UD Trucks Southern Africa has been awarded the International Sales Award as the brand’s largest overseas market in 2016. 

Despite recent economic challenges, Southern Africa has remained the largest market for the UD Trucks brand outside of its base in Japan. The company currently has an extensive network of 47 dealers across the region, providing support customers with their transport requirements, from sales to service and parts.

“We have great expectations for the future of the brand within the region and are confident that we will continue to be successful as we have been over the last five decades,” says Gert Swanepoel, managing director of UD Trucks Southern Africa.

“Through continuous training, skills development and the implementation of world-class quality standards, we are able to provide customers with a dependable service wherever they operate their fleets within the region.”

Swanepoel believes the award is a testament to the calibre of staff and dealers the company has in the region, and believes it will drive the organisation to perform even better this year.

“Our dealers are true ambassadors of the brand and are on the forefront of our interactions with our customers.  We are very honoured to receive this award on behalf of all our staff and dealers,” he concludes.
