United Arab Emirates: The sustainable transportation landscape in Saudi Arabia is on the verge of transformation as the highly anticipated eActros 300 L 4x2, the first battery-electric truck from Mercedes-Benz Trucks, makes its debut in the Kingdom. Juffali Commercial Vehicles, the authorized General Distributor for Mercedes-Benz Trucks, is proud to unveil this revolutionary heavy-duty electric truck, marking a significant milestone in the pursuit of emission-free road transport of goods.

This reinforces our commitment to sustainability in transportation and the environment. The electric truck symbolizes our dedication to responsible choices and a sustainable future, aligning with our core values."
