Nextro Supplies New Zealand’s First Hostile Vehicle Mitigation Road Blockers to Auckland Airport
Auckland Airport has deployed PAS68-rated anti-terror road blockers at Checkpoint Delta, the airport’s newest landside-to-airside vehicle gateway.
The hostile vehicle mitigation road blockers, supplied and commissioned by Nextro, are the first of their kind in New Zealand.
“Auckland Airport’s decision to use road blockers for hostile vehicle mitigation at a key checkpoint sets the benchmark for securing critical infrastructure in the New Zealand. Nextro is proud to be a key partner in execution of this project,” said Martyn Levy, Managing Director, Nextro.
Nextro supplied and integrated the system’s core components, including TiSO Global road blockers, Axis Communications video surveillance cameras, and Genetec Licence Plate Recognition (LPR) cameras.
The integrated checkpoint system enhances situational awareness, accelerates vehicle verification, and gives operations teams a modern platform to manage access efficiently.
The integrated security and operational system delivers tangible benefits to Auckland Airport, including:
- Stronger perimeter and access security.
- Greater operational efficiency and ergonomic improvements.
- Enhanced health and safety for frontline staff.
This installation underscores the growing importance of hostile vehicle mitigation in securing crowded spaces, transport hubs, and critical infrastructure across New Zealand.
As security and operational challenges evolve, integrated systems (combining hostile vehicle mitigation, video surveillance, LPR/ANPR, access control, and analytics) are helping mitigate vehicle-based threats, enhance operational efficiency, and provide actionable business insights.
