100 trucks as part of the deal
In Australia, Toll is partnering with Woolworths Group’s supply chain and logistics arm - Primary Connect - over the next five years to deliver goods to more than 380 supermarkets in New South Wales.
As part of the agreement, Toll will invest more than AUD 24 million (EUR 15.5 million) to acquire a new fleet of 100 prime movers and 25 rigids over the period of the contract.
Toll will manage the distribution from Primary Connect’s Minchinbury, Yennora, Erskine Park and Wyong distribution centres, where almost 400 drivers, including 260 full time employees, will be engaged.
Toll is the incumbent secondary transport service provider for the Woolworths operations and was successful in winning the new agreement in a competitive tender process. (ben)
