Daimler Commercial Vehicles MENA FZE (DCV MENA) is proud to announce a strategic, long-term partnership with global logistics provider DHL Global Forwarding for the operations and management of the soon-to-be-launched Daimler Truck Dubai Parts Centre.
The state-of-the-art facility will serve as a dedicated warehouse for truck parts and will enable DCV MENA to better serve Daimler Truck AG customers in the Middle East, by offering broad and dependable parts availability and short turnaround times.
Daimler Truck AG is one of the world’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturers whose flagship Mercedes-Benz trucks are designed to burn fuel cleanly, operate economically and boast advanced safety features to aid and protect drivers, as well as other road users.
These trucks and products from other brands under Daimler Truck AG are widely used by a variety of regional customers to generate revenue.
However, commercial vehicles can only generate income for owners or operators when they are on the road.
The launch of the Daimler Truck Dubai Parts Centre ensures that customers will be able to easily source a broad variety of parts in the shortest amount of time and keep their trucks on the road for longer periods of time.
Scheduled to begin operations in December 2022, the facility features closed chambers and an operational area of 23,478 m², as well as 5,000 m² of interlocked open yard storage.
Taking shape within Dubai World Central, it further establishes Daimler Truck AG as an independent organisation, following the split of Daimler AG to Mercedes-Benz AG and Daimler Truck AG in December 2021.
