In a country where the heavy transport industry is essential to keeping goods and services moving, a reliable fuel supply is more than a convenience – it’s a necessity.
From long-haul trucking to regional deliveries, the sector relies on consistent access to high-quality fuel and responsive customer support to stay on the road and on schedule. Companies like NPD, with its trusted reputation and customer-first approach, are driving the industry forward – offering not just fuel, but peace of mind for fleet operators across New Zealand.
NPD has built a strong reputation as a trusted fuel supplier, delivering high-quality fuel throughout New Zealand with an extensive retail network of sites.
With more than 50 years in business, NPD has deep roots in Nelson and the South Island.
As a 100% New Zealand-owned family business, NPD operates more than 100 sites nationwide – with a rapidly growing presence in the North Island, now at 16 sites.
The company’s retail network includes a mix of high-traffic refuelling locations, strategically positioned to support the needs of everyday drivers and commercial fleets, including those requiring higher volume refuelling solutions. Whether located along major transport routes or in regional areas, NPD’s network is expanding to meet New Zealand’s increasing demand for reliable fuelling solutions.
“With the addition of commercial tanks on site, many of our customers are equipped to handle high-volume refuelling for transport companies and heavy vehicles,” says Barry Sheridan, CEO of NPD.
Reliable and efficient fleet
At the core of NPD’s supply chain is its efficient delivery fleet, which features high-performance Scania trucks.
“We own a large fleet of modern Scania truck and trailer units, ensuring a consistent and reliable fuel supply for our customers,” says Barry.
“These state-of-the-art vehicles are known for their reliability, fuel efficiency and advanced technology – helping to maintain a smooth, uninterrupted supply of fuel across the country.
“Highly skilled and professional drivers ensure deliveries are made safely and on time, keeping our customers moving without delay.”
Wholesale lubricants, additives and fleet management solutions
Beyond fuel, NPD is a wholesale lubricant supplier for Castrol, offering high-quality lubricants to the transport, agriculture and industrial sectors.
“Our partnership with Castrol gives customers access to premium engine oils and maintenance products that enhance vehicle performance and longevity,” says Barry.
To support the needs of the transport industry, NPD offers AdBlue diesel exhaust fluid at selected locations, helping reduce emissions in modern diesel engines and promoting cleaner, more efficient fleet operations.
A future built on reliability and growth
As NPD continues to expand rapidly in the North Island, Barry affirms that its commitment to reliable service remains unwavering.
“With a growing network, highly skilled professional drivers, premium fuel and lubricant supply, NPDcard and fleet management solutions, NPD is dedicated to fuelling the success of New Zealand’s motorists, transport and commercial sectors,” says Barry.
“Whether you’re managing a national fleet or driving long-haul routes, you can count on NPD to keep you moving.”
