TNT Logistics secures MAN Nutzfahrzeuge contract for spare parts logistics
TNT Logistics Central & Eastern Europe is the new logistics partner for the pan-European spare parts logistics of MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG, Europe’s leading manufacturer of commercial vehicles.
As part of the European Logistics Concept, MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG is restructuring its entire European spare parts logistics operation. The future distribution of fast moving goods will occur through six regional warehouses (ELCs).
TNT Logistics will be responsible for the development and operation of the three ELCs in Italy, the UK and Northern Germany as well as the transport of spare parts in Italy, the UK, Northern Germany, Scandinavia, Poland, the Netherlands and Belgium. The transport services essentially comprise overnight delivery of urgent orders and same-day deliveries. The overall concept will accelerate the delivery of spare parts to the European workshops and reduce the MAN Group’s stocks.
“The partnership with MAN is an excellent project for the cross-divisional global network of TNT. By combining the expertise of the various divisions, we are able to create an integrated one-stop, pan-European solution under the central leadership and responsibility of TNT Logistics”, explains Christian Fürstaller, CEO of TNT Logistics Central & Eastern Europe.
“MAN Nutzfahrzeuge will work in Europe with two leading suppliers of spare parts logistics, with TNT Logistics covering three of the six regions. Our co-operation with TNT Logistics is based on a number of key factors, including the company’s transport and warehousing expertise, its flexibility in responding rapidly to change and its ability to integrate our existing carriers into the concept. MAN Nutzfahrzeuge is convinced that the speed and quality of its service to customers will receive a significant boost”, says Thomas Junge, Director After Sales, MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG.
