DFSK South Africa announced the recent delivery of three DFSK vehicles to Pick n Pay through the DFSK Estcourt branch, Dundee.
The supermarket chain has incorporated the new vehicles into its delivery fleet to meet the growing demand for urgent transport of goods in the region.
The vehicles, which are expected to cover more than 57 600 kilometres annually, will be used to support Pick n Pay’s commitment to fast, reliable deliveries across its service area. The decision to choose DFSK was driven by a combination of vehicle reliability, efficiency and the presence of nearby service support, it says.
Ian Marx, Managing Director of Pick n Pay’s Estcourt store, shared insights into the decision:
“We needed dependable transport for our goods, and having a nearby service centre was crucial. Reliability and after-sales service were key factors when selecting vehicles for our fleet, and DFSK offered both.”
DFSK South Africa’s commitment to dependable commercial transport solutions and responsive customer support has made it a trusted partner for businesses seeking long-term fleet value.
“We’re pleased to be one of Pick n Pay’s commercial partners says Gina Giani, CEO, DFSK South Africa. “This partnership reflects our focus on delivering affordable vehicles without compromise.” With only two minor claims reported in the past six months, this is clear evidence that DFSK is not only affordable, but also very reliable.
