Just under a year and a half after the ground-breaking ceremony, Daimler Truck officially opened the Mercedes-Benz Commercial Vehicle Center Munich Aschheim today.
Covering a site area of around 44,500 square meters in Aschheim near Munich, the center will offer sales and service for Mercedes-Benz and FUSO trucks, as well as service for Mercedes-Benz and Setra buses and Mercedes-Benz vans.
From the outset, the new building has been excellently prepared for the future of transportation: for example, high-voltage workstations have been set up in the 3,200 square meter workshop area to service battery-electric models such as the Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 and eEconic trucks, the FUSO eCanter, and the Mercedes-Benz eCitaro city bus.
A total of 25 parking spaces are available for trucks, buses, and vans, with the option of expanding to nine additional spaces.
In addition, a state-of-the-art, variably adaptable workstation has been created in Aschheim for working on vehicle roofs – on truck cabs or bus roofs. This so-called roof workstation is particularly relevant for the Mercedes-Benz eCitaro electric city bus, as it carries its batteries on the roof.
Other highlights of the new building include: repair and accident service with frame straightening technology, semi-trailer and trailer bodywork service, test center for general inspections, emissions testing and other tests, and parts and accessories sales.
The maintenance and repair of vehicles with hydrogen-based drive technologies was also considered from the outset at the Aschheim site: the workshop has a fully equipped gas workstation with gas sensors and a specific exhaust air system that already meets the requirements for hydrogen. The requirements for releasing hydrogen at a so-called evaluation site in front of the workshop and for refueling after a workshop visit will be installed by the end of 2025.
