Daimler Trucks & Buses said on Friday that it will keep its
service centers open across Europe wherever possible to keep
customer vehicles running and supplied during the coronavirus
pandemic.
The service network of Mercedes-Benz trucks, FUSO and Daimler
buses has around 3,000 centers across Europe.
"Trucks and buses are particularly important given the current
situation," the company said. "Right now, commercial vehicles for
transport and logistics must be available to ensure supply and
disposal, as well as emergency services."
The service centers will remain open even as auto manufacturers
and suppliers elsewhere suspend operations due to the spread of the
virus.
Parent company Daimler AG--maker of Mercedes Benz--suspended
production at the majority of its European manufacturing plants and
some administrative departments earlier this week. The halt is in
place for a fortnight.
