Velocity Vehicle Group Australia Pty Ltd (VVG Australia) has announced the completion of the transaction to acquire the Daimler Trucks Huntingwood dealership from Daimler Truck and Bus Australia Pacific Pty Ltd effective 16 October 2021.

Daimler Trucks Huntingwood is located in one of the main transport and distribution regions in western Sydney and has a strong reputation and presence within the industry. Its location, culture and customer base make it an important and complementary addition to VVG’s Australian network.

Richard Higgins, Executive Vice President of VVG Australia said: “We are excited to have Daimler Trucks Huntingwood join the VVGA family. The dealership has a 30 year plus history of providing exceptional support to a large and diverse customer base.

“The experienced and dedicated team of circa 125 people are an important and a welcome addition to the VVGA network.

“The team have been leaders in Daimler’s Elite Support program which complements the VVGA pillars of Speed, Value and Trust. With our focus on these values we aim to continue to grow and develop Huntingwood along with our ability to provide service that meets the ongoing needs of our customers.”

VVG Australia operates 15 other dealership locations across Australia, and exclusively sells Daimler truck, bus and van products across its network.

VVG Australia purchased these dealerships from Eagers Automotive (Adtrans) on 1 May 2021.

Founders and Co-Presidents of VVG Conan Barker and Brad Fauvre said in a press statement: “We are committed to growing the Daimler truck and bus brand and delivering leading customer service.
