Media Release Tuesday 1 August, 2023

In what is believed to be the largest consignment of Heavy Trucks ever into New Zealand, the country’s leading Heavy Truck* brand, ����������� NZ, is landing nearly 200 new trucks into Ports of Auckland in a single month.��

��

The 195 units – hot off the factory floor from ����������� headquarters in Södertälje, Sweden – represent the very latest in fuel efficient, low emission Euro 6 engines on the market, many of which will be replacing older, higher emission diesel engine trucks on our roads.��

��

����������� NZ’s Director of Sales, Deon Stephens, says the consignment volume reflects the massive demand for truck transport that began soon after Covid lockdowns.��

��

“Trucking and the trucking industry really proved its value across New Zealand during and after the Covid period, and that demand has only continued to grow.��

��

“Responding to the demand from our customers for trucks was subsequently compounded by the supply and logistics issues experienced worldwide, but this record-breaking consignment goes some way to meeting that pent-up demand. Plus we still have a significant amount of units due to arrive before the end of the year.��

��

“Our many customers - from single truck owner-operators to large fleet operators - can’t wait to get behind the wheel of their new vehicles,” says Stephens.��

��

��*����������� has held #1 in market share for Heavy Trucks (Gross Vehicle Mass >16,000 kg) in NZ for the last three years��
