Outgro –
Scania P420
Outgro Bio Agricultural Ltd took delivery of its first new
Scania P420 tanker this year. The rapidly successful
recent start up company has grown steadily on the back
of an innovative business model focused on providing
biological answers to sustained long-term healthy
paddock growth. Feilding-based, the mobility of the
company’s growing Scania fleet allows staff to travel the
entire North Island applying the special fertiliser via a
combination of truck and helicopter. The 420hp Scania
tanker features an in-built stirring system to keep the
fertiliser in suspension until application, as well as a
helipad and storage for water and fuel.
Road Haulage –
Scania R620
Road Haulage Ltd put a new Scania R620 8x4 into its Te Awamutu-based stock
transport fleet this year. The V8 620hp features a sleeper cab, manual transmission,
Jackson trailer and deck and Total stock crates. The company carts sheep and beef
throughout the North Island. The R620 is the sixth V8 Scania for co-owners Peter and
son, Hayden Jones, and business partner Warren Whittaker. Hayden says the R620
is “a brilliant truck” and goes on to say they’ve stayed with Scania due largely to the
great service they get through sales rep James Worsnop, as well as the service back up
they get from CablePrice and the ScanPlan Max24 repair and maintenance contract.
Brausch Trucking Ltd –
Scania R480
This is the first R Series Scania for Brausch Trucking. The company has this smart
looking Scania R480 LA 6x4 MNA pulling a Maxicube quad trailer. Driver, Francis, is
enjoying the normal Scania luxuries and the rig is certainly turning the heads on the
road, in the Brausch blue and the unique sign writing on the trailer. This Scania is one
of the exclusive few with the Svempa packages brought into New Zealand.
