Vehicles and driving in Nelspruit

Mbombela is the capital of Mpumalanga and sits on the N4 Maputo Corridor, a key freight route between Gauteng and Mozambique's port at Maputo. Trucks run this route day and night, and their lighting and charging systems take a beating. The Lowveld is hot and humid in summer, which shortens battery life and speeds up corrosion. The city is surrounded by citrus, macadamia and banana farms, and it is a gateway to the Kruger National Park, so safari 4x4s, tour vans and caravans with dual-battery and fridge setups are a common sight. Local taxis also keep auto electricians busy.
