Volvo Group plans to invest some $37.7 million to open a new parts distribution center in Tacoma, Wash., aimed at improving parts availability and delivery times for its dealer network across the northwestern U.S. and western Canada.
The 115,000 sq.-ft. facility — which will become regional distribution center for nearly 240 dealers — is set to open in the first quarter of 2027 and will support Volvo Trucks, Mack Trucks, Volvo Penta and Volvo Construction Equipment dealers.
Volvo said in a news release it expects to reduce delivery time on stock orders by one or two days on average. Once fully operational, the Tacoma RDC is expected to fulfill more than 500,000 order lines each year.
“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, vice president of service market logistics for Volvo Group North America.
The company added this RDC network expansion will further help its sustainability goals, reducing CO2 emissions due to closer proximity to the dealerships.
