Scania New Zealand

This new R660 B8x4NA Logger was recently handed over to Nikita & Brett at Madstar Trucking, where it'll be hauling for Pan Pac around Central Hawkes Bay. This rig is built tough with 660hp 3300nm torque, 14-speed AMT with 4700 retarder, disc brakes and driver safety features including ACC & AEB. The EXTE chain tensioners on the 5-axle multi-trailer make for efficient loading and unloading, while the offset rims give this rig the clearance and stability it needs to handle forestry roads. It's one awesome piece of kit!

Truckie of the Month, Spike, had been driving for a few decades before he got behind the wheel of his first Scania - this brand new 560 G series in the PTS LOGISTICS LIMITED -limited fleet. Spike says he's usually had teething problems with other new trucks, but this Scania has run like clockwork since its first day on the road. Spike does a lot of on-farm deliveries so torque and traction are important and he says this rig hasn't let him down yet. Neither has his local Scania service centre. Spike told us that he has very high standards when it comes to keeping his rig clean and that it always comes back spotless. Welcome to the Scania family, Spike!

The Drury New Vehicle Preparation team is all about getting new trucks ready for their owners. Around half of the trucks they work on are customised, so there's always plenty to do. It’s a tight-knit crew of 24, including 8-10 techs and digitalisation specialists, working closely with our pre-sales, sales teams, and third-party suppliers to deliver each truck on time and to spec. Got a new Scania in the pipeline? Chances are the Drury team is working on it for you.

Why have one when you can have two? David from Elsworth Fertiliser Spreading has just added a second P450 B4x4HZ rig to his fleet. This rig is made for New Zealand and our unique off-road conditions, with clutch on demand, parabolic leaf suspension front & rear, Bigfoot CTI, TRS wide wheels and curtain airbags. It's a rig that's built to work hard, just like David and his team who operate around the Reperoa region.

Every business is unique, which is why our trucks can be customised to meet your unique business needs. From the complexities of milk collection and running auxiliary equipment off the engine for Open Country Dairy Ltd, to dual-purpose vehicles for Symons Group that turn from a tractor unit into a rigid hauler in a matter of hours, our team will work with you to design the best fleet for your business.

We go the extra mile when it comes to making our trucks comfortable because we know a comfortable truck makes going the extra mile easier for you. From superior suspension systems and ergonomic cabin and seating design to quiet interiors, advanced climate control, and spacious accommodation areas, your comfort is our top priority. And it seems you’ve noticed, with 39% of you voting our trucks number one* for comfort (for the second year running). *Nationwide online 2024 survey by NZ Trucking magazine with 1000 respondents – made up of heavy truck drivers, owner/operators, or employees of a heavy truck brand. Volvo came in second for comfort at 20%, followed by Kenworth at 10%.

This new 16-Litre 770hp Euro 6 might look plain on the outside, but it's packed full of custom features to meet the needs of the team at PR Logistics. Set up to tow various trailers from Refer quads to 6 axle curtain and flat deck B trains, this truck is also packed full of driver safety features (EBX/ABS/ACC/LDW & AEB) and has a factory fifth wheel, toolbox setup, twin tail lights and a light bar with spot lamps. The V8 leather-trimmed cab is packed with features too, like a fridge, microwave and coffee machine to keep drivers comfortable on the long haul.

Lance says he was born into the trucking industry, following in the footsteps of his dad who has been driving for 45 years. Lance says it's a dream come true to drive with his dad at Alexander Group NZ and while he didn't get to choose what he drives, the G540 Flatroof Sleeper Cab Scania he has been given is 'next level.' Keep on chasing that white line, Lance!
