Prime Minister Christopher Luxon visited TR Group headquarters on Friday, May 15, where the heavy vehicle rental and leasing company showcased its efforts to support lower-emissions transport solutions in New Zealand.
TR Group says the Prime Minister was briefed on the company’s sustainability initiatives and its work supporting the transport sector’s transition toward lower and zero-emissions technology.
Luxon commented on the scale and importance of New Zealand’s heavy vehicle sector.
“Today I saw firsthand the scale of one of New Zealand’s largest heavy vehicle fleets – and how critical it is to keeping the country moving.
“For businesses that run on diesel, global shocks hit hard.
“Greater energy independence isn’t optional anymore, and that means looking at every solution on the table.”
TR Group has been actively involved in alternative fuel and zero-emissions transport projects, including hydrogen fuel cell and battery electric heavy vehicle trials.
The company recently launched an end-to-end heavy fleet decarbonisation capability statement aimed at helping transport operators in New Zealand and Australia transition to lower- and zero-emission vehicles.
