Recently, our customized new TUKTUK prototype for African clients has been fully produced and undergone special exhibition and detail confirmation at the factory showroom. This custom model, designed for South Africa’s commercial scenarios, is not only a core layout for us to deepen our presence in the South African tricycle market but also provides local dealers with highly competitive source supplies, thanks to its dual advantages of "long battery life + road condition adaptability".
The South African commercial tricycle market has distinct pain points: On one hand, high-frequency operations such as urban-rural connection and community delivery have strict requirements for vehicle battery life. Conventional models often interrupt operations due to insufficient battery life, affecting merchants’ profits. On the other hand, the complex road conditions (e.g., gravel roads, steep slopes) in some areas of South Africa easily cause problems like chassis damage and insufficient load capacity for ordinary tricycles, increasing maintenance costs and operational risks.
To address these pain points, the new TUKTUK has achieved targeted upgrades: First, it is equipped with a customized long-range power system, with both battery capacity and energy efficiency improved. The battery life is 20% longer than that of conventional models, supporting high-frequency operations for over 10 hours a day without frequent recharging. Second, the vehicle structure has been optimized specifically – an anti-bump chassis made of thickened steel is adopted, the load-bearing capacity of the frame is enhanced (maximum load increased by 15%), and special anti-slip and wear-resistant tires are matched, effectively adapting to South Africa’s complex road conditions and reducing vehicle wear.
As a direct manufacturer, we eliminate multiple middlemen markup links, which not only ensures stable product quality (each prototype undergoes 3 rounds of performance testing) but also reserves a profit margin of over 30% for dealers. Currently, the exclusive customization channel for the South African market is open. We sincerely invite South African commercial TUKTUK dealers, regional traders, and logistics equipment purchasers to discuss cooperation, explore the market together with highly adaptable products, and achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.
