Doha: Doha Marketing Services Company (Domasco) has delivered seven Volvo FM 400 4X2 tractor heads to GAC Qatar, one of the country’s leading providers of integrated shipping and logistics services.

Volvo is pushing the limits on what premium trucks can offer, setting a new benchmark for transportation. The New FM 400 4X2 tractor heads’ efficient engines and I-Shift make for excellent fuel economy, and several smart features such as Tandem Axle Lift, I-Shift and Fuel Advice allow owners to cut fuel costs even further.

“Volvo Trucks is witnessing solid growth while retaining a leading position in the Qatari market. We are committed to build long-lasting relationships with our customers. Safeguarding the investment of our clients with superior equipment and after sales support is our prime goal,” said Ramez Hamdan, Sr. Managing Director of Al Futtaim Industrial Equipment.

GAC Qatar has been operating in the country since 1979. It is part of the GAC Group which has experienced the exceptional quality of Volvo trucks in the country and across the Middle East.

Henrik Althén, GAC Qatar’s General Manager said: “We continue to invest in our infrastructure, assets, and relationship with reliable service partners to ensure seamless service for our customers. Expanding our fleet with new trucks allows us to deliver top-notch service standards while further strengthening our relationship with Domasco”.

The new investment aligns with the wider GAC Group’s sustainability strategy, as the fuel-efficient trucks will help GAC Qatar reduce its carbon footprint and continue contributing and aligning with Qatar National Vision 2030 in environmental management. The GAC Group has embarked on its Roadmap to Sustainability by committing to UN Sustainable Development Goals and adapting, innovating and reducing whilst engaging with local stakeholders to create long-term value toward a sustainable future.
