history

The first concrete plans for this project can be traced back to 2007, but a corresponding declaration of intent and the establishment of the company were delayed until 2011 due to the global financial crisis . At the end of 2012, the plant was opened in the presence of the Saudi Arabian Minister of Economics. It is the first complete Japanese truck production facility in the Gulf region.

The company has more than 100 employees. The theoretical capacity is 3000 units. Despite a planned capacity expansion to 25,000 copies at the time of opening, around 2000 and 1700 vehicles, respectively, were produced in 2016 and 2017.

The F series is produced by Isuzu.
