In the March edition of TransportTalk we look at CablePrice’s two big deals to take on sales and service agreements for Daimler Trucks and Fuso NZ for South Island operations.
The agreements mean CablePrice will be authorised to sell and service the full range of Mercedes-Benz, Freightliner and Fuso trucks from April 1.
TransportTalk attended Southpac Trucks’ recent roadshow for the new DAF Euro 6 range which is now landing in the country. We take a look at the new models and see what they have to offer customers.
General Motors shocked the automotive market with news it will be ditching the Holden brand. TransportTalk hears it will be business as usual for Isuzu Trucks which were distributed by Holden NZ.
We also hear from those in the industry about what its exit means for dealerships with some slamming the quick departure saying they have been left high and dry.
The freight industry is on high alert as the coronavirus outbreak continues to spread around the world. We hear from leaders about the flow on effects this is having on business and for some sectors such as logging where jobs are now on the line.
Meanwhile, we take a look at the new LDV EV80 refrigerated van which Sanford is using for seafood distribution around Auckland city.
It’s the first electric refrigerated vehicle of its kind in the country and was partly funded through the Government’s Energy Efficiency and Conservation Authority (EECA).
