OneLogix Agritrans
The partnership between Mercedes-Benz Trucks and OneLogix Agritrans of over two decades is founded on mutual trust and cooperation and on the back of Mercedes-Benz Truck’s core brand promise of offering “Trucks you can Trust”. In June 2022, these two business partners further strengthened their entrenched relationship with a handover of four Mercedes-Benz Actros 1840LS/37 FS models, through Orbit Commercial Vehicles Cape Town dealership.
OneLogix Agritrans, a recognised leader in providing world-class logistics and supply chain solutions proudly runs a 100% Mercedes-Benz Trucks fleet of 17 units largely because they provide an excellent value proposition that offers reliability, safety, and fuel-efficiency. Proving this notion, the recently delivered vehicles come with an all-inclusive market-leading value-added services package of the complete maintenance plan and flexible finance through Daimler Truck Financial Services (DTFS).
Commenting on the new fleet and strong partnerships, Andy Arde CEO, Abnormal Logistics Cluster OneLogix Agritrans: “As OneLogix we are excited to be extending our partnership with Mercedes-Benz Trucks and Orbit Commercial Vehicles Cape Town with these new vehicles. Our journey has been a fruitful one since the very beginning, and they have ensured that our fleet remains efficient and smoothly running through their hassle-free aftersales experience. Our total fleet comprises 100% Mercedes-Benz trucks and we have based our business model on running one specific brand to ensure that our stockholding of spare parts is consistent and universal across the fleet. Looking into the future, I am pleased to say that we have robust plans as a company to further expand our footprint in South Africa and the neighbouring countries and Mercedes-Benz Trucks remains our preferred business partner.”
Elaborating on symbiotic relationships, Maretha Gerber, Vice President: Sales and Marketing Daimler Truck Southern Africa: “In our constant endeavour to put an immense amount of emphasis on being an integral part of our customer’s businesses, we are honoured to witness OneLogix Agritans’ legacy of success through our cutting-edge products and best-in-class service. We value our exclusive partnership and are proud to have been serving the logistics and supply chain industry together. We will continue to play an active role in the commercial vehicle industry, working closely with customers to provide mobility solutions to better serve their growing business needs. We cannot wait to see these trucks on the road and are confident that in the coming years our relationship with OneLogix Agritans remains unabated, reaping the mutual benefits.”
