Volvo expands retail business in Australia
London, April 14, 2025, (Oilandgaspress) ––––Volvo Group Australia, under which Volvo Trucks operates in Australia, acquires Truck Centre Western Australia, a retail operation with eight locations, headquartered in Perth. With the acquisition, Volvo Trucks will more than double its wholly owned retail network in Australia, going from six to 14 sites.
Western Australia lacks a dense rail and sea freight infrastructure, and goods are mainly transported by road. Now, the mining industry is expanding in the region, and transport needs are expected to increase.Truck Centre Western Australia has branches across the region, from Albany in the south to Port Hedland in the north, a distance of nearly 2,000 kilometers.The transfer of ownership is expected to take place during the third quarter in 2025, subject to any required regulatory approvals. Truck Centre Western Australia will then become a business entity under Volvo Group Australia. The workforce of over 300 people is expected to transition with the ownership of the business. The value of the transaction will not be disclosed.
Volvo Trucks has a strong presence in Australia and delivered more than 3,000 trucks in 2024. Volvo established a production facility in Australia as early as 1972 in Wacol, Brisbane. Today, the production site in Wacol is Australia’s largest vehicle manufacturing facility.
