Big Rigs, Big Crowds & Big Moments at the 2025 Brisbane Truck Show

We rolled into Brissy, and so did 54,789 others.  Here's what went down at the biggest truck show in the Southern Hemisphere. 

A Quick Recap of the Show 

The 2025 Brisbane Truck Show brought the industry together for four action-packed days of innovation, excitement, and connection. From the newest heavy vehicles on display to the packed-out halls buzzing with energy, this year’s event reached new heights.

Big Wheels Truck Alignment was proud to be part of it. We had the chance to connect with industry leaders, catch up with long-time partners, and soak up the one-of-a-kind Brissy vibe. For us, this show is more than just an event. It’s a vital industry moment and a powerful reminder of why we do what we do. 

The Biggest & Best Yet! 

With 54,790 attendees, the 2025 show shattered previous records. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday all saw historic turnouts. Todd Hacking, CEO of show organiser HVIA, summed it up best:
 “This amazing result confirms the show’s standing as a truly world-class event.”

From standout displays to inspiring conversations, the atmosphere was buzzing. Innovation was everywhere, and you could feel the sense of momentum across the entire industry. 

The Rigs that Stole the Show 

There was no shortage of head-turners, but Kenworth truly stole the spotlight. Their lineup included the T320, T420, T620, T620SAR, and the Euro 6 T909 featuring a brand-new 60-inch bunk.

Another highlight? The Drake Group’s incredible upside-down trailer stunt. You won’t see that anywhere else. That’s Brissy for you! 

Our team especially loved checking out the custom rigs and chatting with the passionate drivers and builders behind them. The attention to detail and dedication to craftsmanship is what makes this industry something special. 

Trends, Tech and What’s Next 

So, where are we in 2025? 

·      New truck sales have dipped slightly, but the market remains solid.

·      Challenges such as driver shortages and rising fuel costs persist.

·      At the same time, there’s real growth in areas like sustainability, automation, and freight demand.

We're especially focused on improving fuel efficiency and meeting Euro 6 compliance standards— both key to the future of alignment services. We’re honing in on helping business save on costs related to their fleet management, saving tyres and more.

One of the best parts of the show was reconnecting with customers, partners, and fellow players in the industry. It’s moments like these that fuel our passion and keep us pushing for better performance, innovation, and sustainability.
