Halls Group is renowned for their attention to detail when specifying transport equipment, and it shows a strong confidence in the superiority of the Schmitz Cargobull Ferroplast product.

For several years now, the NZ transport market has been desperately seeking a credible alternative to the encumbent suppliers, who've until recently, almost had a monopoly on the refrigerated transport equipment market in NZ.

Such a significant order only a couple of months of Schmitz Cargobull being launched here in NZ must be some sort of record. It sends a strong signal.

In a first for New Zealand...

Trailer magazine quotes: "In an Asia-Pacific first, all semi-trailers will be fitted with Schmitz Cargobull’s own refrigeration unit, complete with the company’s factory telematics solution."

Being able to offer a well proven Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) temperature controlled transportation solution should provide a range of benefits to transport operators in NZ.

It's a game changer!

Congratulations! to the hard working team at Fruehauf NZ and Schmitz Cargobull. Well done!
