Dubai, UAE, 28th November 2007: Transportation giant Iveco announced today at the Big 5 PMV that it will add a mini-bus to the company's extensive range of commercial vehicles.

The Iveco Daily mini-bus, which seats 17 to 23 passengers and is based on Europe's best selling van, will be available for the first time in Dubai and the Northern Emirates from one of the UAE's leading trading houses, Saeed Mohammed Al Ghandi & Sons (SMAG), the sole dealer for Iveco products. 

SMAG is representing Iveco at the Big 5 PMV, the new event for manufacturers and suppliers of plant, machinery and construction vehicles which concludes at Airport Expo Dubai tomorrow.

Graham Turner, General Manager of the Al Ghandi Automotive Group said: "We are excited to take part in the inaugural Big 5 PMV exhibition and look at it as an excellent opportunity to build on what has already been a record year for SMAG. We hope to further enhance Iveco's image as a versatile and reliable brand within the commercial vehicles segment."

"The addition of the mini-bus to Iveco's existing vehicle line-up is a natural step forward and allows us to offer our customers a one-stop shop for their transportation requirements," he continued.
