All existing parts and service dealership agreements were also transferred to IVECO Trucks New Zealand.

Newly appointed General Manager of IVECO Trucks New Zealand, Kevin Smith was previously CEO of Fruehauf Trailers, and has most recently moved from General Manager at Plumbing World to his new role with IVECO.
