DHL GLOBAL FORWARDING TO MANAGE DAIMLER TRUCK DUBAI PARTS CENTRE OPERATION

New Daimler Truck Dubai Parts Centre will be operated by DHL Global Forwarding and features a dedicated supply chain and logistics team

Daimler Commercial Vehicles MENA FZE (DCV MENA) has agreed to a strategic, long-term partnership with global logistics provider DHL Global Forwarding for the operations and management of its new Daimler Truck Dubai Parts Centre.

The state-of-the-art facility is due to start operations shortly and will serve as a dedicated warehouse for truck parts. DCV MENA says the facility will enable it to better serve Daimler Truck AG customers in the Middle East, and ensure broad and dependable parts availability and short turnaround times.

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, said the German OEM.

The facility features closed chambers and an operational area of 23,478 m². With 5,000 m² of interlocked open yard storage available at its DWC location, it takes over duties from the MercedesBenz AG Regional Logistics Centre in Dubai. The firm added that the move to DWC enhances Daimler Truck’s position as an independent operator following its split from MercedesBenz AG in December 2021.
