Penske Australia has welcomed Tas Trucks to its truck dealer network, representing the Western Star Trucks, MAN Truck & Bus, Dennis Eagle, and Detroit brands.
Located in Launceston, Hobart, and Devonport, Tas Trucks will give comprehensive sales, parts, and service support.
Over the last four decades, the team at Tas Trucks has forged a hard-earned reputation of being a highly trusted partner for Tasmanian customers.
“Tas Trucks’ dealer principal, Ed Jones, has an extensive history working with global brands,” said George Konstantinou, Head of Dealer Capability at Penske Australia.
“He and his team focus heavily on customer engagement and growing through local community involvement,” he said.
“Established in 1982 to support the material handling industry, Tas Trucks has steadily grown its portfolio into the heavy-duty truck space.
“Ed has also grown the team’s capability, bringing on key staff including Troy Wood, who has taken on the role of director, operations manager Barnaby Terry, and sales manager Luke Bennett.”
Providing 24/7, 365 days a year on-site breakdown service, Tas Trucks is vital in supporting Tasmanians in metropolitan and remote locations statewide.
“The team and I are thrilled to be adding the renowned Western Star, MAN, Dennis Eagle, and Detroit brands to our portfolio,” said Ed Jones.
“We aim to challenge heavy-duty market leaders in Tasmania with a combination of outstanding products and excellent customer service support.”
Tas Trucks will host a customer event on Thursday, 8 May, at its Launceston dealership with Shell V-Power Racing Team drivers Will Davison and Brodie Kostecki present to meet with guests.
Western Star 47X and 48X models will be on display, as well as the MAN TGS 540 and TGX 640 prime movers.
In 2023, Jones acquired FRM Hino and its three Tasmanian dealerships.
