NEW CONSTRUCTION TRUCK SERVICE DEALER IN VAAL TRIANGLE

INDUSTRY NEWS

UD Trucks Southern Africa has announced the opening of a new service dealer in Sasolburg. Strategically located, UD Trucks Vaal will serve fleet-owners in the industrial heartland of the country with certified UD Trucks service, parts and roadside assistance.

This brings the total number of independently owned UD Trucks dealers in SA to 38.

“We believe in offering our customers more than just a vehicle. It’s about providing a complete transport solution,” says Filip van den Heede, MD of UD Trucks Southern Africa. “The UD Trucks dealer network has been developed according to a carefully planned strategy. All dealers adhere to stringent quality requirements and, as a result, we can deliver the same level of quality service to our customers, no matter where they are.”

One of the main reasons for UD Trucks Southern Africa’s continued success is the emphasis the company places on building relationships with fleet-owners.

“In the highly competitive transport business, we know that every cent and every minute counts. We live this vision from the inside out,” says Van den Heede. “That’s why we’re very pleased and excited about the opening of the UD Trucks Vaal Service dealership. We believe in the team and know that they’re truly committed to providing our customers with the kind of support and service they expect and deserve.”

The service dealer facility is owned by Highpoint Group, a local company with more than 20 years’ experience in mining, manufacturing, engineering and vacuum technology.

As a UD Trucks customer itself, it has the unique expertise to anticipate and deliver fleet-owners’ unique business and transport requirements.

“Through our dealings with UD Trucks, we’ve come to know and trust its products and services built on the principles of drivability, fuel-efficiency, safety, productivity and uptime – all essentials in any transport business,” says MD David Gade. “Most importantly, though, we believe in the UD Trucks people.”

He says his company is passionate about customer service, so UD Trucks’ brand promise of “Going the Extra Mile” resonates with what Highpoint is already doing in its daily operations. “I also believe that the technical expertise in this dealership is exceptional and customers in the Vaal Triangle will benefit from our knowledge and skills,” says Gade.

The UD Trucks Vaal team is led by dealer principal Sonnika Oosthuizen.
