10 years and 1.8 million kilometers on one set of curtains! 🚛
A true testament to the durability of our products!
Hats off to Colin Wallace and Stoney Ratema for keeping this truck in top shape over the years.
Our first Kenworth entered the fleet in 2014 & this was the one that paved the way for the rest & the Southpac relationship that followed.
This was possibly the first E5 in the South Island after the EGR (less desirable) engine??
At that stage , there was no option of an undermount exhaust on the 8-wheelers so we got a little creative at rerouting the tailpipe (it’s actually through the driver-side dummy air-intake) .
It’s been a terrific truck heading towards its 1.8 million kms & we are so looking for to getting a cosmetic refurbishment soon, a real credit to its 2x drivers over this period, Colin Wallace & Stoney Ratema.
