Shriram Transport Finance Company Ltd. has just launched Shriram Automall in Vadodara. Mr. J.P. Gupta, Transport Commissioner of Gujarat, inaugurated the automall on April 30.
The facility, spread across 1,30,000 sq. feet, is the first-of-its kind initiative that will give access to the country’s large community of truck owners to trade their vehicles in a hassle-free manner. At the automall, apart from trading of commercial vehicles, the truck owner / contractor will also be able to explore financing and insurance options, as also minor and major repair facilities. Rest rooms for travel-fatigued truck drivers and cleaners are also provided as an add-on facility.
The overall plan is to have 50 such facilities strategically located on important highways of the country.
“Creating value for our truck owner community with utmost transparency is our aim. We strive to provide the best services to our customers and one-stop solution to all of them”, said Mr. U.G. Revankar, Deputy Managing Director of Shriram Transport Finance Company, on the occasion.
The automall will also house Shriram One Stop, a computerized touch screen kiosk which will be a virtual truck bazaar, providing real time information about used commercial vehicles available for sale and simultaneously facilitates registration of individual buyer’s requirements. One Stop will bring more transparency while buying and selling used commercial vehicles.
The automall will include Shriram New Look, wherein refurbished pre-owned commercial vehicles are put on display for buying with in-built financing options.
