Formed in 1998 as a joint venture between Zahid Group and the Volvo Truck Corporation, the Arabian Vehicles & Trucks Industry Company (AVI) assembles Volvo, Renault and UD Trucks in the Kingdom. To meet growing demands, a state-of-the-art, 55,000 square meter facility facility was built in King Abdullah Economic City. It is the only plant in the world where Volvo, Renault and UD Trucks are assembled on the same production line. The facility has an annual production capacity of 5,000 trucks per year in a single shift.
