Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner dealer AJL will look after the Fuso brand in Tasmania from early next year.
The local company will sell and support Fuso trucks and buses at its Burnie, Hobart and Devonport facilities.
From early 2026, AJL will also open a new facility in Launceston.
The expansion means Mercedes-Benz, Freightliner and Fuso trucks will be supported by the same dealership group at major cities across the Apple Isle.
Daimler Truck Australia Pacific Sales, Marketing and Operations Vice President, Andrew Assimo, said Fuso customers are in good hands in Tasmania.
“Our Tasmanian Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner customers are thrilled with the support they are receiving from AJL, so we’re really excited to have them now looking after our Fuso customers,” he said.
“The AJL team is investing heavily to make sure our Fuso customers will have the support they need to get the job done,” said Assimo.
Daimler Truck Australia Pacific Aftersales and Network Operations Vice President, Antonio Briceño, says the AJL appointment is very positive news for Fuso customers in Tasmania.
“AJL runs a great operation that has a sharp focus on keeping customers moving, so we are really pleased to have them look after our Fuso customers,” he said.
Briceño also paid tribute to CJD for representing Fuso in Tasmania for more than 25 years.
“We’d like to thank CJD for looking after our Fuso customers in Tasmania. The CJD team has always been great to work with,” he said
