Nasser Bin Abdullatif Alserkal Est. has broken ground on a new AED 10mn ($2.7mn) Bridgestone Truck Tyre Centre in Dubai.
The sole importer and distributor of Bridgestone tyres for Dubai and the Northern Emirates is building the facility in partnership with Dubai Municipality.
Ground-breaking was overseen by officials from both Nasser Bin Abdullatif Alserkal Est., Dubai Municipality and Bridgestone Middle East & Africa.
Spanning 52,000 square feet, the centre will be built within the truck and heavy equipment market in the Al Ruwwaya area of Dubai. It will cater to rising demand for truck services in the UAE upon completion towards the end of the first quarter of 2018.
The centre will house a truck wash, repair facility and a registration & insurance counter–providing a complete solution to private, fleet and transport companies. It will also offer preventive maintenance services (PM) for trucks and trailers, which include oil, lube and filter service; DOT annual inspections; electrical repairs for lights, charging and starting; brake adjustments, repair and replacements; wheel-end work; and minor body repair services.
Alserkal Bridgestone Truck Tyre Center is being positioned as the first one stop show for truck owners and transport companies, with a total of 148 rentals from the Dubai Municipality as well as the owners of trucks and transport companies outside the market, which will help meet the growing expectations of transporters on quality products and services, said Tariq Al Rasheed, Director Retail & Marketing, Nasser Bin Abdul Latif Alserkal Est.
