Trekka

Trekka is the only vehicle to be designed and mass produced in New Zealand. 2,500 vehicles were built between 1966 and 1973.

The idea for an agricultural utility vehicle based on the Škoda Octavia engine, drive train, and separate chassis came from Philip Andrews, who had taken over the Motor Lines vehicle assembly company from his father. When Motor Lines was taken over by Noel Turner, Andrews was able to convince him of the market potential of such a vehicle. At that time in New Zealand agricultural vehicles attracted no tariffs and there was no government limit on the number of such vehicles that could be sold.
