The achievements of Daimler Truck Southern Africa’s (DTSA) dealers and general distributors were recognised at the 2022 Dealer of the Year event with Orbit Commercial Vehicles Cape Town scooping up the top title.
In total, fourteen awards across eight categories were awarded, with the most prestigious award being the 2022 Overall Dealer of the Year Award. 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.
“The year 2022 was an all-time high for all our brands, and I am convinced that our dealers and general distributors are the benchmark in Southern Africa. 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.
