Ford Trucks showcases 2017 line-up at Dubai expo

DUBAI, November 21, 2016

Ford Trucks, along with the official importer-dealer in the UAE, Al Tayer Motors, is showcasing its 2017 line-up of the powerful Construction Series including the 4143M and 3543M mixers alongside the 1843T tractor, at The Big 5 exhibition which has opened in Dubai, UAE.

Powered by the new Ford Ecotorq engine family, the 2017 Construction Series now comes with greater power and more efficiency than ever to ensure customers can continue with their daunting tasks.

Having an ambitious growth strategy and team, the firm has also announced plans for establishing a new office in Riyadh to further strengthen its presence in the region. Currently, the headquarters of Ford Trucks for the Middle East region is based in Dubai.

With over 55 years of manufacturing expertise, Ford Trucks said its products are tailored to meet the specific requirements of the Middle East market.

Offering comfort and exceptional uphill traction on rugged terrain, the 2017 Construction Series now delivers a 430 PS and 2.150 Nm of torque with the new Ecotorq engine, a significant improvement over the previous generation which delivered 350 PS and 1.400 Nm of torque.

The new 400 KW engine brake provides the driver with firm control while climbing steep slopes in earth-moving and cutting sites. The optional 600 KW Intarder option offered for even tougher conditions brings the total braking capacity to 1 KW, ensuring that the heaviest loads can be safely carried on even the steepest slopes and hills, it stated.

Designed for the most demanding construction site environments, with best-in-class sequence and efficiency, a new feature in the Construction Series is the automated transmission option.

With off-road, rocking and economy modes, the automated transmission option assists drivers in keeping their vehicle sure-footed on virtually any terrain.  

"Offering a balanced blend of features, Ford Trucks Construction Series lands on construction sites with a single purpose; to make your project more durable and efficient," remarked Emrah Duman, the international markets director of Ford Trucks.

“As a first step to expand our network with a focus on retaining facility investments, we are thrilled about our upcoming office in Riyadh which will help us in further improving our service, and reduce response time to our customers,” added Duman.-TradeArabia News Service
