A well-earned honour for one of heavy transport’s quiet achievers.

At the 2025 IRTENZ conference in Hamilton this week, Dr John de Pont was presented with life membership for his outstanding contribution to IRTENZ and the wider road transport industry – hot on the heels of his induction into the NZ Road Transport Hall of Fame earlier this year.

From vehicle–road interaction research to helping develop tools like SRT, PBS and HPMV configurations, John’s work has lifted safety and productivity across New Zealand’s heavy vehicle fleet and beyond.
