As the first step of the partnership, Anadolu Isuzu’s midibus models will be introduced to the Saudi Arabian market. The company plans to expand its offering in the future to include intercity transportation and public transit vehicles.
A ceremony marking the strategic collaboration was held in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia, and was attended by Anadolu Isuzu General Manager Tugrul Arikan and executives from New East General Trading.

Arikan noted that the addition of New East to their distributor network in Saudi Arabia marks an important milestone in Anadolu Isuzu’s global expansion. He described the partnership as a reflection of the company’s commitment to offering high-quality solutions to a broader international customer base.
