Commenting on the tender appointment, Erhan Eren, Head of Truck Sales at MAN Trucks & Buses Middle East said:
“Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) now manages approximately 4,000 tonnes of solid waste a day, a 48 per cent increase on the amounts seen in 2011. This has placed unprecedented strain on the solid waste infrastructure, which the investment is directly addressing.”
GAM has been operating MAN trucks for almost a decade now. Over the years, the number of MAN trucks operating under GAM has significantly increased to almost 67% commercial vehicles in the maintenance and care operations in Amman.
MAN Truck & Bus was established through their exclusive partner Integrated Automotive (IA) in 2008 in Jordan
In 2019, MAN will celebrate over 100 years truck competence in the municipal sector of waste disposal.
