    Pune: Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Daimler Truck, has announced the inauguration of two new authorised BharatBenz dealerships under Autobahn Trucking in Talegaon (Pune) and Malegaon (Nashik district), Maharashtra.

    The expansion of Autobahn Trucking marks a significant step in strengthening BharatBenz’s presence across Western India and enhancing support for customers operating in key industrial and logistics corridors.

    Strategically located on NH48 (Mumbai-Bangalore old highway), the Talegaon dealership under Autobahn Trucking is situated approximately 30 km from Pune Airport and 28 km from Pune Railway Station.

    Meanwhile, the Malegaon facility is designed to cater to the industrial belt of Nashik district, enabling seamless service coverage across the region.

    Through this expansion, Autobahn Trucking aims to provide efficient service access to industrial hubs, construction sites, and logistics operations, where demand from captive fleet operators and transport companies continues to grow.

    The Talegaon facility, developed by Autobahn Trucking, stands out as one of the largest among OEM dealerships in Maharashtra. Spread across nearly 40,000 sq. ft. of built-up area on 3 acres of land, the state-of-the-art facility features 16 service bays with full 3S (Sales, Service, Spares) capabilities.

    With a skilled workforce, Autobahn Trucking has designed the facility to service approximately 7,200 vehicles annually, offering comprehensive support to customers across the Pune region.

    Complementing this, the Malegaon dealership by Autobahn Trucking strengthens the company’s reach in northern Maharashtra. Equipped with 2 service bays and a parts centre, the facility supports tanker, bulker, and agriculture segments operating across Nashik-Dhule and Agra-Indore-Mumbai routes.

    Both locations ensure less than a 3-hour customer reach on major highways, expanding Autobahn Trucking’s network footprint in Maharashtra to 19 touchpoints.
