Windhoek, Namibia – Grain processor Namib Mills depends on its fleet of Hino trucks for dependable and efficient transport of raw materials and finished goods across the country. A recent addition, a Hino 700 2841 truck tractor, is performing effectively in daily operations.
Paired with a three-axle GRW tautliner trailer, it regularly handles payloads between 28 and 30 tons on Namibia's primary routes. Within the Namib Mills fleet, this specific truck achieves an average fuel consumption of 2,89 km/litre (34,6 l/ 100 km) and records an average operational cost per kilometre of N$20,07, figures reported to meet the company's expectations.
Supporting its extensive logistics and distribution network nationwide, the Namib Mills fleet incorporates 119 Hino trucks. This diverse mix includes models from the Hino 200, 300, and 500 series. Fuel efficiency and favourable lifetime operating costs are significant factors driving Namib Mills' choice of Hino as a key business partner.
"We also select Hino trucks because they are competitively priced while providing reliable and durable performance,” commented Willem le Roux, Namib Mills’ Distribution and Logistics Manager.
"An added benefit is the availability of capable after-sales service through several dealerships located around the country.”
Maintenance for the Hino fleet is conducted regularly at Hino Pupkewitz dealers in Namibia, strictly adhering to the manufacturer's prescribed service intervals.
“This proactive maintenance approach supports the consistent performance and reliability we experience from our Hino trucks over extended periods,” explained Le Roux. “It also helps ensure the smooth running of our business, which operates according to demanding schedules.”
When asked about future Hino purchases, Le Roux responded decisively: “Absolutely!”
Founded in 1982 as a small milling operation, Namib Mills has established a long-standing presence in Namibia. The company has expanded significantly and now offers a range of products including maize meals, flour, mahangu, sugar, rice and pasta.
