Vehicles and driving in Eastern Cape

The Eastern Cape is the historic heart of South Africa's motor manufacturing, with vehicle assembly plants in Gqeberha, Kariega and East London and a large component supplier network around the Coega and Nelson Mandela Bay industrial zones. Away from the metros, long gravel roads through the former Transkei and Karoo farmland shake loose wiring and punish lights and charging systems. The N2 hugs the coast where sea air corrodes terminals, while the interior around Komani and Graaff-Reinet sees cold winter nights. Livestock farmers, game lodges and Wild Coast travellers rely on bakkies and 4x4s with dual batteries and auxiliary lighting.
