Gascoyne, Goldfields, Great Southern, Kimberley, Mid-West, Pilbara, South-West, and Wheatbelt regions across the State.

the development of strong business relationships, marketing, and servicing customers.

Demand for Site-Ready Fleet Hire Vehicles

Now, with a comprehensive fleet of more than $5 million of well-maintained, late-model, fit for purpose vehicles on offer for long-term hire, Tru Fleet offers flexible, scalable fleet options and provides dependable, high-quality, long-term fleet services.

Vehicles from the Tru Fleet site-ready fleet range

The identification of key markets has allowed Tru Fleet to specifically engage with businesses operating in the resource, civil and construction markets who have an unmet or expanding requirement for long-term fleet hire.

While Tru Fleet's current customers have a significant focus on Western Australian operations, vehicles have also been sought by clients for deployment interstate in support of a range of large civil construction projects.

Increase in Market Demand

Over 80% of Fleet Vehicles Already Deployed

Tru Fleet's ability to provide late-model, low kilometre, fit for purpose vehicles with GPS tracking has been well-received in the market, with a strong customer uptake and ongoing, increasing demand.

This strong market response, and Tru Fleet's continued ability to source, fit out, and supply suitable vehicles has resulted in over 80% of Tru Fleet's vehicles already being placed on longterm hire after only one month from the business launch.

Commentary from SSH Group Ltd Chief Operating Officer

"I am enormously proud to see our dedicated fleet hire business, Tru Fleet, come to life. It has been exciting to guide the maturation of our vehicle hire offering from being a supplementary service, to this point now where we have a strong and dedicated operating business that is actively delivering on customer needs.

The Tru Fleet brand, facility, and fleet acquisition has been developed with impressive speed to market and to see it in a position where its fostering relationships with reputable companies and garnering positive feedback is extremely rewarding.

This achievement is a testament to the significant work put in by our teams in creating this business, and the trust our customers have placed in us to respond to their needs."

Stefan Finney – Chief Operating Officer / Executive Director

Future Expansion

Tru Fleet recognises that renewable-energy fleet vehicles are increasing in viability and expects that these vehicles will be the in-demand item for the near-future of the Australian resource, civil and construction markets.

To ensure that the business is positioned to respond to this emerging market shift, Tru Fleet is engaging in market-testing for renewable-energy fleet vehicles and are exploring partnership opportunities with supply partners.

While investment markets shift towards sustainable, socially responsible investment choices that favour businesses with a genuine focus on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria, SSH Group continues to explore renewable-energy offerings and pilot programmes.
