East London harbour reports vehicle export record for April

Transnet and Mercedes-Benz South Africa (MBSA) in April set an export record at the East London harbour, with more than 10 000 new C-Class vehicles exported from MBSA’s Eastern Cape plant. “In April we were the highest exporter of new vehicles in South Africa, when we recorded a total of 10 674 exports, which is a huge achievement and a record for MBSA, the East London port and the Eastern Cape as a province,” says MBSA CEO and executive director manufacturing Arno van der Merwe.
