Come and see New Zealand’s best value semi tractor at the Eroad Fleet Days at Mystery Creek, August 5th and 6th.
This one kindly on loan from Foodstuffs North Island, a second one will also be on display in the customers special livery.
The 1060hp Zeron 600kWh semi tractor can now be ordered for delivery in March 2027 with a 54t GCM, or an optional 70t GCM rating. The tare weight increases 400kg to allow for the higher rating.
Our first 15t XC948EV wheel loader is in our yard, soon to have Ensign log forks fitted. This is the state of the art for EV wheel loaders with no transmission and virtually silent piston pump hydraulics. A big step ahead of the competitors.
The driver will be pretty cheerful in this environment. Our first loader with three levers rather than joystick and a console switch for FNR. The halo view cameras are next level with proximity alerts. Joystick steering is optional.
If you need a bigger one Fortescue’s 126t operating weight XC9260EV is now in testing. The largest battery electric loader in the world.

Where will all the electricity come from in New Zealand? This is a Transpower pic of the new grid supply that came on line in the last 12 months. In the next twelve months it will be 900MW. For reference Manapouri is 800MW
Some on highway platooning for a couple of flathead Deepways with the second truck autonomously coping with traffic lights, toll booths and other vehicle traffic.

Do aerodynamics matter in heavy trucks? It can certainly make a difference in energy use as in video of the two cab options on the Deepway, but does that trump the lost deck length?
We are currently working with NZTA to allow longer overall length for BEV heavy trucks in New Zealand.
Then you can have the efficiency gain, without the cargo loss pain.
