Greater Amman Municipality upgrades its solid waste operations by acquiring 101 MAN trucks
MAN Truck & Bus Jordan has supplied 101 MAN trucks to make the Jordan capital city of Amman cleaner and greener for residents and visitors. The delivery of the new vehicles at King Hussain Gardens was attended by Amman Mayor Youssef Shawarbeh.
“GAM now manages approximately 4,000 tonnes of solid waste a day, a 48% increase on the amounts seen in 2011. This has placed unprecedented strain on the solid waste infrastructure, which the investment is directly addressing,” noted Erhan Eren, Head of Truck Sales at MAN Trucks & Buses Middle East.
Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) has been operating MAN trucks for almost a decade now.
Over the years, the number of MAN trucks operating under GAM has significantly increased to almost 67% commercial vehicles in the maintenance and care operations in Amman.
“We are very pleased that Jordan’s capital as GAM is banking on our trucks and trust in our service solutions,” commented Ahed Sukhon, General Manager, Integrated Automotive, MAN’s authorized dealer in the Kingdom.
In 2019, MAN will celebrate over 100 years truck competence in the municipal sector of waste disposal.
