Ram Trucks Australia has just put the finishing touches on its 20,000th right-hand drive pick-up.
In a market dominated by utes, Ram Trucks Australia has just put the finishing touches on its 20,000th right-hand drive pick-up.
In this case, a flagship TRX model, sporting a 6.2 litre V-8 Hemi, finished in an eye-catching Hydro Blue.
It marks the 10th anniversary of the relationship between RAM and the Ateco Group, the world’s only authorised manufacturer of right-hand drive RAMs that began in 2013. Each pick-up arrives from the United States into RAM’s Melbourne manufacturing facility, where they are converted to right-hand drive for the Australian and New Zealand markets.
“RAM is one of our best known and strongest brands in the USA, so we are really proud to see it here in Australia,” said Carl Smiley, chief operating officer, India & Asia Pacific at Stellantis.
“The Ateco Group are great partners to have in this project – the quality of right-hand drive trucks is testament to the teamwork between those on the ground here in Australia and those back in the US.”
The Australian operation has been recently ramped-up to meet a record demand. This saw here in New Zealand 27 units sold in January, to bring the total to 1,170 right-hand units of North American muscle currently on NZ roads.
Recently released in New Zealand and a sponsor of New Zealand Fieldays, the JAC (“Jack”) T9’s positioning as a reliable workhorse for Kiwi tradies has been reinforced by the remarkable achievement overseas that shattered a 24-hour Endurance Record for commercial vehicles.
While it wouldn’t be unfair to call the LDV T60 “the poor man’s ute”, a change of distributor in 2023 has seen the brand raise its profile, while the recent arrival of the new LDV T60 Max Plus, will undoubtedly open the door to a wider audience for the brand.
Ford New Zealand has announced the addition of the Everest Tremor as a rugged and capable expansion of its hugely popular SUV family, said to offer improved offroad capabilities, without compromising on towing capacity or on-road comfort.
While the LDV brand has been available in New Zealand for a number of years, it’s typically been recognised as a second tier offering. That has started to change after distribution passed to the Inchcape Group in 2023, who are on a trajectory to improve that public perspective, and in due course, push sales upwards.
