Karwa Motors launches intercity buses

Muscat: Karwa Motors, a subsidiary of Oman Investment Authority (OIA) and Qatar Transportation Company, announced the launch of a new type of buses, specifically intercity buses.

The new type of the buses designed to accommodate 45 passengers in line with Gulf standard specifications approved for buses operating in the oil and gas sector.

The company on Tuesday celebrated delivering two of these buses to a leading transportation company in the Sultanate of Oman.

Karwa Motors said that the delivery of these two new intercity buses marks an important step towards introducing this bus category into the local market, amidst significant demand from both local companies and individuals interested in utilizing this mode of transportation.

With this new bus category, Karwa aims to enter both the local and regional markets, enhancing the production capabilities of the Karwa Motors factory located in the Special Economic Zone at Duqm (SEZAD) to meet the growing demand for "Karwa" buses, following their successful deployment during the Qatar World Cup 2022.
