The lineup
Six lines that cover most of what moves on the continent.
Sizes and engines are typical configurations, not a fixed catalogue. Tell us the route, the load and the fuel you can buy — we build the sheet around it.

Why buyers here work with us
Five things that decide whether a truck earns or sits.
Most quotes look the same on paper. The difference shows up in month four, on a road with no shade and no dealer within 400 km.
01
Right-hand drive from the line
Not a left-hand-drive conversion with a moved steering box. RHD is a factory build option, which keeps the wiring loom, pedal box and dash the way the maker designed them.
02
The spec sheet follows the corridor
Long climbs, 45 °C ambient, high-sulphur diesel, unpaved last-mile. Radiator and fan, filtration, gear ratios and tyre choice are set from the route you describe, not from a default export list.
03
A spares kit travels with the unit
Filters, belts, brake chambers, lamps, a clutch set and the workshop manual ship in the same container. A truck that waits three weeks for a $12 seal is the most expensive truck on the fleet.
04
Documents handled end to end
Certificate of origin, PVoC or SGS inspection, BSC/CTN where the destination requires it, and the choice between container loading and RORO — priced both ways before you commit.
05
You approve the unit before it sails
Pre-delivery inspection report with photos of the chassis number, hour meter, cab, tyres and the loaded container. Balance is due against documents, but the unit is signed off on evidence.
Where the units go
We quote by corridor, because that is how freight is priced.
Port, inland destination and transit regime change the landed cost more than the FOB price does. Tell us the corridor and the quote includes it.

Five steps, and you know the cost at step two.

03
PI & deposit
Proforma invoice, 30% TT to schedule the build, balance against documents.

25–40 days typical, then inspection report and photos for your approval.
05
Ship & support
Full document set, spares kit in the box, and a parts list priced for year one.
Questions we get first
The practical ones.
If yours is not here, send it on WhatsApp — you will get an answer from someone who quotes trucks, not a ticket number.
What is the minimum order?
One unit. Container loading is quoted for a single truck and for a pair, so you can see exactly what the second one saves you. Mixed containers — a tractor plus a trailer, or a truck plus a spares order — are normal.
Can you supply right-hand drive?
Yes, as a factory build option across the tractor, tipper and cargo ranges. Left-hand drive stays available for the Sahel, Central Africa and the Francophone markets. Steering position is fixed at order — it cannot be changed afterwards.
What are the payment terms?
30% TT deposit to schedule production, 70% against a copy of the bill of lading. Letter of credit at sight for larger orders, and escrow through a third party if you prefer it. We do not ask for full payment up front.
How long from deposit to shipment?
25 to 40 days is typical for standard configurations. Special bodies — tankers, lowbed trailers, insulated boxes — run longer. The date goes into the proforma invoice, and we tell you if it slips rather than let you find out at the port.
What does the warranty cover, and who honours it?
12 months or 100,000 km on the powertrain, whichever comes first, with the terms written into the sales contract. Claims are handled by parts shipment from our stock plus a labour allowance agreed in advance — there is no pretence of a dealer network we do not have.
Do you handle shipping and clearing documents?
We quote CIF to your port and supply the certificate of origin, commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and the pre-shipment inspection certificate your customs authority requires (PVoC, SGS, BSC/CTN). Clearing at destination is done by your agent — we can introduce one where we have worked before.
Can I inspect before shipment?
Yes. Come to the yard, or send a third-party inspector we will host. You get the PDI report and dated photos either way, including the chassis number stamped on the frame.
Send the route, the load and the budget.
You get a written specification and a landed-cost estimate back — usually within one working day, in English, French or Portuguese.
