The 7 500m² dealership boasts a one-of-a-kind showroom, as well as a training facility available to enhance the skills of staff and local fleet owners. It has six work bays, trained and accredited technicians, mobile service units, parts warehouse, as well as dedicated sales teams for each of the brands.

He added that transport, and especially trucks are essential to the region’s growth, and to drive development and progress.
According to Bharuchi, the team is committed to ensuring that fleet operators’ vehicles stay productive and on the road by providing quick service and first-class technical solutions. “Safety is the cornerstone of everything we do; it is inherent in our vehicles, in the genuine parts that have been manufactured according to uncompromising standards, in our skilled and extensively trained workforce, as well in the innovative technology implemented to enhance Volvo truck operators’ productivity and efficiency” said Claes Nilsson, President of Volvo Trucks.
“Our ability to deliver quality sales and aftermarket support in Zambia, combined with our award-winning Volvo Trucks product range, prove that we are serious about providing local fleet owners with total transport solutions that contribute to their businesses’ profitability.”

“Underpinning this commitment is our expanding product and service offerings, which are founded on our heritage of quality, engineering and progressive technology to complement our customers’ unique business requirements. We are excited about the future of UD Trucks within Zambia, and the rest of the region.
