MTU Detroit Diesel New Zealand says it continues to make strides to growth and is committed to expanding its local presence and capabilities.

“In Auckland, we have a great team of engine experts and factory-trained technicians who are dedicated to growing the business and supporting our customers, offering them the best service as part of our professional power people vision,” says Ward-Holmes.

MTU Detroit Diesel New Zealand has been representing the Detroit brand for more than 23 months and MTU for more than 14 months, and each month sales figures across brands and our various market segments continuing to grow.
