The UDC Show & Shine will take place at the Teletrac Navman Awards Function on the Saturday night

The massive UDC Show & Shine, with more than 40 main prize categories and one-of-a-kind trophies. Get registering your trucks now; we’re aiming for 500 this year. Interislander is generously offering a 20% discount on truck ferry crossings for drivers from the North Island that want to bring their trucks down for the show.
We also have the BP classic trucks showcase. This is going to be a fantastic display and celebration of the industry’s history. If you have a classic truck hidden away in your shed, then dust off those cobwebs and bring it along.
The TR Group New Zealand Truck Driving Championships is a huge highlight of this year’s event, with a massive space dedicated to the three competition areas. This includes the EROAD Class 2, Spartan Finance Tractor-semi, and the Hydraulink Truck & Trailer competitions.
The Auckland heats will take place in the middle of the year, with a date TBC and the Christchurch heats will be held at the show on Friday, 25 November. There are fantastic prizes up for grabs.
The winner of each competition category will take home a unique trophy, $2500 cash, flights, tickets, and accommodation for the Brisbane Truck Show in 2023 and an awesome goodie bag. Runner-ups will take home $1000 cash.
The prizegiving for all the industry competitions and UDC Show & Shine will take place at the Teletrac Navman Awards Function on the Saturday night after the show. This starts from 5pm and is going to be a great evening, celebrating the end of a fantastic event, plus all those who competed and won in the championships.
Tickets are only $30, and for Show and Shine drivers, we have a special combo ticket, which is $30 and includes your truck entry, entry to the show, and the awards function. So, grab these tickets on Eventfinda now.
An exciting new competition this year is the Palfinger Truck-mounted crane championships. Proudly sponsored by Palfinger, they will be running a world-class competition, with heats on Friday and Saturday morning and finals on Saturday afternoon.
So, if you think you have what it takes to win, make sure you enter on the show website and come along to support these amazing operators. The Friday is a dedicated Trade Day.
So be sure to make the most of this opportunity to visit the huge sponsor and exhibitor displays on a slightly quieter day. It’s free to enter the show on Friday, but you still need to grab a free ticket on the Eventfinda website.
On Friday morning, from 9am to 1pm, the Careers Trucking Showcase will be taking place. High school students and adults looking for a career or pathway change are invited to come along and explore career opportunities in transport.
Sponsors and exhibitors have been invited to participate in this showcase and give visitors insight into what their business does, the career opportunities they have, and what they would need to get into the job.
This showcase is also free to attend, so register on our website and you will be sent all the information later in the year. We’re also running the huge all-terrain crane competition, dedicated to crane operators from Titans, Smiths, and Calder Stewart.
This is something that you do not get to see every day, so do not miss it. Saturday is our big public open day. Tickets for adults are just $10 and kids 18 and under are free. All show proceeds will be donated to charities, including Ronald McDonald House and Child Cancer.
This is a full family day out, so bring everyone along. We promise there will be something to keep you entertained all day. There will be a huge kid’s zone on the Saturday, with endless entertainment for the young ones.
All kids’ activities are free, including two massive bouncy castle trucks, one that’s a 22-metre long obstacle course, a nine-hole mini-golf course, a tyre obstacle course, an activities tent with colouring competitions, Road Safety Scooter Track, where kids can grab a pedal kart and race around the 50-metre track—learning about road safety as they go of course.
Kids can also vote for their favourite truck in the kids’ choice competition and hunt for treasure in the huge Road Metals sandpit. The Teletrac Navman Show Lawn is at the heart of the show and will be a fantastic place to chill, grab some food, listen to entertainment on stage, and watch the huge Monstavision screen.
The NTA Road Safety Truck will also be re-launching here, with the new young driver SafeT360 virtual reality programme ready to have a go. RC Haulers will have a full trucking village to show off their incredible radio control trucks on the Saturday.
This is always a crowd-pleaser with everyone amazed at how identical they look to the real thing. With more than 100 exhibiting companies and some massive display sites, come along and be wowed. Visit the website to download a show map and see who will be on display.
We cannot wait to welcome you to this massive show, so start gathering your people and lock in some plans for 25 and 26 November.
