We arrange everything from A to Z, so you receive a truck that is ready for work.
More Than a Supplier: Your Sparring Partner from A to Z
Buying a truck for Syria involves more than choosing a brand. Summers inland are hot and dusty, with temperatures above 40°C in the east. The coast is humid, and mountain roads bring steep climbs and snow in winter. Many roads and building sites still place heavy demands on suspension and tyres. Syria also has specific rules for the age of imported trucks. The axle configuration, engine, cooling, filtration, body and paperwork all make the difference. That is why we start by understanding your operation: what you transport, which routes you drive and how intensively your vehicles are used. Based on that, we advise you on the configuration that gives you the best value over the long term.
Once you have made your choice, we take care of the rest. That includes custom bodybuilding, technical modifications, export documentation, export compliance checks and transport to Syria. You have one point of contact for the entire process, so you can focus on your business while we handle the details. Our stock of European A-brand trucks changes continuously, which means we can often offer short lead times.
Which Trucks Does Syria Need? Solutions per Sector
Syria faces one of the largest reconstruction challenges in the region. Construction, logistics, agriculture, energy, water supply and municipal services all create strong demand for commercial vehicles. Below you'll find the truck types our customers in Syria ask for most often.
Reconstruction and Construction: Housing, Roads and Public Buildings
Rebuilding homes, schools, hospitals, roads and bridges in cities such as Aleppo, Homs and the Damascus area requires large fleets of construction vehicles. Clearing rubble and moving earth calls for 8x4 and 6x4 tippers such as the Mercedes-Benz Arocs, MAN TGS and IVECO X-Way or T-Way. Building work also needs concrete mixers, bulk cement tankers, low-loaders for excavators and wheel loaders, and truck-mounted cranes. We configure these vehicles for intensive use on building sites and damaged roads.
Logistics and Trade: Latakia, Tartus and the Main Highways
The ports of Latakia and Tartus are Syria's main gateways by sea. Road connections with Turkey, Jordan and Iraq are also important for trade. Goods travel along the main north to south highway between Aleppo, Hama, Homs and Damascus. These routes call for reliable tractor units with good fuel economy and comfortable cabins, such as the Scania R-series, MAN TGX, Mercedes-Benz Actros and IVECO S-Way. For urban distribution in Damascus, Aleppo and other cities, we supply medium-duty trucks such as the IVECO Eurocargo, MAN TGM and Mercedes-Benz Atego, which combine payload with manoeuvrability in busy traffic.
Agriculture and Food: Wheat, Olives, Citrus and Cotton
Agriculture is one of the foundations of the Syrian economy. Wheat and cotton are grown on the plains of the north and east. Olives come from the areas around Idlib and Aleppo, and citrus fruit from the coastal region around Latakia and Tartus. Moving harvests and food requires grain trucks, tippers, curtainsiders and flatbeds for bagged goods, and refrigerated trucks for fresh produce, meat and dairy. We supply the chassis and have the right body built to your specifications.
Energy, Electricity and Water
Restoring the power grid, power plants, oil and gas facilities and water networks is essential for the country's recovery. These projects need crane trucks for work on power lines and substations, heavy tractor units for transporting transformers and equipment, and fuel tankers for fuel distribution. Water tankers are needed to supply areas with limited water access. For work on remote installations, we supply 4x4 trucks and all-wheel-drive vehicles such as the Mercedes-Benz Zetros.
Municipal Services and Humanitarian Operations
Municipalities need refuse trucks, rubble removal vehicles, water tankers and service vehicles to restore daily services. Humanitarian organisations need reliable cargo trucks and all-wheel-drive vehicles to deliver food, water and supplies, often on difficult roads. We supply robust chassis such as the MAN TGM, IVECO Eurocargo and Mercedes-Benz Atego, and have the right body built to your specifications.
Mercedes-Benz, MAN, IVECO, Scania & More
Our range covers the leading European commercial vehicle brands:
- Mercedes-Benz: the Actros, Arocs, Atego and off-road Zetros, known for their durability.
- MAN: the TGX, TGS, TGM and TGL, with strong drivetrains for heavy work.
- IVECO: the S-Way, X-Way, T-Way, Eurocargo and Daily, covering everything from light vans to heavy construction trucks.
- Scania: a popular choice for long-distance transport.
Other brands are available on request. Because Syria drives on the right, European left-hand-drive trucks are a natural fit. Not sure which brand or model suits your operation best? We compare the options with you objectively, based on your application, budget and service requirements.
Configured and Built for Syrian Conditions
Heat, dust, damaged roads, mountain routes and humid coastal air put extra strain on any vehicle. We help you choose the right specifications, including:
- reinforced suspension, the right axle configuration and robust tyres for damaged roads and building sites;
- heavy-duty air filtration and an upgraded cooling system;
- air conditioning for hot inland regions;
- a retarder or strong engine brake for mountain roads;
- corrosion protection for coastal use and an engine configuration suited to local diesel quality.
Through our network of European bodybuilders, we can deliver tippers, tankers, refrigerated bodies, crane installations and other specialised builds. Your truck leaves Europe fully prepared for the job it has to do in Syria.
