Ashok Leyland, a leading Indian manufacturer of commercial vehicles, has a distinguished presence in the GCC market spanning over four decades. With a substantial fleet exceeding 50,000 vehicles, the company has significantly contributed to the region’s infrastructure development. Recognised as “nation builders,” Ashok Leyland’s buses and trucks have been instrumental in the construction of the GCC’s burgeoning cities and vital oil and gas infrastructure. Moreover, the company’s vehicles have played a pivotal role in numerous landmark projects across the region, solidifying its reputation as a key contributor to the Gulf’s progress.
Globally, Ashok Leyland is acknowledged as a leading commercial vehicle manufacturer, with its vehicles powering economies worldwide. Daily, over 80 million passengers rely on Ashok Leyland buses for transportation, while approximately 800,000 Ashok Leyland vehicles traverse the globe, facilitating the movement of goods and people.
In the UAE, Ashok Leyland’s enduring partnership with Swaidan Trading, established in 1984, has been instrumental to its success. This partnership has fostered a robust support network, ensuring the optimal maintenance and service of Ashok Leyland vehicles. Several Ashok Leyland bus models are manufactured locally at a state-of-the-art facility in Ras Al Khaimah, demonstrating the company’s commitment to local production and regional integration.
Ashok Leyland offers a comprehensive range of commercial vehicles, including trucks, buses and light commercial vehicles, designed to meet diverse business requirements.
Engineered for Efficiency and Reliability
The success of Ashok Leyland vehicles in the UAE can be attributed to several key factors. The Ashok Leyland Partner truck, for example, is equipped with the ZD30 Turbo intercooled common rail diesel engine, a powerful yet fuel-efficient engine that delivers a smooth and efficient driving experience.
Ashok Leyland’s commitment to customer satisfaction extends beyond vehicle sales. The company provides exceptional after-sales support, ensuring the optimal performance of its vehicles throughout their lifecycle. This support is facilitated by an extensive distribution network across the Emirates, ensuring readily available and competitively priced spare parts. Ashok Leyland’s service centres are staffed by highly skilled technicians capable of addressing any maintenance or repair needs. Moreover, the company offers competitive service rates and extended service intervals, thereby minimising the overall cost of vehicle ownership.
Furthermore, Ashok Leyland offers customised Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) packages, enabling businesses to select the service level that best aligns with their specific needs. For businesses requiring rapid service, express service options are available to minimise downtime and ensure vehicles are back on the road promptly. The combination of affordable service, readily accessible spare parts and a highly skilled service team makes Ashok Leyland vehicles, such as the Partner Truck, an ideal choice for businesses seeking reliable, cost-effective transportation solutions backed by world-class after-sales service.
