Chinese vehicle manufacturer Omoda & Jaecoo has launched its first regional parts storage distribution center in the UAE’s Jebel Ali Freezone (Jafza), according to a statement released on Friday. The investment ticket for the project has not been disclosed.
What we know: The 12k sqm facility will reduce the shipping cycle by 85%, down to nine days from 60. It is located in close proximity to key logistics hubs including Jebel Ali Port and Al Maktoum International Airport.
The breakdown: The storage center will stock over 20k different parts, which host a parts variety fulfilment rate of 95% and a core component fulfilment rate of 100%, the statement says. To boost operational efficiency, the facility has integrated a wireless warehouse management system to monitor inventory levels and the movement of goods. The distribution hub also offers a 24-hour supply of urgent Vehicle Off-Road (VOR) parts.
Sounds familiar? Omoda & Jaecoo partnered with shipping giant AP Moller-Maersk to boost vehicle warehousing and distribution initiatives across the UAE last week. The partnership will target the storage and delivery of spare parts, finished vehicles and PDIs.
