The Brisbane Truck<br />
Show is no longer just a<br />
truck show – it’s a festival<br />
of all things trucking!<br />
Above: When the industry gets<br />
together every two years, it’s<br />
not just for the truck show – it’s<br />
everything in and around it<br />
It’s not just a truck show –<br />
it’s a festival!<br />
Did you get down to South Bank when you were in town for<br />
last year’s Brisbane Truck Show? The music and BBQ at<br />
the Plough Inn were amazing. Up and down Little Stanley Street<br />
and throughout the precinct, there were great deals in every<br />
restaurant and bar, especially for Truck Show attendees.<br />
Or did you see the amazing display from Volvo Group Australia<br />
in front of the casino in Redacliff Place? ‘Mack the Transporter’,<br />
the Pilbara Heavy Haulage Girls’ pink trucks (looking Mickey<br />
Mouse even after stretching their legs across the Nullarbor), the<br />
Jimmy Barnes-inspired ‘Working Class Mack’ and a whole bunch<br />
of other new releases and favourites were all on show.<br />
What about the Daimler display in Queen Street Mall? How<br />
good was it to see school kids ooh-ing and aah-ing at the<br />
spectacular line-up!<br />
How about the Mack pop-up museum at Archerfield Airport?<br />
Did you see the UD on the barge on the Brisbane River with<br />
laser lights and fireworks? The Queensland Heritage Truck Show<br />
at Wacol? And, of course, the amazing display of trucks and<br />
trailers in South Bank showcasing the capability and values of<br />
the Australian heavy vehicle industry.<br />
There’s much more on top of this coming in 2021. It’s always<br />
a great time to be in Brisbane, but when the industry gets<br />
together every two years, it’s not just for the truck show – it’s<br />
everything in and around it: the events, activations, product<br />
launches, drive days, factory tours, the lunches and dinners, not<br />
to mention Australia’s favourite truck stop: the BTS Plaza Terrace<br />
BBQ Bar.<br />
It’s not just a truck show – it’s a festival!<br />
The Brisbane Truck Show will return to the Brisbane<br />
Convention & Exhibition Centre and South Bank Parklands from<br />
May 13 to 15, 2021.<br />
BOOK YOUR ACCOMMODATION<br />
If you’ve been to the Truck Show more than once you’ve<br />
probably got a favourite hotel, and a routine of how you start<br />
your day before heading to the show.<br />
One thing is for sure – there’s a lot of people looking forward<br />
to coming together in Brisbane when the show kicks off on May<br />
13, 2021. There’s a bucketload of meetings, conferences, dealer<br />
staff events and so on in the days preceding the show. So, the<br />
message is – get your accommodation sorted out as soon as<br />
you can.<br />
Returning as the official accommodation manager for the<br />
2021 Brisbane Truck Show is Ozaccom+. HVIA’s national<br />
