Saudi Railways (SAR) has unveiled five new freight logistics routes, linking Gulf ports with inland, Red Sea and cross‑border corridors to create a fully integrated, multimodal cargo network across the Kingdom.

🚢 Managed through key hubs including the Riyadh Dry Port and multiple freight yards nationwide, these routes support vital sectors such as petrochemicals and mining while reducing transit times, emissions and road congestion.

🪖 The timing is particularly significant. Amid ongoing conflict and instability in the Middle East, strengthening resilient, land‑based and multimodal supply chains are critical for keeping trade flowing and markets connected.

As noted by Dr Bashar Al‑Malik, CEO of SAR, the initiative enhances reliability “under all conditions”, reinforcing Saudi Arabia’s role as a key East‑West trade corridor and global logistics hub.

Early projections shared by the Centre for Risk Analysis suggest that diesel prices could increase by R12+ per litre in May, partly due to the expiry of the temporary R3/litre general fuel levy relief on 5 May.

👉 Style Towing’s Namesh Govender has added the first 65-tonne, 700 Series model to his fleet of Hino tow trucks operating in KwaZulu-Natal. The 2845 freight carrier is fitted with a 40-tonne winch and features eye-catching, customised livery.

Govender has been in the towing business since 2005 and has bought only Hino trucks for his business.

🗣️“I currently operate two other tow trucks – Hino 814 and 915 models – and over the years I have owned plenty of other Hino’s, including 8-tonners, as well as a Toyota Dyna,” he explained.

💡 The 700 Series tow truck is based on a 6x4 freight carrier model. It had its bodywork built by Durban-based Transpec while another local company, Artistic Signs and Graphics, was responsible for the stand-out livery.

Volvo and Daimler Truck are combining their extensive commercial vehicle expertise with Toyota’s fuel cell development and manufacturing experience in a joint venture aimed at strengthening the market competitiveness of cellcentric, a manufacturer of fuel cell systems.

👉 Cellcentric will be the joint centre of competence that develops, produces and commercialises fuel cell systems for heavy-duty on- and off-road transport and other heavy-duty applications with comparable requirements.

Through collaboration with industry associations and partners across the entire hydrogen value chain, the partners also aim to actively support the development of hydrogen supply and infrastructure in the early stages.

💚 The JV should contribute to the long-term vision of the European Green Deal objectives and the hydrogen society act in Japan.

Road freight operators are under immense pressure following the 32.5% increase on 1 April in the basic cost of diesel in South Africa.

🗣️ Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana announced a R3 per-litre reduction in the fuel levy during the month of April to help offset the impact of surging oil prices on domestic fuel pricing. But fleet operators worry about further fuel price increases, says the Road Freight Association, and many are concerned about clients refusing to pay higher transport rates.

😟 Access to cash reserves to pay for growing fuel costs is another source of worry for an already challenged sector. The fuller impact may only be felt towards the end of April, warns the RFA.

The recall affects 582 custom passenger vehicles (2022-2026 model year) that were made available for sale across South Africa between 2021 and 2025.

🪫Ford reports via the National Consumer Commission that the affected vehicles may have an issue with the H7 AGM battery. The affected vehicles may produce an acidic smell similar to that of rotten eggs inside the cabin, a hissing sound, or visible gas venting from the battery. In some cases, the seat area may feel unusually warm. Increased temperatures may cause a reaction in the battery that produces hydrogen sulphide gas. Prolonged exposure to this gas may pose potential health risks to vehicle occupants.

👉 Owners of the affected vehicles are urged to take their vehicles to the nearest authorised dealership for repairs, to be carried out at no cost to the consumer.

Everyone knows the rule: when traffic lights are out, you treat the intersection as a four-way stop. Simple. Basic. Non-negotiable.

Apparently not for these two truck drivers.

We watched them blast through not one – but TWO – intersections in Pretoria at around 80 km/h, without even touching the brakes. No hesitation. No regard for anyone else on the road.

What is wrong with people?

This isn’t just reckless – it’s deadly. When drivers behave like this, people don’t just get scared… they get killed.

Global logistics giant DHL will acquire local firms Vital Distribution, Vital Fleet and Staffing Logistics, if approved by South Africa’s Competition Tribunal.

💵 This follows the company’s announcement last year that it will invest R6 billion in its African business. It also plans to expand its supply chain logistics in SA, says the CEO of supply chain in DHL’s Middle East & Africa region, Orkun Saruhanoglu.

“We are seeing growing demand for specialised, outsourced logistics, particularly in life sciences and healthcare and across the transporter sector. By adding capacity, strengthening transport-led solutions and applying our contract logistics expertise, we will help customers improve service quality, manage risk and scale with confidence.”

💡 Vital Distribution provides transport, distribution and warehousing logistics services by road for FMCG, industrial, manufacturing and retail markets, while Vital Fleet manages specialised vehicles ranging from one-tonne vans to 34-tonne long-haul trucks. Vital’s human resources arm, Staffing Logistics, has a nationwide network of 96 operations across SA and can quickly deploy staff to new operations at scale.

The three companies would be folded into DHL’s operations in SA.

The US-Israel war on Iran is redrawing shipping routes overnight, sending vessels around Africa’s coast. But the safety of ships passing around the Cape cannot be guaranteed, with the Coast Guard struggling even to keep up with illegal fishing.

Nicholas Woode-Smith warns that, as traffic surges, South Africa’s struggling ports, weak infrastructure and policy missteps threaten to turn a rare logistics opportunity into a costly failure.

MAN has signed up to compete in Truck Test 2026, entering two trucks (model details under wraps for now).

⛽️ At Truck Test in 2022, the MAN TGX 26.510 6x4 recorded the best fuel consumption over the 1,100km route, achieving a remarkable 48.63 litres per 100km.

The second-most economical truck in 2022 was the MAN TGS 26.480, with an equally impressive 48.69 litres per 100km.

❓Can MAN do it again in 2026? From 3-5 Nov, a fleet of over ten of South Africa’s leading commercial vehicle brands will undergo rigorous real-world testing on the route between Johannesburg and Durban.

⚖️ The performance of MAN’s trucks against competitors will be accurately measured and the results independently compiled by TruckScience, ensuring a transparent and data-driven evaluation process.

With liabilities topping R400 billion, the RAF has become one of the biggest fiscal risks to the country's national budget.

🔎 Recent investigations have highlighted serious misconduct under former CEO Collins Letsoalo, including:
🔹 Undisclosed RAF bank accounts holding betw R1m and R100m
🔹 A R79-m lease scandal in Johannesburg
🔹 Failure to pay R300m owed to a 200-bed hospital, forcing its closure
🔹 A R4m staff party, including R40k in 'executive drinks'
🔹 Manipulated procurement processes & invoice splitting
🔹 No chief claims officer for +2yrs, despite massive backlogs

👉 With the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) now investigating and Parliament demanding action, the RAF’s situation is more urgent than ever. Fixing it is essential for protecting the country’s fiscal stability.

In a first for Japan, a high-speed Shinkansen train is running exclusively for freight transport, having been withdrawn from passenger service and reconfigured for freight handling.

📉 As the Japanese population declines, it’s been challenging for the country’s four bullet train operators to rely on passenger-rail revenue alone.

JR East, which runs three high-speed train lines north of Tokyo, launched the cargo-only bullet train service to run weekly from Morioka to Tokyo, 500km away. Its plans include building Shinkansen freight trains from scratch and extending high-speed freight services to other major cities.

JR Central, which operates 372 high-speed trains daily between Tokyo and Osaka, has also partnered with logistics group Nippon Express to offer space on passenger trains for commercial shipments.

💡 These initiatives are only expected to capture a sliver of the 10.9 million tonnes of cargo transported daily in Japan, reports the Nomura Research Institute think-tank.
