The trailer manufacturer Schmitz Cargobull is expanding its service offering with mobile deployment vehicles. As the company announced in a recent press release, a new fleet of service vans has been complementing the existing network of around 1,400 authorized partner operations in Europe since June 2025.
The new vehicles reportedly offer maintenance, repairs, and spare parts supply directly at the customer's location or on the road. The company relies on a franchise
model for this: the vans are operated by independent partners, supported by Cargobull services such as IT, invoicing, and spare parts supply.
According to the company, only certified spare parts are used - including both original parts and so-called Value Parts. The latter are intended to enable repairs based on the current value. The scope of the mobile service product includes work on trailers, cooling units, tires, and telematics systems. The services
are also aimed at vehicles from other manufacturers.
The first van is operated by Hatip Olcay, an experienced service and refrigeration technology specialist.
“Today I was on site with a customer and retrofitted a telematics unit - at 29°C and in bright sunshine. For the customer, this means no workshop visit, which would cause additional time, costs and organization, no driving time issues, as everything was installed without affecting driving times! No
stress, no interruption in the daily routine - just straightforward. The customer was really satisfied that everything was implemented smoothly and directly on site - without any additional effort, without detours, without downtime. That's how service should be,” Olcay is quoted by Schmitz Cargobull.
According to the company, the roll-out of the service vans is planned gradually over the next three to four years. After starting in Germany, other regions in Europe
