At Automechanika Frankfurt 2026, ZF Aftermarket is underlining how electric mobility can become more serviceable for the independent aftermarket.

🧑‍🔧 With its Maintain-Repair-Replace approach, the company is enabling workshops to carry out targeted component-level repairs on electrified drivetrains, while OE-quality remanufactured options are available when replacement is the more appropriate route.

🔋 Backed by ZF’s experience of more than six million OEM electric motors produced, the new E-Mobility Repair Kit family brings OE-quality repair concepts to hybrid and fully electric powertrain applications. With more than 100 electric axle drive repair kit variants set to become available in the coming weeks, ZF is expanding workshops’ options for professional component-level repair.

Each kit is tailored to a defined technical application and combines the relevant components needed for professional repair. This helps reduce complexity, supports reliable repair decisions and closes a growing service gap as electrified vehicles age. Where repair is not technically or economically the right route, ZF’s remanufactured portfolio provides OE-quality replacement options, with around 2,400 remanufactured transmission SKUs, including hybrids.

🚌 ZF Aftermarket is also preparing for a more diverse European EV parc. By the first quarter of 2027, its European catalogue offering for Chinese vehicle brands will include up to 200 references. By the end of 2027, ZF Aftermarket aims to cover ten of the most popular models from these manufacturers in Europe, reaching approximately 30% workshop demand coverage.

🚚 The appointment of Dr Mncane Mthunzi as naamsa CEO marks an important new chapter for The Automotive Business Council and comes at a defining moment for South Africa’s automotive industry.

🔋 The transition towards new energy vehicles, rapid advances in technology, evolving global trade relationships, intensifying competition for investment and the transformation of automotive supply chains are fundamentally reshaping the industry.

Dr Mthunzi assumes leadership of naamsa at this important juncture, with a mandate to serve the collective interests of its members while strengthening the organisation’s role as the authoritative and unified voice of SA’s automotive industry.

naamsa represents a broad membership across the automotive value chain, including local vehicle manufacturers, importers and retailing OEMs, and medium and heavy commercial vehicle manufacturers. This diverse membership gives the organisation both the responsibility and mandate to advance the long-term competitiveness, growth and transformation of the local automotive industry.

🗣️ “We are entering a period that will fundamentally determine the future structure and competitiveness of our sector, and we require strong, decisive and strategic leadership to navigate it,” said naamsa president Peter van Binsbergen. “Dr Mthunzi’s mandate is about serving our members while helping shape the conditions under which one of South Africa’s most important industrial sectors can compete, transform and grow globally.”

💡 Dr Mthunzi is a business turnaround specialist who has played high-stakes transformation and recovery roles in both the private and public sectors. Previous roles include Edcon Group COO, Massmart Group executive, CEO of the Consumer Goods Council of South Africa and past president of the Black Management Forum.

FOCUS is pleased to share that Ctrack is supporting Truck Test 2026 as the official telematics partner.

🔎 Telematics has become an operational necessity for South African fleets, with fleet owners needing real-time visibility into vehicle performance, driver behaviour and route efficiency to stay competitive.

🗣️ “Fleet operators are under enormous pressure to improve productivity, manage fuel costs, reduce downtime and keep drivers safe,” says Hein Jordt, group CEO of Ctrack. “Telematics plays a critical role in making those decisions measurable rather than speculative. We are proud to partner with FOCUS on an event that gives the transport industry credible, independently verified insight into how these vehicles perform where it matters most – on the road.”

The event’s partner ecosystem also includes Engen (fuel and lubricants partner), TruckScience (data collection and results analysis partner), Afrit (trailer partner), Bandag (tyre partner), ZF (aftermarket partner) and WearCheck (condition monitoring partner).

The City of Cape Town’s Urban Mobility Directorate has joined the Bloomberg Philanthropies Initiative for Global Road Safety (BIGRS). The BIGRS is an initiative that supports a global network of over 30 cities, to implement evidence-based interventions to reduce traffic fatalities and injuries.

🛻 The partnership will include technical assistance and training from experts in the world’s leading road safety organisations, which will greatly benefit the City’s Transport Planning & Network Management team as they implement Cape Town’s recently approved Road Safety Strategy. The City will be receiving four full-time professionals based at the City for a period of four years.

The projects which will stem from this new partnership will be managed by the City’s Urban Mobility Directorate in close partnership with Traffic Services.

🗣️ “The launch of this exciting partnership is perfectly timed as our transport planning teams embark on the implementation of the City’s recently approved Road Safety strategy, which ultimately directs our efforts in making Cape Town’s roads safer and reducing the number of accidents and loss of life. We are aligned to what we know is one of the greatest drivers for the BIGRS, which is to assist cities in creating a transport system that allows people to move safely and efficiently,” said the City’s Mayoral Committee Member for Urban Mobility, Councillor Rob Quintas (pictured right).

In his new role as managing director of ZF Services South Africa and sub-regional head for Sub-Saharan Africa and the DomTom regions, Maic Dressen will lead the company’s South African operations and support ZF Aftermarket’s continued development across the African continent.

💡 Dressen has +20 years of experience in the international automotive aftermarket, starting in South Africa in 2002 with an internship at BMW which sparked a lasting affinity for the African continent. This led him to ZF Trading where he took a role as key account manager for the Middle East and Africa. He later gained valuable experience in the original equipment (OE) sector before returning to the automotive aftermarket, where he has held various international leadership positions.

Before rejoining ZF, Dressen served as VP of Sales for the Middle East, Africa and India at a German automotive parts manufacturer.

🗣️ “The OE sector gave me important insights into the automotive industry from a different perspective. However, I quickly realised that the aftermarket is where I feel most at home. It is a people-driven business built on trust, personal engagement and long-term relationships – and that is what motivates me,” says Dressen.

🌍️ South Africa is one of ZF’s longest-established locations globally and plays an important role within the wider regional organisation. Its experienced local team, technical capabilities and established infrastructure provide a strong foundation for supporting customers and partners in other African markets.

Bandag, a world leader in retreading technology and tyre performance solutions, has been named the official tyre partner of Truck Test 2026, the landmark evaluation being organised by FOCUS on Transport & Logistics from 10 to 12 November.

🚚 The appointment places one of the commercial transport industry’s most experienced tyre performance specialists at the heart of a test that will see 20 extra-heavy trucks from 13 manufacturers put through their paces on the demanding Johannesburg-Durban-Johannesburg route.

🗣️ “Tyres are sometimes viewed simply as a consumable, but their influence on the overall efficiency of a vehicle is far greater than that,” says Monal Naik, marketing manager for Bandag Southern Africa.

“They affect rolling resistance, fuel consumption, vehicle uptime, safety and ultimately cost per kilometre. When you are comparing the performance of 20 trucks under controlled conditions, the tyre component therefore has to be treated with the same seriousness as every other technical variable.”

Since mid-2023, El Niño’s weather extremes have been squeezing supply chains on land, sea and air. The most visible casualty is the Panama Canal – the strategic waterway linking the Atlantic and Pacific.

⚓️ The canal historically handles ~1,000 ships a month, carrying 40M+ tonnes of goods (5% of global maritime trade). The US-built canal’s main users are the US, China, Japan, Chile and South Korea.

As of 3 September, the canal operator will start cutting the number of ships passing through it because of low water levels in two artificial lakes that feed the canal – the result of prolonged drought in Central America caused by El Niño. The lakes also provide water for half the local population of 4.2 million people.

📉 By 15 September, the number of ships allowed to transit will drop to 32 per day.

⏱️ Waiting times for ships without reservations will increase. Those slots are auctioned off. Before the Middle East war the average winning bid in these auctions was $135,000. But in April one transport company desperate to transit paid an astronomical $4m.

🗺️ Logistics giants like DHL have had to reroute cargo from the US East Coast to the West Coast just to keep goods moving.

The knock-on effects include delays, increased freight costs, contract renegotiations and legal exposure for carriers and shippers alike.

😳 Uncomfortable truth: climate change may be making El Niño events more frequent and more severe. So this isn’t a one-off disruption but rather a preview of what’s ahead for global logistics.

👉 Adapting to a less predictable climate is becoming the new baseline.

Bringing the competitor total to 20 trucks, IVECO has entered Truck Test 2026 – the largest extra-heavy vehicle comparison ever staged in South Africa.

🛣️ Thirteen of the world’s leading OEMs are putting their vehicles through real-world conditions from 10-12 November, all chasing the productivity index: litres burned versus average speed sustained over the route.

🚚 IVECO’s entry is built with that equation in mind. Under the bonnet of the S-Way Frontier 560 AS440S56TZ ON+ is the 560 HP Cursor 13, which delivers 2500Nm of torque through a 12-speed HI-TRONIX automated transmission.

A 2.83 rear axle ratio keeps engine RPMs low at cruising speed, while ECO-ROLL, ECOSWITCH and ECOFLEET work together in the background, trimming consumption on descents and adjusting shift and performance parameters to the load.

📈 It’s the kind of intelligent efficiency that shows up directly in a productivity index score. How will the truck fare in November? Only time will tell...

⚡ 720 KM. 598 HP. 750 KW CHARGING.

HAS MAN JUST CHANGED THE ELECTRIC TRUCK GAME?

If you still think electric trucks are only suited to short-haul distribution, MAN is about to give you something to think about.

On 14 September at IAA Transportation 2026, MAN will officially pull the covers off its new eTGX – and the numbers are seriously impressive.

The headline figure? Up to 720 km of range without intermediate charging.

The new 6x2 tractor can be specified with seven batteries and 644 kWh of total capacity, while a new top-of-the-range electric motor produces 598 hp.

Then there’s the charging.
⚡ Up to 750 kW MCS charging
🔋 Around 30 minutes to recharge
🚛 Up to 720 km range
💪 Up to 598 hp
🔌 New battery generation with 10% more usable energy
♻️ Recuperation improved by up to 20%
📉 Up to 3% greater efficiency

MAN has also redesigned the front of the eTGX for better aerodynamics and visibility, while new safety technology, driver comfort features and a mechanical night lock form part of the package.

We will be at the world premiere. Stay tuned for details!

🚀 𝗙𝘂𝗲𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗔𝗚𝗔𝗜𝗡!

The price of fuel is set to increase sharply this Wednesday night (2 September) at 24h00, mainly due to higher international prices.

⛽️ Diesel will increase by 11,23% or 11,71%, depending on the amount of sulphur, while both grades of petrol will increase by 5,27%.

Ongoing geopolitical tension, surging risk and supply-and-demand issues will continue to float high fuel prices, says Gavin Kelly, CEO of the Road Freight Association – making adaptability essential for South Africa’s freight sector.

🗣️ “These increases will place further pressure on household budgets and raise operating and distribution costs across the economy,” says Brandon Cohen, chairperson of the National Automobile Dealers’ Association (NADA), a proud association of the Retail Motor Industry Organisation (RMI).

“For motorists, fuel efficiency and the total cost of vehicle ownership will become even more important considerations when purchasing a vehicle.”

💵 The increases may also add to inflationary pressure, potentially presenting the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) with difficult decisions on whether to hold or increase interest rates at its next Monetary Policy Committee meeting.

🌟 Celebrating the CRET Class of 2025 – and the Drive to Thrive

It was an honour to attend the Cyril Ramaphosa Education Trust (CRET) Graduate Recognition and Partnership Evening 2026, celebrating the achievements of the CRET Class of 2025 and the young people building brighter futures through education, skills and opportunity.

Since its inception, CRET has supported 830 young people, including:

🎓 436 tertiary students
🎓 275 graduates
🛠️ 394 skills development beneficiaries
🚛 97 driver training beneficiaries
👁️ 76 eye tests and 61 pairs of spectacles
🌍 Representation from all nine provinces
🤝 4 students supported through the CRET Alumni Trust

But CRET does more than fund education and tuition. It removes the practical barriers that can affect progression, confidence and employability.

For many graduates, earning a qualification is only the first step. A strong academic record and a hard-won degree can still be held back by one missing requirement: a valid driver’s licence.

That’s why Charmont Media Global, FOCUS on Transport & Logistics and SHEQ Management are proud to endorse CRET’s Drive to Thrive initiative – helping graduates overcome this barrier and take the next step towards meaningful employment and independence.

Because sometimes, the difference between having the qualification and getting the opportunity is simply having the means to get there. 🚗💨

Look out for the next issue of FOCUS on Transport & Logistics for the full story!
