Relais Group Plc group company Raskone initiates repair and maintenance services for Maxus electric heavy commercial vehicles in its workshops in Vantaa and Turku.
Raskone is Finland's largest independent commercial vehicle repair and maintenance workshop chain, which employs nearly 450 people in 17 locations. The company celebrates its 30th anniversary next year and has extensive experience and expertise in various commercial vehicles. Raskone comprehensively takes care of the maintenance of commercial vehicles and their superstructures, including demanding troubleshooting and damage repairs.
Raskone's Managing Director Jan Popov: "Raskone focuses on keeping the wheels of our customers' equipment rolling in all its operations. Thanks to our agile work arrangements, we minimize downtime and enable our customers' business to continue without interruption. Our comprehensive network of workshops and our extensive expertise enables us to offer versatile maintenance and repair services under one roof.
The cooperation with Maxus fits perfectly with our strategy to be an active player on the way towards the electrification of the industry and quieter, emission-free transports. We have invested in electrification and actively trained our personnel, so we look forward to serving Maxus' professional customers. We will start Maxus' maintenance operations at the Vantaa and Turku locations, and we will later expand the operation to our other locations as needed."
Maxus Finland's Sales Director Heidi Nieminen: "Raskone is a leading player in its field and has a lot of experience in the maintenance of heavy commercial vehicles. As heavy commercial vehicles account for an increasing share of Maxus’ sales, Raskone offers us the opportunity to serve professional drivers even with demanding maintenance needs. The timing for this new collaboration is perfect, as we are just about to launch a new electric 7.5-ton EH300 light truck."
