R D Petroleum - 9th Oct 2023

RD Petroleum have recently moved there UD Truck CW470 on and put Pete into this stunning new Truck and Trailer unit to service Doubtful Sound Tourist and Fishing fleet based at Deep Cove. UD Trucks GW-460as features all the usual safety spec’s along side a full lock up back end, and Automated Transmission to handle the toughest of conditions. Pete saves on RUC’s as his unit its Barged across Lake Manapouri before he navigates over the 22km Wilmot Pass at 671m. Rain fall here is measured in metres where the annual rain fall is around 7m. In 1964 when this road was built it is reported to cost back then $80 per square meter and several lives were lost during construction. The only road in New Zealand not connected to the network. Pete has no time spare as he needs to be back at West Arm, Lake Manapouri for the return Barge trip across the Lake. When not delivering fuel into the middle of Fiordland Pete can be seen around Southland completing deliveries to the Rural operators. Thankyou RD Petroleum for choosing CVC and UD Trucks.
