I.A. Årsredovisning 2020 ENG 1
Through six subsidiaries in Sweden, in 68 facilit
ies we operate under the Hedin Bil brand. The year as such has been one of many challenges and has led to new ways of working, new processes and a new mindset. This has ultimately been to our advantage and we have in many ways streamlined the company. HEDIN GÖTEBORG BIL AB OCH HEDIN HELSINGBORG BIL AB During the year we have received new additions through a new facility in Alingsås for Nissan and Kia. The existing dealership in Alingsås is now a single brand facility for Mercdes-Benz. At the beginning of 2020, Kia single brand was also inaugurated in Trollhättan. During the year, we have also remodeled the Kia dealership in Lysekil. In general, deliveries decreased by 8% and workshops decreased by 3% in sales but managed to maintain their gross margins in SEK. We increased our sales of new Mercedes-Benz passenger cars by 15% (900 cars), which also means that we have a record order backlog (about 1,500) with us into 2021. Mercedes-Benz trucks lost in sales during the year with about 30%, which is in line with the market. The year brought in several large business opportunities such as 139 transport service buses that Multibrand in Hisings Kärra delivered. At the Transport and Truck Center in Helsingborg, a major deal was signed for 40 trucks with the freight forwarder GDL in April. I.A. HEDIN BIL AB / ANNUAL REPORT / 2020 21 02. HEDIN BIL
