The £500,000 Australian machine fills potholes in three minutes, North Yorkshire Council says.
North Yorkshire Council has added a "lightning-fast" machine to its arsenal as it tackles the region's potholes.
The "micro-asphalt surface treatment" sees chippings sprayed into a pothole before the road is compacted, levelled and sealed with an emulsion - all controlled by the vehicle's driver. Speaking in Millside in Norton, Neil Levett from specialists Kiely Bros said: "By the low-cost investment in the road the council are making, they're preserving the lifespan of this road by another 10 to 12 years."Neil Levett said the new resurfacing method would add 10 to 12 years to a road's lifespan
The AA said it dealt with 631,852 pothole-related incidents related to tyres, wheels, steering and suspension last year.
