The two new Kenworth K200s are thanks to Tickford Racing’s partnership with Truck Assist, which is part of the Brisbane-based NTI Group. NTI Group also supports Matt Stone Racing through the Yellow Cover brand.
It marks an early end to the partnership between IVECO Australia and Tickford Racing, which saw the team run two International ProStar prime movers for its B-Double pair.
Long-time Tickford Racing truck driver, Dave Aldridge, explains the team’s prime mover wish list and how the Kenworth K200s fulfill it.
”We do just over 40,000 kilometres per year, so we need something reliable and efficient with good fuel economy. They need to be able to look after the cars in a safe and efficient manner.”
Tony Clark, CEO of NTI Group, shared his excitement over the partnership coming together.
“Being the largest heavy vehicle insurer in Australia, we have a close relationship with the Kenworth group, and they were happy enough to supply the trucks to the Tickford team.
“Truck Assist are the largest provider of roadside assistance for trucks in Australia, and we’re really proud to be a partner of Tickford and work with Kenworth on the trucks.
