New arrivals of heavy trucks (over 3500kg GVM) in June 2015 were the lowest since January 2015, while used imported light commercials (under 3500kg GVM) saw the highest number landed on our ports so far this year.
According to motor vehicle statistics provided by New Zealand Customs there were 233 new heavy truck arrivals and 473 used light commercial arrivals.
Year to date 1500 new heavy trucks (over 3500kg GVM) have arrived in New Zealand.
Used heavy vehicle (over 3500kg GVM) arrivals remained in double figures with 79 units crossing the wharves.
New light commercial vehicle (under 3500kg GVM) arrivals continue to remain strong with 2460 units arriving in June.
Year-to-date 16,629 new light commercials have landed in New Zealand, no doubt buoyed by the strong local economy and the demand from the construction and agricultural sectors.
