Council parades charity trucks
Blacktown City Council outfits waste trucks in livery to support worthy charitiesAt the Blacktown Festival last weekend, Blacktown City Council paraded six special edition Dennis Eagle waste collection trucks each outfitted with a unique charity-aligned livery designed to raise awareness for the Amy Gillett Foundation, the Black Dog Institute, Keep NSW Beautiful, Cancer Council NSW, Diabetes NSW & ACT and Redkite.
Penske Commercial Vehicles partnered with the local dealer in Sydney to deliver the six trucks to the council.
Penske says that the six Dennis Eagle Elite 2 trucks include unprecedented safety and driver comfort features such as single low-step entry, compact wheel base, stand-up walk-through cab, disc brakes on all wheels, low window lines and outstanding visibility, public safety has beenat the forefront of the product’s design.
Customised for the council’s requirements, the fleet features modern ergonomic interiors with a number of comfort attributes to keep operators performing in the demanding refuse collection application.
In 2015, Penske also supplied Blacktown City Council with a similar truck as part of a separate contract, with the council adorning the vehicle in White Ribbon livery.
Penske Commercial Vehicles’ General Manager – Sales, Mark Mello, said the success of the initial truck supplied to the council laid the foundation for the subsequent delivery.
“The feedback we received about the first truck delivered to the Blacktown City Council was very positive, and that gave us an opportunity to work with our Sydney dealer on the supply of these six units,” said Mr Mello.
“The Elite 2 range has led the way in the waste collection market with state-of-the-art features, an ongoing improvement process and partnerships with body suppliers that have all resulted in a fantastic overall package that delivers outstanding performance in the urban environment.
“Both Penske Commercial Vehicles and our Sydney dealer have worked with the council over a few years now to provide the best value for money to the people of Blacktown, as well as supporting this council initiative promoting such important charities in the community.”
