NZ Commercial Distributors, formerly known as Fuso New Zealand, has officially taken over as the national distributor for Mercedes-Benz Vans in New Zealand.

NZCD now oversees full distribution and dealer aftersales support, ensuring seamless continuity for Mercedes-Benz Vans customers across the country.

This transition in the local commercial vehicle landscape follows close collaboration with Mercedes-Benz New Zealand, Mercedes-Benz Vans Australia/Pacific and the 34-strong dealer network in New Zealand, along with key customers.

First announced in July this year, the move reflects a shared long-term vision between Keith Andrews Group and Mercedes-Benz Vans to enhance market agility and strengthen the brand’s footprint in New Zealand.

“This is a milestone we have prepared for with focus, energy and great respect for what the

Mercedes-Benz Vans brand represents,” said Darren Evans, chief executive officer of Keith Andrews Group.

“We are incredibly proud to take on this responsibility and excited about what we can deliver for the Mercedes-Benz Vans brand and dealer network across the country.

“Our proven expertise and local market knowledge ensure we are well positioned to build on the confidence placed in us to carry the brand into this new chapter.”

Diane Tarr, managing director of Mercedes‑Benz Vans Australia/Pacific, added, “We would like to thank everyone involved and recognise the outstanding collaboration that made this transition a success.

“With the Keith Andrews Group’s expertise and the Mercedes-Benz Vans dealer network’s ongoing commitment to exceptional service and customer experience, we are confident our customers and operations are well supported now and into the future.”
