Vehicles and driving in Durban

Durban's warm, humid climate and salty sea air make it one of the toughest places in the country for vehicle electrical systems. Corroded battery terminals, green connectors and failing earth straps are everyday problems, especially near the beachfront. As home to one of Africa's busiest ports, the city sees enormous truck volumes on the N3 towards Gauteng and along the N2, keeping heavy vehicle auto electricians in high demand. The south Durban industrial basin includes major vehicle assembly and component manufacturing, and minibus taxis run on every major route. Theft and hijacking concerns also drive strong demand for trackers and dash cams.
