As of August 2, 2019, the prime mover truck market in Kenya is dominated by Mercedes Benz Actros, with a significant 52% market share.
DT Dobie's Sales and Marketing Director, Alexander Helfritz, attributes the success of the Actros to its reputation for reliability, long life, and value for money, backed by factory-trained technicians and a comprehensive stock of spares.
The company's training program for drivers, led by Joe Mungai, also plays a crucial role in maximizing fuel economy, prolonging the life of tyres and components, and promoting road safety and defensive driving.
