THE Bahrain-based Alwardi Group, dealers in heavy vehicles, plant and equipment, recently signed a deal with Orient Motors, a subsidiary of Zayani Motors, marking its investment in FAW trucks.
The deal was signed for a FAW J6 truck featuring a sleeper cab for two which will be used for hauling utility trailers.
"FAW is a well-recognised name in the Middle East especially in Saudi, Qatar and the UAE. We find that it is suitably engineered to suit our requirements especially when it comes to hauling trailers for long routes," said Turki Alwardi, managing director of Alwardi Group. "We intend to invest in more FAW units to add to our ever-expanding fleet in the coming months."
The FAW Group is a leading global manufacturer of cars, trucks and buses. Established in 1953, the company is China's oldest and largest automotive group. Annual sales exceed one million units.
"We are proud to represent FAW J6 trucks - a renowned name coming with unique features and offering cost-effective solutions to a range of transportation needs," said brand manager of Orient Motors, Mahasum Shah.
"The introduction of FAW by Orient Motors poses a great investment opportunity for many business sectors in Bahrain to grow and develop. FAW has the world's largest truck factory to its credit that produces a range of vehicles offering economic efficiency, a strong rugged build and reliability that will aid a number of purposes for economic and structural growth," added managing director Nawaf Al Zayani.
Orient Motors is the official distributor for a number of Far Eastern automakers including Brilliance Auto, ZX Auto, First Automotive Works Group Corporation (FAW), China and Luxgen Motors, Taiwan.
