Earlier this year Shepparton became the fourth inland city, and Victoria, the third state; after NSW and the ACT, to host established regional dealership for both Daimler Trucks and TriStar Truck & Bus Group.

The decision was both logical and well-calculated, explained Daimler Trucks Shepparton, Dealership owner David Warren.

“We couldn’t help but see these facts as clear opportunities for the growth of the business; both in terms of transport and logistics, as well as further enabling us to significantly increase opportunities for stable, long-term employment within the area.

“Both areas that I am passionate about; supporting local people to secure long-term employment and all things associated with the growth and evolution of the transport industry.”

Selling quality Freightliner, Mercedes-Benz trucks along with Fuso Trucks and Buses is a passion for Mr Warren, he further explained, saying, “All three brands are manufactured by Daimler, the largest manufacturer of trucks in the world.”

The dealership is made up of a group of highly trained and dedicated staff, has a well-stocked spare parts division, catering for all makes, plus a large workshop offering break-down support 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

The Shepparton location adds the next vital link for the TriStar Truck and Bus business, which already has three established sales and service centres located in Wagga Wagga, Canberra and Albury.

“Our growing Shepparton business ensures that we are central and active in supporting the key transport routes throughout the southern states.

“Our services ensure that we exist to facilitate the needs of the transport industry. We recognise that we are a key player in ensuring the industry keeps moving throughout the southern inland corridor, and we take our role in this very seriously,” Mr Warren said.
