Followmont Transport taken delivery of another six new Kenworth K220 prime movers through its long-standing partner, Brown and Hurley.
Thesse new additions bring Followmont’s K220 fleet up to 13, with a total of 53 Kenworths now operating across the fleet.
The new K220s will be based in Brisbane and operate on linehaul runs to Townsville, to support a new customer for Followmont.
“As our business grows, we continue to invest in quality equipment from brands we know and trust,” said Managing Director Mark Tobin.
“Kenworth has always delivered exceptional reliability, driver comfort, and performance for our operations.
“The support we receive from Brown and Hurley and PACCAR gives us great confidence in their product and service, and these new K220s will play an important role in supporting our network and our people.
“They’ll deliver flexibility for both produce and general freight runs, while upholding the high standards our drivers expect day-in and day-out.”
Dealer Principal of Brown and Hurley, Dylan Hurley said, “The Brown & Hurley group are very proud to once again partner with Followmont Transport.
“Our family businesses are strongly aligned with a shared focus on customer service and investing in our people and facilities.
“We look forward to continuing this strong relationship for many years to come.”
Known for their strength and versatility, the Kenworth K220s combine great power from the high-performing Cummins X15 engine, with safety and comfort, making them well suited for long-haul tasks.
Followmont’s CEO, Ross Longmire, added that the trucks are perfectly suited to Followmont’s operational profile, which demands toughness, comfort, and endurance.
“Kenworth trucks have proven themselves time and again across our business,” he said.
“They’re well-suited to the work we do and provide our drivers with the tools they need to perform safely and efficiently while continuing to deliver for our customers.”
This latest delivery for Followmont follows the recent addition of eight new Sitrak C7H prime movers, delivered last month.
