South Africa’s roads are some of the most demanding in the world. From rugged rural terrain and unpredictable potholes to heavily loaded long haul transport routes, the conditions your trucks face daily are nothing short of brutal.

If your suspension system is not up to the challenge, it would not just affect ride quality, it can lead to faster tyre wear, increased fuel consumption, expensive maintenance issues, and compromised driver safety. That’s where Powerdown comes in.
