The platform works on a click and collect basis where customers can buy parts online and collect them within 24 hours at their selected dealership.

As an initial start, over four hundred parts including oil, batteries, service and select wear-and-tear parts are available on the portal, with plans already underway to expand the product catalogue to include maintenance and collision parts, in addition to the delivery of parts to customers.

“Our customers are central to everything we do, and the digitalisation of our processes to increase customer convenience has been a key driver in the development of the Daimler Truck Parts Portal,” says Ziyad Gaba, Vice President Customer Service, Parts and Value Chain.
