International operator Team Global Express (TGE) has launched a new co-branded vehicle fleet across Queensland to celebrates four decades of partnership with Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP).
The first eight co-livery rigid trucks sets are now delivering across Central and North Queensland, travelling routes through Rockhampton, Mackay, Townsville, Cairns and Mt Isa.
In total, 14 new vehicles have been purchased to support the co-branded livery partnership, with the full fleet expected to be on the road by March.
The rollout follows a new contract between TGE and CCEP for the North Queensland network, extending one of the longest-standing logistics partnerships in either company’s history to 45 years upon completion.

“Our co-branded fleet of 14 rigid trucks reflects the decades of trust and shared standards that have defined this partnership,” TGE Intermodal & Specialised, Fleet and Strategy executive general manager Mario Philippou says.
“As both businesses have grown and adapted to meet the needs of an increasingly demanding market, the strength of our commercial and professional relationship has only deepened.”
CCEP Australia director of logistics Phillip Parsons says the partnership with TGE is central to delivering for customers and communities across Queensland.
“For nearly 90 years, Coca-Cola has been made in Australia, and that strong local footprint remains fundamental to the way we operate. As one of Australia’s largest beverage manufacturers, with an operational presence in every state and territory, we’re proud to make, move and sell our drinks nationwide,” he says.
“Working with Team Global Express ensures our locally made beverages – crafted by Australians for Australians – reach Queenslanders efficiently, safely and sustainably.”
The strength of the relationship was also recognised at the recent 2025 CCEP Supplier of the Year Awards event, with TGE driver Ben Noll announced Queensland Regional Driver of the Year.
Further to a national road network spanning linehaul, route work and rail, TGE also supports CCEP with high-volume freight movements across Central and North Queensland, with national rail solutions also available for finished goods.
