Scania in new deal in the Gulf: 

120 city buses to Dubai


Scania’s distributor in Dubai in the United Arab 
Emirates, Al Shirawi Enterprises (L.L.C.), has sold a 
further 120 city buses to Dubai Municipality. The new 
order follows last summer’s delivery of 119 buses.

Owing to Scania’s global production system, it is 
possible to manufacture bus chassis fitted with 
Brazilian Marcopolo bodies, thus exploiting available 
capacity in Scania’s factory in Sao Paolo during the 
second half of year 2002. 

Including a previous sale of 30 buses, Dubai 
Municipality has ordered a total of 269 Scania buses 
for its growing urban public-transport operations.

"The new order reinforces our leading position as a 
supplier of city buses in this region," says Anders 
Liss, Area Sales Manager at Scania and the person 
responsible for Scania’s operations in the Gulf area.

"The competition is very tough, and we owe this deal 
to the fact that the customer is satisfied with our 
previous deliveries and with our service," continues 
Anders Liss.

The buses are built on Scania’s two-axle L94 chassis, 
and are powered by Swedish-made engines. After the 
bodies are fitted, the finished buses are transported 
from Brazil directly to Dubai.
