A new regional Daimler Truck dealership has opened its doors in Geelong.

Daimler Trucks Geelong has opened in a new $10 million facility, setting a new benchmark for truck dealerships in the region. 

The new facility, which sells and supports the Mercedes-Benz, Freightliner and Fuso brands, is operated by Velocity Truck Centres - Australia. 

It features a 6637 square metre hardstand area, a 2829 square metre building with 15 bays and has 9.8 metre height clearance.

Daimler Truck Australia Pacific President and CEO, Daniel Whitehead, says the opening of the new dealership is great news for Mercedes-Benz, Freightliner and Fuso customers in the region. 

“Daimler Truck customers in Geelong and surrounds will now be supported with a first-class dealership experience through Daimler Trucks Geelong and that represents a fantastic step forward,” he says.

“This is a brilliant facility with a motivated team, providing the kind of support and experience that our customers deserve,” Mr Whitehead adds.

Velocity Truck Centres President, Richard Higgins, says the new facility will be well received.    

“We are excited to have a new modern facility for our customers and employees that is convenient to major transport roads,” he says. 

“The new site is a significant upgrade on our previous location which reflects the considerable investment we continue to make across our Australian business,” Mr Higgins concludes.

The new dealership is part of a continued drive to support Daimler Truck customers across Australia.
