Saudi Arabia's General Authority of Transport extended the permitted operational age for freight trucks to 22 years, effective for 6 months until 25 September 2026.
The decision supports supply chain flexibility and gives the road transport sector more capacity to meet growing freight demand, without the immediate pressure of fleet replacement.
The authority confirmed that safety standards remain non-negotiable. All trucks operating under this extension must comply with regular technical inspections to ensure roadworthiness.
