All Japanese vehicle manufacturers selling into South Africa have been affected by that country’s recent earthquake and tsunami disaster. If the latest assessments of implications are anything to go by, a tough (but hopefully short) time lies ahead for a section of the local assembly industry, its dealerships and customers, writes UDO RYPSTRA
To much applause, the Consumer Protection Act (CPA) is now in full swing. GAVIN MYERS briefly explores the act and what it means for consumers and the industry.
Round two of our series on the Administrative Adjudication of Road Traffic Offences (AARTO) Act. As promised, GAVIN MYERS will continue the feature with an outline of the Act from a business perspective – what it means, how it works, what the implications will be, and how to manage it.
When it comes to recycling cars and commercial vehicles, South Africa has a lot to learn from first world countries where OEMs themselves set the pace. UDO RYPSTRA asks whether the time has not come for their greater involvement in the local market for second-hand parts and the recycling of hazardous fluids, as well as of end-of-life vehicle skeletons.
