• After driver training by Transit Support Services
Dangote Cement Plc has presented 82 brand new Shacman trucks to its distributors to ease the distribution of cement to consumers across Nigeria.
The vehicles were handed over to the distributors after their drivers, supervisors and managers were trained by the Transit Support Services (TSS) at the Shacman Nigeria assembly plant in Enugu, Enugu State.
The initiative was meant to further help the distributors service their customers efficiently and profitably just as it will enable them take their business to the next level.
Shacman Nigeria said the training, which focused more on the drivers, will not only help them to be more aware of their trucks and help to reduce carnages on Nigerian roads but will also ensure proper handling and maintenance of the vehicles.
One of the distributors, Mr. Gilbert Igweka, who could not hold back his excitement, appreciated Dangote Group and congratulated other distributors who were present at the event.
“I want to thank Dangote Group for supporting our business with these trucks at a time like this that businesses are shutting down due to the Covid-19 pandemic, these trucks will help us service our customers better and meet more demands,” Igweka said.
“Also, I thank SHACMAN Nigeria and TSS for the training and enlightenment which will help us take proper care of our trucks in terms of maintenance and safety on the roads as well as helping our business thrive the more. As a consistent user of the SHACMAN truck brand, I will say Dangote made a good choice.”
Dangote Group is the biggest customer of SHACMAN brand in Nigeria. Since the introduction of SHACMAN vehicles into the Nigeria market through Transit Support Services Limited as SHACMAN Nigeria five years ago, the Dangote Group has bought over 1,500 units of the brand.
The group also placed an order for about 350 units of SHACMAN heavy duty trucks assembled by TSS at the ANAMMCO plant which were delivered to the Dangote Oil Refinery at Ibeju-Lekki in Lagos. Other customers using SHACMAN brand include BUA Cement, ABC Transport, AA Global logistics, NUSTANZA Motors and many others. At the moment, over 4,000 Shacman trucks are running on Nigerian roads .
