“From commercial vehicles and power systems to motorsports – competing, improving, and winning is in Penske’s DNA,” Penske Australia & New Zealand managing director Hamish Christie-Johnston says.
“We constantly strive to improve on the racetrack and in business.
“And just like Penske’s commitment to racing, our commitment to our customers is driven by excellence. We go the extra mile to overcome challenges and deliver outstanding results. That’s the power of Penske.”
The Western Star X-Series won the 2024 Truck of the Year Australasia (ToYA) and features superior comfort, an advanced safety package, a powerful integrated driveline, and legendary Star durability.
“In addition to displaying the highly versatile 47X, which has a short, sloped bonnet that yields payload flexibility, we will also have the Australian and New Zealand-exclusive 48X on show,” Penske Australia & New Zealand executive general manager Craig Lee says.
“We’ll also be making an exciting announcement on social media during the truck show, so we urge Western Star enthusiasts to keep an eye on our channels!”
MAN’s truck generation redefines trucking with its great efficiency and economy features, optimised uptime, excellent driver fit, and making for a strong business partner.
“We are also proud to bring the all-new Individual Lion S to the Brisbane Truck Show, the first time it will be seen in Australia,” Craig says.
“Combining breathtaking design with supreme driving comfort, the Lion S has a sporty racing finish, a dynamic carbon trim with red highlights, and an array of stylish elements.”
The MAN TGS 26.540 will also feature on the stand with the generous GM cab and the flexible TN cab.
In conjunction with Viva Energy, all six Western Star and MAN trucks on Penske’s stand will be powered by renewable diesel, demonstrating the future compatibility of the product portfolios.
