The facility, expected to open in the first quarter of 2027, will employ about 20 people and serve as the primary regional distribution center for approximately 240 dealers. Volvo Group said the new site will reduce delivery times on stock orders by an average of one to two days and expand parts coverage for dealers in the Northwestern United States and Western Canada. The company also expects the centralized location to help reduce carbon dioxide emissions by shortening transportation distances.
“This facility represents a significant expansion to the Volvo Group’s parts distribution capabilities, allowing us to reduce transportation lead times and improve reliability, especially for dealers in the more remote areas of Western Canada,” said Peter Andell, VP of service market logistics for Volvo Group North America, in a statement.
Once fully operational, the Tacoma regional distribution center is expected to fulfill more than 500,000 order lines annually.
