Auto Truck Group Offers Mercedes-Benz Ship-Thru

Auto Truck Group, a work truck upfitter specializing in the design, manufacture, and installation of equipment,  has entered into a new agreement with Mercedes-Benz to offer ship-thru service for the Mercedes van product line. Auto Truck Group is further recognized as a preferred vehicle upfitter granted an exclusive Mercedes Master Solutions designation.  

“We are very excited about our new relationship with Mercedes and expect the Sprinter and Metris van models to be core series for our upfit customers,” said Jim Dondlinger, president of Auto Truck Group.

In support of its new relationship with Mercedes and the expansion of its ship-thru program, Auto Truck Group is set to open a new facility in eastern South Carolina strategically situated just seven miles from the Mercedes van plant that just broke ground on a $500 million addition. The forthcoming Auto Truck Group service center, located in Summerville, S.C., is expected to be operational by Oct. 1, 2016.  

With the addition of Mercedes-Benz, Auto Truck Group now has ship-thru service with five major OEMs, including Chrysler, General Motors, Ford, and Toyota. 

“Our geographic spread into the southeast U.S. and expansion of our ship-thru capabilities are a significant part of our overall growth plan. It positions us for new opportunities and enables us to better serve our customers,” Dondlinger said.   

When customers order Mercedes vans and use the Auto Truck Group ship-thru code, the vehicles will be sent directly to Auto Truck Group’s Summerville facility for any upfitting needs. Once complete, the vehicles will be returned to the plant to be entered into Mercedes’ transportation system to the end destination.
