The Ultimate Southern Rig Showdown! - The Southland Transport Invercargill Truck Parade - 2026

The Southland transport industry turned it up to eleven for the 2026 Southland Transport Invercargill Truck Parade! Today, 25.10.2026, Labour Weekend Sunday, the streets of Invercargill were absolutely roaring as some of the finest, cleanest, and most powerful rigs in New Zealand took over the city. From the early-morning polish and public walk-through at the PGG Wrightson wool store yard to the massive 1:00 PM rollout down Bill Richardson Drive, Bond Street, and Tweed Street, this year's turnout was unbelievable. Watch as we catch heavy hitters from HWR (HW Richardson Group), massive fleets of Scania, Kenworth, Volvo, and Hino units, and everyday working rigs polished up to absolute perfection to compete for the ultimate King Rig title! Massive shoutout to Event Convenor Mark Purdue, the local volunteer committee, the sponsors, and all the drivers who worked around the clock to get these trucks looking pristine. Did your favourite truck make the cut? Let us know in the comments below! The winner - Andy Earnshaw took home Best Line Haul Truck with his immaculate R770 Open Country Scania! #InvercargillTruckParade #TruckShow #KiwiTrucking #SouthlandTransport #NewZealandTrucks #Kenworth #Scania #HeavyTransport #HWR #Invercargill #TruckSpotting
