To become closer to the customers to serve them better, the truck makers continue to make a strategic investment in the expansion of the network. The company today announced the opening of three new dealerships in Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala, and two new outlets to deliver parts in Tamil Nadu. The new touchpoints increase BharatBenz network’s monthly service capacity to over 6000 trucks annually. 

Despite the challenging time facing the Indian trucking industry, truck makers are betting big on the future as they continue to make strategic investments to take advantage when the market recovers. While the truck sales have been witnessing roller-coaster rides over the last 12-18 months, OEMs are hoping the challenging time will not last forever and demand for the truck will come back as the Indian economic prospects for the future remain gleaming.

The new dealerships are in Kolar and Davanagere in Karnataka, Bhimavaram in Andhra Pradesh, and Kasaragod in Kerala. DICV also inaugurated two new outlets to deliver parts in Theni and Tiruvarur in Tamil Nadu. The continued expansion demonstrates DICV’s firm commitment to the Indian market and BharatBenz community. The new touchpoints increase BharatBenz network’s monthly service capacity to over 6000 job cards per annum. 

Speaking on the new expansion of the network, Rajaram Krishnamurthy, VP Marketing, Sales and Customer Service, said, “Our goal is to increase customer convenience and offer state-of-the-art experience through our products and services.
