Daimler expands in New South Wales

Mercedes-Benz, Freightliner and Fuso customers of inland New South Wales are set to be offered a higher level of service with the introduction of a new dealership network.

Industry veteran David Warren is heading up a new entity that is now operating Daimler Trucks dealerships in Wagga Wagga and Albury. The company will also open a new Daimler Trucks dealership in Dubbo later this year.

Mr Warren is well-known for a 25-year career in the region, having served as a service manager and star salesman at a rival dealer network, as well as being a stand-alone business owner.

Daimler Truck and Bus Australia President and CEO, Daniel Whitehead, says Daimler Trucks customers in the area will benefit from the change.

“It is one thing to have the best trucks in each class, but Daimler Trucks also needs to back them with the best dealership support,” he says.

“Our customers in this vast area of rural New South Wales will now be able to expect a higher level of service than ever before from David’s team that is prepared to go out of its way to back our products and look after its customers.”

Mr Whitehead adds: “We’d like to extend a warm welcome to David and his team and thank them for the commitment to Daimler Trucks and its investment in our customers.”

The new operations in Wagga Wagga and Albury will operate out of the same locations as previous Daimler Trucks entities, while the Dubbo dealership will be all-new.

Mr Warren says he is excited to join the Daimler Trucks dealer network and get involved with the new product lineup including the Freightliner Cascadia, Fuso Shogun and Mercedes-Benz Actros, the winner of the Trucksales Innovation Award.

“We are really looking forward to backing these fantastic new products and providing the kind of support our customers need to keep working and build their businesses,” he said.
