The instantly recognisable green and white paint scheme and signage of Taranaki’s Uhlenberg Haulage receives a subtle - and retro themed - detail change on the fleet’s most recent addition.

A new Kenworth T909 6x4 began its working life in early January, extending a long association with the Kenworth marque for the Eltham-based company which was founded in 1966 by Mike and Carol Uhlenberg.

The company is now operated by their three sons Chris, Daryl and Tony and it will be third generation family member, Blair Uhlenberg (son of Chris), who drives the new T909.

The original Uhlenberg Haulage Kenworth – a cabover K921 - was imported second-hand from the UK in 1968. Then, in 1974 a W924 became the first brand-new Kenworth to go to work in the Uhlenberg fleet.
