FAW Trucks Southern Africa says the Stucky Motors Group in its dealer network is a name synonymous with excellence, longevity, and customer-centric service in the South African transport industry.
Established in 1965 in Volksrust, Stucky Motors Group celebrates over 61 years of operation built firmly on strong relationships and unwavering trust. What began as a family business has grown into an automotive group with a deep-rooted reputation for integrity and professional service.
In 2023, Stucky Motors opened its first FAW Trucks dealership in Newcastle. Today, the group operates seven FAW dealerships, with the recent additions of Harrismith and the notable Kingsmead Retail site, further strengthening its footprint.
This strategic expansion provides exceptional coverage along the critical N3 and N4 freight corridors, ensuring FAW customers benefit from minimal downtime and rapid, localised support across these vital transport arteries, FAW adds.
The recent opening of FAW Harrismith has been particularly significant, effectively closing the gap on the N3 corridor. Customers can now access FAW sales, service, and parts support between Newcastle and Pietermaritzburg (PMB) with facilities located just two hours apart.
At every Stucky Motors FAW dealership, customers receive comprehensive 3S support — Truck Sales, Parts, and fully equipped Workshops. Most locations also feature spacious yards capable of accommodating trucks with trailers, along with dedicated driver rest areas, ensuring both vehicles and operators are well looked after.
“Stucky Motors Group embodies the true spirit of partnership,” says Xin Huang, COO of FAW Trucks Southern Africa. “Their long-standing commitment to customer service, combined with strategic positioning on South Africa’s busiest freight routes, makes them an invaluable extension of the FAW brand.”
