The partnership highlights the expansion of the Penske Truck Rental brand with offices now in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide. The growth of the truck rental business has been swift, with the newest office opening in South Australia in June 2016.

“The Penske brands play an important part of the team’s marketing strategy. The interaction we have with Penske Transportation Group International staff and customers, coupled with other key team partners, has been a feature of our on track activity at all Supercars events. We look forward to welcoming the Penske Truck Rental team to Queensland Raceway event next week.”
