Dear Mr Swift,

 

Unfortunately the Northern Territory (NT) does not have or use the
vehicles you have referenced.

 

Darwin City being the major populated are of the NT (approximately 120
thousand people), has the largest arterial road called Tigger Brennan
Drive, and this is not categorised as a Motorway.

 

The department contract out the services that respond to incidents on our
roads, and the vehicle used is four wheel drive.

 

That is all the information I can provide to you informally, however If
you wish to lodge a formal FOI request to this department a $30
application fee is required and further charges may apply for processing
the application.

 

For further details on how to lodge a formal FOI request, please follow
the link to the Information Commissioner site [1]here.

 

If you have any further queries please don’t hesitate to contact me.

 

Regards

 

Lindy
