Vehicles and driving in Vanderbijlpark

Vanderbijlpark was built around its steelworks, which remains one of the largest steel production sites in South Africa, and the surrounding industrial zone supports engineering firms, contractors and transport fleets. Heavy trucks, cranes and earthmoving equipment working in and around the plant need dependable starters, alternators and wiring that can cope with dust and heat. The town also hosts the Vaal University of Technology, bringing plenty of students with older second-hand cars. Sebokeng, Bophelong and Boipatong generate busy minibus taxi routes. Riverside resorts along the Vaal attract caravans and boats, especially through the summer holidays.
