Conroy Removals has welcomed a FAW JH6 truck to its fleet – one of only six currently operating in New Zealand.
FAW stands for First Automotive Works, a globally established brand with a strong reputation for building tough, reliable trucks. Popular across markets such as Eastern Europe and South Africa, FAW is now making its mark in New Zealand with this next-generation heavy vehicle.
Why FAW?
When assessing options beyond the European and Japanese trucks that make up the rest of the Conroy fleet, several factors stood out:
- Competitive pricing
- Strong warranty offering
- Positive international reviews
- Reliable back-up service and parts availability
- Modern technology and performance
- A manufacturer actively investing in the NZ market
Truck Specs at a Glance
- 550 horsepower
- To Tow any Trailer including B-Double configurations
- Up to 70-tonne towing capacity
Conroy Removals Founding Director, David Conroy, says the team was keen to see how the truck performed in real-world conditions.
“It had its maiden voyage this week and our driver, Colin, was rapt with it. Plenty of power – especially on the hills – and it’s quiet, comfortable, smooth to drive, and handles exceptionally well.”
The FAW JH6 will service both domestic and commercial operations, helping improve efficiency and turnaround times for a wide range of Conroy customers.
Now the most powerful truck in the Conroy fleet, the FAW joins a lineup still largely made up of Japanese and European vehicles – adding diversity, capability, and future-focused technology.
Built for the NZ Market
These trucks are being introduced to New Zealand filling a gap left by the absence of suitable cab-over International truck in the global market. The result is a heavy vehicle designed with New Zealand conditions and operators in mind.
Adding the FAW JH6 to the fleet reflects Conroy Removals’ commitment to innovation, performance, and staying ahead of the curve – always looking for smarter ways to deliver better service to customers.
