You keep the gears of our economy turning.

South Africa is an anomaly at the center of the world economy. The economic hub of Gauteng, located far away from busy seaports, presented a huge logistical challenge to the country’s various fleet operators, which they accepted with great enthusiasm.

Major industries such as mining, manufacturing and financial services are concentrated in this landlocked province. Coupled with the economy's high reliance on exports, this has had a significant impact on the development of transportation networks. Road, rail and air networks all tend to radiate from Gauteng Province (centered in Johannesburg) to coastal ports. This is unlike any other country in the world.

As a result, the transport industry has become the backbone of the South African economy, benefiting businesses, providing employment opportunities and contributing significantly to the economy's overall GDP.

Within Africa, South Africa currently owns most of Africa's transport infrastructure, reflecting its economic dominance in the continent. South Africa only accounts for 5% of Africa's population and 3.6% of Africa's land area, but it has 32% of Africa's railway routes, 61% of railway freight volume in Africa, 15% of roads south of the Sahara and 82% of highways south of the Sahara, making it an investment An ideal springboard country for the rest of Africa and allowing existing fleet companies to expand their operations.
