LDV Partners with CONZTRUCT Event Series

LDV New Zealand is proud to announce it is the official vehicle partner of the 2024 CONZTRUCT event series. This is New Zealand’s largest travelling trade show for the building and construction industry.

As part of the partnership, LDV is giving every CONZTRUCT attendee a chance of winning the CONZTRUCT LDV T60 ute, fitted with a canopy.

Moreover, the limited edition LDV T60 Traverse ute will make its debut at the opening CONZTRUCT event in Rotorua today. It will be on display throughout the event series.

Attracting thousands of trade professionals, CONZTRUCT runs from June to November and is one of New Zealand’s premier trade events. Entry is free to the sixteen shows hosted from Whangarei to Invercargill.

LDV New Zealand’s General Manager, Kym Mellow, says CONZTRUCT is the perfect partnership for commercial vehicle brand LDV.

“LDV offers New Zealand’s largest range of commercial vehicles to keep Kiwi businesses moving. CONZTRUCT provides an opportunity for the LDV team to interact with potential customers who have a need for practical vehicles.”

“Our LDV range is the perfect fit for the building and construction industry – we have a model to match every trade. From our wide range, LDV offers fit-for-purpose vehicles for the bulk of CONZTRUCT’s attendees. We can also assist with customising vehicles to suit your needs,” Mellow says.

“The T60 ute that one lucky CONZTRUCT attendee will win, is the ultimate work horse. We will also have LDV vans and utes on display at each CONZTRUCT location for show attendees to explore. The LDV team will be on hand to answer any questions. They are also there to help you understand how LDV can assist with your business vehicle needs,” Mellow added.

LDV T60 Traverse Details

CONZTRUCT will also see the first public reveal of the all-new limited edition LDV T60 Traverse. This is a limited edition ute, only 150 of which will be available in New Zealand. This off-road-oriented vehicle is inspired by the intrepid nature of the infamous central North Island track, the 42 Traverse. It is known as one of the best and most challenging multi-use tracks in the North Island. The wilderness mountain bike ride, tramping track and summer-access-only 4WD track follow old logging routes. They wind through a spectacular valley amidst regenerating native bush with epic views of the volcanoes.

The tough LDV T60 Traverse features 160kW of power and 480Nm of torque, a bullbar, roof-mounted platform, DTM wheels, all terrain tyres and a snorkel. There are also weather shields and bonnet protector.

It is purpose built to handle the tricky rutted sections that adventurers encounter on the 42 Traverse. The LDV T60 TRAVERSE colour range is Grey, Black and White.

The T60 Traverse also goes on display this week at the Fieldays at Mystery Creek. There, LDV will reveal full pricing and specification details.

Ian Watt, General Manager of The CMS Group, the parent company behind CONZTRUCT, welcomes LDV New Zealand on-board as a partner for this much-loved event, which is now in its ninth year.

“CMS very much values the relationship with LDV and is pleased to be working with a quality brand that is committed to growing its exposure in the building and construction industries.”

“The role of CMS is connecting both sides of the industry through trade events or online platforms. Everything we do revolves around connecting and educating the industry,” Watts said.

The 2024 CONZTRUCT shows features more than 50 leading industry suppliers, show-only specials, apprentices in action and test and try products.

Shows are open from 4pm-7pm, including stand interaction from start to finish, (3:30pm-7pm for the two Auckland shows and Wellington).
