Action and Experience

What's happening outside at Fleet Days?

The outdoor experience is where things shift gears from talk to action. From test driving light and heavy vehicles to live demos, high-performance machines, and surprises you won't see at a typical conference.

Test Drive Track

Back by popular demand, the test drive track lets you get behind the wheel of the light vehicles, or jump in the cab as a passenger in heavy vehicles to see how they perform. Compare options. Ask questions.

You will need a current NZ drivers licence to participate.

4x4 Off-Road Track

New

The 4x4 track is designed to put vehicles through their paces off-road in the kind of terrain many fleets deal with day to day.

High Performance Ride Zone

Jump in the passenger seat for a spin in one of the high-end vehicles on show. Driven by professionals who know how to get the most out of them.

Outdoor Exhibition

Fleet Day has grown, and so has the exhibition. This year, we are creating space outdoors for more vehicles, more suppliers and more of the equipment and tech that keeps fleets moving.

Heavy Vehicle Showcase

More brands, more trucks and more opportunities to get up close to the machines that power New Zealand's transport backbone.

Live Action

Adrenaline-pumping and full throttle, these live demonstrations are not just for show. They highlight the performance, safety, and rapid decision making required to operate in high-pressure, real-world environments.
