To keep meeting demand and to further increase the quality of our Citroen Peugeot used car parts, we are expanding our warehouse for spares and cars. 

Both car parts and vehicles will be stocked in specific racking and with this step we are bringing our whole company indoors.
 

Car parts warehouse and car storage

Straight behind our existing building another one will arise to a height of about 12 meters and with a capacity of 22.000 qubic meters. To make full use of this space the vehicles will be stored in tailor made steel racking. For the parts man-up orderpickers will reach even to the top shelves through the aisles. 
 

We keep you posted

The build has started late last year and we are planning to have things operational somewhere half way 2018. In the mean time we will keep you posted on this webpage and our social media. 

The first cars have been moved into the new warehouse, the special racking allows us to store more of them within a limited amount of space. The top levels of the racking will also contain used car spares.

Partially the new building is used to store used car parts, the racking goes up to 11 meters in height.

The installation of the superflat concrete floor has been something special. Since we are going to use order picker trucks on heights up to 11 meters the floor needs to be extremely flat. A video was made to give you an overview of this specialist job:

Please check the video below, it will give you a good impression of the size of our expansion after the wall panels en roofing panels have been installed:

And the construction of the steel frame

In 2016 the Dutch car recycling reached a record recyclingpercentage of 98,7 percent of the weight of all dismantled cars! 

In 2016 the Dutch car recycling reached a record recyclingpercentage of 98,7 percent of the weight of all dismantled cars! 

Because of the effort of car dismantlers, shredder companies and recycling companies the mandatory 95% was exceeded with a big margin. In total 185.740 cars were dismantled which resulted in 57 miljon kilograms of recycling materials.

Car parts reuse

88,9% of the 98,7% is reached by product and material reuse. The sales of used car parts is a very important share of this 88,9% with reuse being the most pure form of recycling.

Recycling fee on new cars

To fund the whole recycling circle Dutch new car buyers pay a mandatory recycling fee of Euro 42,50 per car. This fee is suspected to drop to Euro 35,- by 2020 due to further efficiency improvements in the system.

To encourage the reuse of automotive parts and help the consumer car workshops in France are obliged to offer used car parts for repairs. This law is in force from January 1, 2017 and should facilitate the selection of second-hand spare parts for the car owner.

After a long time of hard work we are proud of the end result of our classic Citroen DS Rally built project! Apart from a few technical details we have achieved a very nice final result! This rallycar will be extremely hard to miss in its applegreen and red livery, we have already had some very positive feedback.
 

First time the rally DS was shown at a local event in Mook (NL):

And on the 14th of september 2013 the classic rallycar was an attraction on the Citroen DS Racing show at our collegea Van Hunnik Ede(NL):
  

One has got to do what he has to do...
Initially this project started as a restoration of an old but promising Citroën DS. But after a short while the old racing roots came back to the surface and the plan changed into the creation of a Citroen DS classic rallycar project. 

So luxury and comfort had to be thrown out of the window and efficiency and extra safety became the new key factors.












The original rear fenders were modified for rally purposes.

   

Theodor took care of the design, Bart did the grinding afterwards.

Racy bucket seats were installed where the comfortable sofa once was. A specially designed seat frame had to be welded in order to provide the right driving position. 6 point racing harnesses were mounted to keep the drivers in their seats at all times.

 

Both men are hungry to compete! But they are even more eager to return home safely in case of a crash.
That's why a certified rollcage was installed by an expert.  

Lot's of tubing welded into the car, a fair bit of science was involved to achieve the right safety results.

Safe and sound with bucket seats, racy feeling once you have managed to get into the car. It has to de road legal as well. 

Checking the dashboardwiring became a time consuming job. Allthough Theodor suffers from color blindness, we still managed to get the wiring sorted. Bart was never far away with his voltmeter. 

Once we got the engine running, there was still a lot of work to be done. 
To be continued....
