By consolidating the logistics services for its South African operations, the Volvo Group is creating one distribution centre which will result in customers and dealers benefiting from a more streamlined and effective parts operation.

The new incorporated Volvo Group SA Distribution Centre will house all the parts warehousing, logistics and distribution services for Renault Trucks, Volvo Trucks, Volvo Bus and UD Trucks under one roof.

It will be established on the company’s existing site in Johannesburg, which will be expanded and upgraded from 4 500m² to 11 500m² and is close to the company’s headquarters in Jet Park.

The consolidation project is set to start in October 2013 and is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 2014.
