Coolabah

7 years on. Still going strong. 💪

Daniel from DJ Logistics was one of the early adopters of the Coolabah Joey, installing the system in his Freightliner Coronado back in 2019.

Seven years later, it’s still delivering reliable heating and cooling on the road — including 12+ hours of climate control from the lithium battery system, without needing to leave the truck idling overnight.

“After around seven years of use, I can honestly say it has been a fantastic investment. The system has operated fault-free, and I’ve been particularly impressed with the quality of the installation and overall reliability of the unit.”

Daniel also highlights the Joey’s jump-start function and the ongoing support from the Coolabah team as two features that have given him extra peace of mind on the road.

Seven years of real-world use. One very happy customer.

F1 just redesigned its entire power architecture around one insight: smart battery management outperforms combustion dependence.

Electric output per car has nearly tripled. Fuel allowance has been cut by over a third. Winning now comes down to how intelligently teams deploy stored energy — not how hard they burn fuel.

For operators running vehicle-mounted equipment — refrigeration units, food service, mobile workstations, cooling systems — the same principle applies directly.

Lithium-ion vehicle batteries eliminate the fuel costs, noise, emissions, and mechanical complexity of generator-dependent setups, while delivering more consistent, controllable power to the equipment that keeps your operation running.

F1 teams don't leave energy management to chance. Neither should you.

Food truck regulations in Australia are complex. They vary by state, by council, and by what type of food you're serving. Miss something, and it could cost you thousands in fines, lost inventory, or worse—your business reputation.

Here's what you need to know - the permits and licences you actually need, food safety standards that apply to your truck, design and equipment requirements (spoiler: your fridge matters!), non-idling laws that could get you fined, state-specific regulations that catch most new operators off guard and why your power source choice affects your compliance.

Is Your Food Truck Losing Money to Generator Costs?

Running a food truck on diesel or petrol generators? You might be leaving thousands on the table every year.

Here's the reality: Traditional generators are loud, expensive and high-maintenance. They produce toxic fumes that can restrict where you operate, they break down at the worst times, and the fuel costs just keep adding up.

What if there was a better way?

We've just published a comprehensive guide on Power Management for Food Trucks that reveals why generators are costing you more than you think, the hidden health risks of diesel emissions, how battery power systems can save you $7,500+ a year and why zero noise and zero emissions = more business opportunities

The future of mobile food service is here—and it's quiet, clean, and profitable.

How much does a hot cabin really affect a driver's performance? In Australia's extreme climates, cabin temperature is more than a comfort issue—it's a critical safety factor. Fatigue and reduced reaction times are serious risks when a driver can't get quality rest. We explored how different climate zones, from the humid north to the arid centre, impact driver conditions and what it takes to maintain a safe and comfortable cabin environment.
