MAN has sold over 50,000 trucks since 2006
German bus and truck manufacturer MAN has taken $1.28 billion in revenue from the Middle East region over the past two years.
The company first opened its Middle East and Africa headquarters in Dubai in 2006 and over that time has sold 56,787 vehicles, including 50,756 trucks.
CEO Sales Region Middle East and Africa Markus Geyer said that 2011 was particularly strong for the company as sales saw a 27% increase as revenues increased from $732 million in 2010 to $865 million in 2011.
“For the last six years we have been providing our transportation solutions which combine efficiency, safety, comfort and environmental friendliness to our customers – private sector organizations and especially the public sector,” said Geyer. “In the aftermath of the economic slowdown during 2009-2011, our sales have steadily picked up growing by over 18% year-on-year in 2010 and nearly 27% in 2011.”
MAN Truck & Bus Middle East operates through an extensive network of 35 private capital dealers and importers in 14 countries, and the company is a major provider for public transportation solutions in the UAE, with more than 800 buses operating in Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
