July 28, Abu Dhabi — A landmark handover ceremony unfolded at Abu Dhabi’s iconic F1 circuit. The first batch of 110 SANY heavy‑duty trucks was officially handed over to a top‑tier UAE port operator. This marks the port’s first-ever bulk purchase of heavy‑duty trucks from a Chinese brand since its establishment. It signals the formal integration of Chinese heavy‑duty trucks into the UAE’s core national logistics system and sets a new benchmark for port‑based operations across the Middle East.

The fleet includes both SANY battery‑electric and diesel‑powered heavy‑duty trucks, marking the port’s first‑ever deployment of battery‑electric heavy trucks for commercial operations. Bringing field‑validated zero‑carbon mobility solutions built for the Middle East’s extreme‑heat and heavy‑duty operating environment, SANY supports the UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 strategic initiative and dvances the low‑carbon transition of the Middle East’s logistics ecosystem.

Notably, SANY heavy‑duty trucks recently completed extreme‑performance validation on China’s F2 circuit. Having sailed overseas to make its international mark at Abu Dhabi’s F1 circuit, the fleet has transitioned from performance testing on China’s F2 circuit to this landmark handover at a world‑class overseas circuit. In doing so, SANY has charted a remarkable success story for Chinese commercial vehicles across two iconic global circuits.

Beyond the ceremonial milestone, senior management representatives from the port authority, alongside leaders of SANY Group’s Mobility & Energy Business Unit and heads of its UAE subsidiary, were in attendance. Held on‑site at the F1 circuit, test‑drive sessions, diesel‑vs‑electric comparison runs, and presentations covering SANY’s integrated mobility‑energy solutions demonstrated SANY’s robust technical capabilities and product strengths in battery‑electric heavy‑duty trucks for the port‑authority delegation. The two parties engaged in in‑depth discussions regarding the suitability and operational benefits of battery‑electric heavy‑duty trucks for port‑logistics scenarios.

From the initial‑batch delivery to a strategic scale‑up, and from China’s world‑class circuits to the global stage, SANY not only achieved a major breakthrough in the Middle Eastern market, but also set a fresh precedent for green transportation and new‑energy collaboration between China and the UAE.
