Authorised distributor of Zhongtong buses and coaches in New Zealand


L&W Equipment is an authorised bus dealer supporting operators throughout New Zealand, providing new bus sales, customisation,
genuine parts and after-sales support.

As a commercial vehicle dealer working closely with one of China's top three bus builders, we connect New Zealand operators with quality vehicles, factory-direct support and people who understand how buses are actually run.

Meet the director behind the business

Earl Li leads L&W Equipment Group, bringing more than 20 years of transport industry experience to the company. His career has been built around understanding what fleet operators face on the road, day after day.
That practical perspective shapes how the team selects and specifies vehicles, supports operators after delivery and continues to build relationships throughout the life of each bus.
Earl leads a team focused on doing the small things properly: responding quickly, sourcing the right parts and standing behind every bus that leaves the yard.

Built from real fleet experience

L&W moved into bus distribution through hands-on transport industry experience and a desire to bring operators buses that deliver value, safety and reliability.
Since selling the first bus in 2024, more than 80 units have been delivered across New Zealand. The first bus sold has now travelled over 160,000 km with no major issues, requiring only routine maintenance and small-part replacements.

Built on industry standards, backed by factory support

L&W Equipment Group is a Platinum Member of the Bus and Coach Association in 2026, which keeps us aligned with the certification and licensing requirements that matter to professional operators.
We are supported by regular visits from Zhongtong engineers, who conduct bus inspections and provide direct factory expertise to help ensure vehicles continue to perform to the required standards. 
In 2025, we were recognised by our manufacturer for our performance in the New Zealand market, an achievement we are proud of and continuing to build on.
