RGM Maintenance has opened a new state-of-the-art Daimler Trucks dealership in Townsville that sets a new standard in the region, with 44 vehicle bays and specialised maintenance equipment, including a 20-tonne heavy lift crane.
Daimler Trucks Townsville sells and supports all Freightliner and Mercedes-Benz Trucks vehicles, as well as Fuso trucks and buses at the Heleen Downs facility.
It was the joint winner of the Daimler Trucks Dealer of the Year 2025, having also won the award outright in 2024 and 2018.
Daimler Truck Australia Pacific President and CEO, Daniel Whitehead, congratulated the RGM Maintenance Directors, Russell Newman and Greg Jackson, on the opening of the new facility.
“This incredible state-of-the-art facility allows the RGM Maintenance team to continue to deliver the amazing customer service that our Daimler Truck customers appreciate so much,” he says.
“The team works on the biggest combinations that traverse some of the roughest roads in harshest conditions, so it is important to have such advanced maintenance facilities.

“I’d like to congratulate Russell and Greg from building up the amazing RGM Maintenance Daimler Trucks dealership network while maintaining a firm customer focus right from the first Unimog they worked on.”
Whitehead attended the opening ceremony for the new facility, which was officially opened by the Deputy Premier of Queensland and Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning, Jarrod Bleijie.
The new dealership project was jointly funded by RGM Maintenance and the Queensland Government. It will also be used for Australian Defence Force platform sustainment.
RGM Maintenance has maintained a long-standing presence in Townsville and continued to prioritise local employment and veteran recruitment, supporting personnel transitioning from Australian Defence Force service into long-term civilian careers aligned with Defence industry needs.
The new Daimler Trucks Townsville dealership also recently received Daimler Trucks Elite Support certification, assuring customers that it delivers the very best facilities and service.
