Renault Trucks was awarded the title of “Truck of the Year in Construction,” while the newly introduced LOVOL received the honor of “Emerging Construction Equipment Brand of the Year.”
Dubai, United Arab Emirates, November 4th / PRNewswire / -- Al Rostamani Group's member United Diesel stated that the company won two major awards at the Construction Innovation Awards 2026 event hosted by Construction Business News Middle East. The Renault Trucks was named "Construction Truck of the Year," while the LOVOL introduced to the United Arab Emirates earlier this year received the award for "Emerging Construction Equipment Brand of the Year."
These two brands serve different segments of the UAE construction supply chain, ranging from quarrying and earthwork engineering to concrete production and transportation. The construction industry accounted for 13.1% of the UAE's non-oil GDP in the first half of 2026, highlighting the importance of equipment performance, reliability, and operational efficiency for this vital economic sector. United Diesel is a leading enterprise in the UAE that serves this industry and is also the exclusive distributor of Renault Trucks in Dubai and the northern emirates, as well as the exclusive dealer of LOVOL in the UAE.
United Diesel General Manager David Sawiras indicates:
“Renault Trucks has long been an important part of our product portfolio for the construction industry in the UAE, especially suitable for application scenarios that require extremely high reliability and performance. This award reflects the strength of this brand and also demonstrates that customers continue to have confidence in its capabilities.”
Introducing LOVOL earlier this year was a natural step in our expansion of the solutions we provide. We saw an opportunity to meet the growing market demand for practical, high-productivity construction equipment that also offers value, without compromising on performance. It is particularly encouraging that LOVOL has been recognized in its first year in the United Arab Emirates, which further strengthens our confidence in the brand’s potential in this market.
Supporting the construction and materials supply chain in the UAE
The award-winning K-series from Renault Trucks is designed for demanding construction applications, including concrete mixing, rock dumping, and quarry transportation. This series is engineered for heavy loads and complex terrains, combining a robust chassis configuration with towing capabilities suitable for harsh working conditions. In Dubai and the northern emirates, Renault Trucks has established a solid market position among leading ready-mixed concrete producers as well as operators in the construction and quarry industries, supporting the transportation of concrete and raw materials required for construction and infrastructure projects.
The construction equipment product portfolio of LOVOL includes wheel loaders, excavators, off-road dump trucks, rollers, and graders, serving applications in construction, quarrying, mining, and infrastructure. Since entering the United Arab Emirates earlier this year, the brand's wheel loaders have been tested by customers at multiple construction sites, resulting in orders and generating interest from construction, ready-mixed concrete, and quarry operators. Its 75-ton capacity off-road dump trucks have also been put into operation in the mining areas of the northern emirates. These early successes reflect an increasing market acceptance for LOVOL as well as the efforts made by United Diesel to provide customers with a wider range of equipment options that combine performance, reliability, and competitive operational value.
Leveraging over 50 years of experience in the United Arab Emirates, United Diesel supports its manufacturing partners through local sales, technical expertise, maintenance, and supply of spare parts. Its services and spare parts business throughout the UAE provide construction operators with the support needed to maintain equipment availability and minimize downtime.
