EMIRATES MOTOR COMPANY (EMC) HAND OVER NEW FLEET OF MERCEDES-BENZ TRUCKS TO PASCO PAVING STONES COMPANY
Emirates Motor Company Commercial Vehicles (EMC CV), the authorised dealer for Mercedes-Benz Trucks in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain, facilitates deal which sees the delivery of Arocs and Actros vehicles
Dubai, UAE, 14 December: Emirates Motor Company (EMC), the authorised dealer for Mercedes-Benz Trucks in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain has announced an exciting new deal which will see the handover of 1 Arocs 4040K 6×4 and 3 New Actros 4048S 6x4S to PASCO Paving Stones Company.
Market leaders in the business of interlocking tiles and paving, with a reputation for reliability, inventiveness, and competence, as well as German heritage (Managing Partner Dr. lng. Armin J. Wuensch is himself German), PASCO’s partnership with EMC CV, and in turn, Mercedes-Benz Trucks, is a long-standing one built on shared values and aspirations.
When making the latest updates to their fleet of trucks, the GM at PASCO, Mr. Velu Murugun was adamant that increased safety and advanced technology be prioritized. Combining the service quality, economic efficiency, and expertise that Mercedes-Benz trucks are renowned for, along with cutting-edge technology and industry-leading equipment highlights and advantages, the powerful Arocs and Actros trucks with the latest innovations were obvious choices.
The Actros is known for its reliability and dependability for long-distance and distribution haulage, while the Arocs is well established as a reliable, robust titan in construction and off-road applications. Both vehicles are celebrated for not just providing drivers with optimum driving and working conditions, but also granting fleet managers unprecedented intelligent network management and logistics control with telematics solution from Fleetboard – a combination which results in better overall performance across the board.
In order that the company could experience these benefits first-hand, EMC CV provided PASCO with the new Actros demo vehicle fitted with their ground-breaking MirrorCam. Following an intensive 15 days trial, which involved thorough testing and observation of the vehicle’s performance and a deep-dive into Fleetboard analytics, PASCO made an initial purchase of three units of the new Actros and one Arocs through EMC CV.
On the deal, C R Emmanuel, Fleet Manager for PASCO commented: “We are delighted to acquire this batch of Mercedes-Benz trucks from Emirates Motor Company Commercial Vehicles (EMC CV), our preferred dealer for Mercedes-Benz trucks. These trucks offer the latest in safety and technology including the MirrorCam and Fleetboard and we have no doubt that they will meet our requirements effectively and efficiently.”
Beshoy Messiha, Sales Manager Trucks for EMC went on to add that: “PASCO is a pioneer in their field of interlock tiles and paving stones. It is our pleasure to be associated with them and supporting their transportation requirements. The Mercedes-Benz Actros supplied to PASCO is equipped with the latest technology including MirrorCam, Mercedes PowerShift 3 and Mercedes-Benz truck’s very own telematics system – Fleetboard. PASCO acquired these trucks only after thorough testing and analysis of the performance. We look forward to developing this relationship and continuing to be their preferred supplier. We wish PASCO a bright and prosperous future and assure them that they can count on us for all their fleet needs.
