A final calculation of funds raised has yet to be announced, but an early count will assure the three main community groups – the Franklin Hospice, Leukemia Blood Cancer Foundation, and the Bombay Rugby Club – will receive at least $40,000 each from last weekend’s Transfleet Trailers/ Allied Petroleum Bombay Truck Show.

The third Bombay show was a massive success with thousands of enthusiasts and families enjoying ideal weather, varied entertainment, and a huge line-up of trucks on show.

A total of 465 trucks assembled for the UDC Finance Show & Shine. Notable winners included Hamilton’s Hanes Transport, with its standout line-up of blue and silver trucks taking out the Best Fleet prize sponsored by Rock & Rubble.

The Best Classic prize sponsored by Mainline Distribution was won by Shayler’s ERF and the Hendrickson People’s Choice winner was the meticulously restored Diamond T Texaco Tanker.

There was plenty of competition for the Peter Black Memorial Cup awarded to the Best Local Fleet and the 2025 winner was Pukekohe Carriers.

A new award this year in memory of Bombay Truck Show founding committee member Lance Peach was a trophy for the Rig of the Show. Cambridge-based C&R Developments claimed the prize.

Impressive new truck displays were put together by Southpac Trucks, Iveco, and Isuzu. InterTruck Distributors had two new models creating plenty of interest – the new International HX and the FAW H6 tractor unit, the forerunner to a range of new models from the Chinese marque.

A final announcement of money raised and cheque presentations to the three community groups is planned for February.
