Shriram Transport Automall
opened in Aurangabad
Shriram Transport Finance Com-
pany Ltd. (STFC) has launched Shr-
iram Automall in Aurangabad. This
brings to the city the country’s first
single-window destination for trade
of pre-owned trucks.
Inaugurated
by
Mr.
U.G.
Revankar, Deputy Managing Di-
rector, STFC, the facility, spread
across a sprawling 2 lakh sq. ft. feet
space, is the first-of-its kind initia-
tive, which will give access to the
country’s large community of truck-
owners to trade their vehicles in a
hassle-free manner.
Apart from trading of trucks, Au-
tomall also helps owners seek fi-
nancing and insurance options, as
well as provides major and minor
repair facilities.
The company plans to have a pan-
India network of 50 such Automalls
strategically located on important
highways of the country.
“The Automall is a one-stop which
facilitates buying and selling of used
commercial vehicle and will also as-
sist registration of an individual buy-
er’s requirement. Road transport is
the lifeline of India’s growing econ-
omy. Automall will benefit truckers
by promptly replacing their vehi-
cles, leading to modernization of the
country’s trucking fleet. The facility
will house hundreds of pre-owned
vehicles both in as-is-where-is and
refurbished condition and truckers
will be able to trade in a transparent
manner. This is the first Automall
in Aurangabad, and we hope that it
brings progress and eases life of the
truckers”, said Mr. Revankar.
The Automall also houses Shr-
iram One Stop, a computerized
touch screen kiosk which is a virtual
truck bazaar, providing real time in-
formation about used commercial
vehicles available for sale and si-
multaneously facilitate registration
of individual buyer’s requirements.
One Stop will bring more transpar-
ency in the process of buying and
selling used commercial vehicles.
