The Dangote Group has purchased 400 Shacman trucks assembled
at the Anambra Motor Manufacturing Company (ANAMMCO) plant in Enugu state.
In a statement on its website, Shacman Nigeria said Dangote
Group has bought over 3,500 vehicles since the entry of the brand into the
Nigeria market six years ago.
Shacman trucks are assembled in Enugu state by Transit
Support Services Limited (TSS), a subsidiary of ABC Transport Plc.
“The largest buyer of Shacman brand in Nigeria, Dangote Group has since the entrance of Shacman vehicles into the Nigeria market through Transit Support Services Limited (TSS) as Shacman Nigeria six years ago bought over 3,500 units of the brand,” the statement read.
“The recognition of Shacman as reliable heavy duty vehicles,
and the growing need for such vehicles within the continuously expanding
conglomerate influenced its decision to patronise the trucks.
“Dangote group has absolute trust on the quality of the
locally assembled Shacman trucks that are backed by warranty that is of global
standard and after-sales services.”
Describing Dangote Group as its “biggest customer”, Shacman
Nigeria said the company’s continuous patronage had resulted in the
revitalisation of the ANAMMCO plant; creation of jobs in the south-east and
rejuvenation of the Onne port in Rivers state.
“Since the partnership started in 2016 with an initial order
of 500 locally assembled Shacman trucks by Dangote, his commitment to empower
local manufacturers and the continuous patronage have created jobs in the south
east by reviving ANAMMCO plant in Enugu with an opportunity to produce trucks
locally instead of importing them,” the statement added.
“It has also brought back Onne Port in Rivers state with
over 3000 containers since ANAMMCO was resuscitated.”
Speaking on the purchase, Dave Chukwudulue, general manager
of TSS motors, said: We will continue to create value for users of Shacman
trucks in Nigeria by supporting them with the best after sales service
programme. This has indeed resulted in the increasing demand for our trucks.”
