Hallam Truck Centre

What Hallam Truck Centre does

Hallam Truck Centre is a PACCAR-authorised Kenworth and DAF truck dealership group headquartered in Hallam, Victoria, Australia, operating as the commercial-vehicle division of the privately held, fourth-generation CMV Group (founded 1934, 2,000+ employees across SA, VIC and TAS). It runs six locations across metropolitan and regional Victoria — the 3.2-hectare Hallam flagship, Bayswater Truck Centre (co-located with Kenworth DAF Australia's factory headquarters), the Melbourne North Truck Centre interim site at Somerton (with a purpose-built Mickleham site planned for 2028), and three TRP aftermarket parts branches at Pakenham, Ballarat and the Mornington Peninsula. The group offers the full Kenworth range (K220, T320/T420, T620, T659, T909, C509) and DAF range (LF, CF, XF, XG) alongside the broader PACCAR ecosystem of parts, finance, leasing and telematics.

The business delivers a full-stack heavy-vehicle solution: one-time new and used truck sales (e.g. DAF CF450 at $229,900 ex-GST), recurring workshop service and contract maintenance across twelve 30-metre drive-through bays with B-Double drive-over pits, supermarket-style parts showrooms stocking PACCAR Genuine and TRP all-makes parts, PacLease short/long-term rental and Full Service Lease programs, PACCAR Financial-backed vehicle financing, VicRoads Dealer On-Line heavy-vehicle registration, and the PACCAR Connect telematics platform with KPMG-partnered automated fuel tax credit claims. Technology depth is driven primarily by PACCAR (parent OEM) rather than proprietary R&D — PACCAR Connect integrates with Gearbox, Logmaster and SafetyCulture for maintenance, electronic work diary and pre-start checklist workflows.

The go-to-market is consultant-led field sales out of the physical dealerships, targeting owner-drivers, small-to-mid fleet operators, large transport and logistics operators, and the mining/resource sector for off-highway road trains. Marketing relies on the dealer website (vehicle stock listings, blogs, driver-training video content), PACCAR Parts catalogues and Privileges loyalty program, customer appreciation and apprentice events, and a Facebook channel. Customers include mid-market operators such as Plunkett Crane Trucks; named wins include the 2025 DAF Dealer of the Year award (third time since 2002) plus multiple Kenworth awards, underscoring the group's position as one of PACCAR's leading Australian dealer partners.
