Vehicles and driving in Port Elizabeth

Gqeberha and the wider Nelson Mandela Bay metro form one of South Africa's main vehicle manufacturing centres, with assembly plants in Kariega and the city, plus a large network of component suppliers. That gives the area a deep pool of skilled automotive technicians. The Port of Port Elizabeth and the newer Port of Ngqura at Coega generate heavy truck traffic on the N2. The city is known for strong winds, and the salty coastal air speeds up corrosion on battery terminals and wiring. Taxis, bakkies and family cars all depend on dependable charging systems, and vehicle security fitments remain popular.
