Intertruck MENA LLC is the fastest growing division of our Group. This year, for the sixth year running, we will be attending the event with a stand (H6-218). Here you will have the opportunity to discover Intertruck as the One-Stop-Shop for truck, trailer, bus and off-highway vehicle parts. Intertruck can supply 31,000 articles from local stock, and through intensive collaboration with suppliers, has rapid access to more than 200,000 articles. Our massive range is unique in the region. Not only can you turn to us for all known A-brands, but in addition, we are also able to offer a wide and rapidly growing range of products sold under our own Intertruck brand. More and more businesses are recognising the value of our Intertruck brand: products that comply with the European standard, manufactured according to OEM specifications, bearing all the relevant quality labels and sold at competitive prices.

For this edition of the trade event, Intertruck will once again be focusing on the subject of road safety, a key issue in the region. Intertruck supplies a wide range of products that can make a contribution to improving the safety of road users. Take for example the LEXGUARD system, the first active warning system for truck blind spots, or products aimed at increasing the visibility of vehicles such as our LED flashing units and vehicle markings. Our stand features an overview of our full range of safety-enhancing products.

Intertruck Group was established more than 50 years ago. The driving force behind our business is our capacity to match supply with demand, and to fulfil the needs and wishes of our clients. We have listened to the signals we have received from those clients regarding support in the operational process for the management of the supply chain. It is essential to fleet owners that their vehicles are ready for deployment at all times, as out-of-service vehicles immediately cost money. With that in mind, it is important to always have the necessary replacement parts on stock, although this is not always the core competence of a fleet owner. Intertruck has the people, knowledge, experience and logistic systems to fully take over the responsibility for the purchase and delivery of parts.

That is one of the reasons why we will also be presenting a brand-new concept at this show: our Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) solution. Based on this solution, Intertruck not only supplies you with parts but in fact offers a complete ‘mobility’ solution for your fleet. As well as delivering your company considerable cost and cash flow advantages, our system leads to improved efficiency within the total supply chain of between 20 and 30%! For more details of our VMI solution, read the article on page 8 in this magazine.

I am looking forward to meeting you, or to introduce you to one of my colleagues. We would like to explain to you the latest developments within our business, our new products and the innovative mobility solutions we have to offer!

“Unique product range, 50 years experience, tailor-made solutions.”

Part of the Unipart Group of CompaniesOur business operates independently within the international division of the Unipart Group of Companies (UGC), one of the largest privately-owned businesses in the United Kingdom. UGC operates in various market sectors including automo-tive, industry, telecom, rail, retail and technology. The custo-mer base of UGC includes Jaguar, Land Rover, Daihatsu and Vodafone. Worldwide, the company employs more than 10,000 people and generates an annual turnover of 1.6 billion dollars.

International expansionThe head office of the Intertruck Group, a 7,000m2 complex, is based in Rotterdam in the Netherlands. Over the last decade, new branches have been added in Germany, Dubai, Kenya and Zambia. We are also working on expanding our network of distribution partners in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, to be able to meet the needs of local markets. Over the next few years we will be focusing on further international expansion.

Unique range One of the main reasons for our growth is our extensive product range. Better than any of our competitors, we succeed in bringing together supply and demand. We offer our customers a unique One-Stop-Shopping concept. Intertruck is able to

supply more than 31,000 articles from local stock. Through inten sive cooperation with our suppliers, we also have rapid access to more than 200,000 articles. We are not only the ideal address for all known A-brands, but in addition we supply a wide and rapidly-growing range of products under our own Intertruck brand.

Quality first!All Intertruck branded products are compliant with European standards and are manufactured according to OEM specifi-cations, thereby meeting the highest quality requirements. We deliver these products at competitive prices. The combination of our range of A-brands and our own Intertruck brand is unique in the market, making our One- Stop-Shopping promise more than just hot air.

Read more about our products from page 24.

Knowledge & ExpertiseNaturally, it takes time to build up such an extensive product range. We have more than 50 years’ experience in the heavy-duty (parts) sector. We gladly share the knowledge and experience built up over that time with our customers, but it is also reflected in our Intertruck branded products.

The experience acquired over the last five decades means we have access to an extensive logistic network. This enables us to guarantee rapid and constant delivery of our products and services.

Up-to-date range As you are aware, developments in our sector are taking place in rapid succession. Against that background, our product managers travel the globe in search of new products to add to our range. Quality and availability are the guiding principles. In other words, we are constantly working on updating our product range. This not only means adding new products where necessary, but also guaranteeing that our products make use of the latest developments in technology. We use our own local people to be on top of this. In that way, we ensure that our product range always ties in with demand from the market.

Solutions made to fit Not only our product range fulfils the demands of the market. At Intertruck we gladly think along with our customers, so we can provide optimum support. In addition to products, we

therefore also deliver innovative mobility solutions. Take for example our Road Safety solutions or our new Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) solution that answers all your inventory management issues. Both of these concepts are offered specifically tailored to your needs and geared to the precise requirements of each individual customer.

Read elsewhere in this magazine about our Road Safety, page 14, and VMI solutions, page 8.

Proven track record Over the last 50 years, we have expanded to become a leading international player. Our customers return to us on the basis of that track record. Such a reputation of course takes some building. We are always perfectly clear. We say what we do, but perhaps even more importantly, we do what we say.

Intertruck Group combines knowledge & expertise with a solid focus on service. In combination with our unique product range and innovative mobility solutions, that makes us the ideal partner in heavy duty spareparts for the aftermarket.

Intertruck GroupIntertruck Group is an internationally-operating supplier of truck, trailer, bus and off-highway vehicle parts, established in 1963. During the last 50 years, the company has grown massively. Intertruck started out in Europe and by now has become a leading worldwide player, importing and distributing parts in the heavy duty sector. With market penetration of more than 95%, we are in fact market leader in the Benelux!

OEM specificationsThe guiding principle at Intertruck is quality. We therefore distribute products of all the main A-brand manufacturers. Not all customers are looking for an A-brand and within our One-Stop-Shop concept we additionally supply them with our own Intertruck brand as well. We have an excellent reputation that we do not wish to put at risk. Not every product is eligible to receive our logo. All Intertruck branded products are manufactured according to OEM specificati-ons and meet the relevant E quality label requirements and

ISO/DIN standards. Applications for certification have also been submitted to Gulf Standardization Organization (GSO) and ESMA, and we are confident of a positive outcome!

Consistent qualityWe guarantee a consistent quality for the entire range of Intertruck branded parts. Only OE- or A-brand manufacturers are eligible to fabricate our products. Intertruck operates a strict selection process for new suppliers, who are then

regularly audited by our own staff. This work approach means that we are confident that there is no risk in applying the Intertruck name to our products. It is not without reason that we offer a warranty of at least 1 year on all Intertruck products.

Knowledge & expertiseIn the 50 years since our business was established, we have built up a wealth of product knowledge. That expertise is natu rally very useful when it comes to the development of Intertruck products. Our brand is part of a business with decades of experience in the sector, so we know exactly what we are talking about. As a consequence, our products are enjoying great popularity, also because the product range is very carefully assembled, guaranteeing excellent market coverage.

Excellent availability All Intertruck products are available from stock, which means we can guarantee a prompt and steady supply. In that respect you can rely on us as well.

In addition, wherever possible, we apply an Intertruck

identify ing mark to the products

such as the article number and our logo.

Expanding the Intertruck labelGiven the growing demand for Intertruck branded products, we will invest heavily in expanding the range over the next few years. Our aim is also to ensure that the range is as up to date as possible, in order to keep meeting market demand. Against that background, we are constantly working to update our selection of products. All in all, reason enough to choose for the Intertruck brand!

Administrative proces

New: our VMI solutionEfficiency of your total supply chain up by 20 - 30%

Any fleet management represents a major investment in terms of equipment and manpower. To successfully carry out repairs, replacement parts are vital. After all, any broken part must immediately be replaced, because an out-of-service vehicle costs money. Against that background, it is essential for fleet owners to always have the right product on stock. Maintaining an inventory of this kind is backed up by a complex logistic process, and for many businesses, there is still much to be gained in terms of improving efficiency.

Vendor Managed InventoryTo support businesses in the operational process for the management of the supply chain, Intertruck Group has now developed its own Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) solution. Keeping the entire supply chain running, puts severe pressure on any organisation. It is not merely a question of juggling large numbers of different suppliers and delivery times; the real challenge lies in establishing and maintaining the ideal inventory level. Insufficient stock immediately results in problems, but an overfull inventory leads to cost problems in the longer term. The VMI solution from Intertruck offers the perfect balance. We have the people, knowledge and logistic systems to take over all your procurement and parts delivery requirements. In other words: we do what we are good at, while you can stick to what you do best.

Cost savingThe advantages are numerous. The most important element is that we guarantee that your inventory is always up to date, so that your vehicles can be rapidly repaired and you no longer have an overfilled warehouse. This means you save money, thereby directly improving the liquidity position and cash flow within your business. At the same time, the logistic process within your business is massively simplified and the administrative burden arising from purchase orders and invoices is greatly reduced since you now only have to deal with a single supplier.

Improved total supply chain efficiencyAll in all, our VMI solution offers a 20 to 30% improvement in the efficiency of your total supply chain. In addition, through collaborating with Intertruck, you will achieve a considerable saving on the procurement of parts. Since our business was established over 50 years ago, we have built up an excellent supplier network, as a result of which we are able to deliver all the well-known brands at very competitive prices. In case required, we can also supply (captive) parts branded by vehicle manufactures. However, we are not only the ideal address

for all A-brands. We also offer a broad and rapidly growing range of products under our own Intertruck brand. This range consists of products manufactured to OEM specifications, sold at a competitive price. In other words, Intertruck Group grants you access to a very wide aftermarket channel.

Careful preparation vital Should you opt for our VMI solution, you will effectively be entering into partnership with Intertruck. To achieve the best possible result, it is of key importance that both parties spend sufficient time on the preparation process. Here, too, as in all things, thorough preparation is the key. Before we are able to successfully manage your inventory, we first and foremost need information. Information about the size of your fleet, the marques and types of vehicles you operate and the construction year. Based on this information, we will be able to precisely chart out when you will need specific replacement parts. Whether or not there are changes, we will still keep in contact with one another.

More efficient business processes Opting for Intertruck as a VMI partner means that we will also be able to assist you with your business process management. By joining our systems together, the information flow travels in two directions. For example, if you have specified more than one article number in your system for a single product, we will correct the situation to just one number, thereby making your own business processes more efficient and more transparent. We will help you detect extraordinary wear and tear custom parts.

Intertruck VMI solution in the Middle East Vendor Managed Inventory concepts are not new. What makes the Intertruck solution unique, however, is our very broad range of products, our knowledge and expertise and the advanced logistic system at our disposal. With this VMI solution, Intertruck not only supplies spare parts, but in fact offers mobility for your entire fleet.

All in all, the VMI solution from Intertruck offers you 365 days a year access to high quality and competitively priced parts, the best service and the support of a business with more than 50 years’ experience as a key player in the heavy duty sector.

“Cooperation with Intertruck has proved highly effective.”

We would like to take this opportunity to give you a better picture of the added value our VMI solution offers, based on a brief case study of our collaboration with Al Jaber Leasing Services L.L.C. (ALES).

Why VMI? ALES is the first customer in the Middle East for which we have developed and implemented a custom VMI solution. The company manages and maintains a fleet of Mercedes Benz Actros vehicles, among others. ALES therefore sought

a partner that could help them improve fill rates to ensure JIT (Just In Time) inventory supply without any constraints for their daily workshop requirements.

“We were looking for a way to reduce our long term forecast horizon and investment in Mercedes Benz Actros inventory, putting an end to slow filling rates and pricing variables. We also wanted to reduce the daily administrative costs for the maintenance of our fleet. The VMI solution Intertruck proposed improved the JIT availability and supply of parts

considerably without any pricing constraints. This has greatly shortened the turnaround time for maintenance in our work-shops, which of course is very beneficial”, says Saher Hamd (Managing Director of Al Jaber Leasing Services).

Intertruck top-tier partnerVMI is not a new concept, so there are other companies in the region that provide this service as well. Nevertheless, the choice for Intertruck was quickly made. Saher Hamd says, “We chose Intertruck due to its proven track record as aftermarket partner in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Another important aspect was that Intertruck provides a tailor-made solution, using the daily operational requirements of our company as the starting point. Intertruck’s professionalism and high level of industry knowledge were clear from our first discussions.”

Mutual trustThe initial contact was on 1 September 2013, and we went live on 3 March 2014. From that moment Intertruck began opera-ting their own location in the ALES warehouse, from which parts are supplied for the workshops. The aftersales activities and parts deliveries are coordinated from the Intertruck branch in Dubai. It was only possible to achieve this in such short time because the cooperation is based on mutual trust. ALES provided up-to date information about the fleet and related projections. Intertruck, in turn, shares product knowledge,

and industry expertise and logistics systems to improve stock availability.

“Our collaboration with Intertruck is a transparent partnership. We therefore had no reservations about sharing day to day operational information”, says Saher Hamd.

“We have gained a lot of knowledge from Intertruck in connection with OEM spare parts. For example, they encouraged the introduction of additional OEM parts for the maintenance of our fleet. This has played a major role in lowering the total costs. It is clear, then, that the collaboration with Intertruck has proved very effective so far!”

Road SafetyIntertruck puts road safety first

The issue of road safety is currently in the spotlight in the UAE. That should come as no surprise, because the region is developing rapidly. As a consequence there is a lot of construction and the infrastructure is expanding rapidly, which is accompanied by more traffic and transport of goods. Improving road safety is therefore an important government priority. The focus is not only on products that enhance safety, but also on proper vehicle maintenance.

Safety firstIntertruck also puts safety first. We supply a wide range of safety products, which help prevent accidents and improve road safety. We are also happy to brainstorm with you! Working from your fleet specifications, we then put together a package tailored to the needs of your company.

Product qualityAttention to road safety also means that more and more emphasis is being put on proper vehicle maintenance and the quality of the replacement parts used. When you choose Intertruck products, you never have to worry about quality! All the products discussed below comply with the relevant

‘E’ type approvals and ISO/DIN standards. And we prove that safety does not have to be expensive, because our products are competitively priced.

As we said, Intertruck offers a wide range of safety products. For your convenience we have listed the major products. Given our extensive range, however, the possibilities are endless.

Want to know how Intertruck can make your fleet safer? Contact us [email protected] or on +971 4 885 8340.

Signalling panels

Warning signs are important when it gets to safety. Intertruck has a wide range of signalling panels to improve safety, road safety in particular. Ready to use or custom made. All our panels are made of the best quality materials to last in harsh conditions. Common used signalling panels in the Dubai region are warning signs near schools and warnings for hazardous substances.

Light bar

The Vantage LED Lightbar from Vision Alert was designed to offer excellent value in terms of cost, performance, durability, flexibility of configuration and, of course, easy installation and use. Suitable for any application where width of vehicle warning is required, Vantage is available in many configurations to suit any specific need.

• Available in-cab controller• 24 flash patterns• Five colour options: amber, blue, clear, green and red

• Four LED module options: warning, stop-tail-indicator, work lamp and alley light

• Three length options: 120, 130 and 150 cm• Seven standard chassis configurations• Customizable configuration available• Aluminium chassis; polycarbonate base and lens

Dobli

Most accidents involving trucks are related to vehicle’s blind spot. The DOBLI® (blind spot) mirror is the best solution for keeping an eye on this risk area! Installing a DOBLI® blind spot mirror makes cyclists and other vulnerable road users more visible to the driver. This mirror is an inexpensive, ‘E’ type approved, effective solution for all brands and types of trucks.

• Additional exterior mirror; gives the driver a complete field of vision

• European approved road-safety product• No electrical wiring; can be used in extreme conditions

• Available for all truck and bus brands and types• Easy to install • Proven solution; over 300,000 vehicles

equipped with the DOBLI® mirror in Europe

LEXGUARD

LEXGUARD is the first patented active warning system develo-ped to monitor the vehicle’s blind spot. Every year, people are killed and even more are injured in traffic as a result of the blind spot on trucks, trailers, buses and vans as they are turning right. The LEXGUARD warning system prevents these kinds of accidents.

The system not only detects people but objects as well, which prevents material damage. The active blind spot system works using sensors, which are attached to the right-hand side of the trailer and to the front and right-hand corner of the truck. These strips “feel and see” whether someone or something is located in the blind spot, and in the event of danger automatically emit a combined light and audio signal via a display inside the cabin. As the person of object comes closer to the vehicle, the light and sound signals intensify. This warns the driver he must respond immediately.

• Functions as a drivers’ sixth sense• Identifies dangerous situations and warns driver• Saves lives• Prevents damage• Enhances road safety• Prevents loss of image caused by accidents• Winner of various awards and subject of public praise• The LEXGUARD detection sensors have a standard

detection range of 0-125 cm• A modular system that can be expanded to include a much

larger detection range

Checkpoint wheel nut indicators

Detachment of wheels from vehicles, particularly heavy commer cial vehicles, has been a cause of concern for many years. Detached wheels can just come to rest and cause little or no damage. However, in worst cases it can collide with other vehicles/pedestrians causing accidents and even fatalities.

To help commercial vehicles prevent the problems of loose wheel nuts and wheel damage/detachment, Intertruck experts now represent Checkpoint®, the leading global manufacturer and supplier of loose wheel nut indicators, retainers and

wheel stud/hole monitoring kits, for this new edition of the Automechanika Dubai 2014.

Checkpoint® products are widely used in maintenance of conventional vehicles such as Coach & Bus, Trucks, LCV and Pick-ups as well as on specialised vehicles used in the Military, Mining and Agricultural Industries. Over the years Checkpoint® have also developed a range of products and sizes ideally suited for use in the Oil & Gas Sectors as well as for 4x4 vehicles up to large off the road vehicles.

Back-up alarms

Pedestrians and cyclists are not always aware of their vulnerability in heavy traffic and near reversing vehicles. The risk of getting injured or killed by reversing vehicles is much higher for these road users. Back-up alarms warn other road users by beeping when a vehicle is in reverse. Intertruck has a wide range of back-up alarms from various brands available from stock, which will minimize the risk of an accident because road users will be warned in time.

Side protection

Vehicle side protection is used to provide protection to vulnerable road users, such as pedes-trians and cyclists. The side protection is designed to prevent people getting underneath the side of the vehicle and being caught by the wheels. Side protection is one of the solutions to reduce severe injuries caused by collision incidents between heavy duty trucks and vulnerable road users.

Warning and safety products

ECCO Safety Group (ESG) is the new name in vehicle warning and safety products. Bringing together two great companies (ECCO and the former Britax Group) they offer an unparalleled range that includes warning beacons and directional lights, lightbars, signal and auxiliary lights, camera systems, alarms, mirrors, wiper equipment, worklamps, sirens and switches. Well known in this range are the warning beacons of Vision Alert. ESG operates globally with manufacturing facilities in America, Europe, Asia and Australia and with a combined know-how of around 900 dedicated team members they serve more than 3,000 customers worldwide. The Group contains the most respected brands in the business and it is their mission to be the worldwide leader in commercial vehicle warning and safety products.

Local Business ManagerAfter two years’ investment in the establishment of our African branches and acquiring knowledge of the local market, the time has come for us to further expand our activities.
