If we needed a shot in the arm to get 2025 going after a less than salubrious 2024, the Bombay Truck Show 2025 was most certainly it. The organising team hit it out of the park – again!

There are four key things you need to make a truck show ‘hum’, and they were all there in spades at Bombay this year: trucks, people, a great mood, and the sun. Once again, those organising the Bombay Truck Show served us up a New Year’s treat, and on the fringes of the nation’s largest metropolis, thousands turned out to enjoy an event that has a country community feel.

The venue is superb, with fantastic views out over Pukekohe and the Manukau Harbour in the distance. The tiered nature means there’s always something interesting up here, down there, or just around the corner. Likewise, everyone’s catered for, with trade stalls, show and shine, classics, merch, models … you name it, it’s there.

Total truck attendance was 473, with an estimated crowd at about the 20,000 mark.

“Now that it’s done and we’ve had time to breathe out, I feel the same as you and everyone else, a great day and a huge success,” says organising committee member Marieka Morcombe.

Beneficiaries of the event are the Bombay Rugby Club, Leukaemia and Blood Cancer New Zealand and Franklin Hospice, with the proceeds split evenly. Marieka says final numbers won’t be available for another couple of weeks but early figures are looking at around $120,000 to be split three ways. The gate takings of $13,982.70 go to Bombay junior rugby and netball.
