This is the third truck to be delivered to the Supercars team by Penske Power Systems Brisbane, which has a long-standing relationship with TEKNO Autosports founder, Jonathon Webb.
“After trialling a couple of different MANs, the PerformanceLine TGX 26.580 with the XLX cab was the truck the team felt lived up to its high performance standards,” said Derek Schroff, retail sales manager, Penske Power Systems Brisbane.
“The savings in fuel, great driver comfort, and exceptional standard safety package were all features that ticked the boxes in what the team was looking for.
“And with only ten 580hp PerformanceLine trucks entering the country, TEKNO’s unique transporter will certainly turn heads when it enters the Supercars paddock.”
Jonathon Webb said the MAN truck is the ideal fit for the team’s transport needs.
“We at TEKNO are new to MAN trucks so we took our time researching with the assistance of Penske Power Systems Brisbane and have found the ideal fit for our transport needs,” said Jonathon.
“We look forward to touring the country in our MAN PerformanceLine. Keep an eye out for #teamTEKNO en route to Supercars events in your local town.”
