NZ Scania fire trucks are, for some reason, almost universally hated by the Fire and Emergency NZ dudes.
Apparently unreliable, can;t get parts, and chassis cracks are common. Apparently chronic air suspension issues, as well.
Often won't go when they need to...
I dunno, but I know past and present Fire and Emergency staff, and they've said that they'd be glad to have the old Dennis trucks or Internationals back. Even Hino has a better rep, apparently, but they aren't heavy enough, I'm told.
It seems weird to me - Scania has always been a good brand in my eyes. _ Maybe FENZ tried to save a few bucks, and under specced them?
Wouldn't surprise me.
I see Fonterra almost exclusively uses Volvos, at least in Northland - that must mean something, surely?
