We Put Customers First. Always.

At Southpac Trucks, we’ve built our reputation on something simple: doing right by our customers, every time, without hesitation.

For over 40 years, we’ve supported New Zealand’s transport industry by standing behind the people who keep this country moving. Our growth hasn’t come from luck, or from big corporate layers, or from complicated processes. It’s come from looking after people, the drivers, the owner-operators, the fleet managers, and the businesses that rely on us every day.

When you work with Southpac, you’re not a number in a system. You’re someone we know, someone we back, and someone we treat like a partner.

Growth Driven by Genuine Service

Southpac has grown from a local distributor to New Zealand’s leading Kenworth and DAF network, with nine full-service branches and more on the way. That growth hasn’t come from shortcuts, it’s come from operators sharing good experiences and trust that keeps building.

A Company Built for the Long Haul

Southpac Trucks is part of the PACCAR global family, trusted by transport operators for nearly a century. But our strength isn’t in our size, it’s in our people, our culture, and the way we show up for customers every single day.

We’re proud of what we’ve built.
We’re even prouder of what our customers have built with us.

If you’re looking for a dealership that understands your industry, values your time, and treats you like a partner,
not paperwork, you’ve found the right team.
