The new facility is scheduled to start operations at the end of 2024, replacing work currently carried out by three smaller logistics centres located in the same region. It will have additional operations to handle parts for eco-friendly vehicles, reflecting the expected growth of EVs in the country, while heavy/bulky parts will be handled by robots the company confirmed.
