en.Wedoany.com Reported - Daimler Truck's Global Parts Center (GPC) in Halberstadt, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, is now fully operational. The logistics center has been gradually commissioned since its opening in summer 2025, and all global spare parts supply for Mercedes-Benz trucks is now fully managed from this site.

Daimler Truck stated on June 24 that it is currently securing and optimizing processes at the location. Andreas Spreter, head of the GPC, said in a press release that since June 22, 2026, the last markets and customers previously handled by the Germersheim site have also been transferred, with global supply now fully shifted to Halberstadt. Parts dispatched from this center are sent to 20 regional parts centers worldwide, which in turn supply dealers in all Mercedes-Benz truck markets.

Since summer 2025, the GPC has stored thousands of spare parts in different warehousing areas as part of a phased commissioning plan. Following the small parts warehouse, the high-bay warehouse became operational at the end of the year, the company logo has been installed on the exterior wall of the warehouse, and a public bus route has been extended to the GPC main entrance. In November 2025, the first truck carrying parts departed from the GPC for Spain. After Spain, France, and Italy, other European countries followed—since mid-February, the GPC has been supplying spare parts from Halberstadt to all of Europe. Subsequently, markets such as Brazil, Indonesia, and South Africa were gradually included. Global logistics company DP World manages the daily operations of the GPC on behalf of Daimler Truck, covering logistics processes such as receiving, shipping, and warehousing.

The logistics site supplies up to 300,000 different materials—from the smallest screw to a complete truck cab—to dealers in over 170 countries worldwide. Approximately 2,600 Mercedes-Benz truck suppliers provide parts to this site. According to a three-tier aftermarket logistics process, parts are sent from the GPC to 20 regional parts centers, which then supply nearly 3,000 dealers.

Thanks to modern warehousing and conveyor technology, all vehicle parts are stored in an automated high-bay warehouse and a parts warehouse. The high-bay warehouse covers approximately 10,000 square meters and is 40 meters high. All parts are stored in grid boxes, which are automatically moved into or out of the high-bay racks on two levels by electric floor transport vehicles (EBB), saving space and storing around 70,000 grid boxes. Twenty-one stacker cranes in the warehouse are responsible for receiving grid boxes and delivering them to storage locations. The parts area consists of an "AutoStore" warehouse, where approximately 160,000 gray bins are placed in a framework called a grid, and 56 robots operate fully automatically to process orders.

The GPC implements a dynamic warehousing principle, abandoning fixed classifications and locations for parts. Incoming parts are assigned locations by the system, and the exact storage position of each spare part is recorded in the logistics system. The site was planned from the outset to achieve carbon-neutral operations, with an energy concept that completely avoids fossil fuels, requiring no natural gas or oil. Over 90% of the roof area (approximately 250,000 square meters) is equipped with components of one of Europe's large rooftop photovoltaic systems.
