Rhino Guards on the New Zealand Trucking Podcast: History, Innovation, and a 76% Carbon Reduction

Rhino Guards Talks Shop on the New Zealand Trucking Podcast

Media appearances aren’t always our comfort zone – there’s the classic “gotcha” worry, and a fair dose of Kiwi shyness thrown in. But some conversations are worth doing anyway, and this was one of them.

Rhino Guards General Manager Will Samuel sat down with David McCoid of New Zealand Trucking Media, in partnership with UDC Finance, for a wide-ranging chat that had been in the works since the two crossed paths at the Heavy Vehicle Industry Australia Brisbane Truck Show.

What We Covered

The conversation ranges across:

• Our history – how Rhino Guards got started and evolved.
• What sets us apart – our approach to product design and manufacturing. Product performance, premium stainless, UV performance and whole of life cost.
• New products – what’s coming next.
• Growth into Australia – expanding beyond New Zealand
• Sustainability – our Toitū Envirocare-verified 76% carbon reduction in our plastic PL12063 guards.
