Spaceships Australia and KEA Campers Australia have announced a new partnership which will see the unique, orange campervans sharing operations across KEA’s Australian network providing independent travellers with a full spectrum of campervan and motorhome transport options.

The initial stage of the agreement involves the award winning Spaceship vehicles, a New Zealand concept, being offered from KEA’s Darwin and Alice Springs depots from the first of July 2011.

Director of Spaceships Australia Greg Zammit said the new partnership will allow the business to reach a new level.

“The partnership allows expansion into the Northern Territory, Perth and Adelaide with little additional cost structure, and fits very neatly with the current strategy of doubling the Spaceships fleet from 200 to 400 units across Australia in the future. It is really exciting to now have Spaceships, the premium campervan operator, and KEA Campers the premium motorhome and 4WD providers working together,” he said.

Mr Zammit said KEA is already known for delivering the highest standards of service in the industry and their professionally run depot facilities will allow a great improvement in the servicing and overall customer experience at each location.

He added: “The alliance will also leverage joint marketing opportunities and position the brands firmly as the leading operators in each segment of the industry”.

Grant Brady, CEO of KEA Group Ltd agrees that this alliance gives both companies advantages and efficiencies across a number of areas, including KEA’s operational structure and depot network. “We see this alliance as a fantastic fit, with both companies renowned as the best customer service providers in our respective categories” he said.
