This award is reserved for the dealer or general distributor with the best performance across sales, marketing, customer service and parts, and for upholding the highest dealer standard. The objective is to recognise the best of the very best, and for the second consecutive year, Orbit Commercial Vehicles Cape Town won the award.

Our comprehensive network ensures support to all our customers throughout the entire region, and the performance of our partners in the past year is a testament to their enormous effort to provide excellent customer service.
