We certianly do, there was a big write up on them in a recent trucking mag.
But they not common, to expensive for most operators here.
The majority of our truck are either European, or Japanese/European.
The small amount of US stuff we have is either very old, or very specialist heavy haulage.
Otherwise they are simply to big and heavy for our roads.

we get a few of them here, mostly we have the european trucks, well obviously.

we don't get many US trucks, being a RHD country. is NZ RHD too? i know Oz is.

We are more Britsh than most British colonies thank you. Up untill the late 70s the majority of cars were all of good English stock.

Hino and Mitsi are virtualy the samething now, Hinos seem to be stripped down Fighters and Shoguns. Mitsi Trucks has also just rebranded itself here as FUSO.

Ok, good news, i don't have to remove the rear dampers. I mixed up the EPA- tractor with the A- tractor. So the only thing to do is plug the tranny (RPMS on the governor)
