is the leading Mercedes-Benz distributor in the United Kingdom, with a network of ten dealerships across Kent, Essex, Hertfordshire, and East England, employing over five hundred staff.
The journey began in 1971 in western France, initially focused solely on commercial vehicles. Over the years, car and utility vehicle operations were added, and dealerships multiplied-first regionally until 2013, then nationally, before expanding internationally in 2019. In 2024, SAGA Mercedes-Benz expanded to England with the acquisition of 10 dealerships, previously owned by Sparshatt Truck and Van and Motus Truck & Van. Today, SAGA has an international presence (in France, Belgium, England, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, and the Czech Republic) and represents 70% of the RCM group's revenue.
SAGA Truck & Van is part of the French RCM group, created and led since 1999 by Ronan Chabot. Strongly attached to its region and values, RCM expanded intensively-first regionally, then across France, before expanding internationally in 2019 with the SAGA Mercedes-Benz network and adding a new activity: boating. Today, the group remains a French family business with a global outlook, distributing iconic brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Lexus, Porsche, Beneteau, Azimut, Galeon, and Highfield internationally (in France, Belgium, Switzerland, Liechtenstein, England, and the Czech Republic). Our values have remained the same since day one: Passion, Performance, and Respect. In 2018, RCM was named France's Distributor of the Year, and in 2021 won the Family Saga award at the French Automotive Distribution Grand Prix.
