TR Group News

The world has changed amongst the Covid 19 pandemic, and here at TR Group we have had to adapt and move with the changes. The way we work has changed, we decided as a business to make the most of a difficult situation and to come out the other side of lockdown with a new appreciation for each other, the world we live in, and through new lenses we were able to see just how flexi ...

Slowly but surely, New Zealand is recovering from the effects of COVID-19. We’re proud of what our country’s accomplished in fighting the pandemic and as we recover together and demand increases, having a truck or trailer ready to go to meet demand might be just what you need.

The safety and well-being of TR Group’s customers, suppliers, team members, and all New Zealanders is always our utmost priority. With the continued spread of COVID-19 throughout the world, we felt it was important to provide you with an update on our business operations and our commitment to supporting your business from a maintenance perspective through these uncertain times. TR Group is taking this situation seriously and we are doing all that we can to ensure your continued peace of mind regarding the supply of parts and services to our fleet.

Mack, the Hopeful Black Dog is TR Group’s initiative to give an expression of love and support for everyone who may be carrying a heavy load.

Slowly but surely, we’ve improved and evolv ...
