Saudi-based Batic Investment and Logistics Company has confirmed a new agreement to upgrade its transport operations through a significant vehicle purchase. The company revealed that its wholly owned subsidiary, Saudi Transport and Investment Company (Mubarrad), will acquire 90 truck heads from German manufacturer MAN via supplier Haji Husein Alireza & Co. Ltd.
According to a filing submitted to the Saudi stock exchange, Tadawul, the order consists of 90 MAN 20-tonne truck heads from the 2026 model range. Delivery will take place in Riyadh as part of a broader initiative to modernise Mubarrad’s fleet and enhance operational performance across its logistics network.
Batic stated that the value of the agreement represents roughly 10 per cent of its net assets. The purchase will be funded through a combination of existing banking facilities and internal cash flows, reflecting the company’s stable financial footing and ongoing investment strategy.
MAN to provide 2-year warranty package
The trucks will be delivered within Saudi Arabia and will come with a two-year warranty package, including one year of unlimited mileage coverage. This is expected to provide operational reliability while reducing maintenance-related uncertainties during the initial period of use.
The company highlighted that the acquisition forms a central element of Mubarrad’s strategy to improve efficiency, increase transport capacity and meet growing demand across key sectors such as pharmaceuticals, food distribution and general cargo.
Batic anticipates that upgrading its fleet will help lower operating costs over the medium to long term, while supporting stronger profit margins. It also believes the move will enhance its competitive position within the Kingdom’s rapidly expanding logistics market.
The investment aligns with wider growth in Saudi Arabia’s logistics sector and supports the national Vision 2030 programme, which aims to position the country as a leading global logistics hub.
