Mercedes-Benz Commercial Vehicle Center in Haan opened
State-of-the-art technology workplaces on 6,200 square meters
With light-flooded rooms and the latest technology, the Commercial Vehicle Center in Haan has been built to the latest standards as a sales base for Mercedes-Benz and FUSO trucks on a good 40,000 square meters of land and with around 6,200 square meters of usable space. The location will also function as a rental base for CharterWay vehicles. In service and after-sales, the target group also includes commercial van customers as well as Mercedes-Benz and Setra bus customers (service brand OmniPlus).
Another innovation in Haan is a state-of-the-art workstation for working on the roofs of buses – this is particularly relevant for the electric Mercedes-Benz eCitaro city bus, as it carries its batteries on the roof. Naturally, electric charging stations have also been planned at the site. In addition to four charging columns with a maximum of 300 kW DC current (high-power charger) for charging electric trucks and buses, several AC charging stations will also be available for vans and passenger cars.
The site’s location directly on the A46, Haan-East junction, provides optimum access to the existing infrastructure – also for long-distance traffic.
Sustainability at the site
The new location was built using a construction method that ensures a supply largely from renewable energies. In addition to a biological water treatment plant, a large-scale photovoltaic system will be installed on the roof in the future.
