Saudi Arabia Completes Its First Actros Pro Cap Assembly

Dubai (PlantAndEquipment.com) - Juffali Commercial Vehicles (JCV), Saudi Arabia’s official distributor of Mercedes-Benz trucks, has marked a major step forward for the Kingdom’s automotive sector with the successful local assembly of the first Mercedes Benz Actros Pro Cap. The truck was assembled at the National Automotive Industries (NAI) facility, underscoring Saudi Arabia’s growing capabilities in advanced manufacturing and high value industrial production.

The achievement reinforces JCV’s role in supporting Saudi Vision 2030 by strengthening local supply chains, expanding industrial expertise, and delivering globally recognized engineering standards within the Kingdom.

Customer Centric Advantages

Local assembly of the Actros Pro Cap delivers clear benefits for customers, including faster delivery timelines, improved availability of spare parts, and seamless aftersales support through Juffali’s nationwide sales and service network. The localized process also enables vehicle customization at the point of assembly, ensuring each truck is precisely configured for Saudi Arabia’s demanding operating environments, from long haul transport to heavy duty desert applications.

These tailored specifications contribute to enhanced productivity, optimized fuel efficiency, and long-term reliability for fleet operators across the Kingdom.

Powering Vision 2030

Beyond the vehicle itself, the assembly initiative plays a strategic role in national workforce development. By creating hands on training and employment opportunities for Saudi technicians and engineers, the project supports skills transfer and industrial capability building. Ongoing collaboration with Mercedes-Benz Trucks experts provides access to global know how while strengthening sustainable, homegrown expertise aligned with economic diversification goals.

Technology and Innovation

Built in line with Daimler Truck’s global standards, the Actros Pro Cap assembly line in Jeddah incorporates rigorous quality controls, automated processes, and advanced manufacturing technologies. Each vehicle is produced to meet exacting benchmarks for safety, performance, durability, and driver comfort.

This strong technical foundation positions Saudi Arabia to scale future innovations, including intelligent fleet solutions, digital vehicle services, and next generation powertrains.
