Speaking at the launch, Olivier De Saint Meleuc, Senior Vice President of Renault Trucks International, said:
I am personally proud to witness this milestone for Renault Trucks in Pakistan with our partner GNL. Pakistan is an important market for Renault Trucks.
Pakistan is rapidly developing with many large infrastructure projects especially under the China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC); that require robust & reliable trucks to cater demanding operations. Renault Trucks offer fuel efficiency, engine performance and safety along with lower maintenance and operational costs, ultimately providing profitability to the customers.
With our new range launched in 2013, we have deployed significant resources to ensure these vehicles deliver maximum reliability. Each range has undergone rigorous quality trials and has been exhaustively field-tested under actual operating conditions to meet the demands for reliability and robustness expected by our customers in Pakistan.
At this occasion, Mr. Ahmed Kuli Khan Khattak, Chief Executive Officer of GNL thanked the management of Renault Trucks and esteemed guests, and commented:
Whenever GNL has introduced any commercial vehicle to Pakistan, it is being well accepted in the market. By the blessings of Almighty Allah, GNL is taking yet another lead by bringing European Trucks. Subsequent CKD Operation of Renault Trucks from end 2019 will create new job opportunities and offer the highest standard transport solution for the benefit of customers.
Speaking at the event, Mr. Muazzam Pervaiz Khan, Sr. Executive Director Marketing & Sales of GNL said that there is a huge opportunity in the market for robust, fuel efficient & reliable trucks, and introducing Renault Trucks was the need of time. The demanding specs in terms of safety by all the major oil marketing companies can be 100% complied by these Renault Trucks.
