The New Zealand transport registrations for the month of June reveal much the same themes as the previous quarter, and also continue to reflect the trends of 2025.

June 2026 monthly registrations (trucks 4.5 tonnes GVM and above) of 310 units lift the year-to-date (YTD) total to 1762. The June total is the second highest month for 2026 (March registrations totalled 341 units) and YTD the market is now fractionally ahead of the 1759 registrations for the corresponding half-year period in 2025.

The trailer market, with 88 registrations in June, shows a lift over the same month last year, when 76 new trailers were registered. It’s the equal-best month for trailers to date in 2026 (March also saw 88 registrations) but remains well behind 2018’s all-time best June monthly total of 164.

The overall new truck market leader for June is Isuzu, with 60 registrations for the month and now 322 YTD.

Second place is Hino (YTD 238/June 33) while Fuso (205/45) remains in third.  Scania (184/37) retains fourth, while Volvo (130/26) is next followed by Iveco (115/8). Mercedes-Benz (105/13) retains seventh position followed by Kenworth (76/15), UD (69/11), and DAF (67/15) to round out the top-10 brands.

In the 3.5-4.5t GVM crossover segment, Fiat reached 149 units YTD by adding 27 for the month and holds the top spot ahead of Mercedes-Benz (77/13) and third placed LDV (68/27).

In the light-duty 4.5-7.5t truck category, Isuzu (108/20) is strengthening its lead, well  ahead of Iveco (72/5), Hino (67/8), Fuso (65/14), Mercedes-Benz (52/3), Foton (39/2), and Hyundai (29/5).

Isuzu (122/23) also continues to dominate the 7.5-15t segment, with Fuso (70/14) a long way behind in second but moving ahead of Hino (69/7).

In the 15-20.5t segment, Hino (29/5) retains the top spot ahead of Isuzu (18/6) and Fuso (12/3) is third.

In the very small 20.5-23t segment there were four registrations for the month of June. Hino (6/2) remains at the top ahead of Scania (4/2) and Isuzu (2/0).

In the 23t to maximum GVM premium category, Scania (175/34) continues to dominate with 34 registrations for the month of June, and retains number one ranking with 175 registrations YTD.

Volvo (129/26) and Kenworth (76/15) are next with Isuzu (72/11) retaining fourth ahead of Hino (67/11) and DAF (65/13). UD (58/10) and Fuso (58/14) are now tied in seventh, followed by Mercedes-Benz (52/10) and Iveco (32/1) – retaining their positions month-on-month to round out the top-10.

In the June trailer market, Fruehauf (86/31) had an incredible month with 31 registrations to boost its lead in the market for both monthly registrations and YTD. Fruehauf’s strong month represents a 35% share of the June market and 20% of the trailer segment YTD.

Patchell (53/1) retains second ahead of Roadmaster (40/7) while TES (25/4) moves ahead of Domett (24/1) and Fairfax (24/6). Transport Trailers (23/3) moves into seventh ahead of TMC (21/4). M.T.E (16/1), Transfleet (15/5), and CWS (11/3), complete the top-10 brands YTD.
