Auckland will see its first Truck and Machinery Show in more than two decades next month as part of Big Boys Toys at ASB Showgrounds from November 7 to 9.
Penske, Western Star, MAN, Mack, Volvo, Renault and Intertruck, will be displaying new trucks alongside a showcase of vintage trucks and custom American pick ups.
Big Boys Toys exhibition director Sandra Beacham says it will be an exciting new attraction.
“This is the first Truck and Machinery show in Auckland for a while, and we’ve ensured that all the trucks being showcased are awe-inspiring, so trucking professionals and enthusiasts, as well as general automotive fans, will be enthralled with what’s on display,” she says.
The Truck and Machinery show will feature items from Bill Hohepa’s Vintage Truck show, where 50 unique and rare rigs from across the country are to be showcased. Owners will be on hand to speak to show visitors, and to answer information and provide interesting facts about the history of each truck.
The event will be filmed as part of Hohepa’s own local TV show, The Low Gear Show, a TV series that looks at vintage and classic trucks around New Zealand.
The USA Haulers Club will also display 30 classic American pick ups.
The Truck and Machinery Show will also showcase rarely seen industrial machinery.
