Health Heads in Trucks & Sheds recieves keys to shiny new Kenworth

Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds (HHTS) and the PACCAR and Dealer Industry Fund recently announced the delivery of a new Kenworth T410 SAR, marking a milestone in the partnership to support mental and physical health within the transport industry. 

The truck was handed over by Damian Smethurst, Managing Director of PACCAR Australia, to Naomi Frauenfelder, CEO of Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds, at the Kenworth DAF Bayswater Plant.

This is the second truck supported by PACCAR and its dealer network to join the HHTS lineup, and it strengthens the organisations’ shared commitment to supporting the transport industry from the inside out.

“Our partnership with PACCAR and its dealers and the addition of a new Kenworth allows us to enhance and expand our outreach capabilities significantly,” said Ms Frauenfelder. 

“In our first three years of operating the DAF Road Show vehicle, we have seen very strong demand to have the HHTS team onsite, raising awareness and delivering programs designed for the diverse and unique needs within our sector. This truck will enable further delivery of these programs, reaching more people with essential support and resources.” 

With another truck in its fleet, HHTS plans to increase its visibility and accessibility, ensuring that individuals in the transport industry have access to support and resources to manage their mental and physical health effectively. 

Following the handover, the truck will receive its livery, with plans for an unveiling of the unique design at the Brisbane Truck Show in May.  

“We are proud to deliver this truck to the team at Healthy Heads in Trucks & Sheds and hope the expansion of its delivery capability across Australia, promoting and delivering vital mental health resources, will continue to foster a culture of support and understanding among those in our industry,” said Mr Smethurst.  

“Kenworth is a much-loved brand in the industry,” added Frauenfelder. “And we are delighted to join the legion of organisations with a Kenworth. This partnership not only strengthens our resources but connects us with a loyal community of supporters who we hope can play a vital role in promoting mental health awareness.” 

The Healthy Heads Road Show program is a cornerstone of HHTS’s outreach strategy, designed to connect individuals directly with resources and programs that promote mental health awareness. The initiative currently delivers more than 40 events annually, reaching approximately 4,000 individuals each year. In addition, HHTS completed over 350 free health screenings in 2024 alone, emphasising its commitment to proactive health management.
