Over the weekend of 8th & 9th July 2023, in conjunction with the Dungarvan Agricultural Show, Dungarvan, County Waterford gathered over 500 working trucks and fleets, as well as vintage, classic and show trucks from all over Ireland & the UK. In addition to celebrating its 10th Anniversary, the show commemorated the 30th Anniversary of the original Volvo FH, the 35th anniversary of Scania 3 Series, and the 50th Anniversary of DAF Trucks in Ireland.
As a not-for-profit organisation, the event continued its partnership with the Royal National Lifeboat Institute (RNLI) Dungarvan/Helvick Head base.
Hannah Lonergan, Marketing Manager for Waterford Truck Show, on behalf of the organisers welcomed Prometeon Tyre Group (Pirelli Truck & Bus) and its Irish distributors Heffernan Tyres, as the main sponsors of the 2023 Show.
“Waterford Truck Show has cemented itself as an ‘old school’ show, all about treating everyone with a ‘love for lorries’ to a well-deserved day out. While there are always many exemplary ‘show spec’ trucks in attendance, it is not particularly a ‘Show & Shine’ event with prizes. At its core, it is a show for the everyday working owner and driver, and all about catching up with friends and making new ones, admiring trucks from brand new to vintage, a chance to reminisce on the good ol’ days, and sharing each other’s passion for the industry,” she said.
