“Scania continues to be a strong performer for Recycal,” says Jason Zorzut, National Operations Manager. “We’ve recently placed another order of 11 vehicles for delivery in 2026, which speaks to our confidence in the brand and its alignment with our operational needs."

Recycal is a leading player in Australia’s recycled materials industry, has been steadily expanding its national footprint, with operations in every state except the Northern Territory. From ferrous and non-ferrous metal recycling to green steel feedstock and foundry-grade products, Recycal is at the forefront of circular economy solutions, and its transport fleet plays a critical role in that mission.

As the company transitions to Euro 6 compliance, vehicle performance and specifications remain a key focus.

“We’re reviewing elements such as weight distribution, AdBlue capacity and tyre configurations to ensure we’re running an efficient and compliant fleet,” Jason says. “Our current line-up includes front-mounted cranes with Palfinger units, hook trucks and prime movers. These setups have proven reliable and versatile across our sites and services.”

Recycal’s long-standing partnership with Scania includes the use of Repair and Maintenance contracts, which have supported the fleet over its lifecycle.

“Some of our earlier vehicles have now reached the seven-year mark and are being retired from the fleet,” Jason explains. “Having those vehicles on Scania’s Repair and Maintenance contracts has given us peace of mind and allowed us to plan around performance and servicing with confidence.”

That confidence is matched by the team behind the brand. “Our Scania Account Manager Roger Lake has been instrumental in supporting our operational requirements and ensuring we continue to get the most out of our investment,” Jason adds.

Driver satisfaction has also played a pivotal role in Recycal’s ongoing commitment to Scania.

“The performance of the trucks has been excellent and the feedback from our drivers has been overwhelmingly positive, particularly from those who’ve previously worked with older or less ergonomically designed vehicles,” Jason says.

“Choosing Scania was a strategic decision, not just for the quality of the equipment, but also to attract and retain skilled drivers. We see our vehicles as an extension of our brand, and we want our team to feel valued and supported in their roles.”

“When drivers are comfortable and engaged, they’re more focused on safety, more mindful on the road and take greater pride in their work, especially when operating one of our distinctive green trucks bearing the Recycal livery.”

With major infrastructure developments underway in Queensland and Tasmania, Recycal’s fleet and its continued investment in Scania is helping to keep Australia’s recycled materials moving safely, sustainably and efficiently.
