The sun was shining as we welcomed our valued Mack customers to join us in celebrating Mack’s 100th year in Australia at South Central Truck & Bus in late November this year.
Thanks to many of our customers agreeing to have their Mack’s involved on the day, our guests were greeted with an impressive display of models which spanned over Mack’s remarkable 100 year history.
In October, we enjoyed a fabulous event in our showroom with over 60 of our valued Volvo customers and their guests, to launch the all-new Volvo FH XXL.
It was fantastic to have the opportunity to showcase the Volvo FH XXL and give our guests the opportunity to see this amazing truck. It was also great to see many of them taking the time to explore its spacious interior and large cab, plus experience the XXL difference.

The all new Volvo FH & FH16 Globetrotter XXL cab is designed to be a home away from home for long-haul drivers out on tough assignments. And the difference is really great. The cab is a full 600 litres larger than the already spacious FH – giving drivers much more space to stretch out. It also includes a larger bed and plenty of extra, easy-to-reach storage.
