BUY 20, RUN 1 FREE.Save 5% on fuel when you invest in an Actros fl eet.Unlike other fuel consumption tests, Mercedes-Benz trucks chose the extreme everyday environment presented by the challenging Eastern Cape roads, with high traffi c congestion and adverse weather conditions to test the fuel effi ciency of the Actros 2644 LS/33 and Actros 2654 LS/33, equipped with Hypoid Axles. As real drivers took the helm of the 6 x 4 truck tractors, with standard interlink trailers, 9920 kilometers, including the Penhoek Pass with an elevation of over 1884 metres, stood between them and the goal – to prove these Mercedes-Benz trucks are the most fuel effi cient ever produced. It’s a goal that was not only achieved, but also quickly surpassed, as the trucks racked up an impressive 5% fuel saving, compared to the hub reduction axle models. Which means, the more Mercedes-Benz Actros models you add to your fl eet, the more you’ll be able to run for free.

Much like Denzel Washington’s character in the
recent Hollywood blockbuster, The Equaliser,
the Innovation Group is taking the fight to irregular
warranty coverage thanks to the launch of its latest
range of Motormend warranty extension packages.
According to the company’s spokesmen Trevor
van Rensburg and Andre Slabbert, these new
Innovation Group warranty packages will go a long
way in ensuring peace of mind for operators that
don’t necessarily have the coverage they need for
the mileage they cover.
“South Africa’s logistics sector is bustling with
activity and we’ve identified the need for a product
that caters for transporters and operators that
cover great distances and cannot afford to be
put out of pocket with costly repairs, especially
if they are not even aware that they are not
covered for specific components under their truck
manufacturer’s warranty,” van Rensburg explained.
Slabbert added that manufacturer and OEM
warranties, in the truck market, are usually broken
down into three segments:
• Basic Warranty – Usually covering trim items and
cab electronics
• Drivetrain Warranty
• Engine Warranty
“When a transporter buys a truck he is usually
‘sold’ on the idea that his or her truck comes with
a comprehensive warranty, however it’s important
to clarify with your OEM as to how their warranty
structure works,” Slabbert said.
He explained that once establishing how your
warranty works you are in a better position when
it comes to looking at bolstering your warranty
The Equaliser is hereVan Rensburg explained that the
Motormend plans are available for almost
every truck that’s sold in South Africa,
and that each truck has been stringently
assessed in terms of its risk factors when
pricing the appropriate plans for clients
coverage with an aftermarket plan.
“Our Motormend plans are unique in that it aligns
with specific portions of a manufacturer’s warranty
plan to extend warranty coverage on certain trucks
up to 1 000 000 kilometres when combined with
our extended warranties,” he said.
Van Rensburg explained that the Motormend
plans are available for almost every truck that’s
sold in South Africa, and that each truck has been
stringently assessed in terms of its risk factors
when pricing the appropriate plans for clients.
“Our clients are able to select the amount of cover
they require based on the precise needs of the
operations they perform on a daily basis. This not
only makes it easier to maintain a healthy fleet of
trucks, but it also makes it easier to sell the trucks
into the pre-owned market with some warranty
coverage still attached to it,” he explained.
While some OEMs are beginning to align the
warranties it offers in terms of equal distances
and time periods for all components, there are
a number of models on sale in SA where the
drivetrain warranty expires long before the
engine warranty.
“The Equaliser range of products will fill the gaps
left by your manufacturer’s standard warranty, and
once topped off with an extended warranty can
cover certain truck models for more than 1 000 000
kilometres, which is a first for the South African
market,” van Rensburg added.
The Innovation Group is no stranger to offering the
South African automotive sector unique solutions
to its conundrums, boasting more than 20 years
experience in the market.
In South Africa, the Innovation Group currently
enjoys a 60 percent market share of the outsourced
motor warranty, service and maintenance plan
market and have over 1 000 000 vehicles on
its books.
The full automotive market – passenger cars to
commercial vehicles – is catered for, and van
Rensburg explained that the Innovation Group also
offers tailored products for marine, motorcycle and
even agricultural vehicles.
“We’ve realised that there’s a need for extended
truck warranties in South Africa, as our economy
is heavily reliant on the road freight sector for
its growth. The addition of our new Equaliser
packages, which will offer even further cost savings
for transporters will ensure that their trucks are
kept on the road longer and, most importantly, that
the trucks on SA’s roads are well maintained and
safe,” van Rensburg added.

warranty packages contact Trevor van Rensburg on

FLEET MANAGEMENT >>
Isuzu Trucks Geared up for 2015
T he truck manufacturing sector in South Africa has
experienced significant milestones in 2014 thanks
to the establishment of several new OEM production
facilities around the country.Isuzu Truck South Africa also formed part of this massive
investment into the country’s infrastructure in 2014 when
it completed a multi-million upgrade to its Eastern
Cape manufacturing plant, which it claims puts it in an
enviable position amongst its closest competitors – as
the Japanese truck maker looks to increase its already
authoritative sales figures in 2015.“With our current plant location we have access to
a port, which makes transporting vehicles to the
19
Marketing Manager, Lisa van Aswegen, believe that its
expansive model line-up is continuing to prove itself in
being able to cover the exact needs of South Africa’s
bustling road freight sector.Isuzu Truck South Africa was the first OEM to introduce
the automated manual transmission - AMT – into the
medium commercial vehicle sector on selected N-Series
models back in 2008.Due to the popularity of the transmission, the company’s
N-Series truck has leapt ahead of its competitors in
the segment, continuing to meet the demands of
consolidated cargo movers as well as municipalities and
small business owners around the country.Van Aswegen said that the popularity of AMT is
astonishing, but not beyond belief as the company
knew that AMT would revolutionise the way in which
productive fleets are started, grown and maintained
in SA.
“AMT has proven itself in the market, and has
contributed to a better bottom line for a number of our
clients,” she said.AMT, Isuzu’s acronym for its class-leading transmission
solution, is based on a manual transmission that is
treated to a wet-type multi-clutch disc and advanced
fluid coupling, which essentially combines the fuel saving
regions we view as key growth nodes much easier,”
said Craig Uren, Isuzu Truck South Africa chief
operations officer (COO).“Our plant has undergone some radical changes in
line with our global leadership philosophies, which are
intrinsic to not only our brand but our heritage, too.
One philosophy that has been used successfully in the
plant in establishing optimal productivity is the use of
Kaizen principles, which has increased the capacity of our
workforce,” he added.Isuzu Truck South Africa’s upgraded Kempston Road
plant covers more than 44 000m2 and adheres to strict
ISO standards - ISO9001 and ISO14000.Here it assembles the N, F and FX series trucks and
boasts an impressive on-site safety record.“What we have managed to achieve at the plant is
decrease wasted time and injuries by increasing optimal
working conditions, which benefits our employees,’’
Uren said.He explained that as a business, Isuzu Truck South Africa
contributes towards many downstream activities within
the South African economy.“This means that although Isuzu Trucks may be in the
automotive industry, we contribute greatly to society.
The main mode of transport in South Africa is road
freight, and by ensuring that companies that purchase
our vehicles are sustainable we ensure that people
are employed throughout the supply chain, ranging
from drivers to merchandisers, store controllers and
distributors,” he added.Pledging support to worthy initiativesWhile the company’s roots run deep in the Eastern Cape
with its assembly plant, Isuzu Trucks continues to pledge
more than economic support to the region thanks to
its recent title sponsorship of the gruelling PE to Plett
mountain bike challenge.“Isuzu Truck South Africa boasts a long and prosperous
heritage in the Eastern Cape and is always seeking
innovative ways to give back to the local community of
Port Elizabeth and ultimately to the Province. The PE to
Plett mountain biking challenge afforded us the ideal
platform that would support the region that is known as
the home of Isuzu Trucks,’’ said Uren.Isuzu Trucks vehicles were also used throughout the race
as support vehicles.AMT still leading the packWhile the upgrades to its plant and the company’s
charitable concerns take a high priority on its agenda,
Uren and Isuzu Truck South Africa’s Customer Care and
Despite increasing OEM investment activity
from China, and mostly recently Europe,
Isuzu Truck South Africa remains focused on
putting more trucks on SA’s roads
