Unna/Osnabrück, 24 September 2019. Mazda Motor Logistics Europe has entered into a long-term partnership with overnight express service provider Night Star Express Hellmann N.V. As part of the partnership which was officially formed on 1 July 2019, Night Star Express Hellmann N.V. delivers several hundred consignments per day from Willebroek in Belgium to Mazda dealerships all over Germany. Mazda Motor Logistics Europe has joined forces with the Night Star Express network in order to further improve its pre-8 a.m. service to the German Mazda dealership network.
“We are delighted to have Mazda Motor Logistics Europe on board as a high-profile new client for Night Star Express. This partnership is a major step towards boosting our share of overnight deliveries for the automotive sector, which is of key strategic importance for us. The fact that we won the tender for this international contract attests to the quality of our international network and, particularly, the great partnership between the Night Star Express teams in Germany and the Benelux countries,” says Patrick Löwenthal, CEO Night Star Express Hellmann N.V., and Matthias Hohmann, Managing Director of Night Star Express GmbH Logistik.
West hub installed in Düsseldorf
Matthias Hohmann explains: “In order to be able to offer Mazda Motor Logistics Europe later pick-up times and to streamline the transport times from Belgium to Germany, we have set up a West hub in Düsseldorf. Since July 2019, several heavy goods vehicles, semi-trailers and vans have been leaving the Mazda spare parts warehouse in Belgium every day over the course of the afternoon and into the evening. After around three hours they arrive at the Night Star Express West hub in Düsseldorf, are unloaded and the consignments are distributed to the appropriate distribution routes within Germany. The team on site has been expanded so that we can guarantee all Mazda dealerships our "first-class" delivery performance by 8 a.m. at the latest, often much earlier. The hub in Düsseldorf also enables us to optimize the overall Night Star express network in Germany.”
Dieter Renne, Manager After-Sales Service at Mazda Motors (Germany), emphasizes that the parts supply process is a crucial element of the Mazda service business for multiple reasons: “In order to remain competitive, we need to offer reliable supplies every night. Because we expect our dealerships to pursue ambitious goals, they also have high expectations of us. The partnership with Night Star Express will help us to live up to these expectations in the future.”
