Cartage Australia and CMV Truck & Bus are celebrating a major milestone in their long-standing partnership with the delivery of the former’s 400th Volvo.
Operating since 2004, Cartage Australia has grown its fleet massively over its more than 20 years in business, which it says has only been possible thanks to CMV.

“The relationship between our organisations is built on mutual respect and a shared commitment to continuous improvement,” says CMV Group joint managing director Miles Crawford.
“Cartage Australia’s milestones – such as the purchase of their 200th Volvo in 2019 and now their 400th in 2025 – are not just numbers; they’re a testament to the strength of our partnership and the confidence they place in CMV Truck & Bus and Volvo Group.”
Cartage Australia has now evolved into a fleet containing 118 PBS-approved vehicles, including 114 Volvos equipped with Hercules bodies.
They were early adopters of cutting-edge technologies, such as I-Shift transmission and advanced safety packages, as well as the first in Victoria to implement 5- and 6-axle dog trailers.
“It’s quite humbling to be the partner of choice to such an innovative and successful business,” says Volvo Trucks Australia vice president sales and marketing Tom Chapman.
“400 trucks is no small commitment to our brand, and we value the trust that the Cartage Australia team has in our products and our people.”
