Volkswagen: New commercial vehicle center in Givisiez
Following Uster, Grenchen and Muttenz, a fourth regional competence center for VW commercial vehicles has been in operation since this week just outside Fribourg in Givisiez. According to Alvaro Rico, district manager for commercial vehicles at importer AMAG, ten more such centers are planned throughout Switzerland by 2019, with the next to follow in Ticino. So far in the premises [...]
Previously housed on the premises of AMAG Fribourg, the new center for VW commercial vehicles is now an independent operation with twelve full-time employees. These will serve customers throughout the canton. Thanks to the proximity of the two AMAG operations, synergies can be exploited, which will benefit customers. 382 of the 1779 commercial vehicles registered in the canton of Fribourg in 2015 were VW models, which corresponds to a share of 21.47 percent.
Over 440 square meters of exhibition space
The amount of investment is about seven million francs. Thanks to a land area of 6110 square meters, a showroom of 440 square meters was created. There is also space for second-hand vehicles in front of the building and parking spaces for customers. From now on, the latter can expect professional advice before and after the purchase, in order to remain constantly mobile throughout the cycle of a VW commercial vehicle.
