UAE Builds Buses For Export
May 2008 | Contract NewsHafilat Industries of the UAE has won a AED30mn (US$8.17mn) contract to supply locally-assembled buses for export. A new purpose-built plant in the Industrial City of Abu Dhabi has been inaugurated for the assembly of the buses under licence from Australia's Volgren. The buses will be built on the chassis of Euro IV compliant Mercedes-Benz models, imported from Spain, but will take the form of Volgren's 'New Generation City Bus', which is made from aluminium to be lighter and stronger. Production of the buses will begin in May, while the order should take four months to fill.
