Fresh on the Road for Steve Martin Contracting.

This new Kenworth K220 2.8 Aerodyne is now hard at work between Dunedin, Christchurch, and Central Otago.

Built with no detail overlooked, it features a Kentweld bullbar, Armoury chrome rims, cab stainless package, and a one-off GRC Car Audio sound system. A great effort from McCormick Motor Bodies, Timaru Signs, and the Southpac New Trucks team helped bring this stunning truck together.

A real credit to Steve's passion for trucks.

Thank you to Steve and Robyn for their continued support. We look forward to seeing this K220 out on the road.

Atlas Concrete has welcomed two new DAF FAT 6x4 Tippers to its fleet, further strengthening its capability to deliver aggregate and quarry products throughout the region.

Handed over in front of Atlas Concrete's striking new headquarters in Takapuna, these purpose-built units combine performance, safety, and efficiency. Power comes from the proven PACCAR MX-13 530hp engine, paired with the latest DAF driver assistance and safety technologies.

A big shoutout to Transport Trailers, who built both combinations. One unit features a Hardox steel tipping bin and matching 5-axle steel trailer, while the second is fitted with an alloy tipping bin and matching 5-axle alloy trailer, creating two impressive setups ready for the job ahead.

Congratulations to Graham Collie, Gurjinder, Matt, and the wider Atlas Concrete team on the arrival of these new trucks. Thank you for choosing Southpac Trucks and DAF.

90,000 trucks. More than 55 years of Australasian manufacturing. One incredible journey.

KENWORTH Australia has reached an extraordinary milestone, delivering the 90,000th Kenworth designed and built at its Bayswater plant in Melbourne.

For us here in New Zealand, this milestone holds special significance.
Every new Kenworth delivered to a Kiwi operator begins its journey at Bayswater, designed, engineered and manufactured specifically for the demanding conditions found across this part of the world.

Kenworth recognised Australasia as an important market and made a long term commitment to manufacturing locally.
That investment has created trucks tailored to our roads, our industries and the harsh environments our operators work in every day.

The milestone truck, a T909 built for McColls Transport, represents more than a production number. It reflects generations of skilled people, continuous innovation and an unwavering commitment to performance, durability and reliability.

From everyone at Southpac Trucks, congratulations to the entire PACCAR Australia and Kenworth team, and thank you for having New Zealand along for the ride.

Here’s to the people behind the badge, the operators who put their trust in it and the road to 100,000.

Congratulations, Kenworth Australia.

Continuing a transport legacy more than 70 years in the making, a new DAF CF530 tanker joins the Waharoa Transport (1995) Ltd fleet.

With roots dating back to 1955, Waharoa Transport continues to invest in modern equipment while building on a proud family legacy that spans generations.

Powered by a PACCAR MX-13 delivering 530hp and 1920 lb-ft, paired with a Traxon 16-speed AMT, this CF530 is built for efficient performance on the road.

Disc brakes and a comprehensive safety package, including Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Departure Warning and Autonomous Emergency Braking, help keep safety front of mind.

Completed with a new Patchell stainless tanker, it makes for a clean and capable combination ready for the job ahead.

A special handover for Glen Clothier as he receives the keys to the latest addition to the fleet.
