This broadened offering is set to provide small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and existing clientele with a wider array of vehicles. The versatility and efficiency of these trucks, particularly the electric models, reflect a significant step towards sustainable transportation solutions, aligning with the UAE’s vision for a greener future.

It marks a fusion of our extensive history and expertise in the industrial sector with Dongfeng’s innovative approach to heavy and light duty trucks.
