Tasjeel and SAM launch first site offering testing services for light and heavy vehicles in Sharjah
The facility will have five testing lanes for light vehicles, and five testing lanes for heavy vehicles, along with a range of other facilities and services
ENOC’s Tasjeel in collaboration with Sharjah Asset Management has broken ground on its first site offering testing services for both light and heavy vehicles.
Located in the Al Sajaa area of Sharjah, the new site brings the total number of testing centres in the emirate to 13, a statement said. Spanning a total area of 32,777sqm, the new Tasjeel site will have five testing lanes for light vehicles, and five testing lanes for heavy vehicles. It will also contain a workshop, as well as a food court, including a drive-thru restaurant.
In addition to offering seamless testing and registration processes for both categories of vehicles, the site will offer a comprehensive range of automotive facilities, including vehicle and driver licensing services, the statement continued.
The ground-breaking was attended by His Excellency Sheikh Mohammed bin Saud Al Qasimi, Chairman of Sharjah Asset Management, Sheikh Saud bin Mohammed bin Saud Al Qasimi, CEO of the Real Estate Sector in Sharjah Assets Management, His Excellency Saif Humaid Al Falasi, Group Chief Executive Officer of ENOC, as well as Major General Saif Al Zari Al Shamsi, Commander-in-Chief of Sharjah Police, along with a number of officers and managers.
In early December 2022, the RTA awarded contracts for three all-inclusive truck rest stops in Dubai.
His Excellency Saif Humaid Al Falasi, Group CEO, ENOC stated, “As the first and largest testing and registration centre in the UAE, we are committed to delivering the highest standards of customer service whilst prioritising safety on the roads. This will be the first site to offer testing services for both light vehicles and heavy vehicles, where our knowledgeable technicians will use the very latest technologies to streamline the vehicle testing and registration renewal process.”
Tasjeel sites provide a wide range of services including number plates, international driving licenses, chassis checking measurement for light vehicles, battery tests, on board diagnostic test, VIP services, and more.
Currently, Tasjeel owns and operates 30 sites in Dubai, Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, Khorfakkan, Al Dhaid, Hatta and Kalba – all of which use state-of-the-art equipment – as well as three mobile units. All Tasjeel centres are equipped with the latest testing and inspection machinery and qualified staff. As of 2022, Tasjeel has tested over 1.4m vehicles per year across its testing bays in the country, the company stated.
ENOC partnered with Dubai Police to set up Tasjeel in 1999 to offer fast and convenient vehicle testing services in the Emirate. In 2006, Tasjeel commenced vehicle testing and registration services for Sharjah Police, becoming the official testing and registration provider in the emirate, it explained.
In late January 2023, Beeah Recycling inked a deal to develop the UAE’s first EV battery recycling plant and, in the same month, the Truck & Fleet Middle East editorial team unveiled the shortlist for the 2023 Truck and Fleet Awards.
Waleed Al Sayegh, CEO of Sharjah Asset Management Company commented, “This joint cooperation stems from our vision at Sharjah Asset Management to enhance the economic and social development of the emirate of Sharjah in partnership with the public and private sectors, and to provide comprehensive facilities and service infrastructure projects that contribute to the diversification and strengthening of the Sharjah Asset Management portfolio.”
He concluded, “The cooperation helps anticipate challenges through an advanced and smart system, keeping pace with the proactive approach of the emirate of Sharjah and the UAE to enhance capabilities in a multitude of fields, and to serve the residents and visitors of the Emirate of Sharjah.”
