Welcome to European Horse Trucks, specialists in beautifully customised, high spec, luxury horse truck builds and imports for New Zealand clients. Our speed of delivery sets us apart along with our use of quality UK and European coachbuilders who offer a wide range of specifications and style aesthetics.
EHT are renowned for delivering value for money together with comprehensive import certification management to ensure our clients avoid any headaches or hassles. Genuine customer satisfaction is our absolute aim for EVERY client, as evidenced by our Google reviews and testimonials. We look forward to delivering the truck of your dreams, on time and on budget.
Reasons to buy through EHT
NZ horse truck builders typically have several years waitlist. EHT have access to several UK coachbuilders and can usually start a build for you within a few months and deliver your completed quality, bespoke truck to you 8 – 18 months later.
Because we are not affiliated with just one builder but a variety of design and build horse truck specialists, we have designed 4 different specification levels so we can curate your truck to meet your bespoke requirements. Together we can create a truly personalised horse truck build for your needs built with exceptional quality.
Not the only reason to import, but certainly an important contributing factor. The availability of quality used chassis combined with more coachbuilders working in a more competitive market in the UK means that we can keep your build price down to a more comfortable level.
In the UK a range of stylish pods and streamlined lutons are available – all with a sophisticated ‘European’ flair when compared to the more ‘industrial’ looking New Zealand truck designs. For a truly beautiful truck that stands out from the crowd in both form and function, EHT has you covered.
We place a great deal of importance on our communication with our clients. Just take a read of our Google Reviews and testimonials both for our car import business and on this website for European Horse Trucks. Your satisfaction is crucial to both Sally & Lincoln and we understand that clear and regular communication is a necessity when building a truck overseas, or importing a high-value vehicle of any kind.
All trucks will be priced to include getting them on the road in NZ: import compliance, electrical and gas certification, COF, registration, RUCs and the controversial “LT400 certification” will all be arranged by EHT and are included in your price. We are proud of the relationship we have built with a well-respected Auckland heavy vehicle certifier and Auckland compliance centres – leave that in our hands and let us just deliver your truck, registered and ready to drive away.
Too many people have imported trucks themselves and been caught out with incorrect dimensions, chassis corrosion which has led to compliance failures or large bills to rectify, crawl throughs that are too big to be certified, electrics that are not compatible with NZ standards and/or budget blow outs because of unknown costs or currency fluctuations. Eliminate the risk by leaving the import process to us – we’ve seen what works and what doesn’t. We take the risks and offer the truck to you at a fixed price.
Vehicle Options
Our quality Coach-builders can create a truly bespoke vehicle that works for you, your budget and your lifestyle.

I can highly recommend European Car Imports. Sally went the extra mile on several occasions to assist with the importation of our horse van from the UK. The communication was always excellent and their experience and knowledge was invaluableKate Mitchell. EHT Duo by Equihunter.
I first met Sally & Lincoln Roberts from European Horse Trucks in November 2019 at Equitana. I was so impressed with the quality of the build of the truck that they were selling that it gave me the confidence to ask them to facilitate a new build for me from scratch, to my bespoke specification. Despite the challenges of 2020 with Covid19, nothing was too much trouble and at every stage of the build Sally kept me informed with progress reports and photos. EHT managed the full import process including customs clearance and compliance, ensuring a smooth handover of my beautiful horse truck. It was an amazing experience from start to finish, which was undertaken by Sally and Lincoln with professionalism and great enthusiasm. I cannot thank them enough for making my dream come true, and would highly recommend them to anyone considering either buying a horse truck from them or building from scratch. Thank you Sally and LincolnPauline Colclough (EHT Element 7.5 tonne)

My daughter Fliss and I have just had the most amazing experience purchasing my daughter’s Horse truck from Sally and Lincoln owners of European Horse Trucks. We first saw the truck at Equitana in Auckland. A few changes had to be made and nothing was too hard for Sally and Lincoln to organise for us. They are prompt and extremely efficient with everything we asked them to do and I cannot recommend them highly enough to help you get the right horse truck that meets your requirements. If anybody on the South Island would like to view our truck please let us know as we will be very proud to show you... thank you so much Sally & Lincoln for making my daughter one very happy girl with this fabulous horse truck ... Cheers!"Shirley and Fliss Grant (EHT Elevated 7.5 tonne)
Since getting our European Horse Trucks ‘Element’, we have been absolutely blown away with not only the quality, but also the extraordinary level of service we received.
