The Reinhardt Transport Group in a landmark deal with MAN Truck & Bus South Africa, procured 140 MAN TGS 27.440BBS 6×4 truck-tractors to service its Rustenburg-based Chrome Carriers division.

Graham Gaskell, deputy CEO at Reinhardt Transport Group said during the official handover on 3 May at its headquarters in Nigel, Gauteng, that the deal with MAN followed a stringent process of product analysis of several leading extra-heavy truck OEMs to determine which derivative would offer lowest total cost of ownership and deliver optimum productivity.

In 2012, Chrome Carriers deployed four MAN TGS 27.440BBS units into the fleet on a trial basis.

Derick Reinhardt, CEO at Reinhardt Transport Group, says, “It was primarily the fact that the TGS units, after notching up over 200 000km each without a single technical issue being reported, that we chose MAN over its competitors. The decision was supported by a number of other positive factors including impressive fuel consumption figures, competitive pricing, driver comfort, comprehensive product support and a warranty and maintenance structure that meets our fixed-cost targets.”

Bruce Dickson, MAN Truck & Bus South Africa’s truck division CEO stated, “It is a privilege to be associated with such a high-profile fleet. The industry at large looks to Reinhardt Transport for best-practice benchmarks and being able to enter the Chrome Carriers fleet with such resounding success gives all of us at MAN much to be proud of.”
