Kia UK has named the dealers who will be selling its new PBV commercial vehicle range.
The centres are planned to be fully operational by late 2025, coinciding with first UK deliveries of the Kia PV5.
Many of the dealers already support Kia’s own fleet and business customers or serve commercial vehicle customers at multi-brand commercial vehicle sites.
Every PBV Centre will be equipped with its own dedicated facilities and specialist resources to support customers quickly and efficiently.
This includes a sales area with display units, a service reception, dedicated workshop with high-capacity vehicle ramps, specialist Kia equipment and tools, and of course a supporting team of staff including sales, dedicated technicians and a service advisor.
Initially, Kia UK plans to sell between 3-4,000 units of PV5 in its first full year from PBV Centres, building to around 17,000 PBV sales by 2030 in the UK.
Paul Philpott, president and CEO of Kia UK, said: “The new PBV Centre network will be built on the back of our successful partnership with our dealer network and the vast majority of our new PBV Centres will be managed by an existing partner.
“The new network will be formed of a combination of standalone facilities; linked to multi-brand van centres; or at existing Kia locations.
“We will capitalise on our fleet and business expertise within our network and are looking to operate very much under the same franchise principals we employ across our car business that have earned praise from our partners and customers alike.”
