Investment and fleet direction

Transkamba’s fleet has grown beyond 100 motor vehicles, including specialist trucks for cement, fuel and asphalt. The combination of haulage, workshop space and a large operating yard reflects the capital intensity required to serve Angola beyond Luanda.

Truck market

OEM brands competing for fleet orders

European and Chinese heavy-truck brands compete strongly in construction, fuel and general haulage, with Chinese equipment especially visible in infrastructure-linked applications.

Distribution

Dealers, workshops and aftersales

Luanda is the dominant sales and parts centre, while Lobito and other corridor locations gain importance as mining and port traffic expands.

Fleet economics

Taxation and import treatment

Truck import economics depend on tariff classification, VAT and the applicable investment or sector regime. Petroleum, mining and infrastructure projects may obtain different treatment from ordinary commercial haulage.

Asset strategy

New versus used equipment

Used equipment remains part of the market, but parts availability and the distances between workshops can make newer vehicles attractive for national contracts.
