KSC Transport in Romania relies on the Mercedes ServiceCard

In the event of a breakdown – this is also part of the all-round package – Mercedes-Benz Service is available 24 hours a day. “We receive vital information on our mobile phones via the UTA app,” says Kiss, and he mentions the service station search and fuel price comparison as examples.

“We use the card for all our trucks with the star, and whenever we get a new one a card is automatically issued for it,” adds Kiss, who founded the company in 1994. He acquires new trucks at a steady pace. For years he has been consistently investing in growth, turning his company into a powerhouse in the process. Today he owns 34 trucks, of which 18 are Actros, and 110 trailers. If the vehicles of the 80 or so subcontractors working for KSC Transport on a permanent basis are included, the fleet amounts to some 150 trucks – and rising.

“It means we’re big enough to handle any type of transport contract,” says Kiss. And yet, he says, the operation is also lean enough to be able to work closely with each individual customer – the industrial goods manufacturer ordering deliveries from Italy to Germany using combined transport, or the beverage company supplying customers throughout Europe directly from Romania. Sebastian Kiss has every confidence that they will be able to retain the necessary flexibility even as they continue to grow – not least thanks to the Mercedes ServiceCard.
