Wiegand: Automechanika aan important forum

MAN Truck & Bus Middle East launched a new product range and demonstrated its focus on the growing aftermarket segment at Automechanika Dubai, the region’s largest and most comprehensive trade and networking exhibition for the automotive aftermarket which took place from June 11 to 13 at the Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre.

At the event, the company launched the MAN Genuine Parts Ecoline range which consists of remanufactured parts that offer a cost-effective alternative for older company vehicles, while meeting stringent company quality standards. Through the Ecoline range which comes with a comprehensive warranty, the company helps customers get vehicles back on the road more quickly because replacing parts is easier than repair.
