Besides inland transports in containers, by truck or car-carrier, many vehicles are transported by own wheels from the port of discharge to their final destination.
Difficult inland transportation by own wheels
Inland transportation requires constantly updated information on the current local infrastructures, i.e., knowledge of routes, accessible borders, road conditions, bridges to cross, rainy seasons, updates on former passable routes, rebels’ territory or instability or even natural disasters – own wheels are often the only option to reach the very final destination.
Tailormade transport solutions
We tailor the right solution for delivery of each vehicle to landlocked destinations in Africa – whether it is by truck, rail or own wheels - and to the agreed time. Whether the destination is Garowe in Somalia or Kananga in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, we do our utmost to find the right solution for Toyota and troubleshoot en route should this be required. On average, we transport more than 500 vehicles for Toyota every year all over Africa.
