AMA Product Manager Emil Khneisser who supervised the development of this exclusive AMA local project, said: “Gannas is not a new idea. In 1994-1995 Gannas had been launched with the 5th generation of the Nissan Patrol, equipping vehicles with sand tires and water tanks in place of the third row of seats. Today, we have revived the concept and developed an exclusive vehicle that is fully equipped to serve the requirements of passionate off-roaders in the UAE.”
