Daimler Trucks North America’s (DTNA) Alliance Parts intends to continue expanding its retail footprint, adding a number of locations in the coming year.
The quickly growing retail base is complemented by an increasing product portfolio, which Alliance says will help match customers with the right part for the job, and driving value where and when needed most.
“Though last year was one of the toughest in memory, Alliance Parts didn’t let off the accelerator to continue fueling our growth strategy. We maintained our focus to expand our retail footprint and provide more options to deliver greater value for every one of our customers,” says Brad Williamson, director, Alliance Parts. “Looking ahead into 2021 and beyond, we plan to ramp up our expansion by introducing even more product lines, opening more new retail locations, and further leveraging the ExceleratorParts.com platform to truly serve as a one-stop shop for all fleets’ value parts needs.”
Alliance says its retail locations primarily stock Alliance Parts and Detroit Reman products, but for added value, can be used as order pickup locations for the full offering of DTNA Genuine and Premier parts to provide a one-stop shop for DTNA customers. Alliance Parts says it grew its retail footprint by nearly 55 percent in 2020, and expects to increase it by an additional 50 percent in 2021.

The company continues to expand its product offering. Alliance Parts expects to grow its product portfolio by an additional 30 percent in 2021. Recently added parts offerings from Alliance Parts include grilles, fenders, cordless brake shoes, aero/FlowBelow, calipers, mud flap hangers, new Cascadia bumpers, brake pads, DD Series 60 engine components (such as turbos, injectors, water and fuel pumps), electric shifters, headlights and suspension bushings.
