Does anyone have any more details on this purchase just announced? www.shephardmedia.com/news/mil-log/nz-orders-man-wreckers/Picked up by someone on another forum they wonder if it's the Bison heavy recovery vehicle trialed here a couple of years back. I see however there appear to be other MAN Recovery models!?! |

Similar chassis but not the same configuration as the Bison did not have a crane.

No not on SX chassis. I understand for commonality they will be on the same HX chassis as rest of fleet

I wonder how many we bought? There is no information on the order except for the announcement behind the Shephard Media paywall.

I still reckon a MAN Wrecker sounds like a feminist extremist....
