UD Trucks Southern Africa, in partnership with Fuzion Motor Group, is proud to announce the opening of two new fully equipped dealerships in the Western Cape: one in Vredenburg on the West Coast and another in Swellendam. These openings mark a significant milestone in expanding UD's national footprint, improving customer accessibility, and strengthening support across both urban and rural regions.
Strategic locations to support growth
The new Vredenburg dealership, located at 93 Main Road, officially opens its doors on 1st of October 2025. Positioned at the heart of the West Coast, it offers high visibility and easy access for customers from Vredenburg, Saldanha, Langebaan, Velddrif, and surrounding towns. With the region's rapid residential, commercial, and industrial growth, the demand for reliable transport solutions, servicing, and parts continues to rise.
The Swellendam dealership, situated at 10 Nelson Street, is just 1.5 km from the N2 offramp between Cape Town and George. This central location provides a convenient hub for regional transport businesses, local farmers, and fleet operators, ensuring that essential support is available closer to where customers operate.
Voices from the ground
"Opening this branch is more than just a business milestone—it's about serving the West Coast community right where they live and work. We're here to make servicing easier, more personal, and more accessible for everyone," said Jason De Swardt, Branch Manager of Vredenburg.
"The presence of UD Trucks in Swellendam is a proud moment for us. We can now offer both existing and new clients the convenience and peace of mind that comes with having expert service, genuine parts, and trusted support right on their doorstep," said Morné Trollip, Branch Manager for Swellendam.
A partnership built on reliability
For Fuzion Motor Group, the opening of new UD Trucks branches marks a significant step forward in strengthening both their service network and customer support across the region.
"The expansion of our UD branches enables us to better serve our clients while making the Fuzion name synonymous with the UD brand. For customers, this means trust—knowing they are supported by a partnership built on reliability and a shared commitment to excellence," said John Trollip, Managing Director of Fuzion Motor Group.
By leveraging UD Trucks' global expertise alongside Fuzion's deep understanding of local markets, the partnership ensures fleet operators and individual truck owners have access to timely, professional support and high-quality services. This collaboration not only enhances operational efficiency but also reinforces confidence in the UD brand, providing customers with peace of mind that their vehicles and businesses are backed by a network committed to reliability, performance, and long-term success.
Commitment to reliability and uptime
For UD Trucks Southern Africa, expanding its dealer network is about delivering more than vehicles — it's about ensuring customers experience the quality, durability, reliability, and uptime that define the brand.
"Expanding our presence alongside a trusted partner like Fuzion ensures that more customers can experience the reliability, efficiency, and uptime UD Trucks is known for. These dealerships embody our promise of being closer to our customers, wherever they operate," said Filip Van den Heede, Managing Director of UD Trucks Southern Africa.
"Our aftermarket support is built on speed, reliability, quality, and uptime. These new dealerships will reduce travel time for customers, improve service turnaround, and keep vehicles where they deliver the most value—on the road, earning for their owners," added Sanjay Naipal, Aftermarket Director at UD Trucks Southern Africa.
