The Mercedes-Benz Actros has been a favorite of the Saudi market, due to their durability and reliability – necessary qualities to match the demanding conditions of region.
Three potent 6-cylinder in-line engines that meet the Euro V emission standard are available for the Actros: the 10.7 liter OM 470, the 12.8 liter OM 471, and the 15.6 liter OM 473. These engines are built for minimal fuel consumption, maximum lifetime, and excellent performance.
The assembly of the 4X2 Actros trucks took place in a facility operated by National Automobile Industries (NAI) in Jeddah, a joint venture between Juffali Commercial Vehicles and Daimler Truck AG.
The NAI facility has received the ISO-9001/2000 international quality certificates and is still expanding and developing to become one of the top Mercedes-Benz plants outside of Germany.
Juffali Commercial Vehicles and Daimler AG have a successful history that dates to 1974, when a joint venture between Mercedes-Benz Commercial Vehicles and E.A. Juffali & Brothers established the NAI in Jeddah to assemble Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles locally in Saudi Arabia.
Juffali Commercial Vehicles is the sole agent and distributor for Mercedes-Benz trucks and buses in Saudi Arabia. The company recently became a distributor for FUSO vehicles and buses.
