The company is planning to build a local production plant with an annual export target of 1,000 units. Once the plant is established, it will also produce quantities for export to neighboring Middle Eastern countries.

Saudi Arabia is promoting large-scale construction projects in various fields according to its mid- to long-term development policy, Vision 2030. This is based on the expectation that demand for heavy trucks will steadily increase. Kim Bang-shin, president of Tata Daewoo Commercial Vehicle, said, "Combining the company's technological capabilities with the strengths of local partners will provide a foundation for continuous growth in the Middle Eastern market."
