Compound, Logistics and Road Test
Our facility in Born is strategically located for smooth distribution across Europe. It is situated directly next to the motorway for efficient logistics management. The site is designed to handle a large number of vehicles and provides ample space for temporary storage during the PDI process.

We offer comprehensive handling services, including parking, inventory management, and scheduled monthly maintenance. This ensures your fleet remains in excellent condition.

To ensure the highest quality, our location also features a fully equipped test track with various road surfaces. This allows us to thoroughly test the NVH performance and functionality of each vehicle before delivery.
