Company strengthening partnerships in the Middle East
Allison Transmission has expanded its presence in Saudi Arabia and Qatar with key partnerships, underscoring the company’s dedication to providing cleaner and more sustainable transportation systems across the Middle East.
Recent successes for Allison in Qatar and Saudi Arabia include a major fleet deal in the kingdom, reflecting the company’s growing network of strategic partners and the increasing demand for its cutting-edge technology.
The company’s collaboration with leading bus manufacturers contributed to the delivery of some 450 buses in 2020 alone, the largest single sale in the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region.
This achievement was made possible through partnerships with Chinese bus OEMs.
Allison Transmission is also celebrating a successful collaboration with TAM, a new Chinese brand of city buses making their debut in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Around 20 TAM city buses equipped with Allison transmissions arrived in Jeddah last month, demonstrating the partnership’s commitment to delivering reliable and efficient transportation solutions.
In Qatar, Allison has partnered with Yutong & Higer, a renowned Chinese bus manufacturer, to help supply over 250 school buses. These buses, equipped with the Allison 3000 Series™, embody the company’s top-tier technology and its commitment to delivering high-performance and reliable solutions.
“These achievements in Saudi Arabia and Qatar highlight the importance of the region to our company and demonstrate our commitment to supporting its transportation needs,” said Muhammad Ibrahim Khan, Area Manager for Middle East & Pakistan.
