Formed in 1998 as a joint venture with Volvo Truck Corporation, AVI assembles and sells Volvo and Renault trucks in the Kingdom. AVI has since increased its annual production capacity from 600 units in 1999 to almost 3,000 units in 2015. To meet growing demands, a state-of-the-art, 55,000-square- meter- facility was built in King Abdullah Economic City. It is one of the first plants in the world to assemble both Volvo and Renault trucks on the same production line, with a designed capacity of 5,000 trucks per year in a single shift.
AVI develops local talent by hiring and training young Saudis who are then employed at AVI’s factories. AVI adheres to the highest international standards. It became ISO 9002-certified in 2000 and OHSAS 18001:2007-certified in 2010.
