Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds has announced it has received a new custom-made Kenworth truck to continue supporting mental and physical health within the transport, warehousing and logistics industries.
The Kenworth T410SAR is the second truck supported by PACCAR and its dealer network to join the Healthy Heads fleet, strengthening the organisations’ shared commitment to delivering customised solutions catering to individual circumstances in the transport industry.
The new Kenworth was handed over by PACCAR Australia managing director Damian Smethurst to Healthy Heads CEO Naomi Frauenfelder at Kenworth’s DAF Bayswater plant.
“Our partnership with PACCAR and its dealers and the addition of a new Kenworth allows us to enhance and expand our outreach capabilities significantly,” Frauenfelder says.
“In our first three years of operating the DAF Road Show vehicle, we have seen very strong demand to have the HHTS team onsite, raising awareness and delivering programs designed for the diverse and unique needs within our sector. This truck will enable further delivery of these programs, reaching more people with essential support and resources.”

Smethurst says PACCAR is proud to deliver the truck to the Healthy Heads team.
“We hope the expansion of its delivery capability across Australia, promoting and delivering vital mental health resources, will continue to foster a culture of support and understanding among those in our industry,” he says.
Frauenfelder says Kenworth is a “much-loved” brand in the industry, with Healthy Heads being “delighted” to join the brand’s network.
“This partnership not only strengthens our resources but connects us with a loyal community of supporters who we hope can play a vital role in promoting mental health awareness,” she says.
With another truck in its fleet, Healthy Heads plans to increase its visibility and accessibility, ensuring that individuals in the transport industry have access to support and resources to manage their mental and physical health effectively.
Following the handover, the truck will receive its livery, with plans for an unveiling of the unique design at the Brisbane Truck Show in May.
The Healthy Heads Road Show program is a cornerstone of Healthy Heads’ outreach strategy, designed to connect individuals directly with resources and programs that promote mental health awareness. The initiative currently delivers more than 40 events annually, reaching approximately 4,000 individuals each year. In addition, Healthy Heads completed over 350 free health screenings in 2024 alone, emphasising its commitment to proactive health management.
