Continued investment in Great Gear has seen Allied Petroleum recently take delivery of two new trucks to join our modern fleet.

At the smaller end of the scale, the first addition is our new DMR (Direct Machine Refuelling) unit, joining the fleet in Christchurch. It is a 4×2 Volvo 320HP unit, with a 7,500 load capacity.

The increase in large scale civil contracting and construction projects happening in the wider Canterbury region has seen a growing demand for our DMR services within the region. These smaller units enable us to deliver fuel directly to each individual piece of machinery on site working remotely, saving them the travel to and from a refuelling station.

At the other end of the scale, the next new addition is the largest tanker in our Allied Petroleum fleet. Joining the fleet up in Auckland is our new 23 metre six-axle HPMV B-Train.

The tractor unit is an FH Volvo 540HP. The two trailers will be able to tow a combined capacity of up to 58 tonnes, allowing us to transport loads of up to 54,000 litres of fuel.

Look out for our new Great Gear on the roads!

Allied Petroleum is pleased to announce the completion of the redevelopment work at our Sheffield Fuel Stop, at 81 Main West Coast Road. A forecourt closure was required due to the significant construction work involved.

As part of the upgrade, the existing building was demolished on site as to increase the size of the forecourt and to ensure improved vehicle access in and out. New equipment has been installed, and alongside 91, 95 petrol and diesel being available, we have also introduced a new product; Alliedblue, an exhaust fluid needed for an increasing number of modern diesel vehicles travelling on our roads.

We would like to thank the local community for their patience over recent months, and look forward to welcoming customers back onto the forecourt for an improved refueling experience.
