The buses on this site are actively tracked. The last registration record search was 9 January 2012.
The first Hino vehicles purchased by New Zealand Railway Road Services were 30 Emslie bodied Hino BT51 coaches. These were followed by the Hino BG100, the first non-Bedford vehicle puchased by NZ Railways in large numbers since it standardised on Bedfords in the 1950s. 103 were purchased with a mix of NZMB and Emslie body work. The initial vehicles were 2 axled but a change in the road tax for high axle weights resulted in those deilvered from 1979 onwards having three axles.
Between 1979 and 1981 NZRRS received 18 composite Hino BG100 coaches with 20 passenger seats and a large rear freight compartment from Emslie.
In 1980 and 1981 NZRRS recieved 14 Hino BG100 coaches with Emslie C41F bodies. 5906 and 5907 later received airconditining.
