Al-Futtaim HINO, an Al-Futtaim automotive company that franchises light, medium and heavy-duty HINO trucks in the UAE, has completed the delivery of 32 HINO trucks to Bee’ah. The new deal further strengthens the Al-Futtaim company’s position in the waste management sector in the UAE following a deal last year with West Coast Saubermacher to supply 220 light, medium and heavy-duty HINO trucks.

Bee’ah will deploy the HINO light-duty model HINO 300 Series 714NWB, 916XLWB and medium-duty HINO 500 series FD1024, FG1625, GH1927 trucks across its operations in Sharjah and Ajman. This brings the total number of HINO trucks operating in Bee’ah’s fleet to 133, as per the statement.

Ramez Hamdan, Managing Director - Industrial Equipment (FAMCO, HINO, Toyota Material Handling), Al-Futtaim Automotive, said, “HINO trucks product adaptability, specification and durability gives us a clear dominance in the Waste Management sector. This is primarily due to the continued trust customers place in our products and our unique aftersales service – ‘HINO Total Support.’ We are extremely pleased to have won this order from Bee’ah as we look to grow and gain more market share in this segment.”

In addition to providing service and parts, the Al-Futtaim group company is also supporting Bee’ah with its ‘HINO Total Support’ concept where experts from Al-Futtaim’s Commercial Vehicle Division provide eco-driving training to truck drivers to help them optimise total cost of truck ownership. This training helps fleet operators improve fuel efficiency, minimise the cost of wear and tear, reduce service and maintenance costs as well as insurance premiums and decrease the risk of major road accidents. 

HINO has partnered with Al Shirawi Equipment and Precision Machinery for the customisation of the body fabrication of the trucks to suit the specialized waste collection needs of Bee’ah.
