Penske Australia and New Zealand has announced the renewal of its strategic partnership with the Shell V-Power Racing Team, with the MAN brand at the forefront of the pairing.
The partnership strengthens the collaboration between the two iconic names in motorsport and performance, with the MAN trucking brand receiving a particular focus.
Since the inception of the partnership, MAN trucks have played a pivotal role in supporting the logistics and operational demands of the Shell V-Power Racing Team.
These high-performance vehicles have been instrumental in ensuring the team’s equipment and resources are delivered seamlessly across the country, enabling the team to consistently perform at the highest level on and off the track.
Shell V-Power Racing Team CEO David Noble says he’s enthusiastic about the ongoing collaboration, saying Penske has a successful history with the team.
“Our partnership has been united in building sustained success with a focus on continuous improvement,” Noble says.
“The synergy between us is strong, and continuing the journey with Penske demonstrates the passion we both share with motorsport.

“As with the team’s performance on the race track, MAN combines power, efficiency and safety into an innovative and impressive package.”
As a carbon-neutral race team, the partnership will not only enhance the team’s operational capabilities but also focus on showcasing MAN’s advanced technology and efficiency-enhancing initiatives.
The Shell V-Power Racing Team and Penske Australia & New Zealand look forward to another successful chapter of collaboration, driving innovation and delivering results both on the race track and in the trucking industry.
