A great honour and achievement befell FAW Trucks Ermelo when they were named South Africa’s Dealer of the Year for 2021.

The dealership has been operating in Ermelo since 1992 as part of the Ermelo Truck & Tractor Centre (ETTC) Group.

Ermelo Truck & Tractor Centre’s group marketing manager, Mr Jurie Eksteen, stated, “This is such an honour for our town.”

Agribusiness, construction, and coal are the three primary transport industries in Ermelo.

There are several national roads entering the town, including the N11, N17 and N2 and it is linked with Middelburg, Newcastle, Swaziland and even Richard’s Bay.

Feeder towns Piet Retief, Standerton and Secunda – most of which don’t have truck dealers or appropriate servicing facilities – are all within a 120km radius.
