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.

Typical immobiliser installation requests in the area come from:
- Trucks: truck operators fit immobilisers to prevent trucks and loads being driven off from depots
- Mines: mine operators immobilise vehicles and equipment to control access on site
- Fleets and delivery vans: fleet managers fit immobilisers that only allow authorised drivers to start vehicles
- Bakkies: bakkie owners fit immobilisers to popular models that are frequently targeted by thieves
- Farms: farmers immobilise bakkies and tractors parked at remote fields and outbuildings overnight
- Earthmoving and plant: earthmoving contractors immobilise machines left unattended on open construction sites
