Dubai Truck Market to be completed this year

Dubai: Work on the Dubai Truck Market is progressing smoothly, with the market expected to be completed this year, Dubai Municipality said.

Engineer Hussain Nasser Lootah, Director-General of Dubai Municipality, said that the market, which will specialise in businesses related to trucks and their spare parts, will contribute to stimulating the national economy and will save time and effort for both customers and dealers as the market will provide new services to the community and businesses in this field.

Lootah indicated that the market, located in Al Ruwayyah and spanning an area of 421,000 square metres, will include 148 showrooms and an advanced service facility that will cater to the needs of businesses, showrooms and customers.

Lootah added that the market has various advantages by providing traders with a single location that offers comprehensive services, such as vehicle testing, financing services, insurance and auctions. Lootah pointed out that these advantages make the market a competitive one at the local, regional and global level.

He said that the market will also regulate the trade of trucks and spare parts of second-hand heavy vehicles through the implementation of regulations in the complex, the supervision of the specialised authorities of showrooms, and facilitating the arrival of traders from abroad to encourage the export of trucks and heavy equipment.

Lootah said that the Dubai Truck Market will also help with improving the aesthetics of the city by curbing the sale of trucks and spare parts on the roadside.
