The trucks will join SECO’s fleet to carry out specific duties, such as providing electricity service in Saudi Arabia’s most remote places.
IVECO and Arabian Auto Agency (AAA), official dealer in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, have begun delivering 102 Eurocargo units model ML120E22 4×2 Rigid to Saudi Electricity Company (SECO) at the Zeemat assembly facility in Riyadh. Saudi Electricity Company has an important role in delivering electricity to the Kingdom while adhering to the highest dependability requirements.
All Eurocargo models ML120E22 were manufactured in the Brescia facility in Italy, and gensets were mounted in the Arabian Auto Agency Riyadh plant. The units will join the SECO fleet for the special mission to supply electric service in the most remote areas of Saudi Arabia.
“After several success stories scored in Saudi Arabia during the whole 2023 that mainly featured the IVECO S-Way, we are now really keen to share this important achievement with SECO on our medium range,” says Alberto Pellegrini, IVECO Area Manager for Saudi Arabia.
“At AAA, we are delighted to reinforce our strategic partnership with the Saudi Electricity Company, a distinguished leader in Saudi Arabia’s energy sector,” says Maan Gharaibeh, General Manager of Arabian Auto Agency. “The delivery of this initial fleet of Eurocargo vehicles is enhanced by a tailored aftersales solution package, ensuring uninterrupted uptime for their growing fleet.”
To further enable them to supply energy across the kingdom, these trucks will also be equipped with electrical generators.
“All these Eurocargo units are mounted with a 200KW Generator to reach and allow the smoothest power distribution in the most remote areas nationwide, another very specific application and a strong step ahead together with our local partner Arabian Auto Agency, towards more and more challenging results for 2024,” says Pellegrini.
“This marks the beginning of an exciting journey between AAA and the Saudi Electricity Company,” adds Gharaibeh.
Saudi Electricity Company is considered the primary source of electricity in the Kingdom by producing, transmitting, and distributing electricity through an extensive network covering all parts of the country. The company also provides services to all consumer segments, whether individuals, enterprises, or government sectors, contributing to Saudi Arabia’s development and renaissance.
The multi-mission truck
Eurocargo boasts a new design and functionalities while maintaining and improving the essentials that have made it the reliable, robust and versatile vehicle. With 7 gross vehicle weight variants, 4 power ratings, 7 gearboxes and 3 cab types, Eurocargo is available in over 11,000 variations, to meet your every need, however specific it is.
The bumper is designed to provide a step to easily access the windscreen for cleaning. The headlamp cluster is also available with LED Daytime Running Lights and Xenon headlights for added safety in night driving. Eurocargo logo and model number are clearly visible on the door.
Every detail has been developed to ensure excellent aerodynamics. The deflector, which has been reshaped to match the design of the front, guides the airflow clear off the door handles. The windscreen with integrated UV filter offers excellent protection without the negative aerodynamic impact of an exterior sun visor.
