Distributor Meeting in Gent: Moving forward together

14& 15 September 2023

“Moving Forward Together” means for Terberg to cooperate with the best representatives of our brand worldwide and to share our culture and know-how.

We are honored to work with so many talented people and we understand that sharing our vision and strategy is important to retain our valuable partnership. It is the key to our future success. Therefore these days are so important!

It has been too long since we all have been together. This is why we have decided to combine sales and after-sales.

You can expect a variety of activities and contents to be discussed. On the first day we will start with a plenary session about Terberg Special Vehicles, followed by interactive workshops to share information and receive your feedback. In the afternnoon we will visit DFDS and Terberg Tractors Belgium in its brand new facility, followed by an evening program at an external location.

On the second day we will continue with the workshops, followed by interesting key note speakers in the afternoon. We will round off the event with a quiz. You can find more details in the agenda below.

WORKSHOPS


EV AND AUTOMATION
In fact this is all about the future. The road to this future is not without hurdle’s. So we will talk about how can we overcome these and what is our Strategy for the coming years. After-sales for this type of vehicles will require changes in our and your organisation. Also the training to be ready for this will be subject of this workshop.

RT: COMPETITIVENESS UPGRADE AND EV
All you want to know about the RT products. We will present the results of a review we have done amongst several large customers with regards to the Electrification of the RT. The results will be presented and discussed. For after-sales, options with regards to repowering, midlife updates, overhaul and connectivity will be subjects for this workshop.

YT AND RENTAL
The new YTxx3 is now 3 years on the market. What new options are available, what has been improved and how was it received in the market? The subject of rental has been discussed before. This is so important to be able to remain financially strong, that again we have put it on the agenda.

OPC AND SERVICE CALCULATOR
Both in sales and after-sales we have a new system that will help you to easier offer the products and its related service to your customers. We will show you what these are, when they will be available for you and what advantages these have for you.
