Measures for the protection and care of drivers

Vehicle delivery is currently possible at all locations in line with local regulatory requirements. At each location, we are providing sanitary facilities for drivers, which are open around the clock as far as possible. Driver well-being is also taken into account when picking up the vehicle. Hot and cold drinks as well as various snacks are available free of charge. These are partly handed out from machines or as hygienically pre-packaged snacks.

Schmitz Cargobull service network remains ready for use

The supply of spare parts via the logistics network has so far been running without significant restrictions. The supply by our suppliers is stable with very few exceptions and is under daily observation. Our service partners are available even in the most affected countries such as Spain and Italy. There are some restrictions due to reduced opening times. The 24-hour breakdown service from Cargobull Euroservice provides roadside assistance as usual. The Cargobull Euroservice hotline can be reached around the clock free of charge at 00 800 24 227 462 855. Information can be obtained and spare parts can be ordered via the Schmitz Cargobull service portal www.cargobull-serviceportal.com.
