Those that are still to arrange their visit are strongly encouraged to head to the event website for ticket sales, travel information and accommodation deals. Exhibitors are also listed on the site so business owners can earmark the manufacturers they want to visit.

This is the biggest event for the trucking industry with the show owned and operated by the Heavy Vehicle Industry Association (HVIA). Not surprisingly, the exhibitors include the who’s who of the industry with PACCAR, Mack, Kenworth, IVECO, Volvo, Scania, Western Star, Isuzu, Volvo, Hino amongst the names exhibiting.

Low and Zero Emission Vehicle Spotlight

With all the changes in the transport sector, it’s not a surprise to see that LZEVs will be heavily represented at the event. The Aero can FH range from Volvo will have its Australian launch at the show. Operators can lower operating costs with the aerodynamic styling and with the electric variant, realise further advantages.

The XCIENT, a fuel cell vehicle, will be debuted by Hyundai. The company claims that this is a world first for the mass production of hydrogen cell heavy vehicles. An alternative fuel for operators looking to transition away from diesel.

From Scania, show visitors can see the latest generation variant in their low emission line-up – the 40 BEV electric truck. Buyers can select from a prime mover or a rigid set-up and obtain around 400 klms per charge. Variations in cab style are included in the range to suit different preferences.

Also showcased with the latest technology from major brands such as Fuso, Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner. Mercedes-Benz will display the eEconic and e-Actros. Fuso will have the eCanter to showcase to potential buyers.

For buyers keen to acquire new vehicles, the show offers the benefit of being able to see many options to compare in the same space. But to be ready to place an order and save the time of revisiting a dealership at a later date, operators will need to have their financing secured.

Securing Finance Before Brisbane Truck Show

The process of securing heavy vehicle finance prior to make a purchase or a final vehicle selection, is straightforward. The same application requirements apply. The only difference in pre and post purchase applications are that pre-sale loans are approved for the applicant’s estimate of what they will need to borrow.

We source the best offer with the most competitive rates and arrange conditional loan approval. Applicants will receive the same interest rate offer whether they apply for financing before or after the purchase.

Our customer can visit the show and confidently place their order. When the manufacturer or dealer raises the invoice, we work with our lender to adjust the offer to reflect the exact vehicle and borrowings.
