The Volvo Group announced it will invest $37.7 million to open a new, West Coast parts distribution center.

The 115,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art Regional Distribution Center (RDC), will be located in Tacoma, Washington. It’s mission will be to better support its Volvo Trucks, Mack Trucks, Volvo Penta and Volvo Construction Equipment dealers in North America. 

The facility will employ about 20 people and is key to optimizing parts delivery and expanding coverage to dealers in the Northwest United States and Western Canada.

A Significant Expansion of Part Distribution Capabilities 

The new facility, which is expected to open in the first quarter of 2027, will become the primary RDC for approximately 240 dealers, reducing delivery times on stock orders by 1-2 days on average.

Additionally, it is expected to help the Volvo Group significantly reduce its CO2 emissions by centralizing order distribution closer to recipient dealers.

“This facility represents a significant expansion to the Volvo Group’s parts distribution capabilities, allowing us to reduce transportation lead times and improve reliability, especially for dealers in the more remote areas of Western Canada,” said Peter Andell, vice president of service market logistics for Volvo Group North America.

Once fully operational, the Tacoma RDC is expected to fulfill more than 500,000 order lines each year.
