Over the past four decades, Penske Australia head of dealer capability George Konstantinou says the Tas Trucks team has forged a hard-earned reputation of being a highly trusted partner for Tasmanian customers.
“Tas Trucks’ dealer principal, Ed Jones, has an extensive history working with global brands,” he says.
“He and his team focus heavily on customer engagement and growing through local community involvement.
“Established in 1982 to support the material handling industry, Tas Trucks has steadily grown its portfolio into the heavy-duty truck space.
“Ed has also grown the team’s capability, bringing on key staff including Troy Wood, who has taken on the role of director, operations manager Barnaby Terry and sales manager Luke Bennett.”
The dealership provides 24/7 and 365 days a year on-site breakdown services, which proves vital in Tas Trucks supporting Tasmanians in metropolitan and remote locations across the state.
“The team and I are thrilled to be adding the renowned Western Star, MAN, Dennis Eagle, and Detroit brands to our portfolio,” Ed Jones says.
“We aim to challenge heavy-duty market leaders in Tasmania with a combination of outstanding products and excellent customer service support.”
Tas Trucks will host a customer event on Thursday, May 8 at its Launceston dealership with Shell V-Power Racing Team drivers Will Davison and Brodie Kostecki present to meet with guests.
Western Star 47X and 48X models will be on display, as well as the MAN TGS 540 and TGX 640 powerhouse.
The event is from 5.30pm to 7.30pm at 246-250 Hobart Road, Youngtown.
