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.
