Smith adds: “Detroit are a cornerstone of the Daimler product and KAT’s inclusion in the manufacturer’s approved dealer network adds further weight to its position as a Daimler specialist.
“Now, across the top of the North Island, Keith Andrews Trucks is the one-stop shop if an operator is looking for a Daimler solution.”
