Dubai: Dubai World Central (DWC), the world’s first purpose-built aerotropolis, has announced that Hino Motors Limited, one of the largest truck and bus manufacturers in the world, has opened a new parts facility at the Logistics District. Spread over 5,400 sqm, Hino Motors Middle East Parts Depot (HMMED) will cater to Gulf Cooperative Council (GCC) to shorten delivery times and reduce logistics costs considerably.
The new parts depot at DWC will be Hino Motors third spare part depot after the US and Belgium. Prior to the new depot, the company used to supply spare parts to the GCC market from its Belgium depot which was serving the Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region. The new facility at DWC will enable Hino Motors to supply spare parts and other units directly from their manufacturing unit in Japan for delivery to the GCC market, creating a huge impact on customer satisfaction.
Mohsen Ahmad, Vice-President – Logistics District, Dubai World Central, said: “Dubai World Central is a fully integrated development offering state-of-the art facilities for trade and logistics companies. The new warehouse for Hino Motors offers the strategic advantages of our location along with facilities such as multimodal transport, fast-cycle logistics environment, and proximity to Al Maktoum International Airport and Jebel Ali Sea Port through a dedicated logistics corridor which will significantly benefit the company.”
