March 2010
Following the network's impressive performance in 2008, the Autodistribution Group, the French and European leader in the independent distribution of car and heavy goods vehicle parts, is continuing to roll out its dedicated sites.
The AD PL network has consolidated its position as the leading independent distribution network of IV (Industrial Vehicle) parts and services in France, showing in particular a 13% increase in Corporate Customers: This was a commendable result, which stabilised the HGV network's overall turnover for 2009. A partner to the major equipment manufacturers (over 100 equipment manufacturers listed), the AD PL network provides tailored solutions to customers owning Industrial Vehicles, Light Utility Vehicles, public works machinery, coaches, buses and agricultural machinery, from the self-employed to big road transport groups.
Supported by the great expertise of the Autodistribution Group, the AD PL network is pulling out all the stops to optimise the use and profitability of its customers' vehicles. Personnel, workshops, spare parts, cutting edge technology, technical diagnostics, remote management... A genuine synergy of skills and tools for made-to-measure service.
128 AD PL outlets, of which 110 are TACHY 1B approved, and 37 garages throughout the whole of France form the AD PL network. Today, the Autodistribution Group is reorganising this network by creating sites fully dedicated to heavy goods vehicles. This roll-out of centres dedicated to the profession, which is due to continue until June 2010, marks a genuine boost for the skills and expertise of the network's repairers.
