In 2013, the three major German commercial vehicle suppliers Bosch, Knorr-Bremse, and ZF founded Alltrucks Truck & Trailer Service. Since then, the joint workshop company has grown to become one of the largest franchise networks in Europe with around 700 connected operations for independent maintenance and repair of commercial vehicles.

According to their own statements, all warranties remain intact even with new vehicles through repairs and maintenance according to manufacturer specifications. Fleets with mixed vehicle types benefit especially from the cross-manufacturer approach of the workshop network, where they can practically have all their vehicles serviced at such centers. For immediate repair, the closest connected workshops can be located via the Alltrucks platform. The headquarters of Alltrucks is located in
