A highlight of the festival will be the Shell Rimula Wall of Fame Induction Ceremony, which recognises and champions the achievements of the road transport community across Australia.
This year’s ceremony will induct 57 new legends of road transport into the Wall of Fame, celebrating each individual’s lifelong commitment to the industry.
“The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has shone a spotlight on how important the road transport community is for our country,” said Nick Lubransky, Transport Marketing Manager for Viva Energy (the Shell brand licensee in Australia).
This year’s Wall of Fame ceremony will also involve some of last year’s inductees, as the COVID-19 pandemic has effectively sidelined the event, in an in-person form at least, since 2019.
“We are excited to be back celebrating such an important community and recognising those individuals that have demonstrated a lifelong commitment to the transport industry,” said Mr Lubransky.
“For 21 years now, Shell Rimula and the Road Transport Hall of Fame have supported this special occasion and we are delighted to be back this year to welcome the 2022 inductees in person.”
