Clouds and blue skies were definitely paid actors today. ☀️
Days like this make it hard to walk past the mould shop without stopping for a look.

Lined up and getting ready for life on the road, these Fairfax Premiere units are the result of countless hours of design, engineering and craftsmanship. While they may look impressive on the outside, it’s what’s built into them that really sets them apart, from seamless one-piece moulded construction and Fairfax Superfloor technology to industry-leading thermal efficiency designed specifically for New Zealand conditions.

Before long, they’ll be travelling the country helping Kiwi businesses keep things moving. But today, they’re enjoying their moment in the sun.😎

Always good to hear our industry from one of our very own legend.

John Stevens was on the Keep on Moving NZ Trucking Podcast last week, and it was great to hear the Fairfax story as well as our mates at Freighter and their journey.

It’s a nice reminder of what strong collaboration looks like, good people, shared standards, and a real focus on getting the job right 🤝

The latest Fairfax Signature to roll out of the factory is already making its mark on New Zealand roads. 🚛

This 8.3m Fairfax Signature has left the factory and is on its way, supporting the journeys that keep New Zealand moving.

Some things don’t just stand the test of time… they evolve with it. 👉

The Fairfax Premiere has been part of New Zealand’s cold-chain story for over five decades, and while the technology, materials and roads may have changed, the thinking behind it never has: build it stronger, smarter, and ready for the long haul.

What started in the 1970s as a uniquely New Zealand-made refrigerated body has grown into one of the most recognisable and trusted solutions on our roads today.

From the early days of moulded body innovation to the modern Premiere range engineered for durability, insulation performance and demanding fleet operations, every generation has pushed the standard forward.

And honestly? There’s something pretty special about looking back at where it all started.

Your trusted fleet partner, then and now. 🚛

Big test days like this are what our Fairfax Signature trailers are built for 💪

The NZ Truck & Driver team recently put the first Kenworth T620 Aero Sleeper (8x4 tractor) on the road in New Zealand through its paces, paired perfectly with a Fairfax Signature quad semi from the Northchill fleet.

From long-haul refinement to real-world performance, this unit proved itself over a full day of testing.

Proud to see a Fairfax Signature trailer rolling as part of such an impressive setup.
