… NOW YOU’RE MOTORING
Clover’s Ngilo competes for SA against world’s drivers ALFRED Ngilo, a driver for Clover in KwaZuluNatal, this weekend represents South Africa in the second annual UD Extra Mile Challenge in Japan. Ngolo proved the most effective user of both time and diesel against 20 other UD Quester drivers in the Extra Mile Challenge in South Africa earlier this year. He now faces the same test in that UD dubbed the “World Cup” of driver competitions. Ngilo told Wheels the challenge fo cuses on real world driver skills in three sections; a predrive inspection, eco nomic driving skills, and cargo handling. The father of three said the UD Chal lenge was not his first win in a driver competition — he won the Department of Transport’s competitions in KwaZu luNatal in 2009, Limpopo in 2011 and again in KwaZuluNatal in 2014 — but it certainly was the toughest. Comparing other driving competi tions to the UD Extra Mile Challenge, the forkliftoperatorturnedtrucker said the challenges were useful in real life, thanks to the combination of vehicle
checks, driving skills and cargo manage ment. “All other driving competitions that I’m aware of, just test your skills to move the truck into tight spaces, but UD challenge you to know your Quester like it is a part of you.” The toughest part of the local elimina tions was the tight mountain track at the Gerotek Test Center in Pretoria West. “That was as bad as any alley dock down a narrow lane in congested Jo’burg,” Ngi lo said. But on the day, he collected the most points and to share the podium with Pinki Chuduku, driving for Vital Distribution and Khumalo Vusumusi, driving for Shoprite. On the eve of his first trip out of South Africa, Ngilo said excitement was run ning high in his family, but confessed he had no idea what to expect when he ar rived for the global leg of the competi tion at UD Truck’s headquarters in Ageo, Japan. Fortunately, UD Trucks Southern Af rica (UDTSA) manager of fleet sales, Ann Pienaar and UD driver Trainer, Der eck Moima, will accompany him and as

sured Ngilo they will assist him in every way. Moima said last year’s South Afri can winners of the challenge, the Afgri driverteam of James Mavuso and assist
ant Hennie Schutte, came back as win ners of the best fuel consumption, and he has every confidence Ngilo can do at least as well as his countrymen did.

Moima said friendliness and patience were two traits that set Ngilo apart, both on the road and in the yard. Ngilo said having started at the back of the truck, loading with a forklift, he understood de lays at the depot. “Not getting impatient during loading makes me take it easy on the road too,” said the champion Quest er driver. UD Trucks Southern Africa’s acting vice president, Gert Swanepoel, said the Extra Mile Challenge celebrated drivers, but also showed UD fleet customers how to achieve the best balance of fueleffi cient driving, minimum downtime and using UD’s Extra Mile support. “Our promise to Go the Extra Mile, together with this challenge to our fleet customers, gives them a chance to recog nise the skills of their drivers,” said Swanepoel. “Without truckers our econ omy stops, which makes it UD’s privilege to celebrate our driver’s valuable skills in this challenge.” He said the UD Trucks’ Quester range is specifically aimed at developing mar kets and is ideally suited to industry seg ments like agriculture, forestry and pa per, public utilities, building and con struction, mining and petrochemical. The model range is on the forefront of UD Trucks’ global aspirations of being a modern smart truck supplier, which ex cels on the essentials while retaining its inherent Japanese heritage. — WR.
