Western Auto excels as Ashok Leyland’s Saudi distributor

Western Auto, the name well established for quality transport solution in the Kingdom and a member of ETA Star conglomerate with its headquarters in Dubai, has excelled as the exclusive distributor of the-state-of-the-art Ashok Leyland range of commercial vehicles in the Kingdom.
The flagship brand of the Hinduja Group, Ashok Leyland still remains the only Indian maker of doubledecker and vestibule buses. Its 1,000+ strong product development team seeks to harness and adopt technologies that provide value for the customers. In fact, Ashok Leyland is one of the largest manufacturers of buses and coaches in the world.
Western Auto has set up full-fledged workshops across the Kingdom to assist and service any requirement of the fleets, supported by efficient and well trained technicians.
This has helped Ashok Leyland buses and trucks to conquer the quality conscious Saudi market.
Ashok Leyland has been moving people and goods for over six decades.
One of the largest commercial vehicle manufacturers in India carries over 70 million passengers every day; close to 700,000 vehicles bearing the Ashok Leyland Badge.
Ashok Leyland has seven manufacturing units spread pan-India and installed capacity for 150,000 vehicles per annum.
The company has overseas manufacturing facilities at Ras Al-Khaimah (UAE) and Prague (Czech Republic).
