Penske Truck Leasing hosted a grand opening today for a full-service facility in the Birmingham suburb of Alabaster, Alabama. Located at 185 Airpark Industrial Road, in the Interstate Commerce Park, the state-of-the-art facility provides full-service truck leasing, consumer and commercial truck rental and contract truck fleet maintenance services.

“We’re opening this building in Alabaster for a number of reasons,” explained Chip Jensen, Penske Truck Leasing senior vice president for the southeast region. “There is ongoing growth within the Birmingham region that required a third facility. Now we best can serve customers in a variety of industries. Our building is centrally located near I-65 and other industrial parks.”

Facility highlights:

• It is 8,480 square feet and housed on 4.7 acres
• There are two truck service bays and a wash bay
• Single-lane commercial truck fuel island that also provides bulk Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) dispensing
• Wireless technology can connect technicians to truck diagnostic and analytic software
• Can perform maintenance on alternative-fueled vehicles that utilize Compressed Natural Gas (CNG)

“The City of Alabaster is thankful to Penske Truck Leasing Co. for choosing a site within the City to expand their Birmingham regional operations,” stated Marty Handlon, the city’s mayor. “With convenient access to I65 and US31, this location should be a long-term success for Penske. We want to thank Penske for investing in our community.”
