’ or ‘forced upon them’, different sides may argue).
