One local dealership's hard work was recognised this week with the presentation of Daimler's dealer of the year award. Many other awards were also presented to Daimler's subsidiary truck brands.
Daimler Trucks Albury has taken out the prestigious Daimler Truck Australia Pacific Dealer of the Year Award for 2022.
Daimler Truck President and CEO, Daniel Whitehead, presented the award to Daimler Truck Albury Dealer Principal, David Warren, at a ceremony in Melbourne this week.
“Daimler Trucks Albury represents a remarkable success story, having thrived since David Warren and the team took hold of the reigns in early 2020,” Whitehead says.
“A highly respected local, David leads a highly motivated team that has reinvigorated the Mercedes-Benz Trucks, Freightliner and Fuso brands in the region and raised customer support to remarkable levels. Daimler Trucks Albury is clearly a deserving winner of the Daimler Truck Dealer of the Year award”.
The Daimler Trucks Albury team is the sister store to another successful dealership in a key freight corridor: Daimler Trucks Wagga.

“We know our Daimler Truck customers really appreciate the outstanding support delivered by these two dealership teams,” Whitehead says.
