Melbourne, VICTORIA | We are excited to announce today that PacLease Australia will join the team for the remainder of the 2026 season.

‍

The global commercial truck rental and leasing company is a well-established organisation within Australia offering customised rental, fully-maintained leasing and standalone contract maintenance solutions to their network.

‍

The PacLease team have provided truck rental support to the team since Darwin this year, with our main game transporter covering over 25,000km in the DAF XG prime mover during the team’s busiest on road period.  

‍

Supporting the race teams demanding logistics schedule for the remainder of the season will be the DAF XG and DAF XG+ prime movers provided by the PacLease team.

‍

The 660 horsepower PacLease rental units are the heart of ensuring our schedule stays on track as they cover the country heading to race events and test days.

‍

With a 55+ tonne load each trip, the PacLease DAF prime movers are the perfect solution to a safe and reliable ride. The DAF XG and XG+ are at the forefront of ensuring our transporters and their drivers make it to and from each location without issue and allow for a comfortable trip each time.

‍

The teams truck drivers can cover up to 12 hours a day on the road and the reliability and comfort allows for an issue free trip each time. The comfort within the transporter and its cabin flexibility means our drivers are able to rest comfortably when needed.

‍

Plus, with 27 locations nationally covering all major cities and much of the more remote network, the PacLease footprint means that each trip is backed by the large network of PACCAR dealers and centres that can be on hand quick if there is anything that needs attention.

‍

The DAF transporters will be on display throughout the remainder of the calendar in Supercars paddock and a front and centre piece during the truck parade at Bathurst and the Adelaide Grand Final.

Tickford Racing CEO Simon Brookhouse said:

‍

We couldn’t be prouder to be partnering with such a recognisable brand that continues to be an industry leader in their field.

‍

The PacLease team have provided us with some incredible machinery in the DAF prime movers and that gives us as a team the peace of mind that our truck drivers have the best to work with underneath them when on the road.

‍

Their continued support since Darwin has been very much appreciated and we are excited to take them along for the remainder of the 2026 season.

‍

PacLease Australia GM Lindsay Smith said:

‍

PacLease Australia is proud to partner with Tickford Racing, one of Australia’s most respected and successful motorsport teams, through the supply of our latest DAF XG Prime Movers.

‍

At PacLease, we understand that performance, reliability and efficiency are critical when it comes to keeping operations moving, and that's especially true in the demanding world of motorsport.

‍

Tickford Racing requires transport equipment that can cover thousands of kilometres across the country while ensuring their valuable race assets arrive safely and on schedule.
