Iveco and Cummins outlets at 11 locations in five states
Iveco Australia has announced its first set of dealerships that will oversee the sales, service and parts support for the International ProStar truck range.
As foreshadowed at the International relaunch in March, initial appointments are all current Iveco dealers as well as authorised Cummins service outlets, providing greater convenience to fleets and owners who choose to operate both brands.
Dealer appointments to date include Sydney Iveco, Thomas Bros and Blacklocks in New South Wales, Brisbane Iveco and Wideland Trucks and Equipment group in Queensland, Adelaide Iveco in South Australia, Smith Trucks in Victoria and AV Truck Services in Western Australia.
Further retail outlets will be appointed in all states of Australia along with parts and service-only branches to provide a broader support network for the International brand.
According to Iveco, the company had been selective in its appointments to ensure all accredited dealers were the best qualified to service and support the iconic International brand.
“In re-launching the iconic International brand back into the Australian market, we have been fortunate to have access to our existing Iveco network across Australia,” Australia dealer channel director Geoff Buswell says.
“Many of the new dealerships have had a long history with International having previously sold and serviced the range when it was last available in Australia.
“In fact many dealers still offer support for previous generation International products.
“Another benefit of appointing existing Iveco dealers is that they already have a thorough knowledge and understanding of much of the ProStar’s componentry by virtue of several existing Iveco models featuring Cummins, Hendrickson, Eaton and Meritor equipment.
“We are extremely pleased with our initial appointments and we are in the process of adding to these dealers in the coming days and weeks.
“We will provide a complete dealer network as representation for all prospective ProStar buyers in metropolitan and rural areas.”
