Vehicles and driving in North West

North West contains much of the Bushveld Complex platinum belt, and the mines around Rustenburg and Brits keep a large number of light vehicles, buses and heavy trucks running around the clock. The N4 Platinum Corridor links the area to Pretoria and the Botswana border, while the N14 and N12 cross the western maize and cattle country towards Vryburg and Klerksdorp. Hot summers, dusty farm roads and cold Highveld winters all take a toll on batteries and alternators. Weekend visitors to Hartbeespoort Dam and Pilanesberg add boats, caravans and leisure 4x4s that need trailer wiring and auxiliary power.
