There’s a new fleet of Taranaki Rugby Toyota vehicles on the road thanks to the team at Tasman Toyota.

The locally owned and operated car dealership has extended their Official Vehicle Partner relationship with Taranaki Rugby for a further four years, through until 2027.

Tasman Toyota was formed in 2002, evolving from Gray & Inch Toyota, the original company being established in 1946. The dealership is New Zealand's longest operating Toyota franchise and has been trading on its current site in Fitzroy since 1963.

With the addition of their Westown branch in 2005 and also the acquisition of Hawera in 2010, they now employ over 70 local staff.

TRFU staff are proud to be driving around in the fleet of Hilux’s RAV4’s, Corolla’s, Camry’s and Yaris’s. The attractive, economical vehicles enable TRFU staff to get around Taranaki and connect with the local rugby community.

Tasman Toyota’s General Manager Craig Clarke was pleased to extend as the Official Vehicle Partner of Taranaki Rugby.

“It’s exciting to be involved with TRFU once again. We have been backing the TRFU through all the highs and lows of our 14 years of sponsorship. Our involvement with the TRFU means we can involve our staff and customers in the excitement of the games and hospitality.  The TRFU and their associates over the years have also been great customers of ours too. Sponsoring the TRFU for us has been a win-win situation for us which is something we hope happens for them in this 2023 season.”

Taranaki Rugby has enjoyed a long relationship with Tasman Toyota since 2009 and TRFU Commercial Manager Jimmy Fastier was delighted their partnership would continue.

“Taranaki Rugby is thrilled to have the continued backing of Tasman Toyota. With three branches across Taranaki, Tasman Toyota truly is a Taranaki business and their support of the TRFU helps us to deliver rugby experiences at all levels into all corners of the province.”
