BMW has opened a vehicle distribution centre (VDC) in the US port of Baltimore with logistics property developer Tradepoint Atlantic.
The 14-hectare site at Sparrows Point includes a 7,000 sq.m processing facility that has the capacity to process 100,000 vehicles annually. BMW said the new facility doubled the size of its previous VDC at the adjacent Dundalk Marine Terminal.
The vehicles processed there are imported to Baltimore port from Europe for onward delivery to 126 BMW and Mini dealers in the central and eastern regions of the US.
As well as serving as a distribution hub, the VDC will provide services including pre-delivery inspection, repairs, accessory installations, vehicle programming and maintenance.
