Connecting Africa
with global supply.
Drive side and inspection requirements differ by destination. We confirm both before anything is bought, because a correctly specified vehicle on the wrong drive side is a total loss, not an inconvenience.
Importers and fleets,
buying to a spec.
We source vehicles, trucks and spare parts for dealers, importers, fleet operators and transport businesses across the region. The buyer states the requirement, including the destination, and we source against it.
Because we source to order rather than sell from stock, the destination is part of the specification from the start. That is where drive side and the inspection regime are settled, not after the vehicle is already bought.
Drive side and inspection
The markets we are asked for most often, with the two things that decide how a vehicle must be specified for each. Tell us your destination and we will confirm both for your shipment.

| Tanzania | RHD | Required by law |
| Uganda | RHD | Required by law |
| Zambia | RHD | Required by law |
| Ghana | LHD | Confirm for your shipment |
| Angola | LHD | Confirm for your shipment |

The destination
sets the drive side.
Most of East and Southern Africa drives on the left and needs right-hand-drive vehicles. Much of West Africa drives on the right and needs left-hand drive. It is decided by where the vehicle is going, not by preference.
We source both, and we confirm which one your market needs before we buy. If you are unsure, tell us the destination and we will tell you which applies.
