Across southern Africa, transport and logistics companies are getting more from their fleets thanks to DAF trucks – and the expert support of Babcock.
Take Legacy Bulk Hauliers, for example. Since switching to DAF XF trucks, they’ve seen a big drop in fuel costs. These trucks come with smart fuel-saving tech, and Babcock’s TankSafe Optimum device has added extra protection by stopping fuel theft and overfilling. The result? Lower running costs and a more efficient, reliable fleet.
“The performance of our DAF trucks has exceeded expectations, particularly in terms of fuel efficiency. With a favourable total cost of ownership, DAF remains a strong contender for our future expansion plans”
~ Wynand Krause, Director, Legacy Bulk Hauliers
For Hughcor, the decision to rely on DAF trucks has strengthened the company’s operational reliability. The robust performance of the DAF XF 480 allows the company to maintain tight project timelines, ensuring consistent delivery and boosting client satisfaction. The trucks’ superior hill-climbing ability and efficient performance on inclines have been especially beneficial in challenging terrains.
Bidvest International Logistics relies on Babcock’s customised servicing and maintenance plans to keep their fleet moving. With regular check-ups and fast response times, they’ve cut down on surprise breakdowns and costly downtime – essential in an industry where every minute counts.
Further north, Usangu Logistics in Tanzania has added 30 DAF XF trucks to its fleet, working in partnership with Dutch Health BV. The trucks’ fuel efficiency and dependability support Usangu’s focus on sustainable long-haul transport. The success of this project has set the stage for more joint ventures with Babcock across Africa.
Closer to home, Inyameko, a fuel transporter, has strengthened its logistics capabilities with the addition of DAF XF 480 trucks. These vehicles offer exceptional fuel efficiency, alongside driver comfort and operational reliability. For Inyameko, this investment has enhanced their ability to meet growing business demands while staying true to their principles of service excellence.
SA City Link has also seen impressive results. They run a mixed fleet, but say their DAF trucks stand out for their low fuel use, reliable performance and driver comfort. It’s made a real difference in helping them stay ahead in a competitive market.
