Vehicles and driving in Richards Bay
Richards Bay is built around its deep-water port and one of the world's largest coal export terminals, along with aluminium smelters, mineral sands mining and wood chip exports. Coal and timber trucks on the N2 and the R34 run around the clock, and their lighting, charging and cab electrics need constant attention. The climate is hot and humid for much of the year, which speeds up battery wear and corrosion, especially close to the harbour. Sugar cane farms around Empangeni and Felixton keep tractors and haulage trucks working hard through the crushing season, and industrial contractors run fleets of bakkies with beacons and work lights.

Typical alternators and starters requests in the area come from:
- Trucks: 24 V alternators, starters and solenoids for long-haul and distribution trucks
- Mines: heavy-duty charging and starting units for mine vehicles and equipment
- Fleets and delivery vans: exchange unit supply with core returns to keep fleet downtime and costs down
- Bakkies: heavy-duty alternators and starter motors for petrol and diesel bakkies doing tough work
- Farms: alternators and starters for tractors, bakkies and stationary engines on farms
- Earthmoving and plant: heavy-duty 24 V alternators and starters for excavators, loaders and graders
