AL MASAOOD COMMERCIAL VEHICLES AND EQUIPMENT

At World Future Energy Summit 2023

Around mid-January, Al Masaood Commercial Vehicles and Equipment (CV&E) participated in EcoWaste Exhibition and Forum 2023 to showcase their latest environmentally friendly trucks from global brands – UD Trucks and Renault Trucks that offer sustainable waste management solutions. The division, which is part of Al Masaood Group, is the sole distributor of UD Trucks and Renault Trucks in Abu Dhabi.

Al Masaood (CV&E) participated in EcoWASTE, which was held during the World Future Energy Summit (WFES) between January 16 and 18, 2023, at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC). The Exhibition is a the forefront of zero waste in the MENA region and is dedicated to advancing new business opportunities and practices for sustainable waste management.

“As a key player in the waste management sector, our participation in the event demonstrates our dedication to providing sustainable and environmentally friendly options that fulfil the needs and requirements of our customers,” says Mohamed El Zeftawi, General Manager at Al Masaood (CV&E). “We have partnered with leading companies worldwide to bring global products and solutions to the country, ensuring that the waste management sector has access to the best and most recent technologies.”

During their participation in the event, they showcased some of their innovative products, including environmentally friendly trucks from global brands UD Trucks and Renault Trucks that offer sustainable waste management solutions. Al Masaood CV&E, following their vision, has collaborated with world-class brands to deliver products and solutions to the UAE, guaranteeing that the waste management industry has access to the best and most innovative technology. “The participation of UD Trucks and Renault Trucks in the event is in line with our commitment to minimising the pressure on the environment by providing such solutions,” adds Mohamed.

Moreover, according to Mohamed, The UAE’s market is ever evolving with more demand for greener solutions. Thus, such extensive events form a perfect platform for exploring how waste management can be made more sustainable by embracing circular principles, exploring zero landfill options, and forging alliances for a smooth transition towards a green economy. And as part of our commitment to providing sustainable and environmentally friendly options to the UAE waste management market, Al Masaood CV&E forged two partnerships during the event.

“We signed two major Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with TADWEER - Abu Dhabi Municipality’s Waste Management Centre, and Lavajet, the provider of environmental waste management services,” says Mohamed. Seeking these partnerships to go a long way in fostering the waste management sector in Abu Dhabi.

At the same time, Al Masaood CV&E is committed to promoting sustainability as a core pillar and incorporating it in all its value offerings and services by offering sustainable solutions and products in the waste management sector. “We have always aligned our objectives and strategies with the vision of the nation’s wise leadership to build a diverse and sustainable economy powered by knowledge and innovation. For instance, Al Masaood Commercial Vehicles and Equipment (CV&E) will provide environmental-friendly alternatives to TADWEER, the Abu Dhabi Waste Management Centre.”

Additionally, Renault Trucks K480, which is EURO 5 Enhanced Environmentally friendly Vehicle (EEV), will soon operate in the national capital. “We are also expanding our offerings by introducing electric trucks to help reduce carbon emissions and fast-track the UAE Net Zero 2050 strategic initiative’s goals, “Mohamed.

However, with sustainability making its way in almost all industries with significant players altering their offerings, Al Masaood (CV&E) has cemented its position in the capital – as they are the sole distributors in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain for global brands like UD Trucks and Renault Trucks that offer sustainable waste management solutions. Likewise, the division provides environmentally friendly vehicles to cater to the waste management industry’s needs and flexible financial and aftersales solutions, ensuring the optimal running of the vehicles with minimum downtime.

Keeping in view the significance of providing the latest technologies and innovations to the rapidly expanding sector of the UAE. “And as I already highlighted, we are further expanding our offerings by introducing electric trucks that will go a long way in reducing carbon emissions. The division has expanded with opening its second flagship multi-brand facility in Abu Dhabi - M40 facility, which will help the business grow its capacity in both sales and aftersales.”

In addition, they also offer excellent after-sales services on a larger scale. The new workshop also has a sizable parts warehouse, significantly reducing turnaround time and elevating the overall customer experience. While UD Trucks is emerging as one of the top service providers in the UAE’s waste management industry, it has also made its fair share of efforts to further sustainability goals by ensuring responsible procurement of raw materials, components, and equipment. The manufacturer has established a supplier code of conduct that helps them track and minimise environmental risks.

Meanwhile, Renault Trucks has been investing significantly in R&D to develop more sustainable solutions for the waste management sector – along with them working to lower greenhouse gas emissions by creating carbon-neutral transportation solutions and minimising the environmental impact of its activities.

With COP28 making its way along the country later this year, their division has taken sustainability as a core component of its business agenda to support the UAE Net Zero 2050 strategic initiative and UAE Sustainability Targets. “For this, we have collaborated with world-class businesses to bring innovative products and solutions to the UAE to help reduce carbon emissions. This is in line with His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the President of the UAE, declaring 2023 as the ‘Year of Sustainability’ in the runup to United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 28), which will be hosted in UAE later this year,” concludes Mohamed.
