Renault And Nissan Open Joint Parts Warehouse In Hungary


June 2005
 Filed under: NISSAN Car News | NISSAN Headlines

The warehouse delivers spare parts to the Renault, Nissan and Dacia dealer networks in Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Slovenia.

Renault and Nissan today opened their new European Distribution Centre in Györ, Hungary. Set up as a result of the growth of Renault group brands and expanding Alliance activities in Europe, it will provide spare parts for the Renault and Nissan dealer networks in Central Europe.
The joint warehouse covers a total storage and service area of 19,000 square metres: 12,300 for Renault and 6,700 for Nissan. Its capacity allows for the expected expansion of the parts business in Central Europe over the next five years. The surface area was also calculated to cope with the increasing number of different spare parts available.

The centre will handle 21,000 Renault parts, 2,300 Dacia parts and 17,000 Nissan parts. It has been designed to process more than 2 million orders, making the center one of the most efficient in Europe. Operations, supply and dealer relations will be handled by Renault, which has the biggest parts business in the region covered by the centre. Renault and Nissan have opted for a new IT system developed jointly. A total of €13 million was invested in the joint warehouse.

The new centre is run by a wholly-owned Renault SAS subsidiary called Hungarian Alliance Logistics, which employs 80 people.

The European Distribution Centre is in the town of Györ, Hungary, about 100 kilometres from Vienna, Austria, and 60 kilometres from Bratislava, Slovakia. This central location enables both automakers to supply the countries concerned as cost-effectively as possible. Renault parts are delivered to Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and Nissan parts to Austria, Hungary, Slovakia and Slovenia. The warehouse will also be used to store Dacia parts for the Czech Republic, Hungary and Slovakia.

Two major goals for the Renault-Nissan Alliance

With nearly 125,000 new vehicles sold in 2004, Renault and Nissan together account for 11.7% of the market in Central Europe (10% for Renault and 1.7% for Nissan). The spare parts business in this market has also been growing considerably.

By opening the centre, Renault and Nissan share two major goals: improve customer service quality and cut costs. Storing all the parts at a single site should enable total costs to be significantly reduced. The Györ centre will generate synergies in supplies and distribution as well as in operating costs.

Outside Europe, the partners support each other by using their respective infrastructures in the countries where they are established. Spare parts logistics are managed by Nissan in Japan, Australia, Mexico and South Africa, and by Renault in Mercosur, Morocco and Romania.
