Tru Fleet is a dedicated fleet-vehicle hire business that has been launched to meet significant identified demand within the Western Australian vehicle and transport equipment rental market. Tru Fleet is positioned strongly to specialise in quality mine-specification and civil-specification light-vehicle hire across the Australian resource, civil and construction markets.
Tru Fleet impressively absorbed the initial start-up costs of the business over the first half of the financial year (1H23) as it ramped up its services and offerings, to see a significant improvement in second half (2H23) financials, which the company expects to continue into FY24.
Having established Tru Fleet as a new business, it has grown organically with the dedication and hard work of our teams and has resulted in a significant improvement in 2H23 financials, resulting in significant 2H23 EBITDA increase of 50% and an impressive EBIT improvement of 240% vs 1H23.
This EBITDA yields a return of 121% on the capital contributed by SSH Group Ltd over the period since launch, whilst the EBITDA generated by Tru Fleet assets is 57.6% for the 12 months.
With Tru Fleet now servicing clients in Western Australia, New South Wales and Queensland, company fleet assets (as of 30 June 2023) have grown to $12.8m, representing a 236% increase in fleet value since launching. Strong customer demand has led to Tru Fleet expanding into the Light Truck Market which has proven to be a growing product offering across our client base.
