Mercedes-Benz Trucks UK will open a new parts logistics centre on 3 January.

The facility at Willen, Milton Keynes, will be operated by 3PL partner XPO Logistics, which has been responsible for transporting parts to Mercedes-Benz Dealers since 2020.

The 140,000 sq ft facility offers approximately 20% more storage capacity for truck parts than is currently available, so will be able to hold deeper and wider stocks. More importantly, though, truck-dedication will allow Mercedes-Benz Trucks and XPO Logistics to manage the space more flexibly and respond more quickly to changing demand.

Heiko Selzam, Managing Director, Mercedes-Benz Trucks UK, said:

“Together with members of our Dealer network, we are committed to providing operators of Mercedes-Benz and FUSO trucks with the industry’s finest aftersales back-up. This fantastic new centre, coupled with the ground-breaking agreement we have reached with XPO Logistics, provides the perfect platform from which we will be able to provide our customers with the fast, efficient parts support they deserve.”

Dan Myers, Managing Director – UK and Ireland, XPO Logistics, said:

“The three-pointed star is an iconic brand which stands for reliability and quality. Working in partnership on this new, state-of-the-art distribution centre, we will embed these essential characteristics in every aspect of the Mercedes-Benz Trucks operation.”
