Scania New Zealand has contracted Service Diesel as its new partner for the West Coast.

Based in Hokitika, Service Diesel is a local general cartage and freighting company that has been servicing the West Coast and Canterbury regions of New Zealand for almost 20 years.

The appointment of Service Diesel will see the closure of Scania Greymouth.

The new service dealer means customers will benefit from a larger site than previously, which means more capacity while also increasing the size of the Scania team on the coast – now with eight team members on board.
