The 55-seater Falcon bus and 32-seater Oyster bus – will be supplied from Ashok Leyland’s US$ 50 million state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Ras Al Khaimah, UAE, which is the only certified local bus making facility in the entire GCC.

This is a testament to the reliability, durability and robustness of our buses and reaffirms the faith that our customers have on our buses being the safest for transporting school students.

These products are made in the UAE assembly plant. The product concepts originate in the UAE, thedesigns are done by our engineers in UAE and are assembled in the factory in UAE, with more than 55% of parts sourced in UAE.  It will be apt to call it “The Emirati Bus”- Made in UAE, for the GCC.
