Delivering Complete, Turnkey Vehicle Solutions

Being appointed as a GC Partner means Solomon Commercials plays a much broader role than that of a traditional refrigerated temperature controlled bodybuilder. Solomon Commercials becomes an integrated project partner, managing the complete vehicle build process in close collaboration with Mercedes-Benz Trucks. Through this partnership, customers benefit from a fully coordinated, temperature controlled vehicle solution. The truck chassis and the customised body are developed together as one integrated product, ensuring the highest levels of compatibility, performance and reliability.

One of the defining feature of the GC Partner model is the single invoice structure. End customers can purchase the entire vehicle – including both the Mercedes-Benz chassis and the bespoke Solomon Commercials body directly through Mercedes-Benz Trucks under one integrated invoice. This streamlined approach simplifies procurement and ensures customers receive a complete, factory supported refrigerated vehicle solution.

A Recognition of Quality and Capability

GC Partner status is only awarded to body builders who have already achieved “Qualified Partner by Mercedes-Benz Trucks” status, a certification that requires meeting strict standards across quality, engineering capability, sales competence and after-sales support. By meeting the highest standards set by Mercedes-Benz Trucks criteria, Solomon Commercials has demonstrated its ability to design and deliver high performance temperature controlled vehicle bodies that complement the engineering excellence of Mercedes-Benz trucks.

Ensuring Lifetime Support

A key element of the GC Partner programme is the commitment to long-term service and support. Solomon Commercials will ensure that maintenance and servicing of the bodywork is carried out in line with Mercedes-Benz Trucks highest standards. This reinforcing Solomon Commercials after sales service Solomon Bodyguard. This integrated approach guarantees customers consistent quality, reliability and support throughout the entire lifecycle of their vehicle.

Strengthening Specialist Vehicle Expertise

For Solomon Commercials, becoming a GC Partner represents the company’s continued growth and recognised expertises as the UK leading refrigerated temperature controlled vehicle manufacturer. The partnership strengthens the company’s ability to deliver highly specialised commercial vehicles, combining Solomon Commercials’ body engineering expertise with the proven performance and innovation of Mercedes-Benz Trucks.

By working closely with Mercedes-Benz Trucks, Solomon Commercials will continue to develop tailored temperature controlled refrigerated vehicles that meet the evolving needs of industries.
