TRL was established in October 2017 which came about from the amalgamation of three companies which successfully grew out of Invercargill, Gore, Cromwell, Dunedin and Christchurch. TRL’s Blenheim workshops are modern with state of the art equipment and facilities. TRL’s Blenheim Dealership is conveniently located at Riverlands Roadhouse.

Meanwhile, two major changes take place in the Taranaki region starting from from January 15, 2021. 

Egmont Diesel Services Limited (EDS), Inglewood, have been appointed the Kenworth and DAF service dealer for Taranaki.

Founded by Alvin and Emma Hunt in 2009, Egmont Diesel Service has grown to ten staff who are all NZ trained technicians. 

The business recently moved to a 1000sqm workshop conveniently located with good access from Highway 3 and 3A. Supported by Southpac Trucks, the business is well positioned to extend for Kenworth and DAF truck servicing in the region.

Additionally, Southpac Trucks are committed to supplying the Taranaki transport industry with a full range of parts with the opening of a TRP branch in Bell Block, Taranaki on January 15, 2021. 

TPR currently operate parts branches in Auckland, Hamilton, Rotorua, Palmerston North and Christchurch.

The Taranaki addition brings a nationwide coverage of six branches and Southpac says it strives to offer a complete package and place a huge emphasis on parts to assist owners with the best possible uptime.
