Al Yousuf Motors Signs Two Fleet Deals Valued at Dhs 1.4 Million

Daihatsu Sirion hatchbacks will enable National Car Rental and Europcar to offer better-equipped cars at lower prices
Dubai, UAE - Al Yousuf Motors, a division of leading diversified holding group Al Yousuf LLC, announced today fleet deals valued at Dhs1.4 million with two international auto leasing franchises in Abu Dhabi. The agreements, involving a total of 40 Daihatsu Sirion 1.3-litre hatchbacks, will allow the rental agencies to offer customers better equipped cars at a lower price.

The redesigned 2005 Sirion offers many features that other similar-sized vehicles don't, including dual front airbags, central locking, power windows, a built-in CD player and split-folding rear seats. The roomy interior provides wide head clearance and plenty of legroom, even for passengers in the back seat, while the car offers 630 litres of luggage space with two people aboard.

The agreements involve the delivery of 30 Sirion hatchbacks to National Car Rental and 10 Sirion hatchbacks to Europcar.

"With a broad range of brands and a deep understanding of the UAE marketplace, Al Yousuf Motors is able to offer innovative, value-added vehicle solutions to a wide variety of fleet operations. Our solutions help clients differentiate their services in the marketplace, thereby furthering their business objectives," said Suhail Zain Eldeen, Chief Operations Officer, Al Yousuf Group.

The National and Europcar agreements are just the latest fleet deals for Al Yousuf Motors. Just two months ago, Al Yousuf signed a Dhs 11.5 million deal with Dubai Transport Co. for 100 Chevrolet Uplander 7-passenger family vans and 10 Daewoo 50-seat buses.

"Leading brands with vehicle fleet requirements choose Al Yousuf Motors because of our long record of service and specialized care in meeting their particular needs," Zain Eldeen added.

Al Yousuf is the distributor for Chevrolet, Daihatsu, Daewoo, Suzuki and Yamaha vehicles and also operates Advantage Taxi service in Sharjah and Advantage Rent-a-Car and Advantage Used Cars all over the UAE.
