IVECO and Saeed Mohammed Al Ghandi & Sons (SMAG) presented the new premises in Dubai industrial City with a fully air-conditioned workshop, a parts sales and warehouse facility and an IVECO Certified Pre-Owned sales centre. SMAG will continue with its other operation in Ras Al Khor and will further develop the other location into a Daily van Centre specialized on the iconic IVECO light vehicle range while continuing its development in Dubai Industrial City with the full IVECO offering.
During the event IVECO and its local dealer SMAG presented the IVECO full range to the UAE market. For the heavy range was displayed the IVECO T-Way 6×4 Rigid with construction series heavy duty chassis and the IVECO S-Way 4×2 tractor head; in the medium range the Eurocargo was represented by the 4×2 on road and the 4×4 off-road versions; for the light range was displayed the Daily Hi- Matic 5.2 tonnes GVW.
The event took place in the new premises area and hosted more than 80 guests, including esteemed guests, members of the Ministry of Transport, representatives of local authorities, local body manufacturers, press representatives, fleet and retail customers. As the official IVECO dealer for Dubai and the Northern Emirates, SMAG can provide the UAE market with a strong legacy brand that offers valuable business partners capable of successfully completing a big variety of missions.
Ewan Byrne, General Manager of Saeed Mohammed Al Ghandi & Sons said: “Thank you and welcome to the next step in IVECO & SMAG’s partnership in the region. We are one of the first major truck distributors to strategically position ourselves within the logistics hub of Dubai Industrial City. We have a lot of synergies with other parts of our Automotive group including Oman Transport and with excellent road links to all major routes, relatively close to Jebel Ali Port and with the development of the new airport, it made perfect sense to increase the capability of SMAG & IVECO within the region. Our workshops and Parts departments have been developed to ensure we have created a capability to offer a full 24/7 365 days a year total fleet support operation.
With downtime and vehicle availability being top priority for many operators, having servicing and maintenance work completed out of hours was an essential offering in our new location. Investing is in people is essential, the training and support offered within IVECO is excellent and ensures we create the capability to take on any mission, problem or challenge thrown our way. We pride ourselves on the parts availability rates and when we don’t have it, we source it quickly through the IVECO parts global network. We are always looking to improve our service levels and offer quality affordability.
With the IVECO full range, we believe we offer the highest quality of commercial vehicle and know that locally we can ensure the support required to back up all our products is at your fingertips.”
Silvia Quaglia, IVECO AME Network Development, added: “The opening of these new premises represents an important step forward for SMAG and IVECO in the market. We are very focused on customer satisfaction, and we are very keen to assure to our customers the better after sales coverage. The new workshop, opened 24/7, guarantees to our customers the possibility to maintain and repair our vehicles at any time of the day”.
