Truckarchive is a multi-decade site dedicated to preserving New Zealand’s road-transport history.

It aims to save and archive our precious photographic and videographic material in order our stories be told.

 This is your website.

You can add to this store of knowledge.

You can upload and caption photos.

You can add to the store of any photograph by commenting.

We can create a private collection, self-managed or your collection can be added to the collective pool.

As an example, the video below – The CVC story behind the UD Trucks badge – could not have been made without the resources of the archive.

We had over 1,000 images, scans and bits and pieces, along with interviews to throw into the mix – and it may be that there is more material out there that can be added to this type of project.

Click on the links below to view some of the images that went into producing the video above.

These galleries can be added to. If you have a good, historic, interesting or unique image in jpg format – you can self load, and tell its story in the caption.
